CHAPTER w
The Mystery of the Rifles.

An hour after John Moreland had
sent his ten rifle bullets whining over
the head Of Ben Lfttleford, every
Moreland and every Littleford in the
valley knew of the declaration of war.
And each man Of them oiled his weap-
ons and put them in better working
order.
When Dale went to bed, there was
too much on his mind to render sleep
ing easy for him. Tomorrow he would
have to help in the fight against the Lit
tlefords. kinsmen of the young woman
who had saved him, without doubt,
from death by the murderous rifle OF
the mountaineer Godfather break his
word fatty. 1t was poor return for
such a favor The longer he thought
over the dilemma, the more perplexed
he became.
He thought, too, of the everlasting
wonder. the tail of John Moreland's
bedtime prayer. How man could go
down on his knees and ask the bless
ings of the Almighty upon men whom
he meant to fight the next day was
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1921-08-12

Maybe it's not very much in my
favor, John Moreland," he began. Il
never could get along with my parents,
or with the set l was born into. Some
how, / was different. Father and
mother wanted me to be dandy; they
even wanted me to let a servant dress
me. The climax came when they tried
to marry me to young woman who
didn't want me any more than l want
ed her,
He opened his eyes, looked straight
at Moreland, and went on:
you see, they wanted to marry US
in order to unite old Clavering's for
tune and my dads; Patricia, like me,
was an only child. 1t had been all cut
and dried for US, for years. They put it
up to me like this: they said owed it to
them, that it was my duty; that had
always been a severe trial to them ;
that my savagery had put gray into
my mothers hair, and lot of things
of that kind fell for it at last; it
was sort of a matter of self-defense.
With Patricia, it was case of-well,
case of simple obedience. Pat is a
good girl. =
A minute of silence; then:
'I'll hurry along with it, John More
land. / had one fine friend back there.
1t was Robert McLaurin, a reporter
on the city's leading newspaper. My
parents didn't take to him because he
was a worker, and not a fop. Mother
wanted Pats cousin, poor dear Har-
ry' Clavering, for my best man. Poor
dear Harry and had fight, once

Bill Dale crossed the threshold and
accepted a creaking chair. His eyes
took in at a sweeping glance the home

oilcloth, the broken cast-iron stove, the
strings of dried peppers hanging on
the log walls, the broken stillWorm

"Sakes!" laughed the old woman.

heered them ten Shots.
"And all the Moreland rifles are
missing" Dale watched the effect Of
his words.
What" the Hecks cried in one
voice.
Their surprise seemed genuine.
Dale pressed the subject further and
learned only that if they knew any
thing concerning the disappearance
of the rifles they were not going to
tell. Then he started homeward by way
of the pool above the blown-down syc-
amore.
There was chance that Ben Little
ford's daughter would be there fishing.
Dale told himself, and it was barely
possible that she could throw some
light on the mystery of the rifles.
He crossed the river by means Of
the PROSTATE tree. Babe vas there !;
she sat on the stone on which she had
been sitting the morning before: her
back was to him, and her bare feet
were in the water to her ankles. Dale

Old Agricultural Implement.

The hoe is probably one of the old
est of agricultural implements. When
primitive man found a well-formed
limb of a tree with a sharp crook he
had hoe for the cutting, and it was
with such hoes as these that the In
dams planted their large fields OF
corn, and prepared the soil for the
planting. There probably was not
much 'hilling-up" done and less weed
cutting. There was little, for effort
was made to keep the weeds down
until the corn was high enough TO
shade the ground. Hoeing was soon
finished, and the crop was left to it
self until the ears were filling, when
the children were sent out to the fields
to scare the birds away. Farmers to-
day know what damage a flock of
blackbrds will do in cornfield, and
what must have been the strength OF
the f1ocks when nearly the whole con
tSEsant was wilderness?

| Within ten more minutes, every man
of the Morelands was gathered there
at the house of their chief-and every
man of them had lost their weapons
during the night!
John Moreland called Dale aside
and said to him:
| "You're high on the good side O.

When Dale had gone off down the
dusty oxwagon road, Caleb Moreland
climbed a tall ash that grew behind
his fathers cabin and kept watch
toward the Littleford side of the river.
He saw a group of men standing in
Ben Littlefords cabin yard, and moth

A little more than quarter of an
hour after Dale left John Moreland
he entered by the gateless gateway at
the cabin of the Hecks. 1t was di-

from the river. BY sat in the front

DOES NOT BELONG in CITY
When the Arabian Musical instrument
the Arghul, Comes to Town,
1t Degenerates.

In Cairo the arghul is played at
night in the old city, and on the
streets Of the underworld, lending it's
note and Interpretation to love songs
that somehow follow when everything
else in life has been lost or left be-
hind, writes Robert Hamilton Rucker
in Asia Magazine. At an Arabian
cafe an old man from the street will
play and young men will sing while
the coffee is being made. The arghul
sings with each and talks with each,
sympathizes, understands and seems so
earnest as to make one half believe
that the young man is singing from
his own heart and that the arghul,
long accustomed to such confidence,
knows it full well.
But, like many Of the country bred,
it seems to degenerate when it comes
to town. It falls upon evil ways; it
sings of love to the loveless; it hoyers
about the low cafes. Its friend, the
tabla-more pretentious, and perhaps
more astute-changes its name when
it comes to town and does not appear
alone at night in dark, unfrequented
streets. 1t is known as the darabukeh,
and is seen in the high-class cafes
where fayorites dance to the music
it brings. 1t has more rhythm than
melody much volume but little feel
ing. It talks from the head and sings
to the feet.
But the arghul is all sentiment anc
sympathy. It's place is the desert; it's
home, we knew as we listened there
on the rugs in front of our tents, is
in the wastes of the sandy plain and
the stiffness of the. starlit night.
