Fond the sparkling creek that flowed

TALLY hidden by n clump of blooming
laurel. But Dale could see that she
was about twenty; that every line of
her rounded, graceful figure Nwhis-
pered of doelike strength; that she
was as straight as young pine; that
her chestnut-brown hair caught the
sunlight, and that her face was oval
shaped and handsome-rather than
pretty-in spite of its tan.
Dale took off his hat. There was a
bullet hole in the very top of its high
peaked crown.
''Who's the robber?" he frowned.
The girl blushed
"Mebbe he amt robber," she said.
"Mebbe lie thought you was somebody

Dale smiled "Oh, not seriouslyr'

She pointed over her shoulder with

"Would you mind showing me the

planned with smile.
"Oh. my home Why didn't We say

Dale faced to the right and saw,
coming toward him with steps that
would have measured almost four
feet, the tnllest and lankiest individ-
ual he had ever seen outside a circus.
The newcomer had smoothly shayen
chin, his coal-black hair was long and
his long mustache completely hid the
narrow slit that was his mouth. In
one hand he carried a repeating rife.
"Who's that?' Dale half whispered.
That's BY Heck" answered the
girl. She continued in a low voice.
His names Sam Heck; but pap. he
called him BY Heck one day, and the
nickname stuck to him like molasses.

CHAPTER /.
David more!and,s Mountain.

3 ,clyle Wilburton DaIe-known to
himself and few close friends as Bill
Dile-had laid out a course of action
almost before the northbound train
had left the outskirts of the state cap
ita behind. 1t incurred facing big
odds; but other men had faced big
odds and won out. and what others
lad done he could do. Indeed, he had
liready done several things which
other men might not have thought of
toing and one of them was leaving a
bride. not fgurstive!y but literally, at
the altar in fashionable church But
he knew Patricia hadn't wanted to
ntsrry him any mose than he had
wanted to marry her.
1t was only natural for him to think
of coal, now that he had cut loose for
all time from the "set" in which he
& had always been a colossal rnisfit. now
that he must pull his own oars or vir-
tuatly perish. He had heard coal
talked since the day of his birth: to
him coal and business meant exactly
the same.
One of his fathers associates had
often spoken of a fine vein in he
mountains of eastern TennesSee-had
often tried to persuade his father to
look into 1t. to no avail. Young Dale re-
: membered that this vein lay not far
from a long railroad siding called the
Halfway Switch. In the vicinity of Big

mountain folk of English descent, his
fDfhnr's or ha nj
strange thought Dale, that his father
had never cared to Investigate 1t.
The Cindery little train reached the
long siding about the middle of fine
spring morning. Dale took up his bag.
Fastened out and soon found himself
stsnding alone in the heart of an ex-
tremely wild section of country.
When the noises Of the little train
and the fast mail it had just met had
died away. there came the saucy chat
tering of boomer squirrels and the
sweet twiftering of birds. Dale caught
the joyous spirit. He Could have
fairly shouted out of the fIllness of
his very human heart. Here all was
unspoiied and unprofaned and some
thing whispered within him:
They won't call you a savage
here-make this your own country
From somewhere on nearby
mountainside a rifles keen report split
the air; bullet whined like mad
hornet; DaIe's hat jumped little on
his head.
The awakening WAS exceedingly
rude. Dale wheeled. his gray eyes
,i,Iaze. and saw only tiny cloud of
sfuoke-nist rising from the laurels
uore than fifty feet away.

ACTING ON STAGE is
MORE WORK THAN WE
FANS THINK 1T TO BE
f',What a Girl Can Become


We can't blame a girl for becom-
ing stage struck" The stage seems
TO hold great attraction for the
girls, and besides nearly every one
OF Us IS always wishing, or has
wished, that he were something he's
not
The trouble is so many persons,
in spite of all the "wised-up" movie
fans and matinee followers, don't
know all the conditions behind the
footlights.
Acting, the experienced say. isn't
as easy as it looks. At first con-
sideration we think it is little more
than depending upon ones talent.
That is what acting is-partly. But
there isn't an actor on the stage to-
day who has been on for more than
three or four seasons, who has de-
pended upon his talent alone. He
has practiced, and drilled and prac-
ticed He has worked hard and
long, and his toiling, together with
his gift" las placed him where
he is.
Acting is work.
After an afternoon spent in watch
ing and listening TO the clever &C
tress run through her part and win
praise and applause, the young girl
heaves a heavy sigh of envy and
wishes she had been born with the
talent to act.
She doesn't realize that the sweet
voice and graceful movements OF the
brilliant actress were once as coarse
and even ugly as her own. And she
doesn't consider that il was only
through years of untiring effort that
the actress reached her present state
Of perfection.
There are numerous schools of
dramatic education located in the
larger cities, which train young peo-
pie in expression, voice, gesture.
etc, but there is nothing like real
experience on the stage.
1t means being willing to start at
the bottom and working for a mere
living wage, but it also means 6
good start on the road to success.
The door to the profession is al
ways open to those who are level
headed, filled with dramatic instinct,
and who are willing to work hard
and long to gain perfection.

2cDOLLAR IDEAS
A Real Business
go !. Q lkI 81 g IIn

In middle-sized town in central
Illinois there is a boy who makes
Il his business to get an order from
every housewife-or nearly every
one-in the neighborhood to wash
windows.
His working outfit consists of an
old step-ladder he found in the bAe-
ment of his home. a tin pail Tor
water, a set of drying rags that
won't lose any lint, a window clean
CT with a rubber edge on it, a
sponge, a piece of chamois skin and
a bottle of ammonia. He always
puts a little ammonia in the water.
Fifteen cents a window is his
price, but if the window is to be
cleaned on one side only, he charges
ten cents.
About once a month, and some
times oftener, especially after a few
days of hard rain, this boys Gus
toners ask him TO wash their win
dows.
In this way he is making all his
spending and banking money, and
business is good all the year round.
