There they COME" cried Bar
bara. And from his window the
little kentuckian saw the company
coming up the path, brave with
gay clothes and smiles and gal
lantries.
All the men were dressed alike
and not one was dressed like him.
Panic assailed him. and once more
he looked at the clothes on the bed,
and then without hesitation walked
through the hallway, and stopped
on the threshold of the front door.
A quaint figure he made there, and
for the moment the gay talk and
. laughter quite ceased
No son of Powhatan could have
stood there with more dignity, and
young Harry Dale's face broke into
smile of welcome. His father he

young gentlemen suddenly repress-

From the sun-dial on the edge of
the high bank, straight above the
brim of the majestic yellow James,
noble path of thick grass as
broad as a modern highway ran
hundreds of yards between hedges
of roses straight to the open door
OF the great manor house with its
wide verandas and mighty pillars
/ set deep back from the river IN a
grove of ancient oaks.
( The second son of the reigning
generation, one Colonel Dale, sat in
! the veranda alone. He was roy
alist officer, this second son, but
! his elder brother had the spirit OF
daring and adventure that should
! have been his, and he had been SIT

| that elder brother came home from
his first pioneering trip into the
wilds, to tell that his wife was dead
and their only son was a captive
among the Indians. Two years
later still, word came that the Ia

InGentured servants as well as

that path in front of him; and up
il had once Stalked a deputatlon oil

In that path had come the last OF
the early colonial DANES, in huge
ruffs, high-heeled shoes, and snort
skirts.
Down it now came a little girl

gone-and her coming was Just as
though one of the flowers about her
had stepped from its gay company

there was no fear, though what she

The little girl rose startled. but
her breeding was too fine for be-
trayal. and she went to him with
hand outstretched They boy took
it as he had taken her fathers.
Imply and without rising. The
father frowned and smiled-how
could the lad have learned man

hole in the moccasin through which
the bleeding had started again.
You are hurt-you have walked
long way?"
The lad shrugged his shoulders
carelessly.
Take him into the kitchen. Bar
bara, and tell Hannah to wash his
foot and bandage it."
The boy looked uncomfortable and
shook his head, but the little girl
! was smiling and she told him to
come with such sweet imperious-
mess that he rose helplessly. Old
Hannah's eyes made a bewildered

Swiftly the old negress bound

ell of the great house in which was
a tub of warm water.

She closed the door. Once, win

had bath in his life. and he did
not know what the word meant;

GO on WITH THE STORY.

Never mind now, SAID old joel,
soothingly, you must keep still!'
The boys eyes had begun to shift
under the scrutiny and he started
away.

the wounded man, and still search

/ "Who is that boy?" Nor would
he have his wound dressed or even
take the cup of water handed to
him until old Joel briefly told the
story, when he lay back on the
ground and closed his eyes.

was laid on d rude bed within one

close 10 the door. The stranger
lad refused to sleep indoors and
huddled himself in a blanket on
/ the ground in one corner of the
stockade. Men, women and chill
dren fell to a deep and weary sleep
An hour later the boy in the cor
ner threw aside his blanket, and
| when lydia Noe, feverish and
thirsty. rose from her bed to get a
drink of water outside her door
she stopped short on the threshold
The lad, stark naked but for his
breech-clout and swinging his
bloody scalp over his head, was
stamping around the tire-dancing

low, fierce, cultural song.
The boy saw her, saw her face II

fright and horror, saw her too par
alyzed to move and he stopped
staring at her a moment with say
age rage, and went on again. Ole
Joel's body filled the next doorway
With an oath and threatening
gesture Joel motioned to the cor
ner of the stockade, and with
flare of defiance in his black eyes
the lad stalked slowly and proudly

wounded man called, and old Joe
turned. There was a CHASTITY smile

EXPERT BROUGHT
FOR WELL TESTS

According to the latest information
received in FL Centre by MN. Black,
who is interested in the Brawley oil
WELL, it is confidently expected that
something definite will result this week
from the visit of j. d. Greene, an ex-
pert in the bringing in of wells who was
built up an enviable reputation during
years of service for the Standard Oil
Company and for the United States
government in various oil fields.
Mr.. Greene has been brought to the
Brawley well by the directors of the
oil company, with instructions to use
his own judgment i'll ascertaining il
the well is commercially productive.
Though he has not advanced any in
formation as to his plans, it is believed
he will place a small charge in the well
at first for the purpose of shooting
it out - and if this proves unsuccessful,
will increase the size of the charge until
oil is produced or the well abandoned
as hopeless. In the opinion of all in
terested in the well, the latter does not
seem possible, owing to the fine show
ing of oil bearing sand produced in the
last few weeks and the belief is held
that in cementing the well, it became
clogged. thus preventing the oil from

his relief that the taxes be reduced
The outstanding feature OF the new
tax law written by the special session
of the Republican Congress was an in
crease of $500 in the tax exemption
OF the head of every family who rel
ceives an annual income Of 5000 or,
less. In addition. his exemption fol.
children and dependents was double,
from 5000 TO $500. These exemption
embrace practically all those on :;
wage or salary. 1t includes over A.
100000 heads of families in ordinary
circumstances. In addition, the new
tax law repealed altogether tho
nuisance" taxes which working men
had to pay on everything everywhere
for everything they bought. 1t also
repealed all transportation taxes
which were levied on all goods shipped
by freight or express or parcel post.
Such taxes were added to the ultimate
cost Of goods and, in the long run,
were paid by the working men All
told, the new tax bill lifted from tho
shoulders of the working classes OF
this country over 100000, 900 a year
According to report issued by tho
u. 8. Department of Labor June, 1922.
the retail cost of living was gradually
reduced from March, 1921. to the timo
the report was issued. The living costs
in no other nation in the world wer0
reduced during this same time. .
The sum and total of one year o,
Harding's administration, so far rs it
affects the working people, has been
the elimination of the problem Of un.
employment except in those industrie !;
affected by strikes; reduction OF take
paid by the working classes in a sun,
aggregating nearly billion dollars
the restriction of immigration; a gen
eral program Of lessened public ea'
penditures which insures still furthei

earners and men on salaries: a graz!

that time there were between 5,00o,o ooo
tAAd s.oce.000 wage-earners out OF en-
plDyment whom the Republican ad-
ministration came into power March

began early in the summer OF 1920.
! The immediate problem before the he
!publican party was the return to nor
lmal conditions.
| The underlying cause OF Industrial
depression was the prostration OF agri-
culture brought about by the radical
;curtailment Of agricultural credits by
1.-THE Democratic administration. The
American farmer buys 40 per cent. OF
iall manufactured products. His des-
ioeYste circumstances compelled indus
tries to curtail production and turn
imen into the streets. The Republican
lcongress Immediately restored agri-
culture to a healthy condition. The
farmer entered the market again az
buyer OF manufactured goods. The

decrease.
At the time the coal and railroad
strikes were called { 60 was great

One of the most important contribut-
ing factors to the improvement OF the
unemployment situation was the early
jenactment by the special session OF

)strictive immigration law. This was

the United States. Its enactment pre-
