Following the pageant, Governor Lake

tending this annual event and commend
ed the women who are conducting the
camp for girls. To the Scouts he ad
dressed some earnest words as to ne
valuable and Worthwhile things theY
We're doing while they We're having a

enable them to do their part for the { l.
ture of the nation. The happy family

of the future. he said. and at the cen

mother and companion who needs to be
strong in body and mind. At the same

ties of citizenship without losing her
home and family duties. In that view

the right preparation of no element of

of the group which he was addressing.
1t meant insuring the nation.

WATCHFULNEs OVER MILK
CUTTING OFF EPIDENIICS

Due to the activities Of practicng
physicians and local health officers, dis
ease epidemics caused by polluted milk
are becoming less frequent than a few
years ago. says the state board of health
in its weekly letter. The process of pas
teurization of milk has been responsible
to a considerable degree in preventing
milk epidemics.
Within a month a typhoid bacillus
carrier was located on a milk farm, af-
ter several cases had been reported on
the milk route.
Similarly a case Of diphtheria occurred
on milk farm, and swabs We're taken
from the nose and throat of the score
of people on the farm. The sale of milk
was at once forbidden. The owner of
the farm who incidentally did the milk
ing, proved to be a diphtheria bacillus
carrier when the laboratory examined
the cultures made from the swabs For
tunately, the milk was pastuerized and
no cases of diphtheria appeared On the
route.
Health officers now make careful in
vestigations and reports when diseases
occur on the premises of a milk handler.
Most of us can make a little truth go
long way by stretching it.

Author Of "The Voice of the Pack,

light did not answer in the least de
gree the picture he had carried of
Linda.
He remembered her as a blond
headed little girl with irregular fea-
lures and a rather unreasonable al
lowance of LONELINESS. All the way
he had thought of her as a baby sis
ter-not as a woman in her flower.
For a long second he gazed at her in
speechless amazement.
Her hair was no longer blond.
True, it had peculiar red lights when
the freight shone through it; but he
knew by the light of day it would be
deep brown. He remembered her as
IN awkward little thing thai was
hardly able to keep her feet under
her. This tall girl had the wilderness
grace-which is the grace of a deer
and only blind eyes cannot see it. He
dimly knew that she wore a khaki
colored skirt and a simple blouse of
white tied with a blue scarf. Her
arms were bare in the fires CLEAN.
And there was a dark beauty about
her face that simply could not be
denied.
She came toward him, and her
hands were open before her. And her
lips trembled. Bruce could see them
in the freight.
1t was a strange meeting. The fire.
light gave 1t n tone of unreality, and
he whole forest world seemed to
pause in its whispered business as If
to watch. 1t was as If they had been
brought face to face by the mandates
of an memorable destiny.
$50 you've come?' the girl said.
The words were spoken unusually
soft, scarcely above a whisper; but
they were inexpressibly vivid to
Bruce. They told first of a boundless
relief and joy at his coming. But
more than that, in these deep vibrant
tones was the expression of an I'M
quenchable life and spirit. Every
fiber of the body lived in the fullest
sense; he knew this fact the instant
thai she spoke.
She smiled at him, ever so quietly.
~"Bwoyaboo,'' she said, recalling the
name by which she called him in her
babyhood, you've come to Linda"
, 1922-09-06

and no longer lived with the family
l mentioned before. l came here, TO
this old house-and made it decent
TO live in. l cut my own wood for my
fuel except when one of the men
tried to please me by cutting it for
me. l wouldn't use it at first. Oh,
Bruce wouldn't touch It'll"
Her face was no longer lovely. 1t
was drawn with terrible passions.
But she quieted at once.
"At last l saw plainly that 1 was a
little fool-that all they would do for
me, the better off / was. At first,
almost starved t. death because
wouldn't use the food hat they sent
me. tried to grub it out of the hills.
But l came to it at last. But, Bruce.
there were many things l didn't come
to. Since l learned the truth, / have
never given n of them a smile ex-
cept in scorn, not a word that wasn't
a word of hate.
you are a city man. Bruce. You
don know what hate me,ns. 1t
doesn't live in the cities. But it lives
up here. Believe me, if you ever be-
~ IT, hih iu II lives up mere.
The most bitter and the blacklist hate
from birth until DEATH 1t burns
out the heart, Bruce. BUT l don't
know that I can make you under
stand"
She paused, and Bruce looked away
into the pine forest. He believed the
girl. He knew that this grim land
was the home of direct and primitive
emotions. Such things as mercy and
remorse We're out of place in the
game trails where the wolf pack
hunted the deer.
"When they knew how I hated
them" she went on, they began to
watch me. And once they knew that
l had fully understood the situation,
| was no longer allowed to leave this
little valley. There are only two
trails, Bruce. One goes to Elmira's
cabin on the way to the store. The
other encircles the mountain. With
all their numbers, 1t was easy to keep
watch of those trails. And they told
me what they would do if they found
me trying to go past
you don't mean-they threatened
your"
She threw back her head and
laughed, but the sound had no joy in
ii. Threatened If you think
threats are common up here, you are
a greener tenderfoot than ever 1 took
you for. Bruce, the law up here is
the law of force. The strongest wins.
The weakes dies. Wait till YOU, see
Simon. You'll understand then-and
you'll shake in your Shoes
The words grated upon him, yet he
didn't resent them. 'I've seer ST.
mon," he told her.
She glanced toward him quickly,
and it was entirely plain hat the
quiet tone in his voice had surprised

her. Perhaps the falntest flicker of
admiration came into her eyes.
HE tried to stop you, did he? OF
curse he would. And you came, any
way. May heaven bless you for it,
Bruce" She leaned toward him, APP
pealing. "And forgive me what I
said"
Bruce stared at her in amazement
He could hardly realize that this was
the same voice that had been so torn
with passion a moment before. In an
instant all her hardness was gone
and the tenderness of a sweet and
wholesome nature had taken its place.
He felt a curious warmth stealing
over him.
They meant what they said, Bruce.
Believe me, If those men can do no
other thing, they can keep their word.
They didn't just threaten death to
me. 1 could have run the risk of that,
Badly as I wanted to make them pay
before 1 died, l would have gladly
u that risk.
"You are amazed at the free way /
speak of death. The girls you know,
in the city, don't even know the word,
They don't know what 1t means. They

CHAPTER TX

AS the fire burned down to Goals
and the stars wheeled through the
sky, Linda told her story. The two
of them were seated in the soft grass
in front of the cabin, and the moon
light was on Linda's face as she
talked. She talked very low at first.
indeed there was no need for loud
tones. The whole wilderness world
was heavy with silence, and a whis-
per carried far. Besides, BSuce was
just beside her, watching her with
narrowed eyes, forgetful of every
thing except her story.
I've waited a long time to tell you
this" she told him. "Of course, when
we were babies together in the or
phanage, I didn't ever know 1t. 1t
has taken me a long time since to
learn all the details; most of them /
got from my aunt, old Elmira, whom
you talked to on the way out. Part
of it l knew by intuition, and a little
of 1t is still doubtful.
you ought to know first how hard
have tried to reach you. OF course,
L didn't try openly except at first
the first years after / came here. and
before l was old enough to under
stand" She spoke the last word with
a curious depth of feeling and a per-
ceptible hardness about her lips and
eyes. Il remembered just two things.
That the man who had adopted you
was Newton Duncan; one of the
nurses at the asylum told me that.
And ! remembered the name of the
city where he had taken you.
"You must understand the Difficult
ties l worked under. There is no
rural free delivery up here, you know,
Bruce. Our mall is sent from and
delivered to the little post office at
Martins store over fifteen miles
from here. And some one member of
a certain family that lives near here
goes down every week to get the mail
for the entire district.
"At first-and that was before 1
really UNDERSTOOD wrote you many
letters and gave them to one of this
family to mail for me. / was Just a
child then. you must know, and 1
lived in the same house with these
people. They were just baby let
tiers from-from Linda-Tinda to Bwoy-
aboo-letters about the deer and the
berries and the squirrels-and all the
wild things that lived up here"
Berries !" Bruce cried. 81 had some
on the way up" His lone wavered,
and he seemed to be speaking far
away. 81 had some once-long ago."
Yes. Yoa will understand, soon.
I didn't understand why you didn't
answer my letters. l understand now,
though. You never got them"
mo. / never got them. But there
are several Duncans in my city. They
might nave gone astray."
"They went astray-but it was be

it was part of the plan that l should
never get in communication with you
again-that o would be lost to me

into the darkness and spoke almost in

into the darkness and spoke almost in
a monotone.
But Simon-just a boy then-and
Dave, his brother, and the others of
them kept after us like so many
wolves. There was no escape. The
only thing we could do was TO fight
back-ane that was the way we
learned to hate. A man can hate.
Bruce, when he is fighting for his
home. He can learn it very well when
he sees his brother fall dead, or his
father-or n stray bullet hit his wife.
A woma can learn 1t, too, as old Ell
mira did, when she fiads her sons
body in the dead leaves. There was
no law here to stop it. The little sem
blance of law that was in the valleys
below regarded it as a blood-feud, and
didn't bother itself about it. Besides
at first we We're too proud to call for
help. And after our numbers were
few, the trails were watched-and
those who tried to go down into the
valleys-never got there.
'tDne after another the ROSES were
killed, and l needn't make il m
worse for you than / can help-by
telling of each killing. Enough to say
that ut last no n was left except
a few old men whose eyes were too
dim to shoot straight, and my own
father. And I was a baby then-just
born.
"Then one night my father-seeing
the fate that was coming down upon
them-took the last course to defeat
them. Matthew Folger-a connection
, 1922-09-06

by marriuge-was still alive. Simon's
clan hadn't attacked him yet. He had
no share in the land, but instead lived
in this house I live in now He had
Il few cattle and some pasture land
further down the Divide. There had
been no purpose in killing him. He
hadn't been worth the extra bullet.
"One night my father left me asleep
and stole through the forests to talk
to him. They made an agreement. /
have pieced 1t out, a little at n time.
My father decided all his land to Fol
ger.
81 can understand now. The enemy
clan pretended 1t was n blood-feud
only-and that 1t was fair wal to XIII
the Rosses. Although my father knew
their real aim was to obtain the land.
he didn't think they would dare kill
Matthew Folger to get 1t. He knew
that he himself would fall, sooner or
later, but he thought that to kill Fol
ger would show their cards-and That
would be too much, ever for Simon's
people. But he didn't know. He
hadn't foreseen to what lengths they
would GO"
Bruce leaned forward. $50 they
killed-Matthew F'olger?' he asked.
He didn't know that his face had
gone suddenly stark w;ite, and that
II curious glitter had come to his eyes.
He spoke b~reathlessly. For the name
Matthew Folger-called up vague
memories that seemed to reveal great
truths TO him. The girl smiled grimly.
Let me go on. My father decided
Folger the land. The Iced was to
go on record 10 that all the world
would know that Folger owned 1t, and
II the clan killed him 1t was plainly
for the purposes of greed alone. But
there was also n secret agreement
drawn up In black INT white and to
be kept hidden for twenty-one years.
In this agreement, Folger promised to
return to me-the only living heir of
the Rosses-the lands acquired by the
deed. In reality, he was only holding
them in trust for me. n was to re-
turn them when / was t~wenty-one.
In case of my fathers death, Folger
was to be my guardian until that time.
"Folger knew the risk he ran. but
he was a brave mar and he did moi
care. Besides. he was my fathers
friend-and friendship goes far in the
mou-sains. And my father was shot
down before a week was past.
The clan had acted quick, you see.
When Folger heard of it, before the
dawn, he came to my fathers house
and carried me away. Before another
night was done he was killed too"
