Of course he was tall. just as the fa- nous froDticrsman had been, but while the elder weighed one hundred and niuetv pounds. bone and muscle, this man did not touch one hundred and thirty. Evidently the years had brought dcgoneracy to the Failing clan. Leunoy was doso1a;ed by the thought.
 He helped Dan with his bag to a lit- tie wiry automobile that waited be side the station. They got into the two front seats, and a moment later were starting mp the long, curved road that led Co the Divide.

Yet he conveys his ideas wih entire clear ness.
 Dam realized at once that if he could he, in Len00Es eyes, one-ffth of the man his grandfather had been, he would never have to fear again the look of disappointment with which his host had greeted him at the station. But instead of reaching that high place. he had only-deafh. He knew what his destiny was in these quiet hills. And Jt was true thl4 he bGEan

saw fold on fold of ridges or a rather peculiar blue in color and even his untrained eyes cOud see that they were clothed ln forests Of evergreen. Over the heads of the green hills Dan could see a few great peaks; Me LnughIin, even and regular as q paint ed mountain; Wagner, with queer white gushcS where the snow stiI lay in It's ravircs. and to the southeast the misty range Of Snow-covered hills thnt were the Sickcyous. He felt de. cidedlv better And when he saw old Sllas LennoX waiting patiently beside the station, he reit he had come to the right place.
 It would be interesting 10 explain why Dan nt once recognized the older man for the breed he was. SllHs Len nOX was not dressed in a way that would distinguish him. Tt was true that he wore a 1annel shirt. riding trousers and rather heavy. leathern boots. But sportsmcn an over the face of the earth wear this costume at sundry times. Mountain men have a peculiar stride by which experienced persons can occasionally recognize them; hut SilaS LernOx was standing still when Dan gor his first glimpse of him. The case resolves Itself into simple matter of the things that could be read in LcnnoN's face.
 Dan djshp!ieyed wholly in book that told how to read characters at sight. Yet ot the first glance of the lenn hrorzcd face his heart gave curious little bound. A pair of gray eyes mct his-rwo fine black points in a rather hard gray iris They didn't look past him or at either side of him. or at his chin or his forehead They looked right af his own eyes The skin around thc eyes Was burned brown hy the sun and the flesh was SD lean that the chrelhuaps showed plainly. The month wQs straight; hur vel it was neither savage nor cruel IL was sim ply determined.
 Lennoy care un with a light. silent tread and extended his hand. You're Dan ratIng's Erar"sou. aren't you?" he asked "Tm Silas Lcuuoy. who used 10 know him when he lived on the Divide You are coming tO spend the summer and fall on my ranch"
 The immediate result Of these words. hpstdos relief. was 10 ser Dan wondering bow thp old mouuralnper had rrcogrtzpd him. Ho wondered lf he had any physical resemblance to his grandfather Eut rr'S hope was shot 'o earth ar once His telegram had explained ahoGt his ma'ndv. and of course the uouuaIucor had picked him out simply because he had the mark 0f fhp disease 0n his face. As he shook hands hr tried his best tn read the mountatneer's expression. IL was all too plain: an unden.aDIe look Of disappointment
 The truth was that even in spite Of all the Chamber Of Commerce head had told him. LruuuN had still hoped to find some image of rne elder Dan Failing in the face and body of his grandson.

to have secret regrets that he had come. But It wasn't that he was dis appointed in the land that WAS open ing up before him. It fulfilled every promise His sole reason for regrets lay in the fact that now the whole mountain world would know Of the decay that had come upon his people. Perhaps It would have been better to have left them to their traditions.
 He had never dreamed that the fame of his grandfather had spread so far. For the first ten miles Dan listened to stOries-legends Of a cold nerve that simply could not be shaken: of a powerful tireIeSs physique; of moral and physical strength thOt was seemingly without limit. Then. as the foothills began to give way 10 the higher ridges, and the shadow of the deeper forests fell upon the narrow, brown road there began to he long gabs in the talk. And soon they rode in utter silence, evidently both Of them absorbed In their own thoughts
 Dan did not feel oppressed at all. He merely seemed to fall into the spirit of the woods. and no words came to his lips. Every mile was an added delight to him. Not even wine could have brought a brighter sparkle to his eyes. He had begun to expert ence a vague sort of excitement. an emotion that was almost kin Co eX ultation, over the constant stir and movement of the forest life. Once. as they stopped the car to refll the ra- dlator from a mountain stream, Len. nox looked at him with sudden curl oSlty. "YOu are getting a thrill out of this. aren't youT he asked wonder. ingly.
 It was curious tone Perhaps it was a hopeful tone. too. He spoke 7s if he hardly understood
 "A thriuw Dan echoed. He spoke as a man speaks in the presence Of some great wonder. Good Heavens. l never saw anything like it in my life"

took on Mr.. Ackerlind's motion, as
he had accomplished his purpose so
far as the record was concerned
Supervisor Child suggested that a
motion should have been made to
reconsider the report of the creden-
tials committee. Mr.. Ackerlind ex-
pressed himself as being willing TO
have his motion include that idea,
but Mr.. Bailey again objected.
Want Court to Decide.
Il seems evident from the atti-
tude Of the majority OF the board
that the organization OF the new
township will not be admitted, and
that consequently the question
must be referred to the courts for
decision. That such action will be
taken, was minated by Mr.. Brad
ley.
The boards theory is that the
supervisor and assistants in the, old
Rock Island township organization
hold over because their successors
have never been elected, as they af-
firm, and qualified. Fer this reason
the name of w. H. Schillinger is in
cluded in the roll call, although Mr..
Schillinger has turned over his
books to W. f. Bradley. and Mr..
Bradley is functioning as super
visor and presiding at meetings OF
the town board. 1t is Mr. Schil-
fingers contention that his term as
supervisor has expired and that he
has been succeeded. by Mr.. Brad
ley.
Walter A. Rosenfield, commander
of Rock Island post, No. 200, Amer

that the post intended to act under

Don't Hear BradIey.
When the roll was called at the
opening w. F. Bradley. supervisor
OF Rock Island township, who was
elected by the alleged new township
OF Rock Island, asked the privilege
or making a statement-thec context
or which appeared in The Argus
last night A motion made by Sup
ervisor Carl L. Acklerlind, Rock
Island township. that Mr.. Bradley's
request for recognition be granted
was declared by L. c. First, chair
man, as out of order.
Supervisor n. A. Daley, Moline,
deprecated the entertaining of the
motion on the ground that no Gre
dentials from Mr. Bradley and the
assistant supervisors were before
the board for its action. Mr.. Acker-
lind affirmed that the committee on
credentials when il rejected the
credentials of the Rock Island sup
ervisors overruled the will of the
people as expressed at the polls.
Supervisor ]. H Richards of
Hampton stated that the board had
the right to control its own mem
bership the same as the Illinois
legislature. This contention was
denied by Supervisor ]. J. Burgess
on the ground that the board is not
a legislative body. Mr.. Burgess
said further that the board had
created the new township of Rock
Island and that its supervisors
should receive recognition.
Mr.. Bradley said he had not read
his statement to the board in order
to start an acrimonious discussion.
He wanted his demand for recogni-
ton to become a part Of the records
of the board, he said, so that he
would have basis for an appeal to
the courts, which he affirmed was in
contemplation. He added that he
did not care what action the board

Anticipate Funds.
Supervisor o. E Child, Moline
chairman of the finance committee,
told the board about $4,000 was
needed to run the county three
months. He said that by the Sep
tember session he would present
plan under which the county would
always have money on hand instead
OF anticipating the receipt OF
funds.
Bonds of w. ]. Odendahl. Charles
Oswald. and F. c. Verrick, over
seers of the poor in Hampton, ROCK
Island and Moline townships, re
spectively, in the sum or $l,Ooo
each, were approved.
A petition from Charles J. Jonn-
son asking that formal consent De
given to his operating ferry from
Campbell's island across the Water
town slough, was referred to the tu-
dietary committee. The board at
recent session gave Mr.. Johnson
temporary license.
The report Of the grand jury for
the May term, filed on May %, and
which contained request that the
supervisors ask the people OF the
county TO vote an issue of bonds Tor
the completion of the new jail, was
referred to the Jail committee.
Sheriff John G. Miller, asked that
the board employ two plain clothes
men, one from Des Moines and one
from Omaha, for special duty dur

cts. and during the Trans-Missis-
