when, food was tough, it seems that
the English jaw was big. strong.
square, and firm; but today the jaw
is narrowing. and as a consequence
the shape Of the face is being altered
altogether. This is serious news for

WHAT IS lLLITERAcY7

A, new definition of illiteracy seems
to be needed. The superintendent Of the
Atlantic City schools tells the Rotary
club that the United States is "the
most illiterate nation" basing his aver.
ment on census figures showing more
than 5000. 900 Of our people who
neither read nor write the English
tongue, Of whom 12s. 900 inhabit New
Jersey. It. is well to urge,S.as Mfr. Boyer
did. SO feelingly, that these persons
should be taught to use our tongue
But they are not necessarily illiterate

back from across the palings, and its

snow beside John .Moreland's foot.

It was q living curse, breathing
curse-a terrible ,anathema. If deal
David Moreland himself had arisen
from the tomb and uttered 1t, it would
not have struck John, K Dale with
greater force. He grew weak, as
though with fatal sickness. He sank
to his knees in the snow, and his iron
gray head fell forward to his breast.
Elizabeth Littleford knelt in the snow
beside him.. She tried to find comfort
ing words, for she loved him and was
sorry for him, but no words would
come. -. 3 =
There was a,slight sound, the muf-
fed breaking Of a dry twig in the
snow just beyond the palings in front
Of them. Elizabeth Littleford looked
up to see. the giant figure Of John
Moreland, whose face was white and
whose eyes were filled with the fire Of
hate and anger, who held q rife in his
cold, bare hands. The rifles hammer
came back, and the fine trigger caught
it with faint click. & '.3'

and leyeled the weapon across the

Old Dale raised his head, saw David
Moreland's brother, and realized all
there was to realize. His eyes widened
little; then 4 look OF relief fitted
across his heavy cOantenance.

said bravely, and his head was high.
According to your code. it Is just. And
I'll be able to forget at last, at last. So

! Moreland WINGED perceptibly. The
big, crooked finger came way from the
hair-fine trigger. He had never expect

day, the Lakeland club yesterday
moving into first place through its

got a strangle hold on first position.
Several weeks ago Daytona managed
to pull them out but the Islanders
could hold the place only two days,
the Pinellas aggregation regaining it
and sticking to it unit yesterday. Rain

cause of the Saints upset. Tuesday,
