w. B. Guild.

Winslow Berry Guild, son of Job
and Zeruiah Derry Guild, was born
in Coventry August 1, 1874, and died
at his home in Orleans January 81,
1922. He health had not been of the
best for several years, but he had
been around most of the time until
within about six weeks. He has had
serious hemorraghes from the nose
in recent years, which became more
and more severe, until he was SO
weakened that he could not rally.
March &c, 1870 he was united in
marriage with Flora A. Wells. Two
children were born to them, Ernest
born in 1872, who now lives in the
West, and Bernice, who died in 1874,

for their grandson, Francis A. Guild,
from 1914 until he enlisted, went to
the war and died in France in 1917.
The first 35 years of their married
life they lived on a farm at Evans
vile. Then for nine years they liv-
ed on what was his fathers old farm
in Coventry, until they came to live
in Orleans in the fall of 1914. He did
some numbering for time, but his
chief occupation has been farming.
In this he was very successful, and
competence. He held many town of
fees during the time he lived in
Evansville, was a staunch temperance
advocate and deeply interested in the
welfare of his town and community.
He was a kind and indulgent father
and loyal husband.
He united with the Congregational
church IN Coventry in early man
hood, and took letter to the Con-
gregational church at Orleans in it's
early history. He was made Master
Mason in Central Lodge F. & A. M,
Irasburg about 1870, and has al
ways taken a deep interest in Mason
leans lodge at Barton and more re-
cent member of Valley Lodge and In
tervale Chapter O. E. S. at Orleans.
The funeral was held at their home
on Church street Thursday after
noon, February I'd, Rev. R. A. Ham
ilton officiating. Masons and mem
bers of the Eastern Star attended in
body and the brothers accompanied
the procession to the tomb. Inter-
ment will be in Pleasant View ceme-
terry in the spring.

ternity, the Eastern Star and other

Orleans School Notes.

The pupils of the grades and high
school received a most interesting
and instructive talk on "Eskimos
and Their Modes of Living" by Rev.
Vernon Young of North Troy on Fri
day afternoon. Rev. Young has liv-
ed among the Eskimos and through
his experiences was able to give the
pupils much lasting and valuable in
formation.
Visitors in the grades this week
were Mrs. Drake and Mrs. Dean
Trip.
Health charts are being distribut-
ed among the different rooms for the
pupils study. They are very attrac-
tive in their new frames made by
the shop boys There are many
charts including care of feet and
body, sitting and standing posture,
temperature of the schoolroom and
other health subjects.
Those concerned in the music study
of the school may be interested to
know that the fifth grade is doing
two-part song work and the sixth
grade devoting it's study to three
part work.
Samples of Colegate's dental cream
with pledge cards giving excellent
, suggestions for the care of the teeth,
were distributed this week. The Red
Cross very kindly presented the
needy children with toothbrushes.
The elevens and twelves have fin
1shed their course in economics and
are now taking up the study of ele-
mentary sociology. 1t is now every
where recognized that the very exis-
tence and permanency of our insti-
tutions is conditioned upon a sound
understanding of present American
problems.
An examination in spelling was
conducted in the grades three to
eight Monday of this week taken
from the Iowa state spelling list.
Fifty words were given in each
grade.
The class of 1927 had a party at
the school building Friday night. 1t
was well attended and everyone
seemed to enjoy the games and album
dance of "eats".

CHAPTER v.
The Bitter CUP.

Hardly had they topped the rise be-
hind which the cache was situated
when the full force of the wind caught
them. A blizzard was sweeping up,
and it grew in strength all that morn
ing, until by noon it was almost hur-
ricane. They pushed on doggedly un-
til about one O'clock avoiding the
temptation to rest ut the auxiliary
caches which had been established
along this part of the road.
At one o'clock they came to an
empty cache and horse stable, which
had been built in anticipation of win
ter development work, and had formed
the hub of many radiating reconnois-
sance roads. They had come no more
than six miles, and it was still a good
fifteen into Clayton. By this time the
blizzard had increased to an intense
violence, driving great sheets of snow
along the road. 1t was impossible to
face such a hurricane any longer.
"We'll have to wait till this let's up
a bit, Molly" said Wilton.
The little shack, hardly more than
four walls and roof, was unoccupied
Wilton broke down the door and went
in. He found the key of the stable,
unlocked it. and embarrassed the dogs.
He drove them in and shut the door
Then he took the blankets out of the
sleigh and went into the shack.
To build fire was impossible, but

Immediately, With Maddened Yells
the Pack Leaped at Him.

clothes; one sank its fangs into his
right hand, and, as he freed himself
with smashing blow, the others We're
upon him sideward.
In an instant he was struggling with
his one hand against the heavy bodies
that bore him back, shielding his
throat thrusting the whipstock into
the red, cavernous jaws, while the an
guish from his wrenched shoulder al
most made him scream with pain.
Everything was swimming round
him. They had him down. Their bel
lowing howls grew fainter In his ears.
Mechanically he kept his right hand
at his throat. The left, torn from the
sling, flopped grotesquely in front of
him. He heard the click of the fangs
that met in it, and felt no pain. He
was swooniug.
Suddenly he heard the "snap-snap"
of revolver. A leaping body seemed
to stop short in the air, and tumbled
on him, knocking him on his face.
Dimly he heard the discharge of the
weapon again. And then, out of a
semi-stupor, Molly's face, and her
tears upon his cheeks.
She was kneeling beside him upon
the floor of the stable, stanching the
blood from his wounds with strip
torn from her petticoat. Upon the
floor lay three of the dogs, dead. Two
more were writhing and moaning in a
distant corner. Wilton looked up.
Molly bowed her face upon his and
broke into hysterical weeping. 1t was
the first sign of weakness he had ever
seen in her. He held her in his right
arm. He saw that his blood had
stained her hands, her clothing.
"Molly," he said weakly, MOLLY"
| She wept in utter hopelessness. ''It
Is useless, WILL" she sobbed. "Eet us
die here. We can't go on. They have
torn you. Your arm is broken again.
Oh, the snow-the snow"
She seemed to have completely
broken down. She crouched beside
him, her whole body shaken by her
sobs. And in his apathy it seemed to
him good to lie there, with Molly at
his side, till he grew stronger, or
molly! Remember Kitty = and
Joel"
| His words seemed to galvanlze her
back to courage. She got up. Her
face grew suddenly composed. With
streaming eyes she bandaged up his
wounds She improvised another sling
to hold his arm.

"You must lie in the shack. Help will
come by noon tomorrow, perhaps

I tell you this, Molly: it's all bound
up with Joe in some way or other, and
Tom .Bowyer's at the bottom of It,"
"But first-remember Kitty" said
Molly softly, laying her hand on VIII
toms shoulder.
Even the slight touch made him
vince, for the pain Of his broken arm
was becoming unbearable. He realized
that In all probability he was in for a
long spell of illness. He knew that
the bone would have to be reset. His
head felt strangely light, and the
ground seemed to slope downhill from
him In all directions. But he shut his
teeth hard, and would not let Molly
guess. And feverish energy took
possession Of him. He must hold out
for the journey, until after the share
holders meeting-until he had told
Kitty!
"We1l take the police sled and start
at once" he said to Molly. ut looks
as If storm was brewing. I'll tell
Andersen to let those fellows go about
noon, and I'll leave the revolver with
him."
Inside the shack they found the po-
licemen eating their breakfast on the
floor, with the caretaker diligently
serving them. They were still bound
but their hands were free.
'STurn them loose at noon, Ander-
sen," Wilton said. "Give them enough
slap-bang to carry them on their way.
Just turn them loose and see that they
haven't any dangerous weapons to do
you mischief with"
"You bet l take care for that"
grinned the Swede.
Wilton let Andersen harness the
dogs, to save his strength for the jour
ney In few minutes the sled was
ready, with the sleigh carrying Joe's
body attached behind, and the huskies,
harnessed, sitting docile in the snow,
awaiting the command to mush.
The sun was just showing above the
horizon when Wilton and Molly start
ed on the second stage of their jour
ney to Clayton.

at finding the horses of King Namlat

that Piankhy started a cemetery of
