CHAPTER .
Old Friends.


Richard Gale reflected that his So
journ in the West had been what his
disgusted father had predicted
idling here and dreaming there, with
no objective point or purpose.
II was reflection such as this, only
more Sc, ious and perhaps somewhat
desperate, that had brought Gale down
to the border. For some time the
newspapers had been printing news
Of the Mexican revolution, guerrilla
warfare, United States cavalry pa
trolling the international line, Ameri-
can cowboys fighting with the rebels,
and wild stories Of bold raiders and
bandits. Regarding these rumors Gale
was skeptical. But as opportunity,
and adventure, too, had apparently
given him a wide berth In Montana
Wyoming, Colorado, he had struck
southwest for the Arizona border,
where he hoped to see some stirring
life.
1t was after dark one evening in
early October when Richard arrived
in Casita. There was jostling, jab-
bering, sombreroed crowd Of Mexicans
around the railroad station. He felt
as II he were In a foreign country.
After q while he saw several men Of
his nationality, one of whom he en-
gagged to carry his luggage to a hotel.
OF the many people encountered by
Gale most were Mexicans. His guide
explained that the. smaller half of
Casita lay in Arizona, the other half
In Mexico, and Of several thousand
inhabitants the majority belonged on
the southern side Of the street, which
was the boundary line He also
said that rebels had entered the town
that day, causing a good deal Of ex-
citement.
Gale was almost at the end Of his
financial resources, which fact occa-
stoned him to turn away from a pre-
tentious hotel and ask his guide for
cheaper lodging house. When this
was found, a sight Of the loungers in
the office, and also a desire for COM
fort, persuaded Gale to change his
travelling clothes for rough outing
garb and boots.
"well, I'm almost broke" he solilo-
quized, thoughtfully. "The governor
said wouldn't make any money. He's
right--so far. And he said I'd be
coming home beaten. There he's
wrong. I've got hunch that some
thing II happen to me ia this Greaser
town."
He went out into the wide. white
washed, high-ceiled corridor, and
from that into an immense room
which. but for pool tables, bar and
benches, would have been like a
courtyard. Bare-legged. sandal-footed
Mexicans in white rubbed shoulders
with MexIcnns mantled In black and
red. There were black-hearded,
coarse-visaged Americans, some gam
bling round the little tables, Others
drinking. There were khaki-clad cav.
slrymen strutting in ana out.
At one end OF the room. somewhat
apart from the general melee. was a
group % ak men round Z little table,
tcur ef wsSm were ssared. the other
t,ks standing. Thsse Iast tws drew

 Fight.

Highlands, N. J., Oct. S.-The home of William Jennings. borough coun- sel of Atlantic Highlands, was visited yesterday by prohibition agents who took from the cellar 239 cases of al- legged liquor, it was learned today. Mir. Jennings declared he did not know how the liquor got there.
 It also became known that an all most equal quantity of alleged liquor was seized by enforcement agents at the Florence Inn.
 After yesterdays sudden raid upon the North Jersey coast in which boot leggcrs ashore and rum runners at sea suffered alike, the highjackers, those who prey upon bootleggers, de- cided it was the psychological mo- ment to start their activities.
 A pistol battle between highjackers and a bootlegger was waged in the early morning hours near an old homestead recently bought by the bootleggers for use as storehouse. It was understood the raid had made the bootlegger apprehensive and sought to remove his stock under cover of night.
 A man who gave the name of An drew Richards was taken to a hos pital with three bullet wounds, one in the wrist and two in his leg, after the affray It could not be learned whether the highiackers were suc- cessful in getting the bootleggers supply.

PARENTS DAY AT THE
BOONE PUBLIC SCHOOL

The teachers and the administra-
tlon of the public school are very anx-
ious that the parents visit the school
to see what is being done. They think
that, as parents, you owe it to your
children to manifest a keen interest
in the educational efforts in their be-
half. There is a strong tendency at
present to shift the entire response
oility of child training on the school.
This is unfortunate. There should be
the keenest type of cooperation be-'
tween the home and the school. To
encourage this cooperation and a pa
rental interest in school life, the tea
chers are setting aside one day next
week as parents day." The children
will notify you of the exact date in
due time. The work on that day will
not be out of the ordinary but will
be typical of what is done every day.
This, they feel, is what you should
see. Please make an effort to be pres
ent some time during the school day.

church at Burlington is much larger

and the whole body of christendom
might dwell together in fraternal

of $4,000 to provide for the funds
to take care of this deficit in the spe-

not represent excessive expenditures
of revenues for the current year Of
1921, and tn special session recogniz-

but directed that it be funded by the
