until you come.
Kent did not turn for a backward
glance. Like a shadow he was gone
in the night. Kildare had disap-
peared as rapidly. Far across the
valley the same urge for haste had
taken possession of Shorty. He
lashed his tagging team into a gallop
that sent them flying over the re-
naming miles.
And while they hurried, in the
hills above them-unseen and I'M
heard, miles away in places, -Acklin'
men were moving. Their speed was
slow in marked contrast to those be-
low them. But they began to join
hands, and they came on apace. The
gaps in the circle began to fill, The
Bar Circle boys came up. Over on
the north the men from Eloise ar
rived at their appointed destination.
1t was the gathering of the clans,
, The Double A had heard the call.
And at their head rode Acklin, the
Big Boss, the feudal lord.

He heard him drive into the yard
and saw Mercedes get out Of the

Mercedes drew back, as Buck

He's decoyed her there with this.
But what happened to Melody? He
wasn't here when she received this
note, or else she wouldn't have stuck
it up like that. 1t was meant for
him all right! Damn it! If he hadn't
had to go back to the ranch to get
here, I'd a been in time"
His jaws closed with a click. He
wheeled on Kent. with an angry gilt
ter in his eyes. Tuscarora's anxiety
for the girl matched Kildare's.
Lets not waste any more time,
Blaze cried, as he flung himself into
his saddle. Listen, Kent" he went
on. How long will it take you to
get the sheriff."
He may be in Paradise now.

I don't want him hung! This party

mine. 1--we got to stop it some way
Blaze was thinking Of Shorty.
Still Blaze realized as Kent and he
dashed along that if the Big Boss
first. as was most likely, the odds
against being able to play for time
until the sheriff and his posse ar
rived would make the effort almost
hopeless. The cowboy racked ms
brain to invent some game OF cross
purposes by which he could accom-
plisb this seeming impossibility. He
understood fully, too, that even with
the sheriff there it was no certainty
that Bodine would not be hanged. IL
Acklin insisted on going through
with his threat, the law would be
sorely tried to stop him.
They came directly to the place
where the road forked. Blaze was
ahead. He drew up until Kent was
beside him.
'Tll be there fore long; pert and

Great excitement prevailed turnout
Carneys Point and the Borough during
a part of last week when a report was
circulated that Borough Marshal John
G. Sullivan was shot. The farther the
story went, the more times he had
been shot until finally he was in a
Wilmington hospital not expected to
live "a hours.
We are glad to state the story had
no foundation, whatever, and the
officer was not even half shot.
Then on Tuesday a current report
was circulated to the effect that DR..
Davidson, of Fairview, and a former
resident of this place, had suddenly
died at his home. A telephone call
was made to the home of the doctor
and the genial physician that he was
most assuredly not dead nor ever
speechless, but that every day in every
way he was getting better and better
and better. When the reporter vas
asked where such reports emanated
from, his cryptic answer was, "Bar-
ney May know"

STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
By Elmo Scott Uaison
CHIEF BLACK HAWK, THE PA
TRIOT OF THE SACS

NITHEN the Eighty-siXth division
w went overseas in 1913, they
bore on the left shoulder of their uni
forms insignia showing a black hawk
rampant on a shield of red. Thus the
BLACK Hawk Division" carried into
battle once more the emblem Of one of
the greatest fighting men from their
native soil-Chief Back Hawk CMa'-
MISUNDERSTANDING of the Sacs and
Foxes. Illinois pioneers, grandfatherS
of some of these me had called him
Il "blOodthirSty savage" but his own
people looked upon him as a patriot
who defended his country against un-
just aggression.
Black Hawks war in 1882 was
caused by a dispute owe the terms of
a treaty removing the Sacs and Foxes
to a reservation in Iowa. When the
government failed to keep its agree
ment to provide them with corn in
place of the crops they had abandoned
in Illinois. Black Hawk recrOssed the
MiSSiSSippi to steal corn from our
W fields as the old chief said, bit
terly.
Governor Reynolds called out the
militia to repel these 'invaders" and
later federal troops were sent to sub
due the Sacs. After several fierce
battles the Indian resistance was brok-
en- and Black Hawks warriors scat
tered. The chief fled to the Winnie
bagOs for refuge. On August 81, 1888,
he walked into General Streets head
quarters at Prairie du Chen, Wis, to
surrender.
Farewell my nation" said Black
Hawk as he gave himself up. ''Black
Hawk tried to save you and avenge
your wrongs. He drank the blood of

prisoner and his plans stopped. He
can do no more. His sun is setting

He WIS held for two months a prls-

and then was returned to his people in

one of Penns Groves men in the
game with the win or die spirit. Hol-
ton copied the first field goal followed
by Phillips of Glen Nor making one.
Here time out was called by Penns
Grove for Smith, but after a rest he
went back in the game and threw
the next field goal. Brooks, Rems-
berg and Wright played the ball most
all the time by fast passing to HoltOn
or Smith, who made three more be-
fore the half was up.
In the last five minutes of the first
half Remsburg had a fall which
sprained his ankle. AS Penns Grove
had only five men, it was Remsburg
stay in or play with four men, so
Remsburg pluckily played with the
ankle bandaged. The half ended with
Penns Grove ahead 1867.
The second half was fast with many
tries for field goals but with
burg's man from active scrimmage
and had him stay near the basket,
where on several long passes, he made
five field goals, but for every one
he secured Holton or Smith, with
their support, secured one Tor PennS
Grove.
This game was Penns Groves fast
est played. Glen Nor is not to be
considered cripples either, for as any
Penns Grove player will verify, they
earned all they secured. This game
was also the cleanest Penns Grove has
on record this season because they
came through with only three per
sonal fouls while Glen Nor had eight.
Lady luck made up for the i'll luck of
no subs and n player with an ankle
sprained by handing Penns Grove its
first floor with twelve inch extension
baskets that it has had except in
practice, and with these Holton, who
tossed all the fouls, made a record of
9 scores out of y tries. Although
Holton and Smith did all the scoring,
Brooks, Remsburg and Wright well
earned their letters by their fast
work and the efficient support that
they gave the goal tosscrs.

Point auditorium last month and the
cast was unchanged.
As soon as the curtain rose 1t was
noticed that the scenery had been re-
finished to practically a professional
state which the actors turnout played
up to-. The costuming of the ladies'
was we'll in keeping but it was that
of the men which outstood in its
characteristics of appropriateness.
That suit worn by Joseph Crockett, as
"Mr. JONAH" was stylish about the
time as the costumes of the cold
Maids Association" AS for the act
ing, it was of a very finished kind and
evidently realistic enough for the au-
dience to show a good response of
appreciation. This was particularly
so when the hero and heroine "made
up in the last act and gave a loving
scene which was evidently agreeable
to the twittering audience and GER
tainly not disagreeable to those act
ing. Again the audinece smiled when
Mrs. Hildreth had to ask her husband
to forgive her and it was done with
a nature-forgiving hug.
1t was jeremiah jenkins, played by
Joseph Crockett, who gave some in
teresting humor in mimicking. Henry
Jarman, a country lawyer, was well
porarayed by Grant Swartz. After
playing as the lawyer, Mr.. Swartz
later took the part of the policeman,
Hawksley, with completely changed
attire, including another mustache
and beard. Robert Pierce led the
caste in realistic portrayal of the
husband and father, who seemed to
bear all the difficulties brought by
the rest of the family, He acted APP
tiently and pore it all, but did have a
daughter who assisted him and helped
correct the state of things. The
daughters part was well done by Miss
Loretta Burkins. Fred Coomer may
have before acted to show a good
temper but this time seemed to show
that there could not have been a more
heated one.
The play finished about ten thirty
but most all stayed to enjoy the social
occasion made by dance music pro-
vided by Homer Leaps orchestra.
