CHAPTER VI
Under Fire

Lee, coming to the waters edge
sought to guess where the old Indian
trail come down. And here again,
startling him for a second time, judi
18th rode up.
She, too, had fresh horse; she too
now carried a rifle across her arm
Bud Lee frowned.
"One of US" he said calmly,
looking her straight in the eyes, sis
going back Which one?''
''Neitherp' she retorted promptly.
She even smiled confidently AT him.
S'For won't. And you won't"
do you need to be told,' he asked
her coolly, that this is no sort Of job
for girl? You'd only be in thesway."
eff you want glittering generalities,' .
she jeered at him, ''then listen to
this: A mans job, first, last, and all
time, Is to be chivalrous to woman
And not bumptious boor!'
With that she spurred by him, TAX
ing the trail which led off to the right
and so under the cliffs and to the
mouth of 4 great, ragged chasm. In
spite OI Ilf5n, GuQ Lee STuu6u dICer
her And, seeing that she was not to
be turned back, he followed.
They left their horses and followed
the old footpath, made their way into
the chasm deeper anu deeper and lit
tie by little climbed upward. The
climb was less difficult than it looked,
and fifteen minutes brought them to
the upland plateau and to the door of
an old cabin, made of logs, set back
in a tiny grove of cedars.
IT haven't been here for a year"
cried the girl, forgetful of the con-
straint which had held them until
now. "It's like getting back home for
the first time! love it,"

'Look!" exclaimed Judith. s'Some
one has been repairing the old cabin !
He's made a bench yonder under the
big tree, too. And he has walled

Ifion at first. Here he spent many
an hour when the time was his for
Iidling: here upon many Sunday,
when work was slack, did he come to
smoke aEs2e, loaf alone, read from the
evw books IN the cabins shelves.

Insect-Eating Plant

An insect-eating plant is the sun
dew, so called because Of shining
sticky substance secreted by glands
in the sunlight like a rare gem, says
the Detroit News. sBy means of the
sticky mess, the sundew attracts and
entangles it's prey. Then the edges
of the leaf curve inward, forming a
sort of stomach into which an. acid
secretion is poured to digest the meal.
The portions which cannot be digested
are later thrown out and the trap is
set for the next victim.
The sundew seems to know when
food is near, for if meat is placed
close to it the plant slowly reaches
out for it. If a portion is placed
within a few inches Of the plant the
leaf will bend toward it until the tiny
hairs enfold the delicacy and the
sticky substance completes the grip.

MAKING GOOD IN
A SMALL TOWN
Real Stories About Real Girls
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
E..FTF.F
60, 1924. Western Newspaper Union.)
TEACHING FOREIGN-BORN
TO SPEAK "AMERICAN"
ATHEN making good means max
ing money, try teaching foreign

MAYHEM making good means max
ing money, try teaching foreign
ers to speak the English language.
Ambitious foreign born men, anxi-
Gus to make good in business; foreign
born mothers, whose children are
growing away from them with the
adoption of new tongue; foreigners
who can't speak word of English
and foreigners who merely want to
improve their speech-all these will
be your prospective pupils.
So says a girl who, after gradua-
ton from college, spent rly year
wondering "what on earth she could
do, since she didn't want , teach in
the public schools, in her home town.
1.-THE fact that there is a large ele-
ment of foreign born people in here
gave me my idea,' she told me. "And
I've made a good income ever since
l started ON my own to give these
people private lessons in English"
Since every small town is part
of the melting pot which is Amer
lea, no matter where a girl lives, she
is almost sure to find good number
Of the foreign born who flock yearly
to our shores. Here are her pupils.
AS for desks, chairs, chalk, black
boards and other customary school
room accessories, she needs none of
these to be "school ma'am" in this
kind of school. The lessons are all
private ones, and may be given at the
pupils own home.
The would-be teacher should adver-
tise for her pupils in the local papers.
To those who answer the advertise
ment, she may say that the charge
for each two-hour lesson Is three dol
lars, and that two week will prob
ably be satisfactory. OF course, she
may vary the price to meet the local
situation She should supply herself
with good text books, and should keep
her advertisement running. If she OBJ
tains, eventually, more pupils than
she can manage, she may then branch
out and hire other teachers to assist
her.
However big her business grows,
she should never give group lessons
instead of private ones, for it is the
element of privacy that will make her
venture a success. The foreigner who
has been backward in learning his
English does not want to display his
ignorance before class. He wants
private lessons. Even If the teacher
should organize class and persuade
him to join, he will, in most cases,
soon drop out.
There are very few towns where
the foreign element in the population
is negligible the girl who does
happen to live in such a town should
go into something else. But for the
girl whose Main Street" has it's for
eign sections, the risk is small, the
possibilities great.

Bv JACKSON GREGORY

Lie down YOURSELF" snapped Ju-
dith. And once more her rifle spoke
with his.
For one instant, framed against the
darkening sky along the cliff edge five
hundred yards away to the right, they
saw q silhouette of man, leaping
from one boulder to another, a man
who looked gigantically big in the I'M
certain light. They fired; he jumped
again and passed out of sight.
SCOT his nerve" grunted Lee as he
pumped lead at the running figure.
AS an answer there came the third
flash, the bullet striking the trail in
front of them. And then the fourth
flash, from a point hundred yards
to the left Of the other.
That's Number Two" muttered
Lee. They've got us in the open,
Judith. Let's beat it back to the
cabin"
i'Tm with you," said Judith, be-
tween shots. tits just foolishness"
.. bang! ~. sticking out here
bang! Il. ''for them to pop us
off," Bang! Bang!
They ran then, Bud slipping in
front of her, his tall body looming
darkly between her and the cliffs
whence the shots came. He slid along
the sharp slope to the plateau, putting
out his arms toward her. And as she
came down, Bud Lee grunted and
cursed under his breath. For there
had been another lash out of the
thickening night, this one from the
refuge toward which they were run
ming. A third man was shooting from
the shelter of the cabin walls. And
Lee had felt singing pain as though
hot iron had scorched its way along
the side of his leg.
sHurt much?' asked Judith quickly.
Without waiting for an answer, she
pumped two shots at the fash by the
cabin.
"No," grunted Lee. "Just scared.
And now what? / want to know
Bud Lee, in the thicker darkness
lying along the edge of the plateau,
sat with his back against the rocks
while he gave swift first aid to his
wound He brought into requisition
the knotted handkerchief from his
throat, bound it tightly around the
calf Of his leg and said lightly to
Judith:
"Just fool scratch, you know. But
I'VE no laundering to dribble out lot
Of blood from it"
Judith made no answer. Lee took
up his rifle and turned to the spot
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-10-02

where she had been standing a mo-
ment ago. She was not there.
"Goner' he grunted, frowning into
the blackness hemming him in. snow,
what do you suppose she's up to-?
| tainted, most likely"
He got up and moved along the low
rock wall, seeking her. A squirt of
| flame from the east corner of the
cabin drew his eyes away from his
search and he pumped three quick
shots in answer.
| Again he sought Judith, calling soft
| ". There was no answer. Once more
came the squirt of flame from the shell
| ter Of the cabin wall. Then fifty
yards off to Lees right, some fifty
yards nearer the cabin, another shot,
The first suspicion that one of the
men from the cliffs had made his way
down to join issue at close quarters,
was gone in clear understanding.
That was the bark of Judith's rifle:
she had slipped away from him with
out an instant's delay and was creep
! ing closer and closer to the cabin.
| "D-n the girl!' cried Lee angrily
"She'll get her fool self killed!'
But as he ran forward to join her,
he realized that she was doing the
right thing-the only thing if they
| did not want to lie out here all night
for the men on the cliffs to pick off
in the morning light. He knew that
she could shoot; it seemed that she
could do everything that was mans
work and which a woman should
know nothing about.
Browning into the night, he thought
that he could make out the dim blur
of Judith's form. The girl was stand
ing erect; shooting, too, for again the
duel of red spurts of flame told where
she and her quarry stood.
Meanwhile Lee ran on, changing his
original purpose, swerving out from
where Judith was moving forward,
turning TO the left, hopeful to come
to close quarters with their assailant
before she could go down under that
sharp rifie-ire or could bring down
the other For certainly, if she kept
on that way, the time would come
when some one would stop hot lead.
Lee shifted his rifle to his left hand,
taking his revolver into his right.
From the cliffs came a shot and he

First Sheet of Paper

1t is said to have been definitely
settled that the first sheet of paper
was made by Ts'ai Lun, a scholarly
but humble resident of China, in the
year 70 A. d. Prior to that, tablets
Of bamboo and a stylus were made
use of, but he believed that some-
thing better could be arrived at and
spent so years in perfecting the
process of making paper. Forty years
after this achievement, he was raised
to regal honors with the title of mar

Basis of Civilization

Let us never forget that the culti-
walton of the earth is the most i'm
portant labor of man. Man may be
civilized in some degree without great
progress in manufactures and with
little commerce with his distant
neighbors. But without the cultiva-
ton of the earth he is, in all coun-
tries, savage. Until he gives up the
chase, and fixes himself in some place,
and seeks a living from the earth, he
is a roaming barbarian. When tillage
begins, other arts follow. The farm
ers, therefore, are the founders OF
civilizatiOn.-Daniel Webster.
