The English have the credit for being
q conservative race-a breed in which
respect for traditions is SO strong that
they hesitate to change anything which
has behind it the merits of antiquity
and established comfort. The story
which follOws-it may or may not be
true-would tend to Indicate THAI this
trait really does persist in our Anglo
Saxon cousins
The tale, as it was told to me, had 1t
that through the fields between two
villages in Sussex ran footpath. 1t
was not the quickest route for one go
ing from one of the hamlets to the
other, for it wandered about, but it had
been traced originally by the horny,
naked feet Of Saxon serfs, and now
was worn deep into the turf by the
heels of countless generations. Every
body in the neighborhood used it, be-
cause everybody always had.
A country gentleman lived midway
between the towns. He led q reason
ably quiet, not to say dull, existence.
One day he heard a vicious bull was
straying about the countryside, chas-
Ing pedestrians, frightening children
and generally misbehaving himself.
Seeking for variety from the monot-
ony of his life, the gentleman went
forth in the afternoon hoping to glimpse
the bull. For four afternoons he
sought to discover the whereabouts of
the marauder, but with no luck.
On the fifth evening he fingered
afield until nearly dusk. He had
reached stile where a hedge crossed
the footpath when he heard in the dis
lance, through the thickening gloom,
the patter Of flying feet, mingled with
the thud of heavy hoofs, a convulsive
painting and the Snorts of some large
animal.
Into sight came the local postman, an
elderly person. He was logging along
at top speed, his mail pouch bouncing
on his hip, his whiskers neatly parted
by the wind and blowing backward
over his shoulder, and just behind him
came the bull, lunging with his horns
at the seat of the fugitive's trousers.
BY half a length the fleeing man
reached the hedge ahead of his pur-
suer. He flung himself headlong over
the stile and in its protection lay
breathless, while the bull, believing his
disappointment, strolled off to seek an
easier victim.
The spectator aided the quivering
postman to his feet.
He almost had you tonight, Fletch-
err" said the gentleman, sympa-
thetically.
les almost 'ad me every night this
week, sir" gasped Fletcher.

Curing the Great Thirst

In the old days there was philan-
thropic Tennessee distiller who be-
lieved in spreading sunshine wherever
he could. One Christmas he sent a
gift Of prime whisky to an ilnprovident
acquaintance who lived from hand to
mouth in a cabin up in the hills.
Along toward the end of January the
beneficiary dropped in on him and in
timated that If his friend was SO in
clined he could use a little more liquor.
aren't you rather overriding things,
Zach?" inquired the distiller. IF my
memory serves me rightly, it has been
less than five weeks since gave you a
whole keg."
''Well, colonel" explained the mendi-
cant, "you got to remember that a
kag of Ticker don't last very long in a
family that can't afford to keep a
cow"

CHAPTER XVIII
Lee Is Given a Powerful
Tool

1t was dawn in the gorge when Lee
opened his eyes. At first his memo
ries were confused so that he could
carry them no further forward than
the moment when he turned away
from the log house, leaving Joyce
with Railway.
He had meant to kill him then-and
here he must have fallen asleep in
the forest, for it was daylight. And
joyce had been all night in Rath-
ways power
Murder filled his heart; and again
everything else was blotted out of his
mind but the insensate desire TO Stay,
a primal instinct that swamped every
other part Of the mans being.
He started up. But-this was not
the forest He was amazed to see
the walls of the gorge on either side
of him, dwindling away in the dis
stance into open country, with vista
of trees beyond, and splashes of sun
shine, interspersed with long waves
of shadow, showing that the sun had
already risen.
Almost Immediately beneath the
ledge on which he lay was cataract,
but not deep-a roaring stream of
water rushing among the rocks.
And not far away was old Leboeuf,
pIacidly frying bacon in a skillet over
a wood fire.
Then all the events of the night
flashed into Lees mind. He uttered
a cry, got on his legs.
sIeboeufr ~
At Lees cry the old Indian turned
and came toward him, the skillet ia
his hand.
"MonsieurY
eve must go back. Joyce" And
he began to tell the old man of the
events of the night, that Joyce and
he were married-but it was all inco-
berent, and he was not sure that he
succeeded in making Leboeuf under
stand.

The Custom of the Country

| can remember when, in one of the
mountain counties of Kentucky, there
was only one sewing machine and not
a single cooking stove. Things have
changed there since. The railroads,
bringing with them civilization and it's
by-products, have crept up through the
gaps; the feuds have died out; school
houses have sprung up; there are live
newspapers, colleges even, and modern
systems of living.
But these things mark the transit
lions of recent years. 1t is not SO very
long ago that life was primitive. They
used to tell story to illustrate how
primitive things actually were. 1t may
not have been true. Probably it wasn't,
but at any rate it was an illustration,
even though an exaggerated one, Of a
prevalent condition.
There was narrow-gauge, jerk-wa-
ter road which skirted through the
knobs about the feet of the mountains.
One day the train-there was only one
train day. each way-was laboring

all baying merrily. Behind the dogs
followed men, on horseback and mule

ing the hunt on with shrill whoops and
blasts from horn. The troupe had
vanished into the deep timber bordering
the right-of-way when Northern man,
riding in the shabby day coach, adj

Northerner.

spite of his great strength, the weight
was terrific. He reconciled himself
to his labors, however, by the refec-
ton that the bag contained fortune.
Then, returning to Joyce, he carried
her to the bag and set her down be-
side it.
1t was fortunate for him that Joyce
remained unconscious, or he would
have been impossibly handicapped in
his maneuvers. Cursing and strug-

which Lee had so indiscreetly pointed

Then arose the most difficult prob

would have to be left on the upper
side of the tunnel while he went back

He was not convinced in his mind
that his aides had not followed him.
