CHAPTER XIV

With a cry of rage that resembled
the snarl of an angry beast, Fabien
leaped across the threshold and
hurled himself bodily through the
air straight at the hated countenance
that doomed above Manon's FRUSTRATED
body.
Terror stricken, Synnelet fled and
fear gave him speed enough to slip
through another door leading into an
other cabin. He just had time to
shoot the bolt home as Fabien crashed
against it and beat furiously but
vainly with his fists in an effort to
get in.
The commotion and sudden intru-
sion seemed to arouse Manon from her
death like trance. She opened hei
eyes and saw-not Synnelet but Fa-
bienl Across her face, Transforming
it, swept an overpowering emotion of
love and with a cry of joy she rose
to her feet and rushed into her lovers
arms,
The joy Of possession, the safety
and nearness Of the one he loved bet
ter than life itself served to calm
Fabien as nothing else could have
done. Pausing long enough to hold
Manon close to him-to pass one
long, lingering kiss on her lips, he
forced himself from her embrace.
81 must go and see what is best for
us to do. There is mutiny aboard,
but don't fear! | will return. Lock
yourself in until | come for YOU
AS Fabien cautiously let himself
out, Manon bolted the lock securely
behind him, then she pushed every
thing that she could move against
the door that Synnelet had used a
few moments before. There was
nothing else she could do, except wait
for Fabien's return and pray for his
safety.

SENIOR PLAY MEETS
WITH BIG APPROVAL

"a Lucky Break" the annual senior
play, which was presented to a full
house last Friday, was pronounced a
success by the public.
The scenes Of the play are laid in
Hotel Mullet in Matasquam, Conn.,,
and the action revolves around John
Bruce and Nora Mullet. John Bruce
comes to his home town to buy some
property. Through series of mis-
understandings, the people believe he
is ruined when an oil company goes
broke
This situation continues for few
DAYS. The hotel guests and several
of the townspeople aid John in one
wav or another. During this time
John has fallen in love with Nora and
she with him, although he believes
she loves Tommy Lansing.
Finally. everything is Strengthened.
Benny Ketcham becomes a super
salesman; Tommy and Claudia elope;
Elmine Ludne is started on her new
career, and John wins Nora.
Miss Dagny Hassell, who directed
the play, deserves much praise for
her work in producing it.

any impression. 1t was hopeless. He
was unequal to the task. With a
groan of despair he descended into
the hold, fell back on the floor and
buried his head in his hands.
The haunting laughs of the convicts,
their bits of sarcastic advice, caused
the germ of an idea to form itself in
Fabien's maddened brain. 1t might
be possible. At least it seemed to
present the only hope of escape.
Swiftly he rose to his feet and stand
ing in the midst of the chained men
looked at them calmly, yet with a
tenseness that for moment surprised
them. He could afford to make no
mistakes. Some if the men returned
his gaze curiously, some of them
openly Knocked him while others were
utterly Indifferent.
you were once men," shouted Fa-
bien in derision glancing around to
be sure that he had caught their at
tention, "and they have made animals
of you'll In the early morning we will
land-you will be chained to the pillow
and the millwheel-you will be beasts
-driven-driven before the lash until
you die!"
Fabien directed his TRADE to one
huge man in particular. He was
veritable giant with hairy arms and
chest and animal-like features. Into
his half dead eyes came a sudden
CLEAN. Fascinated he listened at
tentively.
Fabien noticed this interest and be-
came a perfect dynamo of energy.
Moving closed he said craftily, "there
is a way of escape-you outnumber
the crew two to one-get out of here
take command of the ship and turn
back to the high seas where all the
gold of commerce can be yours for
the taking"
Frowningly, the giant turned this

the final gates that held them from
their goal
The very frenzy into which the
convicts had worked themselves adj
ded tremendous strength to their eff
forts. Finally the hatch began to
give. With roar of triumph the
men redoubled their efforts. A final
snap and the metal doors parted, and
clattered back on the deck. The
giants head and shoulders appeared
first. AS soon as he gained the deck
the others followed, madly shouting
to each other incoherent bits about
taking possession of the ship.
Through this writing, fighting
mass of humanity, Fabien fought his
way upward and outward. He sud-
denly realized that the mutiny he had
melted was about to cause unlocked
for trouble. Manon was not safe with
all the convicts at large. He must
find her at once.
The outbreak was complete sur
prise and the ships crew was caught
at cruel disadvantage. Vainly the
captain and the governor tried to or
ganize them into semblance of re-
sistance. But the onset was too sud
den, too unexpected and the convicts
so far outnumbered the sailors that
the result was inevitable. Backed
as it was with the fury of madmen
the half naked demons rushed down
the deck. Here and there the battle
broke away into hand-to-hand con-
flicts as one doughty man met an
other.
The giant was the spirit of the at
tack. If one of the ships crew got
in his way he picked up the unfor-
tunate sailor and hurled him bodily
over the rail into the sea.
Almost crazed with anxiety, Fabien
finally succeeded in sidestepping the
melee. With a shudder he turned his
back on the fighting and ruthless
killing going on about deck and made
his way to the cabin door where he
had last seen Manon. 1t was locked
but he wrenched it open and his face
TUNED liVid as he saw her lying help
less across the couch with Synnelet
bending over looking toward the door
as if suddenly disturbed by the COM
motion going on outside.

EDITORIAL
UNDERCLASS MEN TO CARRY
ON IN 1929

The interclass track meet in Red
Lodge and the county meet at Belfry
brought out the fact that Carbon high
has a good chance of repeating next
year at the county meet. A large
number of freshmen, sophomores and
Juniors have shown a great deal of
ability. OF course, many sure-point
getters will graduate this year, but it
is rather interesting to note that some
of our point getters at Belfry were
freshmen and sophomores. The team
next year ought to be one of the best
in the county.

thought over in his mind while Fabien
went from one man to another, talk
ing to them, urging them to mutiny.
Then he returned to the giant-his
best ally. Bending over him, Fabien
ratified the chain that held him pris-
oner and said contemptuously, shave
you grown fond Of these chains-or
are they too strong for you to break"
With snarl of rage the giant
lurched to his feet. For a moment he
held his breath and gropingly found
a firm support for his feet, then he
twisted the chains around his wrists,
took a strong hold with each enor-
nous hand and heayed his huge shout
ders forward. Like whip cords the
veins stood out on his forehead. His
face turned purple with the gigantic
effort he was putting forth. Back of
him he felt the chains begin to give
and suddenly he shot forward half
way across the hold! The chains had
parted! With yell Of triumph he
staggered to his feet, the dangling
links changed threateningly as he held
his huge hands above his head for all
tn see.
With Fabien urging him on the
huge bulk of man went from one
prisoner to another and adding his
strength to theirs tugged and pulled
at the chains until all the convicts
were free.
This sudden release inflamed them
like animals gone mad. They milled
about like cattle at the beginning of
a stampede, just before that awful
rush that is followed by devastation
and death.
Fabien dominated their will during
that first few moments of liberty.
They followed his example and
swarmed up the iron bars like mon
keys. From all sides the crazed men
used their combined strength to burst

charge of the English | classes. The
students each have triangular piece

mistake any of their classmates puts
check on the cardboard. The checks
will be counted at the end of the week

AG. CLASSES PRUNE
TREES-PLANT GRAIN

The first field trip of the year was
taken by the boys Of the crops and
soils division of the agricultural class
last Wednesday when they went to
Belfry and pruned an orchard. For
week previous to this trip the class
had been studying the principals of
pruning trees.
Practical experience in the orchard
of Mr. Ogden seemed to clear up the
few misunderstood facts.
On Friday of last week the first
year class made trip to that part of
the county but with quite different
purpose. Under the direction of F. I.
Peterson, agriculture instructor, they
planted part of an experimental plot
on Lee Cards farma This plot is
similar to the one carried on up at the
county farm last year. So far the
class have sown the following var
ieties of wheat: Marcus, Supreme
Red Bobs and Garnet. When finished
the plot will contain three-fourths of
an acre. Grains alone will occupy
the grounds; barley, wheat and oats
prevailing.
The number of boys carrying prof.
ects in the county has increased from
sc last year to "a this year. The
number from the different districts
is as follows: Joliet, 9; Edgar, 9;
Bridger, 1; Belfry, 8; Roberts, 4, and
Red Lodge, 80. Most of the projects
tend toward the raising of sheep and
hogs.

his shoulders nonchalantly and walked
away without interfering. 1t was no
longer his affair. He had done his
part, besides was he not young once,
himself, and the hot blood of youth
must be served.
Wildly and more fiercely Manon
continued her struggle to escape
from Synnelet, but with each effort
her strength weakened. Her gown
was torn and her gorgeous golden
curls, sadly disheveled, were spread
about her half naked shoulders like a
golden halo of sunshine.
The nearness of Manon had aroused
a passion within Synnelet that was
fast getting beyond his desire to con-
troll. He had played with his beauti-
full new top just as long as he could.
Suddenly he seized her, brushed aside
her arms and crushing her to him,
kissed her madly.
Vainly Manon worked to free her.
self Synnelet's burning kisses COW
cred her neck and shoulders. His hard
labored breathing fairly smothered
her as she strove to turn her head
away so that he could not find her
lips. Then she felt herself lifted,
bodily, in his hateful arms and car
ried across the cabin. Vaguely she
sensed the easing of her body upon
the couch and saw Synnelet's face
strangely grotesque, as he leaned
over her. Through mist of tears
his countenance seemed to become
more and more indistinct. Shortly
it disappeared entirely and Manon

knew no more. She had tainted.


WITH the return o. consciousness,
Fabien sat up. His clothes were torn
and his face and hands were covered
with blood. He had not been stunned
for very long because overhead he
saw the sailors securely battening
down the hatch cover through which
he had been dropped.
1t was a dark, gloomy hold into
which he had been thrown, literally
sinking with sweat and filth. Above
the dim rays of ships lantern sent
down faint light that enabled him
to discern the convicts, scores of them,
chained like animals to stanchions in
the ships beams.
They stared at him curiously. His
sudden advent in their midst had
aroused them, for moment, from
their apathy of despair into which
days of confinement i'm their foul
quarters had cast them. One or two
of the men laughed meaningless
laughs inspired by crazed minds.
Still in half daze Fabien gazed
around and became conscious of their
curiousity, their hooking voices and
the clang of their chains. It all tend
ed to bring back swift remembrance
of his fate. Like a mailman he
lurched to his feet and climbed up
the iron grating to the locked hatch
above where he pounded, vainly. It
was useless. His bruised hands were
but puny instruments for the giant
task. Even his shoulders pressed
with all his strength failed to make

DR.. KOEHN TALKS ON
SUMMER TRAINING

Last week, DR.. Koehn, during an
assembly after school, gave the high
school boys some pointers ON the
Citizens Military Training camp at
Missoula. He urged them to apply
as soon as possible for fear that they
would later be unable to do so if the
quota for Carbon county was cut.
