mountains and the growl of a from
tier-guard; a bridge, all white in
the moonshine, and then the glare of
my headlights fading before the
dawn-these things make up the
nightmare through which l drove,
with Winter asleep beside me
against his will.
I know that at ten the next morn
ing we came to Basic, and, because
could go no further, drove to the
old hotel at which had lain for two
nights three weeks before.
From there wrote to my darling
"a hating, pitiful note, in which I
tried to make out how rich we must
always be, because we had picked
our flower when it was in full flush,
so that now it could never wither or
run to seed.
That evening we left for Stras-
bourg, and, after driving all night,
embarked at Calais for Dover the
following afternoon.
It was as I walked the deck and
saw the cliffs of England taking
their ancient form that it first oc-
Cured to me that when stepped
ashore I should come to the end
of my plans. My one idea had been
to retrace my steps and to put the
sea between me and my hearts de-
sire: but now, in a few minutes
time, I should have achieved this
purpose, and since life had to be
lived, should have to take thought
for the morrow and, plainly, decide
what to do. For moment I knit
ted my brows But either be-
cause was tired or because, to be
honest, did not care what I did,
the effort seemed not worth max
ing, and I let my thoughts fly back
to a slim figure standing alone
in an echoing picture-gallery, full of
the lenient splendor of afternoon
sun.
The steamer had berthed, and l
was standing amidships, watching
my fellow passengers hasten
ashore, when I found a man stand
ing beside me, with a hand to his
hat.
'Mr. Exon, sir?"
He was a commissionaire, and he
had a note in his hand.
"That's right" said I.
He gave me the note at once.
Within was a typewriter sheet.
The Duchess of Whelp presents her
compliments to Mr.. Richard Exon and
begs that, as soon as may be. he will
present himself at Tracery, where he
will hear of something to his advantage
With hammering heart, stared
at the messenger.
"How did you know" I said, "that
I should be coming this way?"
II didn't, sir" he said simply.
There's a man with a note for
you at each of the ports. Every
boat from France has been met for
"a hours"

CHAPTER XII

"No, you don't, SIR" said Winter,
stoutly. II don't care what's in the
wind. I promised her ladyship I'd
make you look after yourself. I
'aven't done nothing so far-because
of the look in your eyes. But now
that's gone, thank Gawd. An if
you won't rest here a day before
startin' blackwell, I've got the
Rolls locked and I'll chuck the keys
into the sea-"
So it came about that nearly four
days went by before, after sleeping
at Innsbruck, I saw the chimneys
of Tracery rising against the blue.
Heavy rain must have fallen the
night before, for woods and pas
lures were green as I had never
seen them, and the countryside was
glancing before the smile of the sun.
All the fragrance of earth and her
fruits was lading the lively air, and
the mountain-tops were making a
mock of distance and hoisting their
lovely detail for all the world to see.
AS twice before, I entered the
wasting courtyard and berthed the
Rolls: but before l was out of the
car, the doors of the mansion were
opened and Parish was descending
the steps
Five minutes later stood before
the Duchess of Whelp.
She was dressed in gray, as usual,
and was sitting at ease in a salon,
the open windows of which gave on
to the moldering splendor of ter
race and park.
AS usual by painting her face, she
had done her best to disfigure her
splendid countenance, and, as usual,
it's noble features and her majestic
air were turning their motley into a
robe of state: on a table, beside her,
lay papers-among them my letter
and the statement which had been
indorsed.
AS the door closed, she looked up:
and after moment or two, she put
out her hand.
l went forward and kissed it at
once.
AS / Strengthened my back, she
spoke.
"Come for your cake, have you?'
Madam, I have obeyed the or
ders you saw fit to send"
She pointed to chair.
"Sit down." l did as she said.
81 was right when l said you had
taken the bit in your teeth: but it
never occurred to me you were 60
ing to bolt"

Editorial

In 1915 the first attempt at pub
fishing school paper was made
| The first edition was called the
sTamarack" and for the % years
| that the "Tamarack" has been in
existence this name has symbolized
the efforts of the pupils and spon-
sors who then and since then have
given their energies to publishing
! a school paper,
It is TO these pupils and to the
first edition OF the "Tamarack'
that this issue of the sTamarack
is dedicated.
The following message was pub
lished in the first "Tamarack" The
years have brought little change
and the message found there is still
the basic idea of our school and
lives in Libby high school today.
And the Larch, with all its fibers.
Shivered in the air of morning,
Touched his forehead with its tassels,
Said, with one long sigh of sorrow,
Take them all, o Hiawatha.
Thus said the stately Tamarack
to Hiawatha in answer to his re-
quest for things with which to bind
his canoe as he was starting out on
his journey of service to make a
pathway for the people
The magnificent forests, which
the lumberman designates as larch,
but which the poet prefers to call
tamarack, are characteristic of the
life of this magnificent Inland EN-
pire. Stately, dignified, purposefuI,
and therefore beautiful-as the tam
arack, so is the life of the rugged
men and women who are developing
the untold resources. of the Great
Northwest There is a poetic in
spiration in the "tamarack," which
helps the lumbermen use the 'slarch"
in the service of men.
With these ideals, we beg leave
to introduce THE Tamarack" to the
people of Libby

Reverend Wood Speaks
To Joint Assembly

Monday afternoon Reverend
Woods appeared before large at
tentive audience composed of the
Junior high and high school groups

Reverend Woods asserted the fact
that all us knew of Abraham Lin
coin and know him to be a great
man, but that not all of US know
about his wonderful life. In all OF
Rev. Woods study of his life he has
never found anything about Abra-
Lham Lincoln that has not been in
