ed before the income of the fan1i-
ly could be improved. It has been
our policy to call in the other
agricultural agencies when their
services were needed toward help
ing a family do a better job of
making living. The families who
have made the most Improvement
in their farms are the ones who
have been carrying out good con-
servation practices. The general
yields on some TIP farms have
been more than doubled in the
last five years.
The Farmers Home Admins
tratlon is not only interested in
the rehabilitation of the farm,
but of the entire family. The old
adage that people are very much
like the soil on which they live,
is eXemplified over and over in
Ashe and Allegheny counties.
The Farm and Home Supervis-
orS who have worked with these
families realize that good soil
produces good food and that in
turn good food produces strong
healthy bodies. This being true,
the first aim of any farm program
should be building up good soil
on which families are to live. On
good soil, good food can be pro-
duced to feed the family livestock,
With good nutrition a family's
health problems become min
imum. Recently the wife of one
Of the Farm Ownership borrow
ers in Ashe county well express
Sed what is meant by human
conservation in relation to soil
conservation. In discussing the
Improvement in the health con-
dition of her seven children, she
said, "Since we bought this farm,
we have better land on which to
produce plenty of milk, butter
and eggs and vegetables. Last
year, with the aid of my pressure
cooker, l canned over one thou
sand quarts of food. We killed
six hogs and beef part of which
I canned. My children did not
miss day from school because
of sickness. They all passed their
grades and my greatest desire is
for them to have at least high
school education"

trailed, O'Rourke of the Mounted
had beSted them. He was still be-
hind, but he caught up many
miles. He expected to cross the
finish line tomorrow. Early. He
suspected some man was ahead,
sent by Macleod, though he did
not enter Kinoceti into his calcu-
lations. He had beaten his own
records.
It was dawn and he was up
and ready. He broke off a tip of
hemlock and examined it. 1t
would not lie. Spring was on the
way. A chinook wind was threat
ening. 1t did not matter, once he
got his man.
But there were other elements
against which he might not fight
as he did against the wind and
the frost and the thaw.
He barely remembered Will
Macleod. He had his description
with him. He had conducted the
preliminary examination on the
murder of Jacques Regnler. He
was out now, as sergeant Of the
| R. c.. M. P. to land the murderer.
And, there was Marion Mac
Leod!
Marion Macleod, in a white
gown as he had danced with her
at Spruce City, visioned her a
thousand times since, saw her
now in the dull smoke of his fail
ing fire. He had dreamed of her,
told himself he was foolish. What
had Mountie to do with sweet
heart?
Yet she had gripped his heart
she gripped it now-and he was
sworn to take her brother, to de-
liver him to a stern and unrelent-
ing justice which believed him
! guilty of murder, according to
! the explicit evidence.
He sized up the immediate
weather and forged on. He did
not pass the spot where Dick
Bvrne had made camp, but slant
ed on a tangent, humoring the
wind but fighting it. He crossed
Elk River, saw the abandoned
cabins of White Rock. There was
smoke coming from the chimneys
of two of them. One was that of
Nipegosis. 1t had been described
to him. The other 80.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1947-08-14

He swung his whip, the lash
cracked as ne Ieaped to the back
of the sled, holding on to the
gesspole. waving an arm in fare
veal. She watched him until he
vanished. Reckless and light
hearted, Will had got himself in
to other troubles before this last
terrible one, but it did not seem
possible ne could have committed
murder. But it was more than
possible he might be convicted
of that crime.
Back in the house she looked at
the unconscious Dick Byrne. ten
derly. She was not at all sure
she loved him. But she liked him.
He had brought through the mes
sage. She saw a scrap of folded
paper that Will had found when
they got his clothes off, and they
had forgotten. She read it now:
Money in my belt belongs to
Alexander Macleod. Five humid
red dollars.
Richard A. Byrne
She did not understand it. She
got the money belt and put it
away. It seemed to back up her
feeling that Will judged his uncle
to hard. But that did not mend
matters.
There was a thousand-dollar re-
ward out for Will. Some one had
betrayed them to the Mounted.
She must handle the trooper
when he came.
She stood there frowning, gaz-
ing at Byrne's wan features. fill
med with a three-days beard. He
st.Ned a little, murmured some
thing. He was coming back to his
senses. She laid a hand on his
forehead. spoke to him soothingly.
Inspiration came to her She
would 60 back to Nipegosis, ask
him to help her. There was no
need to speak of Peace River
Jack, of Kinoceti, as he was cal
led by his Indian name. Buff
Nipegosis would give her what
she wanted, what she knew he
possessed
She closed the, cabin door and
ran fast over the slippery crust
to the Conjuror's house.
Well as Dick Byrne had done.
fast as the cunning Kinoceti had
