He plunged through a thicket and
there was Jeemes River. Wading
and swimming, he made the other

made a bend, and just beyond

the shoal and was on the south

Little Dave ventured out in the

He found road after dark and

Play on Your Harp,
Little Davy

Little Dave kept looking at the
slow, half muddy creek where he
was fishing with hook and line.
He knew there would be better
fishing at the Cat Rock or in the
Dutton Hole, so far away. His
eyes moved to the piney woods
and saw far beyond them h e
great poplars and oaks along
Jerrys Branch. The Cap'n at the
State Prison Farm had let little
Dave go a-fishing that afternoon
and it would soon be time for
him to report his return. He
thought of the months ahead; Of
taking orders, of wearing the con
vict's garb. Then his thoughts
flew to the mountains of Dicken-
son; of his wife, of his Pa and
Ma, of his friends and kindred
and all their easy-going ways.
Why, shucks! He could make it,
keeping to the woods, going most
ly by night and keeping the sun
on his left, for he knew his ma
tive hills lay almost directly
west.
The fishing pole was left stick
ing in the sandy bank as his
quick steps split the creek and he
headed into the piney woods on
the other side. The steady trot
went on for half an hour, n d
then the sound he dreaded split
the air, the bloodhound's bay! He
bent to the right, for he knew that
the big river was over that way.
His short, stout legs pumped

the place carefully with leaves.
Four more days and nights he
lived this way, lying up most of
the day and trudging on in the
evening and night. He was weak,
his feet burned, and the gnats
and mosquitoes had made welts
all over his body. Late in the
fifth day, he felt that he couldn't
stand it any longer. Little Dave
stumbled to a cabin on the edge
OF the woods and was met at the
door by a Negro woman. He told
her that he was on his way to the
coal mines in West Virginia to
look for a job, and begged r
food and shelter The colored wo
man gave him corn bread and
beans, heated tub of water for
his bruised feet, and showed him
bed in a lean-to back of the
cabin. He slept as one in paradise
until loud voices brought him
back to this world. He heard the
voice of the Negro woman, BE
quiet! They's a white man asleep
babck there"
Nanny, we wanta see de
white man." another voice said,
and two colored youths tiptoed
to the door of the lean-to. Each
of the boys had a bullying sack
across his shoulder. Their eyes
popped when Little Dave sat up
and spoke to them. They accept
ed him as simply as their mother
had done. The sacks were filled
with grub, from which the moth
err cooked a meal that was a feast
to the wayworn man, and they all
ate in fellowship together. When
they had eaten, Little Dave told
them such wondrous tales as
travellers have told since Ulysses
came home from Troy.
When they got up from the
table one of the colored boys took
a banjo from the wall and made
it ring with melodies that set
Dawes poor feet to moving.
white Man, can you pick a ban
io?" one of the youths asked.
Little Dave took the banjo and
drew signs from the Negros when
he played and sang big Jawn
Henry. They swayed to t h e
strains of "Sourwood Mountain"
and went into a wild dance at the
lit of "ChinqCapin Huntin'' It
was late when the frolic ended,
for they would hardly let Little
Dave lay the banjo down.
They stuffed a poke with food
for him next morning and gave
him directions how to find "big
road" few miles ahead. He ap-
peared to listen with great care,
but he had no intention of 60
ing by the 'big road" They even
wanted to show him the way but
he was sure, he said, that he
could find it. He set out, after
thanks and farewells, on the long
tramp again.
Living on apples and young
corn, he made his way over the
red soil of the Piedmont, across
the Blue Ridge, and over the high
slopes beyond. Without knowing
he was in another state, Dave
skirted through the southern part
of West Virginia. Fourteen days
after he left the Negro cabin, the
sore and limping man began to
feel that he knew the stream he
was travelling down. He saw an
old sawmill place and was sure
he had worked there once. He
felt as if he had walked up in an
other world. He knew he was on
Slate Creek, n Buchanan County.
That night he crossed over
Chicken Ridge to dodge the half
dozen houses at cross roads

the request that we put the cpl

to do.
Dave Fleming was sentenced
70 the penitentiary from Dcken-
son County late in the year of
1897. He left the state farm and
after travelling on foot 81 days,
reached his home. He went to
Mingo County, West Virginia, to
look for work and while in Will
Hanson, was recognized and in
formed on by an acquaintance
from Wise County. He was taken
back to the penitentiary, where
he received only 80 days extra
time for his escape. Dave was kill
ed by one of his wife's relatives
near Pound in Dec, 1920.
Another Dickinson County
character, Jeems Bryant, escaped
from the Virginia Penitentiary
years ago. He finally got back to
Shelby Gap, KY, where he lived
a quiet life for the rest of his
days.

Railway Electric Signal


Thomas Edison invented the bat

electric semaphore signal ever used
on an American railroad. He

awkward, staddly birds. comical in
their expressions and attitudes.
Add Years to Life
Proper oiling of electric motors
will add years to their lives. Now
is a good time to make a check on
the alignment Of the bolts and to
clean dirt and dust away from the
ventilation holes Of the motor. II
you don't have a delayed-action
fuse to protect the motor against
overloads, it might be a good idea
to install one. All in all. a motor
checkup right now may save you
hours of time and trouble later on.
Injection without Needles
Using the principle of oil cylinder
sprays, which inject a needlelike
spray, University Of Maryland

body without use Of needles Of any
kind. Medicinal preparations, by
this new method, inject the dose in
deeper than the conventional needle
method, and it hurts less, special

second only to corn in economic i'm

this country and is grown in nearly
all Of the 48 states. 1t is the farm
ers' chief cash crop over very large
areas and its culture is mechanical

With Grain of Salt

Not so many years ago salt was
used in payment of a fine in central
Africa. When a murder was COM

community in which the murderer
lived was responsible for paying the

lage went around on an appointed
day and collected from each Of his
subjects two cupped handfuls of
salt. This was pooled to form pay
ment for the life taken.

year. This order constituted the
