THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURO. PA. The Call of the Cumberlands By Charles Neville Buck With Illustrations from Photographs of Scenes in the Play (Copyright, tcij. br W. J. Watt to.) U CHAPTER XVI Continued. Then, again,-silence settled on the town, to remain for five minutes un brokon. The sun glared mercilessly on clay streets, now as empty as a ce n etery. A single horno incautiously hitched at the side of the courthouse witched its tall Agnitist the assaults of the Bics. Otherwise, there was no outward sign of life. Then. CallomVs newly organized force of ragamuffin sol diers clattered down the street at double time. For a moment or two after they came Into sight only the massed uniforms caught the eyes of the intrenched Hollmans, and an alarmed murmur broke from the court bouse. They had seen no troops de train, or pitch camp. These men had sprung from the earth as startlingly as Jason's crop of dragon's teeth. Hut. when the command rounded tho shoul der of a protecting wall to await fur ther orders, the ragged stride of their marching and thj all-too-obvlous beam ing of the mountaineer proclaimed thera native amateurs. The murmur turned to a howl of derision and chal lenge. They were nothing more nor less than Souths, masquerading In the uniforms of soldiers. "What orders?" Inquired Callomb briefly. Joining Samson ' the store. "Demand surrender once more then take the courthouse and Ja.I " w as the short reply. Callomb himself went forward with the flag of truce. He shouted his mes sage and a bearded man came to the courthouse door. "Tell 'em," he said without redun dancy, "thet we're ull here. Come an' git us." The officer went back ar.d distribut ed his forces under such cover as of fered Itself about the four walls. Then volley was fired over the I jof and In stantly the two buildings In the public square awoke tc a volcanic response of rifle fire. All day the duel bet ween the struts and county buildings went on with desultory intervals of quiet and wild outbursts of muiketry. The troops were firing as sharpshooters, and the courthouse, too, had Its sharpshooters When a head showed itself at a barri caded window, a report from the out side greeted It. Samson was every where, bis rifle smoking and hot-barreled. Ills life seemed protected by a talisman. Yet most of the firing, after the first hour, was from within. The troops were, except for occasional pot hots, holding their fire. There was jicllher food nor water inslda the build- It "We Lays Down." lng, nnd at last night closed and the cordon grew tighter to prevent escape. The Hollmans, like ruts lr a trap, grimly held on, realizing that It was to be a Blece. On the following morning a detachment of "F" company arrived, drugging two gatling guns. The Holl mans saw them detraining, from their lookout In the courthouse cupola, and. realizing that the end bad comn, re solved upon a desperate sortie. Simul taneously every door and lower win dow of the courthouse hurst open to discharge a frenzied rush of men, fir ing as they came. They meant to fl;lit their way out and leave as many hos tile dead as possible, in their wake Their one chance now was to scatter before the machine guns came Into ac tion. They came like a flood of hu man lava and their guns were never silent, as they bore down on the barri cades, where the single outnumbered WORKING IN OCEAN'S DEPTHS Most Remarkable Divers Are ths Pearl Fishers of Torres, Who Wcrk With Simple Equipment The greatest depth recorded of work done by a diver In a suit Is 12 feet; this depth was reached by the Spanish rtiver. Angel Krostarbe, who recovered S 15,000 In sliver ingots from the wreck of the steamship Skyro o.'f Cape Finlstcrre. The spoime divers of the Mediterranean work at a maxi mum of 150 feet, and the Australian pearlers at 120 feet. The greatest depths reached by divers without ap paratus were by the pearl fishers of Torres, mostly Malayans from the smaller Islands. They go down with the sid of a stone aud a loop In the rope thereto attached which they clutch with their toes, these organs being far more prehensile than in races normally shod. They seldom venture to descend below 60 feet, a depth at which they can remain for two minutes. Tb stone enables them to remain at the bottom while they are sweeping the pearl oysters Into company seemed Insufficient to hold them. Rut the new militiamen, look lng for reassurance not so much to Callomb as to the granite-like face of Samson South, rallied and rose with a yoll to meet them on bayonet and smoking muzzle. The rush wavered, fell back, desperately rallied, then broke In scattered remnants for the Bhelter of the building. Old Jake Hollman fell near the door, and his grandson, rushing out, picked up his fullon rifle and sent farewell defiance from It as he, too, threw up both arms and dropped. Then a white flag wavered at a win dow and, as the newly arrived troops baited In the ctreet, the noise died sud denly to quiet. Samson went out to meet a man who opened the door and said shortly: "We lays down." Judge Hollman, who had not parti -1-paled, turned from the slit In his shut tered window, through which he had since the beginning been watching the conflict. . "That em'.s It!" he said, with a de spairing shrug of his shoulders. He picked up a magazlno pistol which lay on his table and, carefully counting down his chest to the fifth rib. placed the muzzle against his breast. CHAPTER XVll. Hefore the mountain roads were mired with the coming of the rains, and while the air held Its sparkle of autumnal zestfulness, Samson South wrote to Wilford Horton that If he still meant to come to the hills for his Inspection of coal : nd timber the time was ripo. Soon men would appear bearing transit and chain, drawing a lino which a railroad was to follow to Misery and across It to the heart of untouched forests and coal-fields. With that wave of Innovation would come the speculators, liesides, Samson's fingers were Itching to be out In tho hills with a palette and sheaf of brushes in the society of George Les cott For a while after the battle at Hixon the county had lal: In a torpid paraly sis of dread. Many fllllerate feudists on each side "emombered the directing and exposed figure of Samson South seen through eddies of gun cmoke. and believed hiru Immune from death. With Purvy diad rid Hollman the vic tim of his own hand, the backbone of the murder syndicate was broken. Its heart had ceased to beat. Those Holl man survivors who bore the potentiali ties for leadership had not only signed pledges of peace, but were afraid to break them; and the triumphant Souths, Instead of vaunting their vic tory, had subscribed to the doctrine of order and declared the war over. Souths who broke the law were as speedily arrested as Hollmans. Their boys were drilling as militiamen and wonder of wonders! Inviting the sons of the enemy to join them. Of course, these things changed gradual ly, but the beginnings of them were most noticeable In the first few months, Just as a newly painted and renovated house Is more conspicuous than one that bas long been respecta ble. tollman's Mammoth Department Store passed into new hands, and traf fl ked only In merchandise, and the town was open to the men and women of Misery as well is those of Cripple shin. These things Pamson haJ explained In his letters lo the Lescotts and Hor ton. Men from down below could still find trouble In tho wink of an eye, by seeking it, for under all transformation the mituro " )le individual remained mur-h the same; but, without seeking to give offense, they could ride as se curely through the hills as through the streets of a policed city and meet a readier hospitality. And, when these things were dis cussed and the two men prepared to cross the Masonand Dixon line and visit the Cumberlands, Adrienr.3 promptly and definitely announced that she would accompany her brother. No argument was effective to dissuade her, and after all, Lcseott, who had been there, saw no good reason why she should not go with him. At Hixon, they found that receptive air of ferenlt- which made the history of less than three months ago seem paradoxical and fantastically unreal. Only about the courthouse square where numerous small holes In frame walls told of fusillades, and In the in terior of the building itself where the woodwork was siarred and torn, and tlte plaster freshly patched, did they find grimly reminiscent evidence. Samson had not met them at the town, because he wished their first Im pressions of his people to reach them uninfluenced by his escort. It was a form of the mountain pride an hon est resolve to soften nothing, and make no apologies. But they found arrange ments made for horses and saddlebags, and the girl discovered that for her had b"en provided a mount as evenly galted as any In her own stable. When she and her two companions came out to the hotel porch to Btart, they found-a guide waiting, who said he was Instructed to take them as far as the ridge, where the sheriff himself would be waiting, and the cavalcade a basket attached to the stono. When the diver feels that he must come up to breathe he releases his toes from the becket In the rope and at once floats to the surface. Young nnd healthy Malayan divers working oys ter beds below six fathoms make four descents an hour during four hours in the morning and the same during four hours In the afternoon following a four hour rest. A civilized man at a depth of 42 feet finds such a dive in tolerable after a single minute. Practical Trade School Idea. London bus elaborated the trade school Idea to Include the work of out fitting women with an equipment to face life's struggle. In the six trade schools of London, four of whic h are under the direct control of the London county council, and two of which are connected with the polytechnic Insti tutions, aided by grants from the Lon don county council, various trades of the traditional feminist classes, such as dressmaking, ladles' tailoring, cor set making, millinery, embroidery, waistcoat making, cooking, laundry work and upholstery, aro being taught. struck luto the bills. Men at whose bouses they paused to ask a dipper of water, or to make an Inquiry, gravely advised that tbey "bad better 'light and stay all night." In the coloring for ests, squirrels scampered and scurried out of sight, and here and there on the tall slopes they saw shy-looking chil dren regarding them with Inquisitive eyes. The guide led them silently, gazing In frank amazement, though with defer ential politeness, at this girl In cord uroys, w ho rode cross-saddle, and rode so well. Yet, it was evident that he would have preferred talking had not diffidence restrained him. He was a young man and rather handsome In a shaggy, unkempt way. Across one cheek ran a long scar still red, and tho girl, looking Into his clear, Intelli gent eyes, wondered what that scar stood for. Adrlenne bad the power of melting masculine diffidence, and her smile as she rode at bis side, and asked, "What Is your namet" brought an answering smile to bis grim lips. "Joe Hollman, ma'am," ha answered; and the girl gave an Involuntary Btart. The two men who caught the name closed up the gap between the horses, with suddenly piqued Interest "Hollman!" exclaimed the girl. "Then, you" She stopped and flushed. "1 beg your pardon," she said, quickly. "That's all right," reassured the man. "I know what ye're a thlnkln', but I hain't takln' no offense. The high sheriff sent me over. I'm one of his deputies." "Wero you" she paused, and added rather timidly "were you in the court house?" He uodi'ed. and with a brown fore finger traced the scar on his cheek. "SaniBon South done that thar with his rifle-gun." he enlightened. "He's a funny sort of feller, Is Samson South." "How?" she asked. '"Wall, he licked us, an' licked us so plumb damn hard we was skeered ter fight ag'in, an' then, 'stld of tramplin" on us, he turned right "round, an' made me a deputy. My brother's a corporal In this hyar new-fangled mi lisby. I reckon this time the peace Is goin' ter last. Hit's a mighty funny way ter act, but 'pears like It works all right." Then, at the ridge, the girl's heart gave a sudden bound, for there at the highest point, where the road went up and dipped asaln. waited the mounted figure of Samson South, and. as they came into sight, he waved his felt hat and rode down to meet them. "(reetings!" he shouted. Then, as he leaned over and took Adrienne's hand, he added: "The Goops send you their welcome." Hi3 smile was un changed, but the girl noted that bis heir had again grown long. Finally, as the sun was setting, they reached a roadside cabin, and the mountaineer suld briefly to the other men: "You fellows ride on. I want Dren nie to stop with me a moment We'll Join you liiier." Lescott nodded. He remembered the cabin of the Widow Miller, and Hor ton rode with him, albeit grudgingly. Adritnne eprang lightly to the ground, laughiugly rejecting Samson's assistance, and came with him to the top of a stile, from which he pointed to the log cabin, set back In Its small yard, wherein geese and chickens picked industriously about In the sandy earth. A huge poplar and a great oak nedded to each other at either side of the door, and over the walls a clam bering profusion of honeysuckle vine contended with a mass of wild grape, in Joint effort to hide the white chink ing between the dark logs. From the crude milk-benches to the sweep of the well, every note was one of neat ness and rustic charm. Slowly, he said, looking straight Into her eyes: "This Is Sally's cabin, Drennle." He watched ber expression, and her lips curved up In the same sweetness of smile that had first captivated and helped to mold blm. it's lovely!" she cried, with frank delight. "It's a picture." "Walt!" he commanded. Then, turn ing toward the house, he sent out the long, peculiarly mournful call of the whlppoorwill, and, at the signal, the door o)ened, and on the threshold Adrionne saw a slender figure. She had called the cabin with its shaded dooryard a picture, but now she knew she had been wrong. It was only a bickground. It was the girl herself who made nnd completed the picture. She stood there In the wild simplicity that artists seek vaiuly to reproduce In posed figures. Her red calico dress was patched, but fell in graceful lines to her slim bare ankles, though the first faint frosts had already fallen. Her red-brown hair hung loose and In masses about the oval of a face In which the half-parted lips were dashes of scarlet, and the eyes large violet pools. She stood with her little chin tilted In a half-wild attitude of recow noiter, as a fawn might have stood. One brown arm and hand rested on the door frame, and, as she saw the other woman, she colored adorably. Adrlenne thought she had never seen so instinctively and unaffectedly lovely a face or figure. Then thj girl In addition lo competent teachers theso schools have enlisted In their Interest advisory committees of em ployees of the classes of workwomen being developed by the schools, ono result of which Is that employment at profitable wages awaits the capable students of thse schools. Tho voca tional school idea is spreading and ex tending through the civilized world, with the result that it brightens the prospects of youth and b"arten3 young people with the knowledge that they will enter upon their career with some technical acquaintance with and some manual dexterity In those lines of work lu which the world stands con stantly in need of workers. Sengs cf Fitness. Some women seem to have no idea of the relative value of adjectives or epithets. A golden haired. Huffy thing was locking at a picture of the wounded E.igfith soldiers In a hospital ward. "Don't they look 'dinky' In their cots?" she exclaimed. "Dinky!" they might have, been prize poms Instead of men who hud bled for their country. came down the steps and ran toward them. "Drennle," said the man, "this Is Sally. I want you two to love each other." For an instant, Adrlenne Les cott stood looking at the mountain girl, and then she opened both her arme. "Sally," she cried, ''you adorable child, I do love you!" The girl In the calico dress raised ber face, and ber eyes were glistening. "I'm obleeged ter ye," she faltered. Then, with open and wondering ad miration she stood gazing at the first "fine lady" upon whom ber glance bad ever fallen. Samson went over and took Sally's hand. "Drennle," be said, softly, "Is there anything the matter with her?" Adrlenne Lescott shook her head. "I understand," she said. "I sent the others on," be went on quietly, "because I-wanted that first we three should meet alone. George and Wilfred are going to stop at my uncle's house, but, unless you'd rather have It otherwise. Sally wants you here." "Do I stop now?" the girl asked. Hut the man shook bis bead. "I want you to meet my other people first." As they rode at a walk along the lit tle fell red of road left to them, the man turned gravely. "Drennle," be began, "she waited for me, all those years. What I was helped to do by such splendid friends as you and your brother and Wilfred, she was back here trying to do for herself. I "I Want You Two to Love Each Other." told you back there the night before I left that I was afraid to let myself question my feelings toward you. Do you remember?" She met his eyes, and her own eyes were frankly smiling. "You were very complimentary, Samson," she told him. "I warned you then that It was tho moon talk lug." "No," he eald firmly, "It was not the moon. I bave since then met that fear and analyzed It My feeling for you Is the best that a man can have, the hon est worship of friendship. And," he added, "I have analyzed your feeling for me, too, and, thank God! I bave that same friendship from you. Haven't I?" For a moment, she only nodded; but ber eyes were bent on the road ahead of her. The man waited In tense silence. Then, she raised her face, and It was a face that smiled with the serenity of one who has wakened out of a troubled dream. "You will always have that, Samson, dear," ehe assured him. "Have I enough of It, to ask you to do for her what you did for me? To take her and teach ber the things she has the right to know?" "I'd love it," she cried. And then she smiled, as she added: "She will be much easier to teach. She won't be so stupid, and one of the things I shall teach her" she paused, and added whimsically "will be to make you cut your hair again." But, just before they drew up at the house of old Spicer South, she eald: "I might as well make a clean breust of It, Samson, and give my vanity the punishment It deserves. You had me in deep doubt' "About what?" "About well, about us. I wasn't quite sure that I wanted Sally to have you that I didn't need you myself. I've been a shameful little cat to Wil fred." "Hut now T" The Kentucklan broke off. "Now, I know that my friendship for you and my love for him bave both had their acid test and I am happier than I've ever been before. ' I'm glad we've been through It There are no doubts ahead. I've got you both." "About him," said Samson, thought fully. "May I tell you something which, although It's a thing In your own heart, you have never quite known?" She nodded, and be went on. TRIED TO "BEAN" THE HAWK New York City Employee Flings Pa per Weight Ineffectively at Daring Pigeon-Eater. There was a hunt for game yester day atop the municipal building. Tlo game was variously described as a hawk and an eagle. The hunters were a couple of score of city employees, led by Alderman Carstalrs and Jack Kennedy, chief clerk of the water de partment. The "gtildo," If euch he could be called, was Elevator Dis patcher Peter Kearney, whose office Is on the roof of the building, and who has been watching the big bird capture and devour pigeons. "The bird Is two feet high at least, and his wings spread four feet," said Kearney. "He's black, but bis breast has streaks of white on It He bas a brown bill, with a black spot right on the end of It." The hunters trooped out on the roof Just after Kearney had Informed them tho bird had settled on a ledge 15 feet below, with a pigeon In Its mouth. There w on a long discussion, aud final "The thine which you call fascina tion In me .was really Just a proxy, Drennle. You were liking qualities la me that were really his qualities. Just because you had known hlra only In gentle guise, bis finish blinded you to bis courage. Because he could turn 'to woman tho heart of a woman,' you failed to see that under it was the iron and fire.' You thought you saw those qualities In me, because 1 wore my bark as shaggy as that scaling hickory over there. When be was get ting anonymous threat of death ev ery morning he dltln't mention them to you. He talked of teas and dances. I know his danger was real, because they tried to have me kill biin and if I'd been the man they took me for, I reckon I'd have done It. I was mad to my marrow that night for a min ute. I don't hold a brief for Wilfred, but I know that you liked me first for qualities which be has as strongly as I and more strongly. He's a braver man than I, bocuse, though raised to gentle things, when you ordered blm Into the fight ho was there. He nevei turned back or flickered. I was raised on raw meat and gunpowder, but he went In without training." The girl's ejus grew grave and thoughtful, and for the rebt of the way she rode In silence. There were transformations, too, In the house of Spicer South. Window had been cut, and lamps adopted. It was no longer so cruduly a pioneer abode. While thoy waited for dinner, a girl lightly crossed the stile, and came up to the house. Adrlanne met her at the door, while Samson and Horton stood back, waiting. Suddenly, Miss Lescott halted aud regarded the newcomer In surprise. It was the same girl she had seen, yet a different girl. Her hair no longer fell In tangled masses. Her feet were no longer bare. Her dress, though simple, was charm ing, and, when she spoke, her English had dropped its half-Illiterate peculiari ties, though the voice still held Its bird like melody. "Oh, Samson," cried Adrlenne, "you two have been deceiving me! Sully, you were making up, dressing the part back there, and letting me patronize you." , Sally's laughter broke from her throat In a musical peal, but it still held the note of shyness, and it was Samson who spoke. "I made the others ride on, and 1 got Sally to meet you Just as she was w hen I left her to go ICast." He spoke with a touch of the mountaineer's over-sensitive pride. "I wanted you first to see my people, not as they ate going to be, but as they were. I wanted you to know how proud I am of them Just that way." That evening, the four of them walked together over to the cabin of the Widow Miller. At the stile, Ad rlenne Lescott 'turned to the girl and said: "I suppose this place is pre-empted. I'm going to take Wilfred down there by the creek, aud leave you two alone." Sally protested with mountain bos pltullty, but even utider the moon she ouce more colored adorably. Adrlenne turned up the collar of her sweater around her throat, and, when she and the man who had waited, stood leaning on the rail of the footbridge, she laid a hand on his arm. "Has the water flowed by my mill, Wilfred?" she asked. "What do you mean?" Hie voice trembled. "Will you nave anything to ask me when Christmas comes?" "If I can wait thut long, Dreuule," he told her. "Don't wait, dear," she suddenly ex claimed, turning toward him, and raising eyes that held his answer .ABk me now!" But ttie question w hich he asked wa one that his lips smothered as be pressed them against her own. Back where the poplar threw III sooty shadow on the road, two flguree sat close together on the top of a Btile, talking happily In whispers. A girl raised her face, and the moou shone on the deepness of her eyes, ai her lips curved In a trembling smile. "You've come back,' Samson," she said In a low voice, "but, If I'd known how lovely she was, I'd have given up hoping. I don't Bee what mude you come." Her voice dropped again into the tender cadence of dialect. "I couldn't live withouten ye, Sam son. I JeBt couldn't do hit." Would hi remember when she had said that be fore? "I reckon, Sally," he promptly told her, "I couldn't live withouten you, neither." Then, he added, fervently, "I'm plumb dead shore I couldn't" THE END. Modern Method. ' Apropos of an elderly Chicago bank er, whoso wife had threatened to- dl vorce him on account of bis affection for, a beautiful stenographer of seven teen years, George Ade said: "A tragedy, this, of a not uncommon kjnd, a tragedy due to our modern business methods.

All Misfortunes, Individual and Nat ural, Are Ascribed to Them May, However, Be Fought and Killed With Swords. F. N. Nicholas, reporting to the Geographical society on lamasery life In Tibet, says: Fantastic nnd absurd as lamalsm Is, there is. with one exception, nothing in Cbo that Is Immoral or repugnant to western ethics. That one excep tion is the belief In the "Dre" or devils. Somewhere In the lowest bell. Sangee has chained the chief devil, whose name Is Sn-nln-tze or Sa tln-tze (not very far from Satan). Dctures of this fiend are In every temple. They are made as horrible and revolting as Tibetan Ingenuity will permit Al though Sa tin Ue Is a prisoner, he hae under bis control legions of lesser devils whoBe business It Is to harass humanity. I-amalBt devils do not tempt men as the Christian devil docs. Temptation, according to the lamas, Is merely the result of a man turning his back on Sangee. The devil ot Tibet Injure, molest and destroy mankind. All the misfortunes of life are the work of the "Dre sickness." Business, misfortune and calamities, both Individual and national, are caused by devils. They are not only "personal," but also ram pant and omnipresent Almost every lama has seen a devil and bas had a personal encounter with him. Devils hate lnmas because of their piety, and tako especial delight In attacking them. Devils are greatly afraid of guns. During the devotional exer cises a Tibetan rifle wns fired three times every day to scare the devils. They may be fought and killed with swords. More than one lama bas told me how lie has sluln a devil. My only unpleasant experiences In tho lamnsery have resulted from the belief In devils. Sudenye suddenly ran amuck one afternoon. He stripped himself to the waist, drew his sword and shout ed that devils were fighting against Cho. ' The Kenpo and I were com pelled to sit on Sudenye' chest for nearly nn hour before be returned to a normal state. I promptly discharged hlra and sent him to Ta Chlen Lo. The direct cause of the outbreak was his secret smoking of opium In cele brating New Year's day, but bis hal lucinations and his peculiar manner are traceable, I believe, to the morbid talk of the lamas about devils and Incarnations and Ma-ha-ga. and all the rest of It. My other servant. Ylchl, walked In his Bleep one night and fell down stairs. On the following evening, when Kenpo dropped In for a little chat around the hopen, Tlchl turned to him as to a father confessor and told him how a devil had gripped him by the thront and then had hurled him downstairs. The Kenpo looked worried and said that the Dre were evidently at their old tricks again and were hovering about the lamasery. He advised me to fire my rifle three times. I did so, and this greatly reassured the Kenpo and Ylchl. later Ylchl described to me the devil's appearance. It was precisely the same as the horrid picture of the Sa tln-tze that Is pasted on the wall of the residence of the Living Buddha. Ylchl had looked' and shuddered at the picture so often that It had at last developed Into a nlghtmnre. Lamasery life Is almost certain to get on the nerves of any man who takes It too seriously. If the average American believed as lamas do and lived their sort of life, be would be a candidate for a lunatic asylum with in six mouths. Success of Typhoid Inoculation. Sir Frederick Treves, presiding at the Society of Arts on the occasion of Doctor Sandwith's Chadwick lecture on "War and Disease," was able to bear witness to the remarkable sani tary conditions under which the pres ent wnr is being waged. Particu larly did he Indorse tho value of Inoc ulation for typhoid, by which means that gteat danger to armies In the field has been practically eliminated Sir Frederick was, In fact, able to state that not a single Inoculated man hsd iled of typhoid In the I'rltlsh expedi tionary force, and that there had only been 212 cases of typhoid, with 22 deaths. When we remember the ex tent to which typhoid prevailed In our armies during the Boer wnr, whe'n the conditions were probably Infinitely less provocative of that disease than those which must necessarily prevail in prolonged trench fighting, It will be recognized that Sir Frederick's claim thnt the existing sanitary arrange ments are unprecedented Is Justified.
