The Presbyterian, M ethodist and Bap­tist churches of Belmar will hold union evangelistic services every evening next week beginning Sunday, January 10. The meetings will be held in the Baptist church on Sunday and Monday evenings, in the Presbyterian church on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and in the Methodist church on Thur»day and F'ri- day evenings. No service on Saturday evening. In the B aptist church Rev.W . E. Leddon of the Methodist denomination will preach the first night, and Rev. Charles Everett of the Prerbyterian the second night. Rev. F . S. Berggren of the Baptist, and Rev. W. E. Leddon will preach in the Presbyterian church, and Revs. Charles Everett and F . S. Berg­gren will preach in the M ethodist church.

The pastor of each church will conduct the preliminary work and have charge of affairs in his own church, other than the sermons.

Rev. Mr. Leddon, of the M. E. church, is attending the “B illy” Sunday cam­paign meetings in Philadelphia this week, and will undoubtedly return full of zeal, and be ready with a ringing address on Sunday night. Rev. Mr. Berggren has just oassed through a big revival campaign in Waynesboro, P a ., where2,400 walked the sawdust aisles, signifying decision to live a different life, and he says the whole town life has been changed, and it is now the common thing in barber shops, facto­ries and stores for men to whistle and sing “1 want to be like Jesus” and “ We must win them one by one.”

I rom present indications, we are led to say tha t if Belmar does not catch th e evangelistic spirit it will not be the fault of the pastors and the various church officials. The churches should be filled every night.

SURVIVORS ROVE THE SEAS

Escape !n Schoone r of “Uncrowned K ing” of Cocos Island After W a r ­

sh ip Is Destroyed— English Pay T r ib u te to Foe’s Bravery.

New York.—Every lover of sea ro­mance, every co llector of p ira tica l lore, every w orsh iper of Jean Lafitto, "B lackbea rd” Lathobe, Morgan the buccaneer and C aptain Kidd and o ther p ira te s, a s well as of John Pau l Jones and Adm iral Nelson was given new and added in te re s t in the g rea t war when on th e m orning of November 11 he read th a t th e German c ru ise r Em ­den, which had destroyed more than a score of B ritish ships in ea ste rn w a ters , had been driven ashore and burned on Cocos island. .

T he Em den was no t a| p ira te ship, but a sm all c ru ise r of th e navy of a big world power, perfec tly accredited , and In its ac tions and the ac tions of its hero ic commander som eth ing for everyone w ith a drop of th e old Teu-

siren fran tica lly to recall the men, for the A ustralian cru iser Sydney was coming up. The Emden did not wait for th e 40 men ashore, bu t pu t abou t and tried to escape—and rig h t th e re begins ano ther ch ap te r th a t is even more fasc ina ting to th e lover of adven­tu re and s tirr in g deeds th an anyth ing th e plucky little German c ru ise r had done. The sto ry of the 40 men and two officers will live in song and s to ry w herever the Rhineland songs are sung or w herever brave m en honor tru e courage and in itia tive in o the r brave men. The Emden sailed away to be driven ashore and destroyed.

Surv ivors Cap tu re Schooner."And so th e g rea t naval duel passed

from our s igh t,” w ired an eye w itness, “and we could tu rn ou r a tten tio n to th e portion of th e Germ an crew th a t had been le ft behind. T hese men had pu t off in th e ir boats, obedien t to the signal of th e siren , bu t when th e ir ship s team ed off w ithout them they could do no th ing else bu t come ashore again. On re land ing they lined up on the shore o f the lagoon, ev iden tly d e te r­m ined to fight to a finish if th e B ritish c ru ise r sen t a p a rty ashore , but a t six o’clock p. m. th e German ra id e rs em ­barked on the old schooner Ayessa, which belongs to Mr. Ross, th e ‘un­crowned k ing ’ of the islands. Seizing a quan tity of clo th ing and sto res, they sailed out and no th ing has been seen o r heard of them since.”

It was a ll as fine and colorfu l as in more rem in iscen t old days when men fought w ith smooth bore guns behind th e walls of th e ir bandbox ships, th e ir bu lw arks lashed to those of th e enemy, and the personal dash and b ravery of the m en as th ey fought w ith cu tla ss and knife, b re a s t to b re a s t and face to face, decided th e victory. One sees th e big blond Germ ans, some of them probably no th ing more th an boys, but

ton blood in him to be proud of. But in its de spe ra te cruises, its daring a t­tacks, its sailing of the high seas w ithou t fea r and w ithout le t from the m ighty power of Eng land ’s navy, th e re was a suggestion of John Paul Jones—and th e re W'as som eth ing of th e old, free , devil-may-care sp irit of th e buccaneer days.

In th e nam e of the is lands where she was finally driven ashore th e re was a w ealth of h isto ric suggestion of th e years when the p ira te s L a th ­obe, Morgan, K idd and Lafitte sailed w herever they listed , ba ttled under th e flag of th e Jolly Roger and took w ha t prizes they ca re d .(c in sp ite of the navies of t l taA civilized world a r ­rayed ag a in s t them . \Held Seas Aga ins t Fo r ty W arsh ip s .The g a llan t little 3,500-ton cru iser,

knowing th e whole tim e th a t she was inexorably doomed to destruc tion , ga llan tly held the seas for th ree m onths ag a in s t fully fo rty hostile w arsh ips, sink ing in th a t tim e 55,000 tons of h e r enem ies’ shipping, looking for troub le by bom barding M adras, looking for m ore trouble by sinking two hostile w arsh ip s under the guns of hostile fo rts, and, as the London Daily T eleg raph poin ted out, h e r cap­ta in showed h im self alw ays an "offi­ce r and a gen tlem an ,” and w rought th e T euton vengeance upon his B rit­ish enemy “w ithou t the loss of a sing le life .”

In th e 14 weeks she had sen t te rro r in to th e h e a r t of every B ritish m er­ch an tm an ’s cap ta in and had done a dam age Estim ated from four to tw enty m illions of dollars. I t would have made any of th e old p ira te s tu rn over in th e ir sea-washed graves to have heard such a sum mentioned, and Paul Jones, the yankee skipper, who did a little tw is ting of the lion’s ta il in his day, would have taken off h is h a t and s tru ck” palm s w ith s tu rdy , boyish look­ing Capt. K arl von Muller of th e Em ­den.

The sto ry of h e r ra id ing th e sh ip ­p ing of th e a llies read s so much like th e s jp rie s of th e days when th e free rcA' rove rs a tta cked , ro lled , scu ttled

The End of th e Emden.“The Emden, which had been com­

pletely lo s t s ig h t of a fte r he r action w ith th e R ussian c ru ise r Jem tchug , arriv ed a t Keeling, or Cocos island, and landed an arm ed party to destroy the w ire less s ta tio n ,” the d ispatches s ta ted . “H ere she was caught and forced to fight by th e A ustralian c ru ise r Sydney, Capt.

The afternoon wanes and there is no re tu rn of th e Emden o r the men of the Sydney. By now the little party begins to fea r th a t th e v icto ry had fr.llen to th e A ustra lian ship w ith its longer range guns. They will be com­ing hack—but the 40 men canno t fight th e crew of a big cru iser. They m ust ge t away. But where? How?

T rue seam en feel sa fes t w ith the tossing deck under them —no m a tte r w hat so rt of a deck. A t th e shore, he r keel hung heavy w ith tropica l sea weed and h e r w ea the r bleached rig ­ging alm ost a s white as dead m en’s bones, was th e crazy old schooner Ayessa, pe rhaps a relic of th e pearl fisheries, perhaps worn out in the cocoanut trade . W ith ex trem e polite­ness, doubtless, the young officers in­qu ire and lea rn th a t she belongs to Mr. Ross, th e “uncrowned king .”

“The Uncrowned K ing” of Cocos.They have heard of Mr. Ross, as

w hat sa ilo r m an of these seas has no t? He is a descendan t of th e Sco tch­man, J. Ross, who two or th ree years a f te r A lexander H are, th e English ad­ven tu rer, came in 1823, se ttled on the sou the rn island. Ross had command­ed a brig during th e English occupa­tion of Java . He se ttled he re w ith his fam ily (who continued th e occupation) on D irection island, and his little col­ony w’as soon streng thened by H a re ’s runaw ay slaves. The Dutch govern­m ent, had, in an inform al way, claim ed possession of th e islands since 1829; b u t they refused to allow Ross to ho ist th e Dutch flag, and accord­ingly th e group was taken under B ritish pro tec tion in 1856. In 1878 it was a tta ched to th e governm en t of Ceylon, and in 1882 placed under the au tho rity of the governor of the S tra its se ttlem en ts . The ownership and superin tendency continued in the Ross fam ily, of whom George C lunies Ross died in 1910, and was succeeded by h is son Sydney.

So th e old ra t t le tra p schooner sleep ­ing a t th e je tty on th e edge of the co ra l lagoon belonged to him, and he was th e “uncrowned k ing" and B ritish , and so they seized a quan tity of clo thes and s to res very necessary to them , got aboard th e old sea tub, and as th e purp le trop ica l sun sank into the sea beyond th e fa r s tre tch e s of co ra l reefs and th e Ind ian sea n igh t sh u t suddenly down in its g lory of s ta r l i t s tre tch e s of b rillian t sky they sailed aw ay in to th e magic

orien ta l sea, “and ,” says th e n a rra to r of November 12, “noth ing has been seen of them since.”

Opportunity for Adventure.But could men w ith such an oppor­

tun ity fo r adven tu re pu t i t aside? Could the sons of th e old sea k ings of th e B altic, w ith a thou sand years of th e legends of th e Danzig, Woll'.n, G reiswald and th e storm y shores of Arcona u rg ing them on, be baffled simply because th e ir sh ipm ates had sailed aw ay to th e ir death , leav ing them on a co ra l is land to ca rry on th e m ission of the Em den? The soft sea air, the perfum e of a thousand nam e­less flowers, th e b roken head of th e old volcano K raka toa tow ering through th e n igh t sky on N orth K eel­ing island and defying both th e ea rth and sea, could bu t lead them on. The rom anticism of th e O rien t was In every w avele t ag a in s t th e sides of the old ship and in every w h isper of the n igh t w inds blow ing off the atoll. Terrific sto rm s som etim es b reak over th e islands and scourge these seas and the schooner m ight become th e ir coffin, hu t they w ere sailo rs of the Fa th erland , and “Deutschland ueber A lle s!” Cocos island saw them no more.

from Manila, Ph ilipp ine is lands;“Forty men of th e crew of the Ger­

Fresh Romance of th e Sea.And now comes, under d a te of Paris ,

A pparen tly all the Em den’s bravery did not go on the rocks a t th e behest of the Sydney guns. To be “raid ing commerce in th e . Pacific” on a collier which they had cap tured , “arm ed with two Maxim guns" and th e rifles and pisto ls of th e land ing pa rty , has a dash of som eth ing about it th a t makes one rem em ber th a t th e days of ro ­mance and adven tu re a re no t all over yet.

The London T im es said when the Emden was destroyed : “We rejo ice th a t th e c ru ise r has been destroyed a t last, but we sa lu te C aptain von Mul­le r as a brave and ch ivalrous foe. W e tru s t h is life ha s been saved, for if he came to London he would receive a generous welcome.

Those who have delved Into the tech ­nique of golf understood th a t th e re a ­son why a ’ person can ge t a long drive is because he has learned how to con­tro l his club so th a t a t th e moment of im pact w ith th e ball th e clubhead is traveling- a t all th e speed the golfer can command. On th e speed of the clubhead, there fo re , re s ts th e sec re t of a long drive, provided, of course, the o th e r essen tia ls of the sw ing have not been overlooked.

To produce th is re su lt i t Is neces­sa ry to have stro ng fo rearm s and w rists. This probably explains why persons of s ligh t physique, bu t a t th e sam e tim e having s tre n g th vm th e el­bows to the tip s of th e fingers, can ge t d istance. It is not th e build of an or-

ARMORED CAR IN WARFAREEuropean Armies Have Found It of

th e G rea tes t Value in T h e i r Operations.

A lthough an engine new to w arfare , the arm ored m otor c a r has proved ex­trem ely useful, especially fo r ou tpost and scou ting du ty . F as t, silent, and mobile, i t covers a v a st am oun t of ground on th e splendid roads th a t crissc ro ss th e field of w ar in w este rn Europe. Most of th e cars a re incasted in a ligh t fram e of tough s tee l p late th a t ranges in th ickness from three- s ix teen th s of an inch to a qu a r te r of an inch, and th a t Is im perv ious to rifle and m achine-gun fire. All th e vu lner­able p a rts of th e motor, such as th e rad ia to r and s tee ring gear, and in some of th e new est ca rs th e wheels, a re pro tec ted by th e s tee l covering. T he wheels, both wood and w ire, are said to w ith stand th e roughest so r t of usage. A ccidents to th e tire s are much less common than anyone would expect. T he ca rs ca rry a ligh t a rm a­m en t—one or two m achine guns so m ounted th a t they can be swung th rough a complete circle—and a large supply of amm unition . The crew , which may num ber from four to e igh t o r more men, a re arm ed w ith rifles and revolvers. Some of th e cars have a stee l sup e rs tru c tu re th a t rise s from the chassis fram e high enough to enable th e crew to s tand uprigh t, and th a t is capped w ith a domed roof, from which bu lle ts and sh rapne l usu ­ally fly off a t a sharp angle w ithout even den ting th e steel.— Youth 's Com- pan ion.

Density of Popula tion.By density of population is m ean t

Backache Warns YouBackache is one of Nature’s warnings

of kidney weakness. Kidney disease kills thousands every year.

Don’t neglect a bad back. If your back is lame—if it hurts to stoop or lift— If there is irregularity of the secretions— suspect your kidneys. If you suffer head­aches, dizziness and are tired, nervous and worn-out, you have further proof.

Use Doan’s Kidney Pills, a iinemedicine for bad backs and weak kidneys.

The gown is es­pecially adapted to small and youth­ful figures—if they be p re ttily curved. I t is no t a dress for th e angu lar young girl.

AT THE EDITORIAL HELM

The first week in a strange printing office and in a new community is alto­gether too short to accomplish great things. And besides we entered the race handicapped in many little ways. Hence The Coast Advertiser as yet can not be presented as our ideal of a community newspaper. To overcome little defects in the mechanical equipment it has cost a great deal of time that should have been devoted to other work. Some very neces­sary supplies to replace worn-out parts are even yet being awaited, they having been orderd from manufacturers, and for this reason we are more or less anxious about the typographical appearance of this issue of The Advertiser.

When half the inking rollers in a print­ing office have turned to adamant and the other half to punk (they originally being made of glue and molasses, and being exeeedingingly pliable) one may imagine whst difficulties we are working under.

Outside of the mechanical grind we have found things very agreeable^ If Belmar is not one of the prettiest towns on the coast, and if her official system tha t has made her such is rotten to the core then we are from Missouri and must be shown.

Did we say “we will not hurt any one politically?” Well, that m ighthave been a strange way of putting it. We don’t expect to agree with everything and shall probably give expression to criticism from time to time, but it will be of remedial character and not of the destructive kind.

May we bespeak this on the part of Belmar residents and friends; Lend your co-operation to making The A dvertise r a worthy journal, faithful in representation snd high class in usefulness and appear­ance.

So far we have received words fof en­couragement only and we have met quite a number of Belmar’s good people, In a few instances the encouragement has taken on of substance more tangible than words, and we thank the friends of good promising enterprise for thus expiessing themselves. We always knew honor had nothing to fear, but it is even better in Belmar, for honor is certainly welcomed here.

POSSESSED SENSE OF HUMORProof T h a t th e Famous Duke of W el­

lington Could Unbend on Occasions.

W ellington Is usually c red ited w ith insensib ility to fun, bu t he seem s to have answ ered a fool according to his folly in th is p leasan t sto ry :

The first organ upon which I tried to play stood under th e no rth arch o f th e chancel of St. S tephen ’s church, and befo re i t was purchased for the chu rch had been th e p roperty of Lord M ornington, th e p ro fesso r of m usic in Dublin un iversity , and of th e still more famous A rthu r W ellesley, afte rw ards duke of W ellington. W hen a subscrip ­tion was being ra ised in o rde r to re ­move th e organ to th e ea s t end, one of th e church w ardens, by name S tephen Seed, an excellen t m an, gifted w ith a som ew hat ludicrously o rna te sty le of ep isto la ry co rrespondence, be­though t him of add ressing a le tte r in h is b e st E nglish to th e duke, in the hopes of g e tting a sub s tan tia l con­tribu tion . A fter rem inding him th a t th e organ had once belonged to h is lam en t­ed fa ther, he added th a t “Your G race’s own famous fingers m ay n o t In frequen t­ly have w andered over th e keys.” The duke was no t to be draw n, bu t an ­swered w ith h is own hand, a s he al­ways did, som ewhat in th ese ch a rac te r­is tica lly laconic te rm s: “F. M. The duke of W ellington p resen ts h is com­plim en ts to Mr. Seed, and begs to say th a t if he ev e r played upon the organ In question, i t m ust have been when he was quite an in fan t.”

Accepted O rde r of Bible Narra tive .

According to a tran s la tion of a re ­cen tly deciphered inscrip tion on one of th e Sum erian tab le ts P ro fesso r Langdon of Jesu s college, Oxford, says th e deluge preceded th e fall of m an, accord ing to the Scientific American. The tab le t, which has been alm ost completely resto red , con ta ins six fine­ly w ritten columns of abou t two hun­dred and forty lines, m ost of which a re in tac t. I t begins by describ ing th e land of prim eval bliss, which it locates a t Dilmun, an is land in th e P e rs ian gulf. “In th is p a rad ise dwelt m ankind, whom N intud, th e crea tre ss , w ith th e help of Enlil had created . A fte r th e deluge th is k ing is called Tagtug , th e divine. And th is T ag tug lives in a garden , is h im self a ga rden ­er, and th e wise Enk i reveals un to him wisdom. The G reek h isto rians, too, p reserve th is legend in th e story of Oannes, who ro se from th e P ers ian gulf to teach men wisdom in prim eval tim es. And so Tagtug , as in th e He­brew h isto ry of Noah, p lan ts a garden, nam es the tre e s and p lan ts and is pe rm itted to e a t of a ll bu t th e cassia tree , an he rb of healing pa r excellence. Of th is p lan t T ag tug was no t to eat, for thereby he would obta in e te rn a l life. Mankind un til th is tim e possessed ex trem e longevity, bu t not immor­ta lity . T ag tug on h is own in itia tive , takes and ea ts of th e forbidden tree. He is cu rsed by N in tud and becomes » prey to d isease and o rd inary mor­ta lity . Thus in th e orig inal Sum erian sto ry Noah, th e 3urv ivo r of th e flood, is he one who ea ts from th e tre e of life No woman is concerned in th is d isobedience which resu lted in our loss fo r p e rfec t hea lth peace and countless years.

CHAPTER II—Continued.

"I h a in ’t a-w antin’ te r suspicion ye, Sam son, b u t I know how ye feels abou t yore pap. I heered th e t Bud Sp icer come by hya r yistiddy plumb full of liquor a n ’ ’lowed h e ’d seen Jesse a n ’ Jim A sberry a-ta lk in ’ ter- g e th e r je s t afo re yore pap was k ilt.” He broke off ab ruptly , then added: “Ye w en t aw ay from hya r la s t night, an ’ d idn ’t g it In twell a t te r sunup—I ju s t heered th e news, an ’ come te r look fe r ye.”

“A ir you-all ’low in’ th e t I sho t them shoots from the lau re l?” inquired Sam­son, quietly .

“E f we-all h a in ’t 'low in’ h it, Sam­son, w e’re plumb shore th e t Jesse P u rvy ’s folks will ’low hit. T hey ’re je s t a-ho ld in’ yore life like a hostage fe r P u rvy ’s, anyhow . E f he dies th ey ’ll try te r g it ye.”

The boy flashed a challenge about the group, which was now draw ing rein a t Sp icer Sou th ’s yard fence. His eyes w ere sullen , bu t he made no an ­swer.

One of th e m en who had lis tened in silence now spoke:

“In th e fu s t place, Samson, we h a in ’t a -say in ’ ye done h it. In the nex ’ place, e f ye did do h it we h a in ’t a-blam in’ ye—much. But I reckon them dawgs don’t lie, a n ’, ef they tra ils in hya r y e’ll need us. T h e t’s why we’ve done come.”

The boy slipped down from his mule and helped L esco tt to dismount. He de lib era te ly unloaded th e saddlebags and k it and laid them on the top step of th e stile, and, while he held his peace, n e ith e r denying nor affirming, his k insm en s a t th e ir horses and waited.

Even to L esco tt it was palpable th a t some of them believed th e young he ir to clan leadersh ip responsib le for the shooting of Je s se Purvy, and th a t o thers believed him innocent, yet none the less in danger of the enem y’s ven­geance. But, rega rd less of divided opinion, all w ere .alike ready to stand at h is back an d /a ll a like aw aited his t i t ia r u tte rance .

Then, in th e th icken ing gloom, Sam ­son tu rned a t th e foot of the stile and faced th e ga th ering . He stood rigid, and his eyes flashed w ith deep passion. H is hands, hanging a t the seams of his jean s breeches, clinched, and h is voice cam e in a slow u tte r ­ance th rough which throbbed the ten ­sity of a soul-absorbing b itterness.

I knowed all ’bou t Jesse P u rvy ’s be in ’ shot. . . . W hen my pap lay a-dyin’ over th a r a t h is house I was a lit t le sh ave r ten years old Je sse P urvy h ired somebody te r kill him . . . a n ’ X prom ised my ^-apth a t I ’d find out who th e t man wae, an’ th e t I’d g it ’em both—some day! So help me, God A lm ighty, I ’m a-goin’ te r g it ’em both—some d ay !” The boy paused and lifted one hand as though tak ing an oath .

“I ’m a-te llin ’ you-all the tru th But I d idn ’t shoot them shoots th is m orn in’. I h a in ’t ncf tru ce buster. I gives y.e my hand on hit. . . Ef them dawgs come hyar th ey ’ll find me hyar, a n ’ ef they h a in ’t liars th ey ’ll go rig h t by hyar. I don’t ’low te r run away, a n ’ I don ’t ’low te r hide out. I ’m a-goin’ te r s tay righ t hyar. T he t’s all I've got te r say te r ye..’*

Fo r a m oment th e re was no reply. Then th e older man nodded with a gestu re of relieved anxiety .

"T h e t’s all we w an ts te r know, Sam ­son,” he eaid, slowly. "Light, men a n ’ come in .”

CHAPTER III.

In days when the Indian held the Dark and Bloody G rounds a pioneer, felling oak and pop lar logs for the home he m ean t to estab lish on the banks of a purling watercourse, le t his ax slip, and the cu tting edge gashed h is ankle. Since to th e discovered be­longs th e ch risten ing , th a t w atercourse becam e C rippleshin, and so it is today se t down on atla« pages. A few miles away, as the crow flies, but many w eary leagues as a man m ust travel, a b ro th e r se ttle r, racked w ith rheum a­tism , gave to his c reek the name of M isery. The two p ioneers had come toge ther from V irginia, as th e ir ances­to rs had come before them from Scot­land. T ogeth er they had found one of th e two gaps through the mountain wall, which for more than a hundred m iles has no o th e r passab le rift. To­ge ther, and as com rades, they had m ade th e ir hom es and founded th e ir race. W hat orig inal g rievance had sp rung up betw een th e ir descendants none of the p resen t generation knew— perhaps it was a farm line o r disputed title to a pig. The p rim ary incident was lost in the limbo of th e past; but for fifty years, w ith occasional in te r­vals of tru ce , lives had been snuffed out in th e fiercely burn ing ha te of th e se m en whose an cesto rs had been com rades.

Old Sp icer South and his nephew Sam son were the d irec t lineal descen­dan ts of the n am er of M isery. T heir kinsm en dw elt abou t th em : the Souths, th e Jasp e rs , th e Spicers, th e W ileys, the M illers and McCagers. O ther fam ­ilies, re la ted only by m arriage and close associa tion , were, in feud align ­m en t, none th e less “Souths.” And over beyond th e ridge, whore the sp rings and brooks flowed the o th e r n a y to feed Crippleshin, d ’ e lt the

Hollmans, th e Purvys, the A sberries, the Hollises and the Daltons—men equally strong in th e ir v indictive fealty to the code o t the vendetta.

By m ountain s tandards old Spicer South was rich. H is lands had been claimed when tra c ts could be had for the tak ing , and, though he had to make his cross m ark when th e re was a con­tra c t to be signed, his in s tinc tive mind was shrewd and far seeing. The tink le of h is cowbells was heard for a long d istance along the creek bottoms. H is h illside fields were th e richest and his coves the m ost fertile in th a t country.

’ Some day, when a railroad should bur- j row through his section , bringing the developm ent of coal and tim ber a t the head of the ra ils , a sleeping fortune would yawn and aw ake to en rich him. There were black outcroppings along the cliffs, which he knew ran deep in veins of b itum inous wealth . But to th a t tim e he looked w ith foreboding, f6r he had been raised to the s tand ­ards of h is fo refa the rs and saw in th e com ing of a new regim e a cu rta ilm en t of personal liberty . For new-fangled ideas he held only the aversion of deep-rooted prejud ice. He hoped th a t he m ight live ou t his days and pass before th e fo reigner held his land and th e law became a power s tro nger than the indiv idual o r the clan. The law was his ener:y , because it said to him, “Thou sha lt no t,” when he sough t to tak e th e yellow corn which b ru ising labo r had coaxed from sca tte red rock- strew n fields to h is own m ash v a t and still. I t m eant, also, a ty rannous power usually seized and adm inistered by enem ies, which undertook to forbid the personal se ttlem en t of personal quarre ls. But his eyes, which could no t read p rin t, could read the signs of th e tim es. He foresaw th e inev­itab le com ing of th a t day. A lready he had given up th e worm and m ash vat, and no longer sough t to m ake or sell illic it liquor. T h a t was a conces­sion to th e federa l power, which could no longer be successfully fought. S ta te power was still largely a wreapon in fac tional hands, and in his country th e Hollm ans w ere th e office holders. To the Hollm ans he could m ake no concessions. In Samson, born to be th e fighting man, reared to be the fighting man, equipped by n a tu re w ith deep ha tred s and tig erish courage, th e re had cropped out from tim e to tim e the res tle ss sp ir it of th e philos­opher and a hunger for knowledge. T ha t was a m a tte r in which the old m an found his b it te re s t and m ost se­c re t apprehension .

It was a t th is house th a t George Lescott, d istinguished landscape pa in t­e r of New York and the world a t large, a rriv ed in th e tw iligh t.

W hatev er enemy m igh t have to be m et tomorrow , old Spicer South rec­ognized as a m ore imm ediate call upon his a tten tion the wounded guest of today. One of tl>£ kinsm en proved to have a rude working knowledge of bone se tting , and before the ha lf hour had passed L esco tt’s w ris t was in a splin t, and his in ju ries as well tended as possible, which proved to be quite well enough.

• * • * * ' * •W hile Spicer South and his cousins

had been susta in ing them selves or building up competences by tilling th e ir soil th e leaders of th e o the r fac­tion were basing la rg e r fo rtunes on the profits of m erchand ise and trade . So, although Spicer South could ne i­th e r read no r w rite , h is ch ief enemy, Micah Hollman, was to outw ard seem ­ing an u rbane and fairly equipped man of affairs. Judged by th e ir heads, the clansm en were rougher and more illit­e ra te on M isery, and in closer touch with civilization on C rippleshin. A deeper sc ru tiny showed th is seem ing to be one of th e s trange anom alies of the mountains.

Micah Hollman had estab lished him ­self a t H ixon, th a t shack town which had passed of la te years from feudal county sea t to th e section 's one point

“Ef It H a in ’t A sk in ’ Too Much, WillYe Let Me See Ye Pa in t One ofThem T h ing s?”

of con tac t w ith th e ou tside world; a town where th e ancien t and modern orders brushed shou lders; w here the new was to lera ted , but dared not be­come aggressive . D irectly acro ss the s tre e t from the courthouse stood an ample fram e building, on whose side wall was emblazoned th e legend, “H o llm an’s Mammoth D epartm en t S tore .” T hat was th e secre t s tro ng ­hold of Holflnan power. He had a l­ways spoken deploringly of th a t sp irit of law lessness which had given the m ountains a bad name.

W hen th e ra ilroad came to Hixon it found in Judge Hollm an a “public- sp irited citizen .” Incidentally , -the tim ­be r th a t it hauled and th e coal th a t its flat cars ca rried down to th e Blue- g rass w ent largely to his consignees. He had so as tu te ly an tic ipa ted coming even ts th a t, when th e first scouts of cap ita l sough t options they found them selves constan tly re fe rred to Judge Hollman. No wheel, it seemed, could tu rn w ithout h is nod. It was n a tu ra l th a t th e genial s to rekeeper should become th e big man of the community and inev itab le th a t the one big man should become the d icta tor. H is inhe rited place as leade r of th e Hollm ans in the feud he had seem ­ingly passed on as an obsolete p re­rogative.

Yet, in business m atte rs , he was found to drive a hard bargain , and

I men ohme to regard it th e p a rt- of i good solicy to m eet ra th e r th ao com­

ba t his requ irem ents. It was essen­tia l to his purposes th a t the officers of the law in his country should be in sym pathy with him. Sympathy soon became ab jec t subservience. W hen a South had opposed Jesse Purvy in the prim ary as candidate for high sheriff h e was found one day lying on his face w ith a bullet-riddled body. It may have been a coincidence which pointed to Jim A sberry , the judge’s nephew , as th e assassin . A t all events, th e judge ’s nephew was a poor boy, and a charitab le grand ju ry declined to ind ic t him.

In the course of five years several South adheren ts , who had crossed Holm an’s path , became v ictim s of the lau re l ambuscade. The theo ry of co­incidence was stra ined . Slowly the rum or grew and pe rs is ten tly spread , though no man would adm it having fa the red it, th a t before each of these executions star-cham ber conferences had been held in th e rooms above M icah Hollm an’s “Mammoth D epart­m en t S to re .” It was said th a t these exclusive sessions w ere a ttended by Judge Hollman, Sheriff Purvy and cer­ta in o the r gen tlem en selected by rea ­son of th e ir m arksm ansh ip . When one of these victim s fell John South had ju s t re tu rned from a law school “down below,” w earing “fotched-on” clo th ing and th ink ing "fotched-on” thoughts. He had amazed the com­m unity by dem anding the righ t to as­s is t in probing and p rosecu ting th e affair. He had then shocked the com­munity into complete para lysis by re ­questing th e g rand ju ry to ind ic t no t alone th e alleged assassin , bu t also h is employers, whom he named as Judge Hollman and Sheriff Purvy. T hen he, too, fell under a bolt from the laurel.

T ha t was th e first public accusation ag a in st the bland cap ita lis t, and it ca r­ried its own prom pt w arn ing against repetition . The judge 's high sheriff and ch ief ally re tired from office and went ab road only w ith a bodyguard. Jesse Purvy had built h is s to re a t a crossroads 25 m iles from the ra il­road. L ike Hollman, he had won a repu ta tion for open-handed charity , was liked—and hated. H is friends were legion. H is enem ies were so nu­m erous th a t he apprehended violence not only from the Souths bu t also from o the rs who nursed grudges in no way re la ted to th e line of feud cleavage. The Hollm an-Purvy combi­na tion had re ta in ed enough of its old power to escape th e law 's re tribu tion and to hold its d ic ta to rsh ip , but the efforts of John South had no t been a ltog e the r bootless. He had ripped away two m asks, and th e ir erstw hile w earers could no longer hold th e ir old semblance of law -abiding ph ilan th ro ­pists. Jesse Pu rvy ’s home wae the show place of th e countryside. Com­modious ve randas looked out over p leasan t orchards, and in th e same inclosu re stood the two fram e build­ings of his sto re—for he, too. com­bined m erchand ise w ith baronial powers. But back of the place rose th e m ountain side, on which Purvy never looked w ithout dread. Twice its im penetrab le th icke ts had spa t a t him. Twice he had recovered from wounds th a t would have taken a less charm ed life. And in grisly rem inder of th e te rro r whfch clouded th e peace of his days stood th e eight-foot log stockade a t th e rea r of th e place, which the p rop rie to r had built to shield his daily journeys between house and store . But Je sse Purvy was no t deluded by his escapes. He knew th a t he was “m arked down.”

The years of s tra in were te lling on him. The robuBt, full-blooded face was show ing deep lines; his flesh was grow ing flaccid; his glance tinged w ith quick apprehension . He trfld his in tim ate s th a t he realized " th ey ’d ge t him ,” ye t he sough t to prolong his te rm , of escape.

Y esterday m orning Je sse Purvy had risen early as usual, and, a f te r a sa t­isfy ing b reak fas t, had gone to his sto re to a rrang e fo r th e day ’s busi­ness. One o r two of his henchmen, seem ing loafers, bu t in rea lity a body­guard, were lounging w ith in call. A m arried daugh ter was ch a tting with h e r fa th e r while h e r young baby played among the b a rre ls and cracker boxes.

The daugh ter w ent to a re a r w in­dow and gazed up a t the mountain. The cloudless sk ies were still in hid­ing behind a cu rta in of m ist. The woman was idly w atching the vanish­ing fog w ra ith s, and he r fa th e r came over to he r side. Then th e baby cried and she stepped back. Purvy him self rem ained a t the window. It was a th ing he did no t often do. I t le ft him exposed, bu t th e m ost cautiously guarded life has its m oments of re ­laxed vigilance. He stood th e re pos­sibly th ir ty seconds, then a sharp fu­sillade of c lear repo rts barked out and was sha tte red by th e hills in to a long reverbera tion . W ith a hand clasped to h is chest, Purvy tu rned , walked to th e m iddle of the floor, and fell.

The henchm en rushed to the open sash . They leaped out and plunged up the m ountain , tem p ting the a ssa s­s in ’s fire, bu t th e assassin was sa tis ­fied. The m ountain was again as qu ie t as it had been a t dawn. Inside, a t the m iddle of th e store, Je sse Purvy sh ifted his head ag a in st his daugh­te r ’s knee and said, as one s ta tin g an expected even t;

“Well, th ey ’ve got me.”An ord inary m oun ta ineer would

have been ca rried home to die in the darkness of a d irty and window less shack. The long-suffering s ta r of Jesse Purvy ordained o therw ise. He m ight go under o r he m igh t once m ore bea t his way back and ou t of th e quick­sands of death . At all events, he would fight for life to th e la s t gasp.

Twenty m iles aw ay in th e core of the w ilderness, removed from a ra il­road by a score of sem i-perpendicu lar m iles, a fana tic had once decided to found a school.

Now a facu lty of ten men taugh t such as cared to come such th ing s as they cared to learn . H igher up the hillside stood a sm all, bu t model hos­p ita l, w ith a modern operating table and a case of surgical ins trum en ts , which, it was said, th e s ta te could not surpass.

To th is haven Je sse Purvy , th e m ur­de r lord, was borne in a li t te r carried on th e shoulders of h is dependents. H ere, as his s te ad fa s t guard ian s ta r decreed, he found two p rom inen t med­ical v is ito rs, who hu rried him to the opera ting tab le . L a te r he was re ­moved to a w hite bed, w ith th e June spark le in his eyes, p lea san tly modu­

lated through drawn blinds, and th e June ru s tle and bird c'\orus in Jcft] ea rs—and his own thoughte.. io /n i i bratn. \

Conscious, bu t in g re a t gain, Purv; beckoned Jim Asberry and Aaron Ho| lis, h is chiefs of bodyguard to his bei side and waved the nurse back out hearing.

“If I don’t get well,” he said feebl " th e re ’s a job for you two boys, reckon you know what it is? ’

They nodded, and A sberry wl pered a name:

“Samson Sou th?”“Yes,” Purvy spoke in a whis]

but th e old vind ictiveness was I t smothered. "You got the old m a |I reckon you can m anage the cub. p f you don’t h e ’ll ge t you both one d | . ‘

The two henchm en scowled." I ’ll g it him tom orrer,” g row led ls-

berry . "T h ar h a in ’t no so rt of |s e in a-waitin '.’’

“No!” Fo r an in s tan t P u rvy ’s ilce rose ou t of its w eakness to itao ld staccato tone of command, a pne which brought obedience. "If Ig e t well I have o th e r plans. N ever lin d w hat they are. T h a t’s my busless. If I don’t die, leave him alone,Jtntil I give o th e r orders.

"If I ge t well and Sam son Si killed meanwhile I won’t livi either. I t would be my life f<[Keep close to him. The minuj h e a r of my death—get him.j paused again , then supplei “You two will find som eth ing in te re s tin ’ in my will."

I t was afternoon when IPurvy reached the hospital, and, a t nfehtfall of the sam e day, th ere a rr iv eq a t h is s to re ’s en trance , on stumbling hard- ridden mules, severa l men, Allowed by two taw ny hound6 whose l a g ears flapped over th e ir lean ja \4 , and whose eyes were lis tless and tiled, but whose black muzzles w rink ld and sniffed with th a t sensitive Instinct which follows th e man scent, t h e ex­sheriff’s fam ily w ere in s t i tu t tg pro­ceedings independent of the c l e f s or­ders. The next morning th» party plunged in to the mountain taifcle and beat the cover with th e bloolhounds in leash. / .

T he two gefitle-faced doga picked th e ir way between the floweilng rho ­dodendrons, the glisten ing laujels, the feath ery pine sprouts and t ie moss- covered ro^ks. They went gingerly and aiertW on ungainly! cushioned feet. Ju^ t as th e ir m as te rs Lere de­spa iring /they cam e lo a placejd irec tly over tfie store, where a b ra ic h had been bent back and hitched lo c lear th e outlook and jw here a bofct heel had /c ru shed the moss. There tone of them raised h is pose high inio the aft, opened his niouth, and le t o u t a long, deep-chested bay of discovery.

anderlu s t th a t had a t tim es broughtjhim a res tiveness so poignant as to be agonizing; th e undefined attun ing lof h is h e a r t to th e beauty of sky and hill; th ese m atte rs he had h ithe rto kep t locked in guilty silence.

In a cove o r low land pocket, s tre tch ­ing in to th e m ountain side, lay the sm all and m eager farm of the Widow Miller. The W idow M iller was a “S ou th ;” th a t is to say, she fell, by tie of m arriage , under th e protection of the clan head. She lived alone w ith h e r fourteen-year-old son and he r six­teen-year-old daughter. The daugh ter was Sally.

The sun rose on th e m orning a fte r L esco tt arrived , the m ists lifted, and th e cabin of the W idow M iller stood revealed. A tousle-headed boy made his way to the barn , to feed the ca ttle , and a red patch of color, as bright and tunefu l as a K entucky cardinal,

CHAPTER IV.

George Lescujtt had known hosp ita l­ity of many b r in d s and degrees. He had been th e I lionized ce lebrity in places of fashion. Hp had been th e guest of equally famoup b ro th e r a r tis ts in th e c ities oil tw o hem ispheres, and, since sincere /painting had been his pole s tar, he ljad gone w here his a r t ’s w anderlu st backoned. He had fol­lowed Ih e lure of tran s ito ry beauty to remote sections of the world. The p resen t trip was only one of many like It, which had brough t him into touch witli vary ing peoples and dis­tinctive types of life. He told h im self th a t liever had he found men a t once so crude and so courteous as these hosts who, facing personal perils , had still tim e and w illingness to rega rd his comfort.

The com ing of th e k insm en, who would stay un til th e p resen t danger passed, had filled the house. T he four beds in th e cabin p roper were full, and some slep t on floor m attresses. Lescott, because a guest and wounded, was given a sm all room aside. Sam ­son, however, shared his qu a rte rs in o rder to perform any service th a t an in jured man m igh t require . I t had been a full and unusual day for th e pain ter, and its inciden ts crowded in on him in re tro sp ec t and drove off the possib ility of sleep. Samson, too, seemed wakeful, and in th e isolation of th e dark room the two m en fell in to conversation , which alm ost lasted out th e night. Sam son w ent in to th e con­fessional. This was th e first hum an being he had ev e r m et to whom he could unburden his soul.

The th irs t to ta s te w hat knowledge lay beyond the h ills ; th e unnam ed

"I Couldn 't Live W ithou ten Ye, Sam­son. I J e s t Couldn’t Do Hit .”

appeared a t th e door betw een th e morning-glory vines. The red patch of color was Sally.

She made h e r way, ca rry ing a bucket, to th e sp ring , where she kne lt down and gazed a t h e r own im age in th e w ater.

Before going home she se t down her bucket by th e s tream , and, w ith a quick g lance tow ard th e house to m ake su re th a t she was no t observed, climbed th rough th e b rush and wae lost to view. She followed a path th a t h e r own fee t had made, and a fte r a steep course upward came upon a bald face of rock, which stood out sto rm ba tte red w here a r if t w ent through th e backbone of th e ridge. This point of van tage commanded th e o th e r val­ley. Down below, across th e tree tops, were a roof and a chim ney from which a th read of sm oke rose in an a tte n u ­ated shaft. T h a t was Spicer Sou th ’s house and Sam son 's home. The girl leaned ag a in s t the gnarled bowl of the white oak and waved tow ard th e roof and chimney. She cupped he r hands and ra ised them to he r lips like one who m eans to shout acro ss a g rea t d is­tance, th en she w hispered so low th a t only she he rse lf could hea r:

"Hello, Samson Sou th !”She stood for a space looking down,

and forgot to laugh, while h e r eyes grew relig iously and softly deep, then , tu rn ing , she ran down the 6lope. She had perform ed he r m orning devotions.

T ha t day a t th e house of Spicer South was an off day. The kinsm en who had stopped for th e n igh t stayed on th rough th e morning. Noth ing was said of th e possib ility of trouble. The men ta lked crops and tossed horse­shoes in th e y a rd ; bu t no one w ent to work in the fields, and all rem ained w ith in easy call. Only young Tam a­rack Spicer, a raw-boned nephew , wore a su llen face and made a g rea t show of clean ing h is rifle and pistol.

Shortly a f te r d inn er he disappeared , and when th e afternoon was well ad ­vanced Samson, too, w ith his rifle on h is arm , stro lled tow ard th e stile.

D eaths from typhoid fever, m easles, s c a r le t feve r and whooping cough show a decrease from th e p rev ious m onths.

The repo rt says th a t d iph theria h a s been unusually p rev a len t ove r m ost of th e S ta te , and has been epidem ic in severa l localities.

THE COAST ADVERTISER, BELMAi V N ' J -. JANUAT

OURI t was intim ated from an authoritative source in Deal yesterday th a t the officials of the borough intend to go before Pros­ecutor Rufus V . Lawrence with the facts a ttendan t upon the resignation early last year of Borough Superintendent William Hogencamp, for more than a decade the “ boss” of the borough.

I t was said tha t new discoveries of ap­parent discrepances in the old accounts of the ex-superintendent had been made and th a t an effort would be made to have him indicted. Mr. Hogencamp is not liv­ing in Deal this w inter, bu t is believed to be a t Paterson, where he is said to own property.

When the charges were originally made against him by Mayor William Levy, who forced him to resign, he entered no de­nial and later made restitution of more than $5,000 to the borough treasury.
