About one-third of the pupils In the school were found to be following the commercial curriculum to prepare themselves for service in the business world. With their technical training in stenography, typewriting, filing.

offie practice, penmanship, arithmetic, and bookkeeping, they receive a broad education, in academic subjecte English, civics, history, science, and foreign languages. Those who complete this course are able to give satisfaction in the various positions so numerous in and about the "metropolis. Considerable interest was displayed in the work of the Industrial Arts Department. Seeing the boys at work in the various shops oftentimes leads the casual observer to mistake this work for trado training. This is an error, as no effort is being made to turn out carpenters, machinists, this being the job of the vocational or trade school.

What the high school offers in this particular branch of work is a good sound academic education, supplemented by Industrial education through tools and the tool processes of a variety of activities, which not only develop the initiative of the pupil, but also bring him in contact with modern industrial procedure whereby he is enabled to pick out the specific type of work which, by native ability and personal interest, he is best adapted to follow as a life career. Pupils graduating from this course have been unusually successful, it was said. Many become electrical and mechanical engineers; some have taken "up architectural work; others drafting of various types; while a few of the graduates go on to higher institutions of learning. Woodwork, pattern making, machine shop work, forging, drafting, are among the subjects offered. All the work appeared to be of a practical nature, and the pupils displayed much interest in what they were After making a round of the shops eome of the members of the club paid a visit to the domestic science department.

Here, as in the shop work, a four-year course is offered which includes the regular academic work supplemented by cooking, budget making, household management, dietetics, nursing, sewing and general art work. The graduates from this course have been very successful, too, the school authorities assert. Soma become nurses; others designers, teacher dietitians, etc. In addition to the vocational possibilities of the course, it offers a splendid training for that most important of all vocations home making. It is claimed that if the objective of the child is known when he enters high school, he can be satisfactorily carried along his or her way in one of the courses provided, or by a special combination cf courses In unusual cases.

This presupposes, of course, the ability and willingness of the child to perform the school work successfully. Certain kinds of work are required of all pupils, four years ef English (including grammar and spelling), civics, problems of democracy, physical training, a science, and two years of either mathematics or a foreign language. The recently established courses in music should be mentioned, as they are providing satisfactorily for those who profit from work in musical appreciation, fundamentals of music, harmony, and voice culture. It was learned, too, that outside of the regular curricula, there is opportunity given to the pupils to develop their talents in dramatics. debating, declamation, drawing, cooking, sewing, shop work, athletics, singing the orchestra, and in the many organizations cf the school, such as the council, the student patrol, the school paper, the class and athletic orgflzatlons and clubs of various kinds.

Counterman turned felt along the edge of the porch floor with his hands. "I 'low I werdn't no worse su-prised than he'd a' be'n if he a saw me. But I happened be back in the corner b'hind the crowd an' -It's good, thing I were. I dasn't come face face with Black Bogus.

He tricked me once he won't trick me no more" the old hunter saw the weather-stained fist of the fisherman grip tight; heard his lanky jaws clamp together; watched him instinctively hitch the holster of his long-barreled six-gun to an easier position at his hlr "an I've already got enough blood on my hands over He stopped abruptly nnd again sat staring into the night. The man was a mystery. He had come to Buckeye as the driftwood comes nobody knew from He paid his way, asked no questions, answered none. In the silence that fell Uncle Nick sat pondering him what his life story might have been. The fisherman roused himself after a moment and went on.

"What crosses my path is, how 'e come be there, p'tie'lar how happened t' come out s' bold 'specially If is the man you think 'e Is. It ain't his way. He never would 'a done it If It hadn't 'a be'n Zeke Polick's squir'l whisky." He straightened, glanced "around at his aged friend, and had the light been sufficient, the old man might have seen that the twinkle, never long absent from the doubly capable eye, had returned. "Big Jack on the parson shore did show im a good time while lasted." Uncle Nick grinned. "That parson lord I ain't b'en church in fifty year, but Tm calc'latin on goin next Sund'y.

If that parson can outface the devil the way he outfaced that hulkhV chuckle-head, he ain't no bad man hitch up with."

I never see'd 'im till 'e tangled with Bis Jack In the post office other evenin. but I knowed 'is sister, not the one that's with 'im now but the other one the one that's dead" The fisherman bent his head and his voice fell low, finally stopped.

"Black 'Bogus Is an old pal Loge's," he went on after a time. "Wouldn't wonder he's harborin up thar, an if is, why is 'e? An" what are they both 'r either one of 'cm doin' up hyur in the Flat-woods?

Anyhow, ther's lots folks that looks like other folks." Counterman thought a moment before he spoke again.

Disclosures regarding pardon and parole cases said to Involve members of Congress and other considerations not yet revealed are understood, however, to have prompted the President to reconsider. Strong arguments have been advanced to him that he ought ftt this time to have at the head of the department someone whose physical health, for one thing, would permit him to attack with vigor the work pending before the department. Dausherty himself is not well, and his wife's illness called him from his desk here to Florida.

Mr. Coolidge had a conference again yesterday with Senator i Borah, Idaho, with whom he has previously discussed Daugherty's status several times. The President called Borah to the White House at an early hour. Beyond admitting that Daugherty was the subject of discussion Borah would not reveal the purpose of the conference. The Senate Committee speeded it3 preliminary work today with jthe intention of calling the first witness next Tuesday or Wednes- aay.

A great mass of evidence has been collected against the red squirrel showing his depredations are such as to make it necessary to keep down his number if insectivorous birds are to be allowed -to flourish and help out in their useful work. The late John Burroughs wrote of the red squirrel: "Nearly all tro birds look uoon it as their enemy and attack and annoy it when it appears near their breeding haunts. Thus I have seen the pewee. the cuckoo, the robin and the wood thrush pursuing it with angry voice and gestures. If you wish the birds breed and thrive In your orchaid and groves, kill every red squirrel that infects the place." i POINT STANDING IN SIX-DAY RACE Ixailers Egg and Beckman Goullet and Grenda Madden and Horan Nefatti and Azzini Kockler and Stockholm Brocco and M.

He finally lifted his battered hat, ran his fingers through his hair and motioned his aged friend to sit beside him.

"Seen Big Jack t'day?" "See'd 'ini this evenin late come down ofTn Black rock" he tossed up his hand toward the high battlement of stone that 'frowned down upon them from across the mouth of the hollow "hira an Texie. They crossed the branch at the bridge thar, passed the gate an went on down through town the post office, I low." The fisherman put Ills hat back on. 'Trj skeer'd It's dern little good it'll do im. As I sat along up the crick, I happened glance down in ol' Sime's orchi'd, an thar she set with the new parson at Whisperln spring." The old man lowered his eyes and sat patting his boot upon the gravel of the small gutter worn by the drip of the porch' eaves. "Beats the devil the headway the parson's a-makin with er," he muttered.

"Must know some trick other men ain't on to." He lifted his face after a moment and chuckled complalsantly. "Big Jack," he went on, "couldn't kill him with a nigger maul.

Lord Leetle too high, though," he commented In the nice criticism of a man who, in his day, was known to have been the most dangerous rough-and-tumble fighter on the border. He paused, and his face assumed the same puzzled expression It had worn at the festival the evening before.

"I reckon bit couldn't 'a b'n, an Its jist as well not say nothin' about It," he went on, "but I thought that feller favored that scape-gal'us- of ol' Sime's Ken Colin what 'e would 'a be'n by now.

Uncle Nhi straightened. "No "Hit were." The old man swore, took out his pipe again, stared at it and put it back in his pocket.

Texie is the only daughter of old Pap Simon, rich man and moneylender. Jack is the orphan bound boy of Pap Simon, who had foreclosed a mortgrag-e- on the Warhope estate. At first Texie and Jack talk sadly of Ken Colin, the girl's missing brother. Then.

Jack says that in ten days his servitude will be over, that he will go to California for Kold and that he will come back. Then the Milford stagre comes in, bringing Rev. Caleb Hopkins, the new minister of Buckeye, in the Flatwoods. Simon Colin welcomes the minister and introduces the villagers. The preacher is a young man with a beard, enormous spectacles, stiff neck stock and patent leather boots.

At supper at the Colin home the preacher, who had been Ken's roommate at college, tells bow the boy killed a gambler and disappeared. His father attributes Ken fall from grace to his red lock of hair, an inheritance from Red Colin," a pirate in the days of Elizabeth. Then Pap Simon has a sort of stroke, brought on by reading a letter from Ken, "somewhere in New York." who curses his father on his death bed. A postscript by another hand says he is dead. At the village store and post office Isre Belden, a newcomer, says he saw the new parson with his arm around Texie.

A drunken stranger disturbs the festivities. He attacks Jack with a knife. Jack knocks him flat, but receives an unimportant wound. The preacher faces the desperado and points to the door. The ruffian disappears.

Jack trails the desperado of the festival to the cabin where Belden and his sister live. Jack tells Pap Simon that he's going to California to find gold to buy hack the old homestead, and tells Texie of his love for her. CHAPTER IX Bats and Beetles. IN TnE luminous evening that followed Uncle Nick sat smoking a quiet pipe on the porch of his modest cabin at the upper edge of the village, almost exactly opposite the point where the Eagle Hollow road crossed the flat, unbanistered bridge and turned up the east bank of the branch to disappear between the jaws of the hollow. Through the open door came the clink of the supper dishes as Aunt Liza put them away.

A throng of bats, nocturnal hunters all, darted In and out among the fruit trees, white with bloom; the drone of a thousand beetles, the hum of a myriad gauzy wings, throbbed the silence into a sort of drowsy rhythm a scene tranquil and e-rene. The old man was jast setting off to keep his tacitly understood appointment with the embryo scientists, soldiers and statesmen who assembled nightly around the barrels and boxes of Zeke Polick's store, when the front gate clicked. He stopped and stood mildly wondering to see the tall and lanky form of Al Coon term an, the one-eyed fisherman, coming up through the trees. He threw up lila hand, the fisherman threw up his. Two grins met and passed In the twilight.

"Fine day, said the fisherman. "Couldn't make one no better. If I had the tools." The fisherman seldom almost never came into that part of the village. With the sound horse sense that eighty years of hard knocks had pounded into him, Uncle Nick knew that something unusual had brought him. Counterman knew that he knew.

He absently traced the flight of the bats with his puckered eyes and shifted from one foot to the other. Xittle out y'ur range, hain't yo?" The fisherman sat down on the porch, spit out into the yard, and threw away his cud. as If clearing his mouth for action. Al rarely threw away his cud. When he did It' meant something.
