"1 don't lUe to tell you. mother, but he didn't fail; Cliff Jumped hiui and tried lo kill him." The mother doubted her ears. "Cliff did? 11 ow did he happen to meet you?" I'.crrie was quick to answer. "1 don't know how he found out we were on the trail. 1 suppose the old lady j'honed Lim. Anyhow, while we were camped for noon yesterday" her face darned again at thought of that tender, beautiful moment when they were resting on the grass "while we were at our lunch he uime tearmg down the bill on that big bay horse of Ins and took a flying jump at Way land. As Wayland went down he struck his bead on a stone. 1 thought he was dead, and 1 was paralyzed for a sec ond. Then I flew at Cliff and just about choked the life out of him. I'd have ended him right there If he hadn't let go." Mrs. McFarlane. looking upon her daughter in amazement, saw on her face the shadow of the deadly rage which had trarned in her beart as he clinched young F.elden's throat. -What then? What happened then?" "lie let go, you bet." ller smile came back. "When did this take place?" "Yesterday about 2.

"Nash is uot the kind that tat tles. I'm glad be turned up " "And this morning I saddled and came down." "Did Nash go on?" "Yes. Daddy was waiting for tire, so I let him go along." "It's all sad business." groaned Mrs. McFarlane. "and 1 can see you're keep ing something back. How did Cliff happen to know just where you were, and what started you back without your father?" For the first time Herrie showed signs of weakness and distress. "Why. you see. Alee Itelden and Mr. Moore were over there to look at some titn-l-er. and old Maim .Itelden and that Moore girl went along. I suppose they sent word to Cliff, and 1 presume that Moore girl put him on onr trail. Least wise that's the way I figure it out. That's the worst of the whole bnsi ness." She admitted this with dark ened brow. "Mrs. Itelden' tongue is hung in the middle and loose at both ends and that Moore girl is spiteful mean.'' Fhe could not keep the con tempt out of her voice. "Oh. 1 wish you hadn't gone!" ex claimed the worried mother. "It can't be helped now. and it hasn't done me any real harm. It's all in the day's work anyhow. I've always gone with daddy before, and this trip isn't going to spoil me. The hoys all know me. and they will treat me lair." -Yes. but Mr. Norcross is an outsid er, a city man. They will all think evil of him on that account." "I know. That's what troubles me. No one will know how tine and con siderate he was. Mother. I've never known any one like liim. lie s a poet: I doti't care what people say of me it only they will tie just to him. They've got to treat him right." she added firmly. "Did be speak to you are you en gaged?" Her head drooped. "Not really en gaged, mother, but he told me bow much he liked me. and it's all risrht. mother. I know it Is. I'm not tine enough for him. but I'm going to try to chance my ways so he won't be ashamed of tne." Mrs. McFurlane's face cleared. "He surely is a f:ne young fellow and can he trusted to do the risrht thing. Well, we might jis well go to led. We can't settle anything till your father gets home." she said. Wayland rose next morning free from dizziness and almost free lrom pain, ami when he came out of his room his expression was cheerful. "1 feel as It I'd slept a week, and I'm hungry. 1 don't know why 1 should be. but 1 am.' Mr3. Mcl'arlane met him with some thing very intimate, something almost maternal in h?r look, but her words were as few and as restrained as ever. He divined thr.t she had toen talking with r.errie ami that a fairly clear uu drrstandins of the situation had been reached. Tint this understanding In volved him closely he was aware, but nothing in his ma uuor acknowledged It. She did not a:;k any questions, be lieving that sooner or later the whole story must come out. The fact that Slona Moore ::nd Mrs. Itelden knew that Itearie had started back on Thurs day with young Norcross made it easy for the villagers to discover that she had not reached the ranch till Satur day. "What could Joe have been think ing cf to jiliow them to go?" she said "Mr. Nr.sh's presence in the cr.mp must te made known, but then there is Clif ford's assault upon Mr. Norcross. Can that be kept secret too?" And ro while the young people chatted the troubled mother waited in fear, knowing that In n day or two the countryside would be aflame with accusation. A long day's rest, a second eight's sleep, set Wayland en hi3 feet. He came to breakfast quite gay. "FtarrJnj the hickory nut on the Lack o" try head." he explained. "I'm feeling Sno. almost ready for another expedition. I may make a ranger yet." I'.errie. though equally gay. was ret so pure of his ability to return tc work. "1 rec kon you'd better go e"r till daddy gets Pa- k. but if you feci like it we'll ride up to the postofDce th's afternoon." "I want to statt risht fn to learn -tc throw that bitch, nnd I'm poii'g to practice with an as till 1 can strike twice iu the same place. This trip was an eye opener. Jreat man I'd. be in a windfall, wouldn't IV" He was persuaded to remainyery qui"t for another day, and rart of it w:s spent In conversation with Mrs. Mc Farlane, whom he liked very much, and an hour or more in writing a long letier wherein fie announced to his fa ther his intention of goirg Into the forest serviie. "I've got to build up n constitution." he said, "nnd I don't know of a better place to do it ir. Be sides, I'm beginning to be interested iu the scheme. 1 like the supervisor. I'm living in his house at the presert time, and I'm feeling contented and happy, so don't worry about me." He was indeed quite comfortable, save when he realized that Mrs. Mc Farlane was taking altogether too much for granted in their relationship. It was delightful to be so watched over, so waited upon, so instructed. "Bat where is it all leading me?" he con tinued to ask himself, and still that wall of reserve troubled end saddened Berrie. On the fourth morning the phone rang, and the squawking voice of Mrs. Beldeu came over the w ire "I wanted to know if Berrie and her feller got home ail right?" . ."Yes,-they arrived safely." The old woman 'chuckled. "Last I see of Cliff he was hot on then trail looked like be expected to take a hand in that exjeditiou. Did he overtake 'em?" "I don't hear very well. Where are you?" "I'm at the Scott ranch. We're com ing round 'the horn' today."

I'd like to know what haj pened" Mrs. McFarlane hung up the receiver. The old woman's nasty chuckle w as in tolerable, but in silencing the phone Mrs. McFarlane was iTrfectly aware that she was not silencing the gossip; 011 the contrary, she was certain that the Boldens would leave a trail of poisonous comment from the I'tarmi gan to Bear Tooth. It was all sweet material for them. Berrie wanted to know who was speakinc. and Mrs. McFarlane replied, "Mrs. Beldeu wanted to know if you got through all right." "She said something else, sometime: to heat you up." persisted the girl, who perceived her mother's agitation. "What did she say something alout me and Cliff?' The mother did not answer, for Way hind entered the rcoui at the moment, but Berrie knew that traducers were already busy w ith her affairs. "I don't care anything alout old lady Beldeu." she said later, "but I hate to have that Moore girl telling lies about me." (To Bp Continued.) ALLIES TO GIVE IS LAND FOR FIGHT ING FOR THEM London, Oct. 21 (1:52 a. m.) Great Britain has made a formal offer of the island of Cyprus to Greece as soon as Greece undertakes to intervene in the war on the side of the allies. The Daily Telegraph makes this announce ment this morning-. A Rome dispatch to the Daily Mail gives the report that the entente allies will send an ultimatum to Greece, in sisting that she define her position. Cyprus is the third largest island in he Mediterranean, sixty miles from he coast of Asia Minor. It was ad ministered until November 5, 1914, by Great Britain under a convention con cluded with the sultan of Turkey at Constantinople in 1878, but on the out break of hostilities with Turkey on the 'ormer date the island was annexed. The high commissioner, Major Sir J. E. Clauson. is assisted by an executive council. Cyprus has an area of 3,584 square miles and a population of nearly 300,000. Rhode Island Red Roosters for Sale.

There will ie no school at the Nor mal November 4. and 8. This will give an opportunity for who are interested to attend the State Teach ers" Association at Omaha. The Fortnightly Art Club was in strumental in bringing to Peru re cently a choice collection of original Japanese paintings, a part of the per manent art collection of Williams Col lege. Many students took advantage of this rare opportunity to make a study of Japanese art, and to enjoy vicwirf this fine collection of origi nals. On Friday, October 15th, our foot ball team met defeat in Omaha at the hands of Creighton University. The final score was 57 to 0. but the Peru boys are receiving much commenda tion for the courage and determin ation which characterized their play ing. Several pf the boys received painful injuries, but it is hoped that they will soon be back on the team. This semester the literary societies will meet only on each alternate Fri day nigt instead of very Friday night as heretofore. Both societies will meet on the same night, thus leaving the intervening Friday night open for social or other functions. On Friday evening, October 15th, the Senior girls entertained the Sen ior boys, the Sophomore class and the members of the faculty at an inform al party in the gjmnasium. About two hundred were in attendance, and the affair was an exceptionally pleas ant one. At the meeting of the State Normal Board in Kearney, October 13th a number of actions were taken that are of special interest to Peru students. An appropriation was made sufficient to install an indirect system of light ing in the Peru library. This library is one of the best of its kind anywhere in the west, and such an improvement is very appropriate. Money was also appropriated for the building of per menent seats in the big gymnasium sufficient to accommodate the largest crowds that will attend the various indoor athletic affairs. The most important and far-reaching movement that has been made for a long time is the establishment of a department or rural education with Supt. G. S. Brown, of Pana, Illinois, as its head.

TAKE A GLOOMY VIEW OF THE WAR SITUATION Non-Camhatants Looking Dismally The Enemy's Side Stand United. London, Oct. 20. "We are in a hole," says the military correspond ent of the Evening Standard, com menting on the present situation. "We have lost faith in the ability of our statesmen and in the stargetic con duct of the war and in the wiiljngness of the people to support the war; three or four very serious questions now exercise the minds of politicians and public alike and threaten to wreck the government; in France the best known minister has resigned; in Rus sia public opinion is badly shaken. Four great powers are foil of good will for one another, but each is a law unto itself. "On the enemy's side we find unity of purpose, singleness of control and constant willingness to sacrifice everything and take all risks. The Ger mans have been held up here and repulsed there, but they can claim that, whereas they have never been badly beaten anywhere s:i ce th bat tle of the Marne, they have ad le i Poland to their conquests and threat en to overrun Serbia." The writer goes on to argue that the only way for Great Britain to meet the situation is to cease attacks on her statesmen and face the facts with quiet determination. Samuel and William Mancley, of Lebanon, Kansas, are in the city for a short visit at the home of their sister, Mrs. L. H. Karnes and family.
