Berrie and lior mother went back to
the sitting room, and Mrs. McFarlane
closed the door behind them. "Nov

tine of cno not to be denied.

of it. It will give them n chance at

another point. "When did Mr. Nor
cross get his fall?"
"Un the way back." Here r.errie
besilafed again. "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. Of course "Way
land couldn't ride, be was so dizzy and
kind o confused, and so I went into

about sunset Nash came riding up from
this side and insisted on etayins to

"No-
Mrs. McFarlane's tense attitude re
laxed. "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

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."

COMPAN Y
NOTES FROM PERU.
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. Mr. Brown has a nation-

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
