By EMERSON IIOI Gil. -
SYNOPSIS.

intermarriages of his country are sinful,
leaven for the outside world. His father,

with bloodshed. On recovery, Joslin gets

attentions the night before were Just fool
ing. She is under the spell of his unusual
character and bids him quit the city.
Hack home, he calls a meeting of all

as well as sinfulness of their practice, nml
converts them to his peace plan. The
If addons come hack. The husband is
drowned In falling from a boat. Marcia
assists Joslin in his plan for college.
(Continued From Saturday.)
"That's the talk!” said Absalom.
"We’ll all go out together. Davy,
tell me.” and he turned to him sud
denly. “who is it we’re a-fightin*
with?”
And David told him as well as he
might, suiting what he said to the
understanding of those who heard.
“Give us a day. sergeant, to fix
things up at home,” suggested Joslin
now. "We’ll not keep you long.”
CHAPTER X1H.
Tile hours dragged leaden for the
women, cooped up, silent, as in the
old blockhouse days, but for the men

horn in their ancient highland hlood.
spent the time rapidly enough. It
cost a certain resolution on the part
of David Joslin to call upon the
“furrin woman." but now he must
say good-bye. Therefore In time he
knocked at the door of Granny Wil
liams’ log house.
Marcia Haddon herself met him, as
though she had sent for him. "Come,’’
said she. But she led him not into
the house itself.
He walked at her side, silent, as
she directed her footsteps toward the
little steps cut into the foot of the
hill. They sat here, both looking out
across the valley to the hills beyond.
The woman’s gray eyes were wist
ful and sad. The eyes of the man,
resting everywhere but upon her face,
were also sad. lie did not turn to
look at her at all—apparently did not
note the increasing goodliness of her
figure and her rounder contours, the
browner coloring of her cheek. She
was a very comely woman, Marcia
Haddon. young, but wiser than she
once had been—more impulsive also,
less cold. less reserved. Tt was as
i tough she entered a new stage of
womanhood, as yet denied her in her
chill years of self-repression. Never
until now Mad she really krjpwn the
awakening of woman. Virginal, warm
ing. fluttering, she was not married
woman or widow now: she was>a girl,
a gill at the brink of life. Oh! how
vast and sweet the revealing plan
seemed now to her.
"Well, you’re going out." said she
ar last, the first to break the silence.
"Yes. I'm going out.” His voice
was low and deep. It seemed to her
that she now for the first time real
ized its own vibrancy.
At last: "What will become of the
work here?” she began.
“1 can’t tell as to that. Mrs. Had
don.” said he. "It must wait." She
made no reply, and he went on:
"You see, ail my life has been pretty
much the same thing. I've always
had to look ahead and did not dare
look at things lietween. Once this
school up here on the hill was all I
looked at—and there wasn't anything
between. There’s other work afoot
that's even bigger, now. Maybe after
that I'll be fit for this."
"You've done wonderfully well. It’s
scarce less than a miracle—liow
you’ve got on."
“At least I've told you all about
myself,” said lie after a time. "I’ve
nothing more to say—now or at any
other time.”
“You need say nothing.” she re
joined. "Life goes hard for all of us
sometimes ” She was conscious of
her banality, but found herself, or so
often, dumb In her largest emotions.
"It was a hard enough start." he
assented. "It's hard enough for all
of n« In here. I’m not so old.”
"No. You only seem old to me. I
suppose that’s because you have had
to do so much In so short a time.
Rut I’m older, too. It’s a sad coun
try—did you ever stop to think how
few people smile, down here in these
mountains?” ,
"Yes. I know; and you know, now
Well, I suppose you'll go away and
forget us. We've been forgotten,
more than a hundred years. That's
hard—to he forgotten."
“Do you think that of me?” she
said, still staring straight down the
valley.
"I hardly know what to think of
you," said he, deliberately. "You are
not like any woman I ever knew.”
He flushed, suddenly remembering he
had told her he never had known but
three women in his life.
"Well, be fair, at least. Re sure
you know my point of view. This
work ought not to stop.” She was
trying to look at him from the corner
of her eye.
."The Lord lias built that building
up on the hill, Mrs. Haddon," answer
»d David Joslin. “I suppose the Lord
will continue It or destroy it. Blessed
he the name of the Lord.'-’
She half turned her face toward him
row as she replied.
"I've told you I've been a useless
woman all my life. Well, Just the
other day I saw a child—a little child,
out. In the hills—it lived wild. In a
< ave. I held its hand right In mine,
this way—don’t you see? And then.
1 thought, there were hundreds of
them—hundreds, all through these
hills.” She was flushing.
’ Yes," said he; "many hundreds.”
"Then I thought of tho money that's
mine, that maybe oughtn't ail to lie
mine. You see, I've counsel—lawyers
that sort of thing—men who would
help me in anything I asked. Sup
pose we had some more buildings,
and plenty of teachers after a time?”
He did not make any answer at all,
and she was obliged to go on un
aided.
"In this awful time of the world,,
Mr. Joslin," said she. “every one
ought to be useful. We’ll need more
good citizens in America. All of us
women ought to work In some way.
The country must go on, until we’ve
won. Where could I he more useful
than here? Don't you think I could

keep the work going some way until
—until you came back, David Joslin?”
Still he did nt answer, and still she
went on, struggling somewhat desper
ately with his native reticence and
her own.
“Why, they say this is a war for
democracy, don’t you know? And
where could we fight better for democ
racy? Wasn't that your ambition—
wasn't that your dream?”
"Yes!” suddenly he exclaimed,
hoarsely. "That was my dream! You
know how it ended—you know why.
1 killed my own school; you know
how."
"Yes—you've spoken very freely.
It's just as well. These are days
when there's no time to be lost. And
I'd like you to know, at least how
much I've marveled at what you've
done.”
"Marveled!” said hp. "It's I who
have marveled. But what you say—
if you could keep the school going—
why. that’s a miracle”
"Well." said Marcia Haddon quiet
ly. "you’ve always spoken of miracles
as matter of course.”
"Maybe we'd better not talk much
more,” said he after a time, long
silences seeming natural now. "I
told you 1 wasn't through. I've
sinned, and I'll repent. I'm ignorant
—but I'm going out now to get the
rest of my education. If I am spared
. sometime , . . I've told you
about the other woman tip there." he
finished, anguished. "As you know'
—she’s dead.”
“Is she dead forever. David Joslin?”
asked Marcia Haddon quietly. The
color in her own cheek was warm.
"Yes, forever. And I’ll not speak
any ill of her memory."
"Nor 1 of the memory of the man
that’s dead.” said she slowly. "It's
life, I suppose."
"Yes, that's life! And I want it—
all. every bit of it, all that any man
ever coveted or had—all of a man's
dues in life. Yes. I want it—all!"
He spoke now with u sudden fierce
ness, his gray eyes afliuue in a way
she had not seen, that indomitable
ness of the inner man now showing
through as never yet she had seen
him, so that she felt a thrill, a shock,
us of some vast, measureless dynamo
of power suddenly awakening. "All
life is the same thing. It's all an edu
cation, all a growing—God! Give me
my chance to grow! Let me get
ready, so I can deserve. I’ve been
hungry all my life—hungry for the
world—hungry for my education—
hungry for all a man's life—love, hap
piness. content, power, usefulness.
I’m hungry for this war. even, be
cause I know' it will teach me some
thing or leave me at last at peace.
I’ve not known peace. I've lived in
torment—I'm in torment now. But
I'll come back bigger and better if-1
ever come back at all. Life—why
life—"
"If I could do something in the
meantime—while you were out there
—why I'd be the happiest woman in
all the world. Yes, I! And I d said
good-bye to happiness, the same as
you." Her eyes were soft now. '
"If I thought that could be,” ho
answered slowly, "I d know the end
even of this war—I'd know the end
of my own fight—I'd know that jus
tice and good do triumph over all ami
through all. Oh. what a dream! And
for my people—the forgotten, the
mocked, the helpless ones. If I—if
you and I—”
“I'm going now,” he concluded, long
later. "These are things in which
I can’t give you counsel. You are the
one real woman I ever knew in all mv
narrow life—the one real woman. 1
reckon I've seen them all now. l
wanted to tell you that, before I went
away—I had to tell you! If only I
had lived so that you wouldn't think
so ill of me. Oh, my God! Always I
do the evil thing when I would do the
right. I'm so Impatient. It's so hard
for me to be patient now."
He rose and stood facing straight
ahead. The twilight now was falling
softly upon the-hills. Sounds came
from the street below—sounds unwel
come.
"Good-bye." said he suddenly. ' Til
lpve you all life!"
"Going?" Her voice seemed not yet
to accept it after all. She half raised
a hand. The blood of her cheek surged
back
"Yes—to finish my education!"
He stalked away, never looking
back.
She sat alone now, still gazing out
across the hills, at a new antf wider
world than any she had ever known.
The sound on the street below be
came more audible, wafted by a
change in the evening air. She knew
that there was forming yonder a pro
| (esslon of men w ho presently w ould
| paFS out around the shoulder of the
lilll at the end of the street. And
[then at last she heard fully the throb
cf the drum, the keening of the fife.
The men of the Cumberlands were
marching out Into the world. He was
at their head—going out for his or
deal. going out to grow, to get ready
—to deserve, as he had said. What
a man he would be—what a man he
was!
Marcia Haddou suddenly reached
out her arms, her gesture following
the marching men, as though some
thing of her own had gone out with
them. She sat. until she knew not
whether she heard the throb of a pass
ing drum or felt the pulse of a new
heart, beating high and strong. Her
work lay at hand—out there, on tlie
hills where the gaunt buildings grew-.
And on ahead—was it life, as sweet as
It was earnest and compelling, that
rested yonder—on the heights nhead?
THE END.
Builtin Features (iain
Favor in Modern Homes
Builtin features have gained great
favor in the modern home, there be
ing several reasons for this, accord
ing to a representative of the Build
ers Sideboard company. 115 Fifth
street, N. E.. “In the first place.”
said he. "the tendency nowadays is
for conservation of space, and we all
know that built in features eliminate
waste space and make double use
of space possible. Moreover builtin
features, such as sideboards, linen
closets and other ‘disappearing equip
ment.’ for all conceivable uses, are
timcsavers ofl the first rank in the
household, and people who build in
these days are efficient builders. They
build with an eye to the future con
venience and comfort in the home.”
Bureau Necessary Piece of
Furniture in Small Home
in these days of small apartments
and the tendency of the times for
smaller rooms, the dweller suddenly
discovers the lack or absence of closet
room.
And here the handy bureau, be it
large or small, stands a welcome piece
of furniture.
Into it can be put gowns, hat. wraps
and shoes when other available space
is tacking.
And for the woman who has ample
bedroom furnishings and finds her
self in new quarters where there is
closet room to put them, the bureau
proves its worth.
Besides, a bureau is always an at
tractive and useful piece of furniture
in any home.
Neutral Soap Best for
White Enamel Furniture
If your white furniture is not en
ameled it should be washed a little
at a time with sansoap. If it is en
ameled, a neutral soap should be
used. Each spot as it is washed, j
should be thoroughly dried.

A slow daily poisoning that wrecks
even the strongest constitution—
*
The first symptoms may not seem
alarming. Headache—a touch of indi
gestion—an “off-day” every week or
so—thousands of people don’t even
suspect that anything serious is devel
oping.
Then comes the day when growing
i'^-health and irritability lead them to
their doctor’s office. The examination
—and the verdict: chronic disease has
already fastened upon them.
And when they ask the reason —
“ Constipation,” says the doctor. “ Day
by day it has been distilling poisons
into your blood. Your body is never
free from them. This is the result.”
The real reason why thousands suffer
Constipation is becoming more common
every year. Our whole way of living is
unnatural today.
Our work demands less and less
physical exertion. And instead of the
coarse, raw foods of the forest for which
our bodies were built, modern civiliza
tion demands a more delicate, concen
trated diet, which leaves the muscles of
our intestines with no real work to do.
Day by day these muscles get softer
and flabbier. There is nothing to stim
ulate them to a complete thorough
removal of the waste which the body
produces constantly every day. Conse
quently, even though they may act
with fair regularity, they are often
leaving much of the waste behind, to
decay and form phenol—one of the
deadliest poisons known.
Useless to try to blast a nay through
Drugs and cathartics are worse than
useless, for their artificial irritation
weakens the intestines still more—till
at last the muscles refuse to respond
at all.

Yeast does to the muscles of your intestines—
gists them normal, he*ilthv exercise
Theonly way rocure constipation
permanently is by exercising the in
testinal musclesas Nature intended.
That is why physicians and hospitals
arc prescribing Fleischmann's Yeast
today - not as a medicine but as a fresh
corrective food which gives the intes
tinal muscles regular, natural exercise.
Every cake of Fleischmann’s Yeast
consists of millions of tiny living
Day by day Fleischmann's Yeast builds up tlic flabby muscles of the
intestines exactly as regular exercise builds up the muscles of your arm
plants, which mix with the waste prod*
ucts in the colon, softening them and
increasing the bulk of the waste. This
greater bulk gently encourages the
muscles to act, and at the same time
strengthens them by offering just the
resistance they need.
Your own physician will heartily endorse
this principle of regularly exercising the intes
tinal muscles as the only way to relieve con
stipation and all its evils.
Be sure you get Fleischmann's Yeast—yeast
in its natural fresh form. Recent experiments
have shown that yeast corrects constipation
only when its cells are alive and active—and
that it loses its power when these cells are
•'killed” and dnsd.
Fleischmann's Yeast is in no sense a purga
tive and docs not produce immediate violent
action. It is a nourishing food—not digestion
disturbing medicine—and like any other food,
it must be eaten regularly to secure results.
Eat at least 2 or 3 cakes a day—plain or
dissolved in water, milk or fruit juices—prefer
ably half an hour before a meal, or the last
thing at night. If you eat it plain, follow with
a glass of water. Get several cakes at a time—
they will keep in a cool, dry place for several
days. Be sure you get Fleischmann's Yeast.
All grocers have it.
