‘Under The Winter Star’- Part Three (The Story: A> Wallace, the young mountaineer who is search ing for the great mica vein he is certain lies in the slopes of the Winter Star, made a lasting enemy when he cut off his courtship with Verba Williams. ..Scheming ... for revenge, ' she has successfully goaded her new beau, summer resident Max Ish, tfnto a '• fight with Al). ,- fc j| BY W. !L. (CUSS) RATBBURN Automatically the small tide of humanity flowed toward the open door, and all save Max and Al stopped on the platform. No sooner than they were on the ground, Max rushed at Al, and, with a swinging blow, drew blood from the corner of Al’s mouth. Al. grinning cynically,' and showing pearly white teeth, warded ofif Max’s attempted fol low-us, and squared himself for the opportunity he expected. It came when Max rushed in as though he expected no resistance from his opponent. 'AI threw a powerful uppercut, throwing.his adversary off J balance, and at the same time followed uP with a wicked right to Max's mid section. doubling him up, and, while Max was flailing the air, Al caught him again on the point of the chin,, sending him into a spin. Max, recoperrng quickly, rushed Al again. Al was waiting for this, and, with a hard right to the jaw, staggered Max who was now bleeding at the mouth. A*, seeing his advantage follow ed with some damaging 'blows to the rib-cage, and took a savage blow to the head. Neither man heard the shouts, laughs and gasps of the crowd. Nor did they hear Lola’s pleas for someone to stop the fight. A wavy lock of dark brown was now hanging over Al’s left eye, and, as he tossed it back with a tilt of the head, Max hit him squarely in the mouth), but ap parently got ,the worst of it, for now he shook blood from his fist, and grimaced as though it pained him. Al was furious now, and closed in with hammering blows to Max’s face. Presently, Max reeled from the effect, and Al went in for the kill. Two hard blows in rapid succession to ~ the chin and nose of Max apparently stunned him, and a terrific right to the solar Plexis sent him to the dirt where he lay, unmoving. Virgil Summers brought a pail of water from a nearby spring, and quickly revived Max, while Lola dabbed at Al’s face with a handkerchief. Verba was nowhere to be seen. Dan Stovall, a deputy sheriff, drove up just as Max got to Ms feet, and wanted to know what .was going on.

Hundreds of thousands of Amer icans are busy right now planning for a trip abroad. They know they can miss the busy tourist seasons a other lands; they may be able. to save money through off-season rates on planes and ships and in' hotels. Es you’re planning a full vacation, keep in mind a few pointers that will help to insure that your trip is a pleasant, healthy journey.

Max was grounded, and was on his way tv,<* to the tourist colony when Hank MurPhy, the blacksipith from Brunstown came along and gave him a lift. < . “Where ye live, young feller?’’ Hank asked as Max settled him self on the seat beside him. “At the colony,’’ Max told lrim.” “Good! You can save me hunt in’ all over thunderatlon for George Shaeffer—Got a Iron gate fer him back there.” . you follow the rides on this form. Ask your doctor whether you’ll need any other shots, such as 1 typhoid. And while you’re getting your ' shots, ask your doctor to give you a general physical checkup. II you j take regular medications, make ’ sure of your supply while away from hime. Medications for motion sideness and intestinal disorders also can help avoid considerable discomfort. Check up on what to exPect from WHEN AUTUM PAINTS THE HILLS When God viewed his new creation, The world to estimate it’s worth; He called upon his artist, Autumn. To tlend heaven and earth. How to make such great per fection Then they began to muse: What should be the character istics? What colors should they use? Snowy clods of white for virtue: Crimson oak sin to refine. For vwdant green of life forever They chose the hemlock and Pine. For faith and mercies without number; For love and charity and hopes untold.

I’m a-ferred” Hank said, sorry that he had brought up the subject. “First house on your right,” Max said as he got out of the car. The Cormack Boundary began where civilisation ended, and rose 2,000-feet above tlie valley floor to where the summit of the Blade Range pushed its fir-forested peaks into the clouds. It com prised a vast wilderness of ser rated ridges strewn with boulders, gray with the moss of time which slept beneath a coverlet Rhododen dron striving to hide the scars caused by ancient upheavals when the Appalachians were in the mak ing. Shadowed dells, glens and ravines resounded with the Plung ing roar of cataracts as they churned into effervescence the copious flow of streamlets gorged with liquid snow. A scattering of spruce and hem lock guarded by bastions of granite vied with time and storm like the mountain goat that takes refuge from man, and clings to life only inasmuch as it makes difficult the approach of the hun ter. Amid this primeval paragon of grandeur a phenomenon known as The Winter Star vacillated between glamor and tears. According to an old Indian le legend The Star of Winter was a gift of The Groat Spirit so that the Red man might foretell the coming of spring. It was Chief Maro-Eerv-Orboha (Fire In The Eye) who tobl the first settlers to cross the Blue Ridge how they might know when spring would come to Snow Val ley. Said he: “SPring no come Snow Valley till ice go from Star of Winter. When Star no make tear, no plant urn crop.” It was one of Wallace’s an cestors who listened to the old chief, and helped to keep alf/ve the legend that persists to this day. It was still another Scottish I forbear that acquired this vast acreage from the State and gave 1 it its name. It was this same near relative who lost this wilderness domain to the acquisitive Aaron Will iams through a stroke of mis fortune, and by the clever con nivance of its owner. Wallace had often heard his uncle Walt Cormack relate trrei circumstances under which Aaron Williams had, by foreclosing on a mortgage, acquired the deed he now held. So, it was with these thoughts in mind that Wallace disobeyed the “keep off” signs that morn ing.
