Vlltota and savage as I knew him to be, I still felt a strange wave of pity aweep ma —pity nnd tenderness, mingled witb hatred and distrust

"klrby," I said, and strode In be-'twees htm snd Tim's leveled weapon.

looking hlra squarely ta the eyes. "And then play the man. If you car* to live:"

I lingered there npon the outside (or a moment, bat (or a moment only. Th* advaoclhg cloud at savages were at ready coming np the slope, gradually spreading, ont tato the (arm ot a fan. The majority were mounted, although several straggled tbrwatd on foot Near their center appeared the omin-ous gleam of a red blanket, waved back and forth ss thongb in signal, but tbe distance was too great ;for ray ayes to distinguish the one maaipulat-tof It We were trapped, with onr twcks to the wall.

There were but \tm p^arattona to be ma<|e, and I gave smsll attentloa to Kliby nntll tbsse-had been hastily completed. The doar snd window ware barred, tbe powder and slogs brongbt up from below, the rifled loaded aad primed, the few loopholea betweea tbe logs opened, and a pail o( water ptoeed within easy reach. Thto waa all tbat oonld be done.

Kennedy made use of the fellow, ot dering him abont almost bratolly, aad klrby obeyed tbe commands wltbont

an'answering protest To all appeai>-aneea ha was aa eager as we in the preparations (or defense. Bnt he could not commsnd him; to even address the feltow would have been torture, (or even theo I was without (alth, with-out confldeace. Th* very sneaktagi coaranlly way In #hlch he acted did not appeal tb me as nstural. I conld not deny hto story—those approaching Indians alone were proD( that be fled trom a real danger; and yat-rond yet, to my mind b could not anything but tr<tachery. I but one deaire—to kick tlw crlnglnf cur.

I stood at a loophote watching tbe approaching savages. They bad halted Just/below the big tree, aod (oor or flve hal( hidden bj the huge trunk, wera In conanitotion. well beyond rifle shot Assocad by their attitude tbat fb(a attack would not be mada Immedt-ately, I ventured to tura my. lata slightly, and take flnal survey o( tb* room behind. Tim bsd stattoned him-self at the other side o( the door, hto eyes klncd td a narraw opening, both hands gripped on his gun. Blols* ahd the colored girl, the one dry-eyed and alert the other prone on the floor cry-ing, were whera I had told theiin to go, tato tba darkest comer. Tbd boy I did not aee, nor even ramember, bnt Klrby atood oo the bench, which en-abled bim to peer out tbrough tbe loop-hole in the window abutter. Wbat I noticed, however, was, that Instead of keeping watch without' bis eyea wera furtively wandering about tbe room, and, when they auddenly en-countered mtae, wara aa, laatantly averted.

"Wbera waa It you met tboa* la-dlana, Klrby T" I queeUoned atemly.

"Down the valley." "Last nlgtatr "Tbto morning: tbey sariMrtoed na ta

"Yes," a decidedly sullen tone, creep-ing tato hto voice. "Five pt Ibeia; ona araa a Wlbnetwgo." , ^ "And Rale was along, I • preaum*. What became of the otheraT'

"What Indtona were tbeyr "Saca mostly; some Foxes, bad inay-

deliberately lying, and yet tbera waa nothing In bis story which might not be true. No doubt It waa prejudice, personal hatred, an^ distrust which led IB* to come to this conclusion. Well, true or not I mesnt to seal tbat be fought now. '

"All right bnt I'advis* you to keep yoor 'eyea ontatM ' I aald steraly. "Don't b« staring about the cabin any more."

STATE MBKnMG HELD

Tbe (Kth aaaaa;! meatlag o( the HUaols Agrlealtaral aaaoelBtiion held at Peoria, Jaauary .18 aad H , was tb* mosf SlgBldeaikt meeting o( 11-llBote tarmen ever held. Thte te true haeause a strong raprasentatlve or-ganisatl6i| ta anmber. In abUlty. and ftaanolaUy baa h«en built up, and the atUtuda o( thea* men Is to work, *brk hard Bt their blr\probl*ms, with the b*Bt brains tney bave, keep ing tn mtad their obligation lo the public and society »-•« to steer clear ot partisan poUtlcs. These things wera slgnlllcant In mi of the talk and actions at the meeting. SUty-sU counUes qnblKied aad seated .de-legates at the meeting.

The report o( the secretary and all standtag commltfees waa an over wbelmtag mass o( evidencb o( what (armera Tan apcompttsn in their' or-gaalzatlon.' The Oteanlsatlon, Com-mittee reported a total o( 47,000 %i members. The laat r«port (rom tb*{ four county campalgna gotng on te aa (OUQWSI Champaign l l t l ' ; Pulton T»l: Shelby 4SS: and Paoria 7S1; making a total memberahip o( BO,-078.

Howard Leonard o( Euraka, Wood (ord county, waa eleo^ted preeahlent. Z. M. Holmes o( Peoria county, vlce-prosldent, and Oeorge Pox o( Syca-mora, DeKalb oounty, troasurer. The Baecutlva Committee (rom the Con-gressional District^ was elected as (oUows: District it, Hmiry Hc-Oough, Haple Park, ivanfe county; IS, H. T. Marshall, Seratta, LaSalle eoanty; 18, L. B. :i^rdsall, Sterltag Whlteesld* oounty; 14. RObt N. Clarke, Strooghurat, Henderaon coun ty; 16, J. W. Morgan, Oalvai, Henry county; 16, A. L.. Robinson, Pekln, Taaewell coanty; 17, a . C, Johnstone Btaomington, McLean county; 18, J. W. Robinson, Kansas, liiagar county; 19, A. A. HIU, Decaciir, Macpn coun-ty; 20, J. R. Pulkeraon, Jeneyvllle, Jersey county; 11, J. P.

Marketing will be th4 hlg work (br the new year. The Corp Orowera Committee recommended a grain growera markettag department and a budget o( 1100,00 Oto carry on the work. The Live 'wtock Committee urged a budget o( ft00,000 to car-ry on eight deflnlt* projeeta In re-lation to live stock marketing, The plan is to carry these products as close to tbe manufacturer and con-sumer as possible, «iimlnatlnK the speculator and reducing the heavy expense of markettag. The e((ect o( such work must be to establish steadier marketa (or produeera, to eliminate unnscessar/ handling costs by middlemen and -o nold the price down to consumera as low as pos-sible as is consistent with produc-tion costs.

The Rock Phosphate Committee reported that commercial fertiliser eoncerns are absorbing a large pro-portion of the grj&und rock from Tennessee mines. Watch will mean theria will be no supply (or Illinois farmers. It will mean a ciit In pro-duction. In view of this (act, the Committee Is attempting to contract for 69.000 tpns (or the use o( Illi-nois (armera next year. The Lime-stone Committee Will cbntract (or 500,000 tons. ',

One thousand (armers from almost every county in tbe state attended the meeting.

THB EXEMPTION POR DB^BKDENTS

la order to clear away mteunder-atandlnga as to what conaUtutes de-pendency. In eodneotion with the ad-dKlo^al exemption granted Income tax payera, CoUeet^r of ' Interiial Revenue J. L..Pickering today gave out the following .statement.

"Por 101* a taxpayer inay be al-loyred a credit of ^200 tor each per-soa (or: whom he Is tbe chle( sup-port. But It must be ramembered that he can'clalBA~ (bis additional exemp-tion only with raspect to childran seventeen^ j?eara ot age or younger and MTBons menu>:y defective, crIppMs and' Arsons old enouiib to be attbout question phyaieally In-eapaoltated (or self support.

If/t'h* taxpayer contrlhuiieB to the sapport of some ralatlve or other per son who Is ,*v*r seventeen years ot age. In f|ilr health, and still active, he eannot be allowed the additional 1200 even 1( he Is (urnlshing the chief sf.Dport

The very different /iqniramenta of the two exemptions ("head o( a fam ny" additional flOOO; "dependent" additional l>00) must nbt be con-tused. To be tbe "head of a (amlly" the person whom he supports must be a close relative, must live wl^h him, and he muat be snch rolatlve's sole support. To be entitled to ex-emption for "dependent" the per-son whom he supports doas not have to be a ralatlve, but can be any child or any cripple or defective, the^ ehild or Incapacitated adult may IWS anywhera; and It Is necessary that he furnish only mora than bait of the support.

The ehle(. dRterance Is that (or "head o( a (amily^- tba reatrlotlon is to close ralatives, tbe evident object o( which Is to promote the home, (or "dependent" the restric-tion Is to children under eighteen yeara of 'age or persons mentally or physically defective, the object o( which Is to reeognlssL material asste-tance given .to those who eannot help themselvas.

A son, who has lett, home, but who still sends to his mother more than bal( o( her support with enough ragutarity tbat she may depend upon It, ean beaUOwed tb* additional 1100 provided, however, that the mother has become sufficiently aged to be without doubt physically Incap^ielt-ated for. her self support. Otherwise, the amount contributed must be eon siderad as a gift, not deductible as an expense and not entitling him to the additional ezeihptlon ragardless ot amonnt.

A (ather may elalm the exemption (or every child under eighteen yeara o( age. B|it if one of hte ehildren receives, from some estate or other-wise, sufficient distributed income to provide (or the expense o( bis sup-port In the station o( IKe in which he te placed, the (ather cannot claim the exemption with rv«oect to that chUd, (or, although the child te legally dependent npon him, he te In (act (Inandally Independent."
