who was an old friend and one Of his
college classmates. The meeting af-
fortled the plainrst possible solution of
the authors problem, but he seemed
somehow quite unable to frame the
simple inquiries which would have
solved it. He reasoned that Ludlow
would misunderstood his motives; that
he would he accused of falling in love
with a pretty face; that if it would be-
indicate TO question strangers about
the girls identity, it would be mperti-
ncnce to ask his friend. So happened
that two days slipped by without bring
ing him any nearer to the object of his
visit to Tregarthcn, and he was be-
ginning to hold himself in derision,
when n lucky chance brought him the
opportunity for which he was waiting.
1t was on the day following his install
lation at T.udlow's, and he was return
ing from visit 10 the furnace with
his host. They stepped aside at mar
row place in the hill side road to let
buggy pass. Ringbrand lifted his hat
in Difference to his friends salutation
to the occupants of the vehicle. and
nearly let il fall when he realized that
he was face to face with the object Of
his search.
"Who are they?" he asked, as soon
as they had driven on.
That's Col. Latimer and his daugh-
ter Hester" replied Ludlow. "By the
way, IL you want to make character
studies, there's good chance for you.
The colonel's an old-time southern gem
tleman of the school that you authors
are always attempting to portray and
can't. Here's the opportunity of your
life to get a picture that'll be as good
as photograph"
II should be delighted to improve it"
responded Ringbrand; "can you sug-
gest the means?"
Nothing easier; though fancy it'll
be to our detriment. The coloners one
of our directors, and he was the orig
inal owner of the Tregarthen coal lands;
his hospitality is as wide as the heav-
ems. If introduce you he'll be carry
ing you off to The Laurels,' and we'll
lose you"
Don't be too sure of that; I'm pretty
comfortable where l am. But l should
like to make the colonels acquaint-
ance. Where is The Laurels?'"
ats up on the mountain, just where
you see that clear space beyond the
mine-opening. It's an old-fashioned
Tennessee home-wide verandas, big
rooms, immense fireplaces, and all that.
You could get lot of good material
out of the place-not to mention the
colonel and his son and Miss Hester"
"Yes, I suppose could; but, Ludlow,
be good fellow, now, and drop the
idea that I'm an animated interroga-
tion-point, going about with a Paul
Pry nose and reporters notebook.
Don't you see that hint of such a thing
would be likely to prejudice her from
the start?''
Prejudice whom? Miss Hester?
What's she got to do with it?"
"Why, nothing, of course-that is,
nothing that THAT she-Hang it all.
Ludlow, l believe I'm about to make a
fool of myself"
Ludlow stopped and gazed in open
moathed wonder at his friend. "Well,

to convince himself that the present adj
