left the car and approached the iron
gate which opened on to the granite
steps leading up the terrace. It was
now quite dark. Obeying a sudden
impulse, the old man irresolutely
passed by the gate and walked farther
up the street.
"Somehow I don't feel one bit like
it, he unused. Il couldn't tell Will
liam. He'd think I wanted to borrow
money an 'ud git skeerd right of. He
always was afeerd I'd mismanage.
An then I'd hate to Spite Adele's
visit, an she could tell thar was
some'n wrong by me bein' heer in sech
a furry. I reckon do show it. How
could a body hep it? Oh, my Lord,
have mercy! It's all gone. all-all men
Betsy has saved"
He turned at the corner Of his broth
er's property and slowly retraced his
halting steps to the gate, but he did
not pause, continuing his way back to-
ward the station. A glance at the
house showed that all the lower rooms
were lighted, as well as the big pris.
matte lamp that hung over the front
door. Bishop saw forms in light sum-
mer clothing on the wide: veranda.
':'I'l bet, that tallest one is Sis" he
said pathetically. X jest wish l could
see 'er a little while. Maybe it 'ud
stop this awful hurtin' a little jest to
look at 'er an beer 'er laugh like she
always did at home. She'd be brave;
she wouldn't cry an take on, but It
would hurt 'er away down In. 'er heart,
especially when she's .mixin' with sech
high tliers an money ,spenders. Lord,
.what'll do fer cash to send 'er next
month? I'm the land porest man In
my county"
Reaching the station, he inquired
about train to barley and was told
that one left at midnight. He decided
to take it and sat in one Of the iron
armed seats without moving till be
heard his train announced. Then he
went into the smoking car and sat
down in a corner.
he reached barley at half past in
the morning and went to the only hotel

rose from his lounge behind the coun-
ter in the Office and assigned him to a
room, to which colored boy, vigor-
ously rubbing his eyes, conducted him.
Left alone in his room, he sat down
on the edge Of his bed and started to
undress, but with sigh he stopped.
whats the use O. me lynn down al
most at daybreak?" he asked himself.
II mought as we'll be on the way home.
I cayn't sleep nohow."
Blowing out his lamp, he went down
stairs and reused the clerk again. Twill

"Why. no, Mr.. Bishop" said the clerk.
"Well, believe I'll start out home. "

in behind her husband, sweeping him

as he put down his gun and followed
her into the sitting room. Here the
two negroes stood against the wall.
Abner Daniel was smoking, and Bish-

Quivering knees.

leaves Of the tome. Il forgot whar l

"You didn't finish about Samson ty-

Abner Daniel as he knocked the hot

They all knelt reverently and yet
with some curiosity, for Bishop often
suited hiss prayers to important occa-

now allude to the subject bound up
within him. E.

CHAPTER Nv.

MYT was little after sunrise.
l8l ] The family had just left the
6@sy breakfast table when Bishop
yfSD walked in. His shoes and
trousers were damp with dew and COW
cred, with the dust of the road. His
wife saw him entering the gate and
called out to him from the hall:
well, I declare! Didn't you 60 to
Atlanta ?"
He tame slowly up the steps, drag
ging his feet after him. He had the ap-
pearance Of a man beaten by every
storm that could fall upon human
being.
Yes, I went" he said doggedly. He
passed her and went into the sitting
room, where his brother-in-iaw stood at
the fireplace lighting his pipe with a
live coal Of fire on the tip Of stick.
Abner Daniel looked at him critically.

farm workers. The landscape is mag

the valley below where the house is
built flows the river Gansa The view
shows nature in her most picturesque
dress-nature mingling at the same
time with mans conquest over nature
Through the lands of the Bjornsons
runs a tumbling brook, supplying wa

tured and turned into electricity to
illuminate not only the home, but also
the stables and outbuildings
Fru Bjornson is always close to her
husband. which is wise in her or in any
wife SO long as she does not bore the
husband. Ia beautiful Anlestad the
housekeeping, whether for two or for
twenty-five Bjornsons are noted for
