The Encounter.

The Encounter.
Betty Malroy had ridden into the
squires yard during the progress OF
the trial and when Yancy and Han
nibal came from the house she beck
oned the Scratch Hitler to her.
You are not going to lose your
nephew, are you, Mr.. Yancy?" she
asked eagerly, when Yancy stood at
her side.
mo, ma'am" But his sense OF ella
ton was plainly tempered.
81 am very glad. l rode out to the
Hill to say good-by to Hannibal and
to you, but they said you were here
and that the trial was today"
Captain Murrell, with Crenshaw and
the squire. came from the house, and
Murrells swarthy face lit up at sight
of the girl Yancy would have yield
ed his place, but Betty detained him.
Are you going away, ma'am? he
asked with concern.
"Yes-to my home in west Tennes-
see," and cloud crossed her smooth
brow.
But amt you ever coming back,
Miss Betty" asked Hannibal rather
fearfully.
"Oh, hope so, dear" She turned
to Yancy. II wonder you don't leave
the Hill, Mr.. Yancy. You could SO
easily go where Mr.. Bladen would
never find you. Haven't you thought
of this?"
That are a pint" agreed Yancy
slowly. Might | ask you what parts
you'd specially recommends" lifting
his grave eyes to hers.
1T would really be the sensible
thing to do" said Betty. II am sure
you would like west Tennessee-they
say you are a great hunter" Yancy
smiled almost guilty.
"Mr. Yancy, II you should cross the
mountains, remember live near
Memphis. Belle Plain is the name OF
the plantation-it's not hard to find;
Just don't forget-Belle Plain"
81 won't forget, and mebby you Will
see us there one of these days. Sho,
I've seen mighty little OF the world
about as far as dog can trot In q
couple Of hours!"
Betty glanced toward the squire
and Mr.. Crenshaw. They were stand
ing near the bars that gave entrance
to the lane. Murrell had left them
and was walking briskly down the
road toward CrenshaW'S store, where
his horse was tied. She bent down
and gave Yancy her slim white hand.
"Good-by, Mr.. Yancy-lift Hannibal
so that l can kiss him!" Yancy swung
the child aloft. Il think you are such
a nice little boy, Hannibal-you

down. and then snaked Dave Blount
out over the Wheel"
Who struck the first blow?"
He did. He struck at me with his
buggy whip"
Squire Balaam removed his spec
tacles and leaned back in his chair.
IT'S the opinion of this here cot
that the whole question OF assault
rests on whether Bob Yancy saw the
order. Bob Yancy swears he didn't
see it, while Dave Blount swears he
showed 1t to him. If Bob Yancy didn't
know of the existence of the order he
was clearly actin on the idea that
Blount was stealth his nevvy, and he
done what any one would have done
under the circumstances. II, on the
other hand, he knowed of this order
from the cot, he was not only guilty
of assault, but he was guilty OF re-
sistin an officer OF the cot" The
squire paused impressively. His audi
ence drew a long breath.
Can a body drap word here?"
1t was Uncle Sammy's thin voice that
cut into the silence.
Certainly, Uncle Sammy. This
here cot will always admire to listen
to YOU"
We'll, I'd like to say that | con-
slider that Fayetteville cot mighty Of
ficious with its orders. This part OF
the county won't take nothtn' of
Fayetteville! We don't interfere with
Fayetteville, and blamed II we'll let
Fayetteville interfere with us!"
There was a murmur of approval.
Scratch Hill remembered the rifles in
IFS hands and took comfort.
THE Fayetteville cot air higher
cot than this, Uncle Sammy" ex-
planned the squire indulgently.
I'm aweer Of that" snapped the
patriarch I've seen hits steeple."

asked the squire deferentially.
Il low l am. But | low that If
this here case is goin' again Bob
Yancy I'd recommend him to go home
and not listen to no mo- foolishness."
"Mr. Yancy will oblige this cot by
setting still while | finish this case"
said the squire with dignity. Mr..
Yancy has sworn to one thing, Mr..
Blount to another. Now the Yancys
air an old family in these parts; Mr..
Blount's folks air strangers. Conse-
quently," pursued the squire, some

PLAIN LINES MOST POPULAR
This Seasons Linen Suits Are Mace
With None or Very Little
Trimming.

While the coarser linens are usel,
those made of the finer twisted thread
are liked quite as WELL Very little
trimming is needed. The lace collar
and cuffs or the lingerie frill at neck
and wrists suffice, though, Of course,
buttons and buttonholes, lace and en-
broidery may figure as trimmings.
Oddly of cut is, however, the only
thing necessary for those who wish
something different. 1t is surely dill
ferent enough to have the back OF the
coat and skirt cut across on the bias
or otherwise manipulated. Yet, suhh
| manipulations offer no difficulties TO
the laundress. These suits may be
made coat and skirt fashion or in tie
coat and dress effect. Both styles
have their good points, many consid-
ering the former the most economical
since a fresh blouse may be donned
as often as the wearer pleases. And
sleeves and necks do have a way OF
becoming soiled before it is necessary
to send the entire dress to the laun-
dry.
Many dresses are being made, too,
in linen and kindred weaves. The se'
verify of these all-in-one gowns is be-
ginning to disappear. While the puifS
seen on taffetas are not available there
are pipings, inlayings and bands in
contrasting fabrics.
Fancy linens and linens with open
| work borders are effectively utilized,
though one who is at all clever at de-
signing will be able to achieve very
fine suits with the plain sorts. It's
the design, cut and finish that counts,
| also the accessories. One girl, for ex-
ample, is to look smart in her white
linens this summer; the only color
she is to add is sapphire or coral. as
the spirit may move her. Whether she
chooses the blue or the odd pink
shade she will wear it in the shape OF
silk stockings, ribbon watch fob ana
necktie, and no other color VIII ap-
pear except she chooses to carry
parasol in the color she is wearing

Glass Buttons.

Glass buttons are quite the fashion,
and come in all colors and sizes; they
are a distinctive mark of this seasons
suit wherever seen. Red and black
ones are shown in two sizes; these
have the appearance of bone; others
resemble clouded amber beads, and
are appropriate for the most dressy
gown; others come in transparent
crystal of all shades, dark and light
blue. green and black; and in black
there are those which look like shoe
buttons. Mother-of-pearl buttons are
also largely in demand, square ana
round; the large square ones with nat
surfaces, are % cents each.

Wired Feathers for Hats.

AS the hats are all trimmed very
high wired feathers arranged to sew
on hats may be purchased, and flow
ers also in pompon effects. One OF
these feather tower effects costs $3.50;
others are near the one dollar margin;
the price varies according to the quail
ity and kind of feathers. Aigrettes are
are still in evidence, though more In
white than black. In buying white
ostrich feathers of the less expensive
grade it is we'll to run ones hand

For the Summer Resort.

The very thin negligees are so de
lightful that one sometimes forgets
they may not be practical, for many
summer resorts are cool at night and
in the early hours of the day, and for
these places 1t is better to take some
thing of heavier weight. such as an
albastross negligee. These may be hac

made with valeciennes insertion and
edging and in pastel colors. The
sleeves are finished with deep cum ~
dotted Swiss and lace.

LAW at RaIaam,s Cross Roads.

Law at Balaam's Cross Roads.
But Mr.. Yancy was only at the be-
dnning of his trouble. Three days
later there appeared on the borders
of Scratch Hill a gentleman armed
with a rifle. It was Charley BALKAN,
old Squire Balaam's nephew.
"Can / see you friendly, BOD
Yancy?" BALKAN demanded with the
lungs of a stentor, sheltering himself
behind the thick bole of a sweetgum,
for he observed that Yancy held his
rife in the crook of his arm.
II reckon you can, Charley BALKAN,
If you are friendly" said Yancy.
I'm a-going to trust you, Bob" said
BALKAN. And forsaking the shelter
of the sweetgum he shuffied up the
slope.
How are you, Charley?" asked
Yancy. as they shook hands.
..Only lust tolerable, Bob. You've
been warranted-Dave Blount swore
hit on to you" He displayed sheet
~ naper covered with much writing
and decorated with large seal.
"Read IT," he said mildly. BALKAN
scratched his head.

Az this juncture Uncle Sammy's

CHAPTER LII. fcontlnuedl.

The next day Yancy had occasion
to visit Balaam's Cross Roads. Cren-
shaw gave him disquieting opinion
as to the probable contents OF his let
ter, for he himself had heard from
Bladen that he had decided to as
sumo the care of the boy
II reckon Bladen will have the law
on his side, Bob!"
1.-The law be damned-I got what's
fair on mine | don't wish TO- better
than that" exclaimed Yancy, over his
shoulder. He strobe from the store
and started down the sandy road at
brisk run. Miserable forebodings OF
an impending tragedy leaped up with
in him, and the miles were many
that lay between him and the Hill.
AS he breasted the slope he came
within sight of little group In his
own dooryard. Saving only Uncle
Sammy Bellamy, the group resolved
itself into the women and children OF
the Hill, but there was one small
figure he missed. The patriarch hur-
ried toward him, leaning on his cane
They've took your nevvy, Bob!" he
cried, in a high, thin voice.
who's took him." asked Yancy
hoarsely.
Hit were Dave Blount. Get your
gun, Bob, and go after him-kill the
miserable sneaking cuss!" cried Uncle
Sammy. by the Fayetteville Road,
Bob, not ten minutes ago-you can
cut him off at Ok Road forks!"
Yancy breathed sigh Of relief. A
rifle was placed in Yancy's hands.
Thank you-all kindly" said Yancy,
and turning away he struck Off
through the pine woods. A brisk walk
of twenty minutes brought him to the
Ok Road forks.
He had not long to wait, for pres
emily the buggy hove in sight. AS the
buggy came nearer he recognized his
ancient enemy in the person of the
man who sat at Hannibals side, and
stepping into the road seized the
horses by their bits. At sight of him
Hannibal shrieked his name in de-
light.
Uncle Bob-Uncle Bob" he cried.
"Yes, it's Uncle Bob. You can light
down, Nevvy."
Lego them horses!" said Mr..
Blount.
Light down, Nevvy," said Yancy,
still pleasantly.
Hannibal instantly availed himself
of the invitation. At the same mo-
ment Blount struck at Yancy with his
whip. and his horses reared wildly
thinking the blow meant for them.
Seeing that the boy had reached the
ground in safety, Yancy relaxed his
hold on the team, which instantly
plunged forward. Then as the buggy
swept past him he made a grab at
Blount and dragged him out over the
wheels into the road, where he pro-
ceeded to fetch Mr.. Blount a smack
in the jaw. Then with final skilful
kick he sent Mr.. Blount sprawling.
Don't let me catch you around these
diggings again, Dave Blount, or l
swear to God I'll be the death OF
you!"
Hannibal rode home through the
pine woods in triumph on his Uncle
Bob's mighty shoulders.

ssroes Are Popular.

Serges are prime favorites Ior the
tailored suits. Poiret uses these mod
ish materials for a number OF his best
creations. Whipcords in two-tone col
ors in a great variety of qualities are
also popular. Tans, grays and ouii
blues are the leading shades.
The interest in white, cream and
fancy woven serges increases as the
season advances.
