 The elderly man who had hailed the boy nodded. but with an evident an- noyance. It seemed that to him the others deferred as to a commanding officer. The cortege remounted and rode slowly toward the house. At last the elderly man came alongside the mule and inquired:
 Samson, where was ye last night?"
 "Thet's my business"
 "Mebbe hit ain't" The old noun taineer spoke with no resentment, but deep gravity. We've been powerful oneasy erbout ye. Hey ye heered the news?"
 What news?" The boy put the question noncommittally.
 Jesse Purvy was shot this morn- ing"
 The boy vouchsafed no reply.
 "The mail rider done told hit. :. Somebody shot five shoots from the laurel. .. . Purvey hain't died yit. Some says as how his folks has sent ter Lexington fer blood hounds"
 The boys eyes began to smolder hatefully.

 The boys voice dropped its softness and took on a shrill crescendo of ex- citement as he flashed out his retort.
 "Who said South has done busted the truce this time?"
 Old Spicer South gazed searchingly at his nephew.

oueerest Dance In the World.

The Godavari dance of the malay CTS, or drummers, of Malabar is very popular function when the native farmers are taking their ease after the hard work of harvest. The principal character is weird figure supposed to represent the sacred COW of the gods, Kamachenu. A small boy car ries this about while the other per formers, decked out in primitive fash ion with painted bodies and hideous masks, go through a weird dance, ac- companied by much drum beating and singing. Wherever 1t goes the COW is supposed to shower blessings and prosperity, and so, ostensibly to please the animal, but in reality to satisfy the dancers, presents of money, paddy or rice are given to the performers. This custom has been in existence from time immemorial and is likely to continue as long as agriculture en- dures among the Hindus of Malabar.- Wide World Magazine.

1 from the woods. She lifted her skirts and splashed her feet in the shallow creek water, wading consistently up and down. Her shyness was forgotten. The groan was groan of a human creature in distress, and she must find and succor the person from whom it came.
 Certain sounds are baff1ing as to di- rection. A voice from overhead or broken by echoing obstacles does not readily betray its source. Finally she stood up and listened once more in- tently-her attitude full of tense ear nestness.
 I'm shore fool" she announced, half aloud. "I'm shore plumb fool" Then she turned and disappeared in the deep cleft between the gigantic powder upon which she had been sit ting and another-small only by com parison. There, ten feet down, in a narrow alley filtered with ragged stones, lay the crumpled body of a man. It lay with the left arm doubled under it, and from a gash in the fore head trickled thin stream of blood. Also, it was the body of such man as she had not seen before.
 Although from the man came a low groan mingled with his breathing, it was not such sound as comes from fully conscious lips, but rather that of a brain dulled into coma.
 Freed from her lettering excess of shyness by his condition, the girl stepped surely from foothold to foot hold until she reached his side. She stood for moment with one hand on the dripping walls of rock, looking down while her hair fell about her face. Then, dropping to her knees, she shifted the doubled body into a leaning posture, strengthened the limbs, and began exploring with eff cient fingers for broken bones.
 She had found the left arm limp above the wrist, and her fingers had diagnosed a broken bone. But uncon- sciousness must have come from the blow on the head, where a bruise was already blackening, and a gash still trickled blood.
 She lifted her skirt and tore long strip of cotton from her single petti- coat. Then she picked her bare-footed way swiftly to the creek bed, where she drenched the cloth for bathing and bandaging the wound. When she had done what she could by way of first aid she sat supporting the mans shoulders and shook her head dubi- ously.
 Finally the mans lids fiuttered and his lips moved. Then he opened his eyes.
 "Hello!" said the stranger, vaguely. "I seem to have" He broke off. and his lips smiled. It was a friendly, un- derstanding smile, and the girl, fight

CHAPTER II.

Sally clambered lightly over the fence and started on the last stage of her journey, the climb across the young corn rows. It was a field stood on end, and the hoed ground was un- even; but with no seeming of weari- ness her red dress flashed steadfastly across the green spears, and her voice was raised to shout: Hello, Samson!"
 The young man looked up and waved a languid greeting. He did not remove his hat or descend from his place of rest, and Sally, who expected no such attention, came smilingly on. Samson was her hero. Slow of utterance and diffident with the stranger, words now came fast and f1uently as she told her story of the man who lay hurt at the foot of the rock.
 Hit hain't long now tell sundown." !" she urged. Hurry, Samson, an git yore mule. I've done give him my promise ter fotch ye right straight back"
 Samson took off his hat, and tossed the heavy lock upward from his fore head. His brow wrinkled with doubts.
 What sort of lookin' feller air her"
 While Sally sketched description, the young mans doubt grew graver.
 This hain't no fit time ter be takin' in folks what we haint acquainted with" he objected. In the mountains any time is the time to take in strang- CTS unless there are secrets to be guarded from outside eyes.
 "Why hain't it?" demanded the girl. Hes hurt. We kain't leave him layin' thar, kin wei"
 Suddenly her eyes caught sight of the rife leaning near by, and straight way they filled with apprehension. Her militant love would have turned to hate for Samson, should he have proved recreant to the mission of re- prisal in which he was biding his time, yet the coming of the day when the truce must end haunted her thoughts. She came close, and her voice sank with her sinking hea

upstream in silence. Finally Samson spoke slowly and diffidently.
 Stranger" he ventured, "ef hit hain't askin' too much, will ye let me see ye paint one of them things?" Gladly" was the prompt reply. Then the boy added covertly:
 Don't say nothin' erbout hit ter none of these folks. They'd devil me" !"

 Then they rounded point of tim Der and came upon a small party of men whose attitudes even in the dim ming light conveyed subtle sugges- tion of portent.
 "Thet you, Samson?" called an old mans voice. which was still very deep and powerful.
 Hello, Unc' Spencer!" replied the boy.
 Then followed a silence unbroken until the mule reached the group, re- vealing that besides the boy another man-and a strange man-had joined their number.
 "Evenin', stranger" they greeted him, gravely; then again they fell silent, and in their silence was evil dent constraint.
 "This hyar mans a furriner," an- nounced Samson, briefly. He fell

What Attracted Him.

A mother took her four-year-olds son to a restaurant for his first luncheon outside of the nursery at home. He behaved with perfect propriety, and watched the elaborate service with keen interest. When the finger bowls were placed on the table, he noticed the square white mint on the plate at the side of the bowl, and ex. claimed: "Oh, mother. look at the cunning little cakes of soap he brought us!"-Harper's Magazine.

 You must hev fell offen the rock" she enlightened.
 "I think I might have fallen into worse circumstances" replied the un- known.
 T reckon you kin set up after a little."
 Yes, of course" The man suddenly realized that although he was quite comfortable as he was he could scarcely expect to remain permanently in the support of her bent arm. He attempted to prop himself on his hurt hand and relaxed with a twinge of ex- treme pain. The color, which had be- gun to creep back into his cheeks, left them again, and his lips compressed themselves tightly to bite off an ex- clamation of suffering.
 "Thet air left arm air busted" an- nounced the young woman, quietly. We've got ter be heedful"
 Had one of her own men hurt him. self and behaved stoically it would have been mere matter of course; but her eyes mirrored pleased surprise at the strangers good-natured nod and his quiet refusal to give expression to pain. It relieved her of the neces- sity for contempt.
