THEIR BEST PEOPLE
BY LAWRENCE DEvINE.


Linfield meant to buy the old house
in that remote Mississippi county. He
held the option, and Colonel Jarrett
had courteously left him in charge fol
two weeks while lie went to New Or
leans to sell his tobacco. Linfield was
tired of city life; he wanted good
soil for the crops he intended to
plant, with hunting for his leisure
hours, and enough atmosphere to make
his next novel readable. Besides, his
people came from the south.
Then there was the girl--a shy, won
dering girl of about twenty years, who
took her hounds out walking every
day past Linfeld's gate. Linfield had
been set upon once by Tiger, and the
girls apologies opened the way for
an introduction. Linfield learned that
her name was Mary Gates, and that
her father, the major, and three broth
ers, lived in the big house mile away,
among the cotton-pickers' cabins.
Once, while they were talking, one
of the brothers rode by, and at the
sight of him the girl turned swiftly
aside, as though she had not spoken
to Linfield; yet, as the man rode by
Linfield could see that he half checked
his horse, with a frown on his face.
After that the girl only offered the
least nod.

the only other neighbor that Linfield
had-the man who brought the milk
and provisions from the town, four
miles away. Real southern gentry,
sir"
"Those brothers don't seem remark
ably friendly" said the writer

haven't any friendship for strangers.
Why, only last year there was fellow
down here from Nashville, staying
with Colonel Jarrett. Miss Mary used
to go past his gate, and sort of 1irta-
ion sprang up. She got talked about
you know country ways. The broth
ers came down with guns to shoot
lin up, but he got over the back fence |

hese wilds. Next time she passed he
rev her into conversation. In the
nidst of it hoofs were heard, and in
