CHAPTER III.

In days when the Indian held the Dark and Bloody Grounds a pioneer

Since to the discovered be- longs the christening, that watercourse became Crippleshin, and so it is today set down on atlas pages.

Together they had found one of the two gaps through the mountain wall, which for more than a hundred miles has no other passable rift. To- gether and as comrades, they had made their homes and founded their race, What original grievance had sprung up between their descendants none of the present generation knew perhaps it was farm line or disputed title to pig. The primary incident was lost in the limbo of the past; but for fifty years, with occasional inter-

tie of marriage, under the protection of the clan head. She lived alone with her fourteen-year-old son and her six teen-year-old daughter. The daughter was Sally.
 The sun rose on the morning after Lescott arrived, the mists lifted, and the cabin of the Widow Miller stood revealed. A tousle-headed boy made his way to the barn to feed the cattle, and a red patch of color, as bright and tuneful as a Kentucky cardinal. appeared at the door between the morning-glory vines. The red patch of color was Sally.
 She. made her way, carrying a bucket, to the spring, where she knelt down and gazed at her own image in the water.
 Before going home she set down her bucket by the stream, and, with a quick glance toward the house to make sure that she was not observed, climbed through the brush and was lost to view She followed a path that her own feet had made, and after a steep course upward came upon bald face of rock, which stood out storm battered where a rift went through the backbone of the ridge. This point of vantage commanded the other val ley. Down below, across the treetops, were a roof and a chimney from which thread of smoke rose in an attenu- ated shaft. That was Spicer South s house and Samson's home. The girl leaned against the gnarled bowl of the white oak and waved toward the Yoof and chimney. She cupped her hands and raised them to her lips like one who means to shout across great dis tance, then she whispered so low that only she herself could hear:
 Hello, Samson South!"
 She stood for space looking down, and forgot to laugh, while her eyes grew religiously and softly deep, then, turning, she ran down the slope. She had performed her morning devotions.
 That day at the house of Spicer South was an of day. The kinsmen who had stopped for the night stayed on through the morning. Nothing was said of the possibility of trouble. The men talked crops and tossed horse shoes in the yard; but no one went to work in the fields, and all remained within easy call. Only young Tama- rack Spicer, a raw-boned nephew, wore a sullen face and made great show of cleaning his rife and pistol. Shortly after dinner he disappeared, and when the afternoon was we'll ad- vanced Samson, too, with his rife on his arm, strolled toward the stile.

possibility of sleep. Samson. too, seemed wakeful, and in the isolation of the dark room the two men fell into conversation, which almost lasted out the night. Samson went into the con- fessional This was the first human being he had ever met to whom he could unburden his soul.
 The thirst to taste what knowledge lay beyond the hills; the unnamed wanderiust that had at times brought him a restiveness so poignant as to be agonizing; the undefned attuning of his heart to the beauty of sky and hill; these matters he had hitherto kept locked in guilty silence.
 In cove or lowland pocket stretch ing into the mountain side, lay the small and meager farm of the Widow Miller The Widow Miller was a "South;" that is to say, she fell, by

How Suckers Bite.

One Sunday morning, on his way to church, a deacon observed a boy industriously fishing. After the lad had landed several. he approached and said: My son, don't you know it is very wrong to catch fish on the Sab- bath day? And. besides, it is very cruel to impale that poor, helpless beetle upon that sharp hook.' Said the boy: "Oh, say. mister, th4s is only an imitation! It ain't a real bug" Bless mel" replied the dea- son. Well, thought it was a real bug." The boy, lifting fine string of fish out of the water. said: "So did these suckers!"

wounds that would have taken a less charmed life. And in grisly reminder of the terror which clouded the peace of his days stood the eight-foot log stockade at the rear of the place. which the proprietor had built to shield his daily journeys between house and store. But Jesse Purvy was not deluded by his escapes. He knew that he was marked down."
 The years of strain were telling on him. The robust, full-blooded face was showing deep lines; his flesh was growing faccid; his glance tinged with quick apprehension. He told his intimates that he realized they'd get him." yet he sought to prolong his term of escape.
 Yesterday morning Jesse Purvy had risen early as usual. and, after a sat isfying breakfast, had gone to his store to arrange for the days busi- ness. One or two of his henchmen. seeming loafers, but in reality body guard, were lounging within call. A married daughter was chatting with her father while her young baby played among the barrels and cracker boxes.
 The daughter went to rear win dow and gazed up at the mountain. The cloudless skies were still in hid ing behind curtain of mist The woman was idly watching the vanish ing fog wraiths, and her father came over to her side. Then the baby cried and she stepped back. Purvy himself remained at the window. It was a thing he did not often do. It left him exposed, but the most cautiously guarded life has its moments of re-

good policy to meet rather than com. bat his requirements. It was essen tial to his purposes that the officers of the law in his country should be in sympathy with him. Sympathy soon became abject subservience. When a South had opposed Jesse Purvy in the primary as candidate for high sheriff he was found one day lying on his face with a bullet-riddled body. It may have been a coincidence which pointed to Jim Asberry, the judges nephew, as the assassin. At all events, the judges nephew was poor boy, and charitable grand jury declined to indict him.
 In the course of five years several South adherents, who had crossed Holman's path, became victims of the laurel ambuscade. The theory of CO., incidence was strained. Slowly the rumor grew and consistently spread, fathered it, that before each of these executions star-chamber conferences had been held in the rooms above Micah Hollman's Mammoth Depart ment Store" It was said that these exclusive sessions were attended by Judge Holman, Sheriff Purvy and cer- tain other gentlemen selected by req son of their craftsmanship. When one of these victims fell Johu South had just returned from a law school down below" wearing ''fotched-on" clothing and thinking "fotched-on" thoughts. He had amazed the com munity by demanding the right to as- sist in probing and prosecuting the affair. He had then shocked the com munity into complete paralysis by re- questing the grand jury to indict not alone the alleged assassin, but also his employers, whom he named as Judge Holman and Sheriff Purvy. Then he, too, fell under bolt from the laurel.
 That was the first public accusation against the bland capitalist, and it car ried its own prompt warning against repetition. The judges high sheriff and chief ally retired from office and went abroad only with a bodyguard. Jesse Purvy had built his store at a crossroads 25 miles from the rail- road Like Holman, he had won a reputation for open-handed charity, was liked-and hated. His friends were legion. His enemies were so nu- merous that he apprehended violence not only from the Souths but also from others who nursed grudges in no way related to the line of feud cleavage. The Hollman-Purvy combi- nation had retained enough of Its old power to escape the laws retribution and to hold it's dictatorship, but the efforts of John South had not been altogether bootless. He had ripped away two masks, and their erstwhile wearers could no longer hold their old semblance of law-abiding philanthro pists. Jesse Purvy's home was the show place of the countryside. Com modious verandas looked out over pleasant orchards, and in the same | inclosure stood the two frame build ings of his store-for he, too, com l bined merchandise with baronia powers. But back of the place rose the mountain side, on which Purvy

q hain't a-wantin' ter suspicion ye, Samson, but I know how ye feels about yore pap. I heered thet Bud Spicer come by hyar yistiddy plumb full of liquor an lowed he'd seen Jesse an Jim Asberry atalkin' ter gether jest afore yore pap was kilt" He broke off abruptly, then added: "Ye went away from hyar last night, an didn't git in twell alter sunup--l just heered the news, an come ter look fer ye."
 Air you-all 'lowin' thet I shot them shoots from the laurel?" inquired Sam son, quietly.
 "Ef we-all hain't 'lowin' hit, Sam son, we're plumb shore thet Jesse Purvy's folks will low hit. They're jest a-holdin' yore life like a hostage fer Purvy's, anyhow. Elf he dies they'll try ter git ye"
 The boy flashed a challenge about the group, which was now drawing rein at Spicer South's yard fence. His eyes were sullen, but he made no an- swer
 One of the men who had listened in silence now spoke:
 "In the fust place, Samson, we hain't a-sayin' ye done hit In the nex' place, ef ye did do hit we haint a-blamin' ye-much. But I reckon them dawgs don't lie, an, ef they trails in hyar yell need us. Thet's why we've done come"
 The boy slipped down from his mule and helped Lescott to dismount. He deliberately unloaded the saddlebags and kit and laid them on the top step of the stile, and, while he held his peace, neither denying nor affirming, his kinsmen sat their horses and waited
 Even to Lescott it was palpable that some of them believed the young heir to clan leadership responsible for the t5heatiag-ef- Jesse ~Purvy, and that others believed him innocent, yet none the less in danger of the enemy's ven. geance. But, regardless of divided opinion, all were alike ready to stand at his back and all alike awaited his final utterance.
 Then, in the thickening gloom, Sam. son turned at the foot of the stile and faced the gathering. He stood rigid, and his eyes flashed with deen passion. His hands, hanging at the seams of his jeans brooches, clinched, and his voice came in a slow utter ance through which throbbed the ten. slty of a soul-absorbing bitterness.
 T knowed all bout Jesse Puryy's oeln shot. =. When my pap lav a-dyin' over thar at his house was a little shaver ten years old Jesse Purvy hired somebody ter kill hlm an promised my pap that I'd ind out who thet man was. an thet I'd git 'em both-some dav So help me, God Almighty, I'm a-goin' ter git 'em both-some day." The boy paused and lifted one hand as though taking an oath.

AND THEN?

Shall we fold our hands when the
fight is ended,
And the broken letters reluctant
fall?
When freedom comes after long en-
deayor,
Shall our hate be buried in love for
ever,
And the bitter past be forgotten
all?
Shall we think no more on the blood
expended,
On the day of want and the nights
Of woe,
On the CALLING chains and the taunts
more CALLING,
And the famine-murdered for ven.
geance calling,
Where the graves, like waves, lie
row on row?
Could we bury our hate in some
desert lonely,
That its eyes might never accuse us
But there's not rood of our land
unwatered
With the blood of myriad martyrs
slaughtered
In the grievous years that have
gone before.
Hadst thou left us poor Gods acre
only
We had buried our bitter burden
there;
We had clasped in love the hand ex-
tended,
Forgiving all when the fight had
ended.
But that hallowed spot, we shall
find it--where?
Exchange.
