Jeb McNash shook his head. A spaS of battle went through him and shoAA him like a convulsion to the soles df his feet. He had but to crook his finA ger to appease his blood-lust-and break his pledge.
 T done give Anse my hand ter bide my time 'twell war dead sartain," he told himself. "I hain't quite dead sar- tain," he told himself. "I hain't quite dead sartain yit reckon I've got ter wait spell"
 He uncocked the rife and the other boy rode on, but young Jeb folded his arms on the wet earth and buried his face in them and sobbed, and it was an hour later that he stumbled to his feet and went groggily back, drunk with bitterness and emotion, toward the house of Anse Havey. Yet when he arrived after nightfall his tongue told nothing and his features told less.

CHAPTER xI.

That summer Juanita's cabin rose on the small patch of ground bought from the Widow Everson. for in these hills the raising of house is a simple thing which goes forward subject to no delays of striking workmen or baking contractors. The usual type, with it's single room. may be reared in a few days by volunteers who turn their labor into frolic. She had owed much to Jerry Everson and to Good Anse Talbott, for had her building force been solidly of Havey or Me Briar complexion the school would henceforth have stood branded, in na- tive eyes, feud institution.
 But Good Anse and Jerry, who were tolerated by both factions, and were gifted with a rough-hewn diplomacy, had known upon whom to call. even while they had seemed to select at random.
 The cabin had been finished just be- fore the news came of the death of Fetch McNash. and Jerry Everson had gone over with her to survey and admire it.
 As he stood under the newly laid roof. sniffing the fresh, woody fra grance of the green timbers. he pro duced from under his coat what looked like giant powder-horn. He had scraped and polished it until it shone like varnish. and he hung it by it's leather thong ahova tho baartb

CHAPTER XII.

One day in early October young Milt McBriar happened upon Dawn and Juanita walking in the woods.
 The gallant colors and the smoky mists of autumn wrapped the forests and brooded in the sky. An elixir went into the blood with each deep drawn breath and set to stirring for. gotten or hitherto unawakened emo- tions. And in this heady atmosphere of quickened pulses the McBriar boy halted and gazed at the Havey girl
 Juanita saw Young Milt's eyes flash with an awakened spirit. She saw a look in his face which she was woman enough to interpret even before he himself dreamed what its meaning might be.
 Dawn was standing with her head up and her lids half closed looking across the valley to the Indian sum- mer haze that slept in smoky purple on the ridges. She wore a dress of red calico. and she had thrust in her belt few crimson leaves from a gum tree and few yellow ones from a pop lar.
 Juanita Holland did not marvel at the fascinated. almost rapt look that came into Young Milt's eyes, and Young Milt. too. as he stood there in mean figure. His lean body was Guick of movement and strong, and his bronzed face wore the straight. looking eyes that carried an assurance of fearless honesty. He had been away to Lexington to college and was going back. The keen intelligence of his face was marred by no note of meanness. and now. as he looked at the girl of the enemy. his shoulders came unconsciously erect with some thing of the pride that shows in men of wild blood when they feel in their veins the strain of the chieftains.
 But Dawn. after her first blush. chin. and without a word snubbed him with the air of Havey looking down on McBriar.'
 Milt met that gaze with a steady one of his own and banteringly said Dawn. pears like ye thought a got tangled up with a rainbow"
 Her voice was cool as she retorted "I reckon that's better than gitting mixed up with some other things"
 "l was jest a-thinkin'. es l looked at ye," went on the boy gravely. "thet hits better then gittin' mixed up with anything else"

reckon Anse Havey won't hardly let hit go by without doin nothin Thank heaven, thar's some men left in ther hills like Anse Havey-but ef Jeb don't do nothin I'll do hit myself" Again Juanita shuddered, but it was not the time for argument. and so she went on bitterly accusing Havey in her heart for his wizard hold on these people-a hold which melted them to bloodshed as the fanatical priests of the desert urge on their wild tribes men.
 She did not know that Bad Anse Ha- vey went every few days over to the desolated cabin and often persuaded the boy to ride home with him and spend a part of the time in his larger brick house. She did not know that Bad Anse was coming nearer to lying than he had ever before come in with. holding his strong suspicious from the boy because of his unwillingness to incite another tragedy.
 So when one day a McBriar hench- man by the name of Luke Thixton had left the mountains and gone west, Anse hoped that this. man would stay away for a long while, and he refrained from mentioning to Jeb that now, when the bird had flown, he knew definitely of his guilt.
 While Dawn, under the guidance of her preceptress. was making the ac- quaintance of new and sweeter life. whose influences fed her imagination and fired her quick ambition. her

the girl. and with that he took it down

thO SHi, anu Wilu tHul AO looh iS uo"h again and set it to his lips and blew.
 A mellow sound, not loud, but far carrying, like the fox-hunter's tally-ho, fioated over the valley.
 Our house hain't more than a whoop an a holler away" he said awkwardly, but when ye're Twin over hyar by yoreself, eff ye ever wants any thing in ther nighttime, jest blow thet horn"
 After she had almost burst her cheeks with effort, he added: Don't never blow this signal onless ye wants ter raise merry hell.'
 Then he initiated very low, through pursed lips, three long blasts and three short ones.
 Whats that signal?" she demand ed.
 We've heered the McBriar yell" he told her. "Thet horn calls ther Havey rallyin signal. When thet goes out every Havey thet kin tote a guns got ter git up an come. Hit means war.
 Thank you. Jerry. I won't call the IldNeyS to Ddttle.
 The night after she had flung her challenge down to Bad Anse Havey Juanita stayed at the McNash cabin to be with Dawn and the widow. The next day she went with them to the mountainside ''buryin' ground where Good Anse performed the last rites for the dead.
 After it was all over. and it had been decided that the widow was to take the younger children up Meeting house fork to live with brother the missionary and the teacher started back. Jeb was to stay here alone to run the farm, and when Juanita re- turned to the ridge Dawn went with her.
 They were passing tumbling Wa terfall, shrunken now to a trickling Till. when Dawn broke the long silence.
 'Wunst, when I war a leetle gal, " she said, "Unc' Perry war a-hiding out up thet branch from ther revenuers. used ter fotch his victuals up thar ter him."
 Juanita turned suddenly with a shocked expression. It was as if Ter little songbird friend had suddenly and violently reverted; as if the flower had turned to poison weed And as Jua- nita looked Dawns eyes were blazing and Dawn's face was as dark as her black hair-dark with the same ex- pressiOn which brooded on her broth CTS brow.
 What is it, dear?" Juanita asked, and in tense and fiery voice the younger girl exclaimed:
 'I wishes l war a man. 1 wouldn' t wait and set still like Jeb's doin' By heaven, I'd git thet murderer. I'd cut his heart outen his body"
 Il tole ye,' quietly commented Brother Anse. ''thet ther instincts in ther blood. Anse Havey went down ter Frankfort an set in ther legislator but he come back ther same man thet went down. Somethin' called him. Somethin calls ter every noun tain man thet goes away, an he hark- ems ter ther call

ing of thunder, but that year the clouds seemed to have dried up, and down in the tablelands of the Blue Grass the crops were burned to worth less stalk and shrunken ear Even up here, in the birthplace of waters, the corn was brown and sapless, so that when a breeze strayed over the hill. side fields they sent up a thirsty, dying rasp of rattling whisper.
 It was not only in the famished forests and scared fields that the hot breath of the plague breathed, carry ing death in it's fetid hostrils. Back in the cabins of the "branch-water folks" where little springs diminished and be- came polluted, all those who were not strong enough to throw of the touch of the specters finger sickened and died, and typhoid went in and out or Havey shack and McBriar cabin whis- pering, "a pest on both your houses"
 The widow McNash had not been herself since the death of Fletch. She who had once been so strong over her drudgery, sat day long on the doorstep of her brothers hovel and. in the Ian guage of her people jest sickened an pined away"
 So as Juanita Holland and Good Anse Talbott rode sweating mules about the hills, receiving calls for help faster than they could answer them, they were not astonished to hear that the widow was among the stricken. Though they fought for her life. she refused to, fight herself, and once again the Eastern girl stood with Dawn in the brier-choked "buryin'. ground" and once more across an open grave she met the eyes of the man who stood for the old order.
 But now she had learned to set lock on her lips and hold her counsel. So, when she met Anse and Jeb after ward, she asked without rancor: May 1 take little Jesse back with me. too? He's too young." she added, with just a heartsick trace of her old defiance, ito be useful to you. MT. Havey. ana I'd like to teach him what l can"
 Anse and Jeb conferred. and the elueT Illau came DdCh anu IOuueu hiS head.
 Jesse can go back with ye,' he said. I'm still aimin' to give ye all the rope ye wants. When yeve had enough an quits. let ne know, an I'll take care of Fletch's children
 And on her farm. as folks called Juanitas place, that September saw many changes. Near the original cabin was springing up new struc- ture. larger than any other house in that neighborhood. except, possibly. the strongholds of the chiefs. and as it grew and began to take form it i'm parted an air of ordered trimness to the countryside about 1t. It was fash. toned in such style as should ioe in keeping with its surroundings and not give too emphatic a note jof alien strangeness.
 Juanita wished that her cabin could house more occupants. for the plague had left many motherless families |; and many children migm have come' into her fold, As it was. she had sev- eral besides the McNashes as her nu- cleus. and while the weather held good she was rushing her work of timber-felling and building which the winter would halt.
The Spectator., 1915-11-12

weeks to years, and she awoke each new day braced to hear the news of some fresh outbreak, and wondered why she did not. A few neighborhood children were already learning their rudiments, and plans for more build ings were going forward.
 Sometimes Jeb came over from the brick house to see his sister and on the boys face was always dark cloud of settled resolve. If Juanita never questioned him on the topic that she knew was nearest his heart 1t was be- cause she realized that to do so would be the surest way to estrange his friendship and confidence.
 In one thing she had gained a point. She had bought as much property as she should need. Back somewhere be- hind the veil of mysteries Anse Havey had pressed button or spoken word. and all the hindrance that had lain across her path straightway evaporat- ed. Men had come to her, with no further solicitation on her part. and now it seemed that many were animat- ed by desire to turn an honest penny by the sale of land. In every convey | ance that was drawn-deeds of ninety nine-year lease instead of sale-she read thrifty and careful knowledge of land laws and reservation of min eral and timber rights which she traced to the head of the clan.
 As summer spent itself there was opportunity for felling timber, and the little sawmill down in the valley sent up it's drone and whine in proclama- | tion that her trees were being turned into squared timbers for her buildings Once, when Milt McBriar rode up to the sawmill, he found the girl sitting there, her hands clasped on her knees, gazing dreamily across the sawdust and confusion of the place.
 We're right smart interested in thet thar woodpile. haint ye. ma a'am?" he | inquired with slow, benevolent smile
 His kindliness of guise invited confi- dence. and there was no one else with. in earshot, so the girl looked up. her eyes little misty and her voice i'm. pulsive.
 MT. McBriar." she said. "every one of those timbers means part of a dream to me. and with every one of them that is set in place will go a hope and prayer"
 He nodded sympathetically. "I reck. on" he said. "ye' kin do right smart good, too"
 MT McBriar," she flashed at him in point blank questioning, since I came | here l have tried to be of use in a very simple and ineffective fashion. I have done what little l could for the sick and distressed. yet am constant ly being warned that I'm not allowed | to carry on my work. Do you know of any reason why shouldn't go ahead 9"
 He gazed at her for moment, quiz. zically. then shook his head
 "Oh, pshaw!" he exclaimed, q wouldn't let no sich talk es thet fret me none. Folks round hyar hain't got much ter do except ter gossip round. Nobody hain't a-goin ter hinder ye. We haint such bad people. after all"
 After that she felt that from the Me Briars she had gained official sanction. and her resentment against Anse Ha. vey grew because of his scornful un- graciousness.
 The last weeks of the summer were weeks of drought and plague. Ordi- narily, in the hills storms brew swiftly and frequently and spend themselves in violent outpourings and cannonad.
