CHAPTER II.

Sally clambered lightly over the
fence and started on the last stage Of
her journey, the climb across the
young corn rows. 1t was field stood
on end. and the hoed ground was I'M
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
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
difident with the stranger, words now
came fast and fluently as she told her
story Of the man who lay hurt at the
foot of the rock.
Hit haint 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 looktn' Teller air her?
While Sally sketched a 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-
ers unless there are secrets to be
guarded from outside eyes.
why hain't IT." demanded the girl.
He's hurt. We KANT 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 launted her thoughts
She came close, and her voice sank
with her sinking heart.

question in a tense, dcep-breathed

almost indifferently.

added in half-disgust, "nothin' won't

The boys face had been hardening
with contempt as the description adj
vanced, but at the last words a glow
came to his eyes, and he demanded
almost breathlessly:

that?"

she broke off, then added with a sud-

the fence, and reached for the rife.

"Tn git the nag" he announced
briefly, and swung off without further
parley toward the curling spiral of
smoke that marked a cabin a quarter
of a mile below. Ten minutes later
his bare feet swung against the ribs
of a gray mule and his rifle lay bal
anced across the unsaddled withers.
Sally sat mountain fashion behind
him, facing straight to the side.
So they came along the creek bed
and into the sight of the man who
still sat propped against the messy
rock. AS Lescott looked up he closed
the case of his watch and put it back
into his pocket with a smile.

rode slowly toward the house. At last

The boy touohsafed no reply.

and took on a shrill crescendo of eX-
element as he flashed out his retort
"Who said a South has done busted

at his nephew.

The boy flashed a challenge about
the group, which was now drawing
rein at Spicer Souths yard fence. His
eyes were sullen, but he made no an
swer.
One of the men who had listened in
silence now spoke:

with a sudden hardening of the voice,

searchingly into the strangers face.

mouth of Meeting House fork; do you

Samsons reply was curt.
Il knows hit all right"
There was a moments pause
rather an awkward pause. Lescott'e
mind began piecing together frag-
ments of conversation he had heard,
until he had assembled a sort of men
tai jigsaw puzzle.
The South Holman feud had been
mentioned by the more laxative OF

softened to an expression Of amazed
admiration. Finally he took up the

FOR . R CAMPAIGN \
Revival Singer and Wife at the

Special Services.

A campaign of righteousness will
be l~naugurated in Bismarck next Sun
day evening at the First Presbyterian
church. The pastor, the Rev. Charles
w. Harris, will be assisted by Evan.
gelist Pobert L. Jones, Of jamestown,
N. Y, and his associate and gospel
singer, Mr. Carl Z. Burch Of Boston,
to assist in the work. +.
Mr.. Burch and his wife arrived in
the city yesterday and are stopping
at the CIR nd Pacific hotel They will
assist in completing the preliminary
preparation for the campaign. Mr..
Burch is spoken of as one Of the most
gifted singers in revival work. He
is not only a splendid soioist but has
rare ability in organizing and training
large chorus choirs, and the music
will be a feature of this series Of meet
ings.
Every Day Needs.
E%vangelis! Jones is said to proclaim
a gospel intended to meet the every
day needs of life. The favorite, and
s%tereotyped subjects usually discussed
by the travelling evangelist, such as
The objectionable Sin, Cards, Thea
ters and Dancing, Eternal Punishment
etc." are %noticeably absent from Mr..
Jones repertoire. He never attacks
those whose beliefs differ from his own
and while his methods are not sensa-
tional he has the reputation OF attract
ing large audiences wherever he is
called to labor.
