streets OF Hixon as stranger. And,
after leaving Hixon. there was a mis-
sion to be performed at Jesse Purvys
store. AS he thought of that mission
a grim CLINT came to his pupils.
All journeys end. and as Samson
passed through the tawdry cars Of the
local train near Hixon he saw several
faces which he recognized, but they
either eyed him in inexpensive silence
or gave him the greeting of the "fur-
riner."
AS Samson crossed the toll bridge
to the town proper he passed two
brown-shiTted militiamen, lounging on
tho YAH Of the middle span. They
grinned at him, and, recognizing the
outsider from his clothes, one of them
commented:
Amt this the hell Of a town."
Its going to be-" replied Samson,
enigmatically, as he went on.
Still unIecognized, he hired a horse
at the livery stable, and for two hours
rode in silence, save for the easy
creaking of his stirrup feathers and
the soft thud of hoofs.
The silence soothed him. The brood
ing hills lulled his spirit as grooming
song lulls a fretCul child. Mile after
mile unrolled forgotten vistas. Some
thing deep in himself murmured:
"Home!"
1t was late afternoon when he saw
ahead of him the orchard of Purvy's
place, and read on the store wall, a
little more weather stained, but other
wise unchanged:
Jesse Purvy, General Merchandise.
The porch of the store was empty,
and as Samson flung himself from his
saddle there was no one to greet him
This was surprising, since, ordinarily,
two or three of Purvy's personal
guardsmen loafed at the front to watch
the road. Just now the guard should
logically be doubled. Samson still
wore his eastern clothes-for he want
ed to go through that door unknown
AS Samson South he could not cross
its threshold either way. But when
he stepped up on to the rough porch

For an instant Samson forgot his
four years of veneer. The century of
prenatal barbarism broke out fiercely.
He was seeing things far away-and
forgetting things near by. His eyes
blazed and his fingers twitched.

For an instant, as no one spoke, he
stood breathing heavily, then, wheel
