chief-maker. Ostensibly, the truce still held, but at no time since it's signing had matters been so freighted with the menace of a gathering storm. The attitude of each faction was that of several men standing quiet with guns trained on one another's breasts. Each hesitated to fire, knowing that to pull the trigger meant to die himself, yet fearing that another trigger might at any moment be drawn. Purvy dared not have Samson shot out of hand, be- cause he feared that the Souths would claim his life in return, yet he feared to let Samson live. On the other hand, if Purvy fell, no South could balance his death, except Spicer or Samson. Any situation that might put condi- tions to a moment of issue would either prove that the truce was being observed, or open the war-and yet each faction was guarding against sucn an event as too fraught with danger. One thing was certain. By persuasion or force, Lescott must leave, and sam son must show himself to be the youth he had been thought, or the confessed | and repudiated renegade. Those ques tions, today must answer. It was ] difficult situation, and promised an eventful entertainment. Whatever conclusion was reached as to the art ist's future, he was, until the verdict came in, a visitor, and, unless liquor infamed some reckless trouble-hunter that fact would not be forgotten. Pos sibly, it was as we'll that TamaracE Spicer had not arrived.
 Lescott himself realized the situa tion in part, as he stood at the door o the house watching the scene inside.
 There was, of course, no round danc ing-only the shuffle and jig-witf champ .ons contending for the honol of their sections
 In the group about the door, Lescot passed youth with tow-white hail and very pink cheeks. The boy wa: the earliest to succumb to the tempta tion of the moonshine jug, tempta tion which would later claim others He was reeling crazily, and his albin, eyes were now red and infamed.
 "Thet's ther damned further thet': done turned Samson inter a gall" pro claimed the youth, in thick voice.
 The painter paused, and looked back. The boy was reaching under hi coat with hands that had become clumsy and unresponsive.
 Let me git at him." he shouted with a wild whoop and dash toward the painter.
 Lescott said nothing, but Sally hat heard, and stepped swiftly between.
 You've got ter git past me fust Buddy" she said, quietly. q reckon ye'd better run on home, an git yort nanny ter put ye ter bed"

SYNOPSIS.

\ On Misery creek Sally Miller finds George Lescott. a landscape painter. un- Tor assistance Spicer South head of the 1amily, tells Samson South and Sally that Jegse Purvy has been shot and that Sam epn is suspected of the crime. Samson denies 1t. The shooting of Jesse Purvy ereaks the truce in the Hollman-South loud. Samson reproves Tamarack Spicer Tor telling Sally that Jim Holman Is hunting with bloodhounds the man who mot Purvy. The bloodhounds lose the ueil at Spicer South's door. Lescott dis covers artistic ability in Samson. While sketching with Lescott on the mountain, 14marack discovers Samson to a jeering Sxowd of mountaineers. Samson thrashes nm and denounces him as the truce Uuster' who shot Purvy. Lescott tries to prsuade Samson to go to New York with nm and develop his talent. Sally, loyal Dut heartbroken. furthers Lescott's ef- 6p1ts.

a small library of carefully picked books, which the mountaineer eagerly agreed to devour in the interval
 Lescott consented, however, to re- main over Saturday. and go to the dance, since he was curious to observe what pressure was brought to bear on the boy, and to have himself a final word of argument after kinsmen had spoken.
 Saturday morning came after a night of torrential rain, which had left the mountains steaming under a reek of fog and pitching clouds
 But, as the morning wore on, the sun fought it's way to view in a scrap of overhead blue. From log cabins and plank houses up and down Misery and it's tributaries, men and women be- gan their hegira toward the mill. Les colt rode in the wake of Samson, who had Sally on pillow at his back They came before noon to the mouth of Dry hole creek. and the house of Vile Mo- Cager. Already, the picket fence was lined with tethered horses and mules
 From the interior of the house came the sounds of fiddling, though these strains of Turkey in the Straw" were only by way of prelude. Lescott felt, though he could not say just what con- crete thing told him, that under the shallow note of merry-making brooded the major theme of a troublesome problem. The seriousness was below the surface, but insistently depressing. He saw, too, that he himself was mixed up with it in a fashion, which might become dangerous, when few jugs of white liquor had been emptied.
 While the young persons danced and ''sparked" within, and the more truculent lads escaped to the road to pass the jug, and forecast with youth full war-fever "cleanin' out the Holl- mans," the elders were deep in ways and means. If the truce could be pre- served for it's unexpired period of three years, it was,sof course, best. In that event, crops could be cultivated, and lives saved. But, if Jesse Purvy chose to regard his shooting as a breach of terms, and struck, he would strike hard, and, in that event, best defense lay in striking first Samson would soon be twenty-one. That ne would take his place as head of the clan had until now never been ques- homeland he was talking of deser- ton. For that, pink-skinned for eigner. who wore woman's bow of ribbon at his collar, was to blame. The question of loyalty must be square ly put up to Samson, and it must be done today. His answer must be def- mite and unequivocal. As a guest of Spicer South, Lescott was entitled to that consideration which is accorded ambassadors.
 None the less, the vital affair of the clan could not be baked by considera- tion for stranger, who, in the opin- ion of the majority, should be driven from the country as an insidious mis-

CHAPTER VII.

Several soberer men closed around the boy, and after disarming him, led him away grumbling and muttering, the guest,
 "Jimmy's jest peevish child" he explained. "A drop or two of flicker makes him skittish. I hopes yell look over hit"
 Jimmy's outbreak was interesting to Lescott chiefly as an indication of what might follow. Unwilling to in- troduce discord by his presence, and involve Samson in quarrels on his ac- count, he suggested riding back to Misery, but the boys face clouded at the suggestion.
 "Ef they kaint be civil ter my friends" he said, shortly, they've got ter account ter me. You stay right hyar, and I'll stay clost to you. done come hyar today ter tell 'em that they mustn't meddle in my business" A short while later, Vile McCager invited Samson to come out to the mill, and the boy nodded to Lescott an invitation to accompany him.
 The mill, dating back to pioneer days, sat by its race with it's shaft now idle. It looked to Lescott, as he ap- preached, like scrap of landscape torn from some medieval picture, and the men about it's door seemed medic val, too; bearded and gaunt, hard thewed and sullen.
 All of them who stood waiting were men of middle age, or beyond A num- Der were gray-haired, but they were all of cadet branches. Many of them, like Vile McCager himself, did not bear the name of South, and Samson was the eldest son of the eldest son.
 Samson" began old Vile McCager, clearing his throat and taking up his duty as spokesman. we're all your kinfolks here, an we aimed ter ask ye about this here report thet yer 'lowin' ter leave the mountings?"
 What of hit?" countered the boy.
 Hit looks mighty like the wars a-goin' ter be on agin pretty soon. Air ye a-goin' ter quit, or air ye a-goin' ter stick? Thets what we wants ter know"
 q didn't make this here truce, an hain't a-goin' ter bust hit," said the boy, quietly. When the war con- mences, I'll be hyar Elf I hain't hyar in the meantime, hit hain't nobody's business. I hain't accountable ter no man but pap an reckon, whar he is, he knows whether I'm a-goin' ter keep my word"
 There was moments silence, then Vile McCager put another question::
 "Ef ye're plumb sot on gettin' larnin' why don't ye git hit right hyar in these mountings?"
 Samson laughed derisively.
 who'll I git hit from?" he causti- cally inquired. Eff the mountain won't come ter Mohamet, Mohamet's got ter go ter the mountain, reckon"
 Caleb Wiley rose unsteadily to his feet, his shaggy beard trembling with wrath and his voice quavering with senile indignation.
 "Hev ye done got too damned good fer yore kinfolks, Samson South 2" he shrilly demanded. "Hev ye done been follerin alter this here puny witch doctor twell ye can't keep a civil tongue in yer head fer yore elders? I'm in favor of runnin this here fur

Mrs. A4nissE. Griffin

At her home four miles west
of Shannon Thursday afternoon,
July 22d, at a o'clock. the spirit
of Mrs. Annie Griffin left its
tenement of clay and winged its
flight to a sweet home of rest.
At the last hours there gathered
at her bedside her husband and
children who watched her close
her eyes in peaceful sleep.
Thirty years ago she was mar
ried to R. H. Griffin. To this
union seven children were born,
all Of whom survive.
In the life and character OF
this wife and mother there were
blended all the elements that go
to make up a perfect woman.
She was gentle. patient, consld-
crate and in every way devoted
to her husband and children.
Her gentleness extended beyond
the confines of her own home
and those who felt the touch OF
her kindly nature were drawn to
her in the bonds of love and
friendship. Fifteen years ago
she became a member of the
Presbyterian church and took an
active part in the work OF the
church.
In this deep sorrow the family
has sustained a loss that will be
felt to the end of time. but which
will soften and melloW the life
of each. In their bereavement
the family has the sympathy OF
the entire community.
Funeral services were con-
Quoted Friday afternoon from
Union church by her pastor,
Rev. John D. Hunter. The re-
mains were laid to rest in Union
cemetery, where many floral
tributes of love were laid upon
Fher last resting place.
