Gordon grew tighter to prevent escape.
The Hollmans, like rats in a trap,
grimly held on, realizing that it was to
be siege. On the following morning
a detachment of F. company arrived,
dragging two gatling guns. The Holl
mans saw them detraining, from their
lookout in the courthouse cupola, and,
realizing that the end had come, re-
solved upon a desperate sortie. Stimuli
taneously every door and lower win
dow of the courthouse burst open to
discharge a frenzied rush of men, fir
ing as they came. They meant 20 fight
their way out and leave as many hos
tile dead as possible in their wake.
Their one chance now was to scatter
before the machine guns came into ac-
ton. They came like a flood of hu-
man lava and their guns were never
silent, as they bore down on the barri-
cades, where the single outnumbered
company seemed insufficient to hold
them. But the new militiamen, look
ing for reinsurance not so much to
Callomb as to the granite-like face of
Samson South, rallied and rose with a
yell to meet them on bayonet and
smoking muzzle. The rush wavered,
fell back, desperately rallied, then
broke in scattered remnants for the
shelter of the building.
Old Jake HOLMAN fell near the door,
and his grandson. rushing out. picked

of the flies. Otherwise, there was no
outward sign of life. Then, Callomb's s
newly organized force of ragamuffin sol
diers clattered down the street at
double time. For a moment or two
after they came into sight only the
massed uniforms caught the eyes Of
the intrenched Hollmans, and an
alarmed murmur broke from the court
house. They had seen no troops de-
train, or pitch camp. These men had
sprung from the earth as startlingly as
Jason's crop of dragons teeth. But,
when the command rounded the shoul-
der of protecting wall to await fur
ther orders, the ragged stride of their
marching and the all-too-obvious bear
ing of the mountaineer proclaimed
them native amateurs. The murmur
turned to howl of derision and chal-
lenge. They were nothing more nor
less than Souths, masquerading in the
uniforms of soldiers.
What orders?" inquired Callomb
briefly. joining Samson in the store
Demand surrender once more-then
take the courthouse and JAIL" was the
short reply.
Callomb himself went forward with
the flag of truce. He shouted his mes
sage and a bearded man came to the
courthouse door.

dancy, "thet we're all here. Come an

volley was fired over the roof and in
stantly the two buildings in the public
square awoke to volcanic response of
rife fire.
All day the duel between the streets
and county buildings went on with
desultory intervals of quiet and wild
outbursts of musketry. The troops
were firing as sharpshooters, and the
courthouse, too, had its sharpshooters.

Inere were transformations. too, in
the house OF Spicer South. Windows
had been cut. and lamps adopted. Il
was no longer so crudely a pioneer
abode. While they waited for dinner,
a girl lightly crossed the stile. and
came up TO the house Adrianne met
her at the door. while Samson and
Horton stood back. waiting. Suddenly.
Miss Lescott halted and regarded the
newcomer in surprise. II was the
same girl she had seen. yet different
girl. Her hair no longer fell In tangled
masses. Her feet were no longer bare.
Her dress. though simple. was charm
ing. and, when she spoke, her English
had dropped its half-illiterate peculiari-
ties. though the voice still held its
birdlike melody.
"Oh, Samson" cried Adrienne. you
two have been deceiving mel Sally.
you were making up. dressing the part
back there. and letting me patronizs
you"
Sally's laughter broke from her
throat in a musical peal. but 1t still
held the note of shynese. and II was
Samson who spoke.
81 made the others ride on, and got
Sally to meet you just as she was when
left her to go East" He spoke with
touch of the mountaineer's over-sen-
sitive pride. Il wanted you first TO SEQ
my people. not as they are going to be.
but as they were. l wanted you to
know how proud am of them-just
that way"
That evening. the four OF them
walked together over to the cabin OF
the Widow Miller. At the stile. Ad-
rienne Lescott turned to the girl and
said:
II suppose this place is pre-empted.
I'm going to take Wilfred down there
by the creek. and leave yon two alone
Sally protested with mountain hos
pitality. but even under the moon she
once more colored adorably.
Adrienne turned up the collar Of her
sweater around her throat. and. when
she and the man who had waited, stood
leaning on the rail of the footbridge,
she laid a hand on his arm.
Has the water flowed by my mill,
Wilfred?" she asked.
what do you mean?" His voice
trembled.
VIII you have anything to ask me
when Christmas comes?"
"If can wait that long, Drennie,.

Don't walt, dear" she suddenly ex-
claimed. turning toward him. and
raising eyes that held his answer.
Ask me nowl"
But the question which he asked was
one that his lips smothered es he
pressed them against her own.
Back where the poplar threw It's
sooty shadow on the road. two figures
sat close together on the top OF a
stile. talking happily in whispers. A
girl raised her face. and the moon
shone on the deepness OF her eyes. as
her lips curved in a trembling smile.
you've come back. Samson" she
said In low voice. but, II I'd known
how lovely she was. I'D have given up
hoping. | don't see what made you

Her voice dropped again into the
tender cadence of dialect.
