George Lescott had known hospital.
ity of many brands and degrees. He
had been the lionized celebrity in
places of fashion. He had been the
guest of equally famous brother artists
in the cities Of two hemispheres. and.
since sincere painting had been his
pole star, he had gone where his arts
wanderlust backoned. He had fol-
lowed the lure Of transitory beauty
to remote sections Of the world. The
present trip was only one Of many
like it. which had brought him into
touch with varying peoples and dis.
tinctive types Of life. He told himself
that never had he found men at once
so crude and 60 courteous as these
hosts who, facing personal perils. had
still time and willingness to regard his
comfort.
The coming Of the kinsmen, who
would stay until the present danger
passed, had filed the house. The four
beds In the cabin proper were full,
and some slept on floor mattresses.
Lescott, because guest and wounded,
was given a small room aside. Sam.
son, however. shared his quarters in
order to perform any service that an
injured man might require. It had
been q full and unusual day for the
painter. and its incidents crowded in
on him in retrospect and drove Of the

Of the clan head. She lived alone with
her fourteen-year-old son and her six.
teen-year-old daughter The daughter
was Sally.
The sun rose on the morning after
Lescott arrived. the mists lifted, and
the cabin Of the Widow Miller stood
revealed. A tousle-headed boy made
his way to the barn to feed the cattle,
and red patch Of color, as bright
and tuneful as Kentucky cardinal,
appeared at the door between the
morning-glory vines. The red patch
Of color was Sally.
She made her way, carrying q
bucket, to the spring, where she knelt
down and gazed at her own image in
the water.
Before going home she set down her
bucket by the stream, and. with .
quick glance toward the house to make
sure that she was not observed,
climbed through the brush and was
lost to view. She followed path that
her own feet had made, and after q
steep course upward came upon bald
face of rock, which stood out storm
battered where rift went through
the backbone of the ridge. This point
of vantage commanded the other val
ley. Down below, across the treetops,
were roof and a chimney from which
a thread of smoke rose in an attenu.
ated shaft. That was Spicer South's
house and Samson's home. The girl
leaned against the gnarled bowl of the
white oak and waved toward the roof
and chimney. She cupped her hands
and raised them to her lips like one
who means to shout across great dis.
lance, then she whispered so low that
only she herself could hear:
Hello, Samson Soulful"
She stood for space looking down,
and forgot to laugh, while her eyes
grew religiously and softly deep. then,
turning, she ran down the slope. She
had performed her morning devotions.
| That day at the house Of Spicer
South was an off day. The kinsmen
who had stopped for the night stayed
on through the morning. Nothing was
said of the possibility Of trouble. The
men talked crops and tossed horse.
shoes in the yard; but no one went to
work in the fields, and all remained
within easy call. Only young Tama-
rack Spicer. a raw.boned nephew. wore
a sullen face and made great show
Of cleaning his rifle and pistol.
Shortly after dinner he disappeared.
and when the afternoon was we'll ad.
vanced Samson, too, with his rifle on
his arm, strolled toward the stile.

seemed wakeful. and in the isolation

conversation, which almost lasted out
the night. Samson went into the con.

could unburden his soul.

lay beyond the hills: the unnamed
wanderlust that had at times brought

of the terror which clouded the peace
of his days stood the eight-foot log
stockade at the rear Of the place,
which the proprietor had built to
shield his daily journeys between
house and store. But Jesse Purvy was
not deluded by his escapes. He knew
that he was marked down."
The years Of strain were telling on
him. The robust, full-blooded face
was showing deep lines; his flesh was
growing flaccid; his glance tinged
with quick apprehension. He told his
intimates that he realized they'd get

term Of escape.

Glass front ovens are frequently
complained of as not sufficiently light
and clear to be satisfactory. Such
glass doors will do their duty IL tho
housekeeper does hers, for the glass
needs frequent thorough washing on

good policy to meet rather than com.
bat his requirements. 1t was essen
tial to his purposes that the officers
Of the law in his country should be in
sympathy with him. Sympathy soon
became abject subservience. When a
South had opposed Jesse Purvy in the
primary as candidate for high sheriff
he was found one day lying on his
face with a bullet-riddled body. It
may have been a coincidence which
pointed to Jim Asberry, the Judges
nephew, as the assassin. At all events,
the judges nephew was a poor boy,
and charitable grand jury declined
to indict him.
In the course of five years several
South adherents, who had crossed
Holman's path, became victims Of the
laurel ambuscade. The theory of CO.
incidence was strained. Slowly the
rumor grew and persistently spread,
though no man would admit having
fathered 1t. that before each of these
executions star-chamber conferences
had been held in the rooms above
! Micah Hollman's Mammoth Depart
ment Store" It was said that these
exclusive sessions were attended by
Judge Holman, Sheriff Purvy and GER
tain other gentlemen selected by rea-
son of their craftsmanship. When
one Of these victims fell John South

clothing and thinking "fotched-on"
thoughts. He had amazed the COM
munity by demanding the right to as
sist in probing and prosecuting the
affair. He had then shocked the COM
munity into complete paralysis by re-
questing the grand jury to indict not
alone the alleged assassin, but also
his employers, whom he named as
Judge Holman and Sheriff Purvy.
Then he, too, fell under a bolt from
the laurel.
That was the first public accusation
against the bland capitalist, and 1t car.
ried it's own prompt warning against
repetition. The Judges high sheriff
and chief ally retired from Office and
went abroad only with bodyguard
Jesse Purvy had built his store at a
crossroads IS miles from the rail-
road. Like HOLMAN, he had won q
reputation for open-handed charity
was liked-and hated. His friends
we're legion. His enemies were so nu
merous that he apprehended violence
not only from the Souths but also
from others who nursed grudges in
no way related to the line of feud
cleavage. The Hollman-Purvy comb
nation had retained enough Of its old
power to escape the laws retribution
and to hold its dictatorship. but the
efforts Of John South had not beer
altogether bootless. He had ripped
away two masks, and their erstwhile
wearers could no longer hold their ole
semblance of law-abiding philanthro
pists. Jesse Purvy's home was thu
