BECAUSE HIS DOG LIKED HIM
Why tho Southern Mountaineer Was
Willing to Pay to Check a
MonareL

The pedigree OF a dog makes no
difference II you love him. This was
the opinion expressed by citizen OF
Pioneerville. at Boise, Idaho, when he
found that he would have to pay $3.50
to check mongrel as far as ST. Louis,
about two-thirds of the Journey. .-t
He and his brother, two southern
mountaineers. who still dress In the
Tennessee mountaineer style. ap-

he wanted to check his dog through
and asked whether or not he could
get on at certain stations to feed and
pet the animal.
THAT dog Is powerful fond OF me"
he remarked In explanation.
His face fell somewhat when he was
told that It would cost him something
like $40 to check the dog.

Something of boyishness enters into
this trim walking suit, with it's
straight box coat and pocketed skirt.
1t is fashioned for comfort without
any sacrifice of good and modish lines,
and suggests the hike and the stroll.
1t is very adaptable and quite as much
at home in the city promenade as in
the heart of the woods and over the
countryside.
The material is a rough open weave
in lightweight wooden goods, and the
pattern a small shepherds check In
brown and white. The skirt is smooth
fitting about the hips and cut with a
moderate flare. There is a Tapped
seam down the front and a group of
three inverted plaits at each side ex-
tending to the pockets. 1t is finished
with a three-inch hem and cut to a
scant ankle length. 1t extends an
inch and a half above the waist line
and is supported by webbing belt
that fits the waist snugly. The prac-
tical pockets at each side are bound
with silk braid in plain brown.
The waist worn with this skirt is of
crepe de chine with convertible collar,

CHAPTER Xt-Conttnued.

Samson did not appear at the Les
colt house for two weeks after that.
He had begun to think that, If his
going there gave embarrassment to
the girl who had been kind to him,
1t were better to remain away.
Il don't belong here" he told him
self, bitterly. Il reckon everybody
that knows me in New York, except
the Lescotts, is laughing at me be-
hind my back"
He worked fiercely, and threw into
bis work such Ere and energy that 1t
came out again converted into bold
ness Of stroke and an almost savage
vigor OF drawing. The instructor
nodded his head over the easel, and
passed on to the next student without
having left the defacing mark Of his
relentless crayon. To the next pupil.
he said:
Watch the way that man South

tally sincere, and, IL he goes on. the
Erst thing you know he viii be por-
Erait painter He won't merely draw
eyes and lips and noses. but character
and virtues and vices showing out
Through them"
And Samson met every gaze with
smoldering savagery. searching for
some one who might be laughing at
aim openly, or even covertly, instead
of behind his back. The long-suffer-
kng fighting lust Ia him craved oppor-
kunity to break out and relieve the
pressure on his soul But no one
laughed.
One afternoon late in November,
hint Of billiards swept snarling down
the Atlantic seaboard from the polar
does, with wet furries of snow and
rain. OF ON the marshes where the
kenmore club had it's lodge, the live
Eecoys stretched their clipped wings,
and raised their green necks restively
ento the salt wind, and listened. With
dawn, they had heard, faint and far
away, the first notes Of that wild
chorus with which the skies would ring
until the southeriy migrations ended
the horizon distant honking OF high.

Then it was that Farhish dropped
in with marching orders, and Samson,
yearning to be away where there were
open skies, packed George Lescott's
borrowed paraphernalia, and prepared

rang, and Samson heard Adrienne's
Roice at the other end of the wire.
Where have you been hiding?" she
demanded "Tll have to send truant
officer after YOU"
I've been very busy" said the man,
''and l reckon, after all, you can't

voice told the girl more than the
words,

Against thati"4 Horton struck the
mountain man across the face with
his open hand. Instantly, there was a
commotion of scraping chairs and
stunning feet, mingled with chorus
Of inarticulate protest. Samson had
risen, and. for q second, his face had
become a thing OF unspeakahle pas
sion. His hand instinctively swept
toward his pocket-and stopped half
way. He stood by his overturned

chair, gazing into the eyes Of his as

which gave his chest and arms the
appearance Of a man writhing and
stiffening under electrocution. Then,
he forced both hands to his back and
gripped them there. For a moment.
the tableau was held, then the man
from the mountains began speaking,
slowly and In tone of dead-level
monotony. Each syllable was portent-
ously distinct and clear clipped

For an instant there was absolute
and hushed calm. Wilfred Horton
picked up the discarded weapon and
looked at It in bewildered stupefac-
ton. then slowly his face famed with
distressing modification.
ANY time you want to fight me-
Samson had turned again to face him,
and was still talking In his deadly
quiet voice-"except tonight. you can
find me. I've never been hit before
without hitting back That blow has
got to be paid for-but the man that's
really responsible has got to pay first.
When l fight you, I'll fight for myself,
not for a bunch of damned murderers.
n. Just now, I've got other business.
That man framed this up!" He pointed
a lean finger across the table into the
startled countenance of Mr. Farbish.
HE knew! He has been working on
this job for a month. I'm going to
attend to his case now"
AS Samson started toward Farbish,
the conspirator rose, and, with an ex
cellent counterfeit of insultsd virtue,
pushed back his chair.

you mustn't try to embroil me In your
quarrels. You must apologize. You
are talking wildly, South"
Am II" questioned the Kentuckian,
quietly; I'm going to act wildly in

He halted a short distance from Far
bish, and drew from his pocket a
crumsled scrap of the offending maya
zine page: the item that had offended
Horton.

Mister Farbish. but where come from

dropped his voice and added for the
plotter's ear only: Here's a little
matter on the side that concerns only
US. It wouldn't interest these other
gentlemen" He opened his hand. and
added: Here, eat that! sE-~

1t was the same old tranknesa ana
friendliness of voice, and the same
old note like the music of a reed In
strument. Samson felt so comforted
and treasured that he laughed through
the telephone.
I've been keeping away from you, !"
he volunteered, because I've had a
lapse into savsgery, and haven't been
fit to talk to you When l get back,
I'm coming up to explain. And, in the
meantime, I'll telephone"
On the train Samson was surprised
to discover that, after all. he had Mr..
William Farbish for travelling COM
panion That gentleman explained
that he had found an opportunity to
play truant from business for day
or two, and wished to see Samson
comfortably ensconced and introduced.
The first day Farbish and Samson
had the place to themselves, but the
next morning would bring others.
The next day, while the mountain
eer was out on the fats. the party Of
men at the club had been swelled to
a total Of six, for In pursuance Of
the carefully arranged plans OF Mir.
Farbish, Mr.. Bradburn had succeeded
in inducing Wilfred Horton to run
down for a day or two Of the sport
he loved When Horton arrived that
afternoon, he found his usually even
temper RULED by bits of maiiciously
preached gossip, until his resentment
against Samson South had been
famed into danger heat. He did not
know that South also was at the club.
and he did not that afternoon go out
to the blinds, but SO far departed
from his usual custom as to permit
himself to sit for several hours ia the
club grill.
And yet, as is often the case In care
fully designed affairs, the one element
that made most powerfully for the
success Of Farbish's scheme was pure
accident. The carefully arranged meet
ing between the two men, the adroitly
melted passions Of each, would still
have brought no clash, had not Will
fred Horton been affected by the flush
ing effect of alcohol Since his college
days he had been invariably abstemi-
Gus. Tonight marked an exception.
He was rather surprised at the cor
diality of the welcome accorded him,
for, as chance would have 1t. except
for Samson South, whom he had not
yet seen, all the other sportsmen
were men closely allied to the politi-
cal and financial elements upon which
he had been making war. Still, since
they seemed willing to forget for the
time that there had been breach.
he was equally so. Just low. he was
feeling such bitterness for the Ken
tuckian that the foes OF a less per
sonal sort seemed unimportant
In point of fact, Wilfred Horton had
spent a very bad day. The final straw
had broken the back Of his usually
unrufaed temper. when he had found

he bitterly blamed the mountaineer.

these matters, a man acting as Far
