long as it's done right. You've got to
see soone or later that we're working
to the same end. You may not be my
friend, but I'm going to be yours"
I'm obleeged to ye." He spoke
grayely and, turning on his heel left
the oom by the back door.
As chance would have it, Young
Milt rode by her place the next day.
She knew he would come back the
same way, and that afternoon, as he
was returning, she intercepted him be-
yond the turn of the road. With the
foreign courtesy learned abroad, he
lifted his hat and dismounted.
Juanita had always rather liked
Young Milt. The clear fearlessness of
his eyes gave him a certain attractive
ness, and his face had so far escaped
the clouding veil of s~ullenness which
she so often saw.
At first she was a little confused as
to how to approach the subject, and
the boy rolled a cigarette as he stood
respectfully waiting.
"Milt," she said at last, please don't
misunderstood me. It's not because |
want to, but I've got to ask you to give
me a promise. You see, l need your
help"
At that the half smile left the boys
lips and a half frown came to his eyes.
81 reckon l know what We mean" he
said. Young Jeb, he's asked We ter
warn me off. Why don't Jeb carry his
own messages?"
"Milt," she gravely reminded him,
resting her hand for a moment on his
coatsleeve, tits more serious than
that. Jeb ordered me to send his sis
ter back to the cabin. You are hav-
ing an education. l want her to have
one. She has the right to it. l love
her very dearly, Milt, and if you are
a friend you won't rob her of her
chance"
The boys eyes flashed.
AN ye're goin' ter send her back
thar ter dwell amongst them razorback
hawgs an houn'-dawgs an feas?" he
demanded spiritedly.
That depends on you. Jeb is the
head of his family. / can't keep her
without his consent. / had to promise
him that you shouldn't visit her"
For a moment the heir to the Nc.
Brian leadership stood twisting the toe
Of his heavy boot in the dust and ap
parently contemplating the little rings
it stamped out. Then he raised his
eyes and contemplatively studied the
crests of ridges ~softening with the
coming Of sunset.
At last he inquired, What hes Dawr
got ter say?"
Dawn hasn't said much" Juanitf
faltered, remembering the girls TRADE
then she confessed: you see, Milt

solomon as Naturalist.

There is an odd reluctance upon
the part of many people to go to the
ant, the water-bug, the beetle and 9TH
er "invertebrate" or backboneless
creatures, to consider their ways and
be wise. solomon was a learned nat.
uralist of his day and perhaps the
first animal behaviorist of all time.
Not alone ants and bees taught him
much, but all insects, beasts of the
field and birds of the air contributed
to his wisdom. If Solomon were alive
today, he would more than glory in
the domain of experimental research
into the behavior of the lower crea-
lures. He would no doubt write a
d~own-to-date volume Of proverbs
founded upon the learning abilities.

Birds don't sing SO sweet when We

the talk Of down below is hard an I'M

speech of the fiat countries. I'll have
none of it. Besides, l belongs here, an

ment, then added: I'D hate to have

learnt to talk"
She nodded her head. Il see," she
said quietly.
What do We aim to call this school?'
he asked suddenly.
why, l thought I'd call it the Hol-
land school," she answered, and when
he shook his head and said Don't do
it," she colored.
Il didn't mean to name it for my
self, Of course she explained. Il
wanted to call it after my grandfather.
He always wanted to do something for
education here in the Kentucky hills"
81 didn't mean to find no fault with
the name of Holland" he told her
gravely. That's as good a name as
any. But don't call it a school. Call
it a college,"
But" she demurred, its not going
to be a college. It's Just a school,"
Again the boyish smile came to his
face and seemed to a ten years
from his age. His manner of speech
made her feel that they were sharing
a secret.
"That don't make any difference"
he assured her. Mountain folks are
all mighty proud an touchy. l
shouldn't be astonished if some gray
haired folks came to study the primer.
They'll come to college all right, but
it wouldn't hardly be dignified to go to
school. II you want to get 'em We must
needs call it a college,"
The girl looked at him again and
said in soft voice: "You are always
teaching me things l ought to know
Thank you"
Juanita stood as he left her and
watched him striding down the slope
On his part he went back to his house
and found it suddenly dark and cheer
less and unsatisfying.

CHAPTER xlV-continued.

Again jobs face had become ashen
and his muscles we're twitching. Anse
laid a hand on his shoulder, but the
boy jerked away and again confronted
his elder, while his voice broke from
his lips in an xcess of passion. TELL
me his name. BY God, he b'longs ter
mel"
mo, ! amt goin' to tell We his name
just yet, Jeb," Anse calmly announced.
"He amt in these parts now. He's left
the mountains, an it wouldn't do ye
much good to know his name-yet.
Two days after he comes back I'll tell
We all we wants to know, an l won't
try ter hinder We, but we must let the
children stay over there at the school.
Dawn's hearts set on it, an it wouldn't
be fair to break her heart"
The boy stood trembling in wrath
and indecision. Finally his voice came
obviously. Eye done give me yore
hand once before thet es soon es we
knowed ye'd tell mean ye lied ter
me-"
Anse Havey shook his head with I'M
rufled patience.
mo, | didn't lie to ye, son. l wasn't
sure till after he left. amt never
lied to no man."
A long silence fell on the room.
Through the open window came the
silvery call OF a quail in some distant
thieket. After a while the boy raised
his head and nodded. I'll give we
my hand" he said.
When he left the room Juanita rose
from her chair.
There is no way to thank you, Mr..
Havey," she said with a touch of diff
dence. 81 don't believe that two wrongs
ever made one right. | don't believe
that you a win out to law by law
1essness. But | do believe you are
sincere, and l know that you're a
man"
And, for my part" he answered
slowly, 81 think ye're just tryin' to
grow an oak tree in a flower pot, an
it can't be done. | think that all we
can do is to breed discontent-an' in
these hills discomfort is dangerous.
But | amt hinderin' your school an
/ don't low to. Yell find out for your
self that it's a failure an quit at your
own behest."
Il shan't quit" she assured him, but
this time she smiled as she said it
81 am going ahead, and in the end
am going to undermine the regime OF
feud and illiteracy; that is, l and
others like me. But can't we fight the
thing out as if it were a clean game
Can't we be friendly a~dversaries
You've been very generous, and I've
been a bigoted little fool, but can't you
forgive me and be friends?"
He Strengthened and his face hard
ened again, and slowly he shook hi
head. His voice was very grave ant
uncompromising, though without dis
courtesy. I'm afraid it's a little TOT
late for that"
Juanita slowly drew back the ham
she had extended and her cheek
flushed crimson. 1t was the first tim,
in her life that she had made an un
solicited prefer of friendship-and /
had been rebuffed.
"Oh!" she murmured in a dazet
hurt voice in which was no anger
Then she smiled. Then there's moth
ing else to say, except to thank you
thousand times"
