where, at the end. one OF them again
raised his muzzle skyward, and gave
voice.
Toward evening, they were working
up Misery along a course less broken.
The party halted for moments rest,
and, as the bottle was passed, the man
from Lexington, who had brought the
dogs and stayed to conduct the chase,
put question:
What do you call this creek?"
Hits Misery"
Does anybody live on Misery that
-er--that you might suspect?"
The Hollmans laughed.
This creek is settled with Souths
thicker'n hops"
The Lexington man looked up. He
knew what the name of South meant
to Holman.
"Is there any special South, who
might have a particular grudge?"
THE Souths don't need no parti'lar
grudge, but thars young Samson
South He's wildcat"
He lives this wayT'
These dogs air a-makin' a Decline
fer his house." Jim Holman was
speaking Then he added: I've done
been told that Samson denies dom the
shootin'. an claims he kin prove an
alibi."
The Lexington man lighted his pipe,
and poured a drink of red whisky into
a flask cup.
He'd be apt to say that" he COM
mented, These dogs haven't any
prejudice in the matter. I'll stake my
life on their telling the truth"
An hour later, the group halted
again The master of hounds mopped
his forehead.
Are we still going toward Samson
South's house?" he inquired.
Were about a quarter from hit
now, an we hain't never varied from
the straight road"
"Will they be apt to give US
trouble?"
Jim Holman smiled
81 hain't never heered of no South
submittin' ter arrest by Holman"
The trailers examined their fire
arms, and loosened their holster-faps.
The dogs went forward at trot.

he seemed weaponless, but Samson
knew that concealed beneath the
hickory shirt was holster, worn
mountain fashion.
What air we a-reachin' after,
Tam'rack?" he inquired, his lips twist
ing in amusement.
"Thet's my business"
We'll, git hit out-or git out yeself,
afore l throws ye often the cliff"
Sally showed no symptoms of alarm.
Her confidence in her hero was abso-
lutte. The boy lifted his hand, and
pointed off down the path. Slowly
and with incoherent muttering, Spicer
took himself away. Then only did
Sally rise. She came over, and laid
hand on Samson's shoulder. In her
blue eyes, the tears were yelling.
Samson" she whispered, 'ef they're
after we, come ter my house. kin
hide We out. Why didn't We tell me
Jesse Jurvey'd done been shot?"
Hit faint nothin' ter fret about,
Sally" he assured her. He spoke
awkwardly, for he had been trained to
regard emotion as unmanly. Thar
hain't no danger"
She gazed searchingly into his eyes,
and then, with short sob, threw her
arms around him, and buried her face
on his shoulder.
EFF anything happens ter We, Sam
son." she said, brokenly, "hitll jest
kill me. 1 couldn't live withouten ye,
Samson. / jest couldn't do hit!"
The boy took her in his arms, and
pressed her close His eyes we're gaz-
ing off over her bent head, and his lips
twitched. He drew his features into
a scowl, because that was the only ex-
preston with which he could safe
guard his feelings. His voice was
husky.
81 reckon, Sally" he said. 81 couldn't
live withouten you, neither"
The party Of men who had started
at morning from Jesse Purdy's store
had spent hard day. The roads fol-
lowed creek-beds, crossing and re-
crossing waterways in fashion that
gave the bloodhounds a hundred baf-
fling difficulties. Often, their noses
lost the TRAIL which had at first been
SO surely taken. Often, they circled
and whined, and halted in perplexity,
but each time they came to point

and when the afternoon was well ad-
vanced Samson, too, with his rife on
his arm, strolled toward the stile.
He sauntered down the road, but,
when he had passed out of vision, he
turned sharply into the woods, and
began climbing. His steps carried him
to the rift in the ridge where the white
oak stood sentinel over the watch
tower Of rock. AS he came over the
edge from one side his bare feet max
ing no sound, he saw Sally sitting
there, with her hands resting on the
moss and her eyes deeply troubled.
She was gazing fixedly ahead and her
lips were trembling. At once Sam
sons face grew black. Some one had
been making Sally unhappy. Then he
saw beyond her a standing figure,
which the tree trunk had hitherto con-
cealed. 1t was the looee-knitted figure
of young Tamarack Spicer.
''In course" Spicer was saying, I'VE

but them Hollmans II 'spicion him, an

mouth of Misery. They'll git hyar

Samson leaped violently forward.
With one hand he roughly seized his
cousins shoulder and wheeled him
about.
"Shet up!" he commanded. What
d-n fool stun hey We been tellin'
Sally?"
For an instant the two clansmen
stood fronting each other. Samson's
face was set and wrathful Tamarack's
was surly and snarling. "Haint l got
a license ter tell Sally the news?" he
demanded.
Nobody hain't got no license" re-
torted the younger man in the quiet

JOHN SMITHS THEORY 3
, , = = > =
BY Frank FiIson
Have you had any word from the
Adamson corporation, dear?" asked
Mollie Smith of her husband over the
breakfast table.
John Smith shook his head doIefuI-
ly. What's the use of hoping?" he
asked. johnson will get the posi-
ton"
81 am sure you are just as good as
Herbert Johnson, dear" insisted his
wife Indignantly. ''You graduated
ahead of him in the class of 1911.
And you are miles ahead of him in
everything"
''In what, MoIHe?" asked her hus-
band, quizzicaIly.
''In-in learning. And in honesty,
dear. You wouldn't have taken that
case that Mr.. Johnson took, when
the Berg company tried to get that
piece of land away from the widow"
THAT quality is hardly what the
Adamson people will want, MoIlie,''
replied her husband, as he rose from
the table.
He felt pretty gloomy all the way
down to his Office. He had begun to
earn enough income the year before,
as a lawyer in the little manufacture
ing town, to justify him in claiming
MoIlie, whom he had loved since he
entered college, as his wife. But the
struggle was a hard one, and he had
only just been able to keep his home
together.
Then, month previously, the
Adamson company had invited sew
eraI of the town lawyers to apply
for a saIaried position as adviser. The |
choice had really narrowed down to |
two-himself and Rerbert johnson. |
And he knew in his heart that John |
son was slated for the position.

not have considered himself justified
in dining out, even with MOlie, while
his income was in its. present cOndi-
ton. Then Johnson was one of the
best dressed men in town. All Smiths
clothing money went to dress Mollie.
But most important of all, Johnson
was acquiring a reputation as man
who took hard cases. The AdamsOn
corporation would undoubtedly pre-
fer a man who was willing to attempt
to drive through the law, if it could be

done, to a lawyer who had his own
ridiculous scrUples. In fact he knew
that he was more or less of a laugh
ing-stock among the business men of
the town on account of this quality.
However" he said to Mollie, 81 be
