In other years Bad Anse Havey re-
membered the days in that house when
the voices of women and children had
been raised in song and laughter. Then
the family had gathered in the long
winter evenings before the roaring
backlogs, and spinning wheel and quilt
ing frame had not yet gone to the cob
webs of the cockloft. But that was
long ago.
The qua%rtercentury over which his
memory travelled had brought changes
even to the hills. The impalpable
ghost of decay moves slowly, with no
sound save the occasional click Of a
sagging door here and the snap Of a
cord there, but in twenty-five years it
moves-and an inbred generation
comes to impaired manhood. Since
Bad Anse himself had returned from
Frankfort his house had been tenanted
only by men, and an atmosphere Of
grimness hung in its shadows. A half
dozen unkempt and loutish kinsmen
dwelt there with him, filling the ground
and ready to bear arms. More than
once they had been needed.
1t was to this place that Juanita Hol.
land and the preacher we're making
their way on that October afternoon.
At the gate they encountered a soil
tary figure gazing stolidly out to the
front, and when their coming reused
1t out Of its gloomy reverie 1t turned
and presented the scowling face oil
Jeb McNash.
Where air they?" he demanded
wrathfully, wheeling upon the two ar
| rivals, and then he repeated violently:
"By heaven, where air they? Why
hain't We done fetched Dawn and
lesser"
"Jeb," said the missionary quietly

Brother Talbot only nodded. SON.
he gently assured him. I'VE aims to-
talk with you, too, but I reckon y
hain't got no call ter hinder US from
havin' speech with Anse first"
For a moment Jeb stood dubious
then he jerked his head toward tn
house.

Juanita drew back with a start Of
distaste and repulsion. Yet she had
known this all along.
"Ye see," she heard the missionary
saying, "thar's Jest one way Anse kin
handle Jeb, an nobody else KANT
handle him at all. He thinks he's
right. l reckon eff We kin persuade
Anse ter reason with him ye1l hev ter

I'D promise almost anything. can't
give them up-I can't cant!"
"Ef Anse didn't perfect little Dawn
from the McBriars, Jeb would, ter a
Gods certainty, kill Young Milt," went
on the preacher, and the girl nodded
miserably.
II don't low ter blame We none." he
said slowly, almost alphabetically, but

gether In a frown rather of deep
thoughtfulness than of displeasure.
II asked Brother Talbot to go out"
he finally said, because l didn't hardly
want to hurt your feelin's by telling

yourself. [ say that again. Ye can't
take fire out OF blood with books. But
II we've done persuaded Brother Anse
that you're doin' good, didn't want
him to hear me belittle ye."
Anse Havey went to the window,
where he drank deeply of the spiced
air. Then he began to speak again.
and this time 1t was in a voice the girl
had never heard-a voice that held the
fire OF the natural orator and that was
colorful with emotion.
"The first time We saw me ye made
up your mind what character Of man
was. Ye made 1t up from hearsay evi.
dence, and we amt never give me a
chance to show ye whether We was
right or wrong. Ye say I've never
dreamed a dream. Good God! ma'am,

except my dreams. When | was a

CONGRESSMAN my dream was my own

He stepped over to the table and,
with a swift and passionate gesture,
caught up two books.
These are my best friends" he said
and she read on the covers, "Plu
tarch's Lives" and Tragedies Of vii
liam Shakespeare"
The girl looked up in amazement
and she met in his gaze a fire and ca
gerness which silenced her.
She felt a wild thrill Of admiration
not such as any other man had eyeI
caused, but such as she had felt wher
she watched the elemental play o.
lightning and thunder and wind alone
the mountain tons.

ing Of the note she knew what would
happen. and what would happen not
only in this instance. but In others
like It. This would not be Just losing
Dawn, bad as that was. It would be
paralysis and death to the school; 1t
would mean the leaving Of every Ha-
vey boy and girl.
So she stood there, and afterward
said quietly: "Milt, l guess you'd bet
ter CO." and Milt had gone gravely and
unquestioningly, but with that in his
eye which did not argue brightly for
restoration of peace between his house
and that Of his enemy.
When the two girls had gone to-
gether into the cabin Dawn stood with
a face that blanched as she began to
realize what 1t all meant, then slowly
she stiffened and her hands, too.

She came across to the chair into

lessly and, falling to her knees. seized
both Juanita's hands. She seized them
tightly and fiercely. and her eyes were
blazing and her voice broke from her
lips In turgid vehemence.
Il haint a-goin' ter leave vel" cried
Dawn. II hain't a-goin' ter do It,"
No word had been spoken of her
leaving, but In this lie they both knew
that certain things bring certain re-
suits. and they were expecting a note
from Bad Anse.
II hope not, DEAR" said Juanita, but
without conviction.
Then the mountain girl sprang up
and became transformed. With her
rigid figure and blazing eyes she
seemed a torch burning with all the
pent-up heritage of her past.
Il tells ye l amt a-goin' ter leave
vel" she protested, and her utterance
swelled to fiery determination. "Es
fer Milt McBriar, l wouldn't spit on

paused a moment, then finished tn
multuously like all hell. l reckon

Again she paused, painting with pas
