broke from her. slt's teachin' things that's goin' ter make the children ashamed of their cabins an their folks It's goin' ter make 'em want things ye can't hardly give 'em.
 Go to any cabin fn these hills an yell find the pinch of poverty. but ye won't find shame for that poverty in none of 'em. We ain't got so many virtues here maybe. but we've got a few. We can wear our privations like a uniform that we ain't ashamed of yes. an make a kind of virtue out of it."
 I'm not out of sympathy with that" she argued; T think i;'s splendid"
 "All right" he answered; but after ye've taught 'em a few things they won't think it's splendid. Yen breed discomfort an then yell go away, an all yell have done will be to have knocked their one simple virtue down round their ears" e
 How many times do I have to tell you I'm not going away?" demanded the girl hotly. Just watch me-"
 Again he shook his head. and into his eyes came a look of sudden pain "I reckon yen go," he said. Al good things go. The birds quit when winter comes an the flowers go"
 So, in an impersonal way. they kept up their semblance off a duel and mocked each other.

 The girls laughter pealed out in the cool air. and she said with an after note of surprise: Why. Mir Havey. you didn't speak like a mountain man then. thought l was listening to a further"
 He nodded his head and the smile died from his lips. Into his eyes came the look of steady resolve which was willing to fight for an idea.
 T just did that to show ye that I could. If wanted to. I reckon I could talk as good English as you. l reckon ye wont hardly hear me do 1t no more."

CHAPTER xv.

Anse Havey had been looking ahead. When old Milt McBriar had said Them Hayeys lows thet I'd cross hell on a rotten plank ter do 'em injury" he had shot close to the mark. Bad Anse knew that the quiet-visaged old murder lord could no more free himself from guile and deceit than the rattler can separate itself from the poison which impregnates its fangs and na. ture.
 When he had taken Milt's hand. seal ing the truce. he had not been be- guiled. but realized that the compact was only strategy and was totally in- sincere. Yer in Young Milt he saw possibilities. He was accustomed to rely on his own judgment, and he rec ognized a clean and sterling strain in the younger McBriar.
 He hated the breed with a hatred that was flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone, but with an eye of prophecy he foresaw the day when a disrupted mountain community must fall asun. der unless native sops could unite against the conquest Of rowland greed. He could never trust Old Milt. but he hoped that he and Young Milt. who would some day succeed to his fa- ther's authority. might stand together in that inevitable crisis.
 This idea had for a long time been vaguely taking shape in his mind. and when he met Young Milt in the woods and proposed uniting to save Juanita's g school he was laying the cornerstone for that future alliance.
 At sunset Young Milt came, and he came without having spoken of his purpose at home. The night was sharp and moonless, with no light save that which came from the coldly glittering stars, and Anse and Young Milt crouched for hours. knee to knee in the dead thickets. keeping watch.
 At last they both saw a creeping fig. ure which was only a vague shadow moving among shadows. and they peered with straining eyes and raised rifles. But the shadow fell very still, and since 1t was only by its movement that they could detect it. they waited in vain.
 What hint of being watched was

just now Dawn is thinking of herself as a Havey and of you as a McBriar. All l ask is that you won't try to see her while she's here at the school not. at all events. until things are diff ferent."
 The boy was wrestling with youths unwillingness to be coerced.
 An let Dawn think that her brother skeered me off?" he questioned at last with note of rising defiance.
 Dawn sha'n't think that She shall know that you have acted with a gen tleman's generosity. Milt-and because I've asked you to do it.
 "Hain't good enough ter keep com pany with Fletch McNash's gal?" The lad was already persuaded, but his stubbornness fired this parting shot.
 Its not question of that. Milt, and you know it," declared Juanita. Its just that one of your people killed one of his. Put yourself in Jeb's place"
 Still for while the boy stood there scowling down at the ground, but ct last he raised his face and nodded.
 Its e bargain. ma'am. but mind I only says I won't see her hyar. Some day I'll make Jeb pay fer it."
 He mounted and rode away while the lazy. hay sveetness of the smoky

 I'm obleeged to ye." He spoke gravely and. turning on his heel left the room 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 q certain attractive ness. and his face had so far escaped the clouding veil of suIlenness which she so often saw.
 At first she was 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 l want to. but I've got to ask you to give me promise. You see. need your help"
 At that the half smile left the boys lips and a half frown came to his eyes.
 'I reckon know what ye mean," he said. Young Jeb, he's asked ye ter warn me off. Why don't Jeb carry his own messages?"
 'Milt." she gravely reminded him. resting her hand for g moment CT his coatsleeve, tits more serious than that. Jeb ordered me to send his sis ter back to the cabin. You are hay, ing an education. I want her to have one. She has the right to it. love her very dearly. Milt, and If you are 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 razorhack hawgs an houn'-dawgs an fieas?" he demanded spiritedly.
 That depends on you. Jeb is the head Of his family. I can't keep her without his consent. l had to promise him that you shouldn't visit her
 For a moment the heir to the Mo Briar leadership stood twisting the toe of his heavy boot in the dust and ap- parently contemplating the little rings ., sf-t- eyes and contemplatively studied the crests of ridges softening with the coming of sunset.
 At last he inquired, What hes Dawn got ter say?
 Dawn hasn't said much" Juanita faltered, remembering the girls tirade. then she confessed: You see, Milt.

CHAPTER XVI.

In an office which overlooks the gray stone courthouse in Louisville sat a youngish man of somewhat engaging countenance. Ip the small anteroom of his sanctum was a young woman who hammered industriously on type writer and told most of the visitors who called that MT. Trevor was out. That was because most of those whe came bore about them the unmistak- able hallmark of creditors. MT. Ire vor's list of creditors would have made as long g scroll as his list of business activities.
 Yet for all these cares Mir. Trevor was just now sitting with his tan shoes propped on his broad desk, and his face was untroubled. He was one of these interesting gentlemen who give touch Of color to the monotony of humdrum life. MT. Trevor was a soldier of fortune who sold not his sword, but the very keen and flexible blade of his resourceful brain. Roger Malcolm of Philadelphia knew him only as the pleasant chance ac- quaintance of an evening spent in | New York club
 He had impressed the Fastener as a most fascinating fellow who seemed to have engaged in large enterprises here and there over the face of the globe So when NIT. Malcolm present ed his card in the office anteroom the young woman at the machine gave him one favoring glance and did not say NIT. Trevor was out.
 So you are going to penetrate the ! wilds of the Cumberlands, are you?" inquired MT. Trevor in his pleasing voice as he grasped his visitors hand. Tell me just where you mean to go and I'll tell you how to do it with the least difficulty. The least difficult down there Is plenty"
 My objective" replied Mir. Malcolm. lis a place at the headwaters of creek called Tribulation. some thirty miles from a town called Peril" T know the places-and their names fit them. I'd offer to go with you. but I'm afraid wouldn't prove | benefit 10 you. I'm non grata with Bad Anse Havey. Esquire. and NIT. Milton McBriar. who are the local dictators.' NIT. Malcolm laughed. Tn passing" he said. T dropped in to talk over the coal development proposition which you said would ip- terest me-"
 MT. Trevor reached into his desk and brought out several maps. The tentacles of the railroads are reaching in here and there." he began with the promoters suaye ease of man. ner. Tt is a region which enterprise can no longer afford to neglect, and the best field of all is as yet virgin and untouched"
 Why did you drop she enterprise yourself?" inquired his visitor.
 'I didn't have the capital to swing it. Of course, if it interests you and your associates 1t can be put through"
 Malcolm nodded. T am going pri. marily by way of making a visit" he said. T meant to go before you reused my interest in your proposition. and 1t occurred to me that l might combine business with pleasure"
 The promoter looked up with shade of surprise.
 You have friends out there in that God-forsaken tangle?" he inquired God help them!"
 "A lady whom I have known for long while is establishing school there"
 With the mention of the lady Nal | colm's voice took on an uncommunica- tive note. and Mir. Trevor at once changed the topic to coal and timber. CTo BE CoNTINUED)

Solomon as Naturalist.

There is an odd reluctance upo, the part of many people to go to the ant, the water-bug. the beetle and oth- CT "invertebrate" or backbonelesf 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 L, 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 . down-to-date volume q proverbs founded upon the learning abilities. the memory and the hshavior in gen e:al of reas. lice. flies. gnats and othS~ insectA

Birds don't sing so sweet when ye teaches 'em new tunes. To my ears the talk of down below Is hard an un- speech of the fiat countries. I'll have none of it. Besides. I belongs here. an If didn't talk like they do my people wouldn't trust me" He paused a mo- ment, then added: "I'd hate to have my people not trust me. So if ye don't mind, I reckon I'll go on talkin' as learnt to talk"
 She nodded her head. "I see," she said quietly.
 What do ye aim to call this school?" he asked suddenly.
 "Why, 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.
 q didn't mean to name 1t for my self. of course," she explained. "I wanted to call it after my grandfather. He always wanted to do something for education here in the Kentucky hills" q didn't mean to find no fault with the name of Holland" he told her gravely. That's as good name as any. But don't call it school Call 1t a college"
 But" she demurred. its not going to be college It's just school"
 Again the boyish smile came to his face and seemed to erase ten years from his age. His manner of speech made her feel that they were sharing | secret
 That don't make aEy difference" he assured her. Mountain folks are all mighty proud an touchy. I 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 If you want to get 'em ye must needs call it college" The girl looked at him again and said in a 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.
 Into the soul of Bad Ahse Havey had come a new element, and the prophet which was in him could see a new menace; a necessity for curbing the grip of this new dream which might easily outgrow all his other dreams and bring torture to his heart. Here was a woman of fine fiber and delicate culture in whose eyes he might at best ! be an interesting barbarian. Between them lay all the impossible barriers that quarantined the tangled coves of the mountains from the valleys of the rich lowlands. Between their lives and viewpoints lay the same irrecon- cilable differences.
 And yet her image was haunting him as he went his way, and in his heart was awakening an ache and a rap ture.
 On several of her buildings now the hammers were busy shingling the roofs. Her influence grew and spread among the simple folk to whom she was unostentatiously ministering-an influence with which the old order must some day reckon Anse Havey set his face against crossing her threshold with much the same resolution that Ulysses stuffed his ears against the siren song-and yet with remarkable frequency they climbed at the same time from oppo- site directions and met by the poplar tree on the ridge.
 Its the wrong notion" he told her 1 obstinately. when her enfhusiasD
