"oh. it's just your work that needs me?"
 But. Anse," she argued. my work is all that's biggest and best in me. You understand. don't you?"
 For a moment his voice got away from him and he rose fercely:
 T don't give damn for your work," he blazed out Its you I'm interested in. That's the sort of friend I am."
 She looked up at his gleaming eyes. little amazed. and he went on. quiet ly enough now:
 If fails to hang Luke Thixton I'll be right now what ye prophesied for me twenty years hence-the leader of the wolf-pack that goes down an gets trod on. l aint never put no such strain on my influence as this is goin' to be. I've got to hold back the Haveys an the McBriars whilst this court foolishness dawdles along. an if l falls down Jeb is goin' to kill Luke anyway. I'm doin' this because ye asks 1t; an now I'll say good night to ye."
 Juanita Holland stood looking at the door he had closed behind him. a wild sense of tumult and uneasiness in her heart
 That's the sort of friend am.' |" she repeated to herself.

MUSIC ROLLS QUICKLY MADE
for the Use of Retail Dealers Recently Put on the Market.

Designed especially for the use of retail dealers, a compact machine that perforates music rolls for use in play CT pianos Is being introduced. The ap- paratus Is described In the Popular Mechanics Magazine. It Is capable Of making from one to l5 records at time from sheet music, and will also turn out copies of any standard roll. Its operation Is said to be so simple that satisfactory work can be done by persons who are not musicians. The particular advantage of the machine seems to be that it enables small dealer to fill his customers orders promptly without having to carry a large, expensive stock. It also obvi- ates the inconvenience that confront patrons when special orders have to be mailed to a factory before their wants can be supplied. Since 16 sheets can be perforated simultaneously, a dealer in making roll to order has an opportunity to add 15 records to his stock with no expense other than the bare cost of the paper and spools.

 The boy stood there. his fingers slowly clenching and opening. Finally he said: Hit ain't a-goin' ter satisfy me ter penitentiary thet feller. He's got ter die"

ter be settin' in ther high cote. I hain't never a-goin' ter leave hit. an ef that jury clars him-or ef they jest penitentiaries him-I'm goin' ter kill him as he sets thar in his cheer-so help me God!"
 Loyal in their stubborn adherence to feud obedience. the judge and grand jury secretly returned two indictments bearing the names of Luke Thixton as principal and Milton McBriar. ST, as accessory to the crime of murder against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth of Kentucky, and con trary to the statute in such case made and provided" Also. they withheld their action from public announce ment.
 Surreptitiously and guardedly a message travelled up the watercourses to the remotest Havey cabin. Bad Anse bade his men be ready to rise in instant response to his call, and they made ready to obey.
 One day Juanita Holland and Dawn set out for Lexington to do their Christmas shopping.
 Anse Havey rode with them across to Peril and waved his hat in farewell as they stood in the vestibule of the rickety passenger coach. It was a very shabby car of worn and faded plush, but to Dawn it seemed a fairy chariot.
 As they entered the lobby of the Phoenix hotel, in Lexington, a tall youth rose from a chair and came for ward. If the boy was cruder and dark CT and less trim in appearance than his Blue-Grass brethren, he carried his head as high and walked as independ- ently. He came forward with his hat in his hand and said: I'm mighty glad ter see ye, Dawn"
 The girl looked about the place, and breathed rather than asked: Isn't the world wonderful, Milt?"
 Two days followed through which Dawn passed in transports of delight shop-windows decked for the holiday season, and the crowds on the streets, and the gayety and merriment of Christmas everywhere. She had never heard so much laughter before. and | she found it infectious, and laughed too.
 At last she found herself again in a faded plush car beside Juanita, with Young Milt sitting opposite. Old Milt was on that train, too. but he paused only to nod before disappearing into the shabbier smoking compartment where he had business to discuss. A man was waiting for him in there whom old acquaintances might have passed by without recognition. It was the hope of Milt McBriar that when | they left the train at Peril, any ac quaintances who might be about would do just this.
 While the Christmas shoppers laughed in the day coach, Luke Thix ton received final instructions in the empty smoker.
 | He was to pass as swiftly and un obtrusively as possible through Peri and go direct across the ridge.
 He and Milt would leave the trair without conversation or anything t< mark them as companions. After thai Luke knew what he was to do. and nc further conference would be necessary
 It was noon when the train rumblet again over the trestle near the town and all morning a steady. feathery snow had been falling. yelling thu sights from the windows and wrapping the mountains in . cloak of swans down.

 Don't risk your life." she pleaded Your people can't spare you; l can't spare you. Not now. Anse; need you too much"
 The mans voice came in a hoarse whisper.
 "Ye needs mel"
 "Yes. yes," she swept on. and for an instant he was on the verge of with drawing his hands and crushing her to him, but something in his face had warned her She dropped the hands she had been holding and said in an altered tone: Its not just me; it's bigger than that. It's my work. We've come to be such good friends that I couldn't go on without you. My work would fan"
 For a while he was silent, then he said very slowly and very bitterly:

"Then m talk outspoken. Ter try ter convict these men in cote means to take a desperate chance. Ye can't hardly succeed. an if ye fails ye've lost yore hold on the Haveys-ye're plumb. eternally done for"
 '1 don't aim to fall"
 'No; but ye thought. Anse. no man haint never questioned yore loyalty till now. I thought as well tell ye straight what talkin's goin' round"
 Anse stifened. What is it?" he demanded.
 Some folks low that ther Haveys don't mean as much ter ye now as ther turin schoolteacher does. Them folks'l be pretty apt ter think ye ain't tryin' ter please them so much as her If yer attempts this"
 Anse stood for a long minute silent. and his bronzed features grew taut. At last he inquired coolly:
 What do you think. Breck?"
 I'd trust ye till hell froze."
 <hA' ii6nt- utu uO as tSiiS sc, oh if fails l reckons you'll be head of the Haveys in my place."
 Down at the school there was going to be a Christmas tree that year. Never before had the children of the "branch-water folks" heard of a Christ mas tree. The season of Cbrist's birth had always been celebrated with moon shine jug and revolver. It was dread ed in advance and mourned over in retrospect.
 Now in many childish hearts large dreams were brewing. Eager antici- pations awaited the marvels. The hon. ored young fir tree which was to bear fruitage of gifts and lights had been singled out and marked to the ax. Anse Havey and Juanita had explored the woods together. bent on its selection. Perhaps Juanita and Dawn were as much excited as the children. but to Dawn 1t meant more than to anyone else. She was to accompany Juanita to Lexington to buy gifts and decora- tions and would have her first won- drous glimpse of the lights and crowds of city.
 Milt was there at college and would be returning about the same time. so the mountain girl secretly wrote him of her coming. And even facing so grave a crisis. Anse Havey thought of that tree and hoped that Luke would not come back before Christmas.
 That night, while he was sitting with Juanita and the fire was flashing on her cheeks, he said moodily: I'm afraid yell have to start despisin' me all over again"
 She looked up in astonishment.
 "Why?" she asked.
 I've got to kill a man"
 She rose from her chair. her face pallid.
 Kill a mani" she echoed.
 God knows l hate to do It." He rose, too. and stood before the hearth But I reckon 1t had better be me than Jeb."

 She came nearer and stood confront l gxc F. hot ha Fa1 h hraa on his face She broke out in a low. tense voice: Suppose he kills you?''
 He'll have his chance" said Anse Havey shortly 'I ain't 'lowin' to shoot him down from ambush.
