CHAPTER XIV.

Anse Havey had been looking ahead.
When old Milt McBriar had said
Them Haveys lows tibet 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 ma
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. Yet 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 sous could unite
against the conquest Of lowland greed.
He could never trust Old Milt, but he
hoped that he and Young Milt, who
would some day succeed to his ia
Tiers 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
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 glitterins
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 fiz.
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

CHAPTER XVI,

In an office which overlooks the gray
stone courthouse in Louisville sat q
youngish man of somewhat engaging
countenance. In the small anteroom
OF his sanctum was a young woman
who hammered industriously on a type
writer and told most of the visitors
who called that Mr.. Trevor was out.
That was because most of those WIZ
came bore about them the unmistak-
able hallmark Of creditors. Mr. Ire
vor's list of creditors would have made
as long a scroll as his list of business
activities.
Yet for all these cares Mr.. 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 a touch of color to the monotony
of humdrum life. Mr.. Trevor was q
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 &C.
quaintance of an evening spent In .
New York club.
He had impressed the fastener az
most fascinating fellow who seemed
to have engaged in large enterprises
here and there over the face Of the
globe. So when Mr.. Malcolm present
ed his card in the office anteroom the
young woman at the machine gave him
one favoring glance and did not say
Mr.. Trevor was out.
$50 you are going to penetrate the
wilds of the Cumberlands. are you?"
inquired Mr.. 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 1t with the
least difficulty. The least difficult down
there is plenty"
MY objective" replied Mr.. Malcolm.
SIS a place at the headwaters Of a
creek called Tribulation, some thirty
miles from a town called Peril"
Il know the places-and their
names fit them. Id offer to 60 with
you. but I'm afraid l wouldn't prove a
benefit to you. I'm non grata with Bad
Anse Havey. Esquire. and Mr.. Milton
Mr.. Malcolm laughed.
"In passing" he said. Il dropped in
to talk over the coal development
proposition which you said would in

Mr.. Trevor reached into his desk
and brought out several maps.

said. Il meant to go before you reused

The promoter looked up with shade
of surprise.

God-forsaken tangle?" he inquired.

"A lady whom I have known for a
long while is establishing a school

With the mention OF the lady Nal.

tive note, and Mr.. Trevor at once
changed the topic to coal and timber.

said quietly.

he asked suddenly.

self. OF course" she explained. II

Il didn't mean to find no fault with

gravely. That's as good a name as
any. But don't call it a school. Call
1t a college"
But" she demurred, "it's not going
to be a 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
| q secret.
THAT don't make any difference"
he assured her. Mountain folks are
all mighty proud an touchy. l
shouldn't be astonished II 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 1t college,"
The girl looked at him again and
said in a soft voice: You are always
teaching me things I 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 Anse Havey had
come a new element, and the prophe ct
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.

Again his reply was brief.

she went on, and the note of banter
left her voice; land you refused to let

For a moment he was silent, then he

she heard him saying in a very soft
voice:

T. RS PLAN IS
WINNING SUPPORT
Administration May Consent to
Sending Division to France
This Summer

Washington, April 14.-Col. Roose-
velts pla nto raise n division to fight
in France, unless unforeseen obstacles
come up, will receive approval. 1t is
understood that the matter has been
discussed by the President and his
Cabinet and that 1t is realized that the
sentiment of the country is in favor
of it.
Certain general stan officers are
rather against the idea, on the ground
that it would be impossible for Col.
Roosevelt and his volunteers to be in
shape for the trench warfare now be-
ing conducted by the best trained mill
tary brains of Europe.
But the President is not going to let
objections stand in the way If means
can be found to obviate them. One
suggestion is that Colonel Roosevelt
be permitted TO get the division to-
gether. but turn over the command to
highly trained officers who have had
experience in the present war or TO
regular officers of the United States
army. The Colonel himself is said to
be not averse to having a regular OFF,
GER in command. He suggested that
a regular army officer be in command
of an army corps which he said he
could organize If the President would
give the word.
There is also a strong sentiment in
Congress in favor of Colonel Roose-
velt's plan and in favor of a volunteer
force to France anyway. Pressure is
being brought to bear on the House
committee to incorporate the plan in
the army bill entirely apart from the
conscription proposal.
Representative Emerson of Ohio
formally introduced in the House to-
day n resolution asking President Will
son to authorize Colonel Roosevelt to
raise an army.
My resolution asks the President to
permit the Colonel to raise 100000
men for duty in France-the Roose-
welt volunteers. He is the one Amer
lean who can do it. He has the ad-
miration of many young men. They
will follow him in Europe as they
have followed him here. There are
four reasons for the resolution: A vol
unteer army is always better than a
drafted army. Many young men have
confidence in the leadership of Colonel
Roosevelt and will volunteer under
him. An army is no stronger than its
commander. Men will fight better if
they have confidence in their leader.
Young men will follow him better
than they would set of officers whom
they did not know and whom they did
not select"
