Dan realized at once that II he
could be. In Lennox's eyes. one-ffth
Of the man his grandfather had been.
he would never. have to fear again the
look Of disappointment with which his
host had greeted him at the station.
But instead Of reaching that high
place. he had only-death. He knew
what his destiny was In these quiet
hills. And It was true that he began
to have secret regrets that he had
come. But It wasn't that he was dis
appointed In the land that was open.
Ing up before him. It fulfilled every
promise. His sole reason for regrets
lay In the fact that now the whole
mountain world would know Of the
decay that had come upon his people
Perhaps It would have been better 10

He had never dreamed thnt the
fame OF lis grandfather had spread

seemingly without limit. Then. A.

higher ridges, and the shadow OF the
deeper forests fell upon the narrow
brown road, there began TO be long
gaps In the talk. And soon they rode
In utter silence. evidently both OF
them absorbed in their own thoughts.
Dan did not feel oppressed nj all.
He merely seemed to fall into the
spirit Of the woods. and no words

could have brought brighter sparkle

CHAPTER ~.

The Lennox home was a typical
mountain nch-house-squnre, solid,
comforting In storm and wind. Bill
was out to the gate when the car
drove up. He was son OF his fa-
ther. strong man In body and per.
sonality. He too had heard OF the
elder Failing. and he opened his eyes
when he saw the slender youth that
was his grandson. And he led the
way into the whIte-walled living room.
"You must be chilly and worn out
from the long ride" Lennox suggest
ed quietly. He spoke In the tone
strong man invariably uses toward
an invalid. Dan felt 4 curious re-
sentiment At the words.
"T'm not cold" he said. "It's hard
ly dark yet. I'd sooner so outdoors
and look around"
The elder man regarded him curl
ously. perhaps with the faintest giim-
mer Of admiration. You'd better wait

tor said I hid six months. Those
four will take me all through the fall
and the early winter. And hope you
won't feel that you've been imposed
upon--to have q. dying man on your
hands,"
ut isn't that" Silas Lennox threw
his car into gear and started up the
long grade. And he drove clear to the
top of 1t md into another glen before
he spoke ngain. Then he pointed to
what looked to Dan like brown
streak that melted Into the thick
brush. "That was deer" he said
slowly. "Just glimpse, but your
grandfather could have got him be-
tween the eyes. Most like as not,
though. he'd have let him go. He
never killed except when he needed
meat. But that-as you say-ain't
the impression Pm trying to convey"
He seemed to be cropping for words.
"What is 1t. Mr.. LenDox?" Dan
asked.
Instead of being sorry, I'm mighty
glad you've come" Lennox told him.
IT'S not that expect you to be like
your grandfather. You haven't had
his chance. But it's always the way
Of true men. the world over, to come
back to their own kind to die. That
deer we just saw-he's your people,
and so are all these ranchers that
grub their lives out of the forests
they are your people, too. And you
couldn't have pleased the old mans
old friends any better, or done more
for his memory, than to come back
to his own land for your last days"
The words were strange, yet Dan
Intuitively understood. It was as II
prodlgal son had returned ut last.
and although his brthright was
squandered and he came only to die,
the people Of his home would give him
kindness and forgiveness, even though
they could not give him their respect.

rents Of excitement. little excited
too.
Then both of them were startled
out Of their reflections by the clear,
unnistakable sound Of footsteps on
the ridge. Both of them turned. and
I.ennOx laughed softly In the dark
ness. "My daughter" he said. II
knew she wouldn't be afraid to come"
Dan could see only Snowbird's out
line at first. Just her shndow against
the mOoniIt hillside. His glasses were
none too good at long range. And
possibly. when she came within range.
the first thing that he noticed about
her was her stride. The girls he
knew didn't walk In quite TINT free.

she did not seem ungraceful. Dan had
distinct impression that she was

She seemed to come with such unut.
ierahle smoOthness. And then he
heard her call lightly through the
darkness
The sound gave him distinct sense
Of surprise. Some way. he hadn't as
sociuted voice like this with noun
tain girl; he had supposed that there
would he so many harshening influ-
ences In this wild plnce. Yet the tone
was as clear md full ms n trained

yet II seemed simply brlmmlng. as
cup brIms with wine. with the rap
ture of life. II was self-confident
voice too. wholly unaffected md sim
cere. and wholly without embnrrass-
ment.
Then she came close. and Dan saw
the moonlight on her face. And SO It
came about. whether In dreams or
wakefulness, he could see nothing else
for many hours to come.
The girl who stood in the moonlight
had health. She was simply vibrant
with health. II brought light to her
eyes. and color to her cheeks. and
life and Skinner to her moonllt hair.
II brought curves to her body, and
strength and frmness to her limbs,

They weren't important when health
was present. Yet there was nothing
Of the coarse or bold or voluptuous
about her. She was Just n slender
girl. perhaps twenty years Of age. and
weighing even less than the figure oc-
casIonally to be read in the health
magazines for girls Of her height. And
she was fresh and cool beyond all
words to tell.
And Dan had no delusions about
her attitude toward him. For long
instant she turned her keen, young
eyes to his white. thin face; and at
once It became abundantly evident
that beyond few girlish speculations
she felt no interest In him. After 4
single moment OF rather strained, po-
lite conversation with Dnn-just
enough TO satisfy her idea Of the con.
ventions-shc began thrilling girl
hood tale to her father. And she was
still telling II when they reached the
house.

ELLIS GIRLS COLLEGE
WILL HAVE NEW HOME
Site on West Chester Pike to
Be Bought for Institution
for Fatherless

Arrangements are being completed
for the purchase of a tract Of land
on the West Chester pike, near New
town Square. as the permanent lpca =
tion of the Ellis College for Fatherless
Girls. The grounds. which will be pur-
chased at an approximate cost of S120.
600. will comprise 240 acres of beau
tiful, high land.
Negotiations for the purchase OF the
tract have been under way for some
time, and II is expected the contract
will soon be signed.
The announcement that the school
will be established in the West Chester
valley region comes as surprise. as
it had been generally supposed that the
permanent buildings would be erected
on the site of the william d. Disston
estate in the Whitcmarsh Valley, where
the school Is at present located.
The college is provided for under the
will Of the late Charles f. Ellis. trac-
ton magnate. who left his entire for
tune Of approximately $4,000, 900 to be
applied to the establishment of such an
institution. The formal opening ex
erciEes took place on the Disston es-
tate nearly a year ago. although the
school was really in operation in July,
1919.
The tract Of land under consldera =
tion is deemed TO be ideal for the pur-
poses of the school. The land Is libcr-
ally covered with luxuriant woods
while beautiful stream courses through
the lowland fields.
The nature Of the buildings to .bC
erected has not yet been determined
but it is likely that they will be built
on the cottage plan. II this is carried
out, 1t would mean to assign ntteen O,
twenty girls to each house. The details
are in the hands of Malcolm Lloyd, Jr.
president Of the bourd cf trustees Of the
institution. John II. Windrim has been
retained as architect.
