 They were standing on the crest of David Moreland's mountain. Below them lay a broad valley checkered with small farms; and each farm had its log cabin, it's log barn and it's apple orchard. Beyond it all rose the great and majestic Big Pine, which was higher and more rugged with cliffs than David Moreland's mountain.

 CHAPTER 1.
David Morefand's Mountain.

DaVid Mofetano'S MounIdfn. Carlyle Wilburton Dale-known to himself and a few close friends as Bill Dale-had laid out course of action almost before the northbound train had left the outskirts of the state cap ital behind. It incurred facing big odds; but other men had faced big odds and won out, and what others had done he could do. Indeed, he had already done several things which other men might not have thought of doing and one of them was leaving a bride, not figuratively but literally, at the altar in a fashionable church But he knew Patricia hadn't wanted to marry him any more than he had wanted to marry her.
 It was only natural for him to think or coal, now that he had cut loose for all time from the "set" in which he had always been a colossal misfit, now that he must pull his own oars or vir- tually perish. He had heard coal talked since the day of his birth; to nm coal and business meant exactly the same.
 One of his fathers associates had often spoken of a fine vein in the mountains of eastern Tennessee-had ollen tried to persuade his father to LOOK into it, to no avail, Young Dale re- membered that this vein lay not far rom long railroad siding called the halfway Switch, in the vicinity of Big rihe mountain. The owners were mountain folk of English descent, his iathef's associate had said. Decidedly strange, thought Dale, that his father nad never cared to investigate it.
 The cindery little train reached the iOnS siding about the middle of a fine spring morning. Dale took up his bag. nastened out and soon found himself Nahdlng alone in the heart of an ex- uelnely wild section of country.
 when the noises of the little train ana the fast mail it had just met had ulea away, there came the saucy chat 'erihg of boomer-squirrels and the sweet twittering of birds. Dale caught me Joyous spirit. He could have .airiy shouted out of the fullness of HIS very human heart. Here all was unspoiled and unprofaned, and some uiing Whispered within him:
 They won't call you a savage nere-make this your own countryl"
 from somewhere on nearby .aouhtainside rifles keen report split 'ne air; a bullet whined like a mad nornet; Dale's hat jumped little on
 The awakening was exceedingly 'uue' Dale wheeled, his gray eyes aoiaze, and saw only a tiny cloud of suioke-mist rising from the laurels Dore than fifty feet away.

went with him whar he went, and he went with me whar I went. I'd fight 1 fo him, and he'd fight fo' me- It's hard to tell, even alter this long time. ...
 David, he was a strappin' big man, like all O the Morelands. He was about yore size, and grey-eyed like you, and he had brown hair like you. When you walked up to the gate, it made me think O him the day he was married; he was all dressed up in dark blue like you. . Then David found this vein O coal. He got law l full p'session O the mountain, and moved his wife up here. The rest of us lived over in the Laurel Fork coun try then.
 "One day I got letter from David, which said that man named John K. Carlyle was a-goin' to buy his noun tain and the coal, and said that his wife was pow'fuI sick. A week later she died, and left baby which died, | too, accordin' to a old Injun by the name O Cherokee Joe, who knowed my pap and knowed David. And a month later we was all dragged from our beds by this same Cherokee Joe, tellin' us that Carlyle had shot David. Carlyle, Cherokee Joe said, was a-drinkin' hard. The Injun seed the l shootin' through a window.
 Tt was might nigh to three days | later when we got here and found pore David a-layin' whar he'd fell. We secured the mountains fo' miles and miles around in a s'arch fo' the dawg who killed him, but we never found him. The land up here looked purity, and it belonged to us l by David's death; so we all moved up here to live, and built us cabins.
 Major Bradley found out about the end O my brother, and he wanted us 1 to put the case in the hands O the law But we wouldn't do it. A More land never goes to law about anything. He pays his own debts, and he collects what is his due"
 John Moreland arose and paced the porch floor, which creaked under his | weight. He stopped before Dale, and went on sadly:
 Now yell know why I was so much tore up when I heered yore name, the | Carlyle part. John K. Carlyle killed the best man lat ever lived. And meb- be yell understand why we aint never had the conscience to sell the coal, which cost Brother David his life"
 Moreland's guest sat staring absent ly toward a brown-winged butterfly that was industriously slipping honey from the heart of honeysuckle bloom. He gave no sign that he had heard anything out of the ordinary, but in an odd. persistent way his mind seemed to connect his father, John K. Dale; with the story he had just heard. John K Dale had come originally from West Virginia, and he. had flatly refused time upon time, to make any investigation of the Moreland coal property.
 The hiIlman interrupted young Dale's thinking:
 "Addie, she's a-goin' to have dinner ready purty soon. Would ye like to wash, MT. Dale?"
 Yes" was the answer, and in the tones of Bill Dale's quiet voice there was shade of meaning that More land did not catch. "Yes, I'd like to wash"
