CHAPTER XII
BY Heck Keeps a Secret.

~ ''SSN fNSSPo d SSSiCl
When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the
others had been gone for half an hour,
Elizabeth Littleford sat up in the si-
| lence. 1t was a great and heavy silence
that lowered there over the north end
of David Moreland's mountain. There
was not even the drumming of yel-
lowhammer. not even the saucy chat
tering of boomer squirrel, not even
the twittering of bird. Not n leaf
stirred anywhere. Everything seemed
iifeless. 1t was almost as though she
We're the sole inhabitant of the world
Then she thought. 1t was noontime
and the officer and his prisoner would
| doubtless halt at John Moreland's
cabin for the MONDAY meal; and il
she hastened she would get to see Bill
Dale again.
So she ran like doe through the
green woodland, through the tangle Of
laurel and ivy and over the moss
covered stones. across shoulder OF
David Moreland's mountain. She was
barefOoted, and her dress was a sim
pie garment Of white dotted blue
calico, and her long brown hair flowed
behind her like the hair of young
witch-because of the excitement of
the morning, she had forgotten to give
it its usual daily plating.
AS she drew near to the Moreland
leaders home, she saw Bill Dale and
the sheriff walk out at the gateway
and mount their horses. Major Brad
ley came out, and he, too, mounted his
horse; and she was glad that he was
going along. There was a great crowd !:
all the LittlefOrds were there, and all
the Morelands, and old Granny Heck,
the fortune-teller. On every face Babe
saw signs of sympathy and sorrow.
Her eyes filed. She was so glad that
they too. loved him. 1t was Worth 90
ing to Jail to know that one was loved
like that! Not that it didn't hurt to
see him going to Jail, OF course. Jail
and horror are words that mean the
same to the mountain dweller.
She went on to tell him gOod-by.
She knew it would be hard, but she
steeled herself; she would be Little
ford, and strong. He saw her coming.
and he turned his bay horse and rode
to meet her. She stopped and clasped
her hands, with her arms down full
length, and tried to smile at him.
You promised me-" he said gently.

| lock and went toward the writhing
Goliath, whose legs only were visible
now.
Then third shot rang out on the
morning stiffness. 1t had been fired
from point some little distance
away, and Dale's condition of mind at
the moment was such that he didn't
even note the direction from which
the sound had come. He was unhurt,
and he had not heard the whine of a
bullet or the pattering of shot on the
leaves. When he looked about him,
he saw no one; neither did he see any
telltale smoke. Perhaps, he thought
dimly. it had been a sQuirrel-hunter
that had fired that shot. He forgot
about it very quickly for the time be-
ing, and went on toward Adam Ball,
who now was lying perfectly still.
There was a bullet-hole through and
through the great, shaggy head. The
face behind the short, curly black
beard was of the colorless hue of
soapstone. The giant hillman was
dead.
Bill Dale knelt there beside Black
with his two shaking hands, and this
time he tore his blue flannel shirt. All
the agony and all the remorse in the
universe seemed to be gathering there
in his heart. Never before had he
seen death. Its grim presence terrified
him. That the deplorable thing had
been an accident, due TO his faulty
craftsmanship, mattered little. He
had killed man. and the blOod-red
brand of Cain was burning away on
his brow; he was man in hell of
Bill Dale sobbed great sob that
shook his broad shoulders as a violent
ague would have shaken them.
He tried to look at the blue-edged
hole in the shaggy head; at the cruel
british face that was of the colorless
hue of soapstone. Merciful tears
blinded him, and he couldn't see. 1t
was compensation, pitifully beauti-
full compensation.
Five minutes passed, five minutes
that were as five years to this man
who had never been in the presence
of death before. Then he realized that
he was being surrounded by kinsmen
of the dead mountaineer He looked
up into their ashen, angry faces, and
they cursed him. Big and gripping
brown hands were placed upon him;
several rifles We're turned upon him.
He arose and spread out his arms, and
offered his breast to the frowning muz-
zles. They could give him, at least,
oblivion.
Shoot, if you like he said bitterly.
1T was an accident, y'know, but
shoot, if you like"
NO" commanded Adam Balls
father, slender and angular old man
with a struggling iron-gray beard

CHAPTER x-continued.

little after work-time that day,
Bill Dale started alone on the way of
she narrow-gauge railroad for the sid
fng. He wished to see for himself just
what the damage had been to the
arestle, and he hoped to meet Goff, or
Ball, or a Torrey, and learn some
thing that would be to his advantage.
Before he had covered two miles, he
had seen two of the enemy skulking
through the woods, and he recognized
them for Torreys from Jerusalem
Cove and Hatton's Hell; he knew it
by their very swarthy skin, their nigh
cheekbones and their coarse black
hair. the outcroppings of the Cherokee
Indian blood in them. They looked
cunning and wicked. Dale loosened
In its holster the big revolver that
Major Bradley had persuaded him to
,.arry for his own protection. John
Moreland had taught him how to use
firearms
At a point near where the little
stream that flowed past the Halfway
switch emptled into Doe river, where
Doe river turned almost squarely to
the left, Dale halted abruptly. He had
seen man dart behind a scrubby oak
some thirty yards ahead of him; quite
naturally, he concluded that the fell
low meant to wayiay him, and he, too,
stepped behind tree, a big hemlock.
4 silent minute went by. Then Dale
put his hat out on one side of the tree
and peeped from the other side; it
nj ft.ir irtr a
land had told him about. rifle
cracked promptly and sharply, and a
bullethoie appeared in the rim of his
hat!
Following 1t, there came the coarse.
bass voice of Black Adam Ball, the
Tnountaineer Goliath:
You CANT fool me. jest shot to
put a hole in yore new hat and to
show We at l amt no bad shot. You
CANT hit my hiatt"
Dale's temper, the temper that bad
always been so hard to keep under
control, rose quickly. He tried to rea-
son with himself. and couldn't; his
passion mastered him. He snatched
the big revolver from its holster and
cooked it. With as steady a hand as
ever held a weapon trained. he began
to take aim at Ball's slouch hat, the
half of which was in plain view at one
side of the scrubby oak.
81 fooled you once, back there in
the middle of the river" he cried hot
ly, "and now I'm going to fool you
again -
There was ln his voice that old. old
primitive rage. which frightened him.
and puzzled him too, in his better mo-
fnents.
He let down the bead until it was
barely visible in the notch, and eased
of the trigger. The revolver roared
and spat forth tiny tongue of flame
and little cloud of white smoke. Ball
sprang erect, wheeled, and fell crash
ing to the leaves!
Dale dropped his weapon. He went
as white as death. and his two hands
clutched uncertainty at his throat. He
was a murdereri No, he .wasn't-his
bullet had gone Wild; it had struck
Balls head on the other side of the
tree, by accident. But how could he
prove that 1t had been an accident?
Would any jury believe him? 1t was
