CHAPTER III
Goliath of the Hills.

Dale aWoke a little after daybreak arose and dressed himself, and went out by way of the door beside the huge stone-and-clay chimney
 The mountain air was bracing. Dale threw out his chest and started eager ly for walk
 The road led past the cabin of Grandpap Moreland. When Dale was directly in front of the log house, he saw the aged mountaineer standing on a rickety sawhorse beside the stone step at the narrow porch; Grandpap Moreland was helping gray cat down from the roof.
 "Mornin'! I was jest a-takin' that thar cussfred old pest down offen the roof I've took him down every morn in as reg'lar as I make fires, fo' three year or more. Eff it wasn't bad luck to kill a cat, r shoot him. mebbe."
 After breakfasting with John More land, Bill Dale borrowed fishing-taekle from his host, and set out alone for the little river.
 There were many shoals and rapids, and he went almost half a mile before he found place to his. liking It was a beautiful spot. Above, the water poured between two great boulders with a gentle roar; below, it shallowed out over round stones. Overhead lowered tall white sycamores.
 Not until he had put a minnow on the hook and cast it out did .1e see that he was not alone at the pool. On the other side, less than sixty feet away, Babe Littleford sat on a stone the size of a small barrel she he 2 cane fishing-rod in her hands, her bare feet were in the water to ankles. She was looking squarely ward Dale and there was snnieth =.

 The Friend-You're losing your wool, lad.
 The Victim-Yes, I am getting a bit thin on top.
 The Friend-Wel, they say wool won't grow on wood
 The Victim-Thats so; and they also say that wheat won't grow in busy street.

The Combat Grew Hotter and Hotter. had whipped the Goliath she had all ways dreaded. But she had gone only a few yards toward the center of the river when John Moreland and Sam Heck reached the unconscious figures.
 Heck dragged Ball to the Littleford bank and left him lying there, face downward, on the sand Moreland half carried half dragged Bill Dale to the other bank Babe Littleford waded out. She paid absolutely no attention to the worsteA bully. She stood in- tently watching the limp, form of Dale.
 'Is he dead John Moreland?" she called tremuously.
 "No, Babe," Moreland answered, his voice not unkind; "he ain't anyways nigh dead"
 He and Sam Heck took up Dale's dripping figure and bore it away Babe Iittleford ran to higher ground hid herself behind clump of sassafras and watched them.
 Granny Heck followed with Dale's coat and hat. Sue chattered all the way across the meadow
 Now what did I tell ye John and Sam? What did 1 tell ye? La, Ia Wasn't it a master fight, like I said now wasn't it?"
 Sometimes ye make me a little tired, granny-woman," Moreland re- monstrated gently. ''The' ain't nothin' in forchune-tellin'. You've jest been here fo' so long 'at you know how to jedge the future by the past. And you're a tolable good guesser, too, I reckon"
 Granny Heck flared up quickly: "Ain't nothin in forchune- -tellin! Now don't go and fool yeself, John Moreland. You listen to me about a half minute, John. I seed more in the cup an I told MT. Bill. I seed blood and death. seed a big fight atwixt the Morelands and the Littlefords p
 That's easy to guess at," John Moreland replied You know, O course lat Black Adam will do all he can to bring trouble to us on account O Bill Dale a-stayin' with us And you know it aip't never impossible to hatch up war atWeen us and the Lit tlefords. Jest run on ahead, Granny Heck, and tell my wife to hunt up some kind O good liniment fo' Bills bruises. Tell her she needn't to wasta time ;i-lookin ID any bandages. This man here is llae me: he wouldn't wear bandages, cause they look bad"

ing Dale slowly backward and down- ward more by reason of weight than of strength; another moment and Ball was about to sink the brown head un- der the surface!
 Babe Lttleford gave smothered cry. John Moreland stepped toward the water and shouted hoarsely:
 Don't ye drowned him Adaml Eff ye do, yell answer to mel
 Dale had gathered himself for a last move. He slipped downward suddenly, immersing himself completely, and shot one arm around Balls thigh then, by a great effort, he rose with the giant and overthrow him, and staggered free
 Balls hairy face came to the surface first. Dale fought back the pain of the water in his lungs, and the pain as of sharp and jagged sliyers of steel in his hands, and struck madly, half blindly, at the hateful face. He kept | it down, but it wouldn't go under the water completely. -.
 Adam Ball began to drift as though lifeless down the stream. Bill Dale followed, still fighting weakly, choking as he breathed. But soon he ceased to strike. He saw, instead of the beast like face, flashes as of distant summer lightning. and red blotches against thick blackness The blotches faded, ana all became dark to him; he pitched forward, gasping, and began to drift down the stream with the vanQuished Ball.
 Babe Littleford was standing in the water to her knees When Dale sue csmbed to utter exhaustion, she start ed toward him, to save him from drowning. She felt strangely drawn toward the big, white, clean man who

BLACK ADAM.

Synopsis.-Y Young Carlyle Wilbur ton Dale, or Bill Dale,' as he elects to be known, son of a wealthy coal operator, John K. Dale, ar rives at the Halfway Switch, in eastern Tennessee, abandoning life of idle ease-and incidentally bride, Patricia Clavering, at the al Predetermined to make his own way in life. He meets Babe Lit tleford, typical mountaineer girl. By" Heck, a character of the hills, takes him to John More lands home. Moreland is cAief of his "clan," which has an old feud with the Littlefords. He tells Dale of the killing of his brother, David Moreland, years ago, owner of rich coal deposits, by a man named Carlyle. Moreland's description of Carlyle" causes Dale to believe the man was his father.

 "I'm an abe-bodied man." Dale re- turned smilingly.
 You shore are," drowned Moreland, but mebbe you ain't used 10 durned hard fightin'"
 Not used to hard fighting Dae's smile broadened. Once he had whipped d heavyweight pugilist; and he had fought as 8 matter of principle, and not for money or prestige.
 MorelaHd suddenly jer.ed one thumb toward the other side of the stream. Dale looked and saw, stantiin, beside

akin to reproaehful anger in her long brown eyes.
 Good morning!" called Dale, lifting his hat.
 There was no reply. There was not even change of countenance Again Dale called his friendly greeting, and again there was no reply. It piqued Dale.
 A few yards down the stream the white body of a sycamore lay from one bank to the other; it had been blown there by a recent storm. Dale wound his line, went down and crossed by means of the prostrate tree.
 She didn't even look around when he walked up to her and spoke again. It struck him as being decidedly odd
 "I say" he told her, you're as chatty as set of stencils. You mustn't talk so much, y'know."
 Her eyes smiled at the river, but Dale couldn't see her eyes.
 Do you like vi6lets, Miss Little ford?" he asked next.
 In the black mica-starEed soil at his feet grew carpet of the finest violets he had ever seen. Babe let the tip of her cane rod fall into the water and looked around.
 Ut sounds funny to hear man talk O sech little things as vi'lets," she de- clared. Most O men don't think O nothin' but workin', huntin, tightin' and eatin'. I'm little mad at you !! 1 went home yeste'day-and I think I run might nigh the whole six mile and fixed up dinner fo' you, cause l understood you was a-comin' to our house and you went to them low down Morelands '"
 T beg pardon" he said contritely; didn't know you were especially eX- pecting me. I had business" he added, with John Moreland."
 There came to his ears from some where down the river the chorus of a rakish old hill song, and the voice was that of the lanky moonshiner, By Heck
 "Oh, when I die, dont-a bury me deep, Put no tombstone at my head and feet, Put bears JaWbone In my right n2nd On my way to the Promised La-a-and,
 Oh! On my way to the Promised
 Landt
 A few minutes later there appeared on the MoreIand side of the river the singer of the rakish old song; he had a minnow pail in one hand and a white l hickory rod i'll the other.
 Hi. thar, Bill, old boy." he yelled "Hi, thar, Babe! Either of ye'uns ketched anything?"
 Ben Littleford's daughter held up a fish proudly, Heck slapped his thigh with his slouch hat.
 Good fo' you" he exclaimed. But they aint a-bitin' jest right. The moons wrong, and the signs is wrong fo' fshin'."
 At that instant John Moreland ap- peared at Heck's side. He seemed very serious about something.
 Bill Dale," he called, "come over here"
 Wondering, Dale put down his rod and turned to obey. Two minutes later he stood before John Moreland.
 q jest wanted to tell ye," and the mountaineer almost closed one alert
Cleveland County herald., 1921-07-14

Moreland's bedtime prayer was very simple, and very earnest, and it had in it more of thanksgiving than of application. And a part of it certain ly was uncommon
 "Bless the stranger with us here to- night, and all O our kinfolks, and all O our friends, and our inimies, the ttlefords-'specially the Littlefords. Aymen '"
 Dale was deeply impressed. He heard Mrs. Moreland dimly when she told him to let her know-she would hear him if he called-if there wasn't enough cover for his bed. Then he found himself alone with the stalwart chief of the Morelands
 He stepped forward and put his hand on the mountaineer's shoulder.
 'Ho~ man can go down on his knees and pray for his enemies" smiled Dale, 'is entirely beyond me. Do you really mean it?'
 T try hard to-" Moreland said quick ly. Tn a-doin' that" he went on, T go Ben LittIeford one better. Ben Littleford's the bell sheep O the peo- pie who lives acrost the river from us, people we've hated fo' years and years. Ben, he holds fambly prayers, too, every night. He'd ax the blessin' O the Lord on the stranger onder his roof, but not on his inimies, the More lands. Yes, I try hard to mean it, Bill Dale''
 And that other enemy" murmured Dale-and he wondered why that should bother him so much, why he should feel that vague responsibility about it-"the man who killed your brotAer, David"
 T don't never pray fo' him." inter- rupted the mountaineer going little pale, q hain't that nigh juffect. A man don't git so good at he axes the Almighty to bless the devil-or the rattler in the laurels, or the copper head lat waits onder a bush fo the passin' O some bare-legged child.'
 Dale winced, but Moreland didn't notice it. Dale let his hand fall from the others shoulder. Moreland began to speak again:
 T didn't tell ye afore, Bill Dale. My brother David, he was the hope O his people. He was better'n the rest of us. The one big aim O his life was to educate us all the benighted Yes, we're benighted and we know it. He meant to do it with the coal he'd found. As I've done told ye, we ain't never had the heart to sell the coal. l hope yell have a fine rest, Bill Dale. l ain't a-goin to call ye Mister no more, Bill Dale!"
 'Don't!" smilingly said the younger man. Bill Dale' is right, y'know. Goodnight, John Moreland p
 Dale removed his shoes and outer clothing, blew out the light, and went to bed in the best rooms hand-carved black walnut fourposter.
 For long time he lay there awake and stared through a little window to. ward bright star that burned like q beacon fire about the pine-fringed crest of David Moreland's mountain iiO DCilefeu He uItutiStOOu HOW WHy his father had turned a greenish gray when this coal property was mentioned to him. He believed he understood why his father had fatly refused to investigate this vein. But he was wholly at a loss to account for the use of his own given name instead of Dale.
 Looking toward the mountain again, he spoke as though he were talking to David Moreland himself:
 'Ill see it through for you, old man. This shall be my country"
