Bill Dale, closely Swallowed by one
lanky Samuel Heck with his inevitable,
eyer-ready rifle, went among the work
ers with a cheer that he did not feel.
For Caleb Moreland was In Jail, and
Caleb MOreland was innocent. But
there was one sincere delight for
Dale: Hayes was driving the little
railroad ahead with all his might and
all the might of his men. Hayes was
in high favor with those under him
hey worked even harder when he was
absent than they worked when lie was
standing over them.
The days ran on, and there was no
sign Of Il hostile demonstration from
the Balls and Torreys. Judging from
appearances, they were wholly salts
fed with Caleb Moreland's being in
Jail.
Henderson Golf had disappeared.
Dale hoped that he was rid of the man
for all time, but he wasn't. Golf was
not so confident as was Major Bradley
that he could establish his innocence
in the matter of the dynamiting of the
two buildings and the trestle. He
wished very much to steer clear of
arrest, for reasons of his own, and he
was biding his time in little town
in western North Carolina. When the
dynamiting affair had blown over, he
would go back and try again, perhaps
by an altogether new scheme. to get
himself into possession of the More
land coal.
Then there came to the neighbour
hood a man whom no Moreland, and
none Of the Littlefords, had ever set
eyes upon before. He was a very I'M
cOuth mountain man, with long black
hair and shaggy beard; his clothing
was Outlandish and ragged. He had
not much to say; there was about
him, somehow, an air of mystery.
Two days after his arrival, in the
afternoon, the stranger met Dale mid
way between the Halfway switch and
the opening of the coal vein, and
stopped him with an unpraised hand.
DO you know good coal when We
see it?" he drawled.
why" asked Dale, on his guard.
The stranger looked sharply In all
directions. as though he wished to
make sure that no person was within
earshOt of them. Evidently salts
fed, he drew from trousers pocket
shining black lump of coal, which
he held out for Dale'S inspection.
What do We think O this here?' he
wanted to know.
it closely. 1t was apparently as good
as the Moreland coal, which had sent
the expert Hayes into raptures. Dale

"You won't never have the chanst,"
laughed Walt Turner.
The Balls and the TOrreys began
to close in on all sides, and a solid
ring of dark and for the most part
bearded, wickedly triumphant faces
formed itself around Dale. Adam
Balls father, the acknowledg leader
of that band of cutthroatS that was
now the Ball-Torrey faction, glared at
Dale with black eyes that were filled
with the fire of intense hatred; then
he seized Dale's revolver and thrust
it inside the waist-band of his worn
jeans trousers. Dale felt the grip
Of rough hands on his shoulders and
arms. He fully realized his great
danger; but he strove to keep all signs
OF fear out of his countenance. and
he was not unsuccessful.
81 presume this is what you call
taking the law into your own hands,
isn't it?" he said with smile that
was forced.
"IGdzactly!" snapped old Ball. I'VE
ketched We fo' the law, and we held
We TO the law, and we turned We over
to the law; and 'en. by comics. the

fact that another man confessed TO

1t was almost midnight when the
visitors left. They had been sitting
outside, on the honeysuckle-scented
front porch and in the cabin yard. At
last Bill Dale and John Moreland
were left together on the porch.

nobody seems to be greving over
Caleb's being in jail?"

he spoke.

CHAPTER XIII
Sentenced to Hama.

Sheriff Tom Flowers and four able
deputies rode out of Gainesville very
early on the following morning. They
went to the Big Pine mountain country,
and, by a scheme that entailed some
shrewdness on the part of the chief
officer, arrested two Balls and two
Torreys on suspicion and took them
away without trouble.
The two Balls and the two Torreys
were lodged in the Gainesville Jail
and offered their liberty and eXOnera-
ton from all blame in the dynamiting
affair if they would give the names
Of the other guilty parties and appear
against them. The mountaineers de-
clared stoutly that they knew nothing
whatever of the matter, and when
pressure was applied they grew sullen
and refused to talk at all.
1t was plain to Flowers that they
did know something about it. and he
finally ordered that they be kept in a
cell on a diet of bread and water until
their tongues looSened. At which the
Balls and Torreys swore loudly and
swore that they would rot in Jail
first-unless their kinsmen came and
shot up the town and liberated them
by force!
ITO me that Is proof that you four
are guilty." grimly smiled the sheriff.

JAPANESE ISSUE LEFT
TO HARDING
Ambassadors Parleys Fail to Win
Governments Approval Yet

Washington, Feb. 5.-Settlement
of diplomatic problems with Japan
especially as arising from the enact
ment by the State of California OF
antialien land ownership legisla-
ton, will be postponed until the
Harding administration assumes
office, it was indicated today by
State Department officials.
While no formal announcement
on the subject was made by the
State Department it was intimated
by officials that because of the
short lease of life left to the present
administration and the long stand
ing character of the problems now
in process of solution between the
two governments, it would be the
part of wisdom not to hasten undu-
ly their final adjournment merely
for the purpose of concluding a
treaty under this administration.
Officials also said that the recon-
mendations submitted to the re-
spective governments by Roland S.
Morris, United States Ambassador
to Japan, and Baron Shidehara, the
Japanese Ambassador here, as a re-
suit of their recent informal con-
versations directed to solution of
the problems were not to be in
terpreted as in the nature of an
agreement. 1t might be necessary,
they added, for the Ambassadors to
resume their conversations after
the two governments had studied
the reports.
Both Secretary of State Colby
and Under Secretary Davis during
the last few days have been engag-
ed in studying Ambassador Morris
report, but they have not as yet
reached the point of taking up the
question with President Wilson.
