lock and went toward the writhing Goliath, whose legs only were visible now.
 Then a third shot rang out on the morning stiffness. It 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 whilr of bullet or the pattering of shot on the leaves. When he looked abOut him, he saw no one; neither did Ire 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 bullet-hole through and through the great, shaggy head. The beard was of the colorless hue of soapstone. The giant hillman was dead
 Bill Dale knelt there beside Black Adam. Again he clutehed at his throat 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 a man in a hell Of his own making. And kneeling there Bill Dale sobbed great sob that shook his broad shoulders as violent ague would have shaken them.
 He tried to look at the blue-edged hole in the shaggy head; at the cruel, hrutish face that was of the colorless hue of soapstOne. Merciful tears blinded him, and he couldn't see. It was a 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 were turned upon him. He arose and spread out his arms. and offered his breast to the drowning muz- zles. They could give him, at least, oblivion.
 "Shoot, if you like" he said bitterly. Tt was an accident, y'know, but shoot, if you like

CHAPTER XI
By Heck Keeps a Secret.


 When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the others had been gone for half an hour | Elizabeth Littleford sat up in the si- ence. It 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 a vel l0whammer not even the Saucy chat tering of a boomer squirrel, not even the twittering of d bird Not a leaf stirred anywhere Everything seemed lifeless. It was almost as though she were the sole inhabitant of the world.
 Then she thought. It was noontime, and the officer and his prisoner would doubtless halt at John Moreland's cabin for the monday meal; and if she hastened she would get to see Bill Dale again.
 So she ran like a doe through the green woodland through the tangle of laurel and ivy and over the moss covered stones, across a shoulder of David MoreIands mountain. She was barefooted, and her dress was a sim pie garment of white-d dotted blue calico, and her long brown hair flowed behind her like the hair of a young witch-because of the excitement of the morning, she had forgotten to give it it's usual daily plaitmg.
 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 i; 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 filled. She was so glad that they, too, loved him. It was worth go- 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 tbe 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, that you'd go back to Patricia and finish your education"
 q keep my promises, was the quick reply. jest like every other Littleford | that ever lived kept their promises. l

 Dale had by this time worn the keen edge from his grief by means of his great will power. He bowed slightly to the officer and replied with grave courtesy
 Believe me. sir" with the very faintest trace of smile, q am very much obliged 10 you
 Luke Moreland led up the sleek young bay that Bill Dale had named Fox, and Dale swung himself easily into the saddle. He faced the sheriff.

 Together they rode through the woodland toward the broad, green val ley, with the Littlefords. the More lands, Major Bradley and Hayes fol- lowing closely behind them.
 Up on the side of David Moreland's mountain there had been silent and unseen witness to the arrest of Bill Dale. She was hidden behind a gnarled and twisted clump of sheep laurel, sitting on patch of tiny, dainty, pure blue dayflowers-crushing

CHAPTER x-Continued.

little after wolk-time that day, Bill Dale started alone on the way of the narrow-gauge railroad for the sid ing. He wished to see for himself just what the damage had been to the trestle, and he hoped to meet Golf, or Ball. or q Torrey. and learn some thing that would be ts 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 high cheekbones and their coarse black hair, the outcroppings of the Cherokee Indian blood in them. They looked cunning and wicked. Dale loosened in it's holster the big revolver that Major Bradley had persuaded him to carry 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 empted into Doe river, where Doe river turned almost squarely to the left. Dale halted abruptly. He had seen a man dart behind a scrubby oak some thirty yards ahead of him quite naturally, he concluded tliat the fel- low meant to waylay him, and he, too, stepped behind a tree a big hemlock.
 A silent minute went by. Then Dale put his hat out on one side of the tree and peeped from the other side; it was an old trick that Grandpap More land had told him about. A rifle cracked promptly and sharply and a bulleth0le appeared in the rim of his hatl
 Following it, there came the coarse bass voice of Black Adam Ball, the mountaineer Goliath
 You cain't fool me. l jest shot to put hole in yore new hat and to show ye at I ain't no bad shot. You cain't hit my hatn'
 Dale's temper, the temper that had always been so hard to keep under control rose quickly. He tried to req son with himself, and couldn't; his passion mastered him. He snatched the big revolver from it's holster and cooked it. With as steady hand as ever held weapon trained, he began to take aim at Balls slouch hat, the half of which was in plain view at one side of the scrubby oak.
 q fooled you once, back there in the middle of the river" he cried hot ly, "and now Pm going to fool you again '"
 There was in his voice that old, old primitive rage, which frightened him, and puzzled him too, in his better mo mepts.
 barely visible in the notch, and eased off 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 murderer No, he wasn't-his bullet had gone wild; it had struck Balls head or. the other side of the tree, by accident. But how could he prove that i. had been an accident? Would any Jury believe him? II was far from probable.

 When Bill Dale had ridden out of her sight. she threw down the crushed flowers and flung herself prostrate, with her face close to the hemlock needles and the earth, and wept low and bitterly, and wept and wept-
