and neither cared to speak them to
the other.
Just before they reached the noun
tain's crest, they passed a group Of
snow-laden pines that concealed big,
brown-bearded man who had been
stealthily following the trail of lone
wild turkey. He wore khaki hunting
clothes and high laced boots, and there
was a certain English fineness about
him. In his bare hands he carried a
repeating rifle, which marked him as
one born in the hills. lowlander
would have had choke-bored shotgun.
When he saw John K. Dale he
stopped suddenly. 1t might have been
intuition, or it might have been sheer
curiosity, the average hillman being
stranger to neither-he followed and
watched the two, unseen by them.
On the pine-fringed crest, Elizabeth
Littleford halted to view that which
lay around and below him. Old Dale
stopped close at her side, and he, too,
looked at that which lay around and
below them; and to his mind also there
came memories crowding.
The young woman brushed back a
hayward wisp of brown hair and
turned to the man beside her.

said. "See, there's no smoke comm

Dale understood perfectly.
Then he took his arm away, faced to
the right, and drew his hat rim low
over his eyes. For two minutes he
stood there and looked for the little old
cabin down near the foot Of the north
end Of the mountain, and he failed to
find 1t. His mind had gone back once
more to that woeful night that had cut
his life in twain. He remembered

CHAPTER XIX.
A Perfect Gross.

On the floor of the richly furnished
library of the Dale home, near west
window, Miss Elizabeth Littleford sat
reading by the fast fading light Of an
early March afternoon. Somehow she
liked to sit on the floor, and always she
liked to read; for one thing, books
helped her to forget that she was
lonely.
There were footsteps behind her,
soft footsteps because of the thick vel
vet carpet; then low voice inquired !:
Aren't you afraid you will injure
your eyes, Elizabeth? Better have a
light, hadn't you, dearY The old coal
king turned toward the switch on the
wall.
"No" she answered quickly. '4'm
through reading for today, and ! like
this twilight"
Her Improvement in speech and in
manners had gone on at surprisingly
rapid rate. She rarely spoke with any
but the simplest words, but she never
fell into anything more than bare sem
blance Of the old drawing hill dialect
unless it was while she was under the
stress Of some strong emotion.
She closed the book and looked up
with eyes that were like the first stars
in summer sky. Her beauty was
wonderful; 1t was finer and sweeter
than it had ever been before.
Old Dale stood looking thoughtfully
into her upturned face. He was a lit
tie pale. and he seemed troubled and
uneasy.
Elizabeth shook her head. You're
worrying again"
He dropped into nearby chair,
leaned slowly forward and let one
hand fall gently on her thick and silky
chestnut-brown hair.
Il wish" he said as though to him
seelf. ''that had a daughter like you"
He took his hand from her head, lay
back YEARLY IL his chair and closed
his eyes. Then he bent forward again.

Rather" smiled Dale. He closed
his eyes. His head ached, and he was
somehow very tired.
Within the hour he went to Sleep
| and when he awoke 1t was daylight on
Christmas morning. Ben LittlefOrd,
half dressed, was stirring the Goals
to life in the wide-mouthed stone fire.
place. Dale felt better than he had
expected to feel; he greeted Little
ford with the compliments of the sea-
son, arose and dressed himself.
Littleford had just gone with a
handful of kindling wood toward
the kitchen, when there was low,
light tapping at the outside door Of
Bill Dale's room. Dale arose from
his sheepskin-lined rocker before the
CHEEKY log fire, went to the door and
opened it. Before him stood a slim,
barefoot boy in the poorest of rags {;
in the pitifully slender arms there was
something wrapped rather loosely in
crumpled brown paper. Dale did not
remember having seen the lad before,
but he knew 1t was no Littleford.
"Come in, son." he invited cordial
ly-"come in and warm yourself. My

barefooted like that! Haven't you any
shoes, SOM"
"ShOes?" muttered the boy, queerly.
"Shoes?"
He was shivering from the cold. His
thin face looked pinched and blue, his
eyes big and hollow. Dale stopped,
picked him up bodily, carried him to
the old rocker he had just vacated,
and put him into it with hands as gen.
tie as any woman's.
Ill" began the boy, staring
hard-"what-"
"Now stick your feet out and warm
them, son--that's it," and Dale chafed
the poor little, dirty, half-frozen feet
and legs.
Son." he went on after a moment,
his heart throbbing out of sheer pity,
"you go to the commissary clerk and
tell him to dress you up like the
crown prince of England, if he's got
it, and charge the same to the account

ment, after which he said suddenly: Il

ElizabethT
"Of course. I'll go with you"
She thought she knew what 1t was
that stirred him. BY intuition, supple
mented by Bill Dale's occasional cryp-
tic utteranees, and pleced out by hill
tradition, Elizabeth Littleford gradu-
ally had come into possession Of the
old coal mans grim secret.
Neither of them knew that John
Moreland was then visiting his beloved
old hills for the sake Of some shooting.
The following day John X. Dale and
Elizabeth Littleford alighted from p
northbOund passenger train at the
Halfway switch, The mountains were
covered with three inches Of snow, and
the hemlock and pines bore heavy bur-

Littleford, pickering his brows

"He brought a Christmas present

"The only Christmas present you
could git from a Ball would be bull

the bundle from the boys lap; he

"By Georgel" exclaimed Bill Dale.
"What'd / tell ye?" smiled Ben Lit
tleford.
An hour later Dale and score of
Littlefords and Morelands entered the
big downstairs room Of the Office and
supplies building. The defeated Balls
and Turner's lounged here and there,
sullen and silent, on the rough-board
floor Of their temporary prison.
Dale walked into their midst and
addressed them quietly.

got what you fellows call the dead
wood on you? And that it lies in my
power to send every single one Of you

so were the others.

back your rifles and you may go
home. I'm not asking you to promise
me anything, you understand. I'm
simply trusting the human heart, and
I don't believe I'll be disappointed"
Dale turned to John MOreland.
Moreland's rugged face wore a puz-
zled, displeased smile.
IF your brother David was here"
Bill Dale demanded with bare shade
of anger in his voice, what do you
think he'd do about it? It's Christ
mas day, isn't it,"
The old MOreland chiefs counte-
nance softened; his grey eyes bright

1t was a living curse, a breathing
curse-a terrible anathema. If dead
David Moreland himself had arisen
from the tomb and uttered 1t, 1t would
not have struck John X. Dale with
greater force. He grew weak, as
though with fatal sickness. He sank
to his knees in the snow, and his iron
gray head fell forward to his breast.
Elizabeth Littleford knelt in the snow
beside him. She tried to find comfort
ing words, for she loved him and was
sorry for him, but no words would
come.
There was a slight sound, the muf-
fled breaking Of a dry twig in the
snow just beyond the palings in front
Of them. Elizabeth Littleford looked
up to see the giant figure Of John
Moreland, whose face was white and
whose eyes were filled with the fire Of
hate and anger, who held rifle in his
cold, bare hands. The rifles hammer
came back, and the fine trigger caught
1t with faint click.
Moreland took another step forward
and leveled the weapon across the
palings.
"Ef it was any use TO- ye to pray,
Carlyle" he said, and his voice was
shaking and hoarse and choked, "Td
give We time. But 1t amt no use at all.
Look up. Face 1t. Try to be man TO-
one second in yore low-down life"
Old Dale raised his head, saw David
Moreland's brother, and realized all
there was to realize. His eyes widened
a little; then a look of relief fitted
across his heavy countenance.
"Shoot and even up the score" he
said brayely, and his head was high.
According to your code, tits just. And
I'll be able to forget at last, at last. So

mountaineer's code Of honor demands
that the mountaIneer himself collect
that which Is due him.
"Tell me-" he said in tones 80 low
that Elizabeth barely heard. 'where lie
David Moreland bpriedr'
He had turned, and stood facing her.
She pointed to the southwark.
"They buried him out the crest o.
the mountain a little ways, on the
highest place, by the side of his
wife. That was always a touchin'
thing to me, that he buried his wife on
the very highest point Of his own
mountain. You know why, don't you?
David Moreland believed in God and a
hereafter, and he believed that heaven
was up. He wanted to get even his
wife's ashes as close to heaven as he
could"
"I-rd like to go out there" John
Dale said, his voice almost whisper.
I'D IKE to see the place."
Il wouldn't" replied Ben Little
ford's daughter. For she knew-oh,
she knew.
''Yes, yes my dear-I must see the
place." declared John X. Dale, hoarse-
ly whispering-'let's go out there"
There was never any disobeying him
when he was determined, and he was
determined now. 1t is strange, that
dread human thing that drew him
Elizabeth turned and started out
the snowy crest Of the mountain, .wend-
ing her way here and there between
clumps of snOw-heavy laurel and ivy
and under snow-heavy pines. After
quarter of an hour of this somewhat
difficult travelling, the two drew up be-
fore small Enclosure made Of round
oaken posts and round open ratings
and hand-split and pointed oaken pal
ings as high as mans shoulders. all
Of which were gray and weatherbeat-
en-. Elizabeth knew the spot well. She
swung the gate stiffly open on its wood
en- hinges and stepped inside. Old Dale,
trembling in every fiber, followed her.
His face was very, very pale.
Before them were two snow-covered
mounds bordered with the dead stalks
of flowers of another year-marigolds,
pretty-by-nights, zinnias. Near the
two graves there grew bare-branched
wild honeysuckle and redbud, and
green-leaved laurel, which in the sum-
mer time were covered with beautiful
and fragrant blossoms of golden yell
low, royal purple, and waxen white. At
the head of one mound a great, rough
ly-shaped slab Of brown sandstone
marked the last resting place of David
Morelands young wife; it had been
lettered by David Moreland himself,
and it was crude but sincere tribute
to womankind.
On the face Of the other great slab
of brown sandstone were chiseled other
ill-shaped letters and misspelled
words. The hands Of John Moreland
had done this. Old John Dale stepped
unsteadily closer and read:
