NANcYs STORY

History Museum in Washington the

Il hope, Daddy" said Nick, "you
found time to do a little business too,
for you certainly found time to see
things to tell US about"
yes" laughed Daddy, 81 managed
to squeeze in little time for business
too, but there were many things /
knew I'd want to tell you about and
so saw all of them l could.
''There were many old and wonder
full costumes, and I could just picture
to myself how Nancy would love dress
ing up in the very quaint and very
old dresses and hats and shawls and
capes.
Figures wore these wonderful
costumes and then there were some
costumes which were just shown off
without being on figures. They had
dresses such as people would wear
to balls and receptions or to business
or for every day during the different
years when the styles were different,
just as the styles change now all the
time.
"Of course, Nick, you and / aren't

WHO turkey. He were khaki hunting
clothes and high laced boots, and there
was certain English fneness about
him. In his bare hands he carried d
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.
''The Moreland part O. the settle
ment looks lonesome, don't it?" she
said. "See, there's no smoke comm
from their cabin chimneys. -" She
went on absently, "But the Littlefords
are there yet"
Old Dale caught the meaning that
was in the latter sentence. 1t was not
shallow meaning.
''We are going to take care of the
Littlefords. Elizabeth" he assured her.

DO YOU know this boy. Benz"

10 you know THIS boy, Ben
Its Lyss Balls boy" answered
Littleford, puckering his brows.
What's he a-doin' here?"
He brought a Christmas present
for me-" said Dale, 'but he has de-
cided that / shan't have it."
'"The only Christmas present you
could git from a Ball would be bull
let" frowned Ben Littleford.
He stepped to the rocker and took
the bundle from the boys lap; he
took away the crumpled brown pa
per-and there in his hands was a
loaded and cooked revolver
"By George" exclaimed Bill Dale.
"What'd I tell YEP 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 younged here and there,
sullen and silent, on the rough-board
floor of their temporary prison.
Dale walked into their midst and
addressed them quietly.
you'll admit, won't you, that I've
got what you fellows call the dead
wood on you? And that it lies in my
power to send every single one OF you
to the state penitentiary?"
II reckon So" admitted Adam Balls
father. He was pretty well cowed, and
SO were the others.
"But I've decided not to do it" went
on Bill Dale. Il can't forget that this
is Christmas day. You may have your
liberty as a present from the man
you've tried so hard and so unjustly
to kill. After the doctor gets through
with Little Tom and Saul Littleford,
he will come here to dress all your
wounds; then our guards will give you
back your rifles, and you may go
home. I'm not asking you to promise
NE anything, you understand. I'm
simply trusting the human heart, and
don't believe I'll be disappointed"
Dale turned to John Moreland
Moreland's rugged face wore a puz-
zled, displeased smile.

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
ened. YES" he said, sits Christmas
day, Bill" He looked toward the Balls
and Turner's.
Merry Christmas, genlemen!" he
said.
Adam Balls father Immediately
asked him for a chew Of tobacco.

planned out to hang 'em all on big
green hemlock as a Christmas tree fo'
Bill! Some devilish rough Christmas
eve ye're a-havin', Bill, old boy, amt
it?"
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 it 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 Dales 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 it was no Littleford.
Come in, son." he invited cordial
ly-"come in and warm yourself. My
goodness alive, it's too cold to go
barefooted like that Haven't you any
shoes, son?'
"Shoes?" muttered the boy, queerly.
"Shoes 2"
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.
AL" 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

own some special kind of tam be-
cause it was fashionable
"Oh Daddy" said Nancy, "you
shouldn't listen to such things!"
SWELL" said Daddy, "Tm sure the
new tam will be very becoming as
I've also heard you're going to have
it.
s'But to return to the dresses and
costumes I want to tell you about.
"Not only did they show dresses
and costumes and suits such as were
worn in the days of our grandmothers
and great grandmothers and great,
great grandmothers and grandfathers,
but they had dolls which belonged to
the people long ago.
"Fancy that There were dolls
which belonged to the great-grand-
daughter of Major Bradford, who was
an aide-de-camp to Washington.
"There were dolls and toys which be-
longed to children at different periods
of time, years ago.
"Some of the dolls had blue eyes,
and some had brown eyes. Many Of
them wore real lace and looked very
fine and wonderful.
"There were some toys too, and
there were some sets Of dolls china
which didn't look unlike the china

which belonged to children in 1870.

to washington should go and see the

"But Nick, have something to lell

of all kinds in this building too, and
automobiles.
Boats just like the very first boats

and in the automobiles and shouldn't

Nancy might like to see the lovely
laces and the beautiful bags, the
dresses, and the dolls, but there is
plenty for a boy to see there too"
"Some time We'll have to go and
see Them" said Nancy.
'I'll add that to my list" said Nick.

That which the boy said next stry,r'-

The boy went on: "My name, It's

foreinger toward the bundle in his
lap. ''But you amt a-goin' to git it

"Why?'' Dale asked smilingly.
"Whyl Shoes ATS why. Hi,

"Son," protested Bill Dale, you're

"Yes," quickly, "I'm small. I'm small

Again Dale laughed. Mountain su-

Dale arose and faced him.

marked the last resting place of DAVID
Moreland's young wife; it had been
lettered by David Moreland himself,
and 1t 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 his. Old John Dale stepped
unsteadily closer and read:
HEAR LAYS DAVID MoRELAND
THE BEST MAN GOD
EVER MAID
KILLED
BY JOHN x cARLILE
MAY GOD
DAM HIS
SOLE
1t was living curse, breathing
curse-a terrible anathema. If dead
David Moreland himself had arisen
from the tomb and uttered it, it would
not have struck John K. 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 a rifle in his
cold, bare hands. The rifles hammer
came back, and the fine trigger caught
it with faint click.
Moreland took another step forward
and leveled the weapon across the
pdlluSS.
EFF it was any use fo' We to pray,
Carlyle" he said, and his voice was
shaking and hoarse and choked, It'd
give ye time. But it amt no use at all.
Look up. Face it. Try to be a 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 wideped
a little; then look Of relief fitted
across his heavy countenance.
Shoot and even up the score, he
said bravely, and his head was high.
According to your code, it is just. And
I'll be able to forget at last. at last So
shoot and settle the account
