CHAPTER !.
David Moreland's Mountain.


Carlyle Wilburton Dale-known to
himself and few close friends as Bill
Dale-had laid out course OF action
almost before the northbound train
hnd left tho outskirts OF the state cnp-
ital behind. II incurred facing big
oddn; but other men had faced big
odds and won out, and what others
had done he could do. Indeed, Ne had
already done several things which
other men might not have thought of
doing, and one of them was leaving a
bride, not flguratively but literally, ut
the altar ln(a fashionable church But
he knew pStiicia hadn't wanted to
marry him any more than he had
wanted to marry her.
II was only natural for him to think
of coal, now that he had cut loose for
nil time from the "set" In which he
had always been colossal mistit, now
that he must pull his own oars or vir-
tually perish. lie had heard coal
talked since the day OF his birth; to
him coal and business meant exactly
the same.
One OF his fathers associates had
often spoken of fine vein In the
mountains OF eastern Tennessee-had
often tried to persuade his father to
look Into II, to no avail, Young Dale re-
membered that this vein lay not far
from long railroad siding called the
Halfway Switch, In the vicinity OF Big
Pine mountain. The owners were
mountain folk OF English descent his
fathers associate had said. Decidedly
strange, thought Dale. that his father
had never cared TO investigate II.
The cindery little train reached the
long siding about the middle of fine
spring morning, Dale took up his bag,
hastened out. and soon found himself
standing alone In the heart Of nm ex-
tremcly wild section OF country.
When the noises of the little train
and the fast mail II had just met had
died away, there came the saucy chat
tering OF boomer-squlrrels and the
sweet twIttering OF birds. Dale caught
the Joyous spirit. He could have
fairly shouted out OF the fullness of
his very human heart. Here all was
unspolled and unprofaned, and some
thing whispered within him:
"They won't call you savage
here-make this your own country"
From somewhere on n nearby
mountalnside a rifles keen report split
the air; bullet whlned like mad
hornet; Dale's hat jumped little on
his head.
The awakening was exceedingly
rude Dale wheeled. his gray eyes
nblaZe. and saw only tiny cloud Of
smoke-mist rising from the lnurels
more than fifty feet away.
"Come out. you coward !" he roared.
"Come out and let me see you" curl
osity taking the place OF anger In his
voice. "I've always wanted to know
Just what real highwayman was
like"

time. -.
David, he was q strappin' big man,
like all o the Morelands. He was
about yore size. and grey-eyed like
you. and he had brown hair like You.
When you walked up to the gate, It
made me think o. him the day he was
married; he was all dressed up in
dark blue like you. :. Then David
he went up, here one summer and
found this, vein o. coal He got law

"One day got a letter from David,
which said that man named John X.
Carlyle was a-goin' to buy his noun
tain and the coal, and said that his
wife was pow'ful sick. week later
she died, and left baby which died,
too, accordin' to a old Injun by the
name o Cherokee Joe, who knowed
my pap and knowed David. And a
month later we was all dragged from
our beds by this same Cherokee Joe,
tellin' us that Carlyle had shot David.
Carlyle, Cherokee Joe said, was
a-drinkin' hard. The Injun seed the

land never goes to law about anything.
He pays his own debts, and he collects
what is his due"
John Moreland arose and paced the
porch floor, which creaked under his
weight. He stopped before Dale, and
went on sadly:
"Now yen know why was SO much
tore up when / heered yore name, the
Carlyle part. John X. Carlyle killed
the best man 'at ever lived. And meb-
be ye'll understand why we amt never

which cost Brother David his life."
Moreland's guest sat staring absent
ly toward a brown-winged butterfly
that was industriously slipping honey
from tine heart Of a honeysuckls
bloom. He gave nd6slgn that he had
heard anything.<sut' of the ordinary.
but in an odd1 persistent way his mind
seemed to t3paect his father, John X.
Dale, with-the story he had just heard.
John X. Dale had come originally
from West Virginia, and he had fatty
refused, time upon time, to make any
investigation of the Moreland coal
property.
The hillman interrupted young
Dale's thinking:
"Addie, she's a-goin' to have dinner
ready purity soon. Would ye like to
wash. Mr.. Dalef"
Yes" was the answer, and in the
tones Of Bill Dale's quiet voice there
was a shade of meaning that More
land did not catch. "Yes. I'd like to
wash"
