Dale understood perfectly.
Then he took his arm away. faced to
the right, and drew his hat rim low
ever 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
lind it. His mind had gone back once
more to that wocful night that had cut
his life in twain. He remembered
plainly waking III the early morning
with an aching head and with the
ranking taste Of much dead whisky
in his mouth. Remembered seeing Da-
vid MOreland, with q bullet hole
through and through him, lying on the
floor beside him. Remembered his
horror. his Smothered cries of anguish,
and his hurried fight. :.
He had wondered, he remembered,
why the law made no attempt to track
him down. He had not known that the
mountaineer's code Of honor demands
that tile mountaineer himself collect
that which is due him.

David M0reland buried?
He had turned, and stood facing her.
She pointed to the southwark.
They buried him out the crest o.
the mountain little ways, on the
highest place, by the side of his
wife. That was always a tOuchin
thing 10 me, that he buried his wife on
the very highest point of his own
mountain. You know why, don't you?

saw John Moreland, his bearded
mouth jerking, give the answering
squeeze that meant something very
akin to forgiveness.
She ran out at the gate, ran up to
the giant hillman and put her arms
around his neck she drew his great
brown head down and kissed him on
the cheek. And John Moreland let
his rifle fall unnoticed to the snow,
put his arms around her shoulders az
bowed his head and sobbed out q
few words she did not understand.
Night had fallen when they reached
Ben Littleford's cabin home. The girl
was welcomed with much joy; old
Dale was received with almost affec-
tionate cordially. roaring fire was
soon going in the best room, and old
Dale was given the cosiest OF the
sheepskin-lined rockers. Ben Little
ford, washed scrupulously clean of
coal smut, sat near the guest of honor.
John Moreland, who was so thought
full that he seemed to hear and see
nothing, sat close to Ben Littieford.
Suddenly Dale looked toward his
host and asked: "Where is my son.?
At that moment Dale the younger,
In boots and c0rduroys, appeared in
the outer doorway and answered for
himself:
"Here he Is, father. Are You wellT'

hands clasped warmly. Young Dale

faced him.

The big mountaineer's eyes We're
wide with Amusement, for Elizabeth
Littleford's every word had borne the
ring of truth. He was too daZed TO
understand her allusiOn TO Bill Dale
as his old enemy's son. The rifle came
back from across the palings, and its
steel-shod butt found a place in the
snow beside John Moreland's foot.
Slowly John X. Dale arose and
drew close to him, and then from
John K Dales soul came pouring the
pent-up anguish Of remorse that had
scared 1t through the years. The tor
rent of words flowed on, while the
mountaineer stood rigidly regarding
him with a strange light in his pierre
ing eyes.
II can't ask you to forgive me-"
Dale finished brokenly. II don't ex-
pect forgiveness; my crime was too
great. But can't you, for the sake Of
the boy, let me keep on trying to
atone for my SIM"
John Moreland looked long and
searchingly into the face of the plead
ing man before him. The bitter
struggle that was going on within him
was mirr0red on his rugged coun-
tenance. But gradually the bitterness
faded; his huge frame trembled; he
put a hand slowly down on the others

swung the gate stiffly open on its wood

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,

the head Of one mound great, rough

marked The last resting place of David
Morelands 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 chiseted other
ill-shaped letters and misspelled
words. The hands Of john Moreland
had done this. Old John Dale stepped
unsteadily closer and read:

from the tomb and uttered it, it would
not have struck John X. Dale with

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 slight sound, the muf-
fled breaking Of dry twlg 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 filed with the fire of

Look up. Face it. Try to be man TO-

Old Dale raised his head. saw David
Moreland's brother, and realized all
there was TO realize. His eyes widened
a little; then a l0sk Of relief fitted
across his heavy countenance.

said bravely, and his head was high.

Moreland WINGED perceptibly. The
big, crooked finger came way from the
hair-fne trigger. He had never expect
ed to hear the man whom he knew as
John X. Carlyle say that which he had
just said. 1t had never entered his
mind that John X. Carlyle could be
sorry.
Then the great and bitter desire for
revenge rushed into his brain again,
and his head went down, and his keen
right eye looked along the sights and
to the kneeling mans breast. His trig-

Until this instant Elizabeth Little
