"The' might be-" she said, thought

"Where?"
AT pap's, or grandpap's, or with
most any O. my people; or" she added
with contemptuous twist to her lips,
"you might stay with some O. them
low-down Morelands."
"Where do your people live"
"Ahout six mile back that way"
She pointed over her shoulder with
forefinger.
"Would you mind showing me the
way to your parental domicile?"
"What's that, fo' goodness sake?"
"Your home, you know" Dale ex-
planned with a smile.
"Oh, my home. Why didn't ye say

Dale faced to the right and saw,
coming toward him with steps that
would have measured almost four
feet, the tallest and lankiest individ-
ual he had ever seen outside a circus.
The newcomer had smoothly shaven
chin, his coal-black hair was long and
his long mustache completely hid the
narrow slit that was his mouth. In
one hand he carried a repeating rife.

"Thats BY Heck" answered the

His names Sam Heck; but pap, he
called him BY Heck one day, and the
nickname stuck to him like molasses.
Everybody calls him that now, even
the revenuers. Bly, he's the biggest

They were standing on the crest OF
David Moreland's mountain. Below
them lay a broad valley checkered
with small farms; and each farm had
its log cabin, its log barn and its apple
orchard. Beyond 1t all rose the great
and majestic Big Pine, which was
higher and more rugged with cliffs
than David Moreland's mountain.

hard to tell, even after this long
time -.
David, he was a 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

dark blue like you. :. Then David

which said that a man named John K.
Carlyle was a-goin' to buy his noun
tain and the coal, and said that his
wife was pow'ful sick. A week later
she died, and left a baby which died,
too, accordin' to old Injun by the
name O. Cherokee Joe, who knowed
my pap and knowed David. And
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
shootin' through a window.
"It was might nigh to three days
later when we got here and found
pore David a-layin' whar he'd fell.
We secured the mountains TO miles
and miles around in a s'arch fo' the
dawg who killed him, but we never
found him. :. The land up here
looked purity, and it belonged to us
by David's death; so we all moved up
here to live, and built us cabins.
Major Bradley found out about the
end O. my brother, and he wanted us
to put the case in the hands O. the
law. But we wouldn't do it. A More
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 yell know why was so much
tore up Mhen / heered yore name, the
Carlyle part. John X. Carlyle killed
the best man at ever lived. And meb-
be yen understand why we amt never
had the conscience to sell the coal,

Morelands guest sat staring absent
ly toward brown-winged butterfly
that was industriou3ly slipping honey
from the heart Of a honeysuckle
bloom. He gave no sign that he had
heard anything out of the ordinary,
but in an odd, persistent way his mind
seemed to connect 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.. DaleT
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
