out by way of the door beside the
huge stone-and-clay chimney.
The mountain air was braclng Dale
threw out his chest and started eager
ly for walk.
The road led past the cabin Of
Grandpap Morelnnd When Dale was
directly in front of the log house, he
saw the aged mountaineer standing on
u rickety sawhorse beside the stone
step at the narrow porch; Grandpap
Moreland was helping gray cat down
from the roof.
"NIornln'. was Jest a-takln' that

After brcnkfasting with John More
land, BIZ Dale borrowed fishing tackle
from his host, and set out alone for
the little river
There were many shoals and rapids
and ne went almost half a mile before
he found a place to his liking. 1t was

Dale was deeply impressed. He

told him to let her know-she would

enough cover for his bed. Then he
found himself alone with the stalwart

Ball dropped his rife to the

jaw out aggressively.

retorted. II won't run"

objected. But I'll meet ye half way,
and dare ye to take me up, ye lace

Halfway would be the middle Of the
river, and no place for fight, surely.
But Dale was nettled.. His temper,
the temper that he had never been
able to keep wholly under control was
rising fast. He threw of his coat and
hat and rolled the sleeves of his soft
shirt to his elbows. Then he waded
into the pool. The slowly moving
water was up to his waist at the half
way point, and the bottom was Of
hard-packed SAND.
The Goliath stared unbelievingly
He was not accustomed to having his
challenges thus accepted He threw
off his hat and went to meet the 1.-THE
young stranger.
Bill Dale squared himself and put
up his guard. Adam Ball came on,
and he was scowling wickedly.
Ball rushed, the clear water swirling
In his wake, and let out with power
full right. 1t was a blow to crush an
ordinary mans chest in; but, to Balls
surprise, 1t failed to land. Dale evaded
1t cleverly. and at the same time sent

wicked words and steudied himself;
he had caught tartar. A moment,
and he led out again, and he missed
again; but he followed 1t with blow
that made a red mark on Bill Dale's
shoulder
''How's that, We pink coward?" he
crowed.
"All right-how's this?"
And Dale sent on mighty blow
that rebounded duly from the giants
chest and elected only harsh laugh
Of contempt There was little to be
gained by striking man like Adam
Ball on the chest; Dale knew now
that he must reach more vulnerable
spot.
Then he tented with his left and
drove his right to Balls mouth, bring
ing blood. Ball roared in his blind
rage and dashed toward his antagonist,
resolved to get n cIinch. But Dale
eluded the terrible arms, although in
SO doing he received u blow on the
temple that made him dizzy for few
seconds
While Ball was again engaged in
trying to gain the advantage of
clinch, Granny Heck made her appear

promptly launched her sympathes in
a manner that pleased both her gaping
son and the watchful and silent John
Moreland.

she cried over and over. Hit him

The combat grew hotter and hotter.

been torn away to the belt, and their

Those on the two banks watched II
all with suppressed excitement. Babe

water, with her hands clasped below
her throat, her face was pale. John
Moreland. who had witnessed many
other great fights, himself a fighting
man. had never before beheld such a
contest Of strength and endurance w
this; Bill Dale had won John More
lands heart for ali time to come.

After q few minutes of silently
watching grotesque shadows dit across
the log walls, Dale said to Jehn More
land:
IF your brother David could know,
don't you think he'd want you to get
the value out of the coal?'
John Moreland bent forward to rest
his chin in his hands. His sober grey
eyes stared thoughtfully toward the
fire.
II amt never looked at 1t that

declared Dale. But you shouldn't

For a little while Moreland sat there
and looked squarely at Dale. who re
turned his gaze without sign Of
flinching The hillman was trying to
find a motive.
How, comes 1t at you, who amt
knowed us but two days." he de-
manded, "can be so much interested
in us?"
The question demanded straight
forward answer. Dale realized that
there was but one way in which he
could give a satisfactory explanation,
and that that was by telling the truth
but not the whole truth, as be
surmised it, for then his efforts would
go for naught.
Moreland was speaking again, and
his eyes were brighter now.
II agree at David would want us
to develop the coal. eff he could know.
It's like light a-breakin' to me. But
that coal Is sacred to us, Bill Dale,

Mrs. Moreland and her sons arose
and left the room, closing the door be-
hind them. Bill Dale paced the floor,
arms folded, brows drawn. Finally he
talted before the Moreland chief.

at Moreland, and went on:

CHAPTER II
In the CUP.


In the Cup.
Dale found the humble home Of his
mountaineer host home in the fullest
sense of the word.
At the monday meal, he met Mrs.
Moreland and the sons Of the house
hold and they were exactly as he had
pictured them. Mrs. Moreland was
quiet motherly. always smiling, as
straight and real as her husband. The
sons Caleb and Luke, were as much
alike as the fingers On your hands:
they were tall and broad-shouldered,
uey-eyed and brown-haired.
Before shutdown Dale had become
acquainted with the rest Of the More
lands and he liked them, every one
He was at the cabin Of his hosts gray

When supper was over John More

his mother came in.
Granny Heck had the sharp features

fort Jay. is actually dead, the Ameri-
can State Department to-day. at the
request of Gibboney's son, telegrsphed
TO Mexico for additional details Of the
reported drowning of Gibboney last De-
cember.
The mystery of Gibboney's reported
death by drowning was deepened to-day
by the receipt of an anonymous COM
munication by Chairman Kahn of the
House Committee on Military Affairs,
IN which the writer charged that the
man reported to be drowned in Cam
peche Bay was not the Philadelphia
lawyer.
The letter will be produced in evil
dence tomorrow when the sub-com-
mittee OF the House Military Affairs
Committee hears the evidence of
Charles d. McAver, United States At
torney in Philadelphia, who investi-
gated the escape of Bergdoll from his
two army guards who were to accom-
pany him on his pot of gold" pilgrim
age into the hills Of Maryland.
The State Department early last
month received information from the
American Consul at Progreso, mexico
that Gibboney, Frank W. Shriver, John
o. Markley and Lawrence Markley Left
Champoton Campeche, December 2S, in
small sailboat, and were overtaken by
craft. The bodies of the four men
were found on the shore of Campeche
Bay at a point near Champoton, and
were buried at Champoton.
The department had previously ad
vised Gibboney's son that the state au.
thorities at Campeche had authorized
the immediate disinterment of tht
bodies of Gibboney and his companions
if the sanitary regulations there were
adhered to.
1t was understood by the State De
partment that relatives of Gibbonel
will go to Champoton to endeavor tc
establish definitely whether one of the
buried men is the Philadelphia attor-
ney.
Secretary of War Baker to-day said
! that he had not yet received any report
from Major General Allen, command
ing the American forces on the Rhine
! on the recent attempt to capture Berg
! doll at Eberbach. He added that the
/ War Department would cooperate il
/ every way possible with the Kahn com
mittee Of the House in the Bergdol
/ inquiry.

Insurance men here.
The question of whether Gibboney
vas drowned in Mexican waters De-
.smber 2S or is in hiding and the re
mort of his death is fictitious has been
rsised by Julius Kahn, chairman of
The House Military Affairs Committee,
At Washington, and insurance COM
vsnies, with one exception, have taken
she stand that Gibboney's death has
adding payment of the policies.
The body buried as Gibboney's in
the little cemetery at Champotan, Mex
leo, will be exhumed in an effort to
establish the identity beyond a doubt.
Surrendered s14s,oO0 in Policies
Investigation to-day disclosed the
fact that at one time Gibboney had
carried S250000 life insurance. He
bsd surrendered ali but 100000 of
this, receiving, of course, compensa-
ton for the amounts surrendered.
Insurance men say that most of the
sum remaining had been put up for
debts or 10 cover notes. 1t is said
that less than year ago Gibboney
took out policy for $25 900 with the
Massachusetts, Mutual Life Insurance
Company, and shortly afterward as
Judgment note. 1t is said by insur-
that fha
fused to issue him a second policy
for S25 900
Representatives OF the insurance
companies said they are ready to pay
the policies at any time and are, in
fact, anxious to get the business
finished, but must wait until proofs
sre submitted which satisfy them that
the pohcyholder really is dead.
The insurance companies have photo
static copies of letter which Mr..
Gitboney wrote Christmas Day to his
family from shipboard on q Ward Line
steamship. In the letter he said that
his party hoped to push on to the lum-
be. camps without delay and be on
their way back to Philadelphia by
January 8.
Son Repudiates Theory
D. Clarence Gibboney jr., son of the
attorney was in his fathers Office to-
day and repudiated the idea that the
elder Gibboney was still alive and in
hiding. He announced the plan to
bring the body home,

Department said young Mr.. Gibboney,
