The others laughed. Then John
Moreland said they'd better be mov-
ing, or they'd be late for dinner.
When they had put a hundred yards
of David MOreland's mountain behind
them, the old Southerner tugged slyIy
at Dale's sleeve and whispered:
LET us fall behind a little, if you
please. want to speak with you
privately"
They began to lag, and soon there
was a distance of several rods be-
tween them and the others.
II heard through Addie Moreland,"
began Bradley his friendly hand on
the younger mans arm, "about you
and what you're planning to do for
the Morelands. l tell you, sir, l
thanked heaven for your coming, and
you may count on me to help in any
way l can. The Morelands are quite
friendly to me now, though up to the
middle of last summer they didn't like
me any too we'll because l made Ben
Littleford's cabin my home when out
here.
1T was a simple thing that brought
US together. John Moreland'S little
nephew was lost in the woods and his
mother was frantic. There are pan
theirs, you know, and wildcats, rattlers,
and cOpperheads. I was fortunate
enough to find the boy, and carried
oil
fine people, my boy, and so are the
LittlefOrds. Good old English blood
that somehow wandered off. There's
no purer, cleaner blood in America,
sir.
"And now-how are you getting
along with your plans for the opera
tion of the coal mine"
"Excellently," answered Dale. I'VE
have the necessary finance; geared
locomotive and cars and light steel
rails have been bargained for"
"Good!" Bradley gave Dale hearty
slap on the shoulder.
There's something else wanted to
say, Mr.. Dale" he continued, his
voice grave. You're nearly certain
to have a barrel Of trouble with a
shyster coal man named Henderson
Golf. He's villain, sir, if ever there
was one! And he's quite the smooth
est article I've ever seen. He can
make you believe black is white, If
only you'll listen to him long enough"
"Is he-has he been here recently"
Dale wanted to know.
Hes here now," answered the ma
jor. Hes been here for three days,
and he's been working devilment fast.
He was up here last summer, trying
to buy the Moreland coal for a song;
he knows all the people, you see. AS
soon as he landed here on this pres
ent trip, he found out about your In
tentions. Then, at night, he freed
Adam Ball from his tobacco barn pris-
on, and went home with him.

lands and everybody else-now, get
that"
The corners Of the shyster coal mans
mouth came down.
! "Oh, bosh-don't pass me that vir-
tue stuff. Every man has his price,
high or low. You've got yours, and
| I've got mine. I'll give you five thou
sand, spot cash, If you'll persuade
John Moreland to sell to me for five
thousand, and nobody1l ever know
you got rakedown from me. It's all
the coal is worth, that ten thousand.
Well, yes2"
Dale was of the type that goes pale
with anger, and he was pale now. He
clenched his hands.
"You can't insult me like that and
get away with it, Goff," he clipped
"We're going to fight, Goff, and I'm
going to put a licking on you that
fifteen horses can't pull off. Get me?"
He threw aside his coat and rolled
his sleeves to his elbows. Henderson
Golf ran his right hand quickly to a
rear trouser pocket and brought back
a stub-nOsed automatic pistol, which
he turned threateningly toward Bill
Dale.
"Go easy, friend" Goff said very
complacently. There's no use in
getting sore. want the coal. that's
ALL If 1 can't get it by fair means,
I'll get it in another way. Oh, / don't
mind telling you; one mans oath is as
good in court as another mans. If
you don't take me up at ten thousand,
I'll give you so much trouble that
you'll be glad to sell 1t to me later
for half that amount. The Balls think
they own big interest in that coal
There's lot of them, too, and they
can keep you from working the mine
Well, l can't waste time in dickering
with you. What do you say?"
Il say" and Dale smiled an odd lit.
tie smile, that your plan appears to
be perfect, except that you've over
looked one or two important details
For instance, there's the law, y'know."
THE law-nOw don't go and fool
yourselfP' exclaimed Golf. 1.-THE state
couldn't afford to keep a hundred men
here, month in and month out, just to
protect your little mine. My patience
is about gone, Dale-for the last time,
what do you say?"
Il say that I'll beat you at any
game you put up against me-" very
quietly. Furthermore, 1 say that you
are coward and a scoundreI, and
that you haven't got the insides in you
to fight me fair mans fight. If you'll
only pocket that thing you've got in
your hand, I'll NOW down half an acre
of meadow bush with your body"
The other turned red, then white
then red again. Bill Dales words had
lashed him keenly. His eyes became
like hard black beads, and he began

to raise the wicked-looking pistol as
though he meant to fire.
Then there was the sound of q
breaking twig behind him, and voice
drawled out:
"Drap 1t, Mlster-drap the funny
little gun, or the middle O. Tarment
is yore potion right nowl"
1t was the mOonShiner, By Heck,
and his rifle was leveled. Golf dropped
the pistol. Heck grinned, advanced
slowly, took up the weapon that the
hillfolk call a towards gun" and
tossed it into the river.

"afore let Bill Dale loose on vel"
Golf went away rapidly.
Il wonder if you heard him say
anything that would make you valu-

"in the event We want to have him ar
