hills And 1t was true that he began
to have secret regrets that he had
come. But Ii wasn't that he was dis
appointed in the land that was open
ing up before him. 1t fulfilled every
promise. His sole reason for regrets
lay In the fact that now the whole
mountain world would know of the
decay that had come upon his people.
Perhaps II would have been better to
have left them TO their traditions.
He had never dreamed that the
fame of his grandfather had spread
so far. For the first ten miles Dan
listened to stories-legends of cold
nerve that simply could not he shaken:
of a powerful. tireless physique; of
moral aud physical strength that was
seemingly without limit. Then. as
the foothills hogan to give way to- the
higher ridges, and the shadow of the
deeper forests fell upon the narrow,
brown road, there began to be long
gaps In the talk. And soon they rode
In utter silence. evidently both Of
them absorbed in their own thoughts
Dan did not feel oppressed at all.
He merely seemed TO fall into the
spirit OF the woods, and no words
came to his lips. Every mile was an
added delight to him. Not even wine
could have brought a brighter sparkle
to his eyes. He had begun TO expert
ence a vague sort of excitement, an
emotion that was almost kin to ex-
uItation, over the constant stir and
movement Of the forest life. Once, as
they stopped the car to refill the ra-
diator from mountain stream, Len
nox looked at him with sudden curl
osity. "You are getting a thrill out

ingly.

mark of the disease on his face. As
he shook hands, he tried his best TO
read the mountaineer's expression II
was all too plain: an undeniable look
of disappointment.
The truth was that even In spite of
all tile Chamber of Commerce head had
told him. Lennox had still hoped to
find some image Of the elder Dan
Failing in the face and body of his
grandson. Because Of the thick
glasses, LennoX could not see the
young mans eyes; but he didn't think
II likely they were at all like the eyes
with which the elder Failing saw his
way through the wilderness at night
OF course he was tall just as the ia
nous frOntiersman had been. but
while the elder weighed one hundred
and ninety pounds, bone and muscle,
this man did not touch one hundred
and thirty. Evidently the years had
brought degeneracy to the Failing clan.
LennoX was desolated by the thought,
lie helped Dan with his bag to a lit
tie wiry automobile that waited be-
side the station. They got into the
two front seats, and a moment later
were starting up the long, curved
road that led to the Divide.
During the hour that they were
crossing over the foothills, on the way
TO the big timber, Silas LennOX talked
a great deal about the frontierSman
that had been Dams grandfather. A
mountain man does not use prOfuse
adjectives. He talks very simply and
very straight, and often there are long
silences between his sentences. Yet
he conveys his ideas with entire clear
ness.
Dan realized at once that IL he
could he, In Lennoxs eyes, One-fifth
of the man his grandfather had been,
he would never have TO fear again the
look of disappointment with which his
host had greeted him at the station.
But instead of reaching that high
place, he had only-death. He knew
what his destiny was in these quiet

But as he got back into the car the
look of interest died out of Lenn0X's
eyes. OF course any man would be
somewhat excited by his first glimpse
of the wilderness. 1t was not that he
had inherited any Of the traits of his
