The Barbarian Princes Goes Hems.
Miss Elizabeth Littleford beheld an
interesting sight when she alighted
from a northbound afternoon train at
the Halfway switch. Just below the
long siding a shorter siding had been
put in--the railway company had been

and miles Of light steel rails with kegs
Of spikes for them.
Out toward her home Q crew Of men
worked like bees at the building of a
trestle Of round timbers that had been
cut from the nearby woods; she at
once recognized these men 40 More

1t meant peacel They didn't recognize
her, because Of the distance and the
clothing she wore. and because they
were too busy to pay any particular

Farther out toward Doe river an
other crew Of men was at work clear

az and the saw, the hammer and the
steel, and once there came to her ears
the great dull roar Of exploding dyna-
mite as a clift was blown clear Of its
foundations
Miss Elizabeth Littleford smiled
happily. And she had not been happy
for long time. Patricia McLaurin,
with whom she ha dbeen staying, had
been kindness itself, but the mother
Of Bill Dale, her Bill Dale, had
snubbed her-and besides the longing
for the old home hills was riotous In
her blood. So she had come back, run
away at less than q moments notice
as had Bill Dale before her, and how
good 1t seemed to be at hOmei She
would have gone to SEQ the men, had

There was another interesting sight
when she had reached the crest Of
David Moreland's mountain. In the
upper end Of the broad valley, mid
way between the settlement" and the
opening Of the Moreland coal. vein, two
large buildings were well along In
their course Of construction.
She put down her bundle Of cloth
ing, shaded her eyes with her hand,
and tried to find Bill Dale among the
builders. But the distance was too
great; a man down there was but a
mere speck. .. Before she went on,
she removed her shoes and stockings

They walked out of the cabin, leav-

gazing silently after them. At the
gate Dale caught John Moreland's
sleeve and halted him.
"Why On earth," he demanded.

"Bin Dale, ! went into his house I"
Dale put his hands on one OF the
weatherbeaten gateposts and looked
over to where q bright star burned
like q beacon light above the pine
fringed crest Of David Moreland's
mountain. He continued to look at
the star, his face gray, until 1t glim-
mered.
Then he began to blame himself;
he was the hope Of q benighted peo-
pie, and he had foolishly lost his tenn

whether 1t was yet too late, and
turned his eyes toward his silent COM
panion. He saw that John Moreland
was looking toward the beacon star
The voice Of Ben Littleford came to
them plainly because the night was 20
very still; he was reading from the
Gospel according to Saint Mark,
preparatory to his bedtime prayer.
The two at the gate listened intently.

stumbled over the simplest words was
pitiful. =.
The hillman closed the Good Book
and placed 1t on the table beside him.
There was the low shufflIng Of feet
as half dozen persons knelt at their
chair The prayer which followed
was much like John Moreland's own
bedtime prayer; 1t had In It less of
duplication than Of thanksgiving.
And In the tail Of 1t there were
words that were like bullets to the
mountaineer at the gate

Piled not a word; he seemed amazed
into speechlessness. He had been
wrong in his estimate Of Ben Little

had just asked the good Almighty to
bless him. John Moreland choked q
little and started toward the cabin.
