CHAPTER xl


1 ~ saSSN bNSSPS y 0SStS@s
When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the
others had been gone for half an hour,
Elizabeth LittlefOrd sat up in the ST.
lence. 1t was a great and heavy silence
that lowered there over the north end
Of David Moreland's mountain. There
was not even the drumming of vel
lowhammer, not even the saucy chat
tering of boomer squirrel, not even
the twittering of q bird. Not a leaf
stirred anywhere. Everything seemed
lifeless. 1t was almost as though she
were the sole inhabitant Of the world.
Then she thought. It was noontime,
and the officer and his prisoner would
doubtless halt at John Moreland's
cabin for the MONDAY meal; and If
she FASTENED she would get to see Bill
Dale again.
So she ran like a doe, through the
green woodland, through the tangle Of
laurel and ivy and over the moss
covered stones. across shoulder OF
David Moreland's mountain. She was
barefooted, and her dress was a sim
pie garment Of white-dotted blue
calico. and her long brown hair flowed
behind her like the hair Of a young
witch-because Of the excitement Of
the morning, she had forgotten to give
1t its usual daily plating.
AS she drew near to the MoreIand
leaders home, she saw Bill Dale and
the sheriff walk out at the gateway
and mount their horses. Major Brad
ley came out, and he, too, mounted his
horse; and she was glad that he was
going along There was great crowd
all the Littlefords were there, and all
the Morelands, and old Granny Heck,
the fortune-teller. On every face Babe
saw signs OF sympathy and sorrow.
Her eyes filed. She was so glad that
they, too, loved HIM. II was worth go-
ing to jailRto know that one was loved
like thatl Not that It didn't hurt to
see aim going to jail, Of course. JAN
and horror are words that mean the
same to the mountain dweller.
She went on to tell him good-by.
She knew II would be hard, but she
steeled herself; she would be a Little
ford. and strong. He saw her coming,
and he ttirned his bay horse and rode
to meet her She stopped and clasped
her hands, with her arms down full
length, and tried 20 smile at him.
sYou promised me he said gently,
''that you'd 20 hack to Patricia and

Dale had by this time worn the keen
edge from his grief by means of his
great will power. He bowed slightly
to the officer and replied with grave
courtesy:
Believe me, sir" with the very
faintest trace Of smile, II am very
much obliged to YOU"
Luke Moreland led up the sleek

lock and went toward the writhlne
Goliath, whose legs only were visible
now.
Then third shot rang out on the
morning stiffness. 1t had been fired
from point some little distance
away, and Dale's condition OF mind at
the moment was such that he didn't
even note the direction from which
the sound had come. He was unhurt,
and he had not heard the whine of a
bullet or the pattering of shot on the
leaves. When he looked about him,
he saw no one; neither did he see any
telltale smoke. Perhaps, he thought
iimly, it had been a squirrel-hunter
that had fred that shot. He forgot
about It very quickly for the time be-
ing, and went on toward Adam Ball,
who now was lying perfectly still.
There was bullet-hole through and
through the great, shaggy head. The
face behind the short, curly black
beard was Of the cOlorless hue of
sO0pstone. The giant hillman was
dead.
Bill Dale knelt there beside Black
Adam. Again he clutched at his throat
with his two shaking hands. and this
time he tore his blue flannel shirt. All
the agony and all the remorse in the
universe seemed to be gathering there
In his heart. Never before had he
seen death. Its grim presence terrified
him. That the deplorable thing had
been an accident, due to his faulty
craftsmanship, mattered little. He
had killed a man, and the bl0od-red
brand Of Cain was burning away on
his brow; he was a man in a hell of
his own making. And kneeling there
Bill Dale sobbed a great sob that
shook his broad shoulders as a violent
ague would have shaken them.
He tried to look at the blue-edged
hole in the shaggy head; at the cruel,
british face that was of the colorless
hue Of soapstone. Merciful tears
blinded him, and he couldn't see. 1t

CHAPTER x-contInued.

A little after work-time that day,
Bill Dale started alone on the way OF
the narrOw-gauge railroad for the sid
Ing. He wished to see for himself just
what the damage had been to the
trestle, and he hoped to meet Con, or
Ball, or Torrey, and learn some
thing that would be to his advantage
Before he had covered two miles, he
had seen two Of the enemy skulking
through the woods, and he recognized
them for Torreys from Jerusalem
Cove and Hatton's Hell; he knew it
by their very swarthy skim their high
cheekbones and their coarse black
hair, the outcroppings Of the Cherokee
Indian blood in them. They looked
cunning and wicked. Dale loosened
in its holster the big revolver that
Major Bradley had persuaded him to
carry for his own protection. John
Moreland had taught him how to use
firearms.
At q point near where, the little
stream that flowed past the Halfway
switch emptied into Doe river, where
Doe river turned almost squarely to
the left, Dale halted abruptly. He had
seen a man dart behind a scrubby oak
some thirty yards ahead Of him; quite
naturally, he concluded that the fell
low meant to waylay him, and he, too,
stepped behind tree, big hemlock.
A silent minute went by. Then Dale
put his hat out on one side Of the tree
and peeped from the other side; 1t
was an old trick that Grandpap More
land had told him about A rife
cracked promptly and sharply, and a
bullethole appeared In the rim Of his
hat!
Following it, there came the coarse,
bass voice Of Black Adam Ball, the
mountaineer Goliath:
'sYOu CANT fool me. / Jest shot to
put hole in yore new hat and to
show We at / amt no bad shot. You
cain't hit my haiti"
Dale's temper, the temper that had
always been SO hard to keep under
control, rose quickly. He tried to rea-
son with himself, and couldn't; his |
passion mastered him. he snatched
the big revolver from SITS holster and |
cooked 1t. With as steady, a hand as |
ever held a weapon trained, he began |
to take aim at Balls SLOUGH hat, the
half Of which was in plain view at one
side Of the scrubby oak.
u fooled You once, back there in
the middle Of the river" he cried hot
". land now I'm going to fool you
again I"
There was, In his voice that old, old /
primitive rage, which frightened him,
and puzzled him too. in his better mo
ntents.
He let down the bead until it was
barely visible In the notch, and eased
on the trigger. The revolver reared
and spat forth tiny tongue Of fame

Profound Understanding of

Minneapolis, (SpeciaD.-"The time

SO declared Senator Harding in
mastery address before the Minnesota
State Fair here, in which he revealed
a most profound understanding OF
| Agriculture, it's problems and its rela-
ton to the farmer and the consumer in
| the cities. This speech has been de-
| scribed as the greatest speech on agri-
| culture which has ever been made by
Presidential candidate.
| Among other things he said:
"a good many years ago Chinese
philosopher uttered a profound truth
| when he said: The well-being of a
| people is like tree; agriculture is its
root, manufacture and commerce are
| It's branches and its life; if the root
is injured the leaves fall, the branches
| break and the tree dies
Cause for Concern.
at may seem strange to many good
people that at this particular time any
one should quote this saying of wise
| old Chinese. Never in all our history
have prices of farm products ruled
| so high, measured in dollars, as during
the past four years. Farm land in the
great surplus-producing states has ad-
yanced to unheard of prices, with
every indication that, but for the tight
money conditions, it would go still
higher. Apparently the farmers of the
land are enjoying unprecedented pros
perity. Why then, even by implica-
ton, suggest that something may be
wrong with our agriculture, and that
the trouble may be communicated to
our rnanufa ctures and commerce? PEG
