CHAPTER X

The Barbarian Princess Goes Home.
Miss Elizabeth Littleford beheld an
interesting sight when she alighted
from northbound afternoon train at
the Halfway switch. Just below the
long siding shorter siding had been
put in--the railway company had been
FASTENED, no doubt. by the great In
fiuence Of old Newton Wheatley--and
from 1t had been unloaded small
geared locomotive, a dozen or so Of
little coal cars opening at the bottom.
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 as Gre
lands and Littlefords, and she knew
1t meant peace They didn't recognize
her, because of the distance and the
clothing she wore, and because they
were too busy to pay any particular
attention to her.
Farther out toward Doe river an
other crew of men was at work clear
ing the way for the little narrow
gauge. She heard the sounds of the
ak and the saw, the hammer and the
steel, and once there came to her ears
the great dull roar Of exploding dyna-
mite as cliff was blown clear Of its
foundations.
Miss Elizabeth Littleford smiled
happily. And she hid 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 moments notice
as had Bill Dale before her, and how
good 1t seemed to be at home! She
would have gone to see the men, had
T. not been that she feared she would
be a bother.
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 dow, there was but
mere speck. Il. Before she went on.
she removed her shoes and stockings.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1921-08-18
CHAPTER Ixcontinued.

Came a silence that was heavy.
Each was depending upon the other to
make the advance. The two clansmen
stared at each other more and more
sharply, and soon shadows Of bitter
ness began to creep into their eyes.
Then Major Bradley, guest Of Ben
Littleford, strobe into the room with
a patrician and soldierly air, and he
understood the situation perfectly.
Gentlemen" he urged, "shake
hands. Be friends"
They didn't. Neither seemed to
have heard the major. 1t angered Bill
Dale. His knowledge of these feud-
lists, these grown-up children, was not
yet very thorough. He went to his
feet. John Moreland. too. arose.
WED as well go, hadn't we" Dale
clipped, and there was disgust in his
voice.
Il reckon we had" agreed More
land.
They walked out of the cabin, leav-
ing Major Bradley and Ben Littleford
gazing silently after them. At the
gate Dale caught John Moreland's
sleeve and halted him.
"Why on EARTH" he demanded,
"didn't you make the breakT'
''Blll Dale. went into his house I"
Dale put his hands on one Of the
weatherbeaten gateposts and looked
over to where a bright star burned
like beacon light above the pine
fringed crest Of David Moreland's
mountain. He continued to look at
the star, his face gray, until it glim-
mered.
Then he began to blame himself !;
he was the hope of benighted peo-
pie, and he had foolishly lost his tenn
per at crucial moment He wondered
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 SO
very still; he was reading from the
Gospel according to Saint Mark,
preparatory to his bedtime prayer.
The two at the gate listened intently.
The way in which the illiterate giant
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 shutting Of feet
as half dozen persons knelt at their
chairs. The prayer which followed
was much like John Moreland's own
bedtime prayer; 1t had In 1t less of
supplication than Of thanksgiving.
And in the tail of 1t there were
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1921-08-18

words that were like bullets to the
mountaineer at the gate
BLESS the good man who is with
us here tonight and all O. our kin
folks. and all O our friends, and all
o. our inemies--and specially the
Morelands. Aymenl"
Dale's hand came down hard on
John Moreland's shoulder.
you told me he wouldn't do I'll
The old clan leader hung his head,
like man suddenly broken. He re-
piled not word; he seemed amazed
into speechlessness. He had been
wrong In his estimate Of Ben Little
ford; he had lied about man who
had just asked the good Almighty to
bless him. John Moreland choked a
little and started toward the cabin.
He walked as though half blind across
the porch, and entered without knock
Ing, and went In to Ben Littleford with
his right hand outstretched.
LES begin anew" he said huskily.
Les be friends, yore people and my
people. you and me-"
Littleford arose and CROPPED for his
old-time enemy's hand, found It and
grasped 1t In both his own.
You're better an am, John More
land" he said--"you're q id sight
better AN am"
When Dale left them, they were
talking over a great bear-hunt that
they had taken together score Of
years before.
The moon, full and as bright as new
gold, had risen just under the beacon
star when Bill Dale reached the door
step Of the cabin that was home to
him. He faced about. The broad
green valley lay very serene and very
beautiful there In the mellow light.
There was no sound save for the gen.
tie murmuring Of the crystal river.
You wonderful place." he said soft

When she had req he'd the loot of
the mountain, she didn't take the by
path her people had been wont to use
in order that they might avoid con-
tact with the Morelands. There was
no need OF avoiding contact with the
Morelands now. thank goodness
Then voice hailed her from the
laurels out at her right, the voice she
loved better than any other
"Hello, Miss Littleford"
Babe stopped and faced him. and
she blushed furiously when she saw
him. He was coming rapidly toward
her with his hat In his hand, and his
brown hair was rumpled and damp
with Precipitation. She saw that he
was in boots and corduroys, the cloth.
Ing Of timber-jack, and he looked
bigger in them; about his waist there
was cartridge-belt. from which hung
big and dependable looking revolver

He shook her hand. then he dropped
to moss-covered log that lay beside
the narrow trail.
"Sit down here beside me-" he said
and he added: tive been going hard

She let fall her bundle and her

SNAGS IN LIFE'S CURRENT

to Avoid. ~. Il.

A young woman in rage with her
,fiance for some apparently inexcusable
oversight, exclaimed: II never can for
give him-never Her grandmother,
sitting near, looked up from her knit
ting. II felt the same way one day
nearly 50 years ago." she said quietly.
."roday I cannot recall what it was

life that resulted is still in my mind.
Don't get hung up on snag in the
stream, my dear. Snags alone are not
so dangerUls-it's the debris that
clings to them that makes the trouble.
Pull yourself loose and 60 on" !.
In our Judgment we must first get
rid Of the eternal self; we must learn
to look at the fault,wholly in its rela-
ton to the person to whom 1t belongs,
not in it's relation to ourselves. None
Of us IS created perfect, and few-if
any-attain perfection. The most We
can attain is perfect understanding
of this fact, and self-control that will
enable us to pull loose from the snag
and 60 on with the main stream Of the
life which in other respects is in har-
mony with ours; not stay hung up, en-
phasizing the snag and giving it more
weight than the stream itself. To be
able to ignore is often the most saw
