Babe stared az him a trifle cOldly.
She had not yet seen the two men who
stood In the doorway. Then she in
terrupted her father:
"You hush, pap, and 90 away. I'd
told We a HUNDRED times about 1ghtin'
a-bein' murder, and specially TO us
wimmenfOlks, and you never would
pay any 'tentiOn TO me. You hush,

die In peace. The Lord knows l never

There was a worried look In her
wonderful brown eyes, and the doctor
saw IL. He STROBE forward decisively
and helped Littleford to his feet. The
hillman wiped away tear with his
faded blue bandana, and hung his
head. He had been made a broken
man in one day.
Go out to your friend Moreland,"
smiled the doctor, land wait there for
a little while"
Babes father walked unsteadily out
of the room. Dale went to Doctor
Braemer and whispered, Isn't she go
ing to make it," anxiously.
Certainly she's going to make it.,
Braemer assured him. Go on; she
wants to see you"
Dale drew q chair up close to the
white bed and sat down. Babes eyes
lighted at once, and she put hand
uncertainty out toward him. Dale took
the hand In his. He saw that 1T was
a little pale under it's delicate sunburn.
"Glad to see you, Babe" he told her
softly. "Why do you think you're go
ing to die, BabeT
She smiled at him. why, l don't

CHAPTER vl-Continued.

"You needn't" broke in the embit-
tered Bill Dale. II can get the neces-
sary funds without difficulty. I'll pay
the debt myself. You've had great
many years in which to try to make
amends, and you haven't done any
thing. You might have helped the
Morelands without their even knowing
that it was you-especially as they
seem to have known you by another
name-and that's the only way you
could have helped them. Here you
have one reason why l cannot accept
assistance from you; don't you see, ta-
Their? The Morelands wouldn't nave

He motioned to McLaurtn, VINO nau

turned and walked away. McLaurin
followed, and soon overlook him.
Bill Dale stopped suddenly ana
faced back to his father.
"Remember that Bobby gets his
house and lot !"
yes" replied John x. Dale, Bobby
gets his house and lot"
He went sadly toward the mansion
that seemed to him now good deal
like a tomb. Young Dale touched his
friend on the arm.
"Tell me, what did mother say? l
know it's going to hurt, but-tell IT..
"She was sitting beside an open win
dow in the library" said McLaurin.

and asked If she would like to see you.
At first was afraid she hadn't heard
me. Then she opened book that she
was reading, found her place and
marked it with a finger, and looked at
me.
"'Who did you say was at the gate,
Mr.. McLaurinT she asked.
"'Your son Carlyle l answered.
"'Mr. McLaurin,' she said to me
coldly, L want you never to forget this:

earth as Carlyle Dale"

Bill Dale was sure now that he
loved Babe, and he was almost sure
that she cared for him. But he was
quite properly In no haste 10 come TO
an understanding. He had known all
along that Babe would have 10 be
educated! and a woman's tastes, he
reasoned, might change with educa-
ton. And he wanted her to have the
opportunity of knowing other men Of
his class. II she couldn't love him
with a lasting love, he didn't want
her to love him at all.
Oddly or not, he never thought OF

When John Moreland and Ben Lit.
tleford had finished their breakfast
there In the dining room of the Blais-
dell, they drank the water from their
fingerbowls, threatened with sudden
death the waiter who snickered, and
found the way to the lobby.
TO Littleford the minutes dragged
soddenly. Finally he told Moreland,
I'm a sentence filled with double mega
tives that he could bear the suspense
no longer, and proposed that they set
out at once for Doctor Braemer's hos
pItal. The hotel manager overheard
some of the one-sided conversation Z;
he phoned the surgeon and learned
that the young woman was resting
easily, which information he passed
on TO the mountain men.
Ben Littleford was quiet for five
minutes, more or less. Then he again
proposed TO John Moreland that they
go to the hospital TO see Babe. More
