Meanwhile Brimstead and Harry
had stood for moment in the door
yard Of the former, watching the par
sty on its way up the road. Brimstead
blew out his breath and said In low
tone:
"Say, I'll tell 70, amt bad so much
excitement since Samson Traylor rode
into Flea valley. The women need
chance to wash their faces and slick
up little. Les you and me go back
to the creek and go in swimmin' an

"She went out in the field In a sun

they sat down at the table Harry
asked: what have you done with

"She's been upstairs, getting washed
and dressed" said Mrs. Brimstead.
As she spoke, the stairway door
opened and BIN entered the room-in

no difference. Quickly they fell into

as It has always been. I really meant

all over now. Forgive US. We are
going TO be as respectable as-as we

Samson pressed her hand and said:

"Yes, I came with the slaves, and
was as black as either of them. We
