it stirred him more than all of Linda's
words. In an instant all the tragedy
of his babyhood was recalled-the
hushed talk between his parents, the
oaths, the flames in their eyes, and
finally the body he had found lying
so still beneath the pines. 1t was
always the Turner'S, the dread name
horror. He hadn't understood then.
1t had been blind hatred-hatred with
out understanding or self-analysis.
AS she watched his mountain blood
mounted to the ascendency. A strange
transformation came over him. The
gentleness that he had acquired in his
years of city life began to fall away
rom him. The mountains were claim
u him again.
His voice was cold and hard when
he spoke
'"Then you and l are no relation
whatever"
None"
"But we fight the same fight now"
Yes. Until we both win-or both
die"
Before he could speak again,
strange answer came out of the dark
ness. mot two Of you," croaking
old voice told him. 1t rose, shrill and
cracked, from the shadows beyond
the fire. They turned, and the moon
light showed a bent old figure hob
bling toward them.
1t was old Elmira, her cane tapping
along in front of her; and something
that caught the moonlight lay in the
hollow of her left arm. Her eyes still
glowed under the grizzled brows.
"Not two, but three" she corrected,
In the hollow voice Of uncounted
years. In the magic Of the moonlight
1t seemed quite fitting to both of them
that she should have come. She was
one of the triumvirate; they wondered
why they had not missed her before.
1t was farther than she had walked
in years, but her spirit had kept her
up.
She put the glittering object that
she carried into Bruce's hands. 1t
was rifle-a repeating breech-loader
of a famous make and a model of
thirty years before. 1t was such a
rifle as lives in legend, with sights as
fine as razor edge and an accuracy
as great as light itself. Loving hands
had polished 1t and kept it In perfect
condition
Matthew Folgers rifle" the old
woman explained, "for Matthew Fol
gers son."
And that Is how Bruce Folger re-
turned to the land of his birth-as
most men do, unless death cheats
them frst-and how he made pact
to pay old debts Of death.

tablish their claim to the land forever.
Sup to a few weeks ago it seemed
to me that sooner or later | would win

meant / thought that some time l
could drive them out and make them
pay. a little, for all they have done.
But they've tricked me, after all. |
thought that would get word to Fol
gers son, who by inheritance would
have a clear title to the land, and he,
these usurpers out But just recently
I've found out that even this chance
is all but gone.
"Within a few more weeks they
will have been in possession of the
land for a full twenty years. Through
some legal twist l don't understand,
if man pays taxes and has undis
puted possession of land for that
length of time, his title is secure
They failed to win me over. but it
looks as if they had won, anyway
The only way that they can be defeat
ed now is for that secret agreement
hetween my father and Folger--to re
appear. And I've long ago given up
all hope Of that.
'There is no court session between
now and October thirtieth-when
their twenty years of undisputed pos
session is eliminated. There seems
to be no chance to contest them-to
make them bring that forged deed into
the light before that time We've lost,
after all. And only one thing re-
mains"
He looked up to find her eyes full
upon him. He had never seen such
eyes They seemed to have sunk so
deep into the flesh about them that
only lurid slits remained. It was not that
her lids were partly down. Rather
1t was because the f1esh-sacks beneath
them had become charged with her
pounding blood. The fires glow was
In them and cast q strange glamOr
upon her face. 1t only added to the
strangeness Of the picture that she
sat almost limp, rather than leaning
forward in appeal. Bruce looked at
her in growing awe.
But as the seconds passed he seemed
no longer able to see her plainly. His
eyes were misted and blurred, but
they were empty Of tears as Linda's
own. Rather the focal point Of his
brain had become scared by mount
ing flame within himself The glow
of the fire had seemingly spread until
1t encompassed the whole wilderness
world.
What is the one thing that re-
mains?" he asked her, whispering.
She answered with a strange, ter
rible coldness of tone. 1.-THE blood
atonement," she said between back
drawn lips.
