CHAPTER XIX.
A Perfect Cross.


 On the floor of the richly-furnished library of the Dale home, near west window, Miss Elizabeth Llttletord sat reading by the fast fading light of an early March afternoon. Somehow she liked to sit on the floor, and always she liked to read; for one thing books helped her to forget that she was lonely.
 There were footsteps behind her soft footsteps because of the thick vel vet carpet; then low voice inquired:
 "AreA't you afraid you will iniure your eyes, Elizabeth? Better have a light, hadn't you, dear:" The old coal king turned toward the switch on the wall
 No" she answered quickly. I'm through reading for today, and like this twilight"
 Her improvement in speech and in manners had gone on at a surprisingly rapid rate. She rarely spoke win any but the simplest words but she never fell into anything more than bara sem blance of the old drawing hill dialect unless it was while she was under the stress of some strong emotion.
 She closed the book and looked up with eyes that were like the first stars in a summer sky, Her beauty was wonderful il was finer and sweeter than it had ever been before.
 Old Dale stood looking thoughtfully into her upturned face. He was lit tie pale, and he seemed troubled and uneasy.
 Elizabeth shook her head. You're worrying again"
 He dropped into a nearby chair, leaned slowly forward and let one hand fall gently on her thick and silky cheStnut-brown hair.
 "I. wish he said as though to him Seelf. that had daughter like you"
 He took his hand from her head, lay back wearily in his chair and closed his eyes. Then he bent forward again.
 The Moreiands. EliZabeth-they'v moved away from the settlement, haven't they?"
 Yes; Bill Dale has done wonderful things for them!" the girl answered.

 his eyes. His head acned, and he was somehow very tired.
 Within the hour he went to sleep, and when he awoke 1t was daylight on Christmas morning. Ben Littleford, Lalf dressed, was stirring the coas to life in the wide mouthed stone fire place. Dale felt better than he had expected to feel; he greeted Little ford with the compliments of the sea- son, arose and dressed himself.
 Littleford had just gone with a handful of kindling wood toward the kitchen, when there was a low. light tapping at the outside door of Bill Dale's room. Dale arose from his sheepskin-lined rocker before the cheery log fire went to the door and barefoot boy in the poorest of rags :; in the pitfully slender arms there was something wrapped rather loosely in crumpled brown paper. Dale did not remember having seen the lad before, but he knew it was no Littleford.
 Come in, son." he invited cordial ly-"come in and warm yourself My goodness alive. it's too cold to go barefooted like that, Haven't you any shoes. son?"
 "Shoes?" muttered the boy, Queerly. "Shoes?"
 He was shivering from the cold. His thin face looked pinched and blue. his eyes big and hollow. Dale stopped picked him up bodily. carried him to the old rocker he had just vacated and put him into if with hands as gen tie as any woman's.
 H." began the boy. staring haru-"what-"
 Now stick your fee, out and warm them, son-that's it." 3nd Dale chafed the poor little. dirty, half-frozen feet and legs.

 Just before they reached the noun tain'S crest. they passed a group of Snow-laden pines that concealed big, hrown-bearded man who had been stealthily following the trail of a lone wild turkey. He wore khaki hunting clothes and high laced boots, and there was certain English tHeueSS about him. In his bare hands he carried q repeating rifle, which marked him as one born in the hills; a loWlander would have had a choke bored shotgun
 When he saw John K. Dale he stopped suddenly. IL might have been intuition, ar it might have been sheer curiosity, the average hillman being a stranger to ncither-he followed and watched the two. unseen ny them.
 On the pine-frinSed crest, Elizabeth Lttleford halted to view that which lay around and below him. Old Dale stopped close at her side, and he, too looked at that which lay around and below them; and to his mind also there came memories croWdiug
 The young woman brushed back a wayward wisp of brown hair and turned to the man beside her.
 The Morelaud part Q the settle ment looks lonesome, don't itf' she said. See, there's no smoke comin from their cabin chimneyS. She went on ahSently. "But the Littlefords are there yet
 old Dale caught the meaning that was in the latter sentence. IL was not n shallow meaning.
 We are going to take care of the Littlefords. Elizabeth.' he assured her. Eve thought much over it, and just now I've decided. When I decide, it's for all time! you know that, don't you?"
 A great gladneSs filled Elizabeth's heart. IL did not occur to her to ask how, in what manner. he was going to take care of her people 1t was enough to know that he was going to take care of them. He put fathers arm lightly around her shoulders. She tried to speak, choked, and couldn't utter word. But it didn't matter. John K. Dale understood perfectly
 Then he took his arm away. faced to the right, and drew his hat rim low over his eyes. For two minutes he stood there and looked for the little old cabin down near the foot of the north end of the mountain, and he failed to find it. His mind had gone back once more to that woeful night that had cut his life in twain. He remembered plainly waking in the early morning with an aching head and witL the ranking taste of much dead whisky in his mouth. Remembered seeing Da- vid Moreland, with bullet hole through and through him, lying on the floor beside him. Remembered his horror, his smothered cries of anguish, and his hurried flight. -.
 He had wondered, he remembered, why the law made no attempt to track him down. He had not known that the

It was a living curse, a breathing curse-a terrible anathema. IL dead David Moreland himself had arisen from the tomb and uttered it, it would not have struck John K. Dale with greater force. He grew weak, as though with q fatal sickness. He sank to his knees in the snow, and his iron gray head fell forward to his breast. Elizabeth Littleford knelt in the snow beside him. She tried to find comfort ing words, for she loved him and was sorry for him, but no words would come.
 There was slight sound, the muf- fled breaking of a dry twig in the snow just beyond the palings in front of them. Elizabeth Li;tleford looked mp to see the giant figure of John MorelaHd, whose face was white and whose eyes were filled with tue fire of hate and anger. who held a rifle in his cold, bare hands. Tie rifles hammer came back, and the fine trigger caught it with d faint click.

 "Ef 1t was any use fo' ye to pray Carlyle" he said, and his voice was shaking and hoarse and choked, "rd give ye time. But it ain't no use at all Look up. Face it. Try to be a man fo one second in wore low-down life"
 Old Dale raised his head, saw David MorelandS brother, and realized all there was to realize. His eyes widened little; then look of relief fitted across his heavy countenance.
