CHAPTER v

The boy stood at a window looking
out into the gathering dusk. The
nelghing Of horses, the lowing of
cattle, the piping of roosting turkeys
and motherly clutter of roosting hens,
the weird songs of negroes, the
sounds of busy preparation through
the house and from the kitchen-all
were sounds Of peace and plenty, Sc
curity and service. And over In his
ewn wilds at that hour they were
stockade. They were cooking their
rude supper In the open. A man had
gone to each of the watch-towers.
From the blackening woods came the
curdling cry Of panther and the
hooting Of owls. Away on over the
still westward wilds were the wig
vans Of squaws, papooSes, braves,
the red men-red in skin, in blood,
In heart, and red with hate against
the whites.
Perhaps they were circling fire at
that moment in a frenzied war-dance
perhaps the hooting at that moment
from the woods around the fort was
not the hooting Of owls at all. There
oil was hardship-danger; here all
was comfort and peace. If they could
see him now! See his room, his fire,
his bed, his clothes! They had told
him to come, and yet he felt now the
shame of desertion. He had come,
but he would not stay long away. The
door opened, he turned, and Harry
Dale came eagerly in.
Mother wants to see you"
The two boys paused in the hall
and Harry pointed to pair Of crossed
rapiers over the mantelplece.
'Those were your fathers" he said
''he was a wonderful fencer."
The lad shook his head In ignorance
and Harry smiled.
"Pll show you tomorrow"
At a door In the other ell Harry
knocked gently, and voice that was
low and sweet but vibrant with Inn
periousness called:
"Come in!"
Here he is, mother"
The lad stepped into warmth, subtle
fragrance and many candle lights. The
great lady was just rising from 9

chair In front of her mirror, brocaded
powdered and starred with jewels.
So brilliant a vision almost stunned
the little stranger and 1t took an ef-
fort for him to lift his eyes to hers.
"Why, this is not the lad you told
me Of" she said. "COme here! Both
Of you" They came and the lady
scrutinlzed them cOmparingIy.
Actually you look allke-and,
Harry, you haye no advantage, even
II you are my own son. l am glad
you are here" she said with sudden
soberness, and smiling tenderIy she
put both hands on his shoulders, drew
him to her and kissed him, and again
he felt In his eyes that curious sting.

A famous Russian dancer In this

where, without wincing he listened to
a pianoforte performance, more
vigorous than skillful, on the part Of
the daughter of the house.

dancer.

with such sweet imperiousness that
he rose helplessly. Old Hannah's
eyes made bewildered start
"You go ON back an wait for yO'

And when the boy still protested,
she fared up:
"Looky here, son, little miss tell me
to wash yo' foot, an Use gwinter do
1t, eff l got to tie you fust; now you
keep still. Whar you come from?"
His answer was a somewhat haugh-
ty grunt that at Nnce touched the
quick instincts of the old negress and
checked further question Swiftly and
silently she bound his foot, and with
great respect she led him to a little
room in one ell of the great house in
which was tub of warm water.
"Ole marster say you been traveIin'

She closed the door. Once, winter
and summer, the boy had daily
plunged into the river with his Indian
companions, but he had never had a
bath In his life, and he did not know
what the word meant; yet he had
learned SO much at the fort that he
had no trouble making out what the
tub of water was for. For the same
reason he felt no surprise when he
picked up the clothes; he was only
puzzled how to get into them. He
tried, and struggling with the breeches
he threw one hand out to the wall to
keep from falling and caught a red
cord with a bushy red tassel; whereof
there was a ringing that made him
spring away from 1t. A moment later
there was q knock at his door.

SICILIAN SLOWLY
TURNS TO STONE
Is Tramping Across Sand Wastes
in Texas to Die Among Pet
rified Trees.
SCION OF OLD ROME
Race With Death Is Nearing End,
Though His Muscles Are Harden
ing-Fortune Depleted by
World War.

Brownsheld, Texas.-Mile by mile
through the sand wastes of western
Texas, his body slowly turning to
stone so that even a smile on his face
is hardly distinguishable, Guiseppi Or
landO, scion of one of the oldest Sicil-
ian noble families, is slowly trudglng
his way to the petrified forests of
Arizona where he hopes to die.
Unless some passing tourist lends a
kindly hand he may never reach his
destination. The strange malady with
which he was afflicted several years
ago in Sicily is slowly making walk
ing impossible. His nose Is already
as hard as marble. Physicians in
Europe and America, to whom he has
appealed, shake their heads in despair.
He has what Is commonly known as
myositis ossiflcans, a disease in which
large areas of muscles gradually be-
come hardened by limestone deposits.
Arterlal sclerosis Is a similar disease,
but the limestone forms only in the
blood vessels. 1t is only a matter of
time in myOsitis, however, until the
vital organs of the body are affected
and death steps in like a dream at
night.
A Beloved Teacher.
Orlanae, an old man at sixty-twO,
spent his life in little Sicilian village.
Though afforded a good education by
the money one ancestor after another
had handed down to his parents, he
never had to work for a living. He
was not idle. On the contrary, he was
the villages most interesting, most
fascinating teacher. On the curb
stones of one Of the by streets groups
of children flocked about him at all
hours OF the day, even into the night.
He taught them the history Of their
country, the glories Of the old Roman
empire, in which his ancestors played
so great part. What he learned
from books merely supplemented that
which his parents had told him and
his grandparents had told his parents.
The World war vastly depleted the
family fortunes, until he, an only
child, without a definite vocation in
life, too old to learn any, was re-
duced almost to poverty. To add to
his distress he. fell a victim to this
strange disease. He had read about
the petrified forests in the United
States, and he determined, inasmuch
as his own body was soon to be petri-
fed, that he would die where natures
plants and animals had died such a
death.
