He was tall. and his bearing was erect and soldierlike. though he air of neatness. He was. plainly, . Southerner of the old type.
 Who's that?" whispered Dale to John Moreland.
 But Moreland didn't hear. He ran forward with his right hand out stretched, and so did Ben Littleford. Men could not have greeted q brother with more gladness, Dale thought
 Hi, thar. Major Bradleyl' the hill- man cried. And how dye come on today7"

 He shook their hands heartily. 'SThe trainmen gave us your messagesyester- day." he went on, still smiling, and we were delighted to learn that the young woman was out of danger. l trust you are all in good health, gen. tlemen."
 They assured him that they were. Moreland turned to introduce Bill Dale and the mining man From the me- ment that Major Bradley gripped Dales hand they were friends.

 "Hah-hah-hah !" slugsishly laughed By Heck, who stood leaning on the muzzle of his rife. "Bill Dale Is all right, major; ye've shore got my word fo' that"
 The others laughed. Then John Moreland said they'd better be nov ing, or they'd be late for dinner.
 When they had put a hundred yards of David Moreland's mountain behind them. the old Southerner tugged slyIy at Dale's sleeve and whispered:
 "Let us fall behind a little, if you please. want to speak with you privately"
 They began to lag, and soon there was a distance of several rods be- tween them and the others.
 q heard through Addie Moreland," began Bradley. his friendly hand on the younger mans arm, about you and what you're planning to do for the Morelands. I tell you, sir, I thanked heaven for your coming, and you may count on me to help in any way I can.

 Babe Littleford's fingers held tightly to his. Tt was me that sent fo' you"
 She turned her face the other way. "l was so lonesome. Bin Dalel"
 Robert McLaurins wife, Patricia, visited Babe twice daily, and friend ship that was none the less warm for being unique sprang up quickly be- tween them. Patricia declared to her husband that she was going to keen Babe-whom she was already calling by ter proper name, the same helno Elizabethp-and educats her. There was room in the bungalow. Patricia said; and she really needed company. because Bobby was away so much.
 Babe accepted httle Mrs. McLaurin's offer as soon as Bill Dale convinced her that she wouldn't be merely an ob- tect of charity. The hill brides first law is that one must pay for what he gets-and it's probably the first law God laid down for old Adam in Eden. Ben Littleford seemed bewil- dered and blue when they told him of the arrangement, but he voiced no ob- jection. Dale pressed upon him a loan of hundred dollars, and or dered him to give il to his daughter, which he did. Elizabeth Littleford, of course, would need new clothing.
 "l ain't even got any dresses at home" she whispered to Patricia, but two"
 Sill 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 to come to an understanding. He had known all along that Babe would have to be educated and a woman's tastes, he reasoned, might. change with educa- tion. And he wanted her to have the opportunity of knowing other men of his class. If she couldn't love him with lasting love, he didn't want her to love him at all.
 Oddly or not. he never thought of Jimmy Payne.
