her illness. Barbara told her of
Erskine's giving her his inheritance,
and that she had come to return it.
Meanwhile Erskine, haunted by
his mothers sad face, had turned
homeward. To his bewilderment, he
found Barbara at his mothers bed
side. A glance at their faces told
him that death was near.
His mother held out her hand to
him while still holding Barbara's.
AS in a dream, he bent over to kiss
her, and with a last effort she joined
their hands, clasping both.
A great peace transformed her
face and she slowly looked at Bar
bara and then up at Erskine. With
sigh her head sank lower, and
her lsyely dimming eyes passed into
the final dark.
Two days later they were married.
In the silence that fell, Erskine
spoke of the life before them, of its

looked up amazed and incredulous.

The girl would not go to bed, and
the old general from his window
saw her like some white spirit of the
night motionless on the porch. And
there through the long hours she
sat. The dawn came and with it
Ephraim. The girl waited where
she was. Ephraim took off his bat
tered hat.
"Marse Erskine done gone, Miss
Barbary,a he said brokenly. He

The girl said nothing, and there
the old general found her still mo-
tionless-the torn bits of her note
and the torn bits of Erskine's scrawl-
ing deed scattered about her feet.

On the summit of Cumberland
Gap, Erskine Dale faced FREELY east
and looked his last on the forests that
swept unbroken back to the river
James.
That winter he made his clearing
on the land that Dave Yandell had
picked out for him, and in the center
of it threw up rude log hut in
which to house his mother, for his
remembrance of her made him be-
lieve that she would prefer to live
alone.
In the early spring when he
brought his mother home, she said
that Black Wolf had escaped and
gone farther into the wilderness
that Early Morn had gone with him.
Erskine, not knowing that Barbara
was on her way to find him, started
on hunting-trip. In a few days
Barbara arrived and found his
mother unable to leave her bed, and
Lydia Noe sitting beside her.

Grey was not wasting his precious

Grey's blade flew from his hand and
lay like streak of silver on the
dewy grass. Grey rushed for it.
damn youp he ragged, and
wheeled fnriously- patience, humor,
and caution quite gone-and they
fought now in deadly silence.
There was the sound Of voices, and
| it was evident that the game had
ended in a quarrel and the players
were coming up the river-bank to-
ward them. Erskine heard, but if
Grey did he at first gave no sign
he was too much concerned with the
death that faced him. Suddenly Err

iiaboIic grin Of triumph and he
dashed suddenly into dcfense--if he

Grey gave way step by step par

It,rv bits of Ii, hiring. Erskine's face,
grim and inexorable, brought the
sick fear back into Grey's, and En-
skine saw his encmy's lips open.
He lunged then, his blade went
true, sank to the hilt, and Grey's
warped soul started on its way with
craven cry for help. Erskine
sprang back into the shadows and

hand:

Only two arrests of hip-toters have
