She closed the book and looked up

and neither cared to speak them to

Just before they reached the noun
taih's crest, they passed a group Of
shsw-laden pines that concealed a big.
brown-bearded man who had been
steelthIly. following the trail of a lone
Wild turkey. j He wore khaki hunting
clothes and high laced boots, and there
was a certain English fineness about
him. In his bare hands he carried a
repeating rifle, which marked him as
one born in the hills; lowlander
would have had a choke.bored shotgun.
When he. saw John X. Dale he
stopped suddenly. 1t might have been
Intuition, or 1t might have been sheer
curiosity. the average hillman being a
stranger to nelther-he followed and
watched the two. unseen by them.
On the pine-fringed crest. Elizabeth
LittlefOrd 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 crowding. '. p
The young woman brushed back a
wayward wisp of brown hair and
turned to the man beside her.
"The MOreland part O the settle
Inent looks lonesome, don't it7' she
said. "See. there's no smoke comm
from their cabin chimneys. - She
went on absently. But the Littlefords
are there yet"
Old Dale caught the meaning that

Il shallow meaning. -..... .....

Littiefords. Elizabeth" he assured her
i've thought much over 1t, and just
now I've decided. When decide, it's
for all time! you know that, don't
you7"
A great giadness filled Elizabeth's
heart. 1t did not occur to her to ask
how, in what manner, he was going to
'oAS SoAS Va hSi pcOpie II WIS enough
to know that he was going to take care
of them. He put a fathers arm lightly
around her shoulders. She tried t.
speak. choked, and couldn't utter 4
word. But it didn't matter. John X
Dale understood perfectly.
Then he took his arm away. faced t.
the right, and drew his hat rim low
over his eyes. For two minutes h.
stood there and looked for the little OLE
cabin down near the foot Of the nortl
end of the mountain, and he failed t,
find 1t. His mind had gone back one,
more to that woeful night that had Gu
his life in twain. He remembered
plainly waking In the early mornin,
with an aching head and with tn,
ranking taste Of much dead whisk,
In his mouth. Remembered seeing Da
vid Moreland, with bullet hol,
through and through him, lying on tn,
floor beside him. Remembered hi
horror, his smothered cries of anguish
and bis hurried flight. ..
He had wondered, hs remembered
why tho law made no attempt to tracl
