CHAPTER vlI-cOn,Inusd


The morning was far gone when the
woodsman finished his task at the
feed-pens.
As hs stood leaning against the
fence. the events OF the day before
crossed his mind--the heelprints on
the dusty deck Of the concealed house
boat the ivory handled six gun; the
spark OF nint that had transformed the
pssring eyes OF the preacher when he
faced the desperado's knife From
this. his mind reverted 10 the words OF
Belden about what he had seen In the
little park.
A face rose before him--a face com
polling In It's easy suavity-that. In
spite Of Its studious severity. seemed
10 have a strange fascination for

home with her from tho Festivals
privilege that meant more In tho Flat
woods than anywhere else IN the
world A deep breath came up out OF
his breast; his hand gripped the fence
rail hard.
Hut many an insistent task hay walt
ting. The thought reused him. As he
raised his arm to put on his hat. the
sweat got 1T the cut In his shoulder
and stunx him.
He had intended to haul In some
shock corn from the bottoms lilo
frowned toward the wagon; piucked
the blouse loose about his shoulder:

ers-the man and the woman who had
dreamed the dream that never came
true.
The woodsman had finished his task
az the barn and feedpens that evening
and returned TO the cabin. where.
deeply thoughtful he was half me-
Chemically building a fire In the cook
stove when his quick ear caught the
sound Of light step coming along the
path from the orchard. He laid down
the kindlIng and turned toward the
door.
The light step had stopped. and
Texfe stood outlined In the doorway,
her eyes dancing alive over the
thought Of having taken the alert
woodsman by surprise. the round won
der OF her throat and cheeks touched
10 softer blush by the waning sun
light that slipped In under the Grim
son rambler.
The man dragged or his hat. The
girl glanced over the cabin; lifted her
eyes.
Jack. you're the best housekeeper
In the Flatwoods."
The floor creaked with the weight
OF him as he came TO the door. He
had 10 stoop TO pass under the Intel,
and his massive shoulders spread al
most from Jamb to jamb.

way. There's a wonderful fairy about
these hills som'er's that slips in when

Radio Station Uses
Mountains for Masfs

A wireless station using mountain
peaks for antennae masts has recently
been put into service in Upper Ba-
varia. The wires are supported by a
strong cable and extend from one
peak 800 feet high, distance Of
about mile and a half across coun-
try to the top Of a smaller hill Of
some 2,S20 feet elevation. The sta
ton is designed to communicate d.
rectly with the Far East. Special ar
engagements were necessary for the
fixing of the cable ends and to allow
for its stretching. The end of the
cable is fastened to a small carriage
weighted with stones and running on
rails. When the cable is bent by
snow or wind the carriage is pulled
forward. When the stress ceases it
rolls backward on it's sloping rail-
road.
