There were two sets of tracks. To his
surprise one set led back toward the
cliffs above the homestead. He fol.
! lowed it. At point along the bluffs
that commanded the nearest view OF
the cabin under the crimson rambler
the mussed leaves and broken weeds
beneath clump Of bushes at the very
brink of the rocks showed where the
renegade. had concealed himself. Three
haic-burned matches, with which he
had probably lighted his pipe, indicat-
ed that he had remained some time.
Jack glanced down at the tiny cabin,
the barn-lot, turned and followed the
trail back under the trees.
Past the log IT led, away to the
north, down the face of the wooded
bluff and into the narrow road that
threaded Eagle hollow He followed 1t

head of the hollow into which Loge
Belden and his sister had lately
moved; stopped; studied the place
critically for moment finally turned,
climbed the bluff and, with an I'M
comfortable feeling Of hidden eyes
upon him, returned to his task at the
fence
The forenoon was gone BY the time
he finished It. As he trudged back,
the corner where he had found the
yellow orchid drew his eye irresistibly.
Raktas away the dead leaves he dug
It up, being careful to leave enough
sail about the roots to prevent their
w4tAering, and carried 1t In his hands
ont through the trees and up among

In the tiny flower bed At the foot
of the sandstone pinnacle where the
three names were carved, he followed

set the orchid with tho others-All Of
them doubtless having come there at

to his feet and stood deeply ponder

CHAPTER VIZ
Fancies and Fence Rails.

JACK Warhope made a one-handed
job OF his work among the feed-pens
next forenoon, though 1t was task
sor two. The young woodsman was
Immensely sensitive over the fact that
he was bound boy, though Simon
colin never obtruded 1t on him and
seldom exercised any sort Of authority
ever him.
He allowed him to live on In the
cabin where his father and mother
had dreamed their dream. to come and
go as he pleased. The shrewd old
money-lender probably knew that the
young mans high spirit would urge
him further than any amount of exer-
eised authority possibly could. And
Simon Colin knew the race from
which his bound boy had sprung.
From the first. Simon's treatment Of
his bound boy had caused his neigh
bors no small wonder--it was SO I'M
like him. He had sent him to the vii
lage school till he outgrew it, and had
allowed him to roam the woods with
out any sort of restraint. Far from
discouraging his very aptitude for
woodcraft, he had even loosened his
heart-strings-and his purse-strings;
an Infinitely harder thing for him to
ldo---to the extent of buying him the
best d0uble-barreled shotgun the mar
ket afforded. and revolver of model
revolver-making could produce at that
time-two gifts on which the boy GER
tainly cast no discredit.
The morning was far gore when the
woodsman finished his task at the
feed-pens.
AS he stood leaLing 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 flint that had transformed the
peering eyes of the preacher when he
faced the desperado'S knife. From
this, his mind reverted to the words Of
Belden about what he had seen In the
Dttie park.

What Two Georgians Said.
From the Industrial Index.

In tvDica1 Georgia town the other day we
listened to what two successful manutactur-
rrs had TO say-about Georgia, The remarks
we're made in the course Of two separate con-
versatons and what was said was purely IN
cidental to the general conversation.
One of the men, who was born in Geor-
Ola and has spent his entire life in the state,
said:
Georgia is wonderful state, with resources
that are truly remarkable, when you consld-
er them one by one. | consider it the great
est of our southern states and this IS SAID
without disparagement OF any OF them Much
is being said, and properly, about the SPLEEN
did development in Florida and North Caro-
lima. As a southerner | rejoice in their pros
perty, and as a manufacturer it pleases me-
too. for this plant sells a great deal OF its
products in those two states. But neither OF
these two is going to Surpass Georgia. we
have the best farm lands in the southeast in
this state We have the greatest variety OF
soil. climate and natural resources to be
found in any state. Georgia, in my opinion
will always remain the empire state OF the
south"
Enthusiastic, indeed, was this Georgian! He
was as proud as he could be OF the progress
of Florida and North Carolina, and duly ap-
Dreciative of Alabama's immense potential
ties, to which he referred in his converse
ton but after all, as he saw it, there is just
one Georgia.
The remarks made by the other manufact-
urer apply not simply to Georgia, but to the
entire southeast. He was born in one OF the
most highly developed of the European coun-
tries, a country noted for stability and sub
stantial prosperity, but has spent most OF
his life in Georgia. He visits Europe quite
often and so knows conditions in the Old
World from personal observation. He said:
1--WE have here in Georgia and the other
southeastern states the finest country in the
world We may not realize it, but it is abb
soutely true We have extraordinary re-
sources in the way of soil, favorable climate,
water power, raw material, transportation
and proximity to great markets. We COM
plain a great deal about the boil weev1l and
to hear folks talk at times this section of the
country is headed for the bankruptcy court;
and vet we are wonderfully well off We GER
tainly are better off, even under present boil
weevil conditions, than the folks in my ma
tive country in Europe. And possibilities Tor
development here are infinitely greater than
in the older European countries.
Our greatest trouble here in Georgia! III
tell vou-sheer laziness. We can grow any
thing in the world we want to grow IN this
soil. and in these ATTITUDES manufacturing
possibilities are great We simply must rise
to our opportunities.
