Patterns Of Wolfpen
By HARLAN HATCHER
blythe 49,
SYNOPSIS
bs- Co.

In 1885 Saul Pattern of Virginia
came into the beautiful virgin coun-
try Of the Big Sandy valley in
Kentucky. Chief Of the perils were
the Shawnees, who sought to hold
their lands from the ever-encroach-
ing whites. From huge pinnacle
Saul gazed upon the fat bottoms and
the endless acres of forest in it's pri-
meval quietude at the mouth of the.
Wolfpen, and felt an eagerness to
possess it, declaring it a place ut
for man to LIVE in! Five years
later he returned with Barton, his
ffteen-year-old son, and built rude
cabin. In SauIs absence the In
dams attacked Barton and wounded
him so badly Saul was forced to re-
turn with him to Virginia. In 1895,
when it was reasonably safe, Saul
returned with his family and pat
emit for 1000 acres, this time to
stay. He added to the cabin, planted
crops and fattened his stock on the
rich meadows. Soon other settlers
arrived. A century later, in the
spring Of 1885, we find Cynthia Pat
tern, of the fifth generation follow
ing Saul, perched on the pinnacle
from which her great-great-grand
father had first viewed Wolfpen Bot
toms. The valleys, heretofore un-
touched by the waves of change
sweeping the Republic, are at last
beginning to feel that restless surge.
Her dad, Spared, and her brothers,
Jesse, Jasper and Abral, convert the
old water wheeled mill to steam
power. Cynthia feels that something
out of the past has been buried with
Saul. Cynthia is pretty and magma
tive miss in her late teens, who ofteN
re-created Saul and her other fore
bears, and fancied them still living
Spared proudly brings home the
first meal out of the steam mill, and
Julia his wife, is pleased. Genera
ton after generation has added COM
forts and conveniences to Saul s
homestead, and Spared has not
shirked The family goes easily into
the work of the new season, due to
the simplicity of life designed long
ago on the Wolfpen. Joy is album
dant. Jesse plans to study law. A
stranger, Shellenberger by name
comes to wolfpen, intent on buying
timber. Spared refuses his offer
Shellenberger tells Of progress in the
outside world With the advent Of
shellenberger some intangible dis
turbing alteration seems to aztec
thepf atmosphere of olfpen.

CHAPTER v-continued

81 lust never thought about sell
ing any man buys land if he can
and he sells only if he has to. I'D
rather have my land. A family
ought to have plenty Of land around
them. But here I'm getting along
and it stands to reason in a few
wears it'll go to the children. Some
times it pears like it's coming to
the place where you have to have
more money instead Of making your
own things. And could saw on

stone would go through a log when
nv new engine twirled it."
Jasper found him there among his
herbs and canisters enveloped in a
smell Of turpentine, ginger and tar.
Through the small window came the
bewildered bleating Of the new
lambs.
.How are they?" Spared asked
lust as though he were not thinking
of Shellenberger.
"They're dropping pretty fast
right now," Jasper answered, max
ing the same pretense.
"How's that young eve"
"She's not making it,"
We'll try this" Spared said.
They walked around behind the
barn to the rallied lot where the
ewes were penned. Spared treated
the afflicted one; then they stood
apart from her against the low
fence.
sWhat did you think about that
feller's offer?" Jasper asked, as
though his thoughts had suddenly
and without warning become au-
dible.
81 haven't had chance to think
about it much yet, son."
1--WE better take it."
"Why so?"
.Tt's a good price. That'd be
sight of money"
Spared regarded the lambs max

made no reply.

Sandy? Or might it be in the or
derby manner of Wolfpen? Haste
and greed would never pause for
vision or plan. The Ohio was fill
ing, the West was filling, the noun
tains were filling: everywhere tfrom
what he could learn) the unrest
of men and the memorable pressure
of trade. The outside had pushed
into Catlettsburg, then up to Louisa,
on to Richardson and Paintsville,
and now the big Sandy boats were
towing it right into Pikesville. Most
of the timber on the lower Sandy
was gone and the hillsides were gut
ted with washouts. The demand
was increasing; the hungry mills
must be fed, and now Shellenberger
was up here on Cannon and Wolf
pen wanting logs and land. And
after all, why not? No telling but
the demand might cease. His chill
dred needed the money more than
the stumpage.
There was the new mill that could
run a saw. He had been so busy
with the planting he had hardly
seen his mill. 1t was no crime to
sell cumberland at profit. Senti-
ment could never prosper a man.
He closed the worn history-book
and put it back on it's shelf. He
wound up the weights on the clock,
and bathed his feet, and lay on the
bed, waiting for Julia. When she
had put out the lamp and had taken
her place by his side, he laid his
hand on her face, stroking it gently
and said, 1--WE won't much miss the
land Shellenberger wants and the
money will come in right handy
Il think that's best, too, Spared,
Julia said, just as though they hae
had a long talk about it.
1--WE didn't think much about mo-
having real money when we were
young, did we, Julia?'
'We had this fine place to star
on, and it wasn't bit of trouble tt
make things

EYES,"
That was the talk they had about
selling four thousand acres OF tim
berland to Shellenberger.
Cynthia was awake when the
first undecided birds in the orchard
chirped uncertainty for the morn
ing. By the time they had swelled
to a full chorus with the coming Of
davbreak, she was in the barn
yard opening the gate and watch
ing Spared and Jasper ride down
Wolfpen toward Cannon on their
way to Pikeville. Before they dis
appeared around the lower orchard,
Sparrel turned in the saddle and
waved good-by to Cynthia.
She was still leaning on the gate
when Jesse came out Of the barn
with his own black gelding.
"You open the gate for me, will
you, Cynthia?"
"Why, Jesse, wherever are you
going tor" .-.-'-...------.------

gate. evil you water the sheep |

Eyes, Jesse" She had never seen
him in a furry before. She waved
good-by to him also and watched
him ride hurriedly down the creek
after Spared and Jasper.
He overlook them at the Cannon
creek ford.
"Where are you going to, son?"
Spared asked also in surprise.
II thought I'd just go over to
town, too,,' Jesse said.
II thought you went up to the
field to look after that last piece"
Jasper said, and there was an irri-
tation in his voice.
.'Abral's looking after it."
'What about the sheep, son?''
Spared asked. It was as near as
he got to reproving Jesse for COM
ing along.
"Cynthia will water them all right
Jesse spoke quietly, riding on with
his father and brother up the bank.
Spared said no more; he rode
off at lope up Cannon.
"What are you going to do over
at town anyway" Jasper demanded.
''I've got some business Of my
own to attend to, Jasper" Jesse
said.
They rode in file-Sparrel, Jesse.

climb up Stepstone Hollow by the
bride path which lifted them slow
~ into Cranesnest Gap, took them
around the ridge, and lowered them
into the Big Sandy Bottoms few
miles below Pikeville. AS they
climbed, leaning forward lightly
while the hill-trained mules picked
their way with precise steps up the
mountain, Spared and his sons rose
out of the revolving thoughts that
had possessed them and relaxed
into the untroubled sensation OF
riding up a steep hillside on 8
capable mount. The hills were now
fully awake, and the wild life astil

No one said anything more about

spirit of unrest he had brought into
the family continued and multiplied
in silence through the week. Spar

he had made up his mind he would
say what was to be done. In the
meantime the responsibility lay
heavy, upon him. All the daily pur'
poses Of his life grew easily out OF
tradition: that is the way it had al
ways been done on Wolfpen. But
for this problem there was nc

pie and more trade. The country
was full Of coal and timber; Pike
vile was the distributing point;
strangers like Shellenberger were
arriving and there was talk Of de-
velopment and natural resources
and progress.
The Pattern men rode into Hardin
Slusser's livery-stable.
"Howdy, Spared. Howdy, boys"
Hardin called out.
"Howdy, Hardin"
Fright smart gang of people in

Looks like they're all hitched

''That sure is what we need up

| Spared gestured a good-by to
Hardin and walked with his sons to
the square, three tall men in black
boots and white shirts. Spared in
the lead setting the pace, Jesse and
Jasper in step behind him.
II guess you boys will look after
your own business" Spared said.
"You aim to start back about the
usual time?" Jesse asked.
"About the middle of the evening,
reckon" Spared said.
They separated at the square.
7 Jesse crossed the rutted and
7 dunged street into the crowded
court house grounds, passing knots
, of men who were beginning to drink
. and talk trades, and went around
the corner by the recorders office
toward the pump and watering
trough. There in the center of a
/ crowd was Tandy Morgan. Jesse

addition about45 pounds ofwholesome
Margarine on his bread and in cooking.
Apparently Margarine has not ruined
the butter industry in Denmark.
TOTtax Margarine because it costs less
than butter would be like taxing Fords
because they cost less than LincOIns;
like taxing Iowa corn in favor of Da.
kOta wheat; like taxing Georgia peaches
to raise the price of Oregon apples.
Magazines lower selling price is attrac-
tive to the thrifty and to the millions
of people with limited means.
Will tax on this wholesome and nour-
ishing food product sell more butter
to people who cannot nOIO afford the
higher price of butter?
The answer is No! A tax on Margarine
is a tax for selfish interests, an impos-
sible levy on the food budgets of the
masses who cannot afford to foot the bill.
