there's talk en the mountain aa how you

I'll see yer don't forglt."
The girl began to cry. softly at first, then
broke into wild sobbing. Old Silas hesi
tated, then put tbe rifle back on Its rack,
slowly crossed the room and laid his hands
on the red curls. "There, little gal. pap didn't
mean to skeer tou. Gawd knows this
thing hain't none of my making. There
hain't no man's blood on my hands yet.

'only knows who'll be ther next." He fell
to brooding, with eyes f zed on the flames,
I and Bees nestled down, tbe red curls
! against hla knee.
Over the ridge the full moon swung up
! the aky above a world of silent anund.
of wild fragrance that poured from secret
nook in the cliffs and the ripple of springs
that sprang from their base to trickle away
to the river far down in the valley. Tre
Peter bird sent a aleepy call
til aaken
th owl. who bugled the night alarm to
the frogs in the still pond cn the crest cf
tbe ridge. Bilenf, yet awake In the might
leet of all sens, the mountains brooded
above their children. Little white clouds
drifted' over the face of the moon, shad
ows that ouivered through glades of laurel
and rhododendron, peopled with the white
trunks cf desd poplars and a silver with
a rustle of falling leaves that the early
frost bad doomed.
Turner s Bee crept along In the shadow
of the fence, with swift bare feet that
made no sound, to the turn of the road
where the old white mule stood so long
la the sunset glow. There was no more
doubt of tbe force that was drawing her
on. old Silas had ae'tled that, fine had
alwaya known of the blood feud that stood
liks a wall on the crest of the riice, bit
she could see yet the grim face bent ever
the rifle aee. too. as she had once, when
a little child, shuddered away from the
bleeding body of yeung Hank Riddle. Ja k
Haskins. her man. his fare white in the
sunlight and the pleading eyea rlooed
forever. Some Instinct, like that of a hurt
animal, had driven her through the r ight
to this one spot to brood over the future
that loomed dark with trouble.
A new sound In the whiepeneg of the
woods Br crouched Into the aiLa.jr w an1
listened-vokes aad the stealthy feed of
two men. Her ear to!l her they mere not

went unhesitatingly down the aigxag path

house, whose gray roof she could see
fcgleam In the shifting light: then turned
sharply to the right, and lifting a swinging

have trodden fearlessly. Far beneath tbe

w inding labyrinth and the girl felt her way

either side; then a sudden turn and the red
light flamed from an open fire, around
which were gathered two men and a
woman. Hack in the ahadows stood a mass
of pipes, and tbe faintlah odor of new
whirky filled the cave. Ths woman screamed
hrilly and young Jack sprang for his rifle,

ter lay on the ground while the red curia
were pillowed on the homespun Jacket, two
other figures stepped from the covert of

Haskins stood face to face, rifle In hand,
and between them young Jack, with his
arm thrown around the waist of "Turner's

No sound, save the lark that greeted the
sunset and the whirr of tbe falling leaves,
then old man Haskins spoke to old man
Turner:
"Silas Turner, your pap en mine wus
debtors all their lives for tbe blood shed by
their daddies oer a measly thirty poun'

guns fer each other ever since we wui knee

uncocked my gun." aud be threw down tbe
old flintlock and stood, bead bared and

Crash! Silas Turner's rifle lay beside 1L
and the old men turned to the two who
waited there In the gathering shadows, and
the horny hands met for the first time In
two long live ss old Silas laid the other
hand on the red curia: "Besa my gal, you

If you have a
dirty, shabby office
people think it is
OF M

occur to them that the
janitor is careless, neglect
ful or has more to do than
can be done welL
In reality, it is your own
fault; because you can
move to the Bee Building,
where the janitor will keep
your office as clean and
neat as a Dutch kitchen.
