CopTTlfht, I9C6, br
CHAPTER XII. (Continufd.) j
It wns on a crisp morning In the sec
ond week of January when the pro
longed agony of sunpenwe drove him to
he mountain. His mother was sitting
op, nnd wns rapidly recovering ner
ItrenKth. Ills father had gone back to
Sis work In the Iron plant, and his un
cle was preparing to return to his
hargo In Smith Tredegar. With no
particular destination In view, It was
Jnly natural that his feet should tlnd
the familiar path leading up to tho
froat boulder under the cedars. Ho
lad not visited the rock of the spring
ilnce the summer day when he. and
Nan Bryerson had taken refuse from
the shower in the hollow heart of It,
nor had ho seen Nan since their part
ner at the door of her father's cabin
under the cliff. Rumor In Gordonla
had It that Tike Hryerson had been
bunted out by the revenue ofllcers; and,
for reasons which he would have found
dllllcult to declare in words, Torn
had been shy about making Inquiries.
for this cause nn apparition could
scarcely have startled him more than
lid the sluht of Nan filling her tAicket
at the trickling barrel-spring under tho
cliff face of the great rock. He came
on her suddenly at tho end of the long
climb up the wooded slopes, at a mo
ment when seml-troplijil growth hav
ing had two full seasons in which to
change the natural aspect of things
he was half-bewildered with the un
wonted look of tho place. But there
was no doubt about It: it was Nan In
the flesh, a little fuller In the figure,
something less childish In tho face,
but with all the fascinating, wild-crea
ture beauty of the child-time promise
to dazzle the eye and breed riot in the
brain of the boy-man.
"Did you know 1 was coming? Were
you waiting for me, Nan?" he bubbled,
gazing Into the great black eyes as ea
gerly as a freed dog plunges Into tho
first pool that offers.
How could 1 be knowln' to it?" she
asked, taking him seriously, or appear
ing to. "I nev' knowed school Jet out
this time o' year."
"It's let out for mo, Nan," he said,
meaningly. "I came homo for good
nearly three weeks ago. My mother
has been sick. Didn't you hear of it?"
She shook her head gravely.
"Say, Nan; I hope you haven't got to
hurry home," he Interposed, when sho
stooped to lift the overflowing bucket.
"I want to talk to you to tell you
something."
"Air you a man now, Tom-Jeff, or
on'y a boy like you used to be?" she
asked.
"I'm big enough to be In my own
way a good deal of the time. I be
lieve I could muddy Sim Cantrell's back
for him now, at arm-holts."
Where's your preacher's coat, Tom-
Jeff. J was pjlowln' you'd be wearln'
it nex' time we met up."
"I reckon there Isn't going to be any
preacher's coat for me, Nan; that's
one of the things I want to talk to you
about Let's go over yonder and sit
down In the sun."
The place he chose for her was a flat
stone half embedded In the up-cllmb-lng
slope beyond the great boulder.
She sat facing the path and the spring,
listening, while Tom, stretched luxuri
ously on a bed of dry leaves at her
feet, told her what had befallen; how
he had been turned out of Beersheba,
and what for; how, all the former
things having passed away, he was
torn and distracted in the struggle to
find a footing In the new order.
"They-all up yonder in that school
where you was at hain't got much
sense, it looks like to me," was her
comment "You're a man growed now,
Tom-JefT, and if you want to play
cards or drink whisky, what-all busi
ness is It o" thelr'n?"
"You stand by your friends, right or
wrong, don't you, girl?" he said, in
sheerest sclf-gratulatlon. "That's what
I like In you. You asked me a little
while back if I was a man or a boy; I
believe you could make a man of me.
Nan, If you'd try."
"If you'd said that two year ago,"
she began, In a half-whisper that melt
ed the marrow In his bones. "But you
was on'y a boy then; and now I reckon
It's too late."
"You mean that you don't care for
me any more, iNanr i Know oetter
than that You'd back me If I had
come up here to tell you that I'd killed
somebody. Wouldn't you, now?"
He waited overlong for his answer.
There were sounds In the air: a metal
lic tapping like the Intermittent drum
mlng of a woodpecker mingled with a
rustling of some small animal scurry
ing back and forth over the dead
leaves. The girl leaned forward, lis
tening Intently. Then three men ap
peared in the farther crooking of the
spring path, and at the first glimpse
of them she slipped from the flat stone
to cower behind Tom, trembling, ahak
ing with terror.
Hide me, Tom-jem Oh, hide me,
quick!" she panted. "Lookee there!"
lie looked ana saw me three men
walking slowly up the pipe-line which
drained the barrel-spring. They wore
too far away to be recognizable to him,
and since they were stopping momen
tarily to examine the pipe, there was
good hope of an escape unseen.
Tom waited breathless for the pro
pitious Instant when the tapping of tha
pipe-men's hammers should drown the
nolso of a dash for effacement. When
It came, he flung himself backward
whipped Nan over his head and out of
the line of sight as It she had been
feather-light, and rolled swiftly after
her. Before she could rise he had pick
ed her up and was dragging her to tha
climbing point under the lip of the
boulder cave.
"Up with you!" he commanded, mak
ing a step of his hand. "Give me your
foot and then climb to my shoulde:
quick!" But she drew back.
"Oh, I can't!" she gasped. "I I'm
too skeered!"
Jumping to catch the lip of the cav
ern's mouth, he ascended cat-like, and
a moment later he had drawn her up
after him.
"I'd like to know what got the mat
ter with you all at once." he said, se
verely, when they were crowded ti
getler In the narrow rock cell; and
then, without waiting for her answer:
"You stay here while I drop down and
keep those fellows away from this sldd
of things."
But It was too late. The men were
already at the barrel-spring, as an In
distinct murmur of voices testified, Taa

girl had another trembling fit when
she heard them, and Tom's wonder was
fast lapsing Into contempt or some
thing like It.
Oh-h-h!" she shuddered. "Do you
reckon they saw us, Tom-Jeff?"
'I shouldn't wonder," he whispered
back unfeelingly. "We could see them
plain enough."
"He'll kill me. for shore, Tom-JefT:
Tom's Up curled. The wolf does not
mate with the Jackal. Not nil her
beauty could ntone for such spiritless
cringing. Love would have pitied her,
but passion is not moved by qualities
opposite to those which have evoked !t.
Then you know them or one m
them, at least," he said. "Who Is he.'
She would not tell; end since the
murmur of voices was still spalnly au
dible, she begKcd in dumb-show for
silence. Whereupon Tom shut mi
mouth and did not open It again until
the sound of the voices had died nw;iy
and the fainter tappings of the ham
mers on the plpo-llne advertised the.
retreat of the Inspection party.
"They'ro gone now," he said, short
ly. "Let's get out of hero before we
stifle."
But a second time 111 chance Inter
vened. Tom had a leg over me nrm
and was looking for a soft leaf bed to
drop Into, when the baying of a hound
broke on the restored quiet of th
mountain side. He drew back into
hiding.
The girl's ague fit of fear had passed
and she seemed less concerned about
the equivocal situation than a girl
should be; at least, this is the way
Tom's thought was shaping itself. Ho
tried to imagine Ardea In Nan's place,
but the thing was baldly unimagina
ble. A daughter of the Imbncya would
never run and cower and beg to be
hidden at tho possible cost of her good
name. Ana nun a wuju uiu 1101 iieip
matters.
"What makes you so cross to me,
Tom-Jeff?" she asked, when he drew
hack with an Impatient exclamation.
"I hain't done nothln' to make you let
on like you hate me, have I?"
"I don't hate you," said Tom, frown
ing. "If I did, I shouldn't care." Just
then the hound burst out of the laurel
thicket on tho brow of the lower slope,
running with Its nose to the ground,
and he added: "That's Japhe Petti
grass' dog; I hope to soodness he Isn't
anywhere behind It"
But the horso-traaer was behind tho
dog; so close behind that he came out
on -the continuation of the pipe-lino
path while the hound was still nosing
among the leaves where Tom had lain
sunning himself and telling his tale of
woe,
"Good dog seek hlmt What Is It,
old boy?" Pettlgrass came up, patted
the hound, and aat down on the flat
stone to look on sujlously while the
dog coursed back and forth among thu
dead leaves. "Find him, Caesar; find
him. boy!" encouraged Japheth; and
finally tho hounded pointed a sensitive
noso toward the rift In the side of the
great boulder and yelped conclusively.
D'ye reckon he cllmm up thar, Cae
sar?" Pettlgrass unfolded his long legs
and stood up on the flat stone to at
tain an eye-level with the Interior of
the little cavern. Tom crushed Nan
Into the larthest cranny, and flattened
himself lizard-like against the nearer
side wall. The horse-trader looked
long and hard, and they could hear
him still talking to the dog.
"You're an old fool, Caesar that's
about what you are and Solomon al
lowed thar wasn't no fool like an old
one. But you needn't to swaller that

for certain. Come on, old dog; let's be
gettin' down the mountain."
The baying dog and the whistling
man were still within hearing when
Tom swung Nan lightly to the ground
and dropped beside her. No word was
spoken until she had emptied and re
filled her bucket at the spring, then
Tom said, with the bickering tang still
on his tongue:
"Say, Nan, I want to know who It 1b
that's going to kill you if he happens
to find you talking to me."
She shook her head despondently. "I
cayn't nev' tell you thut, Tom-Jeff."
"I'd like to know why you can't."
"Because he'd shore kill me then
"Then I'll find out some other way."
"What differ' does It make to you?"
she asked; and again the dark eyes
Bcarched him till ho was fuln to look
away from her.
I reckon It doesn't make any differ

tlmo you were willing enough to tell
me your troubles, and
"And I'll nev' do It naree 'nother

CHAPTER XIII.
The twilight was glooming to dusk
when Silas Crafts came out of the
church and locked the door behind
him. If he were surprised to find Tom
waiting for htm, he made no sign, Nel
ther was there any word of greeting
passed between them when he gather
ed his coat tails and sat down on the
higher step, self-restraint being a her
ltago which had come down undlmln

both.

grievously hard, Thomas. I think you
are already finding It so, are you not?"
"That doesn't meun what it used to.
to me. Uncle Silas; nothing means tho
same any more. it s Just at If some
body had tilt that part of me with a
club; It's all numb and dead. I'm sure
of only one thing now: that Is, that
I'm not going to be a hypocrite after
this. If I can help it."
"Have you been that all along,
Thomas?"
"1 reckon so" monotonously. "At
first It was partly scare, and partly be
cause I knew what motner wanted. Hut
ever since I've been big enough to
think, I've been asking why, and. ua
you would aay, doubting."
"You have come to the years of dls-
cretlon, Thomas, and you have chesws
death rather than life. If you go on
ns you have begun, you will bring the
gray hairs of your father and mother
in sorrow to the grave. Leaving your
own soul's salvation out of the Ques
tion, can you go on and drag an up
right, honorable name In the dust and
mire of degradation?"
"So," said Tom, defiantly. "And
whst's more, I don't mean to. I don t
know what Doctor Tollivar wrote you
about me, end It doesn't make any dif
ference now. That's over and done
with. You haven't been seeing me ev
ery day for these three weeks without
knowing that I'm ashamed of It."
"Ashamed of the consequences, yoj
mean, Thomas, i ou are noi repent
ant." "Yes, I am, Uncle Silas; though may-
bo not In your way. I don't allow to
make a fool of myself again."
'Tom, my boy, if any one had told
me a year ago that a snori iwcive
month would make you, not only an
apostate to the faith, but a shameless
liar as well "
"Hold on, Uncle Silas. That's mighty
near a fighting word, even between
blood kin. When have you ever caught
me In a lie?"
"Now!" thundered the accusing
voice; "this moment! You have been
giving me to understand that your sin
ful rebellion at Beersheba was the
worst that could be charged agalflnst
you. Here, at your own home, when
your mother had Just been spared to
you by the mercies of the God whoso
commandments you set at naught, you
have been wallowing In sin In crime!"
"If I can sit here nnd take that from
you, it's because It isn't so."
"Wretched boy! Out of your own
mouth you shall be convicted. Where
were you on Wednesday morning?"
"I was at home most of the time;
between 10 o'clock and noon I was on
the mountain."
"There were three of you: a hard
ened, degraded boy, a woman no less
wicked and abandoned, and the devil
who tempted you."
"It's a lie! I Just happened to meet
Nan Bryerson at the spring under the
big rock. I don't have Lo defend my
self! If you can believe I'm that low
down, you're welcome to!" Then, ab
ruptly: "I reckon we'd better be going
on home; they'll be waiting dinner for
us at the house."
He got on his feet with that, but the
accuser was still confronting him, with
the dark eyes glowing and a monitory
finger pointed to detain him.
"Not yet, Thomas Gordon; there Is
a duty laid on me. I had hoped anJ
prayed that I might find you repent
ant; you are not repentant Jour fath
er has a letter from Doctor Tollivar;
the doors of Beersheba are open to you
again. 1 had hoped" The pause was
not for effect It was merely that the
man and the kinsman fn Silas Crafts
had throttled the righteous Judge. "It
breaks my heart Thomas, but 1 must
say 1L You have put It out of your
power to Bay with the Psalmist, T will
wash mine hands in lnnocency: so will
I compass thine altar, O Lord.' You
must give up all thoughts of going
back to Beersheba."
"Don't trouble yourself," said Tom,
with more bravado. "I wouldn't go
back there If It was the only place on
Prth." Then suddenly: "Who was it
that told on me, Uncle Silas."
Never mind about that It was one
who could have no object in misstat

STANDARD OF LIVING.

The Costly Mosquito.
Dr. L. O. Howard calls attention to
the enormous money losses caused by
mosquitoes. The value of real estate
in regions Infested by them is reduced
beyond calculation. The development
cf the whole state of New Jersey, says
Doctor Howard, has been held back by
the mosquito plague. In several states
lands eminently fitted for grazing and
dairying cannot be effectively used for
such purposes because of the attacks
of mosquitoes on the cattle, which re
duce the yield of milk. In the vicinity
of New York and Philadelphia large
areas of laud are rendered almost un
inhabitable by swarms of these in
sects, and this notwithstanding the
advances made In tho destruction of
their breeding places, says Youth's
Companion. In some parts of the
northwestern states horses have to be
covered in the daytime with Bheots to
protect them from the attacks of mos
qultoes. Doctor Howard estimates the
cost of house screens In the United
States at $10,000,000. The remedy is

In colors. It is the invention of Wil
liam Frlese-Green. He uses filters
made of thin celluloid ribbon to take
his negative films. The band is dl
ylded into sections, colored in the or
der, red, green, blue and so on, la
definitely. The sensitive film and fll
ter ribbon pass the shutter of the
camera together as the successive pic
tures are taken. The same ribbon is
used when the pictures are repro
duced on the screen, when if the ma
chine is operated swiftly, the per
sistence of vision gives the appearance
of a single moving picture in natural
, color.

USEFUL BED FOR HOSPITALS f
Can Be Lowered or Raited at Head to
Any Position Comfortable
for Patient.
A boon to the bed-ridden and to
thotifinndsof hospital patients through
out the country Is the Invention of a
Kentucky man. This Is a bed which
can be raised or lowered at the head
to any position comfortable to the pa

In addition. A pair of standards with
a crossbar, looking like a horizontal
bar on rollers, holds the upper end of
the bed suspended. At one side of
the standards is a wheel and gear
by which the head of the bed may be
raised or lowered to change the posl-

T-shapod bar to be placed under the
legs of the patient, so that when the
bed is tilted at a steep angle he Is
kept from sliding downward, the bar

In Many Cases It Is Worn Unprotected
on Sleeve of Coat Fastened
by Shank.
One of the most novel of the many
novel forms of watches is the button
watch Invented by a New York man.
The case of this watch is the size
and shape of an ordinary button, such
as is worn on a man's coat sleeve, but
hollow, and the works are inside. The
dial is fastened to the case by a Ions,
Odd Button Watch.
strong shank. There can be a pocket
In the cuff of the coat sleeve Into
which the little tirao piece will fit,
but in some cases it Is made to wear
unprotected on the sleeve. Except
for the face it would be almost Impos
sible to tell It from the other buttons
on the coat. Tthere used to be a
novelty watch that was worn In the
buttonholes of the coat lapel, but this
one is used as a regular button.
WIND GUIDE FOR AERONAUTS
Furnishes Aid Corresponding to Pilot
Charts of Ocean Navigator
Record of Years.
A unique sign of the times Is Dr.
Richard Assmann's guide to the winds
of Germany, prepared from the rec
ords of the direction and force of the
winds kept at forty-nine well-distributed
stations for an average of nearly
twenty-one years. It furnishes the
aeronaut with an aid corresponding to
the pilot charts of the ocean naviga
tor. For each season and each sta
tion It shows how often, on the aver
age, the wind blows from each of eight
directions, and the average frequency
of the various degrees of wind be
tween a calm and a hurricane. It in
dicates the best places and times for
making ascents, with the direction air
ships without high power will prob
ably drift. More than this, it suggests
tho best location for airship sheds and
ports, and gives evidence that not
only are places near the coast unsuit
able, but that many Inland stations
are uncomfortably stormy. Friedrichs-
hafen, chosen by Count Zeppelin for
his great sheds, is an unfavorable
place for handling the huge airships.
The records show that it has an aver
age of twenty-four stormy days a year,
while Cello has only twenty-two such
days, Berlin and Cassel only four, and
seven other stations less than ten.
New Use for Moving Picture.
The moving picture Is now applied
to educational purposes. Chemical
tests are now exhibited on the screen.
There are films Illustrating the elec
trolysis of water, the action of nitric
acid on silver, ana action of aqua
regla on metallic gold, etc. The test
tube is thrown on the screen many
times enlarged and the chemical ac-.
tlon clearly Illustrated. Most un
savory but educational Is a film illus
trating the peril of the fly. The flies
are shown laying eggs in unsavory
places, and before the eyes of the
spectators the eggs develop in heaps
of wriggling maggots. In the final
stage the winged fly Is shown in all
Its unsanitary glory. Still another
film exhibits the acrobatic fly lying on
Its back Juggling various articles with
Its feet, and even swinging a dumb
bell as large as tho Insect itself.

mits the farmer to produce a certain
amount of grain or potato aiconoi, tne
amount depending upon the size and
location of the farm and the annual
demand for the product, upon the pay

allowed is subject to the higher rate
of taxation. Denatured alcohol, how
