CHAPTER XII.
A Hard Blow.
S he was walking past the ru fo
lic wapon yard in the next blocfc
Reymond saw Tarp circulating
about among the groups of men
A
and women and children gathered about
their wagons, and he paused for a mo
ment to watch the active young mer
chant. Presently Tarp left the yard
and approached Keymond-
"You've caught me at it," he smiled.
"This is the sort of work that I can't
trust to my help. Nobody knows ns
well as 1 do how to honey-fuggle
mountain men and women, especially
women. 1 can just take one sweeping
look at a farmer's wife or daughter
and tell whether they are looking fo!
hats, dresses or cloaks, and 1 always
put In a word that stirs their curiosity
and make9 them crazy to get to my
euiporinm of utility and fashion.
"If I think a woman wants a hat 1
just tell about what a wonderful trim
mer Miss Bessie Williams from New
York is and what a stunning- dresser
she Is and they'd rather see her than
the president's wife. I notice you com?
down from the Clarion office." Tnrp's
eyes held a f aroff look of anticipation
as he spoke. "Anything new on tap?"
"Something has happened, but 1
don't know- what It is." Frank answer
ed. "They don't act fair with me. J. L.'
I put them on to every bit of news 1
sorape up. Look how I worked for
them at their big dinner, and yet when
they run on a plum they eat it seed and
all."
Tarp's eyes shone. lie reached out
and took hold of Ileymond's lapel and
thrust a Gnger through a buttonhole.
"That's a fact. You do telegraph news
to city papers, don't you? 1 had clean
forgot it. Of course important, real
important news would be a feather In
your cap. I see. I see. And It is a
shame if they are so greedy that they
won't divide. Now, on this special
piece o' news"
Tarp hesitated and dropped his
glance to the toe of his shoe.
"Do you mean that you know what
it is?" Frank asked eagerly.
Tarp's profile was now toward the
inquirer. lie seemed to wear a sort
of hesitation, that was unusual with
such an outspoken individual.
"Well, you know, it is like this," he
said gravely, twisting his fingers more
-'gorously in the buttonhole. "I am
the mam advertiser and chief moneyed
support of Daniel's paper? nillhouse
would have busted long before he did
if it hadn't been for the hard cash I
paid into his till every week, and I am
"Ain't she a jim dandyl" Abner ex
claimed. doing even more for the new firm, for
they have increased their circulation
enormously and print a respectable
sheet. naturally, I reckon, they do
fcort o talk free like to me about what
is coming, knowing that I keep a lock
on my tongue, as you might say. StilL
when it comes to a matter of public in
terest like the fine bit of news they're
got ready for tomorrow's' issue wel
th?r ought to divide. If they see fit to
be hoggish I'm not so mighty sure that
1 am called on to eat out o' the same
trough. This is going to bother me
Fonie, Frank, for when foul play is be
ing enacted about me I don't like It.
1 like them fellers, and I'm willing to
back them: but they have no right to
gobble up news that fiught to be fre-?
as winds that blow over lerei ground.
"I'm glad you feel that way. J. L.."
Frank said warmly, "and since you
happen to know what they've got up
tlieir sleeve, why"
"Oh. I'm not beholden to them." Tarp
interrupted. "The shoe is ou the other
foot. I'm here to state. They didn't
tell me not to mention it either. I have
ruade no p'romiaes and if 1 tell you my
conscience will be cltar. The item
really is a big one a whopping big
' f
f- 1
one. The only" thing Tm aXrald of is
that half my customers here In town '
may, gTab picks and shovels and cut '
me In the lurch.'"
"Elktown? Frank repeated. "Has
anything happened OTer there?"
"Has there? Good gosh! Say, Tobe,"
Tarp was calling to a negro man who
was slouching past with a sack of flour
on his shoulder "where did you buy
that?"
"Webb & King's," the negro replied,
sheepishly, as he faced toward the
questioner.
"I know." Tarp smiled derisively.
"That is the Golden Glow brand. They
are selling it at 90 cents a sack, while
we are getting rid of whole car lots
to our customers at 80. Tobe, some of
these days you coons will learn where
to do your trading."
"Maybe so, boss," the negro answer
ed, humbly, and moved on.
"Say, J. ?Lu, old man" Reymond al
most with suspended breath returned
to the topic In a pleading tone "you
will tell me about that thing, won't
you? I may be able to do you a good
turn some time."
"I don't care if I do, Frank. I'm
a great hand to stand out for fair
play. And. as I look at it it wouldn't
do Howard and Daniel a bit of harm
to have that news spread all over the
civilized world. They will get the
cream of it. anyway, for I understand
they've got a long, detailed account
of it."
Thereupon the merchant gave an
adroit version of the matter, much to
the satisfaction of the listener, who,
when he had heard the whole story,
fairly panted with excitement.
"It Is great, isn't it?" he cried. "I
heard about that buried gold when I
was a little tot at my mother's knee.
And to think hat it has come to light
r.t this late date!"
"Yes. it is all right, I guess." Tarp
paid, with the faraway expression in
his eyes. "But, after all. it may not
be located, for no living man may be
able to unravel the letters painted on
the rock. I'd put them in my re
port in proper order, if I was you. It
will make the article more exciting.
vFolks In this day and time are anx
ious fo get hold of any sort of a puz
zle, especially if there Is something to
be made by it.
"The letters oh, I forgot," Reymond
broke In. "Of course I ought to have
them. But how could I get hold of
"Oh, you see, Frank, I took the trou
ble to remember them," Tarp said, as
he drew a slip of paper and a pencil
from his iocket and wrote in the palm
of his hand. "Here they are In due
order: T. D. G. A. G. M. E. 85. M. S.
D.' "
"Are you sure you got 'em right?"
Frank asked as he carefully copied the
letters in his notebook. "I wouldn't
make a mistake for anything. This will
create a big sensation ail over the
country."
"The letters are all right." Tarp
wiped a slight, impulsive smile from his
lips, "They could stand for a thou
sand things as well as one and folks
are going to be badly mixed up as to
the true meaning. By the way. Frank,
while you were confabbing with Ab
and Howard did they happen to say
how they liked the Ihe well, the way
the article they got was was shap
ed up?"
"They didn't go Into that part." The
face of the merchant was set In a
mask of expectancy as the reply came.
"But If the style was not all it ought
to be." Reymond added, "Iloward could
shape It up. He knows how to scratch
out and write in, I tell you. He writes
! as smooth as goose grease on any topic
of current interest."
"He'll let that article stand as It
came In!" Tarp spoke without think
ing. "I mean that Is. I judge from all
accounts that the style of the report is
at the top notch breezy, full of ginger.
It is of good length, too. I understand,
and got up by a writer that knows how
to sling ink If If he does reside in the
backwoods."
"Well, I'm much obliged to you, J.
L-; I really am," Frank said gratefully
as they parted in front of Taip's estab
lishment. "I'm going straight to the
telegraph office. You bet I'll heat those
wires. I'll pile it in on them too. The
big dailies don't mind paying for real
news. They may wire me to go post
haste over there. If they do I'll get a
fast horse and make a dash for the field
of action."
The next morning at 10 o'clock the
New Clarion-1 great damp stacks was
being folded, wrapped and addressed.
"Ain't she a jim dandy!" Abner ex
claimed to Iloward and Miss Lizzie
Swnyneas. be held the fropt nago up
and eyed it with delight for the twen
tieth time. "A body could read that
'buried treasure line across the public
square."
Half an hour later the paper was
being sold on the streets, a thing which
had never happened before in the his
tory of Darley journalism. A negro
with a belf carried a banner on his
shoulder bearing the words, written
with a marking brush dipped in lamp
black: "Extra! Great News From Elk
town!" A little white boy with an armful of
papers, timid in his new occupation,
was at his heels.
Abner walked along the opposite side
of the street, a smile of triumpli on
his face,
. "Yell out. thar!" he ordered. "What
did we tell you to say?" As he drew
near Tarp's store Abner saw the mer
chant pasting half a dozen of the front
pages of the paper on the outside of a
plate glass show window.
"Hey. what's this?" Abner asked, de
lighted, as he paused, his hand in the
pot-sets of nis trousers. "Stealin' eur
thunder, eh?"
"Yes." Tarp's eyes gleamed oddly.
"It is big piece of news. Uncle Ab. It
iihrirtftn rbux ialc on the street a
little to have it stuck up for so many to
read for nothing, but it will draw at
tention to the bargains In the' window.
Folks are bound to stop to look, and
my boys will invite 'em in."
"Have you read it clean through?"
Abner inquired.
"Have I? Oh, yes, yes. I wasn't
top busy for that, and I'm here to state.
Uncle Ab, that it Is simply great."
"Yes, good piece o news," Abner
agreed. "Jest look down the street,
Thar is a bunch o' folks readin' it in
every store door an' on every corner.
Look! Thar goes a nigger on a dray
with his kinky head buried in it."
"It is not only fine news, but but
the thing is got up in fine shape, if I
am any judge," Tarp ventured to ire
mark as his eyes swept Abner's fea
tures probiugly.
All the way down to the warehouse
t the end of the street, whither Ab
ner now strolled, he saw excited faces
bending over the wonderful story. Ab
ner recognized an old war comrade.
"By gum, Bill Spriggs!" Abner chuck
led. "An' from Elktown too! I won
der what fresh news he may have?
The gold tnay be found by this time.
Hello, Spriggs, how are you ?"
"How goes it with you, Ab?"
"Oh, so-so," Abner responded. "Any
thing new over your way?"
"Nothin' at all, Ab. We are as dead
as a doornail at Elktown. It is drylu'
up an may blow away one o' these
days. We did have some excitement
t'other day, though."
"Oh, you did?" Abner's face kindled
expectantly. "You were in it, of
course.'
"No, thank God, I wasn't. In fact,
nobody was in it at the time it was
struck."
"Struck! What was struck?'. Abner
cried.
"Why, the Methodist meetin house.
The members had been debatln' on
buying lightnin' rods old members for
an' young ones agin it when the storm
came. It was terrible, Ab."
Abner stood like a man drifting into
stupidity. "Nothin else has happened
over thar, then, except the storm an
the meetin' house? I mean, of course,
within the last three days."
"As for news, I can't think of a thing
just now. Thar is a big excitement in
our neighborhood"
"Oh, thar is? " Abner saw the straw
and clutched it-
"Yes, but it don't seem to me to be
the sort o thing you'd care to print.
Thar is a big talk about churchin' old
Peter Tomlinson. It is whispered
about that he slipped up whar Tim
Iiarnett had been splittin' fence rails
an' stole Tim's new ax."
"Then you hain't heard any other
news over yore way?"
"Nothin else. Ab. An' ef I was in
yore place I believe I'd not mention
Feter's name until.
"No, I'll keep that out. In fact. I
won't mention the durn thing at all.
Well. I'm much obliged, Bill."
"Sold! Sold!" Abner said under his
breath as he walked away. "Some
skunk over at Elktown Is -laughiu
good at us. P.y gum! He tuck me in;
be sure did."
