i U MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1916. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOUttNAE. TACE I, i - no we are sure you win ate the story of Stephen OWlara, a poor little fatherless, mother less boy from the heart of the Bis Woods. He had never seen more than three houses together in a clearing in all his oung life until the call of The and Beyond the Hills came to him. Then came the great est joy and sorrow of his life he met The Girl. And then but why spoil the story? V CHAPTER I. I Don't'Mind if I Do! HAT year no rain luul fallen for a s .!. of days in tbt hill country. The valley road that wound upward and tll T upward from the town of Morrison r:m a ribbon of iufTy yellow dust be twet-n sun linked, brown sodded dunes: fiiu imrth and north, a tortuous series of 1"is on loops, to lose itself at last in t he ookr promise of the first bul wark of the mountains. Sinee early afternoon Caleb Hunter Lad leen sitting almost immobile in the shude of the trellis which flanked the deep verandas of bis Luce white, thick pillared lioue on the hill above the rn er. It was reminiscent of an other lo-.-ality the old Hunter place on. the valley road. Morrison had changed since Caleb Humer's father topped with the white columned li'iic that hill above the river. J - those days it Lad been lit tle mo' ilan a sleepy if conservative ly pi rous and self sufficient com rau , without industry of any sort, or miplit be added, ambition or iinr need of one. rom the Hunter verandas a half -zen red roofed, brown shingled m:n Era lows, half i -a nips and half cas tles, were visible across the land stretches where the cattle had jrrazetl lefnre. And just beyond Caleb ITun ters own hicrh lox liel?e Pester Al lison's enormous stucco and timber 'summer lodrre" sprawled ami.l n round dozen acres of preen lawn and landscape prardeninsr. its front to the rn er. The tishiner was still far above re-jTiifl- h a 1'ttle farther back country, and iH-xter Allison owned the saw jnills that droned in the valley. Ills mn drove his timler down from the LiUs in tlje north; his men piled the yellow flank upon bis flat cars which ran in over his spur line that had crept tip fim the south. His hundreds and Lundreds of rivermen already trod the sawdust padded streets of the newer Morrison that had sprung intr beinp: lnnond tin; lend; they swarmed in on 1be drives, a hard faced, hard shoul dered horde, picturesque, proficient and profane. They brousrht with them col or and care free prodigality and a ca pacity for abandonment to pleasure that ran the whole pimnt of emotions, from raucous roared chanties to sud den, swift encounters which were as . i'ent as they were deadly. And they spent their money without stopping to count it. The ypuncer generation of the older Morrison was fpiick to point out. tht virtues of this vice. And after a time, when the older generation found that the liveimen preferred their own see lion of the town, ignoring as thoujrh they bad never existed the staid and j!oopy residential streets above, they Leaved a siirh of partial relief and tried to forsret their proximity. It was tbehottest day of the hottest fortnisht that the hill country had known in years. The very tempera fro save color to Allison's statement that the heat had driven them north from the shore him and hi wife and T.irbara. their daughter of ten, and the half dozen or more quests whose trunks, com ins on the next day, made sit even more imposing sicrht than had Allison's own. And yet as he sat there jn the shadow, methodically pull ins: upon his pipe. Caleb Hunter smiled from time to time reminiseently. He was nodding his Lead drowsily when a haze of dust to the north oauriht his vagrant attention. (Juite apparently it .was raised by a foot traveler, and the latter were not fre quent upon that road, especially foot travelers who came from that direc tion. Trivial as it was. it piqued his interest, and he lay back and followed it from lazily half closed eya. It tonerl a rie and di?appc red, .the dust Joud. and reappeared in turn, but not W I Ik scl&fo WE! until it had advanced to within a scant hundred yards of him could he make out the figure which raised it. And then, after one sharp glance, with a quick intake of breath, he rose and went a trifle hastily out across Lis own lawn toward the iron picket fence that bordered the roadside. He went al most hurriedly to intercept the boy who came marching over the brow of the last low hill. Caleb Hunter, . particularly in the last year or so. Lad seen many a strange and brilliant costume pass along that wilderness highway, but as he hung over. the front gate he re membered that none of them hud ever before drawn him from his deep chair fir . V-sr" V lit' Vr. "Air air thet th :ity? in the shadow. For Lim none of them Lad ever (approached in sensationalism the quite unbelievable garb of the boy who came steadily on and on, who came steadily nearer and nearer. With a little closer view of Lim the watching man understood the reason for the dense cloud of dust above the lone pedestrian, for when the boy raised his feet with each stride the man sized hobnailed boots which in cased them failed to lift in turn. In deed, the toes did clearthe ground, but the heels, slipping away from the lean ankles, dragged in the follow through. And the boy's other gar ments, save for Lis flannel shirt and flapping felt hat. were of a size In keeping witL the loots. For a time Caleb had been at a loss to make tmt the object which the boy carried -upon one shoulder, balanced above a "blanket tight rolled and tied with a string. Not until the grotesque little figure was within a dozen paces of him did he recognize it. and then at the same moment that he caught a glimise of an old and rusted revolver strapped to the Ikjv's narrow- waist he realized what it was. The hoy- was. toting' a double springed steel trap, big enough it seemed to take all four feet of any bear that ever walked and it was beautifully dull with oil! Caleb stood and stared, mouth agape. A moment or two earlier he had had to fight off an almost uncon trollable Jesirc to roar with laughter, but that mood had passed somehow as the boy came nearer, for the latter was not even aware of his presence there behind the Iron fence. lie was walk ing with his head up, thin face thrust forward like that of a young and over ly eager setter with the bird in plain sight. The world of hunger in that strained and staring visage helped Ca leb to master his mirth, and when at n tentative cough from him the small figure halted dead in his tracks and wheeled even the vestige of a smile left the" wide waistcd watcher's lips. Then Caleb had his first full view of the boy's features. There were wide, deep shadows Ik neath the gray yes, doubly noticeable because of' the heavy fringe, of the lashes that swept above them: there was a pallid, bluish circle around the thin and tight set lips. 'And the lean cheeks were very, very pale, both with the heat of the sun and a fatkrue now clone to exhaustion. But the eyes themsehes 33 they met Caleb's were alight with a fire which afterward, when he had had more time to ponder it. made hhn remember the pictured eyes of the children of the crusades. They fairly burned Into his own. and they checked the first half jocular words of fireetinfi which h been trembling upon his lips. Ills voice was only grave and kindly when he began to speak. "You you look a trifle tired, young mac." he said then. "Are you going fat?" Lov touched his lips delicately tvitn the point of his toniie. His gravity more than matched tTlat of his questioner. "Air air thct the city?" The words were soft of accent and a little drawling. There was an ac companyiug gesture of one thumb thrown backward over a thin shoul der. Cqt Caleb had to smile a little at the breathless note in the query. " "The cityT' he ecLoed. a little puz zled. "TLe city! Well. now. I" And he chuckled a bit. The boy caught Lim up swiftly, al most sharply. "Thet's ain't thet Morrison?" he de manded. And then Caleb had a glimmer of comprehension. He nodded. "Yes," he answered quietly, "that's the city. That's Morrison down there.' "I thought it war." he murmured and a thread of awe wove through the words. "I thought it est nachelly bed to be! Haow haow many houses would you reckon they might bedaown daown in thet there holler?" The owner of the white columned house gave the question its meed of reflection. "Well. I I'd say quite a few hun dred at least." The odd little figure bobbed his head. "Thet's what old Tom always sed." he muttered, more to himself than to his hearer. "An an' I guess 1 ain't never rightly believed him till naow." And then. "Is is New Yor-rk any big ger?" he asked. The man at the picket fence smiled again, but the smile was without of fense. ell. yes, he answered: "yes, con siderably Linger. 1 should judge 4wicc as large at least, and maybe more than that." The boy dd not answer. He just faced alxmt to stare once more. And then the miracle came to pass. Around a far bend in Dexter Allison's single spur track there came careening an asthmatic switch engine with a half dozen empty flats in tow. With a brave puffing and blowing of leaky cvlmder beads, it rattlea across an open space between piles of timber in the mill yard and disappeared with a shrill toot of warning for unseen work men uion the tracks ahead. The boy froze, to granite-like immobility as it flashed Into view. Long after it had passed from sight he stood like a bit of a fantastie figure cut from stone. Then a tremor shook Lim from Lead to foot, and when, it came slowly about Caleb saw that his small face was even whiter than it Lad leen before be neath its coat of tan and powdery dust. lie swallowed hard and tried to speak and had to swallow again be fore the words would come. "Oh. I may die!" he broke out fal teringly then. "There goes a injine! A steam injine, wa'n't it?" Long afterward, when he had realized that the boy's life Avas to bring again and asrain a roietition of that sublime moment of realization a moment of fulfillment unspoiled by surfeit or so phistication or a blunted capacity to marvel, which Caleb had seen grow old and stale even in the children he knew he wondered and wished that he might have known it himself, once at least. Years of waiting, starved years of anticipation, he felt after all must have leen a very little price to jiar for that great, blinding, gasping moment. Iiut at the time, amazed at the boy's white face, amazed at the hushed fer vor in the words he forgot, be spoke, before he thought. "F.ut haven't you ever seen an engine lefore?" he asked. As soon as the question had left his lips he would have given much to have had it back again. F.ut at that it fail ed to have the effect which he feared too late to check. Instead of coloring with hurt sind shame, instead of subterfuge or evasion, the boy sim ply lifted his eyes lcvelly to Caleb's face. "I ain't never seed mithin"," he stat ed patiently.' "I ain't never seed more'n three houses together in a clearin' before. I I ain't never been outen the timber till today. F.ut I aim to see more naow before I git done I" "The viw is excellent from my veranda." said Caleb as he waved a hand behind hjm. "And you look a little warm anrt tired. If your busi ness is not of too pressing a nature have you" he broke off, amazed at his helpless formality in the matter "have you come far?" And he wondered immediately how the lxy would receive that suggestion that he hesitate, there with the "city" in front of him. a fairy tale to be ex plored. And again lie was allowed lo catch a glimpse of ago old spirit a glimpse of a man sized self discipline beneath the childish exterior. The boy hesitated a moment, but It was his uncertainty as to just wLat Caleb's invitation had offered and not the lure of the town which' made him pause. He took one strp forward. "I been comin' since last Friday," he explained. "I been comin daown riv er for three days naow, and I been comin' fat!" . Again that measuring, level glance. "An I ain't got no business y It," he went on. "Thet's what I abn to locate after I've bed a ehaire to look around a trine. ' But I ain 'tired a little, au" se If you mean thet you're askin' me tc stop for a intuit if you mean thct j-ou're askin' me that why. ihea then I guess I ficn't mind if I do." ' "That's what I mean," said Caleb. And the Jittle figure preceded him across his soft, cropped lawn. Caleb Hunter had never married, and even now at the yagc of forty and odd in particularly mellow moments be was liable to confess that, while mat rimony no doubt offered a far wider, field for both evneral excitement 'and variety, as far as be himself was con cerned he felt that Lis bachelor condi tion had points of excellence too ob vious to be treated with contumely. Fcrhaps the fact tbat Sarah Hunter, four years his senior, had kept so well oiled the cogs of the domestic ma chinery of the white place on the hill that their churning had never been evidenced may have been in part au answer to his contentment. For Sstf'ah Hunter, too. bad never married. To the townspeople, who had never dared to try to storm the wall of her, apparent frigidity or leen able quite to understand her aloof austeri ty, she was little more than a weekly occurrence as dependable as the rising and setting of the sun itself. Every Sunday morning a rare vision of state ly dignity for all her tininess, assisted by Caleb, she descended from the Hun fer equipage to enter the portals of the Morrison Baptist church. After the service she reappeared and. having complimented the minister upon the sagacity of his discourse, agaiu assist ed by Caleb she mounted to hc rear seat of the surrey and rolled back up the hill. That was as much as the townspeo ple ever saw of Cal Hunter's maiden sister unless there happened to be a prolonged siege of sickness in the vil lage or a worse accident than usual. Then she came and camped on tho scene until the crisis was over, soft voiced, soft fingered and serenely sure of herself. Sarah Lad never married, and even though sLe Lad in the long interval which year by year Lad broucht to Caleb a more placid n tundity grown slender and slenderer still and flat chested and sharp angled in face and figure Caleb knew that un derneath' it all there had been no shrinkage in her soul knew that there were no bleak expanses in her heart or edges to her pity. They often joked each other about their state of single blessedness, did Caleb and his sister. Often, hard upon his easy boast of satisfaction with things as they were, she would quote the fable of the fox and the high hang ing grapes, only to be taunted a mo ment later with her own celibacy. But the faunt and the fable had long been stingless. For Sarah Hunter knew that one end of Caleb's heavy gold watch chain still carried a bit of a gold coin worn smooth and thin from years of handling; she knew that the single word across its back, even though it had long ago been ef faced so far as other eyes were con cerned wits still there for him to see. And Caleb, rummaging one day foi some lost article or other in a pigeon hole in Sarah's desk, in which he had no license to look. Lad come across a picture of a tail and black haired lad brave In white trousers and an amaz ing waistcoat. Caleb remembered hav ing been told that he had died for an other with that same smile which the picture had preserved the tall and jaunty youngster. And so ther com prehension was mutuaL They under stood, did Caleb and his sister. But sure as be was of Sarah's funda mental kindness Caleb experienced a twinge of guilty uncertainty that Au gust afternoon as he closed the Iron gate behind the grotesque little figure which had already started across his lawn. For the moment he had for gotteu that the sun was low in the west. He had overlooked the fact that it was customary for the Hunter establishment to sup early during the warm summer months. But when be turned to find Sarah watching, stiflT and uncompromising, from the door way he remembered -with painful cer tainty her attitude toward his pro pensity lo pick up any stray that might catch liim in a moment of too pro nounced mellowness stray human or feline or lost yellow- dog. "Supper Is served, Ca!,f h drawled in her gentle, almost lisping, voice. Caleb received the statement as if it were an astounding bit of hitherto undreamed of news. -'Comin'. Sarah!" he chirped briskly. "Comin' this blessfd minnte!" (To Be Continued.) MARKETING HOGS. Beats burying them. Steve Hoover, Mt.

Uvv'., was a vice president of the t'nited States who never served in that capacity and ne who took the oath of office on foreign soil, something which can be said of no other executive officer who has ever been elected by the people of this coun try. King was an invalid, but his friends urged him to take second place on the ticket with Fierce in IS-"-. Both were elected, but Mr. King's health failed so rapidly that he was forced to go to Cuba some two mouths before inauguration day. Not. having returned to the United Slates by March 4, congress passed a special act authorizing the United States consul at Matanzas. Cuba, to swear him in aw vice president at about the hour when Fierce was taking the oath of office at Washington. This arrangement was carried out to a dot, and on the day appointed, at a plantation on one of the highest hills in the vicinity of Matauzas. Mr. King was made vice president of the United States amid the solemn "Vaya vol con DIos" (God will be with you) of the Creoles who had assembled to witness the unique siectaHe.
