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

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

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!"

VICE PRESIDENT KING.
He Took the Oath of Office Abroad, but
Did Not Like to Serve.
William Kufus King. lorn April C,
17SG. died April IS. 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. Vice President
King returned t his houieit Cabaw
