CHAPTER I!.
The Logical Custodian.
HEX, villi a .:; . ai attempt
at disinge :uiou--iK'ss. Caleb
.said:
"I I've a friend here. Sarah.
T
7 r-oi-T
vlmr! IM Hko t or jinvi'iit m you.
This is my sister. Miss Hunter."' he an
in tun ed to tin; siler.t hoy. "a :ul this
yoiiii-JT man, Sarah, this youii man is
-ei all Mr."
"I'm Steve," said the loj
"I'm just Stephen O'Mara."
"Certainly!" gasped Ca'.e'.
mildly.
'Quito
m -'iiiito so! Sarah, this is just Steve."
The frail little woman -with her
piaint dignity of another decade failed
t move. She did not unbend so much
its the fraction of an inch. Hut hard
upon the heels of Caleb's last words
the boy went forward unhesitatingly.'
Hat in the hand that balanced his big
steel trap, he stopped in front of hei
and offered one brown paw.
"Ilaow d'ye do. Mis.s Hunter?" he sa
luted her gravely, and with a slow
smile that discovered for her a row of
white and oven teeth: '"Ilaow d'ye do?
I I reekon you're the first dressed up
lady I ever did git to knew!"
The calm statement took what little
lnvath there had bee.a left in Caleb's
lungs. It left Sarah breathless too.
Hut after an infinitesimal moment of
waiting she held out her own delicate
lingers and took the outstretched hand.
"Ilaow d'ye do, Steve-'" she answer
ed, and Caleb was at. a I0.-3 to in
terpret the suppressed quality of her
voi. e. "And I some day I am sure it
will be a great pleasure to remember
that I was the hr&!"
Then she faced her brother.
"Will your will your friend, Mr.
Steve remain for supper, Cal?' she
a-ked.
And Caleb, quick to see an opening,
made the moft of this one.
"Stay for supper!" he repeated her
question, and lie laughed. "Stay for
sapper! Well, I should hope ho would.
Why why, he's going to stop fo.r the
night."
From the vantage place there at the
top of the steps Sarah stood and sur
veyed her brother's wide and guileless
f:i e for a second. Then her lips began
to twit h.
"Very clever, Cal," she told him.
"Quite clever for you!"
And she nodded and withdrew to see
that the table wa.s laid for three.
Caleb, chuckiimr. watched her go:
then, with a nod to the boy. he started
to follow her in. Put Steve paused p.t
the threshold, and when the man stop
ped and looked back to ascertain the
cause of his delay he found that the
boy was depositing the bo;ir trap upon
the porch floor found him tutrging to
free the rusty old revolver from hi
belt.
"I'll leave Samanthy here,"' the one
railed Steve stated, and Caleb under
stood that he meant the tnip. "An I
reckon I d better not lug my weapon
into the house neither, hed IV She
might" lie nodded in the direction
of Sarah's disappearance. "Old Tom
says womin folks that's gentH bora air
hind-a skittish about bavin shoothi"
irons araound the place. And I don't
reckon it's the part of men folks to
Poster 'em."
Caleb didn't know just what to say,
so be merely nodded approval. Again
lie had been made to feel that it was
not a boy, but some little old man. who
was explaining to him. Silently he led
the way upstairs, and after he Ii:td seen
the blanket pack deposited in one cor
inr of Sarah's beloved guet room,
aTler ho had seen fh rn-ty coat peeled
off as :t preface to removing the dust
accumulation of the long hot day from
hands and f;ieo, an inspiration came to
Jiiin. AVhile the boy was washing, ut
terly lo-t to every tiling but that none
loo simple t;ik, he went out of the
loom on a still hunt of his own and
came back presently with the thing for
which he had gone searching- He
found the boy wrestling a little desper
ately with a mop of wavy chestnut,
hair, which only grew the more help
less with every stroke of the brush.
"Never mind that." Caleb met the
misapprehension in the boy'.s eye.
"Never mind that. And 1 I've taken
the liberty f digging out this old can
sf tooting coat. It's one I got for
Sarah for my sister bi:f. as you say,
Avomrii folks are mighty skittish about
anything that has to do with a gun.
She never would go even so far as to
try it on. but if you don't mind That
r-at of yours must be a trifle Lot lor
this weather, I should say."
Steve reached out a hand that trem
bled a little and took the coat. He took
it and stared at it with that same
trained and hungry look' which he
ad bestowed u half hour before upon
the "city."
"Do you meui." he aked, ami -his
lips remained parted breathlessly uiKn
the question "do you mean tins
ore's for me?"
Caleb thoiu:ht of the "injine"' the
".-team injine."
"I mean just that if you'll have it,"
he replied. , .
The boy slipped his little body into
karris
the garment and wheeled to survey
hiniseli.' in a mirror. In comparison
with his old coat it was the purpla of a
Solomon. There was a cartridge web
across its front, with loops, and after
he had looked long and long at his re
tleci'.on he boy thrust both his thumbs
into the belt it made.
Then: "Them's fer ket ridges," he an
nounced solemnly.
He scowled judiciously and nodded.
And, "I'll hev to git me some the lirst
thing m the lncrnin'," he said.
At table the boy talked freely al
ways with his wide eyes upon the face
of his questioner, always in the grave
End slightly drawling idiom:' of the
woods. Again he confided that he had
never before been out of the timber.
He explained that Old Tom's untimely
taking off a fortnight back had been
alone responsible for this pilgrimage.
And that opened the way for a ques
tion which Caleb had been eager te
ask him.
"I suppose this this Old Tom was
some kin of yours?" he observed.
The boy shook his head.
"No," he answered, "no. I ain't never
hed no kin. I ain't never hed nobody
father ner mother, neither!"
Caleb saw Sarah start a ilt-le and
bite her thin lips. But the b'rdlike
movement of surprise was lost upon
the speaker.
"I ain't never hed nobody." he re
averred, and Caleb, straining to catch
a note of self pity or plea for sym
pathy in the words, realized that the
lioj" didn't even know what the one or
the other was. "I ain't never hed no
body but old Tom. And ho was lie
wasn't nuthin' but what brt, called my
my" the sentence was rken while
ho paused to get the phrase correctly
"he was what he called my 'logical
custodian.' "
I uiltily Cal"b knew that his liext
question would savor of indelicacy, but
heliad to ask it just the same.
'Still I suppose his Lis taking oft
must have been something in the naV
ture of a blow to you?" he suggested.
The boy pursed his lips.
'Wall, no," he exclaimed at last non
chalantly; "no-o-o. I can't say's it was.
We'd both been cspectia' it, I reckon.
"Do you mean this yere'i. for me?"
Old Tom he often fed he knew that
some day he'd go and git just blind,
stavin' drunk enough to try an swim
the upper rapids, and two weeks ago
he done so."
And the rest of the words were quite
casual.
"I kind-a reckon he'd hev made it at
that," lie offered his opinion, "if they'd
her been a trifle more water. But the
rocks was too close to the surface fer
comfortable swimmin. The Jenkinses
found him down in the slack water
Sunday noon or thereabouts, and they
sed he'd never be no deader, not eveji
if he'd a-died in a reg'lar bed. with a
doctor lielpin' liim along."
Caleb threw his sister one lugubri
ously helpless glance. Sarah had chok
ed apparently upon a crumb of bread
and was coughing .strangliugly.
This time when Caleb lifted his eyes
he met a startled gleam behind Sarah's
half dropped lashes. She was peering
steadily into the boy's lean, untroubled
face. Caleb voiced the query which h?
knew must be behind her quiet intent
ness. "You said your name was O'Mara. I
believe. I suppose that was ah Old
Tom's last name too?"
Steve laughed, lie laughed frankly
for the first time since ho had halted
hours before outside in the dusty road.
"Why. Old Tom had a dozen different
names in the last few years," he re
plied. "He had a new one every thue
he went outen the -woods fer a trio.
But he always sod he mostly favored !
Brown or Jones or Smith, they bein
quiet and commou and not too hard to
remember, lie just changed names
'whenever he got tired of his old one. j
Old Tom did. But he always did say,'
too, that if he'd hed as good a one as
O'Mara h'd a-kept it and kept it
1 - agg
1 '
proud."
At the conclusion of that statement
it was Miss Sarah's gaxe which went
searching across the table for her
brother's eyes. But the boy just ran
on and on, totally oblivious to their
glances.
He told them of his lonely days in
the woods shack, when Old Tom went
down river nnd was three or four
weeks in returning; he dwelt upon
blissful days in the spring whe'n he
had been allowed to play a man's part
in the small drives which he and Old
Tom and the Jenkinses began and
which Old Tom and the Jenkinses
alone saw through to market in Morri
son. He touched lightly and inconse
quentially upon certain days when Old
Tom would hung for hours over an old
tin box tilled with soiled and ink
smeared memoranda, periods which
were always followed by days of
moody silence and a week or more of
"lessons" in a tattered and thumbed
reader which the woodsman had
brought up river lessons as painful
and laborious to Old Tom as they were
delightful to the starved mentality of
the pupil. And Old Tom, the boy ex
plained, was pretty likely to be "lick
ered up for quite a spell" after such a
session, which invariably egan with
r:i exploration of the battered tin
box.
The boy told Caleb of days and
nights on the trail boasted uiicod
scoesly of Old Tom's superciunln;
with trap and deadfall ami reu pois
oned bait. And that brougtuv him to
the beautifully oiled bear trap which
he had left outside the door.
"I brung Samanthy along with me,"
he stated. "I'brung her just because
somehow I kind-a thought mebby Old
Tom'd be glad if I did. Next to me he
always sed he set a heap o' store on
thet ole critter. He sed Samanthy
was as near to hevin a woman around
the house as anything he knew on
she hed a voice like a steel trap, and
w hen she got her teeth sot in a argu
ment she never did let up. I brung
her along with me, and the gun he
give me, but I didn't take nuthin'
else."
Caleb waited there until he knew
that the boy had finished.
"You never bothered about that old
tin box?" he inquired casually.
The hoy shook his head again.
"Old Tom. whenever he went away
for a spell, always sed I wan't to med
dle with it." he explained. "This time
I reckoned his goin' was just about the
same thing, only he won't be com in'
back, so I I just locked the box up
in the cubberd and hitched the staple
into the door and come down myself."
By the time that meal was finished
the boy's eyes were so heavily lidded
that, light as he would, they still per
sisted in drooping till the long lashes
curled over his checks. And in spite
of Caleb's remonstrances it was Sarah
who saw him upstairs and into the
huge guest room with its. four poster
and highboy and spindle backed chairs.

thousands of people have in Tanlac,

about by circumstances.
Most people judge Tanlac as a man

impression, but by what they have
actuaMiy seen it do. . x
Beyond the evidence of any one lo
cality stands tevs of thousands of peo
ple in all parts of America who arc
ready to vouch for Tanlac. These arc
people who are grateful for the relief
Tanlac h:ii given them in stomach,
kidney, liver and catorrhal ailments.
Tanlac's healing anil strength-giving
qualities are derived from roots,
herbs, flowers and berries, gathered
in many part;; of the v-orld.
Many say they actually have not
known what it was to eat with com
foit for years before they took Tan
lac. Others say it has restored their
nerves and brought them peaceful,
restful, healthy sleep. Still others
extol its merits as a blood purifier, a
lemedy for catarrh, and the many
ills which arise from a catorrhal con
dition of the mucus membranes.
