But none of tbo farmers on the out lyLair roari. had seeu pass their Avar a little foot traveler such as he de scribed, and after a time even that f inal! hope died. When Iexter Allison came over the next day, his lace far more perturbed than Caleb had ever before seen it by the news which Barbara in tears had carried to him. together the. two men searched for Steve, driving in silence ilirough the country until they both realized that the search was useless. And at last, one day;- in early fall. Caleb .started alone upon his errand f!it that stretch of timber to the north which the boy himself had vaguely designated as "up river." lie spent a week in the saddle before lie located the cabin of the Jenkinses in an isqlatod clearin?; upon the main j brauch of the river. And even then. when he did locate the Jenkinses, it took hours of quiet argument before Caleb could convince those .shy and Fiispicious people that his errand was nn honest one. Eventually they did come to believe him. They led him afoot another half mile up the timber fringed stream to a log cabin set back In the balsams upon a needle carpeted knoll. And they stood and .stared in stolid wonder at this portly man in riding breeches and leather puttees when he tin:il!y emerged from that Muall shack, Old Tom's tin box under his arm. and with Hps working strange ly pinned the door shut behind him. Caleb left in the limp fingers of the head1 of the Jenkins' household a yel low tinted note of a denomination which they had not even known exist ed, lie left them half doubting its genuineness until later when there came an opportunity to spend it. And Sarah was waiting at the door of the white place on the hill when Caleb wheeled into the. yard at dusk two days later. '"You've found him:" she exclaimed as she glimpsed bis face when he en tered the hall. Caleb shook his head, his heart ach ing at the hunger in her question. "So, I haven't found him, Sarah," he said gently enough. "But I I've found out who lie is." They forgot their supper that night. With heads close together they hung for hours over tiie ink smeared sheaf of papers which the tin box yielded up. Most of thorn were covered with a cramped and misspelled handwriting which they knew must be that of the one whom Steve had called "Old Turn." Some of them were hard to decipher, but their import was very, very clear. There was one picture, a miniature of a girl, eager of face and wavy of hair. Her relationship to the boy was unmistakable. Sarah found th; t and wept over it silently, and while she wept Caleb sifted out the remaining loose sheets. "It's not hard to understand now. is it;'' he said. "It's pretty plain now why he had to 0. And we, Sarah we who were going to 'make something of him" why, we should have known absolutely without this evidence. They laughed at him, they made fun of him, and there isn't any better blood than Hows in that boy's veins! He was Stephen O'ilara's son, and no more brilliant barrister than O'Mara ever addressed a jury of a prisoner's peers and and broke their very hearts with the simplicity of his pleading." v Sarah folded her thin hands over the woman's picture. "I like his mother's face," she mur mured faintly. "And I'm jealous of her, Cal! You don't have to remind me of the rest of it, either, for I re call it all. She died and he lie went all to pieces. They said at his death that he was destitute. And when he did follow her across they hunted everywhere, didn't they, and never f und the boy? Didn't some of the newspapers argue that a servant a urdencr had stolen him?" Caleb nodded his head. ".Most of them ridiculed the sugges tion, but it was true, just the same. That servant; wa3 Old Tom. And the only defense he makes is just one line or so in in this." Caleb dropped a hand uion the half legible pages. "He says that he wasn't going to let civili zation make of the boy's life the wreck which he, poor, queer, honest soul, thought it had made of his father's. And do you know, Sarah, do you know, I can't help but believe that this over zealous thing which the law would have prosecuted was the best thing he could have done? I'll take these things new and lock them in the safe for the bey until he comes back home!" But Sarah Hunter kept the picture of Stephen O'Mara's mother separate from the rt; she took it. upstairs with her when she went, white and tired faced, to bed. And it was Sarah's faith which outlasted the years which followed. She never weakened in her belief that some dav the bov weuld come back she and one other whose faith in his last boyish promise, phras ed iu bitterness, also endured. For during the next five years there was not a summer which brought Allison into the hills but what the tirst ques tion of his daughter Barbara, mother less now herself, was of Steve. "Has has Stephen come back?" she asked invariably. At first the query was marked by nothing more than a child's naive ea gerness, and later, when it was brought up in a casual, by the way fashion, it was nevertheless, tinged with hope. Five years lengthened into ten. and ctill Steve did not come. But when ever Barbara asked that question Ca leb remembered, as though it had hap pened only yesterday, that morning when she tirst appeared to the boy. Then came a morning when Stephen O'Mara did return. All winter and throughout the summer, too, the Hun ter place had been closed until that dav iu late Octoln-r. It had been a warm week a week of such unseason- able humiditv for the hills that Caleb. rising somewhat before his usual hour, had blamed Ik sleeplessness, as usual, upon the weather. He was glad to b home again that morning. Caleb was wondering if Barbara would be with her father on this trip. Barbara had, he knew, been two years on the conti nent, "finishing." Allison called it. al ways with a wry face and a gesture toward his wallet pocket. He was wondering as he came dovVn the stairs if she would ask him again if if and then at the sight of a seated figure outside on the top step of tbo veranda he pulled tip sharp in the doorway. Caleb didn't have to wonder any longer. The attitude of that figure before him was so like the picture which time had been unable to erase, so absolute ly identical in everything save garb and size alone, that the man. recoiling a little, dragged one haul across his forehead ns though he doubted his own' eyes. But when he looked again it was still there, sitting chin in pair.?, small head under a rather weather beaten felt hat thrust slightly forward, gazing fixedly toward the stucco house beyond the shrubbery. And before Caleb could move, lie fore he was more than half aware of the painful pulse in his throat, it all happened a.ain just as it had happened ycar.j and years before. Caleb heard voices in the adjoining grounds, and as he half turned in that direction Allison's bulky form, vivid in a far more vivid plaid, appeared in the hedge gap. While Caleb stared anoth er iigure flashed through ahead of him. laughter upon her lips, and paused a-tip-toe to wave a hand in greeting. And instantly, as they had ten years before, Barbara Allison's eyes swung in instant scrutiny of the one who was seated at Caleb's feet. She hesitated and recovered herself. But when with quite dignified deliberation she finally came forward to pass that motionless figure upon the steps every pulse in her body was beating consciousness of his nearness. And yet at that when she paused at Caleb'vs side and bobbed her head with a characteristic impet uosity which she had never lost sip? seemed completely oblivious to the presence of any one save Caleb and herself. "Good morning, Uncle Cal," she mur mured very demurely. Then the man upon the steps moved. He rose and turned and swept ins rather weathcr beaten hat from his head, nis hair was still wavy, still chestnut in the shadows. And Caleb, though he could not force a word from his tightened throat, marveled how tall the lKy had grown how paradoxically broad of shoulder and slender of body he seemed to be. Pester Allison, coming up less airily across the lawn, surprised his daugh ter poised with one hand outstretched, red lips half open. lie found her star ing, velvet eyed and pink of face, at a tall figure in blue flannel , and, cordu roy, and, although he had never seen him in all the months that the latter had been in his employ, Allison knew this must be the one in whose keeping lay, directly or indirectly, the success or failure of the biggest thing he had ever attempted in this north country the man to whom he always referrel, whenever he boasted of his exploits, as "my man O'Mara." "I always told them that you would roine bavk." she murmured then. "Just Is you you said you would." The remark was barely loud enough for even Steve to hear, but hard upon its utterance she caught her breath iu linger at herself for her own senseless confusion, which had led her into saj--ing the one thing she least of all had wanted to voice, liven an inane re mark concerning the weather would have been better than tli?t girlish uaivete which she felt seemed to force Upon him. too, a recollection of the very letter of a promise which had, no doubt, long since become in hi3 mind nothing but a quaint episode not un titled with absurdity. "Hum-m-m'." puffed Aiiison. "Ilum- m-m!" He fpoke directly to Stephen O'Mara, who half turned Li head at the first heavily facetious t-yl'table. "So. you did get my message, eh? I rather thought that it wouldn't ro;;eh you up river until today." An ample smile embraced the tail figure iu riverman's garb and his own daughter's crimson countenance a iuo.t meaningful smile of roguery. "Well, from what I've heard," he state 1. "and what I've seen, I should say that you are my man O'Mara. Mr. Elliott himself has informed me that your quite spectacu lar success in one or two vital cam paign has been enthvly i'.J to the fact that you are an or c i;.:rtunist! I agree with Mr. Elliott absolutely that is, if my titst piemise is correct." Barbara's face had cooled a little in that moment siino Steve's eyfs hail left her lace. Mow siie forgot her confusion-forgot to be a;noycd, even at her fat Iter's clumsy banter. "Your man, 'O'Mara!" she exclaimed indignantly. "Your man.! Why, he he's my" And that was as far ha she went. Her voice thinned into nothingness, but words were not necessary to tell cither i'aleb or Sieve that she had been about, to asset t a prior claim wiil: Ii dated back years and years. "I have always insisted to Mr. El liott." Steve said, "that the solution of mm V Of i. "I always told them that you wculd ccwa back," she murmured. all the uiui.uliies, which he chooses to view as gloriously romantic tilts with Destiny, depends one half upon luck and the other half on being on the ground personally when the affair starts." He half faced toward Allison. "I am O'Mara." ho finished very brief ly; "your man. O'Mara if you happen to be the East Coast Development and Timber company." There was at most no more than the barest suggestion of it in Sieve's crisp question, but Caleb sensed immediate ly that Allison's pla.id appropriation of the blue flannel shirt e;i one as his own particular property was not a mu tually accepted status. Dexter, how ever, failed or chose to read nothing in the drawling question. "I'm it." he agreed jovially "that is, I and two or three others, including Mr. Elliott, our esteemed president. I've heard much of you. Mr. O'Mara. I've looked forward to this meetinvr." lie added ns he shook hands. "Now I want to tell yo'i that I inn proud to know von. And so you didn't get my message, after all?" "I had to come down river yester day," trre explained. "Your U legram found me here, and I waited over un til this morning, as you suggested." "Surely surely I I see I see!" Al lison emphasized his comprehension. "Not that it was anything of vital im portance. I just wanted a short con ference with you. that was all." "Would you would you mind finding Miss Sarah, Steve?" Caleb asked. "Will you tell her, please, that we arc to be subjected to another neighborly imposition?" Allison shook his head and led the way to a chair. "I didn't know that you were acquainted with him, Cal. nave you known him long?" "Um-m-m yes!" Caleb weighed his reply. "Quite some time, I think I might say." He shook with scarcely suppressed laughter, but Allison ignored his sense less mirth. "I'd like to claim that boy as my own discovery," ho avowed, "but I can't, not without fear of successful contradiction on Elliott's part- And fn point of service it.isat fair to call him a loy. either, though I suppose both of v.s are old enough to be his father. He's Elliott's find. Elliott suggested him as the one man for this; job when I consolidated with the Ainneslej crowd and they took up the. contract to move the reserve timber from Thir ty Mile and tbo valleys above. Elliott knew of him, but I've been looking up his record pretty closely since he took hold in earnest. "He's in his twenties, as near as I can make out, but he's come through on one of two jobs that might well make an old campaigner envious. He took a "fortune in hard woods out of San Domingo for a Berlin concern; he was the only in an on the St. Sebastian river job who said the construction was too light. Ho said it wouldn't stand when the ice began to move in :1he spring, and it didn't! Oh. he knows 'his business! But it wasn't his suc cesses which caught Elliott's eye. It's ! the way he has failed a couple of times, m ! I 'f-hzr,-'v f ' 'til fight ins i'int bac k to the last ditch, and righting and fighting, when all the rest had quit, that made me anxious to get a look at him. Perhaps there are older men who ean outfigure him on loads and stresses, but as a fiel i general he stands alone. He can han dle men. And when it comes to meet ing conditions just as they arise El liott says he's a wonder. He ean out guess dear old Mother Nature herself. " "That's why the East Coast company brought him' up here to build its bit of road." he went on slowly. "They've get to move that Reserve company tim ber. They have a contract that'll break cm break us if-we fall down. And do you know. Cal. I-I can't help but believe that the thing is beyond the pale of possibility. I believed it six months ago, when Elliott and Ainnes ley and the rest of them were so keen for it, and I believe it still, even though I have seen Elliott's en-ineer and know what he has already accomplish ed. That track'll never go through on schedule and that's why I'm up here for the winter. It's going to be a hot little race against time, with some mil lions for a purse. It'll break the East Coast company if he fails, and" his voice became oddly intense "and I tell you again that it can't be lone!" Allison lay back in his chair and i treat bed deeply, slowly, and Miss Sa rah appeared that moment in the door way, pinker of cheek and more tremu lous of lip than her brother had ever seen her before. She dropped Allison an old fashioned courtesy, which was an exceedingly frivolous pcifoimance lor Sarah. "Breakfast is served, Cal," she fairly chortled, "and there are two very hun civ children inside." (To Be Continued. CREAM, 3 5c, at Dawson's store, Plattsmouth.
