He waited a moment, then said anxiously: ‘'Haven't you something to say. Adele? Perhaps I have misread you all along and really have no right to hope. Oh, that would he hard to hear!” “It is not that,” she said, her breast heaving suddenly. "It is not that.” “Hot that?” he repeated, his wonder ing eyes fixed on hers. Then she turned to him. “Ainu has told me of some of yonr talks to him about love, and”— “Oh. he has!” Miller laughed out un- eataly. "But surely you wouldn't hold aaf thing against me that I said before 1 met you in Atlanta and fell heels over head in love with you. Besides. I wae simply stretching my imagination to save him from making a serious mis take. But I know what it is to care for a girl now, and I have wanted to tell him so, but simply could not face him with my confession—when—when his own sister was in question.” “1 have tried to believe.” Adele hesi tatod. “that you had changed in your ideas of love since—since we learned to know each other, and 1 confess 1 succeeded to some extent, but there was one thing that simply sticks and refuses to be eradicated. It sticks more right now than ever. I mean this morn- log, since”— “Now you do surprise me,” declared Miller. “Please explain. Don't you see I’m simply dying with impatience?” “You pressed the point in one of those talks with brother,” said Adele quite firmly, "that it was impossible for two people of unequal fortune to be happy together, and”— “Now, you wouldn't surely hurl that rubbish at me," broke in Miller. “1 never would have dreamed of saying each a thing if 1 had not thought Alan was about to butt his head against a stone wall in the hostility of Colonel Barclay. If he had been fairly well off and sin* had been without money, I’d have said sail in and take her, but 1 knew what u mercenary old man Bar clay is, and I thought I could save the boy from a good many heartaches.” “That—even as you now put it— would be hard for a girl in my position to forget," Adele told him, "for if this enterprise fails today I shall—just think of it!—1 shall not only be penni less, but my father will owe you a large amount of money that he never will be able to pay. Oh, I could not bear to go to you under such circumstances! 1 have always wanted my independence, and this grates on my very soul.” Their eyes met in a long, steady stare. “Oh, you must—you really must not aee it that way,” floundered the young man. "You will make me very miser able. 1 can’t live without you, Adele. Besides, I shall not lose by the loan 1 made to your father. The land will bring the money back sooner or later, and what will it matter? You will bo my wife, and your parents will bo my parents. Already I love them as my own. Oh, darling, don’t turn me down this way! Really I can’t help the turn matters have taken, and if you care for me you ought not to wreck our happi ness for a silly whim like this.” She sat unmoved for a moment, avoiding the fervid glow of his passion filled eyes. “If this thing fails I shall be very un happy,” she finally said. “Its success would not make me rich, but it would remove u debt that has nearly killed me. 1 have never mentioned it, but it has been like a sword hanging over my happiness.” “Then it shall not fail,” he told her. “It shall not fall! If those blockheads vote against it, I’ll buy the right of way if it takes the last cent I’ve got.’’ This forced a smile to Adele’s lips. "Then we’d be as deep in the mud as we now are in the mire,” she said. Just then Pole Baker came to Miller. “I don’t want to make no break,” lie said, “but I’ve got a idea I’d like to work on them bill Billies in the Jury room if you hain’t no objeetions. 1 haln’t got time to tell you about it, but as you are a-runulu’ the shebang I thought I’d ax permission.” “Go and do what you think best. J^ole.” said Miller recklessly. “We con trust to your beau, and anything is better than nothing just now. I really think it’s gone by the board.” “All right, 1 hunky'.” said Pole as he shuilled away. He marched straight to the Jury room and without rapping opened the door and went in, closing the door after him. He found the men all discussing the matter and was de lighted to find that tin* strength of the opposition now rested chiefly in Bartell and a few men who seemed afraid to pull away from him. Pole slid up to Bartell and said as he drew him to one side, “Say, Mr. Bartell, what on earth have you got agin Alan Bishop?” “Why, nothin’, Pole, ns I know of,” said Bartell rather sheepishly. “Nothin’ ag l know of.” “Well, it looks to me like you got a mighty pore way o’ showin’ good will. Why, he’s the best friend you got. Mr. Bartell, an’ totes more votes in his vest pocket fer you than any man in this county.” “Huh! You don’t say!” grunted Bar tell In slow surprise. “Well, he never told me about It.” “Beca’se you hain't announced yore se f yet,” said Pole, with a steady eye and a set face. "Why, he said t’other day to several of us at tin* log roilin' yon remem tier you rid by on yore bay, leadin’ a milk cow by a rope. Well, after you passed Alan Bishop said: ‘Boys, tliar goes the only ^tn in this county that has convictions an' the courage to stand by ’em. They say he's goin’ to run fer the legislatin ', an' cf lie A 71 / K Dolly slopped belore Alan. does I’ll do all 1 kin to elect ’im. He'll make the best representative that we ever had. He’s got brains, he has.’ ” “You don’t say!” Bartell's face beamed, his eye kindled and flashed. “That’s jest what!” “I hadn't the least idea he was fer me.” said Bartell, drawing a deep breath. “In fact, 1 'lowed he would be agin anybody but a town man." “Alan never talks much.” said Pole in a tone of conviction; "he acts when the time comes fer it. But. la me, Mr. Bartell, this is a-goiu’ to break him all to pieces. He's in love with old Bar clay’s gal, an’ she is with him. Ef hi* puts this road through today he’ll git his daddy out o’ debt an’ Barclay will withdraw his opposition. I don’t know how you feel, but I’d hate like smoke to bu'st a man all to flinders that thought as much o’ me us Alan does o’ you.” “1 never kuowed he was fer me,” was Bartell’s next tottering step in the right direction. “Well, vote fer the right o’ way, an’ you kin ride to an’ from Atlanta durin’ session all rail. Me an’ Alan will pull fer you like a yoke o’ steers—me with the moonshiners, an’ my mountain clan that ain’t dead yet, an’ him with his gang. What you say? Put up or shet up.” “I’ll do what I kin,” said Bartell, a new light on his face as he turned to the others. “Gentlemen,” he began, “listen to me a minute. I see a good many of you was affected by Ab Dan iel's speech an’ sort o’ want the road anyway, so of”— “I don’t exactly like them specks,” broke in a fat, middle aged man at a window. "By gum! I believe old Ab had us down about right Ef we kin git sort o’ opened up along with the rest o’ creation, I say le’s git in the game. Huh!”—the man finished, with a laugh ing shrug—“I don’t like them flyspecks one bit.” “Me uuther,” said a man beside him. “Nur me!” came from some one else. “Well, I’m willin’ ef the rest are,” an nounced Bartell. “All in favor hold up yore hands.” Pole Baker grinned broadly as he counted them. “All up—the last one,” he said, then he sprang for the door ami stood before the expectant audience. “Toot, toot!’’ be cried, imitating Urn whistle of a locomotive. “All aboard! The road's a settled thing They say they don’t want no speck', and they ain't a goin' to have ’em Hooray!” The audience was electrified by the announcement. For an instant there was a pause of incredulous astonish meat, and then the floor resounded rom the clatter of feet, and glad shouts tilled the air. Alan, his face a I laze with startled triumph, came toward Adele and Mil ler. “Pole worked the rabbit foot on them back there,” lie said. “I don’t know what lie did, but lie did some thing.” “He told me he had a card left,” laughed Miller. “I'll bet he had it up his sleeve. There he is now. Oh, Pole come here!” The man thus cidressed slouched down the aisle to them. Ins big brown eyes flashim; merrily und“r his heavy brows, his sun browned face dark with the flush of triumph. “Ef you don’t back me in it, I'm a gone dog,” said Pole to Alan. “All l want you to do is to vote for Bartell ef you kin possibly swallow the dose.” A light broke on the two men. “I’ll do It If you say so, Pole,” said Alan "Not only that;Tmt I’ll work for him it ! you wish it.” Pole looked down and pulled at his heavy mustache. “Well.” he smiled, “I reckon he won't harm us any more In the legislatur' ; than the road ’ll do us good, so you’d better support ’im. I seed the bars j down a minute ago, an’ I didn’t have no time to consult you. I’d ’a’ told a bigger lie 'au that to clinch this thing.” Aimer Daniel joined them, smiling broadly. Ids eyes twinkling joyously. The old jester stroked his face and swung his long body back and forth in the wind <>f ids content. “I’ve always argued,” said he. “that what is to be will be, an' it will be u sight sooner 'n most of us count on ef we’ll jest keep | our sperits up." The others moved on. leaving Adele ami Miller together. "Oh. just look at mamma and papa,” , she said in the round, full voice indica tive of deep emotion. “They are so glad they are about to cry.” What a dear, dear girl you are!" said Miller softly. "There is nothing to separate us now, is there?” For a moment they met in a full look into each other's eyes. Adele’s voice shook when she replied, “I believe I’m the happiest, proudest girl in all the world." "Then you love me?” “I believe I've loved you from the very minute 1 met you in Atlanta last summer.” Alan saw Dolly looking at him and waving her handkerchief, her face warm and flushed, lie was tempted to go to her, but she still sat by her father and mother, and that fact checked him. Mrs. Barclay caught his eye and, ris ing suddenly, came through the crowd to him. She extended her gloved hand. “You and Dolly must stop your fool ishness,” she said. “I’ve been thinking of a plan to help you two out. If I were you I wouldn't say a word to her now, but next Sunday night come and take her to church just like you used to. I'll attend to Colonel Barclay. He is just tickled to death over this thing, and he won't make any fuss. He is as stubborn us a mule, though, and when he has to give in it's better not to let him think you are gloating over him. He won’t bother you any more. I'll see to that." Alan thanked her. lie was so full of happiness that he was afraid to trust his voice to utterance. As Mrs. Bar clay was going back to her husband and daughter Pole Baker passed. Alan grasped him by the hand. “Say, Pole,” he said, his voice full and quavering, "1 want to tell you that 1 think more of you than I do of any man alive.” “Well, Alan,” said Pole awkwardly, yet with an eye that did not waver, “I kin shore return the compliment. Ef it hadn't been fer you an’ yore advice, I'd ’a’ been in hell long ago, an’ as it is 1 feel more like livin’ a straight, honest life than ever 1 did. You never axed me but one thing that 1 didn’t grant, an’ that was to give up whisky. I don’t know whether I ever will be able to do it or not, but by the great God above* I’m goin’ to keep on tryin’, fer I know you want it jest fer my good. I don’t want a dram today, fer a wonder, an’ maybe in time I’ll git over my thirst.” As Alan was about :o get'into his buggy with his uncle, the colonel and his wife and daughter passed. With a sheepish look on his face the old man bowed to the two men, but Doll\ stopped before Alan and held out her hand. “You were going away without even speaking to me,” she said, a catch in her voice. "Think of it, today of all days to be treated like that!” “But your mother told me”— "Didn’t I tell you she couldn’t be re lied on?” broke in Dolly, with a smile. “I have more influence with papa than she has. I know what she told you. 1 made her confess it Just now. Are you going to town today?” “Yes," he Informed her; “we shall complete the arrangements there.” “Then come right down to see me as soon as you possibly can,” Dolly said. “I’m dying to see you, to talk with you. Oh, Alan, I’m so-so happy!” “So urn I,” he told her as he pressed her hand tenderly. “Then I shall sec you again today." “Yes, today sure,” she said, and she moved on. “She’s all right,” said Abner Daniel ; as Alan climbed in the buggy beside him. “She’s all wool an’ a yard wide." "I reckon you are satisfied with the ' way It come out. Uncle Ab,” said his nephew, flushing over the compliment to Dolly. “Jest want one thing more.” said the old man, “an’ I can’t make out whether it’s a sin or not. I want to face Per kins an’ Abe Tompkins. I’d give my rigid arm to meet ’em an’ watch the’r faces when they heer about the rail road an’ the price yore pa’s land fetched.” THE END.
