After roild I UK it pver eurefully they nil agreed', with one n<.ni. that Ilu-ks Wits right In his view and Unit Stielten dud Melvln wore certainly one mid the sann1. ??Thal."

They all exchanged an Inquiring gin nee, but i.he spoke, li was evi dent that none of them hnd any very well defined i leas as t,i want would bo the proper eonrso for them to pursue. When the pnuse had begun to grow nwkwnrd. Jason Ihmert? broke it by remark inc. Irrelevantly: ?'Lord, jost io think of thai feller betn wanted for murder! Ain't it awful?" "'Tis so." Sam agreed. "Wonder who it was h<? murdered. Does that paper tell?" ??in' course it does," Jason replied. "Didn't you i ead it ?" ??Not nil of it. I didn't. I novor rertd lioth'.ii 'botlt that."

"Lord, Sam. l reckon It'd bo pulty hard to toll what made him do It. Mcb by they gol Into tl light an ,i st lit mi lit till ono killed thu other. I ruoss it was ihat a w ay or some other." "Must 'a' been. I bet lie jost got hhn down an stabbed hhn with a knife." "I guess that's jost 'hour what he done. Saht-?either that or else ho shot him or soinethln.

I'm awful glad 1 nln't never killed nobody, an you hot I ain't never n-goln to kill nobody nuther." Suddenly ami unexpectedly Pap Sampson brought his cane vigorously down on tho floor, can-;:!.:,' Sam anil Jason to jump and putting an end tn their conversation. Pap ami ft Ick* had been holding a consultation apart relative io Melvln and, having reached nn ngrcoment, word now- ready to take tho others Into their confidence. "You uns has said n-plonty 'hont them dead folks an hn'nts," Pop re marked, "socln'fl It ain't them things we uns air specially interested In jest now. So. If you uns please, w e'll talk 'bout that Mr. .Melvln." "Waal, if you got your mind made lip to anything, Tap Sampson, Jost apeak it out." Jason said. "I have got my mind made up to Bomethln, Jason Kol.oil. mo an Jako both has an it' you'll jost listen you can hear what it is." "I'm adlslcnin With all my ears." "Waal, mo an Jako has Ogrocd that the proper thin.; to do i < i<> arrest that feller at onco, an nccordln wo Dgger that Sam host jest gO over tllQr to Tumor's tomorry an tako him." Sam gave an uneasy glanco around. "Yes. host jest nail him while we can," Micks added. "Flo mought hau:,' round hero a long time yit, an he meuglll skin out tomorry; 110 tclllll." "Hut," Sai l remarked, ' you all ain't flggerln thai I ort to go over by myself to take that thar feller?" "Lord a-mnssy, Sam, you ain't a*gwine to he nfenrd of him, nro you?" Pap asked. "No o. I ain't nfenrd of him." Sain replied slov.lv, "but I 'low I'd rut her have BOinohody go 'long of mo. That man's killed one feller, an I have a no tion ho wouldn't hang hack much to drap another If he thought the eafety of bis neck demanded It." "Waal, you want to keep your eye pooled nn look out that ho don't git n cbanco to drap yon." "That's all right, 1'ap. hut you want to hear In mind that he'll ho ke< ,>in his eyes peeled too. Feller like that, all the time spectlU BOincthln t<? happen, nln't to he kotched SCttIn round nap pin. Not much he ain't." "Mebby that's all so, Sam, hut I want to toll you Unit if I could Je?t call back 'bout 20 years I wouldn't bo afcnrd to try to take him single hand ed an nlono. Ypu^ciyi J??J-J?ot your i bldo on that. Lord, I wouldn't bang back much to take my foot In my band :iu put out right over thnr after him i I now." "Mebby you wouldn't, Pan, but for nil that I'd a heap rut her have souie body 'long of mo." j j "Waal, have Homebody, then, Sam. I l reckon Jason eun go as well as not." "1 dunno." Jason replied hastily. "1 reckon I'm (join to havo a right smart to do toiuorry." ??[ wouldn't be surprised you'd have a right smart to <lo, Jason, If you go nfter that feller. Moro'u likely he'll manage to keep you uns busy for awhile." ? I ain't ufeard of that feller, an it ain't that makes me hold back, rap Sampson. Tbur'H n heap of things I'd laid off to do toniorry, an l can't tlgger out no way to Iix It BO'S 1 COU ?it to go." "Thai won't do, Jason; it won t nigh do. We all Know you ain't never so crowded with work as all that. Von jest p> 'long of Sum. now, an don't say nary 'nother word 'bout it. Nobody but a coward 'u'd refuse to go, an we all a now you nln't no coward." Alter a little humming and hawing I:isoii finally consented to go, ami it w.is arranged thai In- ami Sam should mm i in the store und still't from there. Neither of them was very enthusiastic over the undertaking, ami as they walked home thai night they both felt in their hearts that they would be glad if that circular hud never come. How over, they were in for it. and neither of them had a thought of backing out. So the next morning they were astir early, making preparations P< no. They knew Melvln made a practice of spend ing a good part of each day wander ing about the eouutry, and they want ed to get to Turner's before be loft. Hut In Sam's case there was an inter ruption that caused him a few min utes' delay. He was just in the act of mount im; Iiis horse to start when Sim Ranks walked up. "Howdy. Sim'.'" Sam said. "Howdy, Sum'.'" situ returned. "Fix In to go some place'.-" "Jest poln "in in the country a little piece, l ine moi'tlltl, ain't It?" "Yes. You in much of a hurry?" "Uigbi smart. Why'.'" "I Jest wanted to ask you somcthln." "Waal, 1 got time to listen. I guess. ! What Is if.-" Sim hesltnled for an instant. Then i be spoke slowly, his voice faltering I ami his eyes fixed eagerly on tho oth er's lace. I "1 b'llevc it's a lie," be began, "ever' I word of it a plumb p'lnt blank lie, but ? Mury Mann swears it's so, an she saya "Howdy, Shut'' Sam said. you'll say the same. She says you seen Loueesy meet that Melvln out In my timber." Sim paused und looked al Sam for a reply, bill the latter stood with his eyes fixed on the ground and remained sih nt. This was not a good sign, and Sim realized it. Trembling from bead to foot, be drew a little nearer to Sam and in a hoarse whisper said: "Tell me, Sam. is it so?" Sam looked slowly up and nfter an Instant's pause said heartily: "Curse Mary Mann!" "Yes, but tell me," Sim pleaded, "is It ?Q'r" Sam glanced uneasily around. "Sim," ho said, "I wish you wouldn't ask me that." Sim's whole form drooped as though a deadly blight bad passed over him. In heart wrung tones bo cried: "My Clod, Sam, you're klllln mo! Can't you tell me that It Is not so?" Sam slowly shook bis bead. "I'd givo the world, Sim," ho replied, "If I could, but thar'd be no use In tell in yoil a Ik'." "Then fill them words Mary Mann spoko are true?" "I don't know 'bout that. I don't know what words she spoke." "She said you seen Loueesy meet that man In the woods?" "Yes, that's true." "An ihni you beard her tell him she loved him?" "Yes. that's true, too," Sam admitted reluctantly. Then be added more hope fully, "Rut sho wouldn't let him tech her, Sim, nil she told him he must go 'way an that they mustn't never see cadi other no more." "Hill she loves him," Mm cried, "an (die told him so! Ob. my Lord!" "But she's true to you, Sim, for all of that. I'd sw'ar slio's tts ttue to yon as ever any woman was to her hus band." "I b'lleVO that." Sim replied, "an I'd kill any man I hat dared to say she I WU'n't. Yes, I.oi.sv'h true. No truer woman ever lived. Mut she loves that man. She"- - Sim's voice choked with emotion, and he could say no more. Sain came to !>lm and placed his hand on bis Shoul der. "Sim," be said kindly, ' you just be patient. Loueesy Is not to blame, for people ean't help their feellu's. Yon Jest wait, an that Melvln will soon be out of the way, an Loiiecsy's eyes'll be opened to somcthln she don't dl'COm of now. Then she'll see her mistake, an she'll turn to you. Just you be pa tient, an you'll see I'm right." In Uttering these words Sam Morgan proved himself more of a prophet than ho knew, and Him Ranks would have saved himself a world of suffering If ho had heeded them. "You mean well, Sam," Sim said, "but I know my duty. I see It all plain now, an IJH do IJ^ no matter what the, ?..st. i won't ket |i you no longer, Bam. ;.Iby." "(Juodby. Rim." -1 thank you, Sam. fur your kind ness." Sim uddcd. "I see bow you'vo Irlod t" span. an above ull bow you'v? ti i. d lo shield Loueesy. 1 won't uevor forglt It." it.- mriu'd and walked away. Sui i st.,..d still, looking after lilm, and pro.* eutly bo railed to blm. Sim stopped and turned bis bead wearily lU'OUUd. Sain said uneasily. "For Clod's sake. '.Min. don'i do notli In rash!'' ? I'll do my diuy.'' Sim rvplh d. Iiis duty what did that ineaiiV Sam Morgan thong' t of those words often in the long, weary days that followed. rilAPTBU XVI. A l JONATHAN TUIlNliU'fl. Jonatbail 'rurner and I is wife were hoeing in the garden. Jonathan, straightening up to rest his hack "a spell." saw I wo men approaching along the path Ihnl followed the field fence. lie watched lhem lor a tilth- while in silence, then exclaimed: "Waal, i ll be dad burned 1" Mrs. Turner looked up In surprise. "What's the mailer, Jonathan'/" she asked. ?Thai's I wo fellers acouiMi down I bar." hounsweied. "an I'll be switched if one of 'ein nln'i Sam Morgan!" Mrs. Turner :.i" ie and looked ids > "W aal. I'* say't!" she exclaim-. "Wonder what In tin* world them men me n-eoiniii y??re forV Ihn niehho they ain't a-eoniln yere. Mebby they'll jest a-pavsln." "They're ii-ooniln yere." Jonalban said empballeally "l.n! W! at you reckon they're a coin in for. i bell'/" "1 dutilio 'less Sam Morgan's ii-gwllie to gll me In sarvo on a .lory Humph' I bei that's Jest v bill he's up lo." "Lord. Jonathan, do y. u reckon koV" "Most know it Lord n-innssy. seems like it's gm round lo my turn -i lust to take a rise in lho world Yes. sir ee!

"I dui.no. jonatban, but it don't seem po-sihle no sich good fort Uli' as that can happen to us." Sam ai.(I Jason lode up to the yard fence and slopped. Turner, in a stale of wild excitement, hurried out to meet them. "Ilowdy. boys, howdy'.'"' lie called " 'Light an tie your critters An come In. How you both ti-cnmln mi'/" "Sorter llllddlitl." Sam replied "I low's, you an Aunt Tlldy a-inakui out?" "Ah. pearl us two yearlln crickets. Sam. Yes. sir cc! Jest as spry as a couple of grasshoppers. Say. I bet I know what fetched you over yere this mornln, Sam." "You reckon V" "Lord a-massy, yes." "What 7" "Why. you're jest gotn to up an take me, win ther or no, an haul uie off down lbar to the county seat to set on to a jury. Ain't that bo?" "Not this time, Mr. Turner." Jonathan's face fell. Sam's words were a cruel disappointment, a dlsap polntinent that can be fully appreciat ed by every one who has seen the fondest hope of bis life suddenly blot ted out. Sam saw the effect of Ids re ply nnd In on effort to cheer the old man said: "Your tlmc'll come ylt, Uncle Jona than. Yes, sir. Them fellers down thnr ain't goln to be able to git on 'thout you much longer, an 'bout the fust thing you know they'll be sendln up here after you. Lord, you'll lie thar Bettln on to a jury as big as you please 'fore we all know it." Though Turner felt bis disappoint ment keenly, he did not allow it to get the better of his curiosity. With a nigh of resignation he said: "Waal, trials an tribulations will Some to us all in this life, so thnr ain't no use a grlevln. Mut If you ain't come over yere to git mo to set on to a Jury I can't flgger out what j'ou did come for." "We came to > r. Melvill," Sam replied. All thoughts of the Jury ami the lost glory of "settIn on to" It passed from Turner like a Hash. "Lord a nutssy," be cried excitedly, "have you uns over I bar to Beckett's Mill gone an found out methln 'bout that roller?" "I ain't suhl notbin 'bout tindin out anything, have I?" Sam asked In turn. "No, but you have found out somo thln. You wouldn't be a-comln out yere to see him if you hadn't." "Oh, we have a little private busi ness with him, Is he at home?" "No, he ain't. What kind of private business can you have with that feller, Sam Morgan, I'd like to know?" "Notbin much pcrtlc'lnr, I reckon. Can you tell us w bar he Is?" "To be shore. Mut. my land, I can't figger out no way bow you'd come to have no business with him. Hecken It ain't notbin 'bout them minerals be says he's a-smellln round vere for, Is It?" "Not exactly." "I 'lowed shore it couldn't be, 'cause 3'ou all know thnr ain't enough min or a 1 In all this bbune section to make a breakfast for a ehlgger, an I know blame well t tin' feller ain't limit in for no mineral nohow. You no Jason know that as well as t do, don't you, Sam?" " 'fears like he'd kind of bo foolin 'way bin time." Sain replied cautiously. "Hut I reckon that's Ids own business, an long as he's sat Istled wo ain't no room to kick up no fuss. Hut you ain't told us nothlii 'bout whnr he Is." "That's so. I guess I ain't. I meant to, hut It plumb slipped my mind. Co'so If that feller wants to fool 'way his time inis in round In the ground It ain't none of our business, not If be Wears hlj nose plumb smack smooth Off UP t?> Iiis eyes ||t it. Iillt ilt tllO BtllUti time :i bodj has a right to think Jest what ho doggone pleases, uu in this yore case he's uot to think j-.'.C of two things." "What thhms is IhoUJ, Mr. Tui'UorV" '< "One o| tliom things is he's got to b'llevo that teller a mis'able dad burn i tool, which he ain't, an the Other of j them tilings Is he's got to b'llovo that I feller a mis'abl ? da?l burn raseal. Which I b'llvve he is. Hut what puz zles no1 is w hat In the nation you ean want of him." "Oli. it's in.thlu worth UlClltionlU." "Hain't, eh':" "Not particularly." "Then it don't uutko much difference whether you sou hhn or not, I reckon V" "Waal, yes, we'd sorter like to see hill). But it looks a right smart like we ain't u-goln to." "Why BOV" "'Cause it looks UlOUglltily like WO ain't n-goill to lind out w har he's at." "Lord a niassy, man, 1 can tell you that. Yes, bil'-ocl 1 can tell you that jest as slick as a button." "But you don't do it." "Sual.cs an caterpillars, ain't 1 a-goin to tell you7" "1 ?UIIIIO, I'm shore. Don't look much like you're a-goin t<?. though." "(Jront possums an persimmons, i never see nobody in sich a pet an a stew as people have got to he. Ain't nobody got time to do nothln no more, seems like.

"I'm not impudent, Uuelo Jonathan," Stun replied, "but 1 would kinder like to know ns seen as possible whar Mel Yin's at." "To be shore you would. StUU. Lord. I know that, it slan's to reason that when you've come all the way over yore to see 111 111 you'd waul Io kUOW whar to tlud him. That's nat'ral." "An you're a gotll to tell us. ain't you ?" "Why, Lord a-massy, Sam, to be shore I am. But, as 1 was a-snyln, I can't make out what's ever got IlltO folks. Now. thnr was that Melvlll. Fust time he come yore he got all in a sweat an a swivel 'cause 1 Qyid a word or two to him 'fore I asked illlll in the house. Then thnr was that other youug feller, that Walto. Beckon you uns ain't seed nothln of him over thnr'bout Beckett's Mill, have you?" "1 K'less not. Who is he'.'" "Lord n-inassy, l ain't never goin to tell you. lie was all in a sweat an a BWlvet, too. an ho wouldn't toll me nothln. 'ceptln that his name was Willte an ho was down yore look III round for mineral. Beckon if I'd ask people questions an pry into their busi ness I'd lind out more 'bout 'etil, but somehow that's soiuethln I can't do. You know thai, Sam. you nn Jason, too. jest as well as I do." "Shore," Sam replied. "But you know whar Melvln is, so yon can tell us 'bout that an jest let the other feller go." "Beckon that's 'bout all yon uns nie n-keoiin for anyhow-, ain't It?" "Yes, jest at present.'' "'Pears like you must he wantin to fcoo Melvln right smart had." "Are you goin to tell whar he's nt?" "Lord a-mnssy, ain't I told you over nn over 1 was? But to save my neck I can't make out what thnr can he so press!II for you uns to see him about. (Juess mebby, though, you think that ain't n blamed bit of my business." "Waal, mebby that's so." "Then why didn't you say so at fust? But you wont to know whar Melvln 1?. don't you ?" "Yes, that's what we want to kUOW." "Waal, in that case, I'll jest tell you. lie's over ucrost Coon linn." "< >\ er ucrost < 'oon Bun?" "Them the words I spoke." "Yes, hut svluir'bouts over thnr?" "Lord a nuissy, 1 don't know." "Bill you said you could tell us whar lie's a I." "W aal, hain't I':" "Lord, that ain't b Hin us nothln. lie mought be in a tbousnn' places over thnr." "(Juess that's so, but I ain't responsi ble for I hat. as 1 can sec." "An that's all you can tell us?" "Ever' speck. Say, Sam, reckon you ain't llggcrlu on tradln Melvln outeu Ids boss?" Sam turned about and started off. "(dine on, Jason," he said. "Thai's no use fuolln 'way no more time here." "Whar you goin?" Jason asked, turn lug about also. "0*i or uero.xl ('oon Una." "Won't be no use," Jason grumbled. "Mought as well hunt for a flea in a -10 acre corn Held ns to hunt for anybody over I har." Nevertheless they rode on until they Wore mar Hi Jenkins' place, and as they approached the house they saw old Hi sitting on the wood pile, with his head resting Oil his hands. "We'll jest ask old Hi if he's seed anything of Melvln round here," Sam said. "No use to do that," Jason replied. "Why?" "Great land. Sain, can't you see he's a-seltln thai- wnltlu for bis ogor to come onV Without another word they tinned and rode back toward Beckett's Mill. In the meantime Melvln had been at the Mill ami gollO llgnlll.
