CHAPTER XX.
Thorn still remained the task cf
winning young Jab's asaent to his plan,
and Aoae Havey foresaw a stubborn
battle there. Jeb had been reading
law that winter; reading by the light
of a log Are through long and lonely
evenings In a smoke-darkened cabin.
When Anns Havey called from the
stile one night, the boy laid a battered
Blaokstone on his thin knee and called
out: "Come in, Anas, and pull up a
cheer!"
Anne had been rehearsing his argu?
ments as he rode through the sleet
lashed hills, and ha wag deeply trou?
bled.
The man and the hoy tat on either
side of the fireplace. Penetrating
gnats swept in at the broken chinking
and up through the warped floor until
oil Beardog, lying at their feet, shiv
dtps) jsa he idept with his forepaws
atretched on the hearth and the two
men hitched their chairs nearer to the
blase. By th?> bed still atood the rifle
that had been Platen's; the rifle upot
which the boy's eyes always fell and
which to him. wag the symbol of his
duty.
As Bad Anse Havey talked of the fu?
ture with aQ the InstlnotlTe forceful
ness that he could command, the boy's
set face relaxed, and Into his eyes
came a glint of eagerness, because he
himself was to play no small part In
these affairs.
Into his heart crept the first burning
of ambition, the first reaching out
after a career. He saw a future open
lag before him, and his grave eyes
were drinking In pictures in the lire
embers. I
Then, when ambition had been kin?
dled, the older man broached the topic
which was the crux of his plea.
"The man that can do things for the
mom- tains must be willin* to make a
heap of sacrifices, Jeb," he said.
Jeb laughed, looking about the hare
room of his cabin.
"Mek aacTinces? " he repeated. "I
hain't never knowed no thin' else but
that I reckon I hain't sheered of it"
"I didn't mean that way, Jeb." Anse
spoke slowly, holding the boy with his
eyes, and something of his meaning j
sunk In so that the lad's lean face
again hardened.
"Nothin* kaln't stand between me an'
what I've got ter do. Anse," he aaid
alowly. He did not apeak now with
wild passion, but calm finality. "I've
done took ther oath."
For a while Anse Havey did not re?
ply. At laat he said quietly: "I reckon
ye've got rid of the idea that I was
aimln' to deceive ye, Jeb. I told ye
that when Fletoh'a aaaaaaln came back
to the mountalne I'd let ye know. I'm
goln' to keep my word."
Jeb rose auddenly from hla chair
and stood with the fire lighting up hla
ragged trosaem and the frayed alecvea
of hla coat.
"Air he back now?" ho demanded.
Anae shook hla head.
"Not yet, Jeb; but he's coming." He
saw the twitch that went across the
tight-closed Upa which made no com
ment
"Job," he continued, "I want ye to
help me. I want ye to be big enough
to put by thlnga that It's hard to put
by
The boy shook hla head.
"Anae," he replied alowly, "ask mf
ter do anything elae In God Almighty'?
world, but don't, ask me thet, 'cause 11
ye does I've got. ter deny ye."
"I ain't as kin' ye to let the man gr
unpunished. I'm only aakln' you to let
me punlah him with the law."
Astonishment was writ large li
?very feature of Jeb'a face. He etoo<
in the wavering circle of light whlh
the ahadowa swallowed the corners oi
the fabln, and wondered If he had
heard lightly. At laat hla voice carrtec
I MntM iBi dljdPPoMmcnt, and he
?poke as though unwilling to utter
?uch treasonable words.
"I reckon. Anse," he suggested, "ye
wouldn't hardly hey asked a thing like
thet afore"?there was a hesitating
halt before he went on?"afore a fur
rln woman change 1 yore fashion of
lookln' at things."
Anse Havey felt his face redden,
and an angry retort rose to his lips.
But the charge was true.
He went on as though Jeh had not
spoken.
"All I ask is that when that man
comes ye'U hold your hand until the
cote has acted."
"Does ye reckon Milt McBrlar aims
ter let Sidering try kin of his?" was
the next Incredulous question.
Ahse Havey's voice broke out of its
quiet tones and his eyes woke to a Are
that was convincing. I
"By heavens, I aims ter have him
do it! I ain't askin' leave of Milt Mo
Briar." Then he added: "I aims to
hang the man that kilt your daddy In
the jail house yard at Peril, an' if the
McBrlars get him they've got to kill
me first. Will you hold your hand till
I'mthrough?"
- The boy stood there, his fingers
slowly clenching and opening. Finally
he said: "Hit ain't a-goin' ter satisfy
me ter penitentiary thet feller. He's
got ter die."
"He's goln' to die. If I fall, then?"
the clansman raised his hands in a ges?
ture of concession?"then he's yours.
Will you wait?"
j "I don't hardly believe," said Jeb
McNash with conviction, "any man Ur?
in' kin keep Milt's hired assassin In no
fail house long enough ter try an' hang
him. But I'm willing ter see. I'll hold
my hand thet long, Anse, but? "
Once more a spasmodic tautening of
muscles convulsed the boy's frame and
hit voice took on its excited note of
shrillness: "But I warns ye, I'm goln'
ter be settln' in ther high cote. I
hain't never a-goin' ter leave hit, an'
ef that Jury clars him?or ef they Jest
penitentiaries him?I'm goln' ter kill
him as he sets thar in his cheer?so
help me God!"
Loyal in their stubborn adherence to
fend obedience, the Judge and grand
Jury secretly returned two indictments
bearing the names of Luke Thixton as
principal and Milton McBrlar, Sr., as
accessory to the crime of murder
"against the peace and dignity of the
commonwealth of Kentucky, and con?
trary it) the statute in such case made
and provided." Also, they withheld
their action from publio announce?
ment
Surreptitiously and guardedly' a
message traveled up the watercourses
to the remotest Havey cabin. Bad
Anse bade his men be ready to rise
In Instant response to his call, and
they made ready to obey.
One day Juanlta Holland and Dawn
it opt for Lexington to do their
Christina* shopping.
Anse Havey rode wKh them across
to Peril and waved his hat in farewell
as1 they stood in the vestibule of the
rickety passenger coach. It was a very
shabby oar of worn and faded plush,
but to Dawn It seemed a fairy chariot
As they entered the lobby of the
Phoenix hotel, In Lexington, a tall
youth rose from a chair and came for?
ward. If the boy was oruder and dark?
er and less trim in appearance than
his Blue-Grass brethren, he carried his
head as high and walked as independ?
ently. 1 He came forward with his hat
in his hand and said: "I'm mighty glad
ter see ye, Dawn."
fene girl looked about the place, and
breathed rather than asked: "Isn't the
world wonderful, Milt?"
TWO day's followed through which
Dawn basked In transports of delight.
ThoVe were the undreamed sights of
J shop-windows decked for the holiday
season, and the crowds on the streets,
and the gayety and merriment of
Christmas everywhere. She had never
heard so ? much laughter before, and
she found It infectious, and laughed,
loo.
At last' she found herself again In a
faded plush car beside Juanlta, with
Young Milt sitting opposite. Old Milt
was on that train, too, but he paused
only to nod before disappearing into
the shabbier smoking compartment,
where he had business to discuss. A
man was waiting for him in there
whom old acquaintances might have
passed by without recognition. It was
the hope of Milt McBrlar that when
they left the train at Peril, any ac?
quaintances who might be about would
do Just this.
While the Christmas shoppers
' laughed in the day coach, Luke Thix?
ton received final instructions in the
empty smoker.
I He was to pass as swiftly and un?
obtrusively as possible through Peril
and go direct across the ridge.
He and Milt would leave the train
without conversation or anything to
mark them as companions. After that
Luke knew what he was to do, and no
further conference would be necessary.
It was noon when the train rumbled
again over the trestle near the town,
and all morning a steady, feathery
snow had been falling, veiling the
sights from the windows and wrapping
the mountains In a cloak of swan's
down.
At last the trucks screamed, the old
engine came puffing and wheezing to a
I tired halt, and the fwo girls, with
Toung Milt at their heels, made their
way out, burdened with parcels.
On the cinder platform Juanlta
I looked about for Anse Havey, and she
j saw him standing in a group with Jeb
and several other men whom she did
not know?but Anse's face was not
I turned toward her, and It did not weai
the look of expectancy that the thought
of her usually brought there. Job's
I countenance, too, was white and set
and a fcveathleas tensity seemed t(
hold the whole group In fixed taut
fletj,
an_ -
There were several clumps of men
standing about, all armed, and every
face wore the same expression ci wait* I
ing sternness.
A gasp of premonition rose to Jua
nita's lips as she caught the sinister
spirit of suspense in the atmosphere.
Then Milt McBriar stepped down from
the smoker vestibule, followed by an?
other man.
As the two turned in opposite direc?
tions on the snow-covered platform,
one of the men who bad been standing
with Bad Anse Havey laid a hand on
the shoulder of the clean-shaven ar?
rival and said in a clear voice: "Luke
Thixton, I want ye fer ther murder of
Fletch McNash."
Old Milt McBriar, for once startled
out of his case-hardened self-control,
wheeled and demanded angrily: "What
hell's trick is this?" His eyes were
blazing and his face worked with pas?
sionate funr.
"A deputy answered him: "An* Milt
McBriar, I wants you, too, on an in?
dictment fer accessory ter murder."
Juanita felt Dawn's spasmodic fin?
gers clutch her arm and her own knees
grow suddenly weak. She heard a clat?
ter of parcels aa Toung Milt dropped
them in the snow and leaped forward, j
hla eyes kindling and his right hand
frantically clawing at the buttons of j
overcoat and coat But before he
could draw, Jeb McNash had wheeled1
to face him, bending forward to a half
crouch. The younger McBriar halted
and bent back under the glint of the
revolver which Jeb was thrusting into
hla face. *; r
Haveys, armed and grim of visage,
now began drawing close about tbe
captives.
Dawn clung with bloodless lips and
white cheeks to Juanita as she watched
Jeb holding his weapon in the face of
the boy whom she suddenly realized
the loved more than her brother.
Then the sheriff spoke again.
"Thar hain't no use in makin' no
trouble, Milt Ther grand jury hes
done acted, an' I reckon ye'd better let
the law take its course."
"Why don't ye take me, too?" de?
manded Young Milt in a tense, passion?
ate voice. "I'm a McBriar. That's all
ye've got against any of these men."
"The grand Jury didn't Indict ye,
con/' responded the sheriff calmly.
Than the elder McBriar became sud?
denly quiet again and self-possessed.
He turned to his son. s \
"Milt," ho said, sternly, "you keep
outen Ulis. Ride over home an' tell
every man that calls hlsself a Mc?
Briar"?-his voice suddenly rose In the
defiant crescendo of a trapped lion?
"tell every man that calls hlsself a
McBriar thet ther Haveys hev got me
In ther damned jailhouse?an' ask em
ef they Alms ter let me lay thar."
Young Milt turned and went at a
run toward the livery stable. Over his
shoulder as he went he flung back at
Jeb, who stood looking after him with
lowered pistol: "I'm goin' now, but I'll
be back1 ter reckon with you!"
? And Job shouted, too: "Ye kain't
come back none too soon. Milt I'll be
hyar when ye comes."
Then the group started on their
tramp toward the courthouse and the
little Jail that lay at its side.
\ Juanita suddenly realized that she
and Dawn were standing as if rooted
to the spot The older girl heard an
inarticulate moan break from the lips
of thexyounger, and then, as though*
waking out of sleep, she looked ab?
sently down at a litter of beribboncd
parcels which lay about her feet. That
message which Old Milt had flung back
to his people on the lips of his son
would send tumbling to arms every*
man who could carry a rifle!
And the Haveys were grimly waiting
for them. The Haveys were already
there. The two girls could not ride
across the ridge now. They could only ;
sit in their room at the wretched ho?
tel and wait too.
Juanita was glad Dawn could cry-;
She couldn't She could only look
ahead and see a procession of hideous
possibilities.
It bad been a few minutes after
BOOB when Young Milt had rushed into
the livery stable and ordered his horse.
In that one instant all his college in?
fluences had dropped away from him,!
and he was following the fierce single
star of clan loyalty.
His father, who had never been any
man's captive, was back there in the
vermin-infested little Jailhouse, a pris?
oner to the Haveys. And when Young
Milt came back, '.he one Havey he had
marked for hia own was the Havey un?
do? whose pistol muzzle he had been
forced to give back?young Jeb Mc?
Nash.
The stroke had taken the McBnars
completely by surprise. The boy must
reach his own territory and rally them
to their fullest numbers, even from
the remotest coves. This battle was
to be fought in the enemy's own
stronghold and against a force which
was ready to the last note of pre?
paredness.
So nothing could happen until to?
morrow. Nothing would happen, in
all likelihood, until the day after that,
and meanwhile the two girls in the
hotel must sit there thinking.
The little town Itself lay dismal and
helpless, with its shacks scattered
over its broken and unoven levels.
Dawn, perhaps, found it hardest;
for in this one day Dawn had grown
up, and tomorrow would bring the boy
whom she now confessed to levin?',
though she confessed it with self-con
tempt, leading a force to meet that of
her own people, fighting to avenge her
father. Juanita, whose eyes could not
escape ironical reminders when she
glanced down at the Christmas pack
ages, seemed to hear over and over
the voice of Anse Havey saying: "I'm
doln' it because ye asks it."
IShe had sought to avert an assassi?
nation, and it seemed that the effort
would nrecipitate a holocaust.
Anse was very busy, but he found
time to come to her that afternoon.
In the hare little hotel lobby the fire?
light glinted on many rifles as their
owners lounged about the hearth.
And In Anse she saw once more the
stern side. His face was unsmiling,
and in his eyes was that expression
which made her realize how inflex?
ibly he would set about the accom?
plishment of the thing he had under?
taken. Then, as he spoke to her, a
sudden softness came into his eyes.
"God knows I'm sorry," he said,
"that this thing broke just now. 1
didn't aim that ye should be no eye?
witness."
Juanita smiled rather wanly. Old
Milt, he told her, would soon be re?
leased. "We ain't even goin' to keep
him in the jailhouse no longer than
mornin'. We couldn't convict him. an'
it would only bring on more trouble."
"Why was he arrested?" she asked
blankly.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
NO CLUE TO ROBBERS.
Men Made Safe Getaway After Rob
Inng Bank at Smoaks of $1,075.86.
Walterboro, Jan. 28.?Careful in?
vestigation by several officers today
in charge of Deputy Sheriff Lucas C.
Padgett has failed to reveal any clue
as to the identity of the robbers who
in open daylight yesterday succeeded
in getting away with a large sum of
money from the Smoak's Banking
company. The two robbers were not
seen to enter the town of Smoak dur?
ing the day at all and they made their
exit from the bank through a rear
window and from there to a nearby
swamp, whore it is thought they had
an automobile concealed.
Taking advantage of a rainy day,
when very few people would be using
the streets of the small town of
Smoak, the .two robbers entered the
bank as the cashier was in the act of
counting $1,000 to be sent here today
After drawing a gun on the cashier,
one of the robbers grappled with him
while the other struck him with some
instrument'' causing unconsciousness.
Ho was then sprayed with some kind
of drug and ~ handkerchief, the only
property left by the robbers, satu?
rated with the drug, was fastened
over the mouth and nose of Mr.
Thomas.
He owes his life to the fact that
the robbers failed to turn on the com?
bination to the vault lock. Had this
been done, searchers would in all
probability have thought that Mr.
Thomas had closed for the day and
left the bank. At any rate the only
other person in possession of the
combination was the president, Mr.
femeatkf, who'was at the time in Bam?
berg.
Mr, Thomas is at work again to?
day, little the worse for his nerve
racking experience. A careful check?
ing of the bank's books reveals the
exact amount of money secured to
be $1,976.86. The bank carried bur?
glary insurance in such an amount
as to be protected.
Mr. Thomas is positive in his identi?
fication of one of tlie robbers as the
man who .asked him to cash a $400
check from the Southern railway
about a week ago and it appears that
these were somewhere in the com?
munity of Smoak, waiting for a rainy
day as a cloak for their operations.
The officers are still hopeful of secur?
ing some results.
>?'?> one has been found who will
definitely identify the automobile as
a runabout or a touring car, and very
little of a definite nature can be se?
cured as to the route taken by tho
ear.
CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Manning, Jan. 30.?Jim Smith
was lodged in jail here last night

ing supper, aimed a gun through a
crack and shot her through the heart,
killing her instantly, (nie report is

shooting the woman the negro went
to his home and went to bed. Sheriff
(Iambic was notified and he at once
went down and arrested Smith and
brought him to jail. No statement Is
