wSi& CHAPTER VI. Back Home. Every mother's son of the feudist* was numbered In the party that tiled across David Moreiand's mountain to Intercept the next south-bound truln. The old enmity was for the time being forgotten. Members of one cluu rubbed elbows with members o? the other clan, and thought nothing of it. John Moreland himself carried one end of the crude litter that held the limp form of Babe Llttleford; Bill Dale carried the other end. Close behind the litter walked Babe's father, seeming old and broken with remorse for the thing he had done. The grief of Ben Llttleford was touching now, and Dale was a little sorry that he had spoken so bitterly to him. They reached the Halfway switch ten minutes before the arrival of the fast mall. A short passenger train was on the long siding, waiting for the south bound to puss. Dale enve his end of the litter to Caleb Alorelaud, and strode up to the locomotive. The engineer sat quietly smoking in his cab. Dale wanted the fast tnall stopped, and gave his reasons. The engineer smoked and considered. It was against rules. Dale swore at rules. The engineer said ho would see the conductor. He did, and the conductor stepped to l he grouad and began to consider. "Better put her on my train," he said finally, "and take her to Barton's station. There's a good doctor at Barton's?" "But this is a case for a surgeon!" Impatiently Interrupted Bill Dale. They disagreed. The old trainman was a close friend of the doctor at Barton's station. What was the difference between a doctor and a surgeon, anyway? Dale became angry. "You'll stop the fast mall for us," he snapped, "or we'll take your d?d red flag and hold her up long enough to put the girl aboard, and you've got only half a secotuf to decide which!" The conductor was obdurate. The mountain men were too hot-beaded to bear with him longer. The positions of a dozen rifles underwent n amnion change. The conductor Immediately went pale and mentioned the law? but he agreed to stop the southbound. As he ordered his tlngman up the tracks, the sound of tho fust train's whistle came to their ears. The flier came to a screeching halt with sparks streaming from Its wheels. BUI Dale and John Moreland passed the litter and Its burden Into the baggage car and followed It hnstjjv and Ben Llttleford climbed In after them. John Moreland leaned out of the doorway and ordered his son Luke to pass him his rifle, and Luke obeyed promptly. There was a shriek from the whistle, and the brakes were re I ease* 1; the truin began to gather momentum. A baggugeniun approached John .Moreland and asked why the rllle. Moreland half closed one keen grey eye and patted the walnut stock of Ids ^ rei>eater. r "Oh, 1 Jest brought It along to see at everybody has a straight deal," he drawled?"go on about yore bhslueay, mister." The baggageman went about hit! business. The conductor af the fast train was very unlike the conductor of the northbound. When he hau learned .some thing of the circumstances, he Insinuated that Dale hud done exactly the right thing, lie would see whether there was a doctor aboard. Within tive more minutes he returned in company with an elderly man wearing a pointed beard and nose glasses. "Doctor McKenzle," he said politely ; -"Mr. " ."Dale.* The two r.oddcd, and the phy??elnn knelt beside the litter, which had beea placed with Its ends on boxes to allow the center to swing tree. He made as thorough an examination as was possible tinder the conditions, then arose and stood looking down upon the young woman with something like admiration In his sober, professional eyes. "I'erfect physique," he snld as though to himself. . , . "She will ha\e to undergo an operation," he told Dale. "The bone there Is broken In slightly, muklng a compression; she will doubtless be unconscious until the pressure is relieved.. But she has tine chances for a quick and entire recovery, with a good surgeon on the Job, so there's uot much ground for worry." Dale was glad. They were all glad. Ben Llttleford laughed nervously In his sudden Joy. He went down to his knees beside his daughter, took up one of her limp hands and stroked It In a way that wus pitiful. When he arose he spoke cordially to Moreland. But Moreland didn't reply. He still looked upon Ills old enemy with contempt. Doctor McKemtle was leaving the train at the next town or Importance, and lie would wire Doctor Braetner to meet tbeto with an ambulance, if Dale wished. "if you please," skid. Dale. Thqy reached the city shortly before midnight, and were promptly met by the surgeon. Braemer took charge of tiie patient, put her Into his anibu. lance, and hurried her to Ins private * hospital. Bill Dale and the two cluu chlefu followed in an autoinoDlle. The hlllin4n;ttad never before seen au au ' 1-1 * / # ' I ycMm Bap*hurgTLiefoe ?

Everything had been uiade ready for the fiperatlon, and Uahe received'sfti*gicnl atil without delay. The two mountaineers and Dirle i waited in another room. Dale had induced John Moreland to unload his rltle, hotli ehumher and magazine. Ihihe's father paced the tloor anxiously now and then. Moreiaud sat like a stone, with his empty rille between his knees, and watched ins old enemy cpteerly. it seemed a long time before llrao mer came to tlieib and told theth snhlIngly that it was all over and that ttie girl was then coming from under ti e effects of the ether. She would la* all right soon, lie was reasonably certain. No. they'd better not see her ju a tin n. liut perhaps they could see. hc'r at some time during the afternoon of the following day. Dale escorted his two companions to a modest hotel and then put them tn a room that had hut one bed; by thus throwing them together in a strange land, lie hoped to do soni"thing toward making them' friends. Then Dale went to another room, undressed and went to tied. -ft may he noted, parenthetically as it were, that John .Moreiaud and lien Llttleford quickly reached a wordless agreement not to sleep together?they divided the pillows and linens evenly, lore the odd coverlet exntTly In halt, and s^ept on the Itoor.

And I am of the opinion that the girl wouldn't like the publicity. Suppose you forget all about It, Bobby. If McLaurlu was disappointed, he kept It well to himself. "They said she was handsome, a sort of primitive Venus," he winked. "Is there a romance connected, Bill?" "Not yet," smiled Dale. "But soon?" "Who can tell?" Dale shrugged a IflttlA M?1VII - ?? icii ??ic uie nvnSi "All right." McLaurin drew his friend toward a pulr of empty chairs. "1 married 1'airlcla Clnverlng I he duy beTore yesterday. We?" "Bully 1 Go on." "We were married In an automobile, with her father and "poor dear Harry" chasing us like wildtlre In another car.

"And I'm Informing you now, old savage," he continued, "that you're having dinner with us this evening. You'll timl It pleasant.

"That's It?take me up for Pat's Fike," said Dale, rising. "You'd be 1 ollsh if you didn't. You should be ^ lllng to do anything, almost, for Put. 1 lie's a jewel, Bobby." Half an hour Inter they caught a j j issing car that soon carried them to a palace of granite and stone and 1 < cam-colored brick?the home of the < d coal king, John K. Dale.. At the wide front gateway young I I lie drew back. "Bring father out here," he said In i low voice. "From what you told uie, J trucss mother wouldn't want me to < me in. But you can tind out about tiiat?" I lie hoped his mother would want to see hlin. While she had never seemed to care for blip as other mothers cared for their boys; while she hadn't been unite so dear to him as she might have been? "And If she wents to see me, Bobby, let me know." | Mel.anrin smiled a somewhat worried siuile, and went up to the front <1 ior. A moment later he was shown In. Yet another moment, and John K. Dale, Ills llorid face beaming with gladness, hastened out to the gateway. Young Dale was instantly touched by 1 his father's new attitude toward lilm; then be remembered the long night of David .Moroland's people, and he stlf- i fened a little and drew back a pace. ! "You've come home to stay, haven't you. Curlylc?" said the older man, and i his voice was tilled with pleading. "What you did is all right; we'll never | mention it again. You'll stay, won't j you, C'nrlyle, my boy?" "So," answered the son, a tritlc cold- ' l.v In spite of himself. "I've spent all ' the idle, useless years I'll ever spend. I'm getting ready to develop the coal In David Morelnnd's mountain." "David?Morelnnd's?mountain J" The retired coal magnate breathed the three words In a husky tone. He put forth a hand and rested It against I one of the huge stone gateposts, as though to steady himself, and some of the color went frotu his face. "foil say David Morelnnd's mountain, t'arlyle?" Jerkily. "Yes." "And you?you learned about David Mori land?" "\es." ltlll Dale folded his anus and stood there looking at his father with eyes that accused. "You know who killed him?" old Dele muttered. "I do, and It was a shame?a black -dmrne." es, It was u shame. Nobody knows that half so well as I know it," said John K. Dale. Ills month quivered. He looked downward, looked up again. ' "Son. you can never say or think worse things about me than 1 have said and | thought ahout .myself?because of j Unit." Dale the younger glanced toward the I louse. Uohert MeLaurln was coming slowly down the veranda steps. Mrs. Dale was nowhere In sight. She didn't want to see her son; she didn't even want hlin In the house. Hill Dale read It all In his friend's downcast countenance, uud It was somehow a great disappointment. "You'll need money If you're going to develop that coal property," Dale the elder was saying. "You haven't any money, and those mountain folk haven't any. I'll give you ull that's "You Know Who Killed Him?" Old Dale Muttered. needed. I'll R?>nd you mining machinery, and expert mining men; I'll?" "You needn't^" broke In the emblt-v tfcred Hill l>ale. "I can get the necessary funds without difficulty. I'll pay \ the debt myself. You've had a grout , I many years In which to try to make 1 amends, and yon haven't (lope anything.

McLaurin followed, and soon overtook him. Hill Dale stopped suddenly and faced back to his father. "Kemeuiber that Bobby gets his house and lot!" "Yes," replied John K. Dale, "Bobby gets his house and lot." He went sadly townrd the mansion that seemed to him now a good deal like a tomb. Young Dale touched his friend on the arm. "Tell me, what did mother say? 1 know It's going to hurt, but?tell It." "She was sitting beside an open window in the library," said McLaurin. "1 told her that you were at the gate, and asked If she would like to see you. At tirst I was afraid she hadn't heard me. Then she opened a hook that she Was reading, fouud her place and marked it with a linger, and looked at me. '"Who did you say was at the gate, Mr. McLaurin?' she asked. 1 "'Your son Curlyle,' 1 unswered. ' " 'Mr. McLaurin,' she said to me coldly, '1 want you never to forget this: To me there Is no such persou on earth as Carlyle Dale.'" [ They went downtown In silence. CHAPTER VII. , Lonesome. , When John Moreland and Hen Llttleford had tlnlshed their breakfast there in the dining rooiu of the Hlalsdell, they drank the water from their tingerbowls, threatened with sudden death tlie waiter who snickered, and found the way to the lobby. To Llttleford the minutes dragged suddenly. Finally he told Moreland, In a sentence tilled with doubte negatives, that he could bear the suspense no longer, and proposed -that they set uul ht ou\e fui Juiivi Br?temcr's hospital. The hotel manager overheard some of the one-sided conversation; he 'phoned the surgeon . and learned that the young woman was resting easily, which information he passed on to the mountain men. Hen Llttleford was quiet for five minutes, more or less. Then he again proposed to John Moreland that they go to the hospital to see Babe. Moreland refused ttatly, and accompanied his refusal w 1th an unmistakable look of contempt. "You're us restless as a dawg in a fl? a town," he told his old enemy, and with that he walked away. A few minutes later Hen Littleton! stole out unnoticed by bis neighbor from the Uig I'iue, and went at a brisk jrnlt up the street. Moreland round it out shortly afterward; he followed the Lift It-ford chief hotfoot, and overtook R,. L. McMANUS Dentiit Chora w, 3c*.

Moreland ba?i assumed iiM. tltude of ?>ire who has had "ir ; lanshlp of an Irresponsible person Xiirlist upon him. But soon he softened somewhat. "1 shore caiu't understand, Ben," h? drawled, "how BUI Dale ever could bear It to live here." **i ' wonder," LIttlerord anld absentuiludedly, as though tie had not heard, "whar B1U Dale Is at?

"Don't ve reckon." flared John More land, "that 1 know u dung cow's meat w hen 1 see It Y It was beef I" They hud halted in the middle ot a stream or pedestrluus. A policeman crowded his way to tlieiu. "Move on 1" he growled. Bill Dule wus at that moment entering the lobby ot the Bluisdell with Kobert McLuuriu at his sine. Dale bud Just told McLuuriu that he uu>uut to go to Cincinnati to borrow money from his wealthy friend Harris. Then McLuuriu told Dale something that saved him the Journey to Cincinnati. "You haven't heard abour Harris, Bill? I'm sorry, because he would have accommodated you. lie went broke u few days ago in the cotton smash, lie was here yesterday, and left last night for Clucy." Dale did not try to conceal his sur! prise and disappointment. Harris, for all ills youth, had beeu a business marvel. "I'll have to try somebody here, 1 guess. But 1 won't take it from lather?mother wouldn't permit It, anyway, If she knew?and there are several other reasons. Queer how a fel low's mother would turn him down like this! Usually, y'know, it's a fel low's mother that sticks hy him the longest, . . . "1 wonder where I could tlnd old Newton Wheat ley, of the LutherW heat ley Iron company 7 1 know him, all right. He always liked tne, Bohby." "You'll lind hit* at home," McLaurin answered. "He's out of business, and here all the time now*. He might take a shot at coni. Why not 'phone hiiu from here?" "I'll do that," Dale decided. "Look up my two friends for uie, Bobby, will you?" lie was soon speaking to Newton Wlicutley. He was brief in stuting his wishes. To iiie question as lo why he did IlOt irn to hl>J fathup Crwr tim,tc well, he had his reasons, und It was rather a private matter. Wheatley, of course, remembered the near-wedding. The old Iron man was silent for what seemed to Dale a very long time. Then his voice came over the wire with an almost ominous calm: "Who besides you has seen this vein, Uarlyle? Anybody that knows coal?" "Yes, my father," Dale answered quickly. "He went over It years ago. Ask him about the coal in David Moreland's mountain. 'Phone hiin, and then 'phone me. I'm waiting at the lilalsdell." j Whcatley agreed a little reluctantly. Dule waited patiently for fifteen minutes. Then the .Clerk called him to the 'phone. He took up the receiver with boyish eagerness. Whcatley began cordially: "Yofr father tells me It Is a good proposition, Carlyl?, so I'll let you have nil the money you'll need. And If you want a good mining man, I know where you can lay your hands on one; also 1 can furnish you, at half the original cost, all the necessary maeliinerv and acres series.
