They walked out of the cabin, leaving Major Bradley and Ben Littleford gazing silently after them. At the gate Dale caught John Moreland's sleeve and halted him. "Why on earth," he demanded, "didn't you make the break?" "Bill Dale, 1 went Into his house 1" Dale put his hands on one of the weatherheaten gateposts and looked over to where a bright star burned like a beacon light above the plnefrtnged crest of David Moreland's mountain. He continued to look at the star, his face gray, until It glimmered. Then he began to blame himself; he was the hope of a benighted people, and he had foolishly lost bis temper at a crucial moment 1 He wondered whether It was yet too late, and turned his eyes toward his silent companion. He saw that John Moreland was looking toward the beacon star? The voice of Ben Littleford came to tbem plainly because the night was so : very still; he was reading from the Gospel according to Saint Mark, preparatory to his bedtime prayer. Tho two at the gate listened Intently. The way In which the Illiterate giant stumbled over the simplest words was pitiful. . . . i The hlllman closed the flood Rook ! and placed It on the table beside hlai. There was the low shuffling of feet | as half a dozen persons knelt at their I chair: The prayer which followed ' was much like Jdhn Morelnnd's own bedtime prayer; It had In It less of supplication than of thanksgiving. And In the tall of It there were words tb'it were like bullets to the mountaineer at the gate? *?Bless the good man who Is with ua here tonight, and all o* our aiufolks, and all o' our friends, and all o' our lneuiles?and 'specially the Morelands. AynienP Dale's hand came down hard oo John Moreland's shoulder. "You told me he wouldn't do ltP The old clan leader hung his head, like a man suddenly broken. He replied not a word; he seemed amazed Into speechlessness. He had been wrong In his estimate of Ben Littleford ; be hud lied about a man who had Just asked the good Almighty to bless him. John Moreland choked a ' little and started toward the cabin He walked as though half blind across the porch, and entered without knocking, and went (a to Ben Llttleford with bis right band outstretched. "Le's begin anew," he said huskily. "Le'? he friends, yore people and my people, you and me 1" Llttleford arose and gropeu for his old-time enemy's band, found It and grasped It In both his own. j "You're better 'an I am, John Moreland," be said?"you're a d?d sight better 'an 1 am." When Dale left them, they were talking over a great bear-hunt that they had taken together a score of years before. The moon, full and as bright as new gold, bad risen Just under the beacon tar wbeD Bill Dale reached the doorstep of the cabin that was home to him. He faced about. The broad green valley lay very serene and very beautiful there la the mellow light. There was no sound save for the gentle murmuring of the crystal river. "Xpu wonderful place," he said softly, then added: "My own countryP chaptcr X The Barbarian Prlnceoe Qoee Heme. Miss Elizabeth Llttleford beheld vi Interesting sight when she alighted from a northbound afternoon train at the Haifwuy switch. Just below the long aiding a shorter aiding had been put in?the railway company had been hastened, no doubt, by the great ln< fluence of old Newton Wheatley?and from It bad been unloaded a small geared locomotive, a dozen or so of little coal cars opening at the bottom, and miles of light steel rails with kegs of spikes for them. Out toward her home a crew ef men worked like bees at the building ^of a trestle of round timbers that had been cut from the nearby woods; she at once recognized these men as Morelands and Llttlefords, and she knew ' It meant peace I They didn't recognize her, because of the distance and the , clothing she wore, and because they 1 were too busy to pay any particular attention to her. I Farther out toward Doe river another crew of men was st work clearing the way for the little narrowgauge. She heard the sounds of the ax and the saw, the hammer and the 1 steel, and once there came to her ears I the great dull roar of exploding dynamite as a cliff was blown clear of its foundations. i Miss Elizabeth Llttleford smiled i happily. And she had not been happy for a long time. Patricia McLadrln, i with whom she ha dbeen staying, had been kindness itself, but the mother of HiU Dale, her Bill Dale, had j snubbed her?and besides the longing for the old home hills was riotous In her blood. So site had come back, run away at less than a moment's notice? , *? had Bill Dale before bar, and how good it seemed to be at home 1 She would have gone to see the men, had It not bfpn that she feared she would be a bother. I There was another Interesting sight wheu alie bad reached the crest of David Moreland'e mountain. In the upper end of the broad valley, mldwuy between the "settlement" and the opening of the Moreland coal, vein, two large buildings were well along in their course of construction. I She put down her bundle of clothing, shaded her eyea with her hand, uud tried to And Bill Dale among the builders. But the distance was too great; a man down there was but a mere speck. . . . Before she went on, she removed her shoes and stockings. It wss hard for Babe Llttleford to become accustomed to wearing useless j bhoej and stockings in warm weather I When she had reached the foot of the mountain, aha dldnt talp the byI path her people hud been wont to use Moielands now, thank goodness! Than a voice hailed bar from the laorals out at her right, the voice she loved better than any other? "Hello, Mlis Llttleford t" Babe stopped and faced htm, and she blushed furiously whya she saw ~ him. He was comlug rapidly toward her with his hat to his hand, and his brown hair was rumpled and damp with perspiration. She saw that he was In boots and corduroys, the clothing of a timber-Jack, and he looked bigger In them; about his waist there was a cartridge-belt, from which bung a big and dependable looking revolver In a leathern holster. "Hello, Mister Dale!" she mimicked. He shook her hand, thep he dropped ; to a moes-covered log that lay beside , the narrow tralL t "Sit down here beside me," he said;] and he added: "I've been going hard j all day, and I'm pretty tired." She let fall her bundle and her , shoes and stockings, and obeyed. "Why did you come back. Babe?" he asked as though he were displeased. " "Cause," she answered?and she corrected herself quickly, "1 mean because." "No reason whatever," smiled Dale. "Well." and her dear brown eyes looked at htm squarely, "I come back I ! because yore mother ahe said ,1 would be a burden to Mis' McLaurtn, that's , why." "Mrs. McLaurin," said Dale; "not ' Mis' McLaurin." "A burden to Mrs. McLaurin, and l~ ain't a-goln' to be a burden to nobody I" vehemently. In a softer voice, she went on, "Mrs. McLaurin aad her husband and her folks has done made up friendly, Bill Dale. Mrs. McLuurliftj pap?1 mean her father?he brung 'em a big lot o' silver j tnings. . . . "BI1J Dale, I had a big time I Everybydy liked me but yore own maw?1 mean yore mother. My goodness gracious?they dress awful fine, don't they? Why, silk ain't nothln'. But wtmr alJ o' their money comes from, I shore culn't see. Say, I showed some o' Pat's friends how to dance our old hill dunces, and the whole town was crazy about 'em when I left. Jimmy Payne Is awful good-lookln' and rich, I ain't he, BUI? He liked me better*n any of 'em, 'less It was Pat herself. You know Jimmy, don't ye. Bill?" Dale nodded, frowned, and turned I his sober gaze toward the toes of his high Inced boots. Yes, he knew Jimmy Payne, and he hold him In contempt. The pampered son of a wealthy cotton speculator, weak, devoted to high nights, remarkably handsome to romantic and unsophisticated girls but not to men and women who had cut their wisdom-teeth?that wus Jimmy Payne. Babe Llttleford wus speaking again: "I 'elded to come buck here. Bill Dale, because 1 thought they might | need me here as well as because I was aresru would be a burden to P?t?1 ; mean afraid I would be a burden to | Pat. Seems like caln't talk proper at all I I've tried and tried. I've spent half o' my time Jest a-tryln' to talk proper. Pat, she'd put down words 1 mustn't say on a sheet o' paper, and I'd study 'em. Afeavl, shore, pap, 'cause, ain't, hain't?and all o' them. And she'd put down the right words with 'em so's I'd know. "Yore mother was the last to come to see me. BIH. 'So this.' she says to Pat, 'is the "barbarian princess!" I didn't, know what that meant, hut I "spect it's somethln' had. I went Into the house, because I didn't want to say anything, and her yore own mother. But I listened, UDd 1 heard her say the rest, and this Is It: "'What will you do when the ln-lnInnovailon wears off, Putrlcla?' she say's. 'She'll be a burden to you, fatrlcla; you'll have a half-savage person tagging after you, like a lady bear 1* "That's what It was she sold, BUI D||1a T'm ohnvn fbou A? " 1? ?v* * LU ouvic uicj uu uucu me here, and I ax ye this, Bill Dale: Are you sorry to see me come back?" "Perhaps they do need you." Dale slowly stripped the tiny leaves from a fern. "But that Is not sufficient reason to warrant your staying here. Of course, I'm not sorry to see you. Babe, but you must go back to Patricia very soon. If you had been a burden to Patrlda, she would have told you." Babe put out g foot and Idly rolled 1 an acorn across the path with one bare big toe. "But I?I dou't think I want to go back," she protested. "I'd rather stay here, a heap rather." "But you must go back," declared Dale, "You really must." Ben Llttleford's daughter yras silent. For a moment she absently watched the playful antics of a little boomer squirrel on the side of a nearby hickory. Then she arose. "Look," she urged?It was one of the charming wiles of her?"Look at I "Look," 8ho Urgod?It Was On* of tho Charming Wliaa of Hor?"Look at My Now Dross." my now dross.

You'll go back, won't you?" She bent toward htm and asked pointedly: "Bill Dale, what makes you so anxious fo' me to go?" "Because," readily, "I want you to , have an education." "What makes you want me to taavt a education, Bill Dale?" 'Because you'd be such a splendid "' man, ir yon Had an education." l'-abe. Llttleford pursued with child* like eagerness: "And what makes you want me to be such a s-spleudld woman?" Dale lifted his gray eyes and answered her frankly: "Because 1 expect to marry yea some day." Babe Llttleford blushed deeply. Her eyes were glad, filled with rejoicing. If he didn't love her now, at least just a weeny-teeny bit, he wouldn't be thinking of marrying her some day, certainly, and this conclusion made her happier than she had ever been In all her life before. She wished wildly that she could hug him with all her might?and she had a big notion to do It. But what would he think of her? Well, there would come a day when she would surely hug him with all her might. She would simply break hln blessed bones, almost. "Will you go to Patricia tomorrow?" he asked. She really believed that she ought to go. But the thought of leaving him was more hateful than ever, now that she knew he meant to marry her. She strove to change the subject? "See that little, teeny tlower over there?thut little, teeny, blue one?" she asked, pointing. "That's a dayflower. It's the purest blue of any. They call It a dayflower because it don't last but Jest one single day." And again, pointing: "See that little, teeny, purple flower over there at them twisted laurels? That's called Job's tears, and they don't last but one day, neither. That little red, spidery thing is bee balm. Over yander at the hlck'ry Is monkshood. 1 I'arned the names out o' a book Major Bradley loant me. Hadn't we better be a-goln* toward Itotue? It?It'll be a-comin* dark purt.v soon, won't it?"

XVIU you go back to Patricia?" Beuten, Babe Llttleford drew a long breath and smiled. > "Yes, Mister Dale," she answered resignedly. "1 will.
