And we're getting a smashing price tor every ounce ot It." "I see," said the young woman. He sent on: "All of the boys and girls of the liorelands, except the very little ones, are In school at Oattersrllle, and they're learning fast. When our borrowed capital is paid bade, the Moreland families are going to buy farms lying near umrtersvuis ana go to them. A big lewland farm close to food schools and a good little town?well, there are worse places on earth. Pity poor David Moreland can't know about It." Td say I" She hung her bead. She was thinking, as she had so often thought before, of her own benighted people. "And the Llttlefords?" she murmured. It had slipped past her Upa Dale and the Morelands owed the Llttlefords nothing. Dale understood, and he gave hot a sympathetic glance. "A few of the boys and girls of th< Llttlefords are going to school In Car tersvllle, perhaps one frOm each family," he told her. MIt Is rather expensive, you know, en account of the boarding, and they can't afford t< send all their children. However, 1 think-?ultimately?your people will have their chance for education, too.* "But It won't do much good to educate one out e' each family,** said Ells abeth. "They'd come straight bad here when they got through with the!) schoolln', and soon fo'glt?1 mean for get!?It all. If they make their learn in' pay 'em anything, they'll have fa stay where they can use It." She began to stare absently towart her well-shod feet. "Are fpo ready to go?" Dale asked Ellsabsth Llttleford raised her heat with a slight jerk and said rather awk wardly: "Has the valley changed much7" "Not very much," answered Dale "There?* a new log church, where at old minister named Ashby Croa preaches the gospel of straight walk lng and human kindliness every Sun day.

The autumn sun, a grea red ball of fire, was just setting beyon< the majestic Big Pine. Dale pointed to a long, moss-covera slab of browu sandstone. ! "Lefs sit down there and rest," h< -suggested.

"Because," said Dale, speaking slow ly, "you have always seemed to b one of my own kind. You seem rea to me. I was so sick of artlflclalltle In women that I loved you the momen I saw you. I know you are prlmltlvs 'but I am primitive, too. And yo weren't calling yourself 'Ma-a-am-mal 'to a d-r-d poodle. . . . "Major Bradley," he went on, "feel sure that I will be acquitted. If I turns out like that, I want you t marry me at once. Tell me?will yoi Babe?" i How boyishly Impatient he was. Wa he afraid he would lose her by wail lng? | "You love me, don't you.

"Then why won't you marry roe?" She didn't answer. She wouldn answer. The day of the trial daymed cleai with the snap of avtntnn In th air. This courthouse was filled to It capacity within fifteen minutes afte the doors were thrown open. Ever man who had a rifle was forced h leave It behind with the sheriffs depu ties; a company of the state's sallltlt there, and each member of It hat a hundred rounds of batl cartridge* In bis belt?the authorities were taklnj no chances. Amid a breathless hush, the wheel* ef the taw began to move. Caleb Mors land quickly told what he bad to aay and backed U np with proof; h< brought out a perfect alibi. Th* Judge and the Jury frowned and smllst In the same instant Dale went for ward and took kls place. He pleaded "Not Guilty." A little later th. introduced Its evidence and rested. T^e counsel for the defense, patrician and soldier like, Immaculate from bis toes to the crow* of his head, went eagerly to his feet. He had full) prepared himself, and he delivered his argument with an eloquent and fores' ful swing. It was plain thai the Jury was favorably Impressed by the words of this man who never accepted a case unless he was absolutely sure that his client was In the right. Major Bradley hinged his argument on the mysterious third shot If Dale's bullet had killed Adam Ball, would sot Adam Ball have beau shot squarely or at least nearly squarely firm* flM ^'Mjuuy ?? | hidden trkft4 of Dele'a,feO majsr do. ? datod, ttt it hafrfoafc deoo for tbs pUpOM ?C Saving 0?lr? life.

The Jury waa out not mora than twenty mtnutee, but to Blliaboth Ltttieford It was an age of tart ore. The twelve men filed slowly In and faced the jtidga, wfio turned austere eyes upon them and asked: . "Gentlemen of the Jury, have you reached a verdict?" . They had. Elisabeth Litttoford's bead swam as she bent forward to catch the foreman's wards? "Not guilty 1" wild shOut cose from the leathery throat of the happy By Hack. The Mprelands and the Littleferds cheered Until they were hoarse. Sheriff Tom Flowers had difficulty in gUletlng the fumult. BUI Dale shook hands nntll his shoulders^ ached. The Balls and | their relatives, bitter with resentment i and hatred, stole out, were given their rifles, and went toward the big bills I with the eye of the mlltla hard upon them. Then the More lands and the Littlefords and the Hecks, with Dais and ms milling man uayes, cam* oot, and ( they, too, started tor the big hills. Dale had hired e horse and a aide I saddle tor Ben Llttleford's daughter, and the two rode In each other's company on the Journey home. When they were well Into the mountains, Dale L drew his horse over cloee to that of . bis companion. "As soon as I can build and furnish . " he began, when Elizabeth luter, rupted: "We're rldln' too fast We're too I much ahead o' the others. One o' them Balls might try to pick you off with his rifle gun." I "Not much danger of that" Dale re. plied. "The Balls have already been warned about sniping; your father told them that their very name would he ^ scoured off the earth If tlmre was any I sniping. Besides, By Heck Is acting _ as advance guard somewhere ahead of . us." He continued, "Ab soon as I can . Dutld and furnish a little house out j near the mine, I wont you to marry 8 me, Babe. Will you?" , Elizabeth Llttleford seemed not to B have heard. "Will you, Babe?" ' * She faced him sadly. He saw In her bazol eyes the same queer light j of tragedy that he had seen there a # day or two before; and now, as then, be wondered what It could mean. j "Tell me. Babel" Her head fell forward. The sunlight j found glints of gold In her thick chestout-brown hair. She was silent for a moment; then her voice came dully: j "I'd better not marry you, BUI Dale." a Dale sat up straight and rigid In his saddle and stared hard at her solB emnly beautiful prouie. He could hardly believe that he had heard correctly. He knew she loved him. She had told him that she loved him. Then B why wouldn't she marry him? He j tried to reason It out, and the attempt made his brain ache; he was unable to reason. He knew only that she was all of the future to him, all of the Q world to him, and?that she had refused to marry him. When they were within two miles of home, Dale went suddenly white . and caught her almost rudely by a i wrist. | "Is It Jimmy Fayne?" he demanded ' hntlv J I %v" I She Rave him a reproachful glance 1 ' and aald nothing. He tlung her hand from him angrily. Dale did not apeak again until they had entered the broad valley that was , home to him. Somehow he fell limp ; now. The great wave of anger had i passed. j "I guess you are too good for me." ' he said. There was weakness In his voice, and It was the first weakness she had ever kno^ In him. ! "Will you always think of me as the finest and most beautiful woman In tAe world?" she asked. "Always." "It's the best I can hope for." mnrnnred IfilUabeth. "What do you mean?" -It's the best 1 can hops for." Eliza* beth repeated as though she w<re talk* log to heraelf. They rode on In silence. a There was no sleep for Bill Dale that night The sweetness of his liberty had all been taken away by Babe Llfctleford's refusal to marry him. Ha became bitter toward her again. She had beep exceedingly unfair to him: while she really loved him, she was going to marry Jimmy Fayne because JVBW W SB !' Lumber ! Yard IIV G HER AW ? i ?
