"It did," said Nance honestly, "so close it inude I'an sipiat." In spite of her courage the woman paled u bit. "My Lord A'inlglit.v !" she snid dis tressedly, "1 do wish jour puppy had stuyed in Missouri! I make no doubt he'd been livin' today and I'd not be eating my heart out with longin' for him, sorrow over Hud. an' fear for you every time you're out of my siht. And th' land ain't worth It." But ance Allison laid her hand over her mother's and turned in the doorway to look once again at the red and purple veils of dusk-huze falling down. the mountain's face, to listen to the song of Nameless river, hurrying down from the mysterious canyons of "the Deep Heart hills, and a sort of adoring awe Irradiated her feature. "Worth It?" she repented slowly. "No-r-not pupp's death not Bud' lameness but worth every lick of work I ever can do, worth every glorl-ons glorl-ons hour I spend on it, worth every bluff I call, every sneak-thief enemy I defy and some day it will be worth a mint of gold when the cattle grow to herds. And in the meuntime it's why. Mammy, it's the anteroom of heaven, the fringes of paradise, right here In Nameless valley. The mother sighed. "You love It a lot. don't you?" she asked plaintively. "I think It's more than love," said the big girl slowly as she rolled her faded sleeves higher along her golden arms preparatory to washing at the well in the yard, "I think it's principle a proving of myself I think it'a a front line in the battle of life and I believe I'm a mighty fighter." "I know' you ure," said the woman with conviction, faintly tinged with pride, "but there'll be few cattle left for Iverds if things go on the way they have gone. I'erhaps there'll be neither herds nor herdera " But her daughter Interrupted "There'll be a light, ut any rate," she said as she plunged her face, man fashion, into the basin filled with water wa-ter -from the bucket which she had lifted, hand over hand "there'll be a fight to . the finish when I start and some (Ih.v I'm afraid I'll start." ' She looked at her mother with a shade of trouble on her frank face. "For two years,-' she added, "I've been turning the other cheek to my enemies. I haven't passed that stage, yet. I'm still patient but I feel stirrings." stir-rings." "God forbid!" said the older woman solemnly, "it sounds like feud!" "Will be," returned the irl shortly, "though I pray against it night and day." The boy Bud came up from the Stable nbim the path. :ind Nance stood watching him. There was but one thing in Nameless i.lley that could harden her sweet mouth, could break up the habitual -aim of her eyes. This was ber brother, I'. .id. When she regarded him. as she did now, there was always a Hash of Hume In ber fitce. a wimple nf anguish pass-Imr pass-Imr on her IWfureSk'.ua wpbMiion, as H were, of some deep and surgleig passion, pas-sion, covered in. hidden, like molten lava in some half-dead crater, Its dull surface cracking here and there with seams of awful lijfht which drew together to-gether swiftly. Now for the moment the little pluy went on in her face. Then she smiled, for he was near. "Hello, kid," she said, "how's all?" The boy smiled back and he was like her as two peas are like each other the same golden skin, the same mouth, the same blue eyes crinkling at the corners. But there the likeness ended, for where Nance was a delight to the eye In her physical perfection, the boy hung lopsided, hli left shoulder drooping, droop-ing, his left leg grotesquely bandied. But the Joy of life was in him as it was in Nance, despite his misfortune.. "Whew!" he said, "it's gettln' warm a-ready. Tretty near melted working In th' garden today. Got three beds ready. Earth works up fine -us sand. -So It does Id the field," said Nance aa she followed the mother Into the cabin, "it's like mold and ashes and all the good things of the land worked in together. Each time ' I work It It eerrni -wilder and sweeter-old lady earth "sending out her alluring proia- - n.and Knkes, girl," said Mrs. Aljr-son. Aljr-son. "where do" you gefslKh fimrte. "Where do you suppose?'; suW Nance, "out of the earth herself. She tells me a-many things here en Name-lesa-such as the value of patience, an how to.be strong in adversity. Ive never had the schools, not since those i i..i, rt,, va In Missouri, but I ve got my Bible and I've, gut t he .land. And I've got tl,esky nmUhe lulls, and the rfver, rV.. ; a hotly can't learn from them he's poor stuff lnslto. Mighty poor." She tidied her hair before the tlaj mim that hung" on the kitchen wall, a small matter of passing her hands over the shining maw, for the bralda were smooth, almost as they had been when she pinned them there before sun up, mid rolling down her sleeve, sat down to the table where a almpU meul was steaming. She bowed her bend and Mrs. Allison, her lean fac gaunt with shadows of fear and apprehension, appre-hension, folded her hard hands and asked the customary blessing of that humble house. -"Humble It was In every particular of Its seant furnishings, of Its bre cleanliness which was Its 'only adornment, adorn-ment, of the plain food on the scoured, clothless table. These folk who lived In it were humble, too. if one Judged only by their toll-scurred hands, their weary facet. But under the plain exterior there was something which set them apart, which defied the stamp of commonplace, common-place, which bid for the extraordinary. This was the dominant presence of purpose of the two younger faces, the spirit of patient courage which shone naked from the two pairs of blue eyes. l'he mother bad less of It. She was like a war-mother of old waiting always with a set mouth and eyes scanning the distances for tragedy. , The living spirit of stubborn courage cour-age had come out of the heart and sool of .John Allison, latter-day pioneer, who for two years bad slept in a low, neat bed at the mountain's foot beyond be-yond the cabin, his end one of the mysteries mys-teries of the wild land he had loved. Ills wife bad never ceased to fret for its unraveling, to know the how and wherefore of his full down Halnhow cliff he. the" mountaineer, the sure, the unchancing. His daughter and son had accepted It, laid It aside for the future to deal with, and taken up the work which he had dropped the plow, the roH' and the cattle brand. It was heavy work for young hunds. young brains. The great meadow on the "other side of Nameless was rich In wild grass, a priceless possession. For five years It had produced abundant stacks to feed the cattle over, and the cutting and stacking was work that taxed the two to the very limit of endurance. And the corn land at the west that, too, took lubor fit for man's muscles. But there were the hogs that ran wild and made such quick fattening on the golden grain lu the early fall. It waa the hgs that paid most of the year's debt at the trading store, providing the bare necessities of life, and Nance could not give up that revenue, work or no work. Heaven knew, she needed them this year more than ever since the fire which had flared In a night the previous harvest and taken all three of the stacks in the big meadow. That had been disaster, indeed, for it had forced ber to sell every bead of her stock that she could at lowest prices, leaving barely enough to get another start. McKane had bought, but be hud driven a bard bargain. - This' was another spring and hopo stirred in her, us it is ever prone to do In the lieurt of youth. Tired as she was, t,he girl brought forth from the ancient bureuu In her own room beyond, a worn old Bible, and placing it beneath the lamp, snt herself down beside the tuWe to tho study of that Oreiit Book which was her classic and -her school. Mrs. Allison Alli-son had retired Into the depths of the cabin; from the small room adjoining. Nance could hear the regular breathing breath-ing of Bud, weary from his labors. For a long time she aat still, her hands lying cupied around the Book, bet face pensive with weariness, her eye fixed unwinking on the yellow flame. Then she turned the thin pages with a reverent hand and at the honeysweet rhythms of the Psalms, stopped and began to read. With David the wandered afar lnt fields of divine asphodel, was soon lost In a sea of spiritual praise and song. Her young head, haloed with a gold en spray In the light of the lamp, was bent above the Bible, her lashes lay like golden circle sparkling . on her cheeks, her Hps were sweetly molded to the words she unconsciously fonned as she read. For a long time she pored over the ancient treusure of the Scriptures, and in aH truth she wjs Innocent enough, lovely enough to tiaVi stirred Karl of stone. It was warm with the breath of spring outside. Window and door stood oi n and uo breete Btlrred tb cheap white ctirtaln at the tlU. Feace was there In the lone borne-' tead by the river, the eecurlty that comes with knowledge that all la looked to faithfully. Nance knew that two huge padlocks en the stoat log barn that housed the horaea and the two tu ilk cows, were duly fastened, for their keys hunt on the wall beside the towel-roller. She knew that the well board wus down, that the box was filled with wood for the early breakfast break-fast tire. "'In Thee, oh. Lord, do I put my trust,' ',' she read In silence. " 'Let me ever be ashamed, deliver me In Thy righteousness ' " She laid her temples In her palms, her elbows on the table, and her bine eyes followed the printed tines with, a rapt delight. Suddenly she aat upright, alert her face lifted Hke that of a startled creature crea-ture of the wild. She had heard-no sound. There had been no tremor of the earth to betray a step outside, and yet she felt a presence. She. did not look toward the. openings, open-ings, but stared at the wall before her Jjr m -j a.

For a Moment She tat So, While a Flush of Anoer Poured Up Along Her Throat to Flare to the Roota of Her Hair. with Its rows of shelves behind their screened doors where her mother kept her scoured pans. And then, suddenly, there came a thin, keen whine, a little clear whistle, and a knife stood quivering between her dropped hands, Its point Imbedded deep rn the leaves of the old Bible. For a moment she sat so, w hUe a Mush of anger poured up along her throat to flare to the roots of her banded hair. With no uncertain band she Jerked the blade from the profound pages, leaped to her feet, snatched a stub of pencil from a broken mug on a shelf, tore a fly-leaf from the precious Book, and, bending in the light, wrote some thing on It. She folded the bit of paper, pa-per, thrust the knife point through tt and, turning swiftly, flung them viciously through t he window where the thin curtuin had been parted. She stood so, facing the window defiantly, de-fiantly, scorning to blow out the light. , Then she dropped her eyes to the desecrated Word and they were flamingand flam-ingand this is what she had written on the fly-leaf: "The Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I te afraid? Though an host shall em-amp against me, my heart shall not fear." Very deliberately she closed the door and window, turned locks on both, picked up her lump and Bible and went Into her own room beyond. Serene in the abiding faith of those divine words she soon forgot the world and all it held of work and care, of veiled threat and menace. At daybreak she opened the window and scanned the ground outside. There waa no thin-bladed knife in sight, no folded bit of paper with Its holy defiance. de-fiance. The whole thing might have beua a dream. fTo be continued) Get your Jonathan, Rome Beauty, Baldwin and Wlnesap Apples, also mangels and carrots at George rF. Shelley's.
