He was a large man In a dusty brown suit, the pants tight fitting, hugging his knees, and squeezing down Into a pair of straight black boots with brown ears to pull them on by. His sandy hair flared out from under a high crowned black hat and joined a flowing red beard which swept down from bis cars to the fifth button on his vest. Shelleuberger tilled his pipe leisure ly.

Cynthia felt a surge of pity for the ewe which was poor Imperfectly equipped to bear the lamb she had conceived, and was now ruthlessly trapped In a snare whose purpose Cynthia could not fathom. There was a fnlnt noise In the orchard path behind the house. Sparrel got up. The boys listened. Cynthia paused In the doorway. Julia came from the kitchen. "It must he Nelson," Jesse said. Two men on mulebnck came from the path Into the yard. Cynthia saw that It was Nelson and a stranger. She concentrated on the stranger whose features were obscure In the last of the daylight.

"What do you do with all of that acreage?" "Why, we have about sixty acres of good bottom land In crops, a good deal In grass, and there's this part here with the bouse and garden nnd orchard; my two girls have farms on it, and the rest Is just land to have around you to look at and hunt In. I hadn't thought much about what I did with It." Sparrel spoke slowly and clearly. Shellenberger noted the pleasant sound of the voice. "Then you get all your Income from one hundred and fifty acres, let us say. and all the rest of the six thousand lies Idle and unproductive." Shellenberger balanced between question and assertion. "Why, If you think of it like that, yes. Only land, at least a right smart of It, was made to Just be there to be around a body and be looked at. I spend part of my time Just looking at Cranesnest nnd the Pinnacle. They don't have to have any ue only that." "And yet you have to pay taxes on the entire place, don't you?" "Yes."
