! CHAPTER 1
Ezekiel Obadiah ! v kes leaned over the
tumble down split picket fence that had
once kept the pin chickens from his
mother's i hnrn bio uower garaen ana
gazed fixedly at the mountain before
him. His was not a striking figure, be-

ing lame anu wiaewuai ruuuu ouuui
dered. It was not even picturesque. - A
pair of worn jean trousers covered his
lower limbs and wero held in place by
knit "galluses," which crossed the back
of his cotton shirt x3ctly in the middle
and disappeared over his shoulders in
well defined grooves. A stained and
battered wool hat hung like a bell over
his head, which rested by his chin upon
a red, rough hand. The face was half
covered by a reddish brown beard,' the
first of his budding manhood. . -
The sun hurt jnst sunk ueyona tne
mountain, and the- gre::t shadow that
crept across the single field of starving
corn and the tobacco patch deepened
into twilight, and till the young man
rested cn the picket fence Occasionally
he would eject into the half defined
road, which came around one side of the
mountain and disappeared around ths
other, a stream of tobacco juice and pen
sively watch it as it lined the gravel and
vanished into the soil with something
like a lluman gasp. Once he lifted a
bare foot and with a prolonged effort
scratched with its horny toes the calf of
the supporting leg. But ,by no motion
did he dissipate -tho air of listlessness
and despondency that hung about him.
Fortune had not smiled upon the
Sykes family for many moons. There
were no pigs to disturb the flower gar
den overrun with prince's feathers;
hachelor's buttons, four o'clocks, old
maidfi and sunflowers, and the dismount
ed guio leaned restfully against the post
on which it had onco hung. Somehow
everything in the neighborhood of the
Sykes cottage seemed inclined to lean
toward something else. Tho cow was
long gone, and the tiny little boarded
shed, which straddled the sparkling
spring branch near at hand and served
once as a dairy, whs lurching toward
the hillside. . ' .
Near the staggering fence was a bench
that had settled back against it, thrust
ing its lic.:t v. til to tho front, and there
once nestled a score of beehives, but
none remained, and only tho great yel
low and nrsioon butterflies that floated
down the ..til-.y a:id the bumblebees
reveled in th honey flowers. Perhaps
tho influence of these facts weighed upon
the,Voung mauV mind and cast a shadow
darker than tue mountain s. uertainly
as ho leaned silrntly over the picket he
was in harmony with the surroundings.
A girl ciini'j out into tne twmgnt or
the little porch, where' vinos were clam
bering -pellniell np a rou;;h trellis of
peeled rods, and carefully poured water
from a gourd into "a dozen tiny pots
along the edge. The pots consisted of
gourds and of tin cans that had been
brought home by Ezekiel from the refuse
of the geat hotels at The Falls, 10 miles
or more away.. But they answered her
purposes well, only they presented a
somewhat incongruous appearance, for
on several trom wuitii uiooaiea lovely
geraniums cuttings secured by Ezekiel
from character studying ladies at the
, same hotels flamed great red tomatoes,
and where little sprigs of colens beamed
in the shadow shone also phenomenal
asparagus and the violent hued lobster.
The dress of the girl was a well worn .
neat checked homespun, and at the
throat was a bit of faded ribbon.
"D'rindy, yuh seen Ezekiel?" Aneld
derly woman in homespun of the same
design a3 the girl's stood in the door
way that led from the kitchen upon the
porch, holding a coffeepot in hand.
"No, ma'am. Zeke! Oh-h-h-h, Zeke!" .
The girl lifted1 her head and 6ung out
the name until the mountain and the
valley- gave it back ag;iin and again. -
"What yuh warnt, D'rindy?" The
voice came from so close at hand in the
gathering shadows as to startle her.
"Well, I d'clar' ter goodness' sakes,'
Ezekiel, what yuh doin out thar?"
"Nuth'n.'' The reply was low and
careless.
"Come in an git yuh vittuls."
"Don't warnt nuth'n, ma. Yuh all
eat."
The woman looked out at the lone fig
. ure for a moment, then went in, and
presently the girl thoughtfully followed.
At the table, upon which was a pone of
cornbread, a pot of weak coffee and a
handless pitcher of molasses, the elder
said: ! -
"I'm 'feered Ezekiel ar ailin. ' Las'
night he wouldn' tech vittuls, an hit
ain't no better ternight."
"Suthin's pesterin 'im," Dorinda said
simply; "er-pesterin es mind." An old
man sat next to her and shook his head.
"All liers, all liers!" ho muttered. He
was evidently very deaf, and there was
not a hair on his head, which was sunk
en between his shoulders. "Thar warn't
nail? still F' The women paid no atten
tion to his inutterings, and presently
nmsaing ins sop ne wipea ms nngers
upon his hips and shuffled into the cor
ner of the fireplace, where he mumbled
to himself awhile an then fell asleep.
"Yes, suthin's pesterin 'im," said the
old woman after a pause. "Ezekiel ain't
like esse'f." The girl rested her elbows
on the table and watched her companion
absently. Presently she said abruptly:
"Aun' Betsey, you rek'n Zeke hain't
still er-frettin 'bout Sal Boler gittin
j'ined ter 'er feller?"
"Maybe so. But I reck'n hard times
got more ter do 'ith it. Ezekiel don't
see no chance ahead now." She sighed,
but added, as if to counteract its effect:
- "Not that I'm : distrustin. Th' Lord'U
Grvide. He alius pervides fur them as
ms on 'im." Dorinda looked wistfully
op into the face of hergiug companion
and was silent. .. Presently she rose and
washed the few dishes, placing them
upon their shelf. A few deft touches re
stored the room to its usual scrupulously-neat
condition. -
Returning the coffeepot to the hearth
again and the remaining bread to the
spider for "Zeke," .as she had always
called him, in defiance of his mother's
example, she went quietly to hex little
shedroom at tho end of the porch and sat
down to think. She was Dorinda Had
dox, not Sykes, the daughter of a poor
woman down the valley who died in the
arms of Mrs. Sykes five years before,
leaving nothing she might call her own
but this one. lonely child. Her father
and her brother had been killed in a
fight with Tevenne officers, and the hair
less, driveling old man within the kitch
en had suffered two years of imprison
ment, for the blood shed had not all been
on. one side. She had come into this
household to share its increasing bur-

dens and diminishing income, but not to
eat the bread of idleness. Never bid
mother a tenderer daughter, never an
orphan a better mother. Zeke had been
her one playmate. and protector, and the
little room, built when she grew older,
was the result of his rough carpentry. L
"I wnnner ef he es er-frettin 'bout
Sal Boler gittin j'ined?" she asked her
self. Tho romance was familiar to her
in all its parts from the day when Ezekiel
was smitten until faithless Sal wedded a
stranger from beyond the mountain, and
he sunk back into despair and silence.
She stood up before a little fragment of
glass and looked at herself. It was a
tiny room indeed, but marvelous in its
appointments. The bare boards were
frescoed with autumn leaves, their tints
making a glory in the half lit place.
Clusters of chestnut burrs garnished
with them hung around, and here and
there, in scraped cow horns thrust into
crevices, were tucked great bunches "of
ferns and scarlet berries and goldenrod.
A half dozen cheap prints cut from
periodicals picked up at The Falls filled
the waste places, and festoons of bead
corn linked them together. But just,
above her glass was a cheap photograph
of Zeke, taken years before in the moun
tains by a straggling photographer whom
ho had guided, representing him, as he
had seen tho romantic tourist, posing in
the shadow of a rock, his hat in one
hand, and the other, for want of a coat,
thruBt into his half open shirt front a
barefooted mountain boy whose honest
eyes looked straight into hers. This had
been, from.the day EzeMel-brought it
home, the treasure of her girlhood. ,
The frame about it was like none other
in the world. It was of mica, made of
sheets larger than any man's hand, and
upon their surface with a needle she had
traced ferns, butterflies, flowers and
leaves, rubbing soot into , the lines to
make tho figures stand forth. This was
her gem, and once a traveling artist who
gated upon it said that it was wonder
fully true to nature and offered to buy
it. He might as well have bartered for
her eyes. The little room held only her
couch, a rude chest, a splint rocker and
a stool all Zeke's work a brownstone
bowl and a great jug shaped gourd which
served her for a pitcher.
As the girl stood in brown reverie be
fore the fragment of glass she heard a
horse approaching at a fox trot and pres
ently a voice exclaim:
"Well, Ezekyel, how es time er-sarvin
you an yourn?" She recognized the
drawl of an old "hard shell preacher
who at long intervals came to hold forth
in the neighborhood. Then Ezekiel's
voice: .
"Po'ly, parson. Light?" '
"No; I'm goin ter lie at Sis' Toomer's
ternight. Will see yuh out terZebber
lon come er-Sunday. Th' road hain't
ther bes an hit's er-gettin dark whoa!
Oh, Ezekyel she heard: the horse,
which had started, checked again "seen
Sal Boler 'cross the line las' month. Th
critter she war er-j'ined ter es dead.""
The girl in her little room clasped her
hands and sunk back on the couch. She
could but hear what followed.
"Yuh don't sayr
. "Be'n dead fo1 montfes come er-Friday.
She ain't f urgot you, Ezekyel." Here the
speaker chuckled. "She do' say that ef
her life was ter come roun -ter be lived
ergin she'd be Mistis Ezekyel Sykes down
in Raccoon Holler."
"Did Sal say hit fur er fac', parson?"
His voice was low.
"She said hit fur er fac', an Sal hain't
er-need'n no man ter get vittuls for her.
The Lord he has blessed her more'n
many er-prayin ooman an the mother er
chillum, er rer, blessed be his holy name,
er rer! An I say it er-wonderin, not er
flndin fault. Yes, Sal's got lan an
stock; no eend er stock."
The girl heard his horses footfalls echo
out in the distance. She waited long.
Then Ezekiel entered the kitchen, and
she followed quietly and placed his bread
upon tho table. He passed into the only
remaining room without noticing her.
"Ala," she heard him say quietly, as
was his way, "git me up 'bout light. I'm
goin ter th' yan side er th' mount'in ter
morrer, an maybe I won't git back afo'
Sunday." -
Dorinda turned and went out as silent
ly as she came. In her room she threw
herself face down upon the log cabin
quilt of her couch and sobbed herself
asleep.
. CHAPTER il.
When Ezekiel Sykes arose next morn
ing responsivo to his mother's call, day
light was glimmering faintly on the
mountain. He took from its pegs his
red jean suit, the same that Sal Boler
had so often seen him in, now a little
worse for wear, and donned it, putting
on his one other cotton shirt. Then he
slicked his hair with marrowfat from a
horn, and throwing his boots, well
greased, across his shoulder rolled up
his trousers. Prepared for his journey,
he proceeded to the kitchen and pos
sessed himself of a cup of .cold coffee
and the bread put aside for him. As he
was passing out his mother came to the
door.
"Fur the Lor sakes, Ezekiel, whar be
yuh goin ter, boy?"
"Ter the yan side o' the mount'in,
ma," he 6aid quietly. Then he called to
her from the outside, "I reck'n yer hain't
ter see me afo' Sunday." j
"Well, that beats jay times," she said,
gazing blankly at the open door. Pres
ently she began to dress. "Sunday meet
in clothes on, an hit er Chuesday! Hit's
onpossible thet Ezekiel is settin up ter
er gal over thar" She paused with
her dress half over her head. "No, hit's
onpossible; one er Ezekiel's queer no
tions. The boy war never jes' like ynther
boys. Ter think," she said, laughing
softly, "ter think of folks callin him
'Doctor' 'Dr. Zeke! But hit's er fac'
thet he do fe'ch sum folks round eston
ishin'ly, an thet's erbout all any ynther
doctor c'n say." ,
When Ezekiel Sykes took the road at
early dawn, he went northward, and as
he strolled along he whistled softly. A
great change had come over him. He
carried himself erect, as in olden times,
Kand smiled responsive to his. thoughts.
If Dorinda could have seen him then,
she would have said, "Hit's Zeke come
ter his own se'f ergin." The perfidy of
Sal Boler had been a crushing blow a
year before. He had Buffered, and his
pride had been altogether annihilated.
From a Belf laudatory young man he
had sunk into a morose and thoughtfully
distrustful one. If he had had the power
of expression, he might have become a
cynic in words, as he was in fact. He
had borne up pretty well under the wan
ing fortunes of the Sykes family and the
disasters which befell them all through
the father, but Sal's conduct finished
bimjtfUCffifiieliilow. :
- Ef "her life tat ter Come rbtua Iter
be lived ergin, she 'd be Mistis' Eaekyel
Sykes down een Raccoon Holler," he
said aloud, and then he laughed. - It had
been many a day since he had laughed
like that, and he realized the change.
"Zeke, less see how yuh look," he added
jubilantly, v He took a small bit of glass
from his coat pocket, thrust it behind
the scale of a pine tree's bark and sol
emnly surveyed his countenance. -'
"Hit's Zeke," he admitted, ; winking
and twisting his head. "Zeke, Ezekiel
Obadiah Sykes Dr. Zeke. An I reck'n
she done a long sight worser'n looks
when she j'ined unto that Callihy feller,
ef she didn't in lan an stock." He took
off his hat and bowed to Ezekiel in the
glass and smiled at Ezekiel in the glass
and rolled his tongue at. Ezekiel in the
' glass. "Ezekiel," said he finally, "ding
yah ole skin, ef I wuz ter meet yer on
ther road I'd say, 4Ther' goes er feller fit
iter run er gal crazy.' I would, fer er
!fac Yer ar er bad. un." He winked
with both eyes violently. ."No eend to
lan an stock!"
! With a loud " guffaw he returned the
reflector to his pocket and whistling and
singing by turns resumed his journey.
The change that had come over him was
marvelous. -: .' v
i Ezekiel had covered about 15 miles
and was upon a better road when he was
Overtaken by a spanking team, driven
iby a good natured, easy, going young
man, wno naueu turn pieasanuy.
"Ride, stranger?" .
"In course," said Zeke, "an glad ter
get hit. - How fnr yuh travelin?"
i "Up about Red Creek."
I "Well, now, thet's what I calls luck,"
said Zeke as he settled down on the
proffered seat. "So'm I."
j The young man smiled at the speak
er's general appearance and manner.
His own shoes were on and blacked, and
there was a well bred business look
about him that Ezekiel noticed.
"Be yuh er-stayin thar?"
"Yes," said the stranger, looking at
him keenly, but slyly. . "Where do yon
hail from?"
"Raccoon Holler." .
- "Farming?",--
"Some an er-docterin some."
"So! You are a doctor, then. Allo
pathic or homoeopathic?"
Ezekiel reflected. "Mostly yarbs," he
said.'
His companion smiled again. "I see.
One of nature's doctors. Best sort, after
all" -
Under this flattering admission Ezekiel
expanded at once.
"Think so?
"I do, indeed." ,
Ezekiel stretched ont his hand. "Glad
ter , know yuh. What mout be your
name?"
, "Tom Summers."
"Dr. Ezekiel Obadiah Sykes," he said
gravely.
"Glad to know you, doc. It is lone
some up here. Glad to have your com
pany."
j "'Tis kinder lonesome," admitted
iEzekiel. Then after a pause, "But,

"Thefs my way. 1 hain't be'n ter

"Death was instantaneous, I supposes
"Death! Why, ther chile ar terday ther

The stranger laughed.
"Well, that was wonderful indeed.
But, doctor, seriously, what would you
do if nature should call for something
out of season?"
Dr. Zeke pursed up his lips, and look
ing out across the mountains scratched
his chin .
"Natur," he said presently, "hain't
coin ter call fur thet which natur' hain't
got-i-thet is, ginerally. But hit do some
times so happen thet way.
"Then comes practice by substitute,
The stranger passed the reins while he
went down into a leather case for cigars.
"No," said the doctor. "Hit won't
work thet er way. Now thar war Sis'

; Something like five miles had been
covered during the exposition of the
Sykes theory of medical practice when
Ezekiel suddenly changed the subject.
"Stranger, yuh ever hyar er th' Wid-
der Martin SaUie Boler thet war, np

"Yes, indeed. Nicewomansheistoo."
The stranger ' spoke without hesitation.
Ezekiel was silent for a full minute.
Then, unable to contain the secret any
longer, he continued: ,
. "Well, hit's Tjleeged ter come out,

"Indeed? Bully boy, and good luck to

"Oh, yes. The widow and I are good

"Yuh don't say!"
"We are indeed." r

"Stranger," said be, "will yer hole up

boots. -After this he stuck the little

"ThetH do fur th' widder," he said
is he climbed back into the buggy. j
The two journeyed along pleasantly
until the summit of the ridge was reach
ed and the opposite valley lay spread be
fore them. Here the stranger, after a
tew minutes' reflection, said, bis eyes
rwinkling: j I
"Dr. Sykes, perhaps I ought to have '
mentioned it before, but the fact is I
married Widow . Martin myself two
Keeks ago." i , I
Ezekiel looked at him blamkly for a full
minute, then reached out and caught the
ones, and with a slow, steady pull
brought the horses to a standstill. The
stranger's face was as calm and impassive
as a June sky.
"Yuh don t sayr he exclaimed in a
hoarsa whisper.
"Fact, But don't turn back on that
account. Any friend of mine fill be
welcome at Sal's. Besides, she wants to
see you, for I have heard her say so,"
Ezekiel still surveyed him piteously.
Then he slowly reached down and drew
off first one and then the other boot. His
cravat was returned to his pocket.
Springing to the ground, he caught the
line nearest to him. -"
"Stranger," he said, "Widder Martin's

Oh, yuh needn laugh!
"Sykes, said his late companion, wip
ing the tears from his eyes and still shak
ing, "let go that line."
"I'm the bes' man in Kabun county,"
said Ezekiel, dancing in the road. "Come
down, come down!"
"You're the biggest fool!"
Ezekiel was fairly boiling with rage.
"Light, light!" he yelled. Then as the
stranger made ! no motion to comply
Ezekial began to kick the nearest horse
in the stomach with all his misht, and
that animal responded by rearing and
plunging violently. The stranger "lit,
Unfortunately for Ezekiel, he was caught
in the act of pulling off his coat. He was
a doomed man, from the outset. For
about three minutes there was an ani
mated spectacle! in the road, and then
Ezekiel ned from the spot, as was per
fectly proper, since he could have accom
plished nothing ;desirable by remaining.
and the stranger was at white heat.
Kicking the horse had upset his temper
completely. L
"Confound the fellow!" he said, "I've
a great mind to carry off his boots and
coat." h
But he did not, and nature's physician
regained them when the coasts were
cleared, and bleeding and dazed took
the back track. 'At the little branch he
stuck his glass in the tree again and be
gan an examination of himself. One eye
was nearly closed, his lip was .cut, and
his nose -was swollen. Minor injuries
helped to make him the unhappiest of
mortals. Long time he studied himself in
silence. Presently he said, a great tear
oozing from the blackened eye:
"Ef 'e had n'er got een that ar fust

checked the tears and examined himself
critically. Finally he said more calmly,
"Hit war done complete anno mistake."
As he slowly and painfully resumed
his journey homeward he added, " Ef
y her life war ter come around ter be lived
ergin, she'd be Mistis Ezekyel Sykes

He shook his head pitifully, "Oh, Sal,

! RMLRUAD ACCIDENT.
Collision Near Chester, 8. C Five Passen
gers Ir-jared None Seriously Hurt.
By Telegraph to the. Moraine Star.
Columbia, S. C, Jan. 17 No. 35
fast mail, south bound, of the Florida
Central and Pennsylvania. Railroad, was
run into at 1.30 this morning at Chester
by a freight train of the Georgia Central
and Northern road. The R. & D. au
thorities here give out the following as
the true facis of the accident: Two
roads cross near Chester. The fast mail,
with a number of sleepers attached,,
stopped at the crossing as is required by
railroad rules. The engineer in charge
appeared not to have paid any attention
to this rule and ran down tothe crossing
at j the rate of 45 miles an
hour. He satv the fast mail but
jumped fiom the engine and allowed
itto crash into the rear sleeper of the
mail train. It s ra vet'ous tbat any
body in the sleeper escaped death. The
sleeper was smashed a- d ih sleeper
next to it was thrown off the track. No
body was killed and it is not thought
that any of those injured aie fatally hurt.
Chester is a good sized place and the
physicians there were able to take care
of the wounded. The wreck was cleared
this morning and the uninjured passen
gers were sent through to their destina
tion, i
Washington, Jan. 17. At half-past
10 this morning a telegram was received
here by General Manager Green from'
General Superintendent McBee, of the
Richmond & Danville road, which shows
that tbe accident at the crossing near
Chester, S. C. early this morning, was
fortunately not so serious as was re
ported. It appears there were only- ten
persons on the wrecked Pullman, and
only five of these were injured. F. H.
Spears, of Pittsburg, received a scalp
wound; T. H. Hoffman?, of New York,
wrist burned; Mrs. M. E. McCarty,
Washington, D. C, elbow cut; G D. Mc
Carty, Washington, several bruises; J. T.
Wilson, Pittsburg, back hurt; Pullman
Conductor Davis bruised about head
and ear cut.
No other passengers were injured.
Dr. Davega, the company's physician,
has charge of the miured persons, and
says that he does not consider any of
them seriously hurt.
A second dispatch to the R. & D. offi
cials here has been received contirma
tory of the one from General Superin
tendent McBee, but giving the addi
tional information that not only the.
Jacksonville sleeper, but a first and a
second cuss coacn on tne same train
were overturned. The list of injured al
ready given, it is assumed, included any
of the passengers in these coaches who
may have been hurt. The telegram fur
ther says that the R. D. train had
stopped at the crossing as required by
law, and bad again started up and was
nearly across the track of tbe Georgia,
Carolina and Northern when a freight
train on the latter roud collided with it,
the Conductor subsequently explaining
that his train had got beyond the con
trol of the engineer.

St. Louis. Jan. 17. John Buchner, a

lynched this morning. Buchner was
captured late last night and locked up in

around his neck and strung him up to a
railroad bridge. The body was left

gers on the : San Francisco Railroad
which passed this morning.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Lower Corn and Oats Higher A
Decline In Prices of Fork Products.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Chicago, January 17. The wheat
market oDened to-day under the de
pressing influence of a disheartened
feeling in the bull camp. Weaker
cables and fine weather had much to
do with the weak opening.. May opened
a half cent under yesterday at 64c
sold between 64c 64c and 64&c,
closing &c under yesterday at 64mc.
Corn was. as a whole, steady; the
closing Uc higher than yesterday.
Oats There was a moderate good
trade in the May option, but others
were dull. The close was about c
over Tuesday s figures.
Provisions were weak at the start on
lower prices for hoes, with a large run
on them. Later in the session a further
decline in prices at the yards was re
flected in the provision market by a
much weaker tone and corresponding
recession. The close showed a loss of
25c for the dav in May pork, 15c loss in
May lard and 123415c in May ribs.
