Bared me, Mr. Hillyer." Buckley turn
ed the old man's face toward him.
"You know I never had a father I
could love and respect, but I love and
venerate you, sir. You can count on
me, Mr. Hillyer. I was drunk when I
spoke as I did just now. I'm sober
now. I hope you wOl pardon me."
"Oh, George F That was all the old .
man could say; he- had begun i.sob
like a child. ' -
Buckley took up the lamp "Yes,n he
said as he led the way back to his
room, "I'm all right now, Mr. Hillyer.
An hour ago I had nothing to encour
tge me to" keep on, but you have set
me on my feet. Your long trouble has
made a good man of you, perhaps Prov
idence intends to give me the same sort
of chnnce. If that's the plan, I'll accept
the terms, for I'd go through it all to be
as good as you are, even when my
head is white and I stoop over the
grave. What you did in blind, youth
ful passion was nothing nothing! My
actions tonight on account of what I
cannot help were simply insanity."
, CHAPTER V.
HE next morning the open space
at the side of the warehouse
was filled with mountain wag
ons. Those which contained
T
chestnuts, ginseng, fruit, chickens,
eggs, butter or smoke cured bacon had
white canvas covers over them, the oth
ers were cotton wagons, upon' which
the great, bulging bales were heaped.
The year's crop was abundant, and lit
tle of the product had been stained in
the boll, for the ripening period had
been dry and blessed with sunshine.
As Hillyer was about to enter the
front door of the warehouse after
breakfast Bascom Truitt slouched to
ward him from a group around a little
campfire between two cotton wagons.
Jerking his long thumb over his shoul
der, and hitching up his suspender
less trousers at the waist, he drew the
merchant to one side.
"Heard Hillhouse say you was out
lookin' fer George last night," he be
gan awkwardly, "an' I 'lowed thar'd
be no harm in havin' a word with you.
That's all right 'twixt me 'n' George,
squire. He told me jest now he never
knowed what he was about an' that
he's sorry. Shucks! he never hurt me,
Mr. Hillyer. Besides, I'd let that chap
maul me in the face as much as he
likes after the friend he's been to Jeff.
Ef he's done my .boy. one favor lie has 1
a hundred. My wife feels jest like I
do about George, an' ef she was to hear
I'd got 'im in trouble over a little thing
like that last night she'd quit me."
"So"thar won't be no' charge agin
'im, then?" said Hillyer in relief.
"Not a bit," said the mountaineer, un
consciously stroking the Jaw George
Buckley had bruised the night before.
"The marshal eome to me jest now an'
axed me ef I wanted to make a case,
an' I told 'im he was crazy, that me 'n'
George was jest playin', an' some o'
them dern niggers 'lowed we was fus
sin'." "I'm glad you feel that way, Truitt,"
said Hillyer, and he went into the of
fice, sat down at his desk and began
to read his mail.
Two citizens of Darley made the
warehouse their business headquarters,
using the desks without pay. Henry
Hanks, a tall, lank, married man about
fifty-five years of age,, had a desk in
one corner of the office. He wore a
long brown beard, was dyspeptic, yel
low skinned and nervous. He was a
Confederate veteran who had, after the
war, developed a surprising capacity
for making mtoBeyjjut of the unfortu
nate section he tiadnwavely fought for.
He was a well to do note shaver, and
sold farmers their yearly supplies at
an enormous profit. Anything from a
cooking stoye to a yoke of oxerr was
considered good security when once de
scribed in the "iron clad" mortgage
note of which he was the inventor. He
never wore a vest, ' and the pockets of
his thin coat were always bulging with
notes and accounts which he carried on
his person to have them ready at a mo
ment's notice when he ran across a de
linquent The other citizen was Jim
Kenner, a jovial cotton buyer, a bach
elor about forty-five years of age, who
was the very life of the little circle.
When he had business to transact he
could be as long faced and serious as
any one else; but even; then his humor
was apt to bubble up and burst at the
very moment no one was expecting it
His chief amusement was in teasing
Hanks, whom he sarcastically called
"Old Liberality," or "Lib" for short
He spoke with a whine that always
ended in a rasping laugh that was very
infectious. Hanks, had : never been
known.to smile, and yet a close observ
er would have seen -that, to his own
way, be seemed to enjoy all hls-nsso-
date's levity. It was a chilly day and
there was a good fire in the long wood
'stove, and the-two "men bent' over it
George Buckley sat on his .high stool
at his desk at work on Ms big ledger.
'Say, George," whined Kenner, as he
threw a- cigar stump under the stove
and leaned back In his chair. : "Did you
ever hear that tale Bill Gower is a-tell-in'
on Lib. about his burn out when he
h used to be in the Junk business T'
fieoree smiled indulgently,' and said,
without Rooking round,1 that he had
not -
"Lib made his start In the junfc busl
ness down at the fur end if the s$reet"
said. Kenner.' "Jest after the surrender
thar was "a lots o" scrap iron 'an' the
like Mn? : around, an! he made money
hiivin'i It tip an , shippin' It to Jron
foundries.' Then he added wheat . an'
nnfld an corn as a skle line, an? one
fall when he had a party big stock of
everything hia shack ruck flrevb-A wind

when some o the crowd laid hold V

George laughed at this recital, but
Hanks simply swung his foot back H
forth and chewed the end of his un
lighted cigar. To all appearances he
had not heard werd: ef what -bad
been said.-
"We put the shanty ent, said Ken
ner, "but Lib didn't: help; a -bit He

"Ef thara anybody ,; that loves a

note shaver, "I'd like to see Im.' I
never heard o' anybodyngittln' anything

Kenner laughed.' "When" I fust

ly "git any aperituaj good hstenln' to

I didn't care; my religion improved, an
when his term was out he went oft
owin' brother Lampkln seventy-two
dollars an' odd cents. Lampkrn re
fused to he'p the heathens fer four
year afterwards."
Hillyer turned round In his chair and
smiled. His face had a healthier glow
and his eye a deeper twinkle than
usual. To look at him one would not
have suspected that he had passed
through a storm the night before that
had almost shaken his soul out of his
body.
"I've always thought you'd Insist on
your rights," he said to Kenner. "An'
the truth Is it's the only way to get
on in business."
"Well," answered the cotton buyer,
"I had to hold folks down, Mr. Hill
yer. I was a green hand, but I reckon
I ripened purty quick. Thar was a
young storekeeper next door to me,
Joe Gibbs, as sharp as a brier. He
could multiply four figures by four
figures in his head an' give you the
answer in a minute. He used to tell
me who would do to credit an' who
wouldn't an' I always relied on his
Judgment.
"But Lord, I cayn't set here tellin'
yarns all day. I'm. goln' to handle a
sight o' cotton 'fore sundown; it's roll
in' in like a circus parade"
The day's business had really begun.
Mountain men came in with samples
of their cotton or grain. Bascom
Truitt had an armful of the snowy
staple. "Thar's a whole gang o' ten
wagons from: beyant the Tennessee
line," he said to Kenner. "They, want
to know what'a yore beat figure."
Kenner pulled Jthe wads apart at the
window and answered:
Seven-eighths Is the best I kin do.
Bas. If they take my offer git 'em
to drive it up to the aide door. I've
rented space fer 500 bales here.
I hope they ain't water packed or got
any dead niggers stowed away. In 'em.
Slavery's over, an' we never did buy
'em -by the pound nohow."
Truitt smiled.
"They'll" let you have it" he said.
They want to tank up an' go back
home."
He was turning away when Hanks
detained him. "Thar's several In that
gang that owe me fer supplies," be
said, pulling out his bunch of notes.
Bas, ell 'em I'm prepared to cash
the'r checks."
All right Mr. Hanks," said the long
mountaineer, "I'll tell 'em."
Kenner went out ta receive the cot
ton, and Hillyer followed to indicate
the space Kenner ' was to. use. This
left George Buekleyjand.theTiote'BhaT-
er alone together. George was -writing
when Hanks stood; up- and -leaned On
the desk near to him. He cleared his
throat and chewed his cigar for a mo
ment, then he said awkwardly:
"I hain't much of a hand to talk, but
I've been wantin to say some'n' to you
ever since, yore pa got in his trouble,
but somehow I -couldn't git to it I Jest
feel like tellin' yon that I'm yore friend,
an' ef it had been in my power I'd 'a'
helped you out o' all that mess."
"I thank you, Mr. Hanks," George
returned, with a flush of gratitude
Tm glad to know.' you felt that way."
-The old man coughed and stroked hia
beard with hbv scrawny hand. "I've
been watchin yore progress, George,
ever since Hillyer tuck you up. I
reckon I was more interested in it on
account o my bad luck with my own
boy. George, Bob hain't wuth his room
in hellrnur neverjwill be." -
George avoided the eye. bearing down
on him -when heanswered: '
"Of course I can't dictate to you, Mr.
Hanks," he ,aaId"cantiously,-"but I
think , you - are wrong about Bob. I

"He's always after me to put up the

sneered Hanks. "Nowj wouldn't I be

Kenner whistled softly, growled out
something to himself, and went out of

CHAPTER VI.
BUSY man can forget trouble
: much eaaler than an Idle one,
and the activity of his life dur
ing the week following hla fa
ther's conviction was a blessing to
George Buckley. Indeed, the first Sun
day afterward was a sort of critical
period, for every citizen of the place
who had any claim to respectability
put on his best clothes and attended
one of the six white churches; and out
hero knew that if he was to continue
to hold the position he had made for
himself in the social life of the village,
he must not appear to falter or to slink
Into retirement on account of what had
happened."
It was a bright balmy day, and
when he went down to the postoffice
after breakfast at the Hillyer he
found the usual group of idlers waiting
for the mail. There was a barber shop
next door, and it was thronged with
churchgoers being shaved and having
their boots polished. . George bowed to
several of his friends and acquaint
ances, but there was something within
him. that -made him shrink from a
closer contact with any of them, par
ticularly as he fancied he noted on
their faces expressions of a sympathy
that was galling to hla sensitive spirit
so .wben.h.e had taken his mail from
the little, glass faced lock box, instead
of pausing to apeak to them he busied
himself with looking over the letters
and turned down, toward the ware
house." One communication was -from
a -confidential broker, informing Hill.
