Hanks looked at the fire. His eye,
usually a .dead thing, held a twinkle,
or was it only the reflection of the
flames in the chimney? .
"I sorter like bis start," he admitted.
"I was always afeard o' the Influence
o' that triflin' set o' boys he was runnin'
with, but today Bill Bogle the wust
of the lot drawed up a chair in front

ag'in, one o' the clerks that Sandford
used to let do purty much as he liked
was startin' to light a cigar behind the
show case, an' Bob yanked 'im up too.
'Cayn't have no smokin' in the house.
Jim,' he said politely. TVe sell fire

careful. Besides, it don't look right
durin' business hours, an' ef we was to
ketch fire an' burn out we'd want "to
collect our insurance without beln' ac
cused o' carelessness.' "
"Yes," Hillyer said, his amused glance
on the face of his wife, "I believe Bob's
goin' to do all right. My daddy used
to think I was dead laxy beca'se I
didn't like to chop sprouts In the mid
dle o' August as well as I did to play

his fun an' the ball game mine. This
here's Bob's fun, an' the only way to

go to sleep sellin' supplies on time fer
anybody but yoreself, but yo're wide
awake as it is. The truth is, you never
tried to find out whar Bob's talent lay.'
Hanks drew himself up. -He had not
smiled during bis visit, and be rarely
made concessions. He did both now
rather sheepishly.
"Well, I've come over to tell you that
I'm goin' to take up that note," be said.
What note is that?"
'Why. the one Bob give you. I rec
kon I'm -able to stand the the resk as
well as you are."
"Well," and Hillyer smiled again at
his wife, "I think you've got a lot o'
gall to come tell me a thing like that.
When did I ever ask you to give up a
good loan to me?"
"I think so myself," joined in Mrs.
Hillyer, who had caught her husband's
drift "Why, Mr. Hillyer was Jest say
in' t'other day that it was mighty nigh
impossible to put money out whar It

business."
Hanks shrugged his shoulders. His
small smile had vanished; he looked
shrewd.
"I reckon Fll have to give Bob the
money, then, an' tell 'im to pay it off.
I don't want 'im to be owln' anybody."
"Oh, that s entirely a different mat
ter," smiled the merchant "But you
kin bet I ain't a-goin' to transfer any
note without knowin' how It would
suit my customer."
"An' that's nothin' more'n fair," said
Mrs. Hillyer as Hanks rose and start
ed to leave.
The next morning at the warehouse
Hanks seemed somewhat preoccupied.
Presently in a lull in business and con
versation he turned to Hillyer. "I I
mentioned that note to Bob this morn
in at breakfast an' what you reckon
he said? Huh!"
"How do I know?" replied the mer-
chant.

Hillyer shook his head, a pleased ex-

CHAPTER XI.
lAJOR CRANSTON lived in an
old fashioned, roomy house at
the end of the widest and long
est street Darler afforded. The
exterior of the house was not very" at
tractive, though It stood on a spacious,
well kept lawn, but It was equipped
throughout with fine old furniture the
Cranstons had brought from Virginia
There were rare pieces of solid ma
hogany in the big parlor, a piano which
was a relic of the days of Washington.
and sofas and chairs quite as ancient
in appearance. On the white plastered
walls hung family portraits in massive
gUt frames. -
It was one Sunday night about the
middle of November; Lydla had retired
to ber rdom and the major was reading
a newspaper In the lamplight before a
cheerful fire in the sitting room when
Mrs. Cranston came In from the parlor.
"Well, you may be satisfied. Major
Cranston,'' she said, "but rm not-"
"Oh, you : are .notf - Whar s wrong

looked nt at her Inauiringly. . -
"WeH, I don't like the way Lydla la
rioinor at all.", replied the laay.
- whf she done now?" The major
poke with Just a Uttie irritation, ior
he was interested in the poUtlcal new
ht liad been reading. - -' .
. "She hasn't done anything thafs the
trouble, answered Mrs. Cranston. "If
she only would do and be like she was.
to Richmond I wouldn't care, but she's
as different as can be."
f "Why, I'm sure the child seems wall'
eStwgh to me," grumbled the major.
"Well enough She's depicture of
health. But are you blind? Can't you
see An inch before your nose? Dont
you remember how she cried when we
moved away from Richmond, and all
the visits she promised Kitty Cosby and
the other girls back there? Then you
remember how she moped about the
first month down here, and the fun she
made of this place and the people. But
now look at her. She's tickled to death
over everything here. What do you
think It means, sir?".
"Oh, -she wassiek and tired of that
silly social set up there," said the ma--jor,-"and
this simple, healthy life here
in the mountains agrees with her, as It
has with me and you. I never knew
what a good appetite or a pleasant
night's sleep was till I" . . -; . , .

bet Don't you know Lydla never was
that way till George Buckley got to
coming here and bringing her books
and papers and going out with her."
"Stop!" Cranston's brow was clouded
over.- "Don't Insult your own child."
He stood up, his short legs quivering
with excitement "Do you think I'd

"There; Is no use waking up the serv

ston In-a tone modulated, to . that she
wanted him to use. "We don't 'want
any bloodshed; what we want la com
mon sense. I don't think there is much
danger so far. Girls will often allow 1
themselves to enjoy the admiration of
men they would not dream of marry
ing, and Lydla has too much family
pride to think of encouraging him to
any serious extent but -it is well to
take time by the forelock. I was
against letting him come here at all.
you know, but you said it would shock
the religious folks In the place or us
to try to establish social lines when
he stood so well, and"
Til send her off tomorrow!" cried
the major, still excited, his voice rising
high and cracking.
No,; you won't unless sou really
want to drive her the wrong way,"
sold Mrs. Cranston. "I've seen many
unhappy, rplg ma ted marriages made

always said I'd act differently if it
came to me. Lydla would get as bead
strong as a bull if we showed her that
we were trying to drive her, and oppo
sition naturally makes a girl think
more of a man who is unfortunate.
No, we must simply go on as if we
never imagined she could bemean us
by marrying a man of that kind. She's
not a fool; she may admire George
Buckley and be sorry for him in his
trouble, but she'll think several times
before she marries him if we simply
go on as if we are trusting her to pro
tect our family name."
The major sat down. "I guess you
are right" he said more calmly, "and
I'm not really afraid when I think
about her pride and all she has in her
favor. Why, she could take her pick
of the whole country. Governor Tel-
fare is simply crazy about her an' has
plenty of money. Do you suppose
Lydla or any girl, as for that could
resist the temptation to be the mistress
of the executive mansion on Peach tree
street and lead the society of Atlanta
to 'marry a penniless bookkeeper In a
grain warehouse and the son of
Shucks, if she had it in her, I'd disown

"Oh, she's all right" smiled Mrs.
Cranston, as if be had forced the ab
surdity -of her fears down upon her
by -his: warm words, "but we must
handle ber most carefully. I've' tried
making fun of her 'country beau,' as I
always call him to her, but I've never

She'd die before she'd let anybody
know how she felt about a matter of
that kind. I'll tell you what I'm going
to do. She has invited Kitty Cosby
to pay her a visit, and when Kitty

The' major resumed his reading, and
Mrs. - Cranston, went up the smooth,
winding stairs to her daughter's room.

loose over her shapely shoulder.

vors In thegerman with a lot of boys.
Oh, mamma," Lydla laughed, "some
times I'm awfully ashamed of having
done all that when when"
"When what darling?" Mra. Cran
ston's lips were compressed, ber eyes
fixed half fearfully on the speaking
countenance.
"When there are so many of Cod's
creatures here In their shells af pover

think I could, be perfectly happy if I
could only help those people in some
way. I want to teach them, to mconr
ace them, not to believe in their degra
dation. Mamma, Just the other day I
saw an old womanselllng eggs from
a wagon at the gate, and in the wagon
was her daughter, poorly dressed, but
her features were finely drawn, and
when I stopped to speak to them the
girl looked at me as if I were a prin
cess. Oh, mamma, that sort of thing
cuts me. I have not done anything to
deserve thatuind, poor thing, what has
she in store forher? Nothing but to
fall into the sort of life her mother is
leading."
"That's all true," agreed Mrs. Cran
ston, "but there are different grades of
society, and we can't alter the con
dition." Then the speaker's face be
came more rigid, ber tone teste and
tentative. "And the mixing of the
elements, my dear," she put In guard
edly, "sometimes produce sad com
plications. You remember how Hallle
Dunwoody married beneath her In
Lexington and that it actually killed'
her father, and, broke op. 4. happy
home?""
"That was awful, simply awful P re
marked Lydla. "You know I saw her
months afterward, and the noor
thing tried to keep me from recog
nizing ber. She told ra eh was try
ing to adapt herself to th ways of
her husband's family, but could not
do It Her husband meant well
enough, but even be seemed unable
to make it bearable for her."
Mra. Cranston sat perfectly still; she
seemed hardly breathing. She was
very anxious to have her next remark
seem casual.
I have never heard you aay befor
what you thought about that marriage.
dear, but I never thought Halli treat
ed her father and mother right"
7 No, she didn't" answered Lydla.
"Hallie knew the extent of her father
and mother's pride, and she had no
righF to crush it for ber own selfish
love. If she had sacrificed her own
desires, and even those ef her hus
band, she would have been happier
in the consciousness of bavins done
her duty. I don't think self sacrifice
has ever brought about bed results
In the long run."
Mrs. Cranston breathed freely. She
was all aglow aa she bent and kissed
Lydla good night
Going down to the major, ahe said:
"I've had a very, very satisfactory talk
with Lydla oh, no, not openly on that
subject !" she hastened to correct as
he raised his brows In surprise, "but
in a roundabout way. We need not
be afraid of her. If ahe cares par
ticularly for George Buckley she
doesn't know it and If she should
realize that she was drifting in that
direction she would pull herself up."
"Well, I'm'glad she's that sensible,"
said the major as his eye fell to the
paper and began to search for a re
membered paragraph. "I didn't think
she was a fool."
CHAPTER XII. v
ENNER was at the cotton com
press the next morning watch
ing the gang of negro hands
compress and load several car
K
of cotton to be shipped to New England.
This big piece of machinery and the ex
tensive sheds and platform surrounding
it belonged to Hillyer and stood direct
ly across the railroad tracks behind the
warehouse. . When a bale of cotton was
compressed there was a loud escape
ment of steam and a clatter of rough
shod feet as the negroes hastened to
bind and buckle the iron ties and truck
the bale into the open car.
"Look out thar, you trtflln" scamp V
