In Sanmon he tho:ight he recoginized twin gifts; a spark of a genius too rare to be al Imevod to tlicker out, and a potentiality 1for conistructive work among his own people, which needed for its perfecting oily eduation alid experience.

"I reckon ye aims ter be Ifriendly, all right," was his conservative re sponse L1,e piainter went on eai ;ustly: "I realize that I am urging things of W ..,it iour people dlsal rov\e, but it is c..., b,-cause they misunuerstand that trey do disapprove. They are too clo.-e, Samson, to see the purple that moun tains have when they are tar away. 1 want .,uu to go where you can see the purple. If you are the sort of man I til,., you won't be beguaied. uu won't itse your loyalty. You 'aon't be siiaaacl ot your people." "I reckon I wouldn't be ashamed," said the youth. "I reckon there hain t no better folks nowhar. "I'm sure of it. There are going to be sweeping changes in these moun tains. Conditions here have stood as immutably changeless as the hills themselves for a hundred years. That day is at its twilight. 1 tell you, I know what I'm talking about. The state of Kentucky is looking this way. The state must develop, and it is here alone that it can develop. Here are virgin forests and almost inexhaust ible coal veins. Capital is turning from an orange squeezed dry, and cast ing about for fresher food. Capital has seen your hills. Capital is inevitable, relentless, omnipotent. Where it comes, it makes its laws. Conditions that have existed undisturbed will vanish. The law of the feud, which militia and courts have not been able to abate, will vanish before capital's breath like the mists wlhen the sun strikes them. Unless you learn to ride the waves which will prc-sently sweep over your country, you and your peoplle will go under. You may not realize it, but that is true. It is written.' The boy had listeneA intently, but at the end hlie smiled, and in his explres ionI was somethiiing of the soldier who secnts battle, not without welcome. "I reckon if tlhese here fellers air a-comin: ulp here Itr run things, at' dro\wned out mny ollis, hits a rightl good ri'a:'on fler tee tLr slay here-au "fy staying here, you can't hellp them.

'lhing. nas :stood here like they is now f.lr a 1un'dred years. 1 roekon we kin keop li'a that-a\way t'efor a spell longer.' iut it was evident that Samson vas:; ar..uig agaLinst his own belicl; that he vwas trying to bolsiter upl his resolu tiun and impeached loyalty, and thlat at heart he was sick to be up and g~o ing to a world which did not despise "eddication." After a little, he waved ;I.s hand vagueiy toward "down be low." ' Ef I went down thar," hlie questioned sldldenl' 'nd irrelevantly, "would I he\' tar cut my ha'r?" "M:y dear boy," laughed Lescott, I can nitrmduce you in New York studios Sto many distinguished gentlemen whoi would feel that their heads had been shorn if they let their locks -get as short as yours. In New York, you might stroll along Broadway garbed ii turban and a burnouse without great ly xciting anybody. I think my own hair is as long as yours." "'ccuse," doggedly declared the mountaineer, "I wouldn't allow nobody ter make me cut my ha'r." "Why?" questioned Lescott, amused at the stubborn inflection. "I don't hardly klnow why-" He paused, then admitted with a glare as though defying criticism: "Sally likes lilt that-away-an' I won't let nobody dictate tcr me, that's all." The leaven was working, and one night ~Sainson annoiunced to his uncle from the doorst-ep that he was "study in' rbtout goin' away for a sipell, an' Seeill the world." The cld nman laid down his pipe. He cast a roroachftif glance at the painte-r, which said clearly, though without words: ''1 have eitlo;Cl Id tItV lioit t you al i cffErd yc.u what Il had. y(t in my ohld ktno~ r !

Lescott felt reluctant to meet iSam host eyes at breakiast the next morn song shreading their reproach, but, it icer South harbored rnice.entet, lie nIt'st to conceal it, after the stoic's code. There was no hint of constraint In his cordiality. Lescott felt, however, that in Samson's mind was working the leaven of that unsgroken accusa ticn of disloyalty. He resolved to make a final play, and seek to enlist Sally in his cause. If Sally's hero-wor ship could be made to take the form of ambition for Samson, she might be brought to relinquish him for a time, and urge his going that he might reo turn strengthened. He went down to the creck at the hour when he knew Sally would be making her way thither "Ith her milk pail, and intercepted her coming. As she approached, she was singing, and the fian watched her from the dis tance. He was a landscape painter and not a master of genre or portrait. Yet, he wished that he might, before going, paint Sally. " "Miss Sally," he began, "I've discov ered something about Samson." Her blue eyes flashed omincusly. "Ye can't tell xie nothin' 'bout Sam son," she declared, "withouten hit's soniethin' anice." "It's something very nice," the man reissur-ed her.
