It -would have been Impossible for "him to believe Hint she win not sneak ing to lilni nH the would linc spoken to an old friend, nntl thta drew him to her. The Irritation of u short while beforo vtnt swept nwny. Ho found himself -telling her that he had fenrrd the would never remember him, and that she had made lilm very happy by coiulnp; back to apeak to him. "Ab If I could forget the first time I ever saw you!" she exclaimed, clasp ing her hands over her knee inul look singoutovcrtho stream. "I had actually given myself up for lost, Mr. Fanishnw. Jtclnff a man, It may not seem that you did much for me, that day, but I hnve seen thnt frightful bull In my dreams and heard his awful bellowing a thousand times. I remembered that he had gored n little boy almost to death the spring before aud when I sawhlui coming I simply could not run. Then I saw you rush Into the very arms of death and cnteh It by the horns. Ah, I hnto seen thut awful Htrupglc in my drrams, tool You don't know how ter rible It was; the veins of your face nud neck stood up like eords under the skin nnd your eyes nearly left their rockets. Once your foot slipped and I screnmed as you wentdown. I thought It wnsutl icr then, but you held onto his horns and when ho thing up his head he raised you. Then I raw the gleam of n Act purpose In your eye as you slonly bneked him to the big stick near by and then I saw you grasp It nnd bent him ofT." She paused out of brenth. she had spoken so rapidly. ''1 sec you htno not forgotten," he laughed, modestly. "My arms ached for a week after thnt. I don't think I ever gave my muscles a grcntcr test." She gnzed n. him admiringly. "I think a strong, munly man is God's best creation" her tour was nlmost reverent. "No, I hnve not forgot I never shnll forget thnt you offered your life a readily ns Cnpt. Winkle" (she sneered slightly) "Mould lnmd me n glass of wine. You were so exhausted afterwards that you could not speak nnd yrt you helped me over thnt high fence; I know you were exhausted, for you sunk down und could not rise." Konald Hushed slightly. "I hoped you would forget thnt," he said. "It is what I wnnt to remember most," the girl declared, "becnusc It proves how very much you did for me." Her voice was low, and it quivered as If strong emotions were working In her breast. The branches of the trees were moving overhead, and a shaft of nhlft Ing sunlight fell on her glorious, gold en brown hair. The brcczccomingfrom thu east brought the strain of it plan tation melody sung by the negroes working In one of her father's cotton fields. For one Insiant the eyes of these two met, and then, like n man in a bliss ful dream, he turned and picked up his rod. Ills cork was under water and he could sec the slack line being drawn here and there. It was a flue trout ii'iuf he laughed merrily us he drew it nut of the water. She sprang up and stood by him as he took it from his hook and put it into his basket. "I nm afraid 1 am disturbing your port," she said, tentatively. "You sco you have given me good tuck," he made nnswer. "I hnve wnnted nnothcr talk with you fofn long time." She cast a glance In the direction of her party. "I pre sume I ought to join them, but I have really not snld nil 1 wished. It seems naif n lifetime since we met." Later thnt day he actually shuddered mor the boldness, of Ills reply to this, aiid j'tt I am convinced that It was one uf his remarks which she remembered In Its entirety. "The meeting In Itself named n -whole lifetime to me," he sutil, in a 'full, tense oict "the beginning, the end a hhort, beautiful life, for 1 thought I might ueiir, pirh.iu ticicr, we you ognlu." "You thought c fc'wuhl iiewr meet ngiiln!" she puku In slow surprise, an the Import of his words dawned m her. and then he saw her eyes go down, , ami n frrsh Mult of blttermn. pierced his heart. He knew she wan thinking of the gulf which lay between them. The look of pnlu which crossed her face nlmost distorted' It. Still It was only to add new character to her beauty. "I want to tell you more than all," she shrugged her shoulders, as If to shake off the unpleasant thought he had just read, "how very much good your example has done me. You re member you told rnc how you had learned French by studying It at night, and by hiring a man to work for you who spoke the language to you as you worked In the Held together, and tKat yoii used to walk three miles after supper to an old German, who spoke his tongdc to you nnd lent you the German classics? Well, when I got back to school and was tempted to neglect my studies I recalled thu ef forts, J ou were making to educate yourself nnd I became nshnmed of my clf and really I profited by your ex ample. I took two medals. I should never hnve won them but for you." Her companion laughed softly. "I did not have Mich good fortune In adding n teacher of Italian to my fac ulty," he (old he,r. "He was making his way dver the mountain with a hand organ aud n monkey nnd told me he was -out of money. My nnswer to him wa that I needed n man to pick cot ton and .that 1 would pay him the wages of an experienced hsnd If he would stay with me through the sea son. He readily consented nnd ctrry ' thing might have worked out- to the glory of my perseverance, but he In sisted an working with the monkey on his shoulder, and the two together proved such an attraction that all the negroes In my field gathered around him. I gave them the first day off, but when the next came and the pickers rim In holiday attire accompanied by hosts of neighboring negroes I railed h halt. I paid the stroller for the dnv be had not worked and dismissed him'. This Infuriated him, and I re ceived my first gratuitous lesion , Id Jtallant-a beautiful string of oathi which nay nerer be worth what 7 paid for tbcau" i ' Evelyn laughed Ions; and heartily. "You are the most original man I etcr nct,n she declared. "What funny experiences you do hnve. And did your Italian master forsake you?" Jtonnld laughed drily. "After he had got hi organ out of tho barn, he began to piny It In the main road, and It wasn't twenty minutes till every negro, young nnd old, for a mile around vras dropping his money Into the monkey's cap. The trouble is tho farmers In 'he nelirlilxirhond blnmcd mo with thu commotion nud called me a greater crank than e.cr." lhrre was a sound of some one coming through the woods, and I);iltl Fnnshnw, barefooted nnd contlcss, emerged carrying n gun and n.b.ig of game. Seeing them together he stared In astonishment, nnd shifting his gun awkwardly from one hand to the other he blurted out: "I didn't know any body was hecr; I was after a flyln' sipilrrcl In that, tree thnr." "1 wouldn't shoot here," his brolhrr ndmoulshcd. "There Ik n party fishing u lltlli; way down the stream." Without saying more the great Ill clothed fellow shouldered his gun nud plunged again Into the wood; this time headed for the main road. "It Is my brother David," explained llonnld to Evelyn. "I thought he was," she said, look ing down, "but I don't think he Is at all like you," nnd then It seemed to strike her thnt the comparison was too great n reflection on :nld to be quite polite, forhhe reddened. "So, wc are. decidedly unlike," he came to her relief. "In fnot, people nru constantly remarking that I nm un like my whole family." "l I think you an; very unlike them all," ngrced Etelyn "all thnt I have h.'.ppcued to sec." There the conversation paused. A merry laugh came from the ilshlng trio and then there was a low muttering of voices, In which Evelyn's name -was spoken by her sister. "I think they are wondering what has become of me," said the girl. "I'd better join them." He held the Incs which hung ocr tho path out of her way, nnd when she had gone he went back to his fish ing; but he found himself casting an unbailed hook into the water nnd hold ing his rod In tense, quivering hniidx. How much he had lived in those few moments! He took a deep breath. "My God." he said, "I don't know what litis como over mcl Am 1 mad? Am I fool enough to think to hope ?" He checked himself, and opened the law book he hod brought with him. Hut I (m I 'i tv fe&SiF "I DIDNT KNOW ANVUODY WAS iir.nn." though his eyes rested an the page for twenty minutes, he read not u word. The sun went down slowly; he saw Its light on the brown ride of u distant clilT creeping upward; he heard tho dis tant crack of his brother's gun, and, picking up his things, he started homeward. CHAPTER III. Out In the open ho niw David stand ing before (be horses ami trap of the Ilshlng party, holding his guu across the back of his briiwny neck, like the joke of n water-carrier. "Well, I'll be dumswheled," he raid, us Konald approached, "an' may I make the biggest crnckllu' In eternal lire, ef imt I'd n believed u brother o' mine could be seen in confidential confab with ii daughter of old Hasbrooke. If I'd a-lind a bottle nlong, I'd a-Morc it was a delusion, but I hain't tctehed n drop hence ten o'clock this mornlu'." Itonald hated himself for being obliged to innko excuses for her. "She simply happened nlong where I was fishing, Dave. I hope you won't talk about It, and cause any ruiscnu atructlon to be put un It." "You don't mean you an' her could git acquainted like that, In tech n short time," remarked David, ns they wulked ulong the sandy rood side by side. "I havo mot her once before u year ago. She was in llegnu's meadow, nnd got frightened at his bull. I drove the bull away, und she she stopped to speak to inn again to-day, That was nil." lint David's fancy for the novelty of the situation from his standpoint was not easily cooled. It was plain to Iton ald thnt he was still turning It out in his mlud by the low grunts and ex clamations of wonder that seemed jolt ed from his lips by hU heaty strides. "Well, I'm shore glnd of one thing," he said, finally, "and that Is that the colonel didn't happen ulong Just like 1 did." His brother knew what was coining, and. yet he asked: "Why, DnvcV" "Because the old codgcr'd 'a raised more sand n n Texas tornado, that's nit. Why, Hon, are you a blamed fool, with no more sense than a last veer's bird nest? Don't yon kuow nobody by tho name o' Fanshaw never stood on u level with them sort o' folks? Ef I went up thnr on business, or ma, or pa or either of the gals went to sell 'em eggs or socks, wouldn't we go to the back door, like ull the rest of our sort? Why, Hon, Jest now you was a settln' crots'le ggeil on the colonel's piazza a binoklu' one of hbt 'sergara like a priv ileged character, Ha, ha, dou't know how It knocked the wind out of mo I" Itonald, his face durk end his brow lowering, found hlmiilf reduced to say ing: "I hope you won't mention It nt home, Dave." His brother stared at him curiously, "You know I an hold my tongue," he said. "I wouldn't go round thootln' oft my mouth about a thing like that for anything. The colonel would shoot the top o'my head oft) he's a wheel hots, I tell you." Itonald brought htm to a stop In the center of the road. , "Dave, do you renlly think we arc to degrnded ns that?" Thu burly fellow shrugged his shoul ders. "Wc nro ns good, I reckon, us the gen eral run of our own sort," was his nn swer, nnd ho smiled so broadly thnt n brown tobacco quid showed between his big jellow teeth, "but, ns the fellow said: 'Dang the. sort.' I reckon the Almighty made us out o' tcraps when Ho was too tired to watch whnt He wns dolu'. I reckon wc nro sonio bet tcr'n a carnllcld nigger, but we'd jest be blind to our own Imperfections cf wu didn't udmlt Hint thnr Is folks us much hlghcr'n us ns wc nrc hlghrr'n tadpoles." "That Is a dangerous philosophy, David," protested Itonald, deeply stung by his brother's words. "If you ever ex pect to rise In the world, jou must re memberkeep thu Idea nlways beforo vou that a mini in what he makes him self." "Shucks, thnr luiln't ft word o' thnt so," grunted Dald. "Col. Hasbrooke Is our big man, an' he hain't what he made hisse'f. Ills father owned noil slaves, nil' land enough to start u re public, on, an' government bonds, an' storehouses In Atlanta, nu' whnt not. Xo, the colonel is n sample o' what his daddy done fur Mm; you can bet juru sweet life on thnt t An' as fur thnt mat ter, me'n you is Jest whut.Inde Fnn shnw hns made out'u us. I tell you, blood hns got n lots to do with It. Col. Hnsbrookc's father fit In the Mexican war, an' the colonel stuck hirsr'f up to bo shot nt in defense u' his niggers In the civil wnr, but .lade Fanshaw 'h daddy beforo Mm wns sent up fur house breaklu, an' Instead o' shoulderln' his musket to drive the jelpln' Yanks nut o' tho south Jadu hid In the mountains up In Tennessee, nn' turned bush whacker, nn' lived on whnt he could rob front helpless women un' chlldcru. I hope nobody round liver won't II ml ull thnt out. We've got black eye enough, as It Is." "1 ntwajH try to forget that," sighed Konald. "Ah. my honcj!" ejaculated the un couth philosopher, in n triumphant tone, "but Col. Hasbrooke don't try to forget uothlii' his daddy did. Not on yore tin type! I've heerd he hns his pn'f. uniform In u big glass case, an' a picture of Mm on a Iiosd In full tilt after tho enemy. They say the old feller lit like a tiger cub with one .veer shot off as cUnu ns n hain't, belly, an' u piece of canuou-hall as big nx a saucer 111 hU shoulder; they say Jest ns he wns ex pi r In' a feller bent over Mm an' his Inst kick landed In hltbrend-basket, an' doubled Mm up like a raor. Ah, come off, vou needn't argue with me, Hon!" The listener to this frowned, as he swung his basket to and fro, but he did not want to be misunderstood by Ids brother. "What 1 mean. David, Is that If .1 young man really hns It In him, and will study hard enough, he can climb to the highest rung of the ladder of suc cess." Dave laughed loudly for fully a min ute, then lie snld: "Your ladder would have to be stout enough to hold up all creation, fur thu minute jou begun to mount all four uf themoverw eights ut our house w ould start nftcr .vou, nn' they'd stick to you, cf they snvv jou on the vlimli they would cf they fell an' smashed the'rseN into a jelly. Huh! I'd 'a' run for president myself long ago, but 1 don't like thu Idea o' them three in tow neck an' short sleeves helpln' mc'n my wife shake hands in the while house with the whole shootln'-mateh i big Ikes." Itonald gave up the discussion. Ills brother's coarse allusion to his mother and sisters failed to appeal to his sense of humor. He was thinking of Evelyn Hasbrooke'rt patrician feat urcsnml lithe form of her exquisite nllnemcnt and delicate sympathy. II) this time the two brothers had almost reached their home; thc.v could see th- sagging roof of their father's house. Half u mile fur ther on In the gathering dusk loomed thu white walls and lighted wludowHof Carnlelgli. At this point the dull, sti-ad.v bent irf horses' hoofs fell on their cars. "It's the Hasbrooke gang," an nounced David. Kiiuald'rt heart sank like a plummet. He had hoped to reach home before the party overtook him. He reproached himself for the feeling, but he shrank from being seen by Evelyn nnd her friends In company with otic as Ill clothed as his brother. David stepped to the side of thu road and stood open mouthed, to sec the trap and horses pats, but Konald, without looking back, simply kept on his way. He had made up his mind that he should not doff his hat, as he knew David would, like the peasant ha was. He heard n woman's voice singing n plantation melody, ac companied by a mellow bass. He de cided thnt tho woman's voice had a huish quality which could not have be longed to Evelyn's, although he had never heard her sing. Thu vehicle was Just behind Mm. He heard his broth er shouting out n shrill warning, and was turning to see what had occasioned It, when the horses brushed by him, the front wheel of the trnp stHklug the hand which held the basket, dashing It to the ground und scattering Its con tents over the sand. He heard Evelyn scream out in terror from her seat be sldu dipt. Winkle, w ho was driving, anil saw her desperately pulling on his arm. Tho vehicle drew up a few yurds away, nnd It looked ns If the driver wus going to offer soniu apology, but see ing that Itonald was still nu ills feet, Winkle vigorously applied the whip to the horses and drove on rapidly. David ran up and began to pick up the fallen articles. "Uy doe, you had n close shnve," he grunted. "I Mowed oncu you was a dead goner.'
