CHAPTER
XIII
Sentenced to Hang.
Sheriff Tuui Flowers nnl four nMe
tlrputles rixle out of Cartersvillo wry
eiirly uii the fallowing Mornlm:. Tlu-y
v-nt to tin' Ultf i'ine mountain country,
uini, by u sclioine that entailed soi.io
isl.rewduess tlie lart of the chief
ithcer, arrested two Halls ami two
ToiTt-ys on suspicion nnd took them
aay without trouble.
The two Halls ami tho two Torreys
were lodged in tho CartersIl!e juil
and offered their liberty and exonera
tion from all blame In the dynamltlm:
affair if they would jrlve the names
v.f the other Kullty parties nnd appear
ajiHlnst thetn. Tho mountaineers de
clared stoutly that they knew nothing
whatever of the mutter, and when
lre;ure was applied they grow sullen
aud refused to talk at all.
it was plain to Flowers that they
did know something about It, and he
tiiuilly ordered that they bo kept In a
ell on a diet of bread and water until
their tviipues loosened. At which the
1 ; u 1 1 und Torreys swore loudly and
fwore that they would rot In Jail
tirf t unless their kinsmen came and
fhot up the town and liberated them
by forcl
"To me that is proof that you four
are guilty," grimly smiled the sheriff.
'And If your folks want-to try storming-
the Jail, let them. A full com
pany of militia can be rushed here
within on hour, at any time, and we'll
k'lve your folks all the fun they want."
It may bi recorded that the four
hlllmen never confessed.
Iilll Dale, closely sldowed by one
lunky Samuel Heck with his Inevitable,
ter-rendy rifle, went among the work
ers with a cheer that he did not feel.
For Caleb Morelnnd was In Jail, and
Caleb Morelnnd was Innocent. I'.ut
there was one sincere delight fr
Dale: Hayes was driving the little
railroad ahead with all his might and
all the might of his men. Hayes was
In high favor with those under him;
they worked even harder when he was
absent than they worked when he was
standing over them. .
The days ran on, and there was ne
Blgtx of, a hostile demonstration from
the Halls and Tnrreys. Judslfi? from
l.ppeurances, they were wholly satis
tied with Caleb Moreland's being in
JaH.
Henderson doff bad disappeared.
Dale hoped that he was rid of the man
for all time, but he wasn't. ("!T was
not so coulldent as was Major Uradley
that he could establish his innocence
In the matter of tho dynamiting of the
two buildings and the trestle. He
wished very much to steer char of
arrest, for reasons f his own. and he
was biding his time In a little town
la uesteru North Carolina. When the
dynamiting affair bad blown over, be
would go back and try again, perhaps
by an altogether new scheme, to get
himself into possession of tlie More
land coal.
Then there came to tho neighbor
hood a man whom no Morcland, and
none of the Llttlefords, had ever set
eyes upon before. He was a very un
couth mountuln man, with long black
hair and shaggy beard; his clothing
was outlandish and ragged. He had
not much to say; there was about
him, somehow, an air of mystery.
Two days after his arrival, In the
afternoon, the stranger met Dale mid
way between the Halfway switch and
the opening of the coal vein, ' and
stopped him with an unpraised hand.
. "Do you know good coal when ye
see It?" he drawled.
"Why?" asked Dale, on his guard.
The stranger looked sharply in all
directions, as though he wished to
make sure that no person was within
earshot of them. Evidently satis
fied, he drew from a trousers pocket
a shining black lump of coal, which
he held out for Dale's inspection.
"What do ye think o' this here?" he
wanted to know.
Dale took the lump and examined
It closely. It was apparently as good
as the Morcland coal, which had sent
the expert Hayes Into raptures. Dale
then looked closely at the stranger.
He appeared to be honest; his gaze
was steady, and seemed very Inno
cent. 1 ,
"Where did you get this?" Dale
asked.
The alert eyes narrowed. "Do ye
think this here vein you're n-flxin' to
mine Is the only vein In the whole
country?"
"Where did you get this?" Dale re
peated. "Do ye think," drawled tho other,
-at I'm plumb fool enouch to give
my find away fo' nothln'J J been pore
nil my life, mister l" ;
-How ntn I to know," frowned Dale,
that you've really got a find?"
-Ye'd believe yore own two eyes,
wouldn't ye?"
"Yes," Dale agreed, "I'd believe my
own two eyes, of course. What's your
name, and where arc you from?"
"What do I git outen It? I don't
own tho mountain It's In, but it shore
can be bought fo' fifteen cents a acre.
And nobody knowa about It but Jest

this here Moreland vein. t"o.
do I It outen It, n.Uter?''
Tho mountaineer seamed more hon
est than ever, but Dale was still on
his guard. He aked again:
"What's your name, and where are
you fri'in?"
This lime the answer came readily:
".My name it's Walt Turner, arid I'm
from Turner's Laurel. Madison county,
state o' Nawth Ca'lir.er. I'.ut my find
It ain't now bars clost to home. 'Tain't
no more'n about two hours o' walkin'
from right here, mister. Kf you'd jet
up and go along wi' me, I'd show it to
ye."
Dale considered. There might be a
considerable vein of this new coal.
Kven if he was sent to the state p ni
tcntiary for a term of years, H; es
was entirely capable of carrying on tlie
milling operations.
"I'd lihe to take my mining man,
Hayes"
"No!" quickly objected Walt Tur
ner. "I don't want nobody eNe to
know whar it's at but Jest jou and
me. That away, ye see, ef I'm treated
crooked I'll know cdzactly w ho done it
and I'll shore git you! I'.ut 1 heerd
tell' at you was pow'ful square, mis
ter." "Could I get back here before night
fall?" Turner's eyes lighted. ".Shore!"
"Then lead the way," ordered Dale.
Walt Turner from Turner's Laurel,
Madison county, state of North Caro
lina, crossed tho little creek on stones
and went straight to the northeast,
mining tho Hall settlement by a good
mile, and hard on his heels followed
tho Morcland Coal company's stalwart
general manager.
The way was exceedingly rough.
Tiie two men climbed rugged cliffs,
threaded dense thirkots of great laurel,
mountain laurel, sheep laurel, and
huckleberry bushes. They were oiic
hour In a stretch of woods where the
hemlocks, poplars and hickories stood
so thickly that the interlacing branches
overhead shut out cumpU fely the light
of the sun and half tie light of day.
rearing a panther, or a wildcat. Dale
kv'pt. his revolver lo'isened and ready in
Its holster. Walt Turner arr. d him
self with a iong mhu for snakr.-, la:
said; and then he prned It by hilling
u rattier that had eight rattles to its
tail.
Hut they travdcl rapidly, notwith
standing the fact that t!;-- going was
diihcult; and two hours after the be
ginning of the little journey Dale saw
before him a small and almost circular,
level-bottomed basin walled in by iov
cliffs. A small creel: tan thlo;;j;i thia
basin and made two easy ways of en
trance. In the hollow they saw clump,
of laurel and huckh-beiry biisl.e. and
wild grasses knee high; town? 1 tm
center stood a solitary big and gnarled
black walnut tree.
They entered at the point at which
the creek ran In, and went to the wal
nut tree. There Turner halted and
faced HIM Dale with a p'-cuiiar glint
in his ojes. Dale w:ij looking at the
rugged walls of stone, and nt the
thick green forest that rose above
them; be was marveling, as ui!y a
true lover of beauty can marvel, at
the wonderful grandeur of It all.
Walt Turner, of Turner's Laurel,
opened his slit of a mouth and spake,
"Here's tho kitty!"
Dale was brought out of his en
joyment most rudely. From behind
clumps of laurel nnd huckleberry
bushes, from the tall grasses, from
everywhere It seemed fronv nowhere
there sprang dozens of Halls and
jorreys witn rities In , their hands!
Hill Dale had walked, as gently as a
kitten, straight Into a trap.
His right hand moved toward tho
butt of his revolver, then dropped
r &k
"What
What
I" . V 'l
Eill DjIo Had Walked, as Gently as
a Kitten, Straight Into a Trap,
at his side. h .as fooli-Ii, worse
than u-ele -s, to show l''u; dozens
of rides wre staring at him with the'r
frowning. murdTous eyes, an 1 tlieir
bullets would riddle him if he sh.i.vcd
light. IK ghmced toward Walt Tur
ner, kinsman of the Halls.
Turner was laughing openly. 'Tore
lit tii- kitty:'
"If ever I hae the char.ee," mut
tered Hill Dale, "I'll thrash you for
this cute little joke of yours."
"Vou won't never have the chanst,"
laughed Walt Turner.
The Halls and the Totreys began
to (love jn on all sides, and a solid
ring of dark and for the most Dart
boarded, wickedly triumphant faces
formed Itself around Dale. Adam
Hall's father, the acknowledged leader
of that band of cutthroats that was
now the Hail-Torrey faction, glared at
Dale with black eves that were filled
with the lire of intense hatred; then
he seh'.od Dale's revolver ami thrust
It inside the waNt-l and of his worn
jean trouseiv. Dale felt t!:a grip
of rough hands n ids shoulders and
arms. ji,. fully nalivd his great
danger; but he stnno to keep all signs
of fear out ef his countenance, and
he was not unsuccessful.
"I presume this is what you call
taking the law into your own hands,
i-m't it 7" be said w ith a smile that
was forced.
'T.dznctly!" snapped old Hall. "We
ketched yo fo' tho law, and we held
ye fo' the law, and we turned yo over
to the law; and 'en, by gonnics, the
law turned o hose the very nest
day! And 'en the shurltT he comes
out here and arrests four o' u! lit
the law won't try y and punish w
fo' a-shootin' my son Adam in cold
bhod, by gunnies, we'll try e and
punish jo fo' n-doin' It. Hut ye
needn't be sheered Iiolie at ail. Ve're
plumb si. cue to git jeMlco. I'll prom
ise ye Je-tice."
"Vou'e evidently oei looked the
fact that another man confessed to
tho killing, and that that was why
they liberated me," said Dale.
"It's some cus-ed frame-up," snarled
the leader of the gang. "No man on
earth don't like no other man well
enoii-h iv that. Asides, you're tho
one 'at killed my son Adam, by goto
iiies-, ;t 1 1 1 1 you're tho one 'at must suf
fer fo' it. liighl here onder this here
warnut tree we're a-goin' to hold co'te
and have yore trial, by jedge and jury,
and jou'Il shore git what's a-comm'
Hill Dale cut in with some bitter
ness: "And you'll be the judge, and
jour plans have already been laid, and
I'm to be hanged by the neck until
lead; eh? Well, you'll pay dearly for
it, I promise you. We always have
to pay for what wo get, you know.
The Morehmds and tho Llttlefords will
be quick to settle the account. Vou
know that."
"No." old Hall disagreed hotly, "I
don't know that!"
He turned to the others.
".Set down, boys. It's iho same price
as standin'. The jury will p lease set
over thar," pointing to his right. "The
pris'ner and his gyards will please set
right over thar," pointing to his left.
"The hon'rablo jedge, which same is
me, will please set right thar," indi
cating n spot at the base of the gnarled
walnut. "The rest," ho finished, "will
set anywhar they d n pleases. Set
down, men."
His orders were obeyed. Dale found
himself sitting on the ground between
two pairs of mountaineers and facing
a lino of twelve mountaineers the so
called jurj-. To Ids left was the self
appointed judge, and to his right
lounged a score fr more of men whoso
attention vns then being turned to
ward a jug of fiery new whisky that
had never been near to a revenue
stamp or anything else that was hon
est. The Jug traveled rapidly from
one hairy mouth to another.
Old I '.all passed tho jug to a mem
ber of the "jury," and announced:
"Well, dammit,- co'te's open now."
"Kitty, kitty, kitty!" taunted Walt
Turner. 'Tore little kitty!"

John Alvin, the
Ex-Convict
By WILLIAM TALL
( i), iJil. Wtiti'ru wM aT I'ul.-n )
Tell j ears ill prison take a good deal
out of a man's life that can mer bo
replaced or made up again, nod when
.John Alvin found the gates of the
state penitentiary barred behind him
Instead of in front of him, h" felt
acutely the gap that had to be bridged
betw een the A 1 111 of 1111, the young
bank cashier who had Hung his firm's
money Into the bottomless pit ol
speculation, and the Alvin of l'.rjl,
prematurely bowed, embittered by
brooding over his planned revenge,
and walking with the peculiar gait
which made him the object of suspi
cion to every passing policeman.
He had a new suit, of fairly good
blue serge, a liew hat, a new pair of
.shoes, and fifty-one dollars In Ids pock
et, besides a ticket for Cranston.
I'.ut Alvin was not going to Crans
ton. He was going to Mjrtle, 1' h )
miles in tho opposite direction, and he
had asked for a free tlckit to Crans
ton to blind the spies of Howell, ills
enemy. He meant to kill Howell, and
thus to wipe out the disgrace which he
bad brought upon him. What happened
after that he did not care. There was
no one to whom lie mattered. His
mother might hae cared, but Alvin
was confident that she was dead. It
was ten years since she bad seen or
written to him in brief, since lie i
tued the penitentiary. And a moth
er's anger seldom lasts ten years.
All the way In the train to Myrtle,
Alvin was busy bridging over the
hiatus in his life. He bad been just
an ordinary clerk In the bank in hi
home town, engaged to an ordinary
girl who, nevertheless, seemed very ex
traordinary in his eyes. He was jus;
a weak, foolish hoy who, believing that
ho saw a short cut to wealth, had
played with the bank's money and !ot.
Howell, tho director, bad prosecuted,
and, having considerable lii'lm-nee, had
obtained for Alvin the sentence which
he had heard with dismay and terror.
Ten years to expiate for the theft t
ten thousand dollars! Why, he was
not getting a thousand a year in the.s"
far-off days when ho was engaged to
Isabel!
Hut Alvin was not going to kill
Howell for that. He was going to kill
him because lie had afterward mar
ried Isabel. That was the barb, that
the secret of his Incredible indictive
ness ; He had never suspected a rival
in the smooth, plausible bank director.
It was strange how little Myrtle hud
altered. When Ahin descended at te
station be noticed two or three new
blocks of buildings that had not been
ertoted before; otherwise the streets
were much the same. Nobody i-eei g
id zed the dapper young bank chuk it
tho gray-haired man who strolled uv
the high street, though Alvin kicw
several of them. He guessed thai
llowell occupied one of those new
white fraioe structures that he could
see In the distance, very pretty in their
groves of shade trees.
And Dabel was seated on the lawn,
right at the edge of the lawn, nnd-r a
tree, watching the passers!,.,- in hei
foolish, empty-headed way, and rook
ing. As ho approached, ho saw that
a boy some seven years old was stand
lng by her side and that anothei
sprawled at her feet. Her children,
evidently! He stopped; and suddenlj
the veil tliMt obscured his mind was
lifted, and with a sob he turned away
She had not reoog-dzed him.
It had grown dark when Ahin final
ly turned toward his enemy's house
He passed the little place of his birth
A light was burning in the parlor
When at last he crouched outside tin'
room and saw Howell, his feet In slip
pers, stretched out in a chair, reading
he forbore to fire. His hatred needed
the sight of the man to enkindle it
At last, almost reluctantly, ho raisei,
the revolver.
Just then ids arm was caught Iron

him. "Vou'vo come home, John ! 1

Then the mists lifted entirely, aim
suddenly ho understood that the most
precious love in all tho world was his .
and, having that, what did ho care foi

Ho felt his eyes blinded with tear
as lie slipped the pistol into his pocket
and clasped his mother in his arms.
