Thc Mountaineer's
? Dream
By HUGH A. C. WALKER
Tm air of sleepy quiet which had
brooded over the little valley
town for a year had changed to a buzz
of excitement Commencement was on
again at Watauga college; the town
was full ot enthusiastic alumni and
visiting friends from every corner of
the surrounding country.
It was on a different errand that
the two Arvey brothers ha*:
down from their home on Stump
House In their white-covered wagon.
Only a month before their father had
died, leaving his large family depend?
ent upon the two grown-up sons, and
they were at Watauga for the purpose
of straightening up his small business
affairs and making certain arrange?
ments concerning the management of
their little mountain farm.
This required only a short time,
however, and on Tuesday morning
they found themselves drifting with
the crowd toward the college, wholly
Ignorant of the exercises going on
there. The scene on the inside was
a revelation to both, for never before
had an Avery, from Stump House,
been within a college building. There,
upon the high old rostrum, sat the
young men of the graduating class,
clothed In their best, the center of at?
traction to all the vast assembly be?
low. One hy one they stood before
the audience, and with fervent, rustic
eloquence delivered their graduating
speeches, each of which called forth
enthusiastic applause, loads of flow?
ers, and a crash of discordant
musk from the noisy brass band
In the gallery. Then, when the
speeches were all over, the gayly be?
ribboned diplomas were handed to
the graduates by the president, after
which came more applause and an?
other rapturous burst of music from
the gallery. The scene?Impressive
to those who were most accustomed
to Watauga commencements?waa
one which remained forever fadr-Iess
In the memories of the mountaineer
brothels.
The Arveys' Journey homo that aft?
ernoon was an unusually quiet one.
Tor hour after hour neither spoke;
both sat gazing tn a kind of trance
upon the mountain scenery which had
been familiar to them from childhood.
No sound disturbed the stillness ex
cept the rumble of the wagon and
the hoof-strokes of the little mules
upon the flinty mountain road. It
was the older brother who broke the
silence.
'Tom," he said, "I'm gwlne ter
stan' on toot same platform some
day an' say my speech an' git my
paper."
"I've sworn the same. Ou.?." carno
the laconic reply; "the Arveye hev
got ter be heerd frum "
It was doubtless fortunate for the
brothers that they could not compre?
hend the obstacles that lay between
them and the doors of the college;
both had times of discouragement,
and It required the strongest
mination, combined with frequent
visits to Watauga for fresh Inspira?
tion, to keep them faithful. At the
end of three years, however, by per?
sistent labor and with the aid of the
teacher at Double 8prlngs, himself a
Watauga graduate, they had pre?
pared themselves for entrance lato
college
As it was found Impossible for both
to attend at the same time, the
rather delicate situation arose of
deciding which one should first enjoy
tbe coveted privilege.
'I s'pose, Gus, bein' the oldest, you
ought to be the flrst to go," Tom
suggested, rather reluctantly.
Hut Tom had not proven a very
fal farmer, and that was prob?
ably the reason for the plan proposed
by Ous
"No, Tom," he explained, "If you
go on now an' graduate you can
help me along a sight better. Be?
sides, I alw'ys seemed to have a
kind o' knack o' runnin' the farm;
you must go Drst"
So It was decided. On the flr't
day of October Gus carrier! Tom ar.d
his little handful of belongings down
to Watauga tn the wagon, and after
seeing bim properly settled In his
new world, turned his own face again
toward Stump House.
It was dark when the wagon rolled
Into tbe yard. After tbe mules had
been stabled and fed, Gus stood for a
few moments looking silently across
the mountains as the night slowly
felt around them and blotted them
from view. In the window of a
cabin across on Roundtop a red light
flickered, and there came to his ears
tbs sound of a girl's mellow contra!
to voice singing an old cor:,

said, with almost a sigh. Then he
walked slowly across the yard and
entered the house.

"Trying to cool off some, are yon?

"Well, no, slr, I wasn't here for

at the college building. In the road
B few steps away stood a wk
ered wagon to which two sturdy look

background beyond the college
stretched the dim outlines of the
Blue Ridge.
As the doctor showed no
tlon to move on, the strangerjaith an
air of deference, rose to hist ft?BJT*ajjid

the water-oak. The doctor
ued:
"You have never seen the build?

its architecture that Interests you?'
"Oh, yea, doctor, I ve seen !t a
good many times. To tell the truth I

used to think I'd come to school here
myself, but my dreams never did
come true Still, I love to stop here
an' watch the boys an' Just Imagine

The doctor's next step was to In?
quire the stranger's name, for he
had become deeply Interested In his
story.
"Arvey," came the ans i

within Its strong grasp the soft, white

"From 8tump House?"
"Yes, slr."
"Related to Tom Arvey that grad?

"You don't say so!" exclaimed the
old gentleman. "Why, I am truly
glad to know you. Mr Arvey. How
is Tom getting along? Tbe last news
I had of him he had gone ci'
soon after graduating?four years
ago It must be?"
"Yes," replied Arvey, "Tom went
west Just four years ago. I never
heard from him since he left; don't
even know If he's alive. He waa to
help me through college, but. poor
fellow, I don't know what's become
of him. lt's all right now. anyhow,

an' every time I come down this way
I set here an' Just look at the old
place over there. An', somehow, lt
alw'ys seems to make me feel better

The mountaineer shaded bil
with bis hand and looked at t'

the BoOega came the strait,
old song:
"Oh, he never cares to wander from
his own fireside" . . .
"Now I must get started for home,"
he said, "for late; good

A moment later a whip was cracked
over the heads of the little mules,
and the white-covered wagon waa
rumbling away toward the mountains.
