SYNOPSIS In the little village of Pine Knob, In the Ozarks, "Uncle Jimmy” Cartwright laboriously rides his mule towards Aon Haskel's house, speculating on the possibility of “refreshments”, when he comes upon Diane Carrol painting the landscape. Though born to wealth, Diane, like her late father, is indifferent to society. She is seriously interested in art and leading a useful life. Dian* accepted a friend's invitation to visit Wilderness Club in the Ozarks upon learning that she could paint there and do just as she pleased. “Uncle Jimmy” and Diane take to each other instantly. He is surprised, upon learning she is a New Yorker, to find her just like "home folks”. As they talk. Ann Haskel, a typical backwoods character, appears on a big bay horse. The old mountaineer informs Diane that Ann practically runs that part of the country Ann lives on a farm with her step-son. Jeff Todd, an “ornery cuss , and Nance Jordan, her housekeeper. Years ago, following the death of her first husband, Ed Haskel, Ann sent her young son. John Herbert, away. No one dared ask where or wny, but they remembered it was about that time that Judge Shannon, a family friend, stopped visiting. Later, Ann married Jerry Todd who was killed by a revenue officer in a bootlegging raid. "The revenuer he never told nobody what he knowed; he didn't live long enough”, said "Uncle Jimmy”. CHAPTER IV. There was something beneath Uncle Jimmie's simple words which caused Diane to look at the old mountaineer with a new interest. She had thought these people of the backwoods a poor, ignorant, spiritless folk—too shiftless and incompetent to do more than eke out a bare existence. And. in away. she was right. But she glimpsed, now, another quality of the backwoods character. Beneath the apparent apathy there was a quality as hard as tempered steel, with an indifference toward death which was startling. Casually she asked. “Were Ann Haskel's other husbands all killed by revenuers, too?” “No. One died in a fight over on the head of Snake Creek; one war took natchal—some sort of a fevef—nobody never rightly knowed jest what 'twar; another one died while he war in prison fer stealin' horses. Ed Haskel—John Herbert’s paw—he let a tree fall on hisse'f.” “It’s nice to know that most of Ann’s husbands died violent deaths, isn’t it?” murmured Diane. “One seems rather to expect it of them.” •‘Uh-huh—seemed more natchal to 'em after livin’ with Ann. I reckon.” “I suppose there are moonshine stills everywhere in these mountains?” Diane remarked, tentatively. "There are so many wonderful places to hide them, and since prohibition the business must be good.” Uncle Jimmie looked at her shrewdly. “1 reckon as how you-all at the Lodge ain’t havin’ no trouble gittin’ all the hard licker you can drink, be you?” “Not me, Uncle Jimmie,” laughed Diane. "I don’t happen to care for hard liquor, myself. You are right, though, there seems to be even more than an abundance." “An’ why shouldn’t thar be?” demanded Uncle Jimme, belligerently. “If a body plants a patch of cawn an' tends hit an’ the Lawd makes hit to grow fer him, hit’s his own cawn, ain’t hit? If a body takes that cawn what’s his’n to the mill on grindin’-day, an’ the mill turns hit into cawnmeal, an’ he makes cawn pone outen hit, ain’t he a right to eat hit an’ thank Gawd-a-mighty fer his daily bread? Wai, supposin’ a body takes his own cawn what the Lawd growed fer him, an’ feeds hit to his hawgs, don’t the Lawd turn that cawn inter hawg meat? Ain’t nobody but Gawd-a-mighty emdd turn cawn into hawg meat. I reckon. An’ ain’t that hawg meat what the Lawd made outen that cawn. the man’s own hawg meat when the cawn and the hawg war his’n? Can’t a man sell his own hawg meat, er eat hit. er give hit to his neighbors, er throw hit to the dawgs if he wants? Can’t a man do what he wants with what’s his’n? I’d sure admire to know if he can’t. An’ I'd sure admire to see anybody try to tell him he couldn’t. Wai, then, by G-e-e-rusalem-on-highl a body’s got a right to take his own cawn what the Lawd growed fer him, and’ Jet the Lawd turn hit into licker, same as if licker war sawn pone or hawg meat An’ a

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY. MAY 15. 1931.

eral eourt here late yesterday Charged with violating the World War Veterans’ act which limits compensation an attorney may collect In obtaining war risk insurance, Dinsmore wa» charged with having collected S4OO from Mrs. Mavel Brickert, sister of George Taylor, war veteran who died in March, iHI. Taylor held

body’s got a right ’fore Gawd-a-mighty to do what he wants with his own licker. Ain’t no law can stop a man doin' what he wants with his own; sich a law would be ag’in nature an* ag’in Gawd-a-mighty. Supposin' you war a Jew an’ hit war ag’in your religion to eat hawg meat; that wouldn’t give you no right to make a law that a Methodist era Baptist eouldn’t feedffiis own cawn to his own hawgs an’ do what he wanted with his own side-meat an' hams an’ sich. This hyear’s a free country yet—leastwise these hyear parts air, an* hit’s a-goin’ to keep on bein' free, too." “Help!” cried Diane. When Uncle Jimmie did not even smile she added, gravely, “I’m not arguing with you. Uncle Jimmie." “You’d best not," the old mountaineer retorted, grimly. “I sure do git het up ’bout sich things, an’ when I'm real hot I'm some dangerous.” Diane felt that in his last statement, at least. Uncle Jimmie had spoken the literal truth. “Mebbe you’re a revenuer yonrse’f, fer al I know,” the old man added. “You can’t never tell.” Diane laughed merrily. “Oh. come nowl You know you never beard of a woman revenuer.” “Thar’s wimmen everythin’ else these days,” he retorted, grimly. “They do say hit war the wimmen what made them fool licker laws, an’ if they war fools enough to make ’em, why wouldn't they be fools enough to try an’ make folks keep 'em? I've even hyeard tell of wimmen policemen, an’ wimmen jedges, an' sich, in the cities. I’d sure admire to see ary woman try to hold eourt in this hyear neck of the woods—less'n hit war Ann Basket” His eyes twinkled as he eyed Diane’s costume. “I’ve sure seed plenty wimmen a-wearin* breeches, an’ I’ve seed them Lodge wimmen a-wearin’ not much of anything when they war swimmin’ in the river—right with the menfolks, too. But, shucks! I know you couldn’t be no revenuer." he added, gently —“not with them eyes. You’re too kind an' friendly-like to go snoopin’ ’round makin' trouble fer poor folks what ain’t only usin’ what the Lawd gave ’em to use." “Thank you, Uncle Jimmie. I promise not to make trouble for anyone. But tell me. are there really any stills in this neighborhood?”. “That' sum is a party pitcher you’re aepairttin’," said Uncle Jimmie, thoughtfully. Diane laughed, "I’m asking you about stills.” Gravely the old backwoodsman returned. “You got education. What do you say, now: is this hyear old earth round er flat?” “Why—why the earth is round, of course!” “Uh-huh—l lowed you’d say that. What makes you think she’s round?” Diane offered the usual evidence. “Uh-huh. 1 reckon that’s what the books say, an' hit sounds that away to hyear you toll hit. but ’taint so. The earth ain’t round, she’s flat. She jest natchally can’t be round, an’ what’s more I can prove by the Bible she ain’t round.” “Oh. of course, if you can prove it by the Bible " “Wai, 1 sure can. Don’t hit tell in the Bible "bout the four angels a-standin’ on the four corners of th* earth?- Any dad-burned fool would know they couldn’t do that if hit war round." With this Uncle Jimmie arore to his feet and awoke Ahab by climbing into the saddle. With a preliminary jerk or two of the rope reins, nnd a vigorous thump of his heels which Ahab received with melancholy indifference, he said: “Me an’ the old woman would be mighty proud fer you to come an’ see us, Diane. Thar’s a heap of purty pitchers on Shady Creek that’s been a long time waitin' fer somebody to paint ’em. 1 know they’re thar right enough—an the different green*, the dark pines, the hillside rocks, the boulders in the creek, the dancin' shinin’ water, the sunpatches, an’ shudders—oh, I been a-seein' 'em all my days but 1 ain’t never before seed nobody what could write ’em down with them little brushes an’ paints like you can.” “Oh, thank yeu, Uncle Jimmie. I should lov* to. I just follow the trail, do I?" “Jest foller the trail, hit ain't more'n a mile from the Lodge.” When with reins and heel* he had at last aroused Ahab to such interest that the mule seemed actually on the point of moving, Uncle Jim-

n policy for SIO,OOO. The maximum fee under federal statute is $lO. Dinsmore admitted obtaining the S4OO, but said it was for oilier legal work in connection with release of Mrs. Bickert's daughter from the Indiana girls' school nt Clermont. *

mie leaned down from the saddle for a last low-spoken word: “If 1 war you. honey, I wouldn't be askin’ too many questions 'round these parts. Folks what don’t know you like I do mightn’t understand. Anu Haskel *h*'a jeat p'iaen on anybody what asks questions. An’ if Ann don’t take a likin’ to a body hit ain’t so easy to git along in this h’ ear neighborhood. Giddap. Ahab Go ’long. Body’d think you war aimin’ to stay hyear a-pesterin' Diane all day. During the days which followed, as she worked on her picture near the Haskel place, Diane often looked with speculative interest toward the big log house. She had felt that beneath the surface of Uncle Jimmie's talk strange things were hidden. What did it all mean ? Why had Ann Haskel sent her bny out of her life so completely? What had become of young John Herbert —the last of the Haskels? How had he lived ? What sort of man had he grown up to be—if he pad lived to grow up at all? What secrets were shared by Ann and her companion. Nance Jordan? Judge Shannon, who used to come into the mountain wilderness to hunt, but who came no more after the death of little John Herbert's father—where did he fit into the picture? What went on in the wild seclusion of those wooded hills so far from the thickly settled communities where representatives of the law stood on almost every corner and patrolled every road and street ? A multitude of secret interests —an army of men—might easily be concealed in those lonely gulches and eaves on the many hidden creelM and branches, nnd in the tiny obscure valley which were to be reached only by those who knew the scarcely visible trails. She felt something mysterious and furtive lurking in the forest about her, as one in a dark room might feel a sinister presence. Wary eyes seemed to be watching her from the leafy screen of trees and bushes. And every day she glimpsed in the forest—now here, now there—the strange woman on the big bay horse. Had Diane Carrol been given to indulging in nerves she would have fled as from a plague-stricken district But, being Diane Carrol, she went calmly about her work and. in spite of the old mountaineer’s friendly warning, asked questions They told her at the Lodge that Ann Haskel was a terrible creature —fearless, suspicious, eruel They said that she was never known to smile or laugh. They described how she handled an ax or a gun like a man. They related how she ruled over the countryside like a feudal chief, and asserted that in backwoods politics her word was final, and that no man eould be elected or appointed to any office without her permission. They told how more than one newcomer in th* neighborhood, failing to win her approval, had been forced to pack hurriedly and move on te other parts. Pappy Giles, who kept the Fine Knob store and post-office, when Diane tactfully mentioned Ann Haskel. related incidents which revealed another side of the mountain worn an's character. “Uncle Jimmie Cartwright lows you’re home folks.” Pappy said, as if to justify himself in talking to an outsider about forbidden things. “I’ve tuck notice myse’f that you ain’t so uppity as them others at the Lodge when they come sometimes like you do fer their mail.” Eight years ago, “come next fall,” Pappy was down with a misery in his back, so bad he couldn't so much as stand on his feet Ma Giles was a helpless invalid. The poor old eouple were in desperate straits. They were living, then, away over on the head of Lonesome, with no neighbors nearer than six miles. Things got so bad there was nothing in the cabin to eat for two days, and no way to go or send for help. Then, who should come riding out of the brush but Ann Haskel, and the big bay horse was carrying not only his mistress, but a whole side of meat a sack of corn meal, a sack of white flour, and “a heap of other fixings- ’taters and sugar and tea and coffee and tobacco and liniments. “Thar’s them what thinks Ann Haskel’s a devil,” said Pappy, thoughtfully. "An' 1 reckon as how thar’s been times when a body might have reasons fer sich thoughts, but I’m a-tellin’ yoflj miss, that thar war one time when she looked to Maw an’ me more like an angel.” (To Be Continued) CoonKM.
