SMA CINDEP-ELLA*'

CHAPTER XXVI. From a window the two backwoods women watched Mr. Levering enter the automobile. The chauffeur touched his cap, closed the door, and took his place at the wheel. The machine moved smoothly away. Running to the window in John Herbert’s room, they watched without a word until the car disappeared from sight up the hill toward the Ridge Highway. Ann Haskel drew a long breath. Then she laughed a queer, halfsmothered sort of laugh and muttered to herself: “Wai, shoot me daid an* don’t miss! That thar fairy done come for old Ma Cinderella sure ’nough! Two million dollars—whoo-ee! That thar's money ’nough to make a princess out of anybody no matter how poor a start they had.” “Ann! Ann Haskel!” In her exeitement Nance caught her companion’s arm and shook her savagely. “My Gawd-a-mighty! Ann, be you gone plum’ crazy? You can't do sich as that. Hit’s a court matter. that’s what hit is. You don’t dast fool a bank lawyer sich as him. ’Tain’t safe—hit’s " “Shet up. I got a right smart Job of thinkin’ to do." “But, Ann." wailed Nance, “you done told that bank lawyer hit war ” “Shet up, I tell you." “But you dassent do sich as that, Ann Haskel. Not even you dast do hit. You an’ me both know good an’ well what you made that bank lawyer believe warn’t so; leastways not all of hit Didn’t you hyear him say’ how he’d be a-comin’ back with law papers an* sich fer we-uns to sign? Didn’t you? An* didn't he say as how thar’d be court swearin’ an’ sich? I’m a-tellin’ you you don’t dast do hit. Anyway, if so be you air sich a fool’s to try hit on. you ain’t a-goin’ to make me swear to no court what I’m a-knowin’ all the time ain’t so. I don’t ’low—to—g i t—my se ’f ” Poor Nance’s voice died away in a low wail of terror as she caught sight of Ann Haskel’s face. Deliberately the mountain woman moved to a rifle which stood beside the fireplace. As she reached for the gun, Nance, with a moaning cry, fell to her knees. Slowly Ann Haskel turned with the weapon in her hands “No, no—Ann, don't do hit! Gawd’s mercy, don’t do hit!” “I warned you.” “You sure did, Ann; I know you did. An’ I’ve alius done jest like you said—you know I have. I ain’t aimin' to tell nobody, Ann. I swear to Gawd I ain’t." Slowly the mountain woman returned the rifle to its place. Nance, with a sob of relief, rose to her feet and slumped into a chair. With a corner of her apron she wiped the perspiration from her face, and the action seemed somehow to restore in a measure her usual stoical calm. “I’d ’most forgot how hit war myse’f,” she said, humbly. “Hit all happened so long ago. Hit ain’t made no difference to nobody so far's I can see -yit ” “What difference do you reckon hit's a-goin’ to make now?” demanded Ann. Torn between her fear of her companion and her fear of the vague unknown power which, to her mind. Levering personified, Nance answered, pleadingly “Didn’t you hyear him tell ‘bout law papers an’ swearin' an' sich, Ann? This hyear what you air a-doin’s a court matter. You don’t dast. Ann—you ain’t got no right!” With grim determination Ann Haskel raid, “Mebbe I ain’t got no law right: then ag’in, considerin' everything, mebbe I got a right what’s bigger’n any law the courts can make. I ain’t never been too particular *bout laws an’ courts, nohow. I sure ain’t aimin' to be too particular now. Anyhow, l got a chance, an' sometimes a chance air a long-sight better n a right.” “What do you reckon they’d do to | a body fer sich as this, Ann—put , ’em in prison?"

borne over concrete strips by powerful motor trucks. Instead of remaining in a city for a day or two. | this new type of circus usually J manages to cover two or three, and ‘ sometimes four cit.lea in the twelve hours of daylight. It is an inno--1 vatton tn the amusement field, and \a presentation of the Standard Oil Company’s LIVE POWER campaign in the interests of the company’s products. Another unusual feature is that this circus consists of a parade in the city’s streets, and no charge is made. The animals are gigantic replicas of the biggest, fiercest and most interesting of the jungle natives. each joyously grinning and springing forward with great, enthusiastic strides to illustrate his own “live power.” In the course of the parade, huge sound trucks, manned by full<

"1 reckon so." “Might they hang 'em, mebbe?” “They might so." “Would a body what only jest he'ped git the same as the one what sure *nough done hit?” “The courts might hold sich to be the law.” “I wished you wouldn’t do hit, Ann. I ain’t a-wantin’ to come to no sich end.” “You look a-hyear, Nance Jordan. Didn't I take you in out of the bresh ?” “You sure did, Ann.” "Ain’t I kept you an' done fer you like you war my own all these years?” “I’m everlastin’ grateful, Ann. I sure ain’t got nobody but you.” “Don’t I know what’s best. Ain’t I alius knowed what war best fer you an* Jeff an* Herb an’ everybody?” “You sure have, Ann.” '“Wai, then, don’t I know what’s best now ? Don’t I?” “I’m sure aimin’ to do jest what you say, Ann—jest like I’ve alius done. But I wish you’d tell me why you air so set on talcin’ sich a chance of goin’ to prison or bein’ hung, mebbe. What air you a-doin’ hit fer, Ann ? You got a sight more money now than ary other body in these parts. We-uns couldn't use no more money if yon had hit. We-uns got everything we need right now. I jest can’t see no sense in a body takin' sich awful risks.” Ann smiled grimly. “I reckon as how yon can't. Nance." She continued, more to herself than to her companion: “But what we-uns hyear in these backwoods has got air less’n nothin’ to what’s out yonder. All my life I been s-honin’ fer somethin’ what I can sense is somewhat out thar. I’ve alius knowed I could git to hit if only I had a chance. But things has alius kept a-holdin’ me back. Ever since I war n pirl—'fore even I war married— I’ve been a-tryin’ an’ a-tryin’ to break away. But somehow things jest kept on a-holdin’ me back more an’ more. When I got to know Jedge Shannon hit seemed like he war goin’ to he'p me. Seemed like he brung all them things from out yonder right close so’s I could feel ’em plainer’n I’d ever done before. Then Ed Haskel war killed an’ the jedge he didn’t never come back. I figgered out after a spell why he didn’t an’ I ain’t never faulted him fer stayin’ away. So when I seed the jedge warn’t never cornin’ ag’in, an’ hit warn’t no use fer me to go on a-wantin’ fer myse’f, I jest settled down to git fer John Herbfl all them things what I couldnT never have. Everything war a-workin' out fine fer Herb, jest like I’d planned. He didn’t even know what kind of a woman I war. He war sure free from everything what’s alius been a-holdin' me. Then he come home an’ found out about me like I never meant fer him to do. An’ that triflin', no'count artist gal’s got him so’s he ain’t no better’n them Lodge folks. Seems like everything I’d planned fer him is all messed up. The poor boy can’t live like we-uns does, ’cause he’s too educated. An’ he ain’t able to live up to his schoolin’ ’cause he can’t make the money. “You want to know what I’m aimin’ to do with this hyear chance I got now? Wai, I’ll tell you, Nance Jordan, I'm aimin’ to git fer my boy all them things out yonder what his education an’ bringin’up has fitted him to have. I’m a-doin’ what I be so’s I can go on a-takin' care of John Herbert jest like I’ve alius done. Hit’s easy 'nough to see that with all them fool notions ’bout book-writin’ an’ sich what he’s got long with his schoolin’ the poor boy ain't never goin' to be able to take care of hisse’f." • » • Ann Haskel kept the first visit of lawyer Levering and his amazing story of the Haskel fortune a secret oven from her son. “Thar ain't never no use a-goin’ ioff half-cocked." she told Nance, “an’ mostly hit spoils everything. Suppose I war to tell Herb an’ git him all stirred up an' expecting an’

crews, play stirring circus airs with all the thrills of the drums, brasses and cymbals. Animals on a holiday, rushing ftjpm nowhere to nowhere reproduced in the wild flights of liwtr own “live power" will be brought back to those who have missed the touring circus parades during the recent years of lack of traveling amusement companies.

then somethin’ should turn up an leave we-uns right whar we be now? Best wait an’ lav low till hit’s all settled an’ I’m plum' sure. I ain’t : a-wantin’ my boy to think I’ve gone plum’ crazy along with all the other i things he T s a-thinkin' 'bout me. Time enough to break hit to Herb , when I’ve sure ’nough got the i money. As fer other folks—wouldn’t nobody believe hit if me , or you war to go tollin’ hit around. : I ain't aimin’ to take no chance of gittin' myself laughed at all ths balance of my days. Thar’s good reasons, too, why hit’s best fer me an’ Herb both that they don't never know. Folks hereabouts talk too dad-burned much about my doin's now. If they war to hyear about about all this money a-comin’ to me, somebody'd sure be a-stirrin’ up trouble. What folks don’t know ain’t goin’ to hurt them ner anybody else. Hit’s alius safest to let i sleepin’ dogs lay.” When the representative of the Trust Company had returned and the business had been concluded in due legal form, Ann told her son of the change in their circumstances. She told him quietly, in as few words as possible. Calmly she answered his excited questions. With a matter-of-fact business air she showed him that the Trust Company had actually placed this large fortune to her credit But, in spite of his mother’s characteristic emotional restraint John Herbert felt beneath her calm a tremendous excitement. It was as if the whole structure of the mountain woman’s self was being shaken. Elements of her nature which for years had been submerged were already beginning to struggle toward the surface. Desires, dreams, hopes, buried deep 1 under the stern necessities of her hard life, were stirring with n\w strength. Forces long denied and held in bondage by the dominant material demands of circumstance and environment were moving toward freedom. Emotions which she had kept shut up in the secret depths of her inner self were rising toward the light. But, while the young man sensed dimly this turmoil beneath the surface calm, he could not grasp the full significance of what was happening. College _ text-books and lectures had furnished him no key to such mysteries as this. His study of literature had given him no clue to these hidden things. His legal training had supplied him with no law which was applicable here. When Ann told John Herbert ; that they were leaving for the city immediately, the young man assented readily enough. But when he learned that Nance Jordan was to go with them he ventured to remonstrate. “I reckon you’re right so far as ■ you know.” his mother replied. ' “Nance is bound to be sort of lostlike anywhar but here in the backwoods. an’ she’s liable to need a heap of lookin’ after.” She laughed. “I 'low I ain’t goin’ to feel jest to say at home, myself—not right at first. I aim to I’am, though. But I reckon as how Nance done ■ climbed plum’ to the top of her hill of I'armn’ 'fore ever she war a growed-up woman, ’Tair’t never goin’ to be possible fer her to git no higher. A woods eolt she war burned an’ a woods colt sh’U alius be. Jest the same, son, thar’s reasons why I’ve got to take her along. Ain’t no fellin’ what’d happen if she war to be left here without me i around. I’ll feel a heap easier in my mind havin’ her whar I can look after her.” That same day John Herbert ; went to Wilderness Station to make their Pullman resen«ations ■ on the main line, for they would spend a night on the train. By a strange chance it was the day , Diane was leaving and the two . young people had a few minutes together before the girl's train pulled out. John Herbert did not think it ■ necessary to mention the incident to his mother. (To Be Continued) ■ e»n>rl»ht. i>U bt Harold Sell WrlzM. Dtatrtbuted by K<nt Fftur— gypdlcte. Ine.
