That was enduring of the time when your folks was having trouble with the Tollivers over the land line. Something about hogs getting over into the Tolliver crops. They was fixing to shoot it out or law it out. Let me see. Just let me s-see.”

He leafed through a dog-eared memo book and made a sound as he discovered a date. “That's right. Them Tollivers was | to see me about the law in thar|

I told your paw that. That was going on toward July, I recollect, “The next thing your paw done was to come in and ask me to fix up these here papers. So the land the Tolilvers mout of laid claim to become Steve's maw’s—she was the boy's guardeen—and right after that, inside a week, I reckon, your pappy was killed in the game, and then Steve he put in his claim, and he had the papers, and all I could do was what I done—I told yur mammy the land wasn't her'n, not your'n, but the Hoggs'.. And that’s the ‘way hit's been from that. good day, son!” Rossy McAfee stared at the simple, honest ol# face. “Uncle Jesse, just suppose my father had done that to keep from having to pay an unreasonable amount of damages in case of a law suit.” wont “Well?” “When he was dead, would not Steve Hogg's case still hold. in court?” ; “It would.” . Rossy made to rise. “Thankee, Uncle Jesse. I think I got what I wanted to know.” “Come and see me when ye air home again, Rossy.” “Thanks, I will, Judge.”

ROSSY| WENT out and stood in the night. It came to him with terrific completeness that his father had really transferred the property to protect himself, knowing by that dodge he could outplay the grasping Tollivers. They would gnash their teeth in defeat and take a reasonable settlement. Later, Rossy’s father planned to take back the land. That had all been worked out between him and the Hoggs, at that time close to the family. But no one could foresee the events of the Fourth of July, and after
‘that, all Steve would have to do was
make his claim and possess the property. : - .“That’s what he’s done! Now he thinks because I'm in college I'm going to learn too much, get too smart, and he has to timber off the stuff and sell it to clean up while he can.” He moved off swiftly again, and when back up the mountain, he came to the place where, after the
game that day, he had knelt in the |}
bushes, prayed as he had seen hill preachers pray, and told God he was going to kill the man who did this to his father. 5 He stopped there for a moment then abruptly sta®ed away, toward the cabin where Steve Hogg lived. Rossy had not gone far before he was stopped by the sound of voices
somewhere down “the path from]
him. He knew Hannah's very well. The other voice was lower, a man’s,
It took Rossy some while to con-|
clude it was Steve Hogg’s. Moving closer, he paused and listened. “Well, all # got to say, Steve, is you'd better look out for Rossy Mc Afee! [The ‘first thing you know he's going to find something, and then it’s going to be trouble!” “Yes, and you'd better be looking out for him, too! How come you got to go back to Lincoln? What's the idea in all that, anyhow?” “1 aim to get me an education or bust.” - | | . “An jddication! And what'll you do after you get one, in case you don’t bust first?” “Well, one thing certain, I won't marry you then, Steve!” “Yes, and another thing certain if you got wit enough to get a college education, which I doubt, I wouldn't have you on a Christmas tree. Me, my wife’s got to be ignorant.” {| | “It would take that kind to be 100l enough to marry you!” | | #8 = =
O passed, while Rossy wine the bushes, watching. So, after going to se
all, Hannah had been Cousin Steve. It must have ‘been important. The hunger for murder had gone. out of him. But, he did have to get back to Lincoln as quickly as possible and see if he could get a lawyer to tend to this land matter. .
