CHAPTER XIV Continued.
lies Idee being on duty as an officer
of militia, Cullomb was a Kentucklan,
Interested In the problems of his com
monwealth, and, when he wont back,
he knew that bis cousin, who occupied
the executive mansion at Frankfort,
w ould be interested In his suggestions.
The governor had asked him t report
his Impressions, and he meant to, af
ter analyzing them.
So, smarting under his Impotency,
Captain C'allomb came out of his tent
one morning, and strolled across the
curved bridge to the town proper. He
knew that the grand Jury was conven
ing, and he meant to sit as a spectator
in the courthouse and study proceed
ings when they were Instructed.
llut before ho reached the court
house, where for a half-hour yet the
cupola bell would not clung out its
summons to veniremen and witnesses,
he found fresh fuel for his wrath.
He was not a popular man with
these clansmen, though Involuntarily
he had been, useful In lending their vic
tims to the slaughter. There was a
scowl In his eyes that they did not
like, und an arrogant hint of iron laws
In the livery he wore, which their in
stincts distrusted.
Callomh saw without being told that
over the town lay a sense of por
tentous tidings. Faces were more
sullen than usual. Men fell into scowl
ing knots and groups. A clerk at a
store where he stopped for tobacco
Inquired as he made change:
"Heerd the news, stranger?"
"What news?"
"This here 'Wildcat' Samson South
come back yistlddy, an' last evenln'
towards eundown, Jesse Purvy an'
Aaron Hollls was shot dead."
For an Instant, the soldier stood
looking at the young clerk, his eyes
kindling into a wrathful blaze. Then,
he cursed under his breath. At the
door, he turned on his heel:
"Where can Judge Smlthers be
found at this time of day?" he de
manded. CHAPTER XV.
The Honorable Abo Smlthers vsai
not the regular judge of thp circuit
which numbered llhon among Its
counly seats. The elected Incumbent
was ill, and Smlthers had been named
as his pro-tern, successor. Cullomb
climbed to the second story of the
frame bank building and ounded loud
ly on a door, which bore the boldly
typed shingle:
"Asa Smithero, Attorney-at-Law."
The temporary judge admitted a
visitor in uniform, whose countenance
wag stormy with Indignant protest.
The Judge himself was placid and smil
ing. The lawyer, who was for the time
being exalted to the bench, hoped to
ascend it more permanently by the
votes of the Ilollinnn faction, since
only Hollmun votes were counted Ho
was a young man of powerful physique
with a fate ruggedly strong and hon
est. Callomb stood for a moment inside
the door and when he spoke It was to
demand crisply:
"Well, what are you going to do
about It?"
"About what, captain?'' Inquired the
other, mildly.
"U it possible you haven't heard?
Since yesfrduy noon two murders
have been added to the holocaust. You
represent the courts of law. I repre
sent the military urm of the state. Are
we going to stand by and see this go
on?"
The Judge shook his head, and his
visage was sternly thoughtful and
hypocritical. He did not mention thut
he had Just come from conference
with the Hollman leaders. He did not
explain thut the venire he hud drawn
from the Jury drum had borne a slngu
lurly solid Hollman complexion.
"1'ntil the grand jury acts I don't
see that we can take any steps."
"And," stormed Captain Cullomb,
"the grand Jury will, like former grand
Juries, lie down In terror und inactiv
ity. Either there are no courugeous
men In your county, or these panels
are selected to avoid including them "
Judge Smitlkers' face darkened, if
he was a moral coward, he was at
least a cowurd crouching behind a
seeming of fearlessness.
"Cuptnln," he said, coolly, but with a
dangerous hint of warning, "I don't see
that your duties Include contempt of
court."
FIND CAUSE OF SOURNESS
Giant Elephant at New York Zoo Is
an Actor and Naturally Tem
peramental. At Inst Doctor Hornaduy und Ray
mond U Ditmars of the Pronx zoo
have found out just why Gunda, In ad
dition to being the largest elephant
In captivity, has steadily built up a
reputation as the greutest section of
elephant hide ' encasing the largest
chunk of temperament in tin known
world.
Tlje answer is easy. Gunda's tem
perament is due to the fact that Gunda
has become an actor. Temperament
simply oozed from every pore when
Gunda was called forth at long range
to pose for the series of moving pic
tures that are being taken of the zoo
animals for Curator Ditmars.
"Register sweetness and light,
there's a good Gunda," called the mo
vlo director as Gunda was led out
and the camera began to click.
Gunda, missing the cue, Instantly
tried t-j register murder, fire, and sud
den death. Doctor Ditmars, who bad
"No!" Cullomb was now thoroughly
angered, und his voice rose. "I am
Bent down here subject to your orders,
und it seems you are also subject to
orders. Here aro two murders in a
day, capping a climax of 20 yeurs of
bloodshed. You have Information as
to the arrival of a mun known as a
desperado with a grudge against the
two dead men,, yet you know of no
steps to take. Give me the word and
I'll go out und bring that man, and any
others you name, to your bar of Justice
If it Is a bur of Justice! For Ood's
suke, give me something else to do
than to bring In prisoners to be shot
down In cold blood."
The Judge sat balancing a pencil on
his extended forefinger, as though It
were a scale of Justice.
"You have been heated In your lan
gauge, sir," he said, sternly, "but It Is
a heat arising from an Indignation
which I share. Consequently, I pass It
over. I cannot instruct you to arrest
Samson South before the grand Jury
has accused htm. The law does not
contemplate hasty or unadvised action.
All men are innocent until proven
guilty. If the grund Jury wants South
I'll instruct you to go and got him.
1'ntil then, you may leave my part of
the work to me."
His honor rose from his chair.
' You can at least give this grand
Jury such Instructions on murder as
will point out their duty. Tou can as
sure them that the militia will protect
them. Through your prosecutor you
can bring evidence to their attention
you"
"If you will excuse me," Interrupted
his honor, dryly, "I'll Judge of hjw I am
to charge my grund Jury. I have been
In communication with the family of
Mr. Purvy, and It Is not their wish r.t
the present time to bring this case be
fore the panel."
Cullomb laughed Ironically.
"No, I could have told you that be
fore you conferred with them. I could
have told you that they prefer to be
their own courts and executioners, ex
cept where they need you. They also
preferred to have me get a man they
couldn't take themselves, and then to
assassinate him in my hands. Who in
the hell do you work for, Judge-for-the-
moment Smlthers? Are you holding a
Job under the state of Kentucky, or un
der the Hollman faction of this feud?
I am Instructed to take my orders
from you. Will you kindly tell me my
master's real name?"
Smlthers turned pale with anger,
his fighting face grew ns truculent as
n bulldog's, while Cullomb stood glar
ing back at him like a second bulldog,
but the Judge knew that he was being
honestly and fearlessly accused. He
merely pointed to the door. The cap
tain turned on his licet and stalked
out of the place, and the Judge, came
down the steps and crossed the street
to the courthouse. Five minutes later
he turned to the shirt-sleeved man who
wus leaning on the bench and said In
his most Judicial voice:
"Mr. Sheriff, open court."
The next day the mall carrier
brought in a note for the temporary
judge, ills honor read it at recess and
hastened across to Hollman's Mam
moth Department Store. Thcro, in
council with his masters, he asked in
structions. This was the note:
The Hon. Asa Smlthers.
"Sir: I arrived in this county yes
terday, and am prepared, if called as
a witness, to give to the grand Jury
full and true particulars of the murder
of Jesse Purvy and the killing of Aaron
Hollls. I am wiillng to come under the
escort of my own kinsmen, or the mili
tiamen, as the court may advise.
"The requirement of any bodyguard
I deplore, but In meeting my legal ob
ligations, 1 do not regard it as neces
sary or proper to walk into a trap.
"Respectfully,
"SAMSON SOUTH."
Sir.ithers looked perplexedly at
Judge Hollman.
"Shall I have blm come?" he In
quired. Hollman threw the letter down on
his desk with a burst ot blasphemy:
"Have him come?" he echoed. "Hell
and damnation, no! What do we want
h.m to come here and spill the milk
for? When we get ready, we'll indict
him. Then, let your damned soldiers
go after him as a criminal, not a
witness. After that, we'll continue this
case until these outsiders go away,
and we ean operate to suit ourselves.
We don't fall for SamBon South's
tricks. No, sir; you never got that
letter! It miscarried. Do you hear?
You never got it."
Smlthers nodded grudging acqui
escence. Most men would rather be
independent o&cluls than collar-wear-ers.
Out on Misery Samson South hud
gladdened the soul of his uncle with
his return. The old mail was mending,
and, for a long time, the two hud
tulked. The fulling head of the clan
looked vainly for signs of degeneration
In his nephew, and. falling to find
tliem, was happy.
"I lev ye derided. Samson," he in
quired, "thet ye was right In yer no
tion, 'bout goiu' away?"
Samson sat reflectively for a while,
l lien replied:
"We were both right. Uncle Spicer
beeu in the act of stepping up to
Gunda and ottering the elephant a
loaf of bread, changed his mind and
went away from there. The last heard
of one of the movie men was in the
form of a long jell retreating through
Yonkers.
Hut Doctor Ditmars got his pictures
of Gunda in the act of being tempera
mental finally, and they are now being
shown by Doctor Ditmars these days
at the Brooklyn Institute of Arcs and
Science. New York Sun.
War Distances.
War, besides being a great leveler,
Is also a great educator. Places we
had never even beard ot previously
are now becoming as "familiar in our
mouths as household words." The
distances are apt to be somewhat con
fusing unless understood. It ought,
however, to bo quite easy to remember
that a meter measures about one and
one-twelfth yards, or more exactly,
39.37 Inches. A decameter Is 10 me
ters, a hectometer Is 100 meters, and
a kilometer Is 1,000 meters, or a little
more than three-fifths of a mile. The
Russians express the length of their
and both wrong. Thie Is my place,
but if I'm to take up the leadership It
must be in a different fashion. Changes
nro coming. We can't uny longer stnnd
still."
Spicer South lighted his pipe. He,
too, In. these Inst years, bad seen in
the distance the crest of the oncoming
wave.
"I reckon there's right smnrt truth
to that," he acknowledged. "I've been
studyln' 'bout hit cottsid'ablo myself of
late. Thar's been sev'ral fellers
through the country talkin' coal an'
timber an' railroads an' alch like."
Sally went to mill that Saturday,
and with her rode Samson. There, be
sides Wile McCager, he met Caleb
Wiley and several others. At drat,
they received him skeptically, but they
knew- of the visit to Purvy's store, and
they were willing to admit that in part
at least he had erased the blot from
his escutcheon. Then, too, except for
cropped hair and a w hite skin, be had
como back as be hud gone, In home
spun and hickory. There waa nothing
highfalutln In bis mannors. In short,
the Impression was good.
"1 reckon now that ye're back,
Samson," suggested McCager, "an see
In' how yere Uncle Spicer is got tin'
along all right, I'll Jest let the two of
ye run things. I've done had enough."
It was a simple fashion of resigning
a regency, but effectual,
- Old Caleb, however, still insurgent
und unconvinced, brought in a minor
ity report.
"We wants fightln' men," he grum
bled, with the senile reiteration of his
age, as ho spat tobacco and beat a rat
tat on the mill floor with his long
hickory staff. "We don't want no de
serters." "Samson ain't a deserter," defended
Sally. "There Un't one of you lit to
tie his shoes." Sally and old Spicer
South alone knew of her lover's Utter
to the circuit Judge, and they were
pledged to secrecy.
"Never mind. Sally!" It was Sam
son himself who answered her. "I
didn't come back because 1 care what
men like old Caleb think. I came back
becaupe they needed me. The proof of
a fighting man le his fighting, I reckon.
I'm willing to let 'em Judge me by
what I'm going to do."
So, Samson slipped back, tentative
ly, at least, Into his place as clan head,
though for a time he found it a post
without action. After the Oerce out
burst of bloodshed, quiet had settled,
and it was tacitly understood that, un
less the Hollman forces had some coup
In mind which they were secreting,
this peace would last until the soldiers
were withdrawn.
'When the world's a-lookin'," com
mented Judge Hollman, "hit's a right
good idea to crawl under a log an'
lay still."
I'urvy had been too famous a feud
ist to pass unsung. Reporters came as
fur as Illxon, gathered there such
news as the Hollmuns chose to give
them, and went back to write lurid
stories and description, from bear
say, of the stockaded teat of tragedy.
Nor did they overlook the dramatic
coincidence of the return of "Wildcat"
Samson South from civilization to sav
agery. They made no accusation, but
they pointed an infereuce and a moral
as they thought. It was a sermon on
the triumph of heredity over the ad
vantages of environment. Adrienno
reud some of these saffron misrepre
sentations, and they distressed her.
Meanwhile, It came Insistently to the
ears of Captain Callomb that some
plan was on foot, the ilttricaoles of
which he could not fathom, to manu
facture a case against a number of the
Souths, quite apart from their actual
guilt, or likelihood of guilt Once'
more, he would be railed upon to go
out and drag in men too well fortified
to be taken by the posses and depu
ties of the Hollman civil machinery.
At this news, he chafed bitterly, and,
still rankling with a sense of shame at
the loss of his first prisoner, he formed
a plan of hie own, which bo revealed
over liis pipe to his first lieutenant.
"There's a nigger In the woodpile,
Merrlwcather," he said. "We are Bim
ply being used to do the dirty work
up here, and I'm going to do a little
probing of my own. I guess I'll turn
the company over to you for a day or
two."
"What idiocy are you contemplating
now?" inquired the second in com
mand.
"I'm going to ride over on Misery,
and heur what the other side has to
say. I've usually noticed that one side
of any story is pretty good until the
other's told."
'It's sheer madness. I ought to take
you down to this Infernal crook of a
Judge and have you committed to a
strait-Jacket."
'If," said Cullovib, "you are content
to play the effspaw to a bunch of as
sassins, I'm not. The muil-rider went
out this morning and he carried a let
ter to old Spicer South. I told him that
I was coming unescorted and unarmed
and that my object was to talk with j
him. I asked hiin to give mo a safe
conduct, at least, until I reached his I
house, and stated niy case. 1 treated
him like an oilirer und a gentleman,

place lu vents. A verst is rather
more than a kilometer, the exact dis
tance being 0.6G2 of a mile, or be
tween three-fifths and four-fifths of

Big Businesi Helps Missions.
It bus often been said that business
in foreign lands has owed much to
Christian missions in opening up new
territory to trade. It now develops
that missions will owe something to
big business. It has been the custom
for the home offices of the foreign
missionary societies to pay their rep
resentatives in the field by foreign
drarts. The war has made this
method Impossible. The treasurers of
the various missionary boards at a
joint meeting voted to appeal to some
American mercantile bouse doing
business in every part of the world.
They decided to ask the Standard Oil
company to become the agent of the
mission boards for the transmission
of money to their stations in foreign
fields, and through Its treasurer the
arrangement was speedily made. The
readiness of the company In doing this
I und, unless I'm a poor Judge of men,
he's going to treat me that way."
The lieutenant sought vainly to dls
etitido Cullomb, but tho next day the
captain rode forth, unaccompanied.
Curious stures followed him and Judge
Smlthers turned narrowing and un
pleasant eyes after him, but at the
point where the ridge separated (ho
territory of the Hollmans from that of
tho Souths he saw waiting In the road
a mounted figure, sitting his horse
straight, and clad in the rough habili
ments of the mountaineer.
As Callomb rode up he saluted and
the mounted figure with perfect grav
ity and correctness returned that
salute as one officer to another. The
captain was surprised. Where bad
this mountaineer with the steady eyes
and the clean-cut jaw learned the
niceties of military etiquette?
"I am Captain Callomb of 'F" com
pany," fcaid the officer. "I'm riding
over to Spicer South's house. Did you
como to meet me?"
"To meet and guide you," replied a
pleasant voice. "My name Is Samson
Smith."
The militiaman stnrcd. This mun
whose countenance was calmly
thoughtful scarcely comported with the
descriptions he had heard of the
"Wildcat of the Mountains;" the man
who had come home straight as a
storm petrel at the first note of tho
tempest and murked his coming with
double murder. Callomb had been too
busy to rend newspapers of late. He
hud heard only that Samson hud "been
away."
Wlillo he wondered, Samson weut
on:
"I'm glad you came. If it had been
possiblo I would have come to you."
As be told of the letter he had written
the judge, volunteering to present him
self as a t knees, the officer's wonder
grew.
"They snld that you had been away,'
suggested Callomb. "If it's not an im
pertinent question, what part of the
mountains have you been visiting?"
Samson laughed.
"Not any part of tho mountulns," he
said. "I've been living chiefly In New
York and for a time In Paris."
Cullomb drew bis horse to a dead
halt.
"In the name of God," he Incredu
lously asked, "what manner of man
are you?"
"I hope," came the instant reply, "It
may be summed up by spying that I'm
exactly the opposite of tho man you've
had described for you buck there at
Hixon."
"I knew It," exclaimed the soldier.
"I knew that I was being fed on lies!
That's why I enme. I wanted to get
the straight or it. and I felt that the
solution lay over here."
They rodo the rest of the way in
deep conversation. Samson outlined
his ambitions for his people. He told,
too, of the scene that had been enacted
at Purvy's store. Callomb listened with
absorption, feeling that the narrativo
boro axiomatic truth on its face.
At lust he inquired:
"Did you succeed up there as a
painter."
"That's a long road," Samson told
h! m, "but 1 think 1 hud a fuir start I
was getting commissions when 1 left"
"Then I am to understand" the offi
cer met the steaJy gray eyes and put
the question like a cross-examiner
bullying a witness "I am to under
stand that you deliberately put behind
you a caroer to come down here and
herd these fence-jumping sheep?"
"Hardly that," deprecated the head
of the Souths. "They sent for me
that's all. Of course, I had to come."
"Why?"
"liecause they had scut They are
my people."
The officer leaned In his saddle.
"South." he said, "would you mind
shaking hands with me? Some day I
want to brag about it to my grandchil
dren." Callomb spent the night at the house
of Spicer South. He met end talked
with a number of the kinsmen, and, if
he read in the eyes of some of them a
smoldering and unforgiving remem
brance of his unkept pledge, at least
they repressed all expression of ceu
sure. With Spicer South and Samson tho
captain talked long Into the night. He
made many jottings in a note book. He
with Samson abetting him, pointed out
to the older und more stubborn man
the necessity of a new regime in the
mountains, under which tho individual
could walk In greater personal safety.
As for the younger South, the officer
felt, when he rode away text morning,
that he had discovered the one man
who combined with the courage and
honesty that many of bis clansmen
shared the mental equipment and local
influence to prove a constructive lead
er. When he, returned to the llluegrass
he meant ot have a long and unofficial
talk with his relative, the governor.
The grand Jury trooped each day to
the courthouse and transacted its busi
ness. The petty Juries went and came,
occupied with several minor homicide
cases. The captain, from a chair,
which Judge Smlthers had ordered

to be as particular about Informa

"I suppose I'll be called on to go and

"I'm afraid we'll have to ask you to
do that."
"What caused the change of heart?
I thought Purvy's people didn't want it
done." It was Callomb's first allusion,
except for bis apology, to their former
altercation.
For on Instant only, Smlthers was a
little confused.
"To be quite frank with you, Ca1
lomb," he suld, "I got to thinking over
I the matter in the light of your own
viewpoint, and, after due deliberation,
I came to see that to the state at large
it might bear the same nppearanoe. So,
I had the grand jury take the matter
up. We must stamp out such lawless
net as Samson South stands for. He
Is the more dangerous because be has
brains."
Callomb nodded, but, at noon, he
slipped out on a pretense of sightsee
ing, and rode by a somewhat circuit
ous route to the ridge. At nightfall,
he came to the house of the clan head.
"South," bo said to Sumson, when
be had led him aside, "they didn't
want to bear what you had to tell the
grand jury, but they are going uheud
to Indict you on manufactured evi
dence." Samson was for a moment thought
ful, then he nodded.
"That's about what I was expecting ''
"Now," went on Callomb, "we un
derstund each other. We are working
for the same end, and, by God! I've
hnd one experience In making arrests
at the order of thut court I don't
want it to happen again."
"I suppose," said Samson, "you know
that while I atn entirely willing to lace
uny fair court of Justice, I don't pro
pose to walk into a packed Jury, whosn
only objec t is to get me where I can
be made way with. Cullomb, I hope
we won't have to fight each other.
What do you suggest?"
'if the court orders the militia to
make an arrest, the militia has no op
tion. In the long run, resistance would
only alienate the sympathy of the
world at large. There Is just one
thing to be done. South. It's a thing
I don't like to suggest." He paused,
"They Are Going to Indict You on
Manufactured, Evidence."
then added emphatically: "When my
detail arrives here, which will prob
ably be in three or four days, you
must not bo here. You must not be
in any place where we can find you."
For a little while, Samson looked at
the other man with a slov smile of
amusement, but soon it died, and hi
face grew hard and determined.
"Im obliged to you, Cullomb," he
said, seriously. "It was more thun I
had the right to expect this warning.
I understand the cost of giving It. Hut
it's no use. 1 can't cut and run. No, by
God, you wouldn't do It! You can't
ask me to do It."
"By God, you can and will!" Cullomb
spoke with determination. "This Isn't
a time for quibbling. You've got work
to do. We both hove work to do. We
can't stand on a matter of vainglorious
pride, and let big issues of humanity
go to pot We haven't the right to
spend men's lives in fighting each
other, when we are the only two men
In this entanglement who are In per
fect accord and honest."
The niountuineer spent some min
utes in ellent Belf-debate. Tho working
of his fuce under the play of alternat
ing doubt, resolution, hatred and Insur
gency, told the militiaman what a
struggle was progressing. At last,
Samson's eyes cleared with an expres
sion of discovered solution.
"All right, Callomb." he snld. briefly,
"you won't find me!" He smiled, us
he added: "Make as thorough a
search as your duty demands. It
needn't be perfunctory or superficial.
Every South cabin will stand open to
you. I shall be extremely busy, to ends
which you approve. I cun't tell you
what I shall be doing, because to do
that, 1 should have to tell where J
mean to he."
