I'm 4t Tcirs old thin fall, I've got enough to lust and there ain't a chick nor child to lenre it to, and that hill (veil, it'a no nc, that'i all. The place ain't good for raisin' mnch.-jimt pines and berry brnmhies and them there white aralies, tint when it comes my turn to die 1 want 'em to leave me there, fk'f that place where the trees grow thick an It'a dink an' cool and atill? Xhat'a it! That'a where I'm going to lie. ' Your wife, she fancied that? Peculiar, ain't it? Women folks like light most a! ways, light an 4 sunny parts, though once 1 knowed a girl but that was 2d years ago. Buy half my hill, you gay ? io, sit ree, you can't have half an inch. Mcbby yon city folks can't understand, but I'll tell you w hat, there's things up here that money couldn't touch, and that then pot is one of 'em. Confound it, man, I'll tell you why! You see, 'twas more than 20 j-ear ago that I come here to see a friend o' mine, named Kphraim Jones. You knew Kph. Jones ': Well, that's odd, ain't it? lie an' 1 wn chums. This place was mightly lively then Those cabins there was lull of folks, an' nien was takin' fortunes out o' quartz most every day. The school houe stood up yonder, neat my hill, an' the teacher's name well, that don't matter, anyhow. I couldn't say what she was like; I couldn't tell a blind man what a lily was. Your cities never grow that kind, no more than they do sugar pines oi rhododendron flowera. Well, we were friends. We used to gn for white azalics, she an' I, up on my hill when school was through. It wasn't my hill then, not till long after, when she'd gone away, and yet we called it "ours." e used to sit there where the trees grow thick an' plan out what the years would bring. We'd sit there till the shadows omt an' shut the world away, an' then were glad, for all the night an' all the stors seemed made for just us two! The wood-owls nested in those trees, an' when I'd say I loved ionic one, they'd always ask me, "Who?" And so the summer slipped along an' time come for me to go. I was to fix a little home, an' when next the white azalies bloomed to go back uga,n for her. Well, first she wrote me regular every week, and then her letters got to soundin' queer, like one who laughs an' wants to cry, an' then well, then they stopped. Those were busy times with us, but I wrote by every stiige. One evenin' 'twas along in May, an' 1 was potterin' round at duk a-doin' up the chores I saw a man come down the trail. The man was Ephraim Jones, lie never sakl a word just reac led out an' took my hand, an' wrung it hard, an' kind o' choked. By and by. he said: "Look here, old man, it takes an awful blast, you know, to shatter out that hard gray rock so you can get gold. Well, the good Lord blasts us hard sometimes, per haps to find our gold." Then he told me how her father'd got in debt, an' gone away, an' left her mother ick an' them two little sisters on her hands, with nothing but the money from her achool; how she had tried to keep it from me all those weeks, and then a man had come, a judge from heaven knows where, an' old enough to Say, stranger, be this sun too hot? You look so kind o' faint an' fuddled out. Per haps you'd rather have me Btop my yarn? Go on? Well, there ain't much more to tell. The judge he come a-eourtin' her, but she said always, "No." He told her how he'd take them alt, an' make her mother well, an' send the girls away to school, an' do a heap o' things. Then winter come, an' they hadn't even wood, nor clothes, nor things to eat. The mother blamed her some an' cried; the lit tle girls both teased and coaxed, an' the judge come every day. And bo the win ter turned to early spring, but things were n't better much. One evenin' Kphraim came across our hill an' found her up there, where the trees grow thick. The leaves were eomin' on the white azalie plants, an' her hands were full of ten der little shoots, "Go, take him these," she said, "and sav when they bloom I'll be his bride. My mother and the children need me most; my duty is to them!" Well, the judge, he married her an' took 'em all away. And 1? I've got them little dry shoots yet, an' shall have always, too! Ephraim went down to see 'em once he knew the judge, you know. They were livin' in a splendid house, with carriages an' everything. The judge was doin' all he could, but money can't buy love! 8he seemed to kind o' sweet an' still, like a lily that's been picked an' taken from the sun. There was a baby, too,, a puny mile her baby an' she called him Joe! I guess the judge he didn't know what for, but it was me! What is it, stranger? Be you ill? Per haps the air ' too light up here, an youi beart ain't over otrong. Well, to go an, he died, did little Joe, an he eent Kphraim word. The white azalies was in bloom, an' 1 got mot a hun dred sprays, an' Kph, he took 'em down. The little chap had lots o' flowers, all botighten ones, you know; but mine the mother took an' held 'em cloe an' cried. (Confound this smoke! It's gcttin' in your eyes?) Well, after that they went away, some where in foreign parts, and that was fif teen year ago. The judge, if he'i a-livin' now, must be as jld as you! The pines keep singin' on our hill, an' everything grows just the same as when we two was young, an' some day Say, you've etn quicksilver in with gold? The part that isn't used rolls down the sluice in little shiny hulls, but when they meet they form a whole so well that nobody can tell just which it which. The gold divides it mebby, by an' by, but each takes toinewhat of the other's part an' holds it till they meet again, to give it back with it own self boides. Well, hearts is just like that. You see, I couldn't sell the place, it', "ours!" In this world she'a the judges w ifc, but in the nest he's mine! Why, man, for God's sake, what's gone wrong? tihe'a what? She's wuat, you ay? The judge? Your wife! Consumption man? Ut-ar Heaven, be more kind! Nay, mii-ter, that clay hill ii yours. I'm gom' I'm goin' away. You'll pay me? Nu. You've paid a thour-and times.
