The sun was high in the heavens when I awoke next morning. Afraid of being late, I sprang up and dressed quickly—then, re -assured by hearina. no bell.,. I drew aside my curtain and look- ed o:ut.. It was too late to see the mist wreaths melt away. The sun had already cleared all 'impediments - from his path, and now shone on-inundim.m---� edglory—there was not even • one white speck in the perfectly blue :sky.. Here and there,'down the blue-green „moun- tain side, Ono could detect little patches • of cultivated ground, while clustered. in a clump about the ba3e of the nearest mountain was. what_.appeared. to be .a tiny village, the only indication of Truman habitation in this wild moun- tain region. Ia our after- breakfast Ghat in the shady front porch, I casually. Hien tioned the singular figure I had. seen while • waiting at the Fork. - "That must have been Ibbie Hickett," said Belle. "She is a cllexacter, and you must see her when she -comes to sell her berries." I soon grew profoundly interested in Belle's account of the Hickett's and of Hickett's Hallow—which I found was the came of the- small settlement I had - noticed from my wiudow. - They were all of one family, though it would be difii:cult. to define their relationship to one another, as the marriage relatio-n ' was almost unknown among them,— very ignorant and poor. When I asked if something could not be .done to • im- prove them,. Belle said she had often tried to get the children to coins to her Sunday afternoons, but so fax her efforts had beeli entirely uusuccessful; they would not come and she could not go to them. She had thought of doing so, but when she meutioned her plan her brother-in-law positively 'forbade it, and said no lady should ever go alone to Hickett's Hollow. The men drank when- . over they could get the liquor, they were rude and impertinent, and the idea was . altogether impracticable. "There was a cabin some distance off —further up the mountain: Is that one of them ?" I asked. • She looked in the direction I indi- cated, • "Yes, that is -Situps Hickett's house.. Mr. Williams calls him the 'head devil of the lot.' He is a handsome savage, and possesses rather more intelligence than most of his kinsfolks—but his temper is terrible. He lives there with his wife,. Ibbie, and three children. The mountain women say he treats- her cruelly, yet, in spite of this, she is devoted to him and fears him to air extent which is almost amusing,. When you see what a powerful creature she is." • A. few Tnor-nings later, as I sat alone in my room, Belle knocked at the door. "Come down in Emma'a room," she • men t.
