was led by Loyd, carrying Fred's axe in his
band.
" It's his'a 1" he was laying in a rage.
"No use a denyin' it. It's my son's ase,
fur I whittled out the handle myse'f. He's
my own flesh an' blood, but he shall tek hie
chances, an ll giveback the money, colonel,
I hope you won't 'low he tuk his habits
frum me.. The' aidt l► liven' soul 'at ever
heerd 0' me a-tekid what wa'n't mine."
Colonel Winbridge and the sheriff pre-
ceded the othera into the cabin.
"Colonel Winbridge," faltered Mrs. Loyd,
with her arms still around Fred, " you've
got children 'o your own. I hope you won't
be hard on the only poor little weak one
God ever give me. Fred's willin' to give up
the money."
•' It's under the fiat rook in the easeafax
bashes nigh the watermelon patch," said
Fred, so low that his mother had to repast
the confession.
The planter seemed deeply touched by the
mothers grief. He turned to go, saying :
" I would gladly do anything to help you
in your trouble, but it is not in my power. I
mast let the law take its tonne"
" He mast go with me," said the sheriff,
and, bent with despair, Fred was led away,
leaving his fuming father and weeping
mother in the cabin.
The trial name -off soon. It was very.
brief. Fred had confessed hie guilt, but
the prosecution showed plainly that the con-
fession Dame after the boy bad been con-
fronted
by circumstantial evidence which
precluded all chance of escape.
The jury found Fred guilty, and he was
sentenoed to two years in the State peniten-
tiary.
Fred's father did not attend the trial, but
his broken-hearted- mother haunted the
court -room and jail, seeing and comforting
her child as much as possible.
She eat as still as a statue during the mur-
mur that swept over the crowded room as
the boy convict was taken back to jail. No
one drew near to console her, and she went
to no one. She put up her worn, wrinkled
band to her eyes, and wiped away the first
tears that had dampened her cheeks through
the day.
Presently she stole from the great room
and down the stairs, and turned quickly to-
ward the brick jail. The frowning, barred
windows made her shudder as she looked up
at them. She rapped on the closed en-
trance door, and while she waited she drew
her worn shawl more closely around her,
for the wind was cold.
The jailer admitted her, and she followed
him to Fred's cell.
" If yon won't mind, Mrs. Loyd," the
jailer said, " I'll turn the key on ygp bah
fur a while. I've got to run overto the
store, an' I couldn't leave the door open."
The iron door was closed upon her and
her eon. $he stood still in the gloom until
the jailer's steps had ceased to ring through
the building. Then she moved to a cot be-
neath a high, barred window, through which
the gray light came.
Fred bat on one end of the cot, his face
covered with his hands. She seated herself
on the other end, and remained silent for a
moment.
It wee autumn in the valley of the Cohutte
Monatains. From tall, half -denuded syca
mores, shivering in the chill blasts, dead and
dying leaves were swept from the silvery
twigs. The fields were rolling seas of bend-
ing oorn-stalks with whiapering blades. Be-
d them rose the rugged mountains,
•whose sides and brow were robed in the red
and gold garb of sumach, goldenrod, and
the sainset splendor of a myriad tinted
leaves.
An uncouth, overgrown, frowsy -haired
country boy, with an axe on bis shoulder,
etanse down the mountain -side and made his
way along a path which skirted a field.
Something caught his attention, and stop-
ped his cheerful whistle. - It was an over-
ooat, lying oa a log near the path. Its
glossy elegance pleased bis eye. He paused
and bent over to stroke it with his hand, his
face lighting np with: a peouliar pleasure as
ho did so.
He knew that it belanged to Colonel Joel
Wfabriidge, the wealthy owner of the plan-
tation; and the boy looked far across the
fields toward where he had seen, from the
mountain -side, the colonel following a wagon
into whish his mea were gathering corn.
They were now barely in view.
Looking more closely at the coat, the lad
ailed a large pooket-book,in its breast pook-
et. His heart felt suddenly cold as the
temptation came upon him to open the pock-
et -book and see its contents.
He looked around him ; no one could pos-
eib_ly see hies.
The boy drew out the pooket-book and
owed it. It was full of bills. He had
sever assn so much money in his life.
Qaislrly, as if the sudden breeze whioh
passed through his tangled hair were. the
owner's hand upon blm, and the rustling
through the corn a voice, he thrust the poo-
ket-book back aad turned to go away.
Then he -was tempted again. He thought
of Colonel Winbridge owning all the lands
for miles np and down the fertile valley,and
said to himself that the money in ;the pock-
et -book was in reality a small sum to its
"owner.
The boy dropped his axe beside the log,
aad tsok the pocket -book out again, .and
looked about with a bard, set expression
earning into his face. He hardly breathed.
The wagon was even farther away than
before ; the heads of the men and horses
seemed mere specks on the sea of corn.
There would be no danger of detection, he
thought—Colonel Winbridge would think
he had dropped the pocket -book some-
where ; and besides, no one could trace it.
Then the boy, yielding at last, put the
pocket -book into his own pocket and has-
tened homeward.
He oould scarcely draw his breath. In a
narrow slip of woodland just before he
reached the clearing where his father's
cabin stood, he paused in the shadows and
began to reflect.
As the shadows lengthened and thickened,
the wickedness of his deed grew upon him.
He was a thief—a common -thief, -nothing
less ; and all the money in the world could
not remove the stain of guilt from his con-
science.
With a sudden lightness of heart he turn-
ed back. He would restore the money to
its place. He almost ran, so great was his
eagerness to undo what he had done. But,
reaching a rise in hie path, he heard and
esw the rumbling wagon returning. Colonel
Winbridge was among the men within a
short distance of the overcoat.
Too late ! Poor Fred grew whiter and
colder. The instinct of self-preservation
seized him. The money must not be found
on his person. Near him lay a large flat
stone. Surrounded by bushes, the boy was
unobserved. Hastily raising the atone, he
deposited the pocket -book under it, dropped
the stone back, and ran homeward.
As he entered the cheerless hut, with a
low roof and a leaning mud -and -log chim-
ney, he saw his father, a surly oid man, and
his mother, prematurely old, too, Bitting at
a rudely constructed loom,
She looked up as her son came in.
"Did you chop your cord to -day, Fred ?"
she asked, in a kindly voice. " You look
mighty weak an' tired ; seems to me you're
a-workin' powerful hard fur thirty-five
cents a day. Prices in this country is drap-
pin' lower an' lower, an' coffee is a-gwine
up. No tellin' whar it'll end. Now grease
your han's with the mutton suet. They
keep a-crackin', an' ef you aint keerful you'll
tek cold in 'em."
" Dry up, Linda !" growled the father,
angrily. "You'll spitethat lazy whelp
with your pectin'. He don't more'n earn
his salt now. I know fellers kin chop the'r
cord in half the time it take him,"
A few moments later, as Fred Loyd stood,
pale and troubled, at the wide fireplace, a
man came up to the door and seated him-
self on a stool outside in the slanting
beams.
"Good evonin' !" said he, eagerly.
all heard the news ?"
" What's up, Sam?" queried Loyd, mov-
ing near to the door. Mrs. Loyd's loom
ceased its rattling, and she turned toward
the visitor.
"Colonel Winbridge has been robbed !"
" Robbed !" exclaimed Loyd and his wife
in a single breath.
"Yes," said the man. " He tuk his
money to the field with 'im this evenin' to
pay off his Ian's, He had it in his over-
coat pocket, an' laid it down to go 'cross to
show the men how to do hie haulin'. He
went fnrder from it than he calculated, an'
when he got back the money wuz gone."
Have they got any idee who tuk it ?
asked Loyd.
" Not fur sartin," said the man, " but
they're on track of him, He wuz a new
ban' at the business, kase he run off an' lef'
his axe behind the identical log the coat.
wuz on."
A startled movement and a quick, fright-
ened glance on Fred's part drew Mrs.
Loyd's eyes from the visitor's face to that of
her boy. His pallor and the wild, hunted
look in his eyes chained her thoughts in
rningled horror and suspicion.
" Hold on, Sam !" called Loyd after his
visitor, who. was starting away. " I'll go
with you ; they may need us to he'p bunt
the culprit. If I had my way all sech 'ud
be strung up to a limb. The idea o' Navin'
a thief in tech a community as ourn !"
As the crunching sound of their heavy
boots died away down the gravel path, Mrs.
Loyd, as pale and trembling as Fred, left
her stool and went to him.
"Fred, fur the Lord's
matter ? What makes
way ?"
He did not reply, but remained with
dcwneast eyes as if unable -to look into her
pale face.
"Fred," after a moment's pause, in which
the old woman raised her hand, stained with
the dye of her cloth, and put it pleadingly
on his arm, " Fred, whar's your axe ? You
didn't fetch it home with you as com-
mon,"'
Fred said not a word.
"My God !" ahe gasped, in a low tone,
and opening her arms, she took him into
them. In silence she held him close, while
the flames in the chimney rose and fell at
the will of the blasts which whistled through
the cracks between the loge of the wall.
Hearing steps on the walk, she seemed all
M apace to awake to the realization of her
boy'a immediate danger.
" Fred," she gasped, resting both her
bands on his shoulders and trying to catch
his eyes, " Fred, it wuz wrong, but it's
done, an' you must own up to it. It's the
only way out of it now. You're good at
?heart, an' wouldn't do it agin fur worlds.

Then she moved nearer, until her arm had

Tighter and tighter she drew him, until his

an' I'll be ready fur you. Your bed will be

Before the mother had left the jail her
eon's face was aglow with hope, and he had
promised hie mother to do his duty, and re-
turn to her as soon as hie imprisonment was
ever. -
Two years latera pale -faced boy of nine-
teen, dressed in a new suit of home-made
cloth, which his mother had made and sent
to him to take the piece of his prison garb,
came across the hills and field. from the
station on foot. He came timidly into the
settlement, for he . knew the unforgiving
nature of the people. No one guilty of
theft had to their knowledge ever lived
among them. Could they now harbor one
who had served a term in prison ?
Fred's mother had made many earnest ap-
peals in her penitent boy's behalf, and had
prayed that they would soften their hearts
toward him.
She met him at the bars.
face shone with joy.
" Freddy," she said, leading him up the
path to the cabin, and catching her breath
at the sight of the prison -paled face and
thinness of figure. "I've kep' your thinge
just as they wuz. Make yourself perfectly
at home. It's two year since you alep' here,
but the's mighty little change. We've got
the same plow horses an' most o' the cattle.
Don't mind your pap -he's gettin' old an'
peevish."
" Mother," said he, drawing away from
her, and sinking on a bench at the table.
" I'm glad you an' the Lord has he'eped me
'long so fur, an' to get home agin. The'
ain't been a night Bence I left that I hadn't
seed this here cabin an' them mountains in
my mind, an' I've actually counted the
hours an' days ; seemd lak they jest drug
along."
't I've been so anxious to get back," he
went on," that I hain't fur a minute thought
o' finding trouble. But it's here, mother,
it's wuss than ever. When I got ern the
train at Elijay, I seed a passle o' boys
from this settlement that had gone over tear
to sell corn. They all know'd me, an'
turned away as ef they wnz afeerd o' me, an'
begun to whisper with one another as ef
they tuk me fur some wild creetnr. I
couldn't go up an' speak to 'em, so I came
on by myself."
Mrs. Lloyd's throat was so clogged that
she could not speak, She turned her face
aside and stroked his short hair excitedly.
" They're wuse'n beasts !" she gulped,
presently. " This is a big camp ground
deestrict, an' the' aint a body in it ready to
he'p a pore sole back to the mercy -seat."
The boy's father never spoke to him save
to hurl reproaches at him for bringing dis-
grace upon his family. Fred's old friends
refused to work in the same field with him.
Hearing of this, Mrs. Lloyd went to the
men and begged them to treat her son dif-
ferently, but quite in vain.
To be alone, Fred obtained a contract to
fell a quantity of timber on the mountain.
