CHAPTER. NLVI
"Strange Sensation that, the Begin-
ning of J-ove."
The morning after the close of
school found me alone, on my way to
the appointed spot.. Spring had open-
ed, the blue -grass was tall in the fence
corners, the corn in the field had been
thinned and pldughed for the first
time, the apple bloom had long since
fallen, and the approach of sunilmer
had been heralded by several hot days
that had successively grown hotter. I
stopped in the back yard of our home
before crossing: the fence that bounded
the pasture, and climbed a pole that
:held aloft .a box in which a pair of
bluebirds nested. Inside it were two
little ones. I took 'them carefully out
of their nest, looked into their ugly
mouths and replaced them not less
carefully. Then I descended and mov-
ed slowly onward, for I was ahead
'Of time. Next I lingered on the edge
of the pond that had been made by
damming the ravine that crossed the
back of the pasture. Muskrat holes
were in abundance along the bank,
-and as I stood quietly, a head rose in
the water !near my feet, then disap-
peared as the timid creature caught
sight of my intruding form:
War was in my heart, but not war
against the innocent. 'lore than one
rabbit 'hopped from cover and disap-
peared in the bushes as my- foot cros-
sed the briar patch beyond the pas-
ture, but no stone . followed: From
the tip of a fence post on the right
a male partridge sang "Bob Whit I"
to his nesting mate hidden near by in
-the grass, and front the fence on my
left came the answering cry, of an-
other partridge. Both binds were
singing undisturbed when I , passed
from sight. Instinct, .I sujip'ose, led
nye to thrust a long pole into a hollow
log in the thick woods that lay just
beyond the briar patoh, and to my
surprise out carne a snarling fuzzy
opossum that when, touched gently by
the stick turned on its side, coiled .it-
sef into a ball, closed its eyes, raised
its lips and laughed silently, 'I proved
onward, leaving the grinning beast
unharmed. Through these wood's and
then over the hill I passed, into the
meadow, over the next ridge and
down its side into Indian Hollow. As
I turned the top of the last ridge I
caught sight of a distant form, that
of a boy about my own size,who.
mounting the opposing ridge, direct-
ed his steps down the slope toward
the point I was approaching, •It was
''RediHead, my expected antagonist,
who true to his agreement, enet me
in the ravine where tradition said

did either df us say as we slowly
neared each other; there was no ne-
cessity for words, we knew our er-
rand. ,I wore a roundabout jacket,
which, just before we melt, I jerked
off and threw upon the .ground. But
he, the vicious boy's of recent' dais,
folded his arms across his chest, lift-
ed his head and made no aggressive
movement._ :I raised my fists and,
prepared for the tusts'1e, but instead off
a ,l'i'ke movement, 'he said; "H,it:me in

:Prof. Drake .had been entrusted
:with the, secret of ,our iiew-found
wealth', and he 'it was twin) spread the
in'fo'rmation concerning my prospect-
ive school plan's, adroitly adding :that
an unknown friend;' contributed `the
scholarship. ;E'vidently. he foresaw
that busy neighbors would ;question
aloud as to how t'he Widow Drew
could afford to spend money enough
to educate her son 'abroad; and. in
order to quiet those "busylbod'ies" he
had assumed the "responsibility of the
occasion."
But before I tell of things that oc-
,curned after a left (Stringtown that
autumn, in my round -about jacket, Iny
long, ;baggy trousers, my ,d'res's
.that from shoe to cap pictured the
crude' country boy; it is my duty to
relaite the incidents that 'occurred the
day before I left my :home.
((''hat day lI bade all my friends in
.Stringtown farewell. ,Neven• since
has parting. from friend or ,honne been
to me so full of pathos..
"Sammy," •said the grocer as he
thrust into my ,packet a present, ,that
was already tied neatly, thus s'hoiwing
that 'he had thought ,o'f my departure,
"don't forget'Stringtdwn:" And then
he squeezed my hand until the 'fingers
ached. IAs though Could ,ever fosget
my. old 'home!
Venerable 'Judge 'Elford held me
long by- the hand, ,looking me lull 10
the 'face. "Child, it has been many
years since my boy Charley- went
from our village to a college in Ohio;
he was about your age when 'he left
(Stringtown," :Then his voice trem-
bled, and he- said no more. 3 knew
the story of this boy there was no
need for him to tell it.
Nearing the home of Mr. Nordman,
the .old; gentleman on the ,pike south
of Stringtown, 'I. first caught sig'h't •of
a :boy on the 'fence by the side of; the
front gate. It was Red-iHead. •iI drew,
near, 'Ire gazed intently lite the ,pike,
toward the south, and gave me Do
recognition. I opened the gate and
close1l it, I could have :touched ,him
'had I !cared to do so, but neither of
us gave the.other the greeting of a
glance.
'And so you start (North to -mora'
ow?" ,said ' Mr. Nordman. ,
, t
"2fy hat, child; 'co:lie ,wnitii .me," I
handed it to him, and, ,togdtlher we
walked 'through .the house and down
,the 'ba'ack'walk, back to the graveyeard
where stood a single shaft., "You're
going ,North, my boy, and you'll hear
hard words about your Southern
friend's. ' ':Say. nnlothing 'b'ack; they, of
the North do :Lot .kndw us 01 `the
South; say no hard ,word back. (We're
whipped,_IStaniny, bat we were men..
My owns. dear (boy, who loved ithe
North, refits oil yon side 'of that shaft.
He to 'wllionn the :South was dear
sleeps on the other 'side. God ,grows
the :grasps alike over each; the snows
d,reps 'blopnn- mo •earlier; th,e roses'
'seentt is SO sweeter, over the one ,thane
over the other. 'The, 'waif is ;over,
child." '_
The village clerk, Mr. :Wagner,
drew m,e down Ihy his side as he seat-
ed'himself oiu a beinlch. Alasl 'his
chair was long since whittled ini,o:
I'm not afeard of bein' hurt. I'll not
strike back, but 1 dare yo' ter 'beat my,
head with the club, I wants ter ' git
paid fer bein' a fool. I'l'l' not flinch. Hit
me, I say."
"I Shall not do• it.' Who made you
promise' not to fight me?" -
His eyes ssnalpped. "Nobody made
me, I don't 'allow no one ter make me
do nu'tihin'; I jest promised not ter
'fight yo', and, I'll, do what I promised."
".'Whoa -did you pronnase "
"Susie."
iHe stood before me with folded
atoms, this wild mountain boy, my
'mortal enemy. "Susie begged me' not
ter fight yo', and I promised. I'm a
fool, but not a coward." -
"Why Aid she beg ;his of you?"
"I d'an''t know ,and 2 don •t care.
!She says t•het I didn't do 'yo' :Fair
when yo' offered 'ter stand by me in,
school. 'She's a girl, an' she cried
When I told 'her Chet I intended ter
'thrash y'o''fer-day, an' I promised not
ter do et; but •I hate yo'like sin', an'
yo' 'hate ane, an' 7 know et. We'll
come tergether .slome d'ay, yo' an' me."
"You needn't talk so sure about
whipping me," IT, replied. "You
would Nave' had to work before you
thrashed Inc. ,I don't thank Susie for
interfering 'any more 'than you do,"
rI 'continued, "but if you can't ,fight
me now I'll not hit you now." He
made a grimace at me and turned to
depart: Disdain was in 'his eye, hat-
red was in bis heart, but the wild
beast had found his master in a little
girl.
S stood until he had passed over
the' hill; not once ,did he glance back;
then as his head disappeared beneath
its summit II sank upon the grass. IA
double sensation .came over ane; re-
gret that the boy 'had met Susie 'was
.
commingled .with elation in ' ,the
thought that sheh'ad endeavoured to
prevent 'hint 'fromn 'hurting me, fWhy
should 'I have experienced either sen-
sation :But ,I did, and my mental
argument was carried •further. 'Might
not !I 'hove hurt .him?"..came next in
the thought line; "and might not her
care :have 'been for ,hien?"
Strange; sensation that, the begin-
ning of loove! S" had previously
thought of the girl vs I 'would of any
other person; until, now, only as 4
would o'f. any other child; but when
inq antagonist told me of her care for
one of us two, and said that she ex-
tractedan 'him him the ;promise not to
fight, 'I hated 'him the more for the
fact, hated him now strangely enough,
:because of ;Susie—'the girl I hadno't
seen for weeks, never in my life had
tried to meet, and who 'had ,not even
entered lny thoughts since lastwe
roper:
It seems almost like romance to say
that love, such as sprang into my
heart when my antagonist named
that girl, could 'have 'had place in the
soul of a child of iny. age. When, rI
canine Chown that hil'Iside to .fight' my
antagonist I',had no thought of love
other than for my ,mother, and he
'w'hom S sought .was but an enemy.'
When 11 .passed ,back again along that
same grassy siOpe are was not ;only
an enemy but a rival, .and iI realised
that ova's in love with the'outcast
girl of (Stringtown.

CHAPTER XLViII2:
The 'Weird Form Against The (Sky.
,Phe years passed and tfin'ally a well;
formed and well- informed young
man, I came home on top ,of the` same
old.:bus, driven, by the .same driver.
Now I wasready to start out into
the world to make 'a living, and I
will. add ,that 'a position had been of-
fered me, in a college 'weihknown
throughout the land, th,e position 'of
assistant to the professor of ,clteniist
ry
,T,he bus was late the afternoon I
came hoarse' for the last time from
school. ,Thedriver called ane mister
now, and 'spoke in a formal manner
fihalt 2 did not like. For .the first
time I appreciated that I' Was no
longer the Sammy Drew of 'former
years. In deference ,to my request,
he checked his team before myoMo
ther's door, ;where I alighted; ,before
that time nI should elot have ,presumed
to ask that favour, nor would he have
granted it to 'little Salinity ;Drew.
II
experienced a strange sensation
that afternoon, for it seemed as
though' Stringtown no 'longer possess -
ell ire as .part of 'herself. I felt like
a visitor. 'The 'houses, too, ,were sure-
ly very much smaller than when first.
I knew thein;. the- pavements more
narrow, the flat stones of the 'walks
were uneven and very rough; strange
that 1 hail never before ,observed this
fact. ,A group of children '!baked up at
me as 1I .passed; without a.word of
recognition they, resumed their marb-
le playing.' II 'then felt'a amental de-
pression; 'for on that very spot but a
'few years before, playing marbles, I
kneeled in the dirt, .a boy of String -
town known to .every other boy and
knowing ,every boy. 'Again my heart
sank, and yetagain and again, as r'e
turning incidents or new objects
thrust upon me the (fact that four.
years of a'bsenice, may ,produce great.
change's in a village if the absent one
was once really a ;part of the village.
Only the personwho looks with a
stranger's 'eye will say ''that change
comes ,not to humann'Iho'mes and 'hu-'
mai hearts ' in a sleepy village , 'that
seems to the .indifferent observer to
stand unchanged as decade -after de-
cade 'passes IStringtown .was no long-
er.'Stringto'wn to, me, neither- -was, it
now a part of 'Strungyows's • people.
"Mr,Drew" ;and "Samuel" fell ',on• my
ears... and grafted 'on' them, but there
were a few exceptions; to some pea'-
sons I was still Sammy. The malt
who first used that familiar term was
Judge Elford. I -le 'took me by the
hand and 'looked- anie in, the face,'
'Sarnmy," 'he said, "you 'did ''not ,get
into 'trouble and "did not send 'for me,
as'I feared you .might and asked you
to do in case you needed me;• you
have my admiration, A splendid rec-
ord you have 'made, but the' end is not
in sight; you may. yat require say ad-
vice. 'Remember, IS'a'nloy, you ,prom-
ised to ;follow it when the time ar-
rives."
