Copyright. 189s. ; ' ' " A VACATION VAGABT. "Whatever brought you to Tregar then, Mr. King-brand? It seems to me to be the last ilace in the world where an author could hope to find material." "Who has been accusing me of any such intention, Mrs. Ludlow?" "Why, an accusation isn't necessary; everyone knows that when an author can be induced to exchange the literary atmosphere of his respected Boston, or his beloved Jew lork, for the prosaic surroundings of a dingy little coal mining village in the Tennessee moun tains, there must be a stronger motive tnan a mere signtseer s cunosny. "Perhaps you are right. And yet think you are a little severe; if one were seeking inspiration, what could be -v.-ard the moonlit picture of valley and TnoiiTttniiV frrimivl w thf -nillnrs of th( veranda. "But I assure you, as I said a moment ago, 1 couldn't give a sen sible reason for coming here inasmuch as I did not know that you were hiber nating in Tregarthen. I'm not sure which was the more surprised when we met this morning, Ludlow or my- calf T Lod Irtct troot nf vnn wftn iffn " "But we hadn't of you thanks to the magazines. And that brings m& back what can you find worth studying here?" Kingbrand laughed. "You positive ly refuse to be diverted, don't you ? Per haps I couldn't find anything, but from the Jittle I've seen of place and people I should say there was a perfect mine of story-telling material if one would take the trouble to develop it." "I can't see where you would findit. "That's because you live here; you're unable to get the perspective of un familiarity on the quaintness of the people or the beauty of the scenery, The things that are curious and inter esting to a newcomer are commonplace to you, because you see them every day." "I'm sure it's very nice of you to put it in that way; one likes to be told that one comes short of genius only in un familiarity. But you haven't told me yet why you came to Tregarthen.' "Mrs. Ludlow, you're positively In corrigible. I assure you I left New York a week ago with only one clearly- defined idea; that was that I was over worked and weary and needed a vaca tion. Everybody goes to Europe and to the resorts in summer, and I wanted , to get away from the crowd; if you please, you may call that a reason for my coming south. My ticket ran out at Nashville, but the quiet of your beautiful capital city didn't compensate for the unspeakable heat, sV I took to the road again, with Asheville for a des tination." "That's all beautifully clear and reasonable up to a certain point, Mr. King-brand. Now, if you will only tell me what possessed you to leave your comfortable parlor car to come away up here on a coal train, I'll be satisfied." 1 The shadow on the veranda prevent ed the lady from seeing the look of em barrassment that flitted across the face vi uci viaiwi, a.uu uia ucaiiauuu m im 1 i-: i : . : plying was fortunately covered by the entrance of his host. "Sit down here, Ludlow," he said; "Mrs. Ludlow has had me in the confessional for the last nan nour, ana x was just upon tne point of concocting a pure fabrication to account for my being m Tregarthen un t you explain to ner that a man may . sometimes do unaccountable things?" , One would think an explanation wouldn't be necessary," replied Ludlow. cynically, tossing his hat into the hall . and drawing up a chair. "Let's see. how long have we been married, Helen ?' "Long enough to make me very cu rious and inquisitive, as Mr. Kingbrand js just finding out. He confesses that he didn't know we were here, and he can't give any plausible reason for giv ing up his trip to Asheville." Tm not surprised; if the Tregar- " . then Coal & Iron company could get along without a superintendent for a month or such matter, I believe I'd go on: and do something unaccountable . myself; it's a part of my creed that a man should be totally irresponsible on - a vacation. But see here, Kingbrand, if you're going to stay in Tregarthen you've got to come to us; I'm not going to have you put up at that miserable -excuse for n hotel down in the village. You'll die of dyspepsia in a week." "You are Good Samaritans," replied . JUngbrand, laughing; "I've got it al ready dyspepsia, 1 mean. - Why, Mrs. Ludlow, you've no conception of what they've been making me eatdown there ! For breakfast I had salt bacon, biscuits and potatoes; for dinner there were potatoes, biscuits and salt bacon; and for supper they varied the bill of fare . by leaving out the potatoes. And the biscuits upon my soul, you never saw anything like them in your life!" -.'"Oh, yes, I have," responded the lady, cheerfully; "let me describe them: they were about half an inch thick, anil when you took ; one ' between your . thumb- and finger, so, you could press : the grease out of the edge. But didn't ijfihey give you any coffee?" V ""I think not; I certainly had some thing to drink, but I'm quite positive by J- B- Llpplncott Co J it wasn't coffee. Indeed, now that you mention it, I remember having made a note of it with the intention of asking the landlord to define it for me." "I don't know what we've been thinkinc of. to let you stay there at all," interposed Ludlow. "If you'll ex cuse us for a few minutes, my dear, we'll just step down and get King brand's luggage to-night I suppose vou travel in a grip, don't you, Hugh?" "Yes, or at least in two of thenl; they're not heavy, though." Two days earlier, while his train was stopping at Chilwanee Junction to transfer passengers to the narmony Valley branch. Hugh Kingbrand had seen a girl descend from the through train and cross the platform to the ac commodation. She was strikingly beautiful, after a type quite unfamiliar to the student; and the passing glimpse he had of her face made him wish that he might study it at leisure. It sud denly occurred to him. that there was nothing in his purposeless plans to pre vent it; and he hastily transferred him self and his belongings to a seat in the other train, whence he could continue his observations. The study, once be gun, the beauty of her face grew upon him, pushing him swiftly to the conclu sion that nothing short of acquaint ance would enable him to complete his character-sketch; and, not being a commercial traveler, the simpler method of obtaining the desired de gree of intimacy did not suggest it self. On the contrary, he could think of no better expedient than to leave the train at the young lady's destination, trusting to the chapter of accidents for further help. The absurdity of this hastily-approved design appealed to his sense of humor when the conductor 1 asked for his fare and he was unable to tell the official where he wanted to go. "I have no ticket," he said, "but I mil pay to the end of the line. How much is it?" "To Kingville, sah?" "Yes, that's the place Kingville. It's singular how these names escape one, isn't it?" "Oh, I dunno," replied the man; "I forgit sometimes, m'self. Two dollars and fo'ty cents. There's your change." 1 The accommodation was a mixed train of empty coal and iron cars tow ing a single passenger coach; and on its slow progress up the valley Eingbrand had ample opportunity to analyze his subject so far as simple observation would serve him. Before they reached Tregarthen he had a fair mental pic ture of the oval face, lighted by eyes of a dusky hue rarely seen in the Anglo- Saxon types; and he had even gone so far as to try to transfer it from his mental camera to a leaf of his note book. The pencil-picture was fairly good, from a technical point of view, but when he saw how the black-and-white suggestion failed to give even a hint of the transparency of her com plexion, or of the changeful expression that came and went on her face as she turned the leaves of her book, he tore it up and dropped the fragments out of the window. The book suggested an idea, and he got up and walked down the aisle, catching the title in passing. " 'St. Elmo,' " he mused ; "that's healthy, but it s up indication of character; suppose every young woman reads Miss Evans. She's reading intelligently," though; anyone can see that; she doesn't look as if she'd be guilty of skimming. How the 'mischief am ever to find out who she is? Hello! she's putting the book away; this must be her stopping-place. The train was slowing into Tregar then, and Eingbrand got his luggage ready for a strategic pursuit. It was quite dark by this time, and he did not mean to lose sight of her until he was quite sure of her destination. : When the train stopped she tripped lightly up the aisle, and Kingbrand followed, reaching the car door in time to see the conductor help her down the steps; but when he. attempted to get off, the man stopped him. "Hold on," he exclaimed; "this ain't your town; we ain't half way there yet.- That s all right.- I want to stop here. I ve changed my mind, pro tested Hingband, trying to get past him. Well, jest hold on a minute; don't be in sich a turrible rush; I collected your fare to Kingville, an I've got too much of your money. "Hang your fare! I don't want it, Let me get off." "All right, cap'n; jest as yon say," replied the over-zealous conductor, swinging Bingbrand's valise to the platform.' VThere you are, right side up with care." ; .'' . - As he had feared.the slight delay lost him his opportunity; when his glance searched the small platform, his travel ing companion had disappeared, and he was not the man to make hap-hazard inquiries about her of the straggling loungers at the station. When t he train had departed, he Baw the glare of an iron furnace a short distance farther up' the track, and the twinkling lights of a town on the hillside above the sta tion. , While he was wondering if there was s hotel, a decrepit old negro hob bled up to him, hat in hand. ; "Cyar yo baggage up to de hotel sah? Yes, sah; 't'ank yo', sah. Bight long dish yere way, sah." "Got a good hotel here, uncle?" in quired Eingbrand, as they toiled up the steep hillside. . .--.:- ; . . . "Eight sma't good hotel,; sah; yes, sah; t'ank yo', sah. Hit's de one what Gin'ral Jackson yoosted to stop at when he's gwine to Washin'ton, fo' de wah ; Kingbrand had not been long enough in east Tennessee to know that every hostelry within 100 miles of the crossing of the Clinch river made similar claim, but the conceit struck him as being a quaint one, and it oc curred to him that the ancient negro was probably an old resident and there fore acquainted with most of the fami lies in the neighborhood. : ' "Did you see Miss Miss Montague e-et off the train just now, uncle?" he inquired, nonchalantly, hazarding guess at the name in the hope that his guide would correct him. "Who, me? No, sah; thank yo, sah, I doesn't know any lady o' dat name, sah. Didn't see no lady git off de train no, sah." , , That grappling hook having come up empty, Eingbrand was compelled to await further developments; and a3 he smoked his after-supper cigar in the dingy little office of the hotel, ho tried to convince himself that the prese nt ad venture was only another exanvple of the persistent obstinacy with which he had pursued other quests in the study of his art. The effort may have been wholly successful, but the conclusion did not enable him to banish the pic ture of the girl's face, which haunted him even after he had gone to sleep amid the dismal furnishings of Gen Jackson's room. The following morning he was fortu nate' enough to stumble uponLudlow, " Cyax" yo" besffe as to de hotel, saaF" who was an old friend and one of his college classmates. The meeting af forded the plainest possible solution of the author's problem, but he seemed somehow auite unable to frame the simple inquiries which would have solved it. He reasoned that Ludlow would misunderstand his motives; that he would be accused of falling in love with a pretty face; that if it would be indelicate to question strangers about the girl's identity, it would be imperti nence to ask his friend. So it happened that two days slipped by without bring ing him any nearer to the object of his visit to Tregarthen, and he was be ginning to noia nimseu in aerision, when a lucky chance brought him the opportunity for which he was waiting, It was on the day following his instal lation at Ludlow's, and he was return ing from a visit to the furnace with his host. They stepped aside at a nar row place in the hill side road to let a buggy pass. Eingbrand lifted his hat in deference to his friend s salutation to the occupants of the vehicle, and nearly let it fall when he realized that he was face to face with the object" of his search. , "Who are they?" he asked, as soon as they had driven on. "That's Col. Latimer and his daugh ter Hester," replied Ludlow. '.. "By the way, if you want to make character studies, there's a good chance for you, The colonel's an old-time southern gen tleman of the school that you authors are always attempting to portray and can't. Here's the opportunity of your life to get a picture that'll be as good as a photograph. "I should be delighted to improve it,' responded Eingbrand; can "you sug gest the means?". "Nothing easier; though I fancy it'll be to our detriment. The colonel's one of our directors, and he was the orig inal owner of the Tregarthen coal lands ; his hospitality is as wide as the heav ens. If I introduce you he'll be carry ing you off to 'The Laurels, and we'll lose you." : "Don't be too sure of that; I'm pretty comfortable where I am. But I should like to make the colonel's .acquaint ance. Where is The Laurels?" "It's up on the mountain, just where you see that clear space beyond the mine-opening. - It's an old-fashioned Tennessee .home wide verandas, big rooms, immense fireplaces, and all that. You could get a lot of good material out .of the place not to mention the colonel and his son and Miss Hester." "Yes, I suppose I could; but, Ludlow, be a good fellow, now, and drop the idea that I'm an animated interrogation-point, going7 about with a Paul Pry nose and a reporter s note-book. Don't you see that a hint of such a thing would be likely to prejudice her from the start?" - . "Prejudice whom? Miss Hester?' What's she got to do with it?". ' , To be continued.

Resolved, That we praise our Father heaven for that Christian faith and strength which armed our sister with courage to look without dread into the 'unveiled face of death," and in the last hour eonnd the note of triumph, "All is well." - Resolved, That we, the members of the Good Intent Society, pray the Lord of. the harvest that He raise up some one of our number upon whom the mantle of onr departed - sister may fall, and 1 show that God buries His workmen, but carries on His work. Resolved, That we kneel with the grief-stricken husband at God's altar and say: "The Lord gave, the Lord bath taken away ; blessed be the name of the Lord," whose mercy endureth for ever and whose voice is ever whispering to the disconsolate, "I love thee, I love thee, pass under the rod." ' ' - Resolved, That : onr secretary be In structed to spread the resolutions on the records of our society and request their publication - in : The - Chboniclb and Times-Mountaineer and a copy cent to Mr. Henry Taylor.
