"Ii Judy TolUvari Kirn she-chlldl Now, son" he nodded to Rossy McAfee, "in (how you around little, and after that we'll go to your home. You'll like it at Doc Tollivar a. fine man, Prexy i. Mighty in terested In our athletic teams. Baseball especially. That's his favorite game." "Er, did he ever play baseball, reckon?" the lank mountain youth inquired, as they made a round of the gym. He tried to keep cun ning out of his voice as he lis tened to all the coach said about the athletic program, about the basketball team now being his emblem child. Coach Hurd gave him a look., Maybe. Maybe not How snouia I know? He never said anything about it If he did. Why?" he de manded. . "I I just wondered," Rossy said confusedly. Coach Hurd bored him with a look that Rossy was to learn had hot iron In it "You said aome ViW while affo that's got me minled. About aU ToUivers,i whether their name Is spelled with an a or e, being rascals " "I was just palavering," Rossy hastened to say. "I open my jaw and things run out sometimes." "But about that baseball game In Hell'n-Damnation when your father got hit with a bean ball and killed. Was that true?" I -I never meant nothing by hat" , Coach Hurd kept boring him.! "Well, if that's the way you mean' to mean nothing, then you'd bet-' ter be careful when you do mean something, for you might let; something drool out of your mouth i that would get you into trouble."! "I'U be careful," McAfee mum-1 bled. i "You'd better be, for youl pounded as if you meant the thing was done on purpose; in other words, your dad was murdered In a baseball game; and by a Tolliver. That sort of talk is all light in the back hollers if you're of a mind to back it up with am bushes; but down here we aim to ' be civilized, and it wont go. I say that to you now in all frank ness and friendliness, because now you're in college you want to go about setting educated and is more things than books " "Shore, shore!" Rossy agreed glibly. "So leave the hm feudln' to the hills, and start even here. I keep telling you Or. Tollivar is anotner breed of pups. He didn't come from that mob of killers back of Hell'n-Damnation." "Certain not," Rossy McAfee said. "Huhl" Coach Hurd muttered, and nodded for the young mountaineer to come along. He carried his grip and bag across' the campus and crossed the street from the administration building and girls' dorm to the square large brick house where Dr. Tol livar lived, , . "The young man's room Is ready," a matronly maid said, as Coach Hurd and Rossy knocked and entered. "This way." . Once in the small but clean; and warm room, the coach said, "You just make yourself at home." WITHIN a few days Rossy Mc " Afee was settled in his new home. It was not easy for him to acquire comfort in his new sur roundings. He was accustomed to' a hard, bare mountain house. He was accustomed to seeing his mother tote water from the spring. Running water scared him in some curious way. He used to sleep on a corded bed. An inner spring mattress, with two sheets, made I him want to spread his lankness on the bare floor and take it hard. But an unused bed would have created suspicion, so he toughed it out and liked It He watched Dr. Tollivar warily. Always he searched for clews to the man's former life, the possi bility the college president could have been the same person who pitched the bean-ball that killed Rossy's father. But all he saw was a portly, kindly man who could not possibly have been the hated Tolliver. , Judy was just as sweet and fine I as she could be. She was always trying to make Rossy feel at 'home; and he found himself watching her, even making up opportunities to observe her when she would not know he was about She was a dream. A dream of athletic poetry. Rossy had seen lall young poplars in mountain torms wave with the same grace (that was hers. He had knowni rose blooms that had the manner' lot this girL With no consent of ihls own, something was changing in him. Once they were alone In his; room. Judy stood and examined' the picture of Hannah, a smile hovering at her dimples. "To Rossy, my sweetheart,'", aha read on the back of the pho tograph. "So that's the way of itl" I she said, shaking a finger playfully at him. "Ah, that don't mean nothing pecially," Rossy denied, his face hot as a flaUron. "I sea it doesn'tl" she teased him. TUDY helped him to register, when the day came for matric ulation.. Coach Hurd started thai young ball player oft on his job as janitor. "It's the only way we nave or subsidizing our athletes," the coach said. "Sweep mat noor good, bub!" iiegisirauon was over uim w afternoon. The campus now was alive with young people, as Rossy had pictured it In his anticipa tions. Everything seemed so crowded and noisy he was an noyed and worried. Too many folks to suit him. Nor were they all hill-billies. Actually Rossy seemed about the only real, dyed-in-the-wool hilliken on the campus. Everywhere he went students stared at him. He caught some of them only half hiding their grins. He wanted to kick some body. That evening be ate little supper and hurried to his room to nurse his anger and humilia tion in private. Ha was startled half out of his wits at a shrill, determined female voice, that was like something familiar crying out of a dream one has dreamed many times. "Yes, sir, I said to myself if Rossy McAfee could come to col lege, so could X, and I cornel And here 1 ami" Dr. Tollivar and Judy and the visitor were all down in the big front room. Rossy opened and shut his mouth. He darted through his door and went and stood just out of view at the head of the stairs. His eyes got round and strange. The tableau down there froze everything in him. "Tm Hannah Shrider," the girl said, and waited, almost defiant "Don't reckon you ever heard of me." "Why, yes, we have," Judy said, and Rossy knew she was hiding her amusement Hannah Shrider, holding her grips in her hands, made a stride toward the center of the room. She was lost in a thick wool coat of homemade stuff, and heavy shoes and wool fascinator, of knma weave. Nothing of her natural shapeliness was apparent Her face, out of uus mass oi wrappings, seemed sharp-featured rather than pretty, as Rossy knew it to be. And she was riding on her nerve. Her voice waa stri dent, loud, and not the musical alto he knew at the all-day sing ing in the hill church. "Yes, sir," Hannah was saying again, "I said to myself if Rossy McAfee had wit enough to come to college and git book eddlcatlon, then so could I, for I got as much ma as him any day. I told maw i that, I told my maw that So here I am. If you laKen nossy in nu bedded and fedded him, 1 allow you will me." (To Be Continued) THE"ttEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, ORE.
