CHAPTER H
MT30V oh boyt" Coach Hurd re-:
D prated. "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."
