O'Mara Mautad ttia HenarabU Arotii- bald WIekaraham.
ean. Be, standing a little to one side, was smiling his queer, crooked, baud some smile, wtaiie Stepben O'Mara mauled the Honorable Archibald Wick¬ ersham with true riverman thorough¬ ness, wblch meant tbe Infliction of the greatest possible damage in the least possible time.
It grew very quiet when Caleb whirled the boy around and stood peering sternly down into bis battle streaked features. Allison strode quiet¬ ly up In that moment.
"Well?" Caleb didn't know Juat bow to begin, but his voice was cold. "Well, youug man, cau you explain Just what tbis means V"
"Nuthin'—nuthin' much," Steve re¬ plied, "only we was goln' to play Klnc Arthur and the Ivnigbts of the Rouud Table. He wanted to be her knight"— BU uncompUiuentary thumb indicated <he Hon. Arcbic>-"and—and so did I." This time his eyes went to Barbara, irho was listening, ber teeth sunk Ux
ber Up. "He wanted to be her knight, an'—an' he ain't got no call to lie, be¬ cause in cn^e of trouble or anything he couldn't purtett hor. He couldn't flgbt good enouRli to take gond keer o' her, becuut^e I kin fl>;lit better. I—I Just licUed him to iirovc it."
"But 111 the dnys w ticii kniKhthoml waa in Jiower. .Sti'Vc," Ciileb e.\iilalneil ponderously, "the—tlio fair ladles al¬ ways clio.se tiielr own kiilKbts, didn't they?"
And Just then the litili^ j.'li'l, her eyes twill shiifls nf seiu-iiiK scorn curled her liiis nt hini iin.l fairly spat out the word.s in hor sliakini.' rave
"Yon—you-my knlj;htV" she half whispered. '•Yon:" .Vnd she turned her back nnd went, .solicitously, to¬ ward Archie nnd his niniilcd ilothes.
Bven Alii.snii sto|>|)cil sniillug. even Davereau   fori;ot   iiis   curious   amuse-
ner meaning struck mm like a blow be¬ tween the tyes.
"I ain't good enougb to be your knight, am I?" he accused bor In u hushed and vibrant voice. "I—I don't know enough, ner I can't talk good enougb to be your knight. I ain't goo<l enough fer you. But I'm a-goln' to be —do you bear? I'm a-goin' to be. An' when I am—when I am—then I'll com>> back to you!"
This time, rigid as a lance, he disap peared from sight. Caleb stood star ing at the ground. Allison stood and stared at the horizon.
Steve did not come downstairs for sapper that night, and wbeu be failed to appear at the breakfast hour both Caleb and Sarah mounted to his room, fear in their hearts. The bed had not been slept in. The sheets were not |.even disarranged, but there was a scrap of paper pinned to one pillow slip. It wasn't written in "book lan¬ guage," that short message, for it was not his grain, but his heart which had phrased it:
I'm a-comin' back—I'm comin' back tn you some day when they won't be nu need fer you to be ashamed fer me. I'm takin' my new clothes with me because I knowed you would a-wanted me to—.and the shoes too. I'm askIn' you to take keer of ole Bamanthy til I come fer her—an 1 Miss Barah ain't got no call to worry, fe' I eould always take keer o' myself.
It was signed "Stepben O'Mara."
Sarah's face went white when she had read It throngb. Her knees weak¬ ened 'nnder her, and sbe bad to ait down.
"Why, Cal—wby, Cal, hes—he's gone!" fibe quavered.
And Coleb nodded down into he- stricken face.
"Yes, be—he's gone!" bo breathed.
Sarah swallowed hard. Then two bright tears crept out from undor hci' eyelids and went coursing; rtown he.- cheeks. She rose and groped ber wn • to ber own room.
Caleb found Barbara Allisou wuitin,' in the living room wben be, still uunil) from the shock, went back dowu?italis. She came up to him nnd stood a mo¬ ment, twining the fingers of oue band within those of tbe other.
"I want to see Stephen, please, Un¬ cle Cal," sbe faltered.
Caleb drew a. deep and unsteady breath.
"Steve isn't here, Barbara," he said as gently as he could.
The child didn't understand.
"Pather sent me over to apologize," she explained slowly. "I'm to tell bim that I'm sorry. But I—I want to tell him, too, that if I couldn't have him for my knight I—I wouldn't ever bave any knight at alir*
Caleb felt a tightening at US' throat which made speech difflcolt
"But Steve has gone away," he man¬ aged to gulp.
A shadow came into the bigr dark eyes lifted to bis.
"He'll be back for breakfast, won't he?" sbe asked hopefully.
"I'm afraid not, Barbara. I'm afraid now that be may never come back— agahi."
She didn't understand what he meant at flrst, so Caleb tried to explain. But when bis voice broke and trailed off Into a husky whisper there was no further need of esplanatlon. She ran then and threw herself In a passion of tears upon a window seat in the cor¬ ner. Caleb found his chair. And after a time he felt a small baud touch bi.s sleeve; be felt a wet cheek preS8e<l tight to his own.
"Ob, don't you feel so badly, too Uncle Cal," Barbara sobbed. "Please, please! Because be Is coming back: He told me he would; he told me he would himself!"

CHAPTER Vt. My Man O'Mara.
IOU a week and more Caleb Hunter scoured the surrouud- iuf,' country. Ilo whipped over tbe hills in every direction. half hopeful that he uiisht overtnlu' the boy who had wne iu the night. But none of the larmers on the out lying roads liud seen pass their way a little foot traveler such as he de¬ scribed, and after a time even that small hope died.
When Dexter Allison cnmo over tlic next dny. his face far more portuiHied thau Caleb had ever before seeu It li> the news which r.arbaia In tears hnd carried to hini, toirctlier the two men searched for Slevi'. driving' in silence through the country until Ihey both realized that the search was useless. And nt Inst, one day in early fnll, Caleb .'Started alone upon bis errand Into that stretch of timber to the north which the boy himself hnd vaguely designated as "up river."
He silent a week in the saddle before he located the cabin of the .Tenklnses In an Isolated eienriug upou tho main branch of ttie river. And even then, when be did locate the .lenkinse.s, it took hour.s of quli-t ar;;unient before Caleb could convince those .shy and suspicioiLs iH'ople that his en-and was an honest one. Kvenlually they Uid come to believe hini. They led him afoot another half mile up tho timber frlnued stream to a los cabin set bnik in the balsams upon a needle carpeted knoll. And tbey stood nnd .stared In stolid wonder at this iiorlly man in riding breeches nud leather puttees when he tina?Iy eiiierwd from thnt small shack. Oid Tom's tin box under his arm, and with lips wcrkin;;.strange¬ ly ijinned the door shut bdiiiid him.
Caleb left in tho limp tlnjiers of the head of the .lenkins' household a yd ; low tinted note of a denomination which tbey hnd not even known exist- e<l. Ue left tbem balf doubting its genuineness until later when tbere came an opportunity to spend it Aud Sarah was watting at the door of tho irhite place on the hill when Caleb wheeled into tbe yard at duak two days later.
"You've found him!" she exclaimed aa she glimpaed bis face when be en- *mraa tbe ball.
caico snooK hl>f"heaa, his heart ach¬ ing at the hunger In her question.
"No, I hnven't foc.nd bim, Sarah," be said gently enough. "But I—I've found out wbo he is."
They forpot their supper tbat night. With beads close together they hung for hours over the ink smeared sheaf of papers which the tin box yielded up. Most of theni were covered with a crampe<l and iiilsspelh^d handwritini; which tbey knew must be that of the one whom Steve hud called "Old Tom.' Some of them were hard to decipher, but their import was very, very clear. There was one picture, a miniature of a girl, entrer of fnce and wavy of hair. Her relationship to the lioy was unmistakable. Sarah found that and wept over it silently, nnd while she wept Caleb sifted out the remaining loose sheets.
"It's not bard to understand now, is it?" he said. "It's pretty plain now why he had fo go. And we, Sarah-we who were going to 'make something of him'—why, we should bave known absolutely without th;s evidence. They laughed nt him, they made fuu of him, and there isn't any better blood thau flows In that hoy's veins! He was Stepben O'Mara's son, and no more brilliant barrister than O'Mnra ever addre.s.sed a jury of a prl.soner's peers and—and broke their very hearts with the simplicity of his pleading."
Sarah folded ber thin hands over the woman's picture.
"I like bis mother's face," sbe mur¬ mured faintly. "And I'm jealous of her, Cal! You don't bave to remind me of the rest of it. either, for I re call it all. She died and he—lie wenl all to pieces. They said at his death tbat he wns destitute. AnJ when he did follow her—across—tliey hunted everywhere, didn't thcy, and never found the boy? Iddn't some of tlic newspapers artrue that a servant—a j-'ardencr -had stolen him?" Caleb noddc(l his head. "Most of them ridiculed the sufrues tion. but it was true, just the same. Thnt servant was Old Tom. And tb- only defense he makes is just one line or so in—in this." Caleb dropped a hand uiwn the half legible i^aj-'cs. "He says thut he wasn't going to let civili¬ zation make of the boy's life the wreck which he, poor, (lueer, honest soul, thought it bad mnde of bis father's. And do you know, Sarah, do you know, I can't help but believe that tbis over- zealous thing wblcb the law would have prosecuted was the best thing be could have done? I'll take these things now and lock them in the safe for the boy until be comes back home!"
But Sarah Hunter kept the picture of Stepben O'Mara^a-iBOthar separate from the raet; she took it upstabs with her when she went, white and tired faced, to bed. And It was Sarah's faith which outlasted the years whicli followed. She never weakened in her belief that some day the boy wouid come back—she and one other who.se faith in bis iast boyish promise, pbras ed In bitterness, also endured. For during the next flve years there was not a summer wblch brought Allison into the hills but what the flrst ques¬ tion of bis daughter Barbara, mother¬ less now herself, was of Steve.
"Has—bas Stephen come back?" she naked invariably.
At flrst the iiuery was marked by nothing more thau a child's naive ea¬ gerness, and later, when It was brought up in a casual, by tho way fashion, it was, nevertheless, tinged with hope. Fivo yenrs leivgthened into ten, and still Steve did not come. But when¬ ever Harbnrn asked that iiuestion Ca- ,eb remembered, as though It had bap- jened only yesterday, that moruiug (Then she tirst miieured to the boy.
sne paused nt <'nlel)S side ni.d bolihoi' her head witli a chnracteristic impel uoslty which she had never lost she seemed complntely oblivious to the presence of nnv one snve Caleb nnd herself.
"Good inornlny, Unnle Cal." she mnr mured very dprnurely.
Then the man upon the Ktep.i moved He rose nnd turned nnd swept his rather weather beaten hnt from his bead. His hnir wns still wavy, still chestnnt in the shadows. And Caleb, though he could not force a word from his tightened thront. innrveled how tall the boy bad grown—how paradoxically broad of shonlder and slender of body beseemed to be.
Dexter Allison, comiiitc up less airily across the lawn, surprised his daugh ter poised with one hnnd outstretched. red lips hnlf open. He found her stnr- big, velvet eyed and pink of face, at a tall figure in  blue flannel aud cordu-

Theu came a morning when Stephen O'Mara did return. .Vli winter and throughout the summer, too, the Hun ter placo had been closed until thai day In late Octolier It had been a warm week—a week of such unseason able humidity for the hills that Caleli. rising somewlint before his usual h'lur. had blamed bis sleeplessness, a.s usual, upon the weather. lie wus glnd to be home again that morning. Caleb was wondering if Itarlmra would bo witli her father on this trip. Barbara bad, he knew, been two yenrs on the conti¬ nent, "tiiiishing," .\llisou cnlled it. nl¬ wnys witii a wry face and a gesture toward his wallet pocket. He was wonderiii,-,' ns he cnme down the stairs if slie would nsk liim again if—If—and theu at the siglit of n seated flgure outside on the top step ol* t!ie veranda bo pulled up sharp in the doorway.

ber body was beating consciousness of
bla nearness.    And vet at that wheu
"I   always   told   them   that   you   would come back," she murmured,
roy, and. nlthough he had never seen him iu all the months that the latter hud beeu in his employ, Allison ki w this must be the one in whose keeping lay, directly or indirectly, the success or failure of tlie biggest thing he had ever attempteii iu this north country— tho mnu to whom he always referred, wbetrever he boasted of his exploits, as "my uinn O'Mara."
"I always told theni that you would cume back." she murmured then. "Just as you—you said you would."
Tbe remark wns barely loud enough for even Steve to hear, but hard uiion its utterance she caught her breath in auger nt herself for her own seuseles.s confusion, v, Liirli had led her into say ing the one thing she least of all had wanted to v^ice. Even au inaiie re mark concerning the weather would have been better thnn tliat girlish naivete whicii she felt seemed to force ui>on him. too. a recollection of the very letter of a (iromise which had. no doubt, long s'nie become in his miiul nothins l)Ut n iiuniiit episode not un- tinged with absurdity.
"Hum-m-m:" puffed Allisou. ••Hum m-ra!" He sjioke directly to Stephen O'Mara. who hnlf turned his hend at tho lirst heavily facetious syllable. "So you did get my niessat'o, eh? I rather thou'-'ht that it wouldn't reach you up river until b.day." An ample smile embraced the tall flgure lu riverman's
garb nnd his own daughter's crimson countenance—a most meauingful smile of roguery. "Well, from what I've heard," he state.1. ";;ii 1 what I've   • «
