Steve took the hand and closed bH brown fingers bard upon tbe pufT.v white ones. For an instant he stood, his eyes, grave and inscrutable, full upon Allison's smaller ones.
"I'm tol-lable," he drawled soberly. "And—boow be you—yourself?"
Allison gasped, stood with moutli agape and then burst into one of bit rather too frequent, too hearty lauij;bs.
"Well, I'm"— be began his favorite phrase of ejaculation, and then stop¬ ped to loolc down again into the smnll face before hlm. "Well, I'm"— and ba stopped to chucltle. Then he turncil back to Caleb.

The Boy Rose and Stood Hat In Hand, Gravely Quist.
prideful something which had wnrmoil him while Steve was shaking hands. He smiled mechanically.
"I suppose It's tbe usual raid upou the commissary," he answered.
Allison mounted heavily to the veranda.
"Right!" he exclaimed. "Right! You'll notice that Barbara Iiaa already gone on ahea<^. She's the skirmish line—scouts — rdettes — whatever you please to call 'em. There's no one up yet—none of the family—over to our place. We are hungry, Cal. I hope thia Is waffle morning."
Caleb smiled at bim, less impersonali¬ ty in the mirth. It was a regular cus¬ tom, this tniancy of Barbara Aiiison and ber father—onn of the little bnman foibles which Caleb often told bimaelf accounted, in part at least, for bis teal Uking of the man.
"Waffles it is," he said, and be tam¬ ed toward ^ttae boy.
"Would you mind flnding Miss Barah- Steve?" he asked. "WUl you tell her, please, that we are to be sub¬ jected to another neighborly imposi¬ tion?"
After the boy had disappeared Caleb followed the larger man to a chair. And this time it was Caleb who met Allison's silence with a challenging, "WeU?"
••Where did you get him, Cal?" AIU son demanded. "Wliere did you get bim? Those shoea and those tiouser-t- panta, I guess Is the word, eb? Aud, ¦ay, how tbat little beggur did squeeze my band!   Look here!"
He held one soft hund up for Inspec¬ tion. There were faint red welts still Tislble aci'ws tbe flnger Joints.
"Priend ef yours, did you sayT'
Wltbont stopping to think at>out It Caleb was not so keen to enlarge upon tbe boy's obvious "points" as he had been witb Sarah. He omitted to men¬ tion bis thoughts of the night before, and be omitted any reference to Old Tom, except for tbe most hazy expla¬ nation tbat the boy bad no Immediate kin. But with an increasing eagemcs:i be dUated upon tbe sniall foot travel¬ er's flrst view of the "city," his breath¬ less reception of Allison's own switch engine and hlH avowed Intention tc» "look oround a trifle" liefore lie located something to do.
"I thought I'd tuko hlm down thN morning und gei MfI.ean to give hlm u ride in tbe onli of one of those slice; irou steam relics of yours." he tin ished.
If Caleb lind expeoteij his umulnmeil recitation of tlie boy's apiieniaiice tn m^ke any Impression npon his hearer he would huve lieen dlsuppoliited. But without auy confessed reason for ri dolnir Caleb aimed ratber at tho oppo¬
site elTect. And Allison turned from 11 with a large, matter of fact indiffer¬ ence to rise nnd bow lo Sarah Hunter, who nppenrcil thnt moment In the dour- way.
"Surely—surely," he echoed Caleli'1 suggestion. "Take him down and giv-i hira n ride. McLean 'll lie f:lnd of tli t chance to kIiow some one his pet buz-/.- saws and tilings. I'll wulk down wltli you myself after breakfust. I may li-i away for a day or two. and I want 11 leave directions for changes to lie in¬ corporated while I'lu gone."
At the lalile that morning Caleb not¬ ed that there was no hesitation in Steve's seleciion from the silver besIiVt his plate, no wnlting to follow In tlii! lead of Sarah Hunter's choice. He no¬ ticed, too, that the hoy's eyes did not once lift to those of Barbara .Mllsnn. op>;oslte him. .\nd. while the 1111:1 girl from time to timo Joined in Ihi conversation, he not once opened lii 1 mouth to speak until they were nlni"-: ready to rise from their places.
Barbara Allison insisted upon Join¬ ing the excursion down to the mill tha; morning. Sbe developed a sudden ami unshakable resolve to be one of thn party, and after his remonstrances had flnally brought stormy tears to he' eyes Allison surrendered In perplexity to her whim.
"All right, then," he gove in. "If you wnnt to come as mnch as all thot. but—but you—now, run along, then, with Stephen."
On the way down the hill he voiced his perplexity to Caleb.
"When it comes to dealing with men," he said. "I pride myself upoii being Bble to go back rather Incisively to first motives. Rut the other sex is beyond me. She's alwnys turned iiii her dainty nose at the noise and dirt before, nnd—nnd now sho's rendy to cry beeanse I snKt,'est thnt she wait with Miss Sarah until we return."
Caleb's eyes rested upon the oddly mntclii'd little onniil(» niteatl In tho io:"l. The boy was can-yiiii; his lmttcr(>d hit; In his li.ind. Imt Barl in ra walked wii'i small lie.'id up, without a single !-'!;ui'-o for her escort. Cnleb, noting Wf.i.. Steve's head was forward thnt':'. knew that his eyes mnst be fa.«tei.e I hungrily upon the town In the vnlle, , and he understood the reuson for I'le disdainful tilt of the little girl's cliin. for even nt the age of ten Barbara .Al¬ lison was uot accustomed to inatten¬ tion. Caleb smiled ratber covertly for him.
"I never knew but one woman whose motives were absolutely transparent," he mused. "And sbe—she was the most uninteresting, unsuccessful fe¬ male person I over did know."
As Allison had promised, they found McLean, the white haired mill super¬ intendent, only too eager at the pros¬ pect of an audience for one of hi.-< voluble tours of the premlsea. Bnt when Caleb had explained tbe mntn errand upon which they had come, aft¬ er a long, keen scrutiny of the boy's face, the burly riverman led the way without a word to a wheezing old two wheeler in the piling yard.
"So you'll be wantln' to take a spin In one av me Ingines, is it?" ho nsked then, and after a moment, "An' do you think you'll be able to hang on whin she gets to r-rolUn'?"
Steve's eyes were like bits of polish¬ ed steel, so bright they were. It was a stauggle for him to take them even for a moment from the engine beforo him.
"I cal'late I kin," he quavered.
"Well, thin, we'U see." McLean look- ed up and winked at the engineer in the diminutive cab. "It's car-reful you'll be, Mistber Engineer," he cau tioned, "an' watch your steerln' on the cur-rves!"
He leaned over to lift the boy to tho nmnlng board, but Steve, witb one foot upraised, hung back. Ha faced to¬ ward Caleb and without a. glance in tbe girl's direction said:
"Mebby she—mcbby she'd Uke to go tooT'
Barbara Allison, chin Ufted a Uttle higher, half wheeled and slipped ber band within that of her father.
"Uiank you, bnt I don't care to," she refused.
Steve caught the little toss of her head from the corner of his eye, and his face went pink. Without another word be clambered up beside the driv¬ er, and the engine rolled out of the yaird rnd went clankbig down the un¬ even, crooked track, leaving a dis¬ solving trail of steam behiud, Wheu It returned the little face at the cab 'window was tense and somewhat pale beneath its tan. but tbe haad upon thu
throttle beside the engineer's lay steady as a Uttle pine knot.
"WeU, an' what do yon think av her?" McLean demanded with an as snmptlon of anxiety as the boy drop¬ ped to the ground.
Steve turned and patted tbe foot- beard with a proprietary hand. As grave of mien as bis questioner he bobbed his bead.
"She—she ceftainly kin git up and step," he volunteered. And then, eock ing his head Judiciously, "I'll bev to be a-glttin' me oae of tbem fer my¬ self some day!"
McLean cbuckled-he chuckled ta deep delight within his white whiskers -and led the way td tb0 mills. But once there the amusement in bla eyes rapidly deepened to amazement, for tbere were few steps in the processes npon which tbe boy oould not talk us flnently and technically as did the mill boss himself. And he knew timber- knew It with the some infallibility which had even in McLean always 8eeme<l to border upon the uncanny.
It was Allissu blmself who first cnll ed attention to an unaawed log wlii< !i was lieliig dise.irded.
'That looks like tou good a atlck te lie wasted, doesn't it, Mcl.ean?" he nsked.
Before McLean could answer tbe boy spat gravely into a pile of sawdust. hU piphig voice rising above the. shrill scream of tho sawa

¦¦."^nes noiler," he stated succinctly "Dry rotten above the stubl"
And when Allison raised his brows interrognfively McLean dropprd one hnnd ufioii the boy's shoulder, a bit of pride In tlie itesture.
"Holler she Is." he agreed, and he added, "An' I'll be iiftUer knowln' where to lind a riverman nv tho oM sehool. I'lu tliinkiii', syme day whin the need arises,''

CHAPTER   IV. "I'll Tell  Her You're a  Baptist."
Siri-:\T-; wns most tnciturn at thp tnble the following mmTi liiir. His moody silence puz¬ zled even Sarah Hunter.   But
when the latter, whose Sunday sched¬ ule no storm could alter, came home from ehurch nnd found Caleb nnd the boy immersed In a muss of flies and leader.s and lines which had been skein¬ ed to dry her thorough disapproval loo.sed the boy's tongue. She stood In the doorway surveying with a frown their preoccupied industry.
"It seems to me, Cal," she comment¬ ed, "that even if you hnven't any re¬ gard for the Sabbath you might do bet¬ ter than lead those younger than your self Into doing things which might bet¬ ter be left for days which were meant for such things."
She swished upstairs before Coleb had a chance to answar. But after she had gone Steve looked up from a line lie was spooling.
"She ain't pnrticularly plensed. I take it," he remarked.
"Xot  particularly."   ("aleb  chmkled, "It's funny, too. because T do most of this sort  of work on  Sunday.    You'd think shed become resigned to it, but slio doesn't." The boy thought deeply for awhile. '•Didn't—didn't the 'postles cast their nets on Sundny?" lie asked presently. Up shot Caleb's head. "Huh-h-h';" he gasped. "I sed didn't the 'postles cast their nets   ou    Sunday?"    Steve    repeated. "Seems  to  me  they  did.  but  I  ean't just   rec'llct   now   what   chapter   It wa.-^ In."
Caleb pulle<l his face Into a sem¬ blance of sobriety.
"Seems to me they did," he agreed u ilttie weakly, "now that you mention it I don't Just recollect where it oc¬ curred, either, at the moment, but we'll have to look it up, because as a case of precedent it'll be a clincher for Sarah."
' Alllaon joined them Monday morning at daybreak. .\ll day they drove through the seeping rain—drove north In Caleb's buckboard, to turn off final¬ ly upon a woods trail that ran Into the east along the lesser branch of the river. IMiring the ride Steve's bearing toward the third member of the party was too plain to escape notice, for he never lookeil at nor directed n word to Allisou unless it was In reply to a di¬ rect question, and then his answers were aimost niono.syii.ibli'. But AlU¬ aon, who, as usual, f:n>e llis undivided attention to the country tlirough which they wero jiassin'.; in :ittltiii;.' toward the boy was even nioi-e renin-Uable.
Once when they had Imlted at noon be pointed out a lii.i-i e .f pine, black l)eneath tho rnin. dose clustered and of mastlike straightness,
"There's a wonderful stnnd of pine, Cal," he remarked. Td venture ta say that It woi.ld cut at least U.OOCOOd feet"
Instantly, although the remark was addressed to him, Caleb knew tbat It was Stephen's comment for which Alli¬ son was angling, and hard upon hi« casual statement tbe boy's bead came sliarply around.
"She'll   run   nigh   double   thnt."   he swallowed the bait.   "She'll run double and mebby a trifle more." Nor did Allison even smile now. "What   makes   you   think   so?"   he asked.
Again there came the boy's pat an¬ swer
"I nin't thlnkin'," he said. "It's Jest there. They're close set, tlieni trees, nnd they're clear, clean to the tops. There nin't a stump there that won't run near ten standard."
Alll.soii  squinted and  llnaily  nodded Ills liend. "Maybe," he au'reed; 'ninybe." But later Cnleb snw him enter soiim ligures in his .snmll. blnck bound note¬ book.
