SYNOPSIS
Following: his father’s criticism of his
Idle life, and withdrawal of financial
assistance, Hal Ireland, son of a
wealthy banker, is practically without
funds but with the promise of a situ¬
ation In San Francisco, which he must
reach, from New York. He takes pass¬
age with a cross-country auto party
on a "share expense” basis. Other
members of the party include an at¬
tractive girl. Barry Trafford: middle
aged Giles Kerrigan; Sister Anastasia,
• nun; and an individual whom he in¬
stinctively dislikes, Martin Crack. Bar¬
ry’s reticence annoys him. To Kerrigan
he takes at once, but he distrusts
Crack. He finds his intimacy with Ker¬
rigan ripening, and makes a little
progress with Barry. Through a mis¬
understanding, at a stopping place, Hal
is directed to Barry's room, instead of
his own, and they exchange kisses.
Next day he tells her he loves her. She
answers that she mustn’t love him,
without giving any reason. Crack bru¬
tally insults Kerrigan. Hal forces him
to apologize abjectly, and his feeling
of disgust toward Crack is intensified.
On his insistence, Barry tells Hal that,
at her father’s urging, she had mar¬
ried a man many years older than she,
and had promised her father, on his
deathbed, to stick to her husband, "no
matter what happened," for ten years.
That was four years ago, and despite
her knowledge of her husband’s un¬
worthiness, she is determined to keep
her promise, though admitting her love
for Hal.

‘Come on,” she said. Let’s stretch
our legs. Let’s see Wyoming.”
“Lady, have you ever had a good
look at my legs?” Kerrigan asked, ns
a question of grave scholarship. “No,
of course not; I beg pardon. The point
Is they’re past stretching.' Take my
young friend Ireland with you, but let
me have him back In good condition.
And mind your pup: coyotes’ll lead a
dog till he’s tlfed and then turn on
him.”
"I wish you’d come,” said Barry.
“I wish I would,” said Kerrigan,
“but I won’t I’ll sit here tiiinking of
old, old brandy, and I’ll he younger
when you come back. Be off. line If Jfou by.
run into Hostyies. send me a
one of ’em and I’ll he at your sldff-in
a twinkling—say, an hour and a half.”
At the top of a little ridge to the
westward, from which they could look
down the road where Rasputin waited,
and see across to the mountain range
behind which the sun would set, they
slowed their pace and stopped.
“That’s not a long walk," said Barry.
“Long enough,” said. Hal. “Rattle¬
snakes.”
“Oh gosh! not really?” said Barry,
moving to him.
He watched her without stirring his
arms, smiling a little at her and to
himself. “No,” lie said. “I Just wanted
you to come where I could touch you
and then show you I wouldn’t. I’m
proud of keeping my promise; you
must ask me why I’m so strong.”
There was a memory of solemn
alarm under her smile. “Why are you?"
she said dutifully. She sat down facing
the west, her legs doubled and one
firm shoulder hunched where she
leaned against her arm.
“Because,” he said, stretching him¬
self before her, “because you've drawn
your loveliness up Into a kind of roy¬
alty that makes you more beautiful
than I thought even you could be.
Because you have a pride and purity
in your eyes that goes as far above
the world as that peace that makes
Sister Anastasia beautiful. And yet
your bravery Is warm and living; you
don’t turn your back on life; and
you can’t turn your hack on the most
Implacable thing I’ve known in life—
my fantastic desires for you, for the
beauty behind your eyes, for the
beauty—"
She turned from her londfy looking
into the west, glanced from his mouth
to his eyes with that awed,' Still con¬
sternation, and said, “Hai, that’s not—
darling, we’ll have to go back.”
“And because,” Hal went on, “to¬
morrow nothing you can put against
me can stop me—nothing. There, I’ve
finished. And you can watch the
strength and Implacability coming into
me with every minute of my promise.”
“Hal,” she said hopelessly, stripping
her hat from the golden luxuriance
that ran simply back from the round
of her forehead. She faced the west
again and watched it, trying its far¬
thest distance with the sorrow of her
eyes. Then she turned to him and said
artlessly, “What about your socks?”
“Socks?” said Ha), his look laughing
as he glanced at them. “What about
them?”
“I’ve got things to wash out—to¬
night. or whenever we get anywhere,"
she said. “If you’ve got any things,
I can do them, too.”
“You’re certainly not going to wash
my socks,” said Hal.
She seemed to straighten a little In
defense as she said, “And why not?”
“Why, d—n it all, because—”
“If you were ill,” Barry interrupted,
•would you let anybody else take care

enough to do It for yourself;
for the love of Mike why shouldn’t
do washing for you If you’ve got

something? Wouldn’t you shine my

“Of course.”
“Well, then. Perhaps you didn’t
you wear woolen socks, and
socks shrink if they're not care¬
done.”
“I didn’t know that,” said Hal. “Tell
more.”
“I'd tell you lots more,” said Barry,'
you’d try to see my meaning, and
it.”
“Barry, d’you think I forget anything
say—anything, even the first word
said to me, years ago, when you
to make me mad?”
“Well, what did I say to you first?”
Barry, challenge cheering her
“You said—We were standing In that
wherever it was—you know—
place, and you said—No, signals
We were in the ear and you said
wasn’t my cigarette that burned

Barry chuckled at him, slowly and
with her head a little back
her firm, white throat full. “Close,
Ireland, close. I'm glad you re¬
I used to watch you being
mad by me and love it. And
she said, her voice touching
edge of sorrow, then evading it in
little sigh: “now I’m asking you to
me wash your socks.”
The sun set in bold, steady red, a
ledge of cloud fastened across
and the whole dry spread of the
tawny, tufted sweep of plain
the rust and gray and emery
of strata under the fiat ter¬
of rock, the high, heavy moun¬
peaks piled beyond—all came by
soft, purple clarity, as if they stood
tinted water. Hal and Barry had
to watch the silent glory of the

She took a faltering breath and let
go reluctantly; and Hal, Ids mouth

from him and returned to the

He pressed her band before he let
go, watching her. “I s'pose while we

With a limber bending of her body,
picked up her hat, and It swung

down.
It wasn’t cool, but Kerrigan was ar¬
brush and a few desiccated
posts for a fire when they came

“HI there,” he said comfortably, as
they had kept house together for
long time. “Got the sun put away

“Haven’t seen any to attract," said
“But you know your publicity
here better than I do.”
There was a pleasant murmur of
as Barry got Into the ear
the others still waited. Hal, with
strange, assured feeling of peace
him, looked up at the first clear
stars and breathed his chest
full.
“Lord, it’s good," he said to Kerri¬
“You should’ve told me I’d like
With the star-scattered night com¬
and the fire going, they made a
supper from Mrs. Pulsipher’s or¬
the popcorn which she ordered
to uncache, and some agglom¬
fruit-drops from a bag in Ker¬
pocket. The atmosphere was
quiet, the voices not quite
but variously respectful, as
some one were asleep nearby. And
time John, after a silence, won¬
where that Mr. Crack was, Hal
the peace upon his blood freshly
peace assured of strength, of Bar¬
nearness, and of his final coming
her—after the term of his promise.
Those In the ear got out to stretch
and stroll briefly and look up Into tbS
night; and past ten, when John gave
a yawn that echoed In the shameless
cavern of his mouth, Mrs. Pulsipher
suggested sleep. She and Sister Anas¬
tasia disposed themselves in the back
seat, while John cramped his gaunt
lankiness in the front and Barry, Hal,
and Kerrigan sat along the running
board, watching the fire and talking.
“Listen,” said Barry suddenly, Inter¬
rupting her own speech. Doe raised his
head for a grunt, sniffing. “There comes
somebody.”
They listened. A coyote—the pale,
pretty ghost of a guilty dog—passed
on the edge of the gloom beyond the
fire, and Barry's hand came to rest on
Hal's knee.
“It Is somebody,” Kerrigan muttered
in a moment, looking at his watch.
"He's been long enough. It’s eleven.”
Impulsively Hal said, “It’s not
Crack,” and wondered why he was so
coolly sure.
Barry looked around at him slowly,
solemnly. “How d’you know?” she
said.
Hal moved a .little inside his clothes.
“Doesn’t feel like him,” he said. He
gave a short, uneasy laugh of depre¬
cation.
The footfalls—made by heavy, stiff
soled shoes—brought their slovenly
beat nearer and stopped. Hal got lip
and walked around the car. A broad
glow, as from a white and distant tire,
was spread in the east where the moon
would come, but lie could see no one
down the road. “Evening,” lie called
into the dark.
“Evenin', evenin’,” came a cracked
voice after an interval. “You the folks
got the fire? I seen it from a way
back and come to see what was goin’
on.”
He clumped up to the fire—a tall,
ratty man, no hat on his tangled hair,
shirt dirtily open at his throat, blue
jeans cut off about three inches above
(he tops of his veteran cow-hoots. His
grinning lips were stained at the cor¬
ners and his bright, empty eyes
watched the tire, not any of the three
who were near it.
“You folks stranded, ’ey?" he said
cheerily in a minute.
“Looks it,” said Kerrigan.
“I run Into some folks last year was
Stranded,” lie said. “Over t’other side.
Seems like I’m always runnin’ into
folks that's stranded.” He grinned
happily at the fire.
“Didn’t see a fella go out to the
highway and get a lift Into town, did
you?” Hal said. “Late tiffs afternoon?"
“To what town?” the man said ab¬
sently,
“Any town,” said Hal.
“No,” said the man. “Last week I
seen a feller get a lift out on the
road. Goin’ west, he was. But I mind
these other folks was stranded there—
over t’other side. 1 come on one of
’em drinkin’ water out of a little crick
we got. I says to him, ‘How’s It taste?’
an’ lie says ‘Good',’ an’ I says, ‘That’s
good, I'm glad' t’knciw an’ he says,
‘Why?’ an’ I told him why.” He
laughed silently without looking at any
of them.
“Why?", said Barry In calm interest.
“’Cause I found one o’ my sheep
lyin’ drownded father up the crick
where-he was drinkin’, an’ I wanted
t’know how it tasted.”
“Did you tell him that?” said Ker
rigan.
• “I told him,” said the man. “He
didn't like It.”
“You’re a sheepherder,” snjd Kerri¬
gan.
“I am,” said the man, with a quick
nnd of pride. “Only I ain’t jus’ now.
I been fired.” He nodded again, his
stained mouth open. “I live over t’other
side there in the shed by ttie Old South
Corral. An’ when I feel like It some
day, I’ll tear It down.”
“Why’ll you tear it down?” said Ker¬
rigan.
“It’ll make ’em sore,” said the man.
“You can have anything yon want up
there. If you want to tear the shack
down, I’ll help you."
“That’s mighty nice of you,” said
Kerrigan, “but I guess we’ll just sit
here for a while.” '■
Ttie man watched the fire a
longer. Then he turned and grinned at
Kerrigan and said, “Well, I guess I’d
oughta get back. Moon’s cornin’ up.”
“Well, good night to. you,” said Ker¬
rigan.
“Good night,” said the man, and
abruptly started clumping away again.
The late moon floated up clear and
brilliant to pale the stars with Its gray
blue dusk, and they moved from the
running hoard, nearer the fire, to watch
that bright drifting.
“You’re at liberty,” Kerrigan said
to Barry, “to lean against my friend
Ireland and have a nap,”
She gave her soft laugh and relaxed
against Hal, as if she’d been waiting
for Kerrigan’s permission. Her hair
touched his cheek as she settled her
head to his shoulder; she looked up at
him in sleepy comfort, saying: “Too
heavy?” then pressed closer to him
closed her eyes. And In the nat¬
uralness of that, Hal was near believ¬
ing he had dreamt the obstacles to
united fortune: her trapped al¬
legiance to that man, tiiat husband,
too grotesque a sacrilege:
The slow moon marked the moving
the nigtit across the sky; and Hal
Kerrigan sat together in it, by
sleeping—kept silences that

of the fire, or murmured of
not so much satisfying In them¬
as in the fact that they spoke
them here.
Every so often Hal looked down at
face—her dark lashes laid in
little radiant fringe on each smooth
her vital lips at rest together,
breathing gentle and oblivious of
And once when- Kerrigan hap¬
to glance at him as he looked

SLAVE BADGES AN
EXPENSE IN 1834,
OLD LAWS REVEAL
A Study of Charleston’s tax laws
shows'that although Charlestonians
in 1884 did not have to buy auto
.tags nor pay a gasoline lax, oilier
means were employed by the tax
gatherers to get their money. One
of' these was the sale of slave
badges.
Badges or licenses for slaves had
to be purchased from the city treas¬
urer in January for the ensuing
year and the penalty for hiring, out
slaves without badges was $20.
The rates for slave badges were
published in “A Digest of the Ordi¬
nances of the City Council of
Charleston from the Year 1788 to
October, 1S44, to which are Annexed
the Acts of tiie Legislature which
Relate Exclusively to the City of
Charleston,” prepared under resolu¬
tion of city council by George Ii.
Eckard. Some of the rates were as
follows:
Handicraft tradesmen, $7; carter,
tra.vman, porter or day laborer, $4;
fishermen, $4; fisherwomen, $2;
house servants or washerwomen,
$2; seller of fruits, cake or “any
article not prohibited,” $5.
Slaves who wore badges which did
not belong to them or which did not
specify Hie particular nature of their
employment were to be committed
to I lie workhouse and subject to
such corporal punishment as the
mayor directed unless the owner
paid $2 lino.—New York Times.
