"We wouldn't be diggin' out for no swamp to haul logs." "You're mighty right, Trimmins! You're mighty right!" agreed the drunken Narnay. "Gotter leave m' fambly hate ter do it!" and he became very lachrymose. "Ter'ble thing, Trimmins, f'r a man ter be sep'rated from his fambly jest so's ter airn his livin'." "Right ye air, old feller," agreed the Southerner.

The baby was brought out a pitifully thin, but pretty child and Sophie nursed her little sister with much enjoyment. "I wisht she was twins," confessed the little girl. "It must be awful jolly to have twins in the family." "My soul, child!" groaned Mrs. Narnay. "Don't talk so reckless. One baby at a time is affliction enough as ye'll find out for yourself some day."

"They are a whole lot better than 'shanks' mare, Elder," said the young girl, laughing. "I should say! And handy, too, when the teams are all busy. Now I had to walk clean over the mountain to-day to that piece where Trimmins and them men are working. Warn't a hoss fit to use." "Has Mr. Trimmins a big gang at work?" The elder chuckled. "He calls it a gang him, and Jim Narnay, and a boy.

But not one penny do you nor they handle till the job is finished." "That's all right, Elder," drawled the Georgian. "That's 'cordin' to contrac', I know. I don't keer for myself. But Narnay and that other feller are mighty hongree for a li'le change." "Powerful thirsty, ye mean!" snorted the elder. "Wa-al mebbe so! mebbe so!" agreed Trimmins, with a weak grin.

I I know you will remain and be be helpful to her, Mr. Narnay?" "Yes, I will, Miss," said Narnay. His bleared eyes gazed first on the young girl and then on Haley. "I beg your pardon, Miss," he added. "What is it, Mr. Narnay?" asked Janice. "Mebbe I'd better tell it ter schoolmaster," said the man, his lips working. He drew the back of his hand across them to hide their quivering.

Narnay might be a companion of the real criminal; but more likely, Janice believed, he was merely an accessory after the fact. This, of course, if the gold piece should prove to be one of those belonging to the collection which Mr. Haley was accused of stealing.

"I would dearly love to clean her up and put something decent to wear upon her, and " She did not finish her wish because of an unexpected happening. The little girl came so blithely across the street only to run directly into the wavering figure of the intoxicated Jim Narnay. She screamed as Narnay seized her by one thin arm.

"Why, Nelson," Janice said sweetly, "I know that you have only to think carefully on any subject to come to the right conclusion. But poor Walky isn't 'long' on thought, if he is on 'talk," and she laughed a little. It was after Sunday School the following afternoon that Janice went again to Pine Cove to see the Narnay baby. She had conversed with busy Dr.

"Nelson!" she said softly, "don't even think about drinking anything intoxicating. I should be afraid for you. I should worry about the hold it might get upon you " "As it has on Jim Narnay?" interrupted the young man, laughing. "No," said Janice, still gravely. "You would never be like him, I am sure " "Nor will drink ever affect me in any way no fear! I know what I am about.

It was not a particularly old or a very rare coin, however. There might be others of the same date and issue in circulation. So, after all, the fact that Narnay had it proved nothing unless she could discover how he came by it who had given it to him. In the afternoon Janice drove home by the Upper Road and ran her car into Elder Concannon's yard.
