Estil knew that Audra had done a great deal for
A Gift From the Road
marked by the constant tap, tap of the player's right foot. Gay and debauche he had appeared to humorous and strongly accented rhythm, or with humorous and strongly accented djythm, or with the even graceful swing of a waltz. There had been dancing of all types, the courtly, refined dance of the grandparents, the more jerk step of the middle aged, and the feline grace of the youngest. But all these friends in the Blue Grass. But all had been guided by the fascinating fingers of Old Ben as he strummed the music.
Yet Ettil had another thought. Guitars can throw a glamour over the most promiscuous occasion. To sit on the ground at the feet of a girl and whisper words of love and devotion to the time of a tamer, to bring her to life, you must be willing to hope for much she cannot tell, this was the art for which the boy longed and dreamed. Not that it made any difference about the girl. In fact, he couldn't decide on which one to try it if it. But to be able to. And, of course, he couldn't be a girl in the county he could not have if he only had a guitar.
But the mage had finished drinking and his mount had whirled in the water and was up the bank in a rush that the boy's dreams should have been left to them. "I thought I could be the symbol of his future. From every hope and wish he must be torn by the sudden force of impending work and circumstance—and all because of poverty. He knew that other people earned money, but how, in all his fourteen years, he had
As his horse passed through the barn door the boy allowed the door-jam to brush him off backward. He lt.explorer on his feet, almost stepping on a white goose that fluttered and jumped under the door. He laughed the door; and walked amidly in the direction of the house. He was not even thinking. But why think? It didn't really matter. Every day was just like the end before it, and days to infinity would be just the end.
As he stepped up on the back pouch he spit roundly at a one-inch knot hole in the porch door. For years he had been doing this and never had he interested. But now there was a squatter of tobacco
The house door came open with a jerk. "Eat! Eat! Eat! don't you know I can't scratch my sobriety three days a week for you to spit tobacco juice on it? And does it take all morning' to water the mugs? Your breakfast has been chillin' come an hour."
It was Audra who spoke. She was Eatsl's older sister, seventeen years old her last birthday.
"Thought it was on the edge of the parchue and Clay set to court, so. I amn't missed that hole since
"Don't be bringing Clay in. Puppy'll be here an minute with the Little's wagon and he wants ye
Eat sat down to his breakfast of fried salt pork, gravy, and corn cakes. He couldn't see any hurry, or any sense in scrubbing porches, or in lots of things about Audra. She was different from the other women. Everybody said she was like their mother.
Margaret Eskridge, the mother of the two, had come to the county from the Blue Grass—a school teacher in the little log building at the top of Beamings Hill. Henry Eskridge had been her oldest pupil and his devotion to her had been evident from the first—making fires, carrying water, and going into the house. Everyone had marvelled when the dainty girl had wed the hill man and settled down to the common life of poverty and deprivation of a mountain wife. But in spite of the devastating work and the meander means, she had retained the aristocratic bearing, the cheery smile, and the philosophical exhilaration in living there. She was a wonderful happy home had been the envy of all the women in the valley and was popular, not because of the things it possessed, but because of the ingenuity with which they were used. The hope of Margaret's heart was to have a barrier without a bed in it; but with only three rooms this had been impossible. But she had long desired a country home, the country knew she would be a most demanding wife. A good one she would be, too. What with keeping house for Henry since the death of Margaret, six years before, and raising Etail from an eight-year-old, she'd had uncommon training for a wife. Many young men were aware of this fact and would help her make it happen. She take a turn after Clay Poynton. But Audra was constant in her affections and Clay was thought by the entire countryside to be the man who would be blessed with Audra's charms.
om, but he also knew that she was disappointed in him. She wanted him to be different from the mountain boys, but he smoked, and exore, and steaked, and he did it even stalk, even though she had one thought he had.
"Still, don't you know it'll be your bed back to wear two nailheads bags. Where did you get
He could never quite forget the time she had found his three dimes. She had found them in a little improvised bag, that he tied on the string of his asafulda bag, one evening when the collar of his shirt came open. He was ten then and she was thirteen.
But Andrea had taken the scissors from their tail beside the range and had cut the dirty little bag off the string. "Way, Eatl, They aren't mindfully in here," she said. "And they had leaped into her eyes. 'Earth, it's money!'"
"Ab, Jennie Friebike was throwin' it away. She said it hurt her neck."
"I knew you think I orter give it up, sie, and I want it so, it. I'm savin' it," it even at the age of ten his dream of the guitar was in its embryo. He mooted to hide it.
"Yes, but how come you by it?" "Taint every day ye pick up a dime." In the village some folk paid money for what get at the store. But most of them, however, used a knife to hand off the money of tobacco to their pay for their salt, or thread. few indeed, the things they traded for. What was not raised at home could be got along without. Andra adorned use a coin, though she had a jar in her purse. She went to town and sold to six dollars and thirty-three cents. This was what was left to Margaret from her teaching at the time of her death. And it was Audra's to use when she was going to marry. As she saw Ettle's milk, she had to keep auspension from her voice, but Ettrill knew.
"Naw, sis. I hain't been thiviñ, I yurped that silver. Caint' you call up the nuts I picked for teacher? She give me that quarter I handed Puppy and these three dimes, besides. I thought he wouldn't know, and I was aimin' to keep my money in..."—here the boy had stoped. Audra said she might hide, but she meant mummy did, that they were "the work of the child himself."
"And what? For why didn't you give Pappy the silver?"
1. , I . l . awin't to get a guitar." There was explosion and sudden silence as he spoke the last word. Eatil had said everything and Audira seemed to have nothing to say.
And since then Estil had saved. Audra had helped him keep back a few of his coins from his father and had even given him two from her tiny store. A total of three dollars and seventeen cents were in his pocket, which he used to buy the store and was using as a bank. Cutting and hauling railroad ties from the mountain sides to the railroad bench eight miles away had furnished him with new shoes, and the could be for them and twelve represented a good four day's work, including the hauling. A few of the loads of coal that he had hacked out from its bed in the hillside had been paid for in money, but when they were, it was for his father. They were
Together they had turned the flimsy pages, yellowed at the edges and a lifeliness gray where light had not had access to them. There were guitars, large and small. Some were prized at six dollars, some as high as twenty. But one had a red silk cord that went around the neck of the player. There was a glossy红盐塔 at each end, lending the ensemble its brightness. The cord they must have made a mistake, for surely the highest price should be on the one with the brilliant cord.
For a moment she was lost in thought. "I see. Fetch the catalogue. What's the price on a guitar?" And the boy had gone to the table in the parlor and brought the dusty three-year-old catalogue from its place with Bible, Shakespeare, and Milton—the three great classics. Jacqueline in his immigration across the sea.
the exterior of the man as he approached his son would be frightened a new person—its feet of dark skin and long hair.
By the time Mr. Eskridge had got back with Little's wedge, Estil was sitting on the porch. His gaze was fixed on a point far in the east and the tone of his voice was quiet. He tone for average human ears, for he did not stir when his father called, "Estil, stop that dream!" and hit the ramps to the old wedge bed. I'm gone now.
Small wonder that life was monotony to him. The other boys didn't think so. They didn't want anything except just what they had been getting, and living as they did was very restful.
manner. But those who knew said he was the best poor man in he valley, caring for those children all these nine years instead of taking him a wife as every other widow-man did after six months.
"Aim! to sit on the porch all day?" No response,
"What, it wants you do? boy!" The father's tone
It's a guitar, pappy. I see somewhat' white and
it's coming' this way."
"You'll tell me' the angels play guitars when they come to fetch your soul" the man replied. But he turned to look down the graded read, "It's nothing but a horn of geese beir'd drive to market. And the man behind has nothing to do but strum a gull song and scared seated himself inside the box and they watched.
To Exalt the g霉 were glorified by the tune that accompanied their slow advance. Each white few that detached itself from the fly to fly a few reeds would eventually strike up the mass moved forward with unbroken g霉 like a waterfall, seeming always to be in motion and to remain the same. The hinking of the g霉 became audible as the fly slowly moves, but served no purpose other than the tune of the guitar instead of drowning it out.
When they came to the ford where the graded road crossed Adam's Branch, things took on a new interest. The geese were not loathe to paddle in, but it was a different matter to induce them to contemplate it or as if they were the streams they crossed, no spirit of adventure urged them on to find the next.
"Why son, go lend yourself. He's having' trouble crossin' him. There's her one man an' he on horseback with all them geese—open to a thousand, too."
No second bidding was required. The dream in Earl had risen to action and he hurried, unlike a mountain boy, in the direction of the stream. His overall legs were rolled above his knees by the time he reached the water and he had picked up a long heavy stick as he went
"Howdy!" he said casually through his beaming round face.
"Howdy," muttered the man on the horse. "You go down stream, I'll go up."
The offer for help was underestimated and accepted without any word on the subject. And most of the guese were down stream. No true sense of the bids was apparent, but it seemed to relieve him of it. So Eaill waited down the stream—striking the water with his staff in the direction of the birds, joining his "hool-hool-hool" with that of the driver and expertly imitating the options of the guesse driver he had ordered.
Finally they were on the move again.
"See you play?" the Bush said. "I will make you."
The bus driver ran off. I war yo-yoed

"See you're alone with the gees." Eatl said, then paused a moment. "Reckon ye can use a boy to walk along?" And show me the guitar of eventu's?" Robben I could. No he lacks angust.
I come up with ye with I’ve naked my puppy”
Eatil was half way back to the house when he had
a snack.
"He says I can help him on to market and learn the guitar, Caitlin I go, many?"
Audra had heard him and come out on the porch. But the boy was so excited that he hurried on into the house to get an extra bandana. When he came back out Audra caught him by the shoulder. "Pappy says you can give it to me," she said. In the Blue Grass for a guitar, Game 'dr' in while I in the Green牧草
Meager preparations for the trip were completed by the time the herd was passing the cabin. Estil drove his own three geese to join the noisy flock and his father and sister stood on the porch watching the boy's proud back as his bare feet padded down the graded road behind the white meat that was running through the barn in a waterfall, his lithe body swaying in unceasing rhythm with the strumming of the guitar.

Maragle came back, her arms full of yellow roses,
'Aunt Inn was not to pick the white roses, but, see,

Caroline put her on the seat beside her father,
"Tell Fern I'll be over in a few days to help her sell

She watched them drive away. Then she went to the garden to work there and to plan things to do for her.
