vously apprehensive of plunging her
feet Into a pool of water. It haI not
been the pitcher after all. Even after
the window was closed there seemed
to be much air in the room. The
b'lind still Happed, though at longer in
tervals. If it really turned cold, how
were they to live in that barn-like,
room, she and Mary? She thought of
the c::mp'-rs out on the Hat and shiv
ered. H!" looked out of the window
musingly a moment. It was dark. H.'ie

Of con he was homo. It mu.-:t be
nearly Morning. Her feet were get

scious. Mary v.a- shaking l.cr excit
edly. "What is it?" she asked, .sleepily.
"Louise! There's a fire somewhere!
Listen !"
Some one rushed quickly through
the hall; others followed, knocking
against the walls in the darkness.
Then the awful, heart-clutching clang
of a bell rang out near, Insistent, me
tallic. It was the meeting-house bell.
There was no other In the town. The
girls sprang to the floor. The thought
had fo-ind swift lodgment in the mind
of each that the hotel was on fire, and
In that moment Louise thought of the
poisoned meat that had once been
served to jemo archenemies of the
gang whose chief was nor on trial for
bis liberty. So quickly docs the brain
work under stress of great crises, that,
even before she hid her shoes and
stocking on, she found herself wonder
ing who was the marked victim this
time. Not Williston he was dead.
Not Gordon he slept in his own room
back cf the office. Xot Langford ho
was bunking with his friend in that
same room. Jim Munson? Or was the
judge the proscribed one? He was not
a corrupt judge. He could not be
bought. It might be he. Mary had
gone to the window.
"Louise!" she gasped. "The court
bouse!" True. The cloudy sky was reddened
above the poor little temple of justice
where for day and weeks the tide of
human interest of a big part of a big
state ay, a big part of all the north
west country, maybe had been stead
ily setting in and had reached its cul
mination only yesterday, when a

concealed the limitations cf her at
tire. "Whet are you going to do?" asked
Mary, also putting on clothes which
were easy of adjustment. She had
never gone to fires in the old days
before she had come to South Dakota;
but if Louise went gentle, highbred
Louise why, she would go too, that
was all there was about it. She had
constituted herself Louise's guardian
in this rough life that must be so alien
to the eastern girl. Louise had been
very good to her. Louise's startled
cry about her note bocks carried little
understanding to her. Sue was net
used to court and its ways.
They hastened cut into the hallway
and down the stairs. They saw r.c
one whom they knew, though men
were still dodging out from unexpect
ed places and hurrying down the
street. It seemed impossible that the
inconveniently built, diminutive prair
ie hotel could accommodate so many
people. Louise found herself wonder
ing where they had been packed away.
The men, carelessly dressed a3 they

He would want to save some valuable
oks he had been reading in his of
ficial Quarters. So they went cut into

the bTea'k and windy niglit. They
were immediately enveloped in a wild
gust that nearly swept them off their
feet as it came tearing down the
street. They clung together for a
moment.
"It'll burn like hell in this wind!"
some one cried, as a bunch of n-on
hurried past tker.i. Tlie -ere
i!'.ri:Iiy vhippeu out cr nis mouth.
"Won't save a thing."
Flames were bursting out of the
front windows upstairs. The sky was
ill alight. Sparks were tossed madly
southward by the wind. There was
Trave danger for buildings other than
the one already doomed. The roar of
Ihe wind and the flames was well
nigh deafening. The back windows
iiid stairs seemed clear.
"J lurry, Mary, hurry!" cried Louise,
above the roar, and pressed forward,
stumbling and gasping for the breath
that the wild wind coveted.. It was
not far they had to go. There was a
jam of men in the yard. More were
coming up. But there was nothing
to do. Men shook their heads and
shrugged their shoulders and watched
the progress of the Inevitable with the
placidity engendered of the potent:
"It can't be helped." Hut some things
might have been saved that were not
saved had the first on the grounds not
rested so securely on that quieting
inevitability. As the girls came with
in the crowded circle of light, they
overheard something of a gallant at
tempt on the part of somebody to
save the county records they did not
hear whether cr no the attempt had
been successful. They made their
way to the rear. It was till dark.
'Louise! hat are you going to
do?" cried Mary, in consternation.
There were few people on this side.
Louise rv.t her hand deliberately to
the door-knob. It gavo to hc-r pres
sure the doer swung open. Soma
one stumbltd out blindly and leaned
against the wall for a moment, his
hands over his eyes.
"I can't do "it," ho said, aloud, "I
can't reach the vaults.
Louise slipped past him and was
within the doorway, closely followed
by the frantic Mary.
The man cried out sharply, and
retched out a detaining hand. 'Are
.iii crazy? Come back!"
"Mr. Gordon!" cried Louise, with a
tie sob cf relief, "is it really you?
t me go quick my note books!"
V thick cloud of smoke at that, rao-
nt cr.me rolling down the back
irs. It enveloped them. It went
va their threats and male them
igh. The man. throwing an arm
r the shoulders cf the slender girl
o had started up after the first
ick of the smoke had passed away,
bed "her gently but firmly outside.
Don't let her come, Mary," l.c
led back, clearly. "I'll get the
;e books if I can." Then he was
ie up the smoke-wreathed stair
y. UutoIJe, the girls waited. it
seemed hours. The wind, howling
around the corners, whipped their
skirts. There was a colder edge to it.
Fire at last broke out of the back
windows simultaneously with the
sound of breaking glass, and huge
billows of released black smoke
surged out from the new outlet.
Louise started forward. She never
knew afterward just what she meant
to do, but she sprang away from
Mary's encircling arm and ran up the
little flight of steps leading to the
door from which she had been so un
ceremoniously thrust. Afterward,
when they told her, she realized what
her impulsive action meant, but now
she did not think. She was only con
scious of some wild, vague impulse to
fly to the help of the man who would
even now be safe in blessed outdoors
had it not been for her and her fool
ish woman's whim. She had sent him
to his death. What were those
wretched note books what was any
thing at all in comparison to his life!
So she stumbled blindly up the steps.
The wind had slammed the door shut.
It was a cruel obstacle to keep her
back. She wrenched it open. The
clouds of smoke that met her, rolling
out of their Imprisonment like pent
up steam, choked her, blinded her,
beat her back. She strove impotently
against it. She- tried to fight it off
with her hands these little intensely
feminine hands whose fortune Gordon
longed to take upon himself forever
and forever. They were so small and
weak to fend for themselves. But
small as they were, it was a good
thing they did that night. Nov.
Mary had firm hold of her and wor.ld
not let 1-er go. She struggled desper
ately r.nd tried to push her of?, but
vi-inly, for Mary had twice her
slrcn-th.
"Mary, I s!:nH never forgive you "
She did v.zii finish "her sentence, for
at th.'.t moment Gordon staggered out
inw the air. ITe cat clown on the bot
tom t:ep as it no were drunk, but little
darts of flame colored the surging
snicke here and there in weird
splotch and, suddenly calm now that
there was something to do, Mary and
Louise led him away from the doomed
building where the keen wind soon
hicw the choking smoke from his eyes
and throat.
"I've swallowed a ton," he said, re
covering himself quickly. "I couldn't
get them. Louise." He did not know
i he called her so.
I "Oh, what does
Louise, earnestly.
It matter?" cried
"Only forgive
for sending you."
"As I remember It, I sent myself,"
raid Gordon with a humorous smile,
"and. I am afraid, tumbled one V.iilc
girl ra'her vrcci vmonTously down the
stairs. Did I hurt you?" There was
a caressing cadence in the question
that he could not for the life of him
keep out of his voice.
"I did not even know I tumbled.
How did you get back?" said Louise,
tremulously.
"Who opened the door?" counter
questioned Gordon, remembering.
"The wind must have blown it shut.
I was blinded I couldn't find It I
couldn't breathe. I didn't have sense
enough to know it was shut, but I
couldn't have helped myself anyway.
I groped for it as long as I could with
out breathing. Then I guess I must
have gone off a little, for I was spraw
ling on the floor of the lower hall
when I felt a breath of air playing
over me. Somebody must have opened
th( door because I am pretty sure
I had fainted or done some for;iL;h
thing."
Louise was silent. She was thank
ful thankful. God had been very
good to her. It had been given to her
to do this thing. She had not meant
to do it ihe had not konwn what she
did; enough that was done.
"It was Louise," spoke up Mary,
"and I tried to hold her back!" So
! she accused herself.
"But I didn't do it on purpose," said i
Louise, with shining eye3. "I I "
"Yes, you- " prompted Gordon,
looking at her with tender intentness.
"I guess I was trying to come after
you," she confessed. "It was very
foolish."
The rear grounds were rapidly fill
ing up. Like children following a
band-wagon, the crowd surged toward
the new excitement of the discovered
extension of the fire. Gordon drew a
long breath.
"I thank God for your foolishness,"
he said, simply, smiling the smile his
friends loved him for.
CHAPTER XVIII.
An Unconventional Tea Party.
As the flames broke through the
roof, Langford came rushing up where
the group stood a little apart from the
press.
'r 'i '
l.e
"What's
the t.-oa !.-. -J. '.
asked Gordon, quietly.
"I have something to tell y :
Langford, in a low voic:.
quick let's go back to your
:-or.is.
Why, girls "
"We will go, too," said Mary, with
quiet decision. She had caught a
glimpse of Red Sanderson's t'ara
through the crowd, and she thought ho
had leered at her. She had been
haunted by the vague feeling that she
must have known the man who had
attempted to carry her off that dread
ful night; but she had never been able
to concentrate the abstract, fleeting
impressions into comprehensive sub
stance never until she had seen that
sear, and glancing away in terror saw
that Langiord, too, had seen; but sha
was net brave enough to lose herself
and Louise in the crowd where that
man was. She could not. He had
leered at Louise, too, last night at sup
per. They could not ask the protec
tion of Gordon and Langford back to
the hotel then, when Langford'a
handsome, tanned face was white with
the weight cf what he had totell.
"It will be best," he agreed, unex
pectedly. "Come we must hurry!"
It was Williston's "little girl" whom
he took under his personal protection,
diving up the street in the teeth of the
gale which blew colder every moment,
with a force and strength that kept
Mary half the time off her feet. A
gentler knight was Gordon though
as manly. All was lark around the
premises. There was no one lurking
near. Everybody was dancing at
tendance on the court-house holocaust.
Gordon felt for his keys.
"How good it is to get out of the
wind," whispered Louise. This pro
ceeding smacked so much of the mys
terious that whispering followed as a
natural sequence.
They stepped within. It was inky
black.
"Lock the door," said Langford. in
a low voice.
Gordon complied, surprised, but ask
ing no question. He knew his friend,
and had faith in his judgment. Then
he lighted a lamp that stood on his
desk.
, "Why did you do that?" asked
Louise, gravely.
"What?"
"Lcck the door."
"I don't know," he answered, hon
estly. "I didn't think you would no
tice the click. Ask Paul."
"I'll explain in a minute," said Lang
ford. He stepped to the windows auc
drew the blinds closely.
"Now that I have you safe," he said
lightly, "I'll confess 1 had an oh!
woman's scare. It came to me that
as long as you are not, strictly spen'.;
ing. cn kind and loving terms with
every one west of the river and th:"s
being such an all-round nasty nighi
anyway, why, I'd just spirit yon homs
end give the charged atmosphere c
chance of clearing a little."
Gordon looked at him steadily
moment. His fjco did not pale. Vc!
ne knew that Langford had hoard
or suspected more than he intonciec
to tell then. It was good to see hin
shrug his shoulders in unconcern loi
the sake of the two white faced girls
who sat there in his stiff ofiice chairs
"You are an old du.Ter. Paul," he
said, in pretended annoyance. "Yot
treat roe like a child. I won't stand
it always. You'll see. Some day IT
rebel and then "
"Meanwhile, I'll Juet trot these
ladies back to the hotel," said Lang
ford. "But you must promise to keey
your head inside. We're fixtures untl!
we have that promise."
"What, lock me up and run off witt
all the ladies! I guess not! Wh;
didn't vve round up that way, I'd like
to know? This isn't Utah. Paul. Yot
can't have both."
Paul meant for him to lie low, then
He was also in a hurry to get the girls
away. Evidently the danger lay here
There was a tightening of the firn:
mouth and an ominous contraction o!
the pupils of the eyes. He stirred the
fire, then jammed a huge, knotted
stick fnto the sheet-iron stove. It
seemed as if everybody had sheet-iror
stoves in this country. The log caught
with a pleasant roar as the draughl
sent flames leaping up the chimney
But Paul made no movement to go
Then he, Gordon, had net understood
his friend. Maybe the menace was
not here, but outside. If so, he must
contrive to keep his guests interested
here. He would leave the lead tc
raul. Paul knew. He went back tc
his living-room and returned, bringing
two heavy buggy robes.
"You will find my bachelor way el
living very primitive," he sail, with
his engaging smile. He arranged the
robes over two of the chairs and
pushed them close up to the stove
"I haven't an easy chair in the house
prove it by Paul, here. Haven't
time to rock, and can't afford to run
the risk of cultivating slothful habits.
Take these, do," he urged, "and re
move your coats."
"Thank you you are very kind."
said Louise. "Xo, I won't take off my
jacket," a spot of color staining her
cheek when she thought of her gay
kimono. Involuntarily, she felt cf her
throat to make sure the mufller had
not blown awry. "We shall be going
soon, shan't we, Mr. Langford? If
Mr. Gordon is in any danger, you must
stay with him and let us go alone. It
is not far."
"Surely," said Mary, with a big sink
ing cf the heart, but meaning what
she said.
"Not at all," said Gordon, decidedly.
"It's just his womanish, way of boss
ing me. I'll rebel some day. Just
wait! But before yen go, I'll make
tea. You must have gotten chilled
through.
He would keep them here a while
and then let them go with Langford.
The thought made him feel cheap and
cowardly and -::iea'.; .::'. ;v. her
would he ste' cut I.tv.j
.i talc- hi. J
;o h2 my
chances. 'Hut i; thc-re wan
shooting, it must be whero
Louise
and Mary, too was not. He believed
Paul, in his zeal, had exaggerated evil
omens, but there was Louise in his
bachelor room where he had never
thought to see her; there with her
cheeks flashed with the proximity to
the stove his stove her fair hair
winel-blown. No breath of evil thing
must assail her that night that nighty
when she had glorhiad his lonely habi-"
tation even though he himself must
slink into a corner like a cowardly
cur. A strange elation took possession
cf him. She was here. He thought cf
last night and seemed to walk on air.
If he won out maybe but, fool that
he was! what was there in this rough
land for a girl like Louise?
"Oh, no, that will be too much
trouble," gasped Louise, in some alarm
and thinking of Aunt Helen.
"Thanks, old man, we'll stay," spoke
up Langford, cheerfully. "He makes
excellent tea really. I've tried it be
fore. You will never regret staying."
Silently he watched his friend in the
inner room bring out a battered tea
kettle, fill it with a steady hand and
put it on the stove in the office, com
ing and going carelessly, seemingly
conscious of nothing in the world but
the comfort of his unexpected guests.
True to her sex, Louise was curious
ly interested in the housekeeping ar
rangements of a genuine bachelor es
tablishment. Woman-like, she saw
many things in the short time she was
there but nothing that diminished
her respect for Richard Gordon.
The bed in the inner chamber where
both men slept was disarranged but
clean. Wearing apparel was strewn
over the chairs and tables. There was
a litter of magazines on the floor. She
laid them up against Langford; she
did not think Gordon had the time or
inclination to cultivate the magazine
habit. She did not know to whose
weakness to ascribe the tobacco pouch
and brier-wood pipe placed invitingly
by the side of a pair of gay. elaborate
ly bead-embroidered moccasins, cozily
stowed away under the head of the
bed; but she was rather inclined to
lay these, too, to Langford's charge.
The howling tempest outside only
served to enhance the coziness of the
rumbling fire and the closely drawn
blinds.
But tea was never served in those
bachelor rooms that night neither
that night nor ever again. It was a
little dream that went up in flame
with the walls that harbored it. Who j
first became conscious that the tang
cf smoke was gradually filling their !
nostrils, it was hard to tell. They !
were net far behind each ether in that !
