"Thou shalt not kill," for they sighted a bunch of fine look ing ducks on Box Butte creek and crawled for "a mile or more" on their "stummicks" so as not to dis turb the feathered game. After tho long crawl they came up on the ducks and opened fire with both bar rels. After emptying their guns the I men wrio iMt'uneu iu ej mil mey had killed them all. When they has tened forward to get their game they were astonished to see a tall stranger rise from behind a blind nearby and ay, "Whatinell did you fellows try to bust up my wooden decoys for?" By ELSIE SEE. "Oh, you're In for n romance, Dick." "1 can't see any romance where a penniless youth falls In love with the richest girl In seven states," grumbled Dick. "Tilings do look dark," admitted Jerry. "But I've seen you save the day too many tlmcM on n football field when things looked dark to doubt that you'll come out of this tangle with col ors Hying and the lady In your arms." "You get out I've got an Ideal" Dick almost yelled, and bis glittering eye told Jerry that a prodigious plan was forming In bis mind. For the next inoutu, wnue Anno Morrison danced and motored and golfed, and while Jerry Dayton did likewise, Dick Stanford kept to his In surance ollice by day and to his apart ment by night until Jerry gave up try ing to draw lil in into social life or to draw from hlui the secret of bis night ly labors. At ll.o end of n month, how ever, Jerry's curiosity and hi vanity were gratified by an Invitation to Dick's apartment to be the audience of one to hear the first reading of Dick's play entitled, "Out of the Tun- "Bully for you, old boy!" and "Rich ard, you'll back the dramatized best tellers off the boa ids," were comments that came from the delighted Jerry during the first ;art of the reading, tut later he protested : "Oh, come now, Dick, whoever heard of u rich uncle from Alaska turning up to back an Im pecunious nephew In a scheme to drive Ids prospective fnther-ln-lnV to tho wall ns a means of making him suc cumb gracefully t the relationship?" "And whoever heard of people going to the theater to see something they've heard all about every day of their lives?" retorted Dick. "I throw up my hands 1" said Jerry, maklag an exaggerated demonstration of his acceptance of defeat. "Oil with the play I" Dick did go on with the play, and the play went on tho boards almost Im mediately, bringing so much money into tlio box ollice nnd such flattering offers to Its author that lie was soon In sight of iillluence. Dick began to hope that he dared approach Anne Morri son's hopelessly rich father as n pros pective son-in-law, but It was Jerry's unhappy lot to knock those hopes fly ing. "Old man, I've got some rotten news for you," said Jerry, as he rounded a corner of u hliady country latin, whither he had taken Diclc for a spin In a re markably new yellow car. "Our coin puny Is closing a deal with LIlliu Mon tague for that big lot adjoining the Morrison home in Huntley place, which seems like u confirmation of all those reports that Anne and old Montague are engaged." "You're n regular storehouse for comforting thoughts, Jerry." "The other cheek, please," said Jerry, with mock humility, but smiling so benignly that Dick laughed in spite of his deject ion. "I'm making myself the bearer of unpleasant tidings to give you u last chalice to go In an win." "A great chaiu'e le goi o go lu and win now," muttered Dick. "The smaller your chance Mie big ger your Wctury If you win. ('Mr;) up, old innu. Don't you know that while there's life there's hope? If you act like a dead one, of course thcreV ho Iiom for you. I might a 11.

"I'll let you and Alice, too, know that I'm not u dead one. Will you get me back to town right uwuy, Jerry V" With Jerry's aid Dick 'iinuagi-d to get the train, and the next iik-hou'. on the hotel piazza la an Adirondack resort, as Anne upeared. ail iu s"it white forduroy, he had the Joy of see ing pleased surprise Iu her cjes us she blushlngl.v met his own rapturous gaze She consented to shvw him the won ders of tho place, their first objective point bein' a high ;oint overlooking u wonderful panorama of sturdy little mountains. "Don't Ji-U love it?" exclaim. si Anne blissfully. "Love it? No I love you," said Dick in l.e:-.dl ng recklessness. "Anne, is there uny hope for me? Once I did hope n little, Anne, but I had nothing theu but a wealth of love to offer you. 1 haven't great material wealth to offer you now, but enough to begin on uud promising j respects. People are say ing that you are engaged to Elihn Mon. ague, lut I can't give you up without telling you that neither ho uor uny other man could love you moru than I do." "Why, Dick, Mr, Moutague Is going to marry my mother's bister out in Denver." suid Anne In surprise. Then she addej, with a pretty llttij pout; "If you hadn't been so busy becoming a famous playwright, you would have found out long ago that lurking in the wings and leaving the stage to other men is no wny to get a heroine out of u tangle." "Do you mean that 1 may choose my own method of getting you out of this tungle?" "Yes." whispered Anne, and the method which Dick chose was one e tuollsbcd by lonfc usage as both ap propriate and adequate. (Copyright, lint, by Oi McCtur Newspa per Syudtvitts.)'
