"Hob Is hlwa;" tnlklng about tbt
delirious plos mid enkos bis mother
makes." J win Winston conlldrd to bor i
iiiotbrr. nt tin' same time giving mi
admiring k'micl nt tbo beautiful soli
taire which adorned her third finder.
"You see," she rontlnucd, "be wants
nie to know that I will have to be
milte prollrlent In tbo culinary art to
compete with her."
Mrs. Winston smiled at her daugh
ter's simplicity. "Well, why don't you
show him what you ran do, Jean?"
she replied. "Ho doesn't know that
you have been taking a course In do
mestic science nnd arc already quite
proficient. Why not surprise him?"
"That's n perfectly splendid Idea,
niumsle." Jean exclaimed. "Hob Is
coming to dinner tonight and I'll make
the most elaborate cake Imaginable.
It will surely rival anything which
Mrs. lingers ever ninde."
So donning the largest apron avail
able, J:in sot about her task. True
to her desire, the cake was Indeed an
elaborate affair, for every known In
gredient necessary to the making of n
perfect cake was used by Jean.
"There," she exclaimed, as she admir
ingly put the finishing touches to the
dainty pink and white frosting, "If
that doesn't heat Hob's mother's cakes
than I'm greatly mistaken." She was
quite beside herself, for the cake was
a grand success anil one of which any
girl might wo.ll be proud. She could
picture Hob munching a piece of the
toothsome dainty. "Won't be be sur
prised nnd dellghtrtl," she thought. So
the cake was put away for safe keep
ing and Jean proceeded to busy her
self about the house.
The day passed very quickly and,
glancing nt the clock, she realized that
she had just about an hour In which
to dress for dinner. Donning her fa
vorite blue frock, she was aho'it to
proceed down stairs when suddenly
she became aware of the fact that
something wns missing. "Oh, my ring!
Where could I baveput It?" she ex
claimed. After a very careful search
of her favorite hiding places she failed
to find any trace of the lost treasure.
Soon she bad the whole household
transformed Into a searching party,
but all without nvail. Tbo ring could
not be found.
"Oh, whnt shnll I do?" bemoaned
Jean. "I can never tell Rob I have
lost It; he would think It so careless
of me. I'm sure I had It this morn
ing," si c continued. "Hut In my fool
ish pride and excitement over that
horrid cake I lost It. I just hate the
old cake now !"
All, of course, were In sympathy
with her; but when one has lost her
trensured engagement ring It Is hard
to be consoled.
In due course of time Hob arrived,
and to all outward appearances Jenn
was Immensely happy. "What If he
should miss it from my finger," she"
soliloquized. Th'e thought caused tier
some concern, but she quietly dis
missed It, hoping ngninst hope that
such a tiling would not come to pass.
The dinner progressed very favor
ably, and llnnlly the cake was brought
forth. Hob was greatly Impressed
with its tempting appearance, and
Jean promptly explained that she had
made It especially fis , him and ex
pressed the hope that he would like It.
He was, of cour.se, anxious to sample
Jean's cooking and a very generous
portion was served him.
Jean was quite elated, and was
waiting anxiously for the words of
praise which she knew she was sure
to receive. Great was her surprise,
however, as she glanced up at Hob
to see a distressed look on his face.
"Why, what's the trouble? Is there
anything the matter with the cake?"
Jean anxiously Inquired. All eyes
were Immediately on Hob.
"Oh, no, not nt all," he assurl her.
"Only I struck something rather hard,"
and presently he drew forth n portion
of the cake In which wns Imbedded
nothing less than Jenn's cherished
ring. Poor Hob; he looked both mys
tified and embarrassed. Hut Jean at
once cleared up the situation. "Oh,
my precious ring!" she rapturously
exctrilmed. "Why, how did It ever get
Into thnt cake?" Instantly she re
membered removing it from her lingor
before commencing to bake the
cake, ami concluded thnt In some mys
terious way It must have dropped Into
the mixture.
Great mirth followed and Jean Joined
the merriment, ns she realized her ter
rible blunder, despite her efforts to dis
play her talents In the all-Important
line.
"Hut It wasn't such a bad cake after
all, was it. Hob?" she fondly Inquired,
nfter the merriment hnd subsided.
"Well, I should say not," be replied;
"It was a perfect Jewel of a cake, but,"
ho continued, "I'm afraid you will hnve
to find a more economical recipe be
fore we are married, because my sal
ary would never wnrrant diamond
flavored cakes."

(Copyrllit. His. by tho Wtm Nw.

It was a district where law and or
der prevailed only where the commu
nity centers showed numerical
strength. Outlawry wns the rule where
reckless groups banded togViher along
tho ranges, and family, and tribal
feuds ran through two, and even three
generations.
It wns nt Acton that Heubon laine 1
and his daughter Klsle lived. She was
the belle of the county. In the full
bloom of lovely maidenhood. Mr.
I.nno was In bis little one-story office
one evening when a rough looking
man mounted on horseback dashed up
to tho place, entered It. there was a
shot, the visitor came out swiftly,
leaped to the saddle, and was off In a
flash.
"It's a murder I" announced the first
innn summoned by the echo of the
report, ns he found Ileuben Lane lying
lifeless beside his desk.
. "And robbery I" ndded another.
The dreadful news utterly crushed
Klsle. It wns only after the funeral
that she regained composure and forti
tude. Over that sunny face came a
cloud, Into the depths of her eyes n
purpose. She was almost stern as
she said :
" 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a
tooth,' that was Ingrained with my
dead father. I know what ho would
have mo do. I will divide my fortune
nnd mnrry the man who will bring to
Justice tho cowardly assassin."
Thnt day there appeared at the of
fice of Lawyer Hnrton, the executor of
the estate, a man who was consider
able of a mystery In the section. He
wns known ns Alvln Morse, and bad
come to Acton about a year previous.
He grew a long beard that covered up
nil of his fnce except the bright, mag
netic eyes. He made his living by
hunting and acting ns n guide to pros
pectors nnd speculators looking for
Iron and coal prospects. Hough look
ing, uncouth, ho entered the lawyer's
office with the bearing of a natural
athlete and man of cournge.
"I Just heard of the killing of Mr.
Lane," he said. '"I understand thnt
so far no trace of the murderer has
been reported. I snw the sheriff. Ho
gnve me two clews; the revolver drop
ped by the assassin, and a description
of his horse. I have seen both be
fore. I know tho man nnd I am going
nfter him."
There was a rustle, and for the first
time the visitor noted n veiled figure
seated back In the shadow. Ills coon
skin cap was Instantly doffed.
"You know tho reward," spoke the
lawyer. "Miss Lane here will divide
her fortune with the man who brings
her father's murderer to Justice and
will become his wife, If he so elects."
"I shall ask no reword," returned Al
vln Morse In clear, resonant tones.
"Any real man would be glad to ho
of service to a woman In distress. Mr.
Lnne was an honor to the town and
bis death should be avenged."
"We have met before," spoke Klsle.
"It wns you who seized me to swing
with me from the river trestle just In
time to save .me from an onrushlng
train."
"And got my own Imperiled self out
of danger as well," lightly remarked
Morse, hut his heart was aqulvor as
he recalled that dreadful, yet delicious
moment when, clnsplng her dainty
form, he swung n hundred feet over
n yawning nbyss.
Then two weeks pnssed by nnd one
dny n forlorn travel-worn figure In
deed ent' ied the olllce of tho lawyer.
"The murderer is In the town Jail,"
announced Morse quletly, "but dying.
He drew Ms revolver on'mo; ft caught
In his co.it, but I have what I prom
ised I got your man."
"I must send for Miss Lane nt once,"
spoke Mr. Hnrton. "The reward "
Morse held up n silencing hnnd.
"Let all thnt he forgotten," he said.
"Tho money l would not take. As to
the girl herself," and his volceiowered
to tenderness nnd longing, "I am not
of her grade. I nm a fugitive from Jus
tlce charged with robbing a bank up
North, of which I was a cashier. It
was some burglar, but I was accused
unjustly nnd fled, a broken man, to
hide In this wilderness."
It was a new Alvln Morso who stnr
tied the lawyer nnd Klsle Lnne the
next morning ns they sat In consultn
tlon. lie was nrrayed In new uttlre,
the thick henrd was gone, youth, vl
vnclty, Intelligence, hope showed In
every fenture of (hat handsome face,
and Klsle regarded him with height
ened color.
"I have a strange story to tell," nnr
rated Morse. "I felt a pity for the
prisoner, on nccount of his destitute
wife nnd child, nnd I promised to see
thnt they wore provided for. Then, ns
ho told of his many past criminal
deeds, he chanced to confess the bur
glary of the bank where I wns cm
ployed. He mndo a written confession,
completely, clearing me of guilt. I am
n free ffim nt Inst I"
"A Lnne never went back on n
pledgo sacredly given," spoke Klsle. "I
will keep my promise, Mr. Hnrton.
We will divide my father's estute
evenly."
"I shnll never accept It!" declared
Morse with finality.
"Then then the further pledge "
"Let time tell I" spolvt the lawyer,
seeking to relieve the pending embar
rassment of the moment and spare the
blushes of Klsle and tho delicacy of
feeljng. of tho young man and it dldl
