some thing was heard. They listened
for hours, without hearing a sound ;
but about r o'clock in the afternoon a
sharp piercing noise came ringing over
the wires. It was a sound that made
the listeners' blood run cold.
Only one thing In the world could
make a sound like that. It was the
crack of a revolver. The first report
had hardly stilled when another shot
was heard; and then there were more
In rapid succession. The4 listeners on
two different chasers heard these pis

PINK ARBUTUS
By RACHEL. E. FELCH.
(Copyright, 1920, Weutern Newspajior Union)
Before LilHan Lowell was complete
ly awakened that morning she knew In
stinctively that something nice vs go
ing to happen to her. She gazed dream
ily at the landscaped wall paper with
which her would-be artistic landlady
hud adorned her room, but somehow
she didn't see the absurd little boat
man and the miniature lake which
was represented again and again upon
the walls. Instead her thoughts had
leaped Into the country, for spring wns
In the air, and la fancy she was back
In North Conway climbing the granite
studded sides of Kearsarge or tolling
laboriously up Moat mountain in search
of trailing nrhutu. How beautiful
It was, the fragrant waxen blossoms I
And the deep pink ones!
"Package for you," called her land
lady, Mrs. Lemon. Just oulsldo her
door. "It's marked North Conway."
Lillian flew to the door. "It must be
flowers," she said when she saw the
package. Her busy lingers made short
work of the wrappings and soon dis
closed a huge bunch of nrbutus. "My
little sister Ruth must have sent them.
You must havo some, Mrs. Lemon," and
she chose some of (lie largo white clus
ters for her friend, who soon became
Jr coherent In her remonstrances con
ci ruing Lillian's generosity.
When she dressed, Lillian stood
looking nt the (lowers a moment. "I
hn'e to leave you here with no one to
cnln.v you, you lltflo stars. I'm going
to i.iko some of ynu down to tho ollleo
ami put on Mr. Hartford's desk. Per
hai you'll cheer him up."
!'r Mr. Hartford was reported to bo
miff' ring from a misplaced affection,
o ollleo talk had It. At any rate he
hud never smiled on any of his fern!
nine force, they knew lie was unmar
ried, and by the Inductive method of
reusonlng, the raun who never takes
any of his girls out to dinner, hasn't
a kind word for any of them, never
even notices If a girl ban done her hair
n new vny. nuiit be In love. Since
he had never been seen anywhere with
n girl, they reasoned that he had be
come a womnn hater. Down at the
ollle ht found a vase, and arranged
them that the fragile lints deepened
to lose, and rlpht In the center of her
bouquet she placed a dainty spray of
the miisl blushing pink of all. Blush
ing herxelf at her temerity, she placed
the beautiful blossoms upon h dck.
She hoped he would like them. She
rather thought he would. Still men
were queer, and had strange proclivi
ties for rising on the wrong side of
the bed. She henrd lilm coming, and
suddenly wished she had not put them
there, but the eyes of the other girls
were upon bvr, nnd she dared not re
move th-Mii. In eame Mr. Hartford.
Ills civ'nmary good morning said, he
Rented li'inself at tits desk.
"Arbutus, and such lovely colors!
Where d'd they come from?"
lie swung around In his chnlr. All
eyes were fixed upon lit in, except ono
pair, whose owner wns rivaling the
arbutus in her blushes.
"Oh, I see. Thnnk you very much,
Miss Lowell."
"They came from New Hampshire.
My sister sent them."
"And you shared thein with 'mo.
Thank you."
"I, too, have picked arbutus In Now
Hampshire."
"In New Hampshire," whe repeated,
"where?"
"I've plckel bushels of these," he
touched the lloweifr gently, "Just below
tho White Horse ledge. "Why, there's
one spot up there that I used to go to
every year. I never told any where it
was, hut there they im. all this deli
cious pink?"
"Wh'.te Horse ledge?"
"Why, yes. Odd namu, Isn't It? They
cnll It White Horse because you can
see a white horse on the side of the
cliff. It really does look like a horse.
Some people have fonnd other things
on the ledge. An Indian, a canoe, a
dog, but those things require too
great a strain oh my Imagination. The
horse, though. I enn truly see."
"So can I," replied Lillian, "though
It took mn a full half-hour the flrst
rime dad showed him to me. But I
didn't know you came from up there."
"But I knew yoi did, and on the
strength of the fact that we both came
from one little town tucked away
among the White mnuntnlns, I'm going
to ask you to hav dinner with me to
night, nnd hocauSH wo are both a bit
lonely tonight for some of tho master
pieces that God Mattered around so
freely up lu the hills, you are going to
take pity on me."
"Yes, Mr. Hartford," she said ns de
murely as he could wish.
"I've been u selfish bruto and picked
out the very prettiest ono for myself,
so you must wenr'all tho others."
So It was that tho two young people
faced each other ncross a dainty table
In one of the downtown rcstaafa&U
tlint night, and while tho otlic'rfl dis
cussed tho latest Jazz steps, fjr tn6
musical comedy of the hour, these two
climbed their beloved mountains hand
In hnnd, In search of the shy, elnslve
nrbutus. They drank together from
cool, mossy springs, nnd plucked bush
els of blueberries under tho blnzlpg
July sun.
"But I thought that you didn't like
girls?" questioned Lillian.
"I don't." he returned casually, "at
least I didn't till I found one exquisite
and lovely us tills spray of pink
nrbutus." He touched the dainty
flower, hut his eyes sought Lillian's.
