The Colonel's Campaign
BY CHARLES MOREAU HARGIS
(Copyright.)
Col. Leith was proud of his posses
sion. The big, red, vociferous car ex
actly suited his mood for he liked to
do things hurriedly; ho worshiped
swlftnoss. Even now he had loft the
fort by tho vulloy road and was
dustily tearing toward Rockwell City,
four miles away.
So Col. Leith went unconsciously on
his way, driving his motor car faster
and faster until something happened.
Something usually docs happen with
motor cars. Several things hap
pened first and last with this ono and
the colonel.
This was a comparatively harmless
happening. Ho cavorted around tho
bluffs by tho city's edge, careened
through tho deep cut by tho river
and camo plump on Grace Dewey,
daughter of tho best known ranchman
in tho valley.
Her mount reared, but trained
horsewoman that sho was, sho kept
her seat in tho saddle. Tho car
wheezed and tho horso reared again.
TIiIb time sho did not keep hor Boat,
but went down in a limp bundle to
tho hard road, while tho horso raced
up tho ravine, as if It, too, were
working for a speed record.
To make tho incident the more strik
ing, Lieut. Roberts just then camo
cantering down tho highway, his ac
coutrements Jangling and his cavalry
charger doing its prettiest gait.
Roberts and the colonel were at tho
girl's Hido simultaneously.
"I am sure I did not mean " be
gan the colonel.
"Lot. mo assist you, miss," and the
lieutenant was lifting her, his arm
around her shoulders and her jaunty
hat resting againBt his coat sleevo. At
that identical moment tho lieutenant
and the colonel parted company as
friends. They did not realize that
thoy woro at tho separation of the
ways, but it was so. Miss Dowoy
opened hor eyes, looked into the
colonel's face; thon recognized tho
lieutenant and straightened up, fully
recovered. They woro not strangers;
nil had met at Mrs. Marson's recep
tion a month before.
"I nm not hurt not hurt. But
whore is Rex?" sho asked, looking
anxiously around.
"I think, madam," replied the
colonel, bowing with awkward and
old-fashioned courtesy, "that he is Just
Her Mount Reared.
crossing the Rocky mountains by this
time, if he kept on going at tho
rate he started. But may I take you
home?"
He motioned toward tho vociferous
red car that panted and rumbled by
the roadside.
With Roberts riding stiffly behind,
talking at intervals to tho passenger,
they made their way slowly across
the long brldgo and over the broad
valley toward tho wido-porched bungalow-dwelling
of tho Dewey ranch.
The next day tho colonol sat in his
leather chair and again went over the
affair at the ravino. A long time ho
mused, and now and again a smllo
lighted tho bronzed face. Twenty
years in tho army, four at West Point
yes, it was time. He would think
more about it.
From that time it was a raco be
tween tho colonol and tho lieutenant.
The colonel drovo as swiftly ns
ever; tho lieutenant took lonoly horse
back rides. Then ono ovoning Rob
erts called on his commander.
"I would like absence for a few
days, sir."'
"Going to leave us?" quoried tho
colonel. "You know wo may have
marching orders for tho maneuvers
soon."
"No no, not a great distance, sir. '
The lieutenant was embarrassed.
Tho leave was granted and the
colonel waB secretly glad to do it. The
field would be clear for awhile, at
least. Ho ordered his car for the
early evening.
"Boo that it is In perfect trim,
James," said he to his servant. "I may
want to tako a long run."
Out over the open plains he went,
30 miles an hour, tho fresh breath of
the level lands beating his faco and
the inspiration of wide reaches of un
trammeled view delighting his eyes.
Turning into the valley along the
river, he came to the tall cottonwoods,
once the hiding places of savages
with whom tho early commanders of
the garrlBon hud fought. The lamps
flickered on the underbrush
What Btop! Itc verso tho englno!
Closo in front were rearing figures.
Two horses were plunging In the road
side, ono hud fallen, tangled in a
barbed wiro fence that some reckless
farmer had strung close to the road.
Tho colonel leaped from his car and
ran to help tho travelers out of their
predicament.
"He careful, miss there, I'll help
you tip," and he lifted from the vines
and tall grasses beside tho road a
slender form garbed In gray.
"Is sho hurt?" came a voice from
the depth of the tangled saplings, as
her companion forced his way toward
them.
Turning, the colonol recognized in
tho bedraggled cavalier Roberts.
He almost feared to look at tho
young woman who was regaining her
feet but he did. It was as ho sus
pected. "1 am so sorry " he began. "I sup
posed thero was a clear road."
"We don't blame you at all," re
plied Roberts, cheerfully, "but tho fact
Is, It is somewhat embarrassing.
Grace's Miss Dewey's horse has run
off and we that Is, well, wo want to
get to Rockwell City mighty bad
and quick!"
"I am sure It was no fault of yours,"
added the young woman, now regain
ing her feet and showing a constant
ly increasing discomfiture.
Tho red motor car glared at tho
trio wickedly as If it were glad it had
disconcerted the plans of any enemy of
its master.
"Now, colonel, 1 hate to tell you
this," began Roberts, nervously. "I
am sure you will sympathize with me
and with Grace Miss Dewey.
You see, colonel, we are that Is, well,
wo are going to be married."
If the red automobilo had turned
somersaults, if tho river had suddenly
stood on end, the colonel could scarce
ly have been more taken aback. He
turned his face so that it would not
show pnlo In tho glare of the pilot
lamp.
"Yes, I understand," he finally man
aged to say.
"And Miss Dewey's father does not
like It very well," with the suspicion
of a laugh In tho words. "In fact, he
will probably be after us when he
finds out. Wo have come this round
about way to throw him off the track
and you see where wo are?"
"Yes, I see," was tho slow response.
Tho colonel's voice was strangely
cold, and ho was conscious of a dis
tinct effort in getting the words out in
tho proper form. "I see. You are
afraid ho will catch you before you
aro married? Ho does not like army
men?"
Thero was an odd twist in tho
colonel's voice as if he, too, were in
clined to smile.
"Papa lias his prejudices, you
know," put in Miss Dewey, demurely.
"He will miss us before long;" tho
lieutenant's words fairly dripped with
excitement. He peered anxiously
down the road. "And Grace's horse
has gono for good."
"My duty Is clear," began the
colonel, his voice still husky. "I know
very well that you young people
should be taken in charge. You, lieu
"ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS."
The Latest Hygienic Pipe Not
tenant, should be put under ar
rest, and you, Miss Grace, ought
to be turned over to your fa
ther. You both know that this should
be done."
He had not looked at them while
he talked now that he did, he. saw
that Roberts' arm was around tho
rancher's daughter, and that her eyes
were gazing appenllngly toward him.
He always had admired those blue
eyes he looked into them, his heart
in the glance, then with a dush of his
hand wiped out the vision.
"You scapegraces deserve this but
I don't know that your father, miss, Is
any friend of mine. Where did you
say you wanted to go?"
"To Rockwell City to a minister's,"
eagerly exclaimed Roberts.
"Climb in here send that horso ot
yours up tho road we'll get him in
the morning." His orders were posi
tive and definite.
A stroke of the whip and the lieu
tenant's mount went racing up the
path after the ranch girl's Rex. Rob
erts and Grace clambered into tho car.
With a crunch the car started, and
In another minute they were speeding
toward Rockwell City, 40 miles nu
hour.
Up tho deserted street, across the
railroad tracks, past the hotel with
its many lights they sped. With a jolt
they stopped at a modest dwelling on
a side street. Col. Leith was first to
leap from the car.
Gently he helped the young woman
from her place, and his strong hand
was in hers as he gave her to Rob
erts' care.
"This Is a very Informal and undig
nified proceeding, young people," ho
began. "I am sorry to sec you do
this way." Ho was talking against
time, for so long as he talked her hand
lay In his. "I am not going to give
my approval but I will give my bless
ing." He hesitated a little. "As for you,
Lieut. Roberts, if you iihow yourself
on tho reservation for two weeks, you
will be placed in the guard-house.
Good luck good-by!"
As the colonel left the town behind
on his way to tho post, ho met an
eager rider hurrying cityward. Ho
might have told him some interesting
news had he wished. Instead, he
pushed the car to a swifter speed.
Why cause people unnecessary worry?

speeds his vehicle regardless of th

It was a severe trial to Mr. Harding
