Every uow and then a horseman, bi-oud hatted and be-weaponed, with jangling' Mexican spurs and leather "chap" leggings, dismounted, tied his "cayuso" pony to the gnawed rack, and joined the group of cowboys lounging in the shade of Ashburu's postoffice. With each comer the first question was: "How's Chip?" "No better," Old Man Ashburn re plied, each time. "Looks to me like that thar was a mighty heavy load to put onto a child like Chip," said Santa Fe, the cowboy, with the gaudy Mexican sash about his waist. "A load uv pain an' misery big enough to break a man down, an' she nothV but a child !" ' "Yer right, only she h'ain't a child," spoke red cheeked Posy; she's Uow old, Ashburn?" "Seventeen," Ashburn answered. "Hanged if I knowed." said Santa Fo. "Reckon yer right; but I got bo ust to secin' her amongst us, a-ridin' the cayuscs an danciii' an' laughin' an' singin like a happy child, that I'd plumb fergot she'd growed up." "Me, too," said Ileddy Uoso. "I'm mightily afcurd she'll never ride nur run no more," said Old Man Ashburn. "Ever sence she was a throwed she's be'n a-gittin' slowly but shorely worso an' worse, an' " "Wal," interrupted Santo Fc, with grim earnestness, "I h'ain't never be'n sorry fer the way wo run out o' the Range the cuss that roped the cayuse an' got her throwed." "Nur me 1" cried a cowboy chorus. At the sound of a faint call, Old Man Ashburn hastened within the building. Presently ho appeared, dragging carefully behind him a splint bottomed rocking chair, in which reclined the wasted form of little Chip, Ashburn's crippled daugh ter. At sight of her, tho impulsive cow boys waved their broad hats and went through the motions of shouting lusti ly, but very little sound came from their distended mouths. "Hello, boys!" tho little cripple saluted, weakly. "I jest couldn't stay in there any longer when I heard you all talking. Pa didn't want me to como, but I told him" "She 'lowed," interrupted Ashburn, 'that she'd como out yere if she'd to crawl on her hands an' knees, an' I reckon she'd" "You bet she'd a-done it!" broke in Santa Fe. "That's what she'd a-done," agreed Redtly Rose. "Ikw nloe ho sunshjno seems 1" said the little cripple. "I've been a-thinkin' often that mebby I'd never P't out into it ag'iu to run an' ride as ust to. Some way" "Sant," whispered Posy, "hanged if I hxtin't sorry wo stopped at ruuuin out the cuss that got her throwed." "Me. too!" returned Santa Fe. "Ort to a killed him then an' thar!" Rose. Even the slight exertion, attendant) upon the short trip from, the little bed room to the door seemed almost too, much for Chip's enfeebled frame. Her faco grew paler, and she eaned. wearjr ly btick in tho old rocking chair. "Mebby I'll never see you again, boys." she piped. "I" 'Old man, interrupted Posy, "you bettor take her back now." "But I don't want to go," fto gir Erotested. "I wanf. to stay an' seethe oys, an' " - As easily as if she had been of but a fviither's weight, Posy took her jr his strong arms and carried her bat, . int.) her little bedroom carefully and very tenderly. His brown pheek was cIojo to her pale one, "An who, Chip?" he whispered. "An' you, Posy," she answered, softly. "Boys," Old Man Ashburn was say ing as Posy rejoined the group about tho door, "things looks mighty black. Sh'.'s a - sutferin' an a - sufferin' an" Posy rushed to his cayuse, flung himself into the saddle, and dashed away across the prairie, followed by his comrades. "I couldn't stand it," he told them, as the ponies bounded away to the eastward. "I jest couldn't stand to lier.r that pore ole cuss a-tellin' of little Chip a-gettin' nearder an' nearder deu th, an he, her dad, not able to help her!' "oay," said Santa Fe, suddenly, "we o-.t"- "You bet!" interrupted Posy. "We orl. an we will do" "Thar comes Hank !" broke in Reddy Roso, as the little mule and faded buc kboard that comprised the turnout of Hank Bitters, the mail carrier, emerged from the distant timbor. "llank's got a passenger." Obedient to the touch of the nuge Me;:ican spurs, the cayuses bounded tov.ard the approaching vehicle at the po-v boy's favorite gait, a keen run. J lank Bitters' passenger, an old gc::tleman with a phenomenally bald Jes4 and general appearance ef almost owlish wisdom, had been grow in? more and more uncomfortable ever since entering the cattle country. Vv v vv. l-"v V , I V t I and later of Hank Bitters had not served to allay any pf his apprehension. "W y, sam Hankr, wit4 great gTay ity, "some uv these yere cowboys pfzoii plumb pljranl An' reckless j Val. reckless h ain't no ojitxe for it 1 They're bad!". v? i. ? i jus auunof smvereu.

"I've knowed 'em to shoot a states man jest fer wearin a plug hat!" "Mv stars!" shivered the nassenirer. "Knowed wuss'u that W'y, out on the Soap River ranD-e And Hank Bitters luridly pictured tho depravity of the cowboys of the Soap river region. "But surely they would not harm me," quavered the passenger, "if they were apprised of my identity ! ' "Which?" "If they knew who I was." "Mebby they'd let you off easy," con soled llank. "And when we do come in contact with them, you will do your best to sootno them? "I'll do what I kin," returned Hank. "But it's mighty finnicky business. And so he worked upon the fears of his passenger till the old gentleman gazed apprehensively about, as if he expectetl to see a dozen fierce cowboys leap from behind every bush, to make of his person an impromptu revolver target. He was nearly ready to cry out with alarm when, as they emerged from the timber, he beheld Santa Fe and his comrades careering towards them. The yells of recognition with which they greeted Hank, while still rods away, sent a great thrill of terror througn the old gentleman. "Tell them who I am I" he whispered. hoarsely. "Tell them I am a man of peace bound on an errand of mercy 1' "I'll do the best I kin." returned Hank, with an inward convulsion. "But it's mighty risky business! They're pizon. plumb pizon 1" As the cowboys circled about tho buckboard the passenger almost gave up all nope. "Tell them!" he whispered to Hank. That worthy, with a tremendous wink at Santa Je, called out: "Uon t be brash, boys! Inis yere gent's on his way to visit a ole time friend down on the Cimarrofl, what's got a crippled boy. As a favor to me, don't hurt him. Name'B Poc Bristow, M. D.. uv"- "What?" cried Posy. "A doctor? Got yer tools an' medicine along, doc?" "Yes, sir," quavered the physician. "Got them along!" cried Posy. "lhen yer jest "Hold on!" broke in Santa Fe. catching Posy's idea. "We dpn't want no botch doctor. Doc, air you up to yer game? "I hardly"- "I mean, do you know yer biz? Dp you size up witb the balance uv the doctors?" Pr. Bristow's professional pride, up in arms in an instant, overcame his fears. "Know my business, s, sir?

Therefore I am justly accorded great credit for my almost miraculous cure. 1 "Boys," said Posy, "we wanthlm,!" "lhats what W9 00." agreed Reddy IWS6. As the cowboys reached this decision the party was within a hundred yards of Ashburn's postoflice, "Poo," said Posy, "you'll have to stop yere a while." The physician's air of gratified pro fessional pride was instantly super seded by fear. "Oh, gentlemen, spare mel" he Suavcred. "I will not wear it again ' you object to its appearance !" " 'Pea ranee uv what?" asked Santa Fe. "Mv hat 'mux?' Ithlnk vou call it!' Hank Bitters threatened to explode with delight, but the cowboys never even smuea. . The physician was so loath to leave the vehicle that he had to be dragged out by rorce. "Take it easy, doc," soothed Posy. "We don't mean no harm 1" Dr. Bristow. little reassured, men tally anathematized tho day he left his city homo to throw himself into the clutches of these white savages. "Doc," began Posy, "kin you cure a bein' throwed frum a cayuse?" Dr. Bristow's professions! instinct got the better of a portion of his fears. "I think I can safely say I can, sir, m !il- ii t I J ii a cure is possiDie, ne saia. - Posy led the way to Chip's bedside. "Chip, this yere is Doc BristoWi Doc, this yere is Ole Man Ashburn, Chip's dad.- - Cqme, pie man j" Ashburn followed him out of doors. and Dr. Bristow was alone with his patient. The cowboys were very grave when me pnysician reappeared. Gentlemen" he began. "Means you an' Saut, I reckon, i-osy - said Keddy Kose, "What'll it be with litt little Chip, doc?' asked Posy. "Although her case ia extremely Srecarious," replied, the physician, de berately, "with proper nursing and the care of a skilled physician, she can be restored to, health, A delicate and dangerous operation is necessary. If she survives thai and is attended by" ' She will be I The biff doctor'!! U uiar, taiu jrubv, Who might he be, if I may ask?" questioned the physician.

"That's what he won't!" agreed Reddy Rose. Dr. Bristow seemed to fully realize what Posy's words implied. Next day, long before the hour for performing the operation tliat was to end or save Chip s life, the cowbovs had congregated in tho shade of Asli burn's postolllce. Posy was not with them. "Posy," little Chip was saying, as she feebly stroked tho rough head bent above her, if I if 1 don t get out again, give each of the boys one of these. Then she weakly drew from beneath her pillow as many locks of hair, tied with little pieces of ribbon, as there were cowboys in the group outside. There was one for Posy, also, he no ticed through the mist of tears that dimmed his eves. Little Chip softly stroked Posy's rougli head, as he bent still lower til his lips touched hers, and a hot tear fell on each cheek, lhen, far braver than he, she turned her face away, "Good-by, Posy," she said. "Good-by, Chip." Ho staggered out of the room, and dashing tho tears from his eyes, he grasped tho doctor's arm with a force that made him wince, and whispered hoarsely : "Go in, now, an' an' if her good by was tho last one, God forgive ye ! This yere iron" half drawing his re volver "never misses fire, an' Wal, you'll never go offen the Range I" Dr. Bristow had made no idle boast when he spoke of his professional skill. and all of that skill was called into action to preserve unsnapped the chord that bound poor little suffering Chip to life. When the operation was over and the crisis past, the great physician tottered through the door and fell fainting into Posy s arms. "Sho is safe! he gasped, as he opened his eyes. As if moved by a common impulse. the cowboys mounted their cayuses and galloped off across the prairie at whirlwind speed. Two miles away they halted, and gave yent to their rejoicing in yells both long and loud. A month later, when little Chip was able to hop about quite smartly on her crutches, Dr. iJristow asked of .rosy. of whom he seemed to stand in dread ful fear, if he might leave for his eastern home on the following day. "But, doc, t thought you was keen to go out on the Cimarron ?" Nothing was further from Dr. Bris tow's desire. He told himself that if he could but return home it would take a most powerful attraction indeed tq draw him away from it. Santa Fe and Old Man Ashburn held several mysterious conferences, in which Posy was not invited to take Sai-t. The result was apparent next ay. Instead of the faded buckboard. tt i n:n j ' anus ciiiers arnve.q m a long spring wagon, which, as Reddy Rose said. was simply "frorcris" with red paint or the reddest red; and Hank nimself was gotten up for the great occasion "regardless," tn an uncomfortable suit of new store clothes, topped off by a collar that persisted in riding his red neck most outrageously. . clerical looking personae-e who accompanied him was salutvi dv the cowbovs with shouts of "Preacher Blue!" The cowboys were all in holiday at tire, and even Old Man Ashburn was quite "smartly" arrayed. Posy stared In wonder at the group, but from the way Utile Chip smiled and blushed, it was evidently not at all a mystery to her. "Posy," began Santa Fe, awk wardly. "I want to say fer me an' the boys an' Old Man, yere, that we Tow we know how you an' Chip feel towards each other, an' an' " "We reckon you both show mighty good taste," broke in Reddy Rose. "we that is you wal darn it. you're goin' to git married yere, an' now, an an yere s yer weddm pres ent from me an' the boys! Soon's it's over you're goin' to start on a weddin' tower. Wo Tow Chip needs travel :" and Santa Fe thrust a roll of bills into the hand of the astonished Posy. The latter presently essayed to ex press all his thanks, but the cowboys. seeing his embarrassment, drowned his words by wild yells. After lJosy and Chip had been made one, Dr. Bristow was the first to be equal to the occasion. He first pro posed and earned out tho kissing of the bride. Ibo cowboys followed suit, and Posy, still half dazed, was nearl knocked on lus feet by a rush of com rades to claim tribute froip ae tempt ing mouth of the new made bride.
