"Yer money or yer lite! Hold np.
lady!"
The woman repressed a startled Im
pulse to scream. Then her Inborn
fearlessness, coupled with an impa
tient contempt for the Ill-Judgment
that would hope to find money on her,
broke forth in one crisp adjuration.
"Oh, don't be an idjlt!" she said.
The raised club wavered Impercepti
bly as Its muffled owner strove to
shape his mind to this unexpected re
ception of his threat. Had this soli
tary female some unseen guard in her
wake? He glanced suspiciously along
the dark road.
"I said, yer money er yer life," he
repeated, somewhat uncertainly.
Well, you kin go on sayin' all night
if it amuses you. Lemme past!"
The masked figure gave one final
look into the dark.
Aw, stow that!" he growled. "None
o yer sass. old lady! You're Jest the
kind wot carries a wad In their stock
in. Cough up now! I ain't had a
square meal in three days."
The woman clutched tightly a small
plush bag which she carried.
"I ain't got no wad," she retorted
decisively, "but I got a nice little
aineymite bomb in this here bag that'll
blow you where you won't want meals
for some time. You'll be too much oc
cupied kepln' cooL"
As she raised the bag threateningly
the man drew back. The arm holding
the club fell to his side.
"Go on 1 won't touch you he
grumbled sulkily. "You ain't got no
dlneymlte, but darned if I don't ad
mire yer pluck. You mind me of "
He watched her as she stalked off
Into the dark, strange half-forgotten
memories stirring within him. Sud
denly a grin widened his mouth.
"By Jingoes! She's comin back!
What's eatln' hrT"
The woman approached with decis
ion. "Ton got me nervous now," she ad
mitted grudgingly, "though I ain't
afraid of you. somehow. But If you're
dyin' to make use of that there stick
of yours you can come along to pro
tect me. There's a bad place up the
road a bit."
"Sure!" His heart warmed unac
countably at this evidence of femin
inity In the valiant female. It was a
long time since he had been called on
for protection, or help In any form.
Unconsciously he squared his shoul
ders, threw back his head, as he
itepped briskly out beside her.
"IU give you a good square meal
when we git home,", she promised him.
Hungry as he honestly was, the of
fer, with Its hint of reward, in some
subtle way offended him.
"You needn't mind. I kin git
along." he answered loftily.
She glanced at him curiously.
"How long have you been doing
this?"
"What?"
"Why, this here highway robbery
business."
That's telllny he grinned.
"I magine you're new at it," she
persisted.
"Why?" indignantly.
"Oh. you're sort of kind an' nice.
You ain't no hardened criminal," she
vouchsafed, the wile of the eternal
feminine unconquerable even In this
uncertain situation.
The man felt an added warmth per
meate his entire being. A sudden de
sire to stand well with this fearless,
ret distinctly appealing Individual
urged up within him.
Suddenly she started. "Ssh! What's
that?"
They had reached the "bad part." a
place where the road wound through a
dense growth of forest, thick with un
derbrush and dark with an appalling
darkness. Again came the crackling,
as of a heavy body pushing through
the brush. She clutched his arm nerv
ously. "Dont be skeered." he reassured
her. "It's nothin but some animile
prowlln'." He put his hand protect
ingly over hers. It felt appealingly
small In his powerful grasp. A rush
I of memories swept over him, render
ing him suddenly solicitous for the
woman at his side.
"What are you doln of, anyway,
alone in the pitch dark on a road like
this?" he queried.
"I haven't met nothin worse than
you, bo far."
He coughed, suddenly abashed.
"That's so."
"An I wish you'd take off that crazy
mask. It makes me feel like a 'com
plice, walkin' along with It!" She drew
away Indignantly.
"Sure!" He tore off the strip of
black cloth obligingly and put it In
bis pocket. ,
"I used to belong to these parts," he
offered pacifically after a short si
lence. "Twasn't no fault of the parts
then, I reckon."
"Haw-baw!" He laughed enjoylng
ly. "By Cricky! but you mind me of
Say, of course It's fifteen , year
now an' I spose she alnt here no
more, but did you ever hear of" he
hesitated between a strong reluctance
to speak the name and a burning de
aire to know " of Llndy Rastall as
was?"
The woman started Imperceptibly.
"Seems to me I've heard of her,"
he admitted. "What about her?"
"Oh. nothin. Thought mebbe yon
knew her.1
There was silence tor a space. Pres
ently the man looked around him with
a start.
"Say, what're you turnln' In here
for?"
"Because I live here," she answer
ed tersely. She closed the gate be
hind her and started up the path by
his side.
"Well, well! Bought the old place,
eh?" he murmured absently. "S'pone
her old uncle Jabe's dead, then."
"Yes, he's dead." She fitted the key
in the lock and pushed open the door. .
"Come through to the kitchen." she
said. "1 ain't had my own supper yet
You can have a bite with me."
She led the way back, groped about
for the lamp, lit it and set it on a
SBrall shelf over the table. The man
looked about him eagerly.
"Fifteen year," he murmured, "an'
Jest the same. Well, well! He turn
ed to the woman, who had thrown off
her scarf and cloak and stood silently
regarding him.
"Llndy!" he gasped.
"Yes. Sam Martin, it's Llndy! I
knowed you the minute you spoke my
name. Now will you Just kindly tell
me why you run off like that, sudden,
without a word, when me an' you had
spoke our promise, an' never turned
up from that day to this?" Her face
was white with the rush of memories
that overpowered her.
.The man straightened up and faced
her.
"Yes, IU tell you. Llndy," he said,
"an I can't see as the fault was mine
You 'member the day we quarreled
over that painter fellow, as I thought
was foolin' around you too much an'
you went off mad. Well, I come over
that evenln' to beg your pardon for
doubtin' of you. an' Jest as I got to
the end of the path that leads into
the orchard, I seed you with " him,
under that same tree where I'd ast
you, an' got your promise. An' while
I stood there he put his arms round
you an' kissed you."
"It's a lie!"
" Taln't no lie. I seen him! He put
his arm around .you an' bent over an'
an' then I Jest couldn't bear to see
It an' I turned an walked out of the
place an' ain't never been back there
since, not till now."
"Yes, Sam Martin, an' If you'd had
any sense in your stupid bead you'd
of come right on an' knocked him
down s'tead of marchin' off an' leavin'
me to do It! My hands is maybe little
but I gave him one knock that night
that"
"Llndy!"
"I was Just tellin' him," she went on
Indignantly, "how he'd have to. go,
'cause you said I must choose an' of
course I'd choose you. an an' then he
tried to Oh, Sam," she half sobbed
from his arms, "why didn't you never
come back?"
He was silent for a moment.
"I've come now. Llndy." he offered
at last, uncertainly.
"Yes, you've come now an' how?"
she flashed, drawing indignantly away
from him as the memory of his ear
lier performance swept over her.
"Thievin', an' scarin' women in the
dark an' "
"Llndy, will you listen to me? This
Is the truth. Llndy. It's the first time I
ever made to hold ' up anyone. But
things has been goin' hard with me
fer a long time now, an' I was Jest
about desperate. People Is so blasted
indifferent when a man asks fer hon
est work, an' the women Is worse than
the men. Tonight I was Jest plumb
mad. I says to myself. By Gum! I'll
make someone cough up somethln'. if
I have to stand here till the crack o'
doom! Llndy," he broke off sudden
ly, a boyish anxiety In his voice, "what
made you so sassy? Didnt I look
like a real one?"
Llndy smothered a laugh. "Oh Sam,"
she said,. "you're Jest the same old "
"The club was only to scare 'em,"
he Interrupted, abandoning the point
in his eagerness to explain, "an hon
est. Llndy, I wouldn't of taken more'n
a dollar from you. not if you'd handed
out two hundred of 'em."
Truth rang unmistakably in his
words. He paused and waited for her
Judgment.
Presently a small, firm hand clasped
his. '
"All right, Sam." she said.
"Lindy dear!" He took her hands
In his and his voice grew strong with
purpose. T have nothin' to offer you,
now, but by Jingoes! IU work."
"Sam." She looked down, hesitat
ing. "Sam," she began again shyly, "this
place is simply goin' to rack an' ruin
for want of a man to look after it!"
. "Oh Llndy!" He drew her to him
and stood silent, resting his cheek on
her hair. Presently a smile of irre
pressible humor spread over his face.
"I said tonight, 'yer money or yer
life.' he whispered, "but I never
thought you'd give me both, an' of yer
own accord."
The 1909 Trend.
"The spring publishing season,"
said Arthur Marchmont Brown, the
well-known literary adviser of Chi
cago, "will be remarkable for its Dick
ens trend and its Chinese trend.
"Indeed, this trend in 1912 will be as
pronounced as the trend of 1909." .
"The trend of 1909? What was
that?" the reporter asked.
"Cook books and Pearyodlcals," Mr.
Brown replied.
