She vaa In front—a pretty, laughing, pout ing damsel with a wealth of copper colored hair and a pair of tantalizing, mischief-making eyes. He sat at the back, gloomy In face and In mood. For him the course of true lore ran anything but smooth. He had known her for years—had been her school companion, In fact, had been her devoted jdave since the very first day they had met. He remem bered that day very well. He had bought a whole cake of chocolate, and he loved chocolate dearly. It was his first hard struggle with self, but he conquered, and after a long last look and a sigh he offered her the whole cake. And she—she took It all with a smile and ate It without offering him as much as a bite. He looked back at their lives since, and felt that that chocolate Incident had been constantly repeated ever since. He had given and she had ac cepted—still with a smile 'tls true, but smiles did not content him now. They were so ready, and she gave them so freely to others. He meant to have everything or nothing. As he sat behind on that tandem and admired her bright hair and caught a glimpse of her dainty pro file every now and then, he made up Ills mind to put an end to his sufferings one way or another that evening. He burled himself In thought for some long time, and then a bright Idea oc curred to him. Ilut his long silence evidently seemed to Irritate the front rider. "How dull you are today, Jack," she said Impatiently. "You haven't said H word for the last quarter of an hour. Pon’t you think It is about time wo timed back?" "What are you In such a hurry about?" asked Jack. The girl laughed a bit consciously. "Well, I promised that I would get homo before 7 o'clock, and—and It’s very particular," she added, with a pout. "Mr. Seymour coming round prob ably," said Jack. "Mr. Seymour seems to be coming round a good bit lately, doesn't he? Hut, Clare, I’m awfully sorry, but I don’t think you will got homo In time tonight." "What do you mean?” said Clare quickly. “Well, to tell you the truth I don’t know exactly where we are." "Don’t you know where we are," echoed the girl angrily. "Don’t be ab surd. Do you mean to say you have brought me out and have been stupid enough to lose the way?" "That’s about the whole size of the matter," said Jack, cheerfully. "Well, you’ll have to find the way, that’s all about It," said pretty Clare, vindictively. "And I’ll tell you plainly CLUNG TO HIM IN TERROR. .hat I shan’t place myself In a similar predicament In a hurry. Mr. Seymour wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing." "Good gracious! No!’’ laughed Jack. "Fancy seeing Seymour on a tandem." "He Is a gentleman If he Is nothing else," snapped Clare. "Well, I hope so,” replied Jack. "He’s got nothing else to recommend him. Well, we won’t discuss old Seymour. The thing Is to find the way. Now Jump off and we’ll have a look about us.” They slowed up to where two roads met and Clare did as she was bidden. There was no sign-post, and Jack seemed profoundly puzzled. "I think," he said, after a bit, "we’ll leave the tandem here nnd go and ex plore a bit. I'll take the road to the left and you the one to the right, and we’ll meet again In this spot." “Oh, no! no! no! Jack,” said Cairo, looking round her nervously. "Its get- | ting so dark and I'm afraid. I couldn't go down that long, dark lane." “Well, you stay here and HI have a look round.

Clare taught her breath la with a gaep. "Anything! anything!” she said tearfully; "only get me home." "And If I don't," went on Jack, "people will think we have eloped, and —well It would be ever so romantic. We could-" "How dare you?" said Clare Indig nantly, "I'll never-never speak to you again unless you get me home before 10 o’clock." "Right you are,” said Jack. “And now Jump up and we’ll go and seek our fortunes." The two mounted the tandem once more. Jack took the turning to the right, and for some time they rode on without speaking. At last something seemed to strike Clare .and she looked round wondering." "Jack, what are you doing?" she said. “I)ou you know we have been going round and round the same roads for ever so long?" "Nonsense,” said Jack gruffly. "We have left ‘Cut-throat Corner’ miles be hind us. Have you any Idea where we are?" "Not yet," replied Clare. "Hut, wait. Yes of course. Why, look! there’s the old church, and there to the right Is the schoolhouse. Jack, I believe you have been deceiving me." "Well, and what If I have?" said Jack stoutly. "Haven't you deceived me times without number?" "I’ll never speak to you again— never!" said Clare with determina tion In her voice. "Hut you’re not homo yet, remem ber," said Jack. "A promise Is a promise, Clare," he pleaded. “And you are fond of me; you can’t deny It; only you llko to torment mo to do some thing desperate. l)o you want mo to take you back to ‘Cut-throat Corner' and leave you?" "Yes, you’d better," pouted Clare, gaining courage as she approached scenes familiar. "I mean It," said Jack. Clare sighed and shed a tear and then gave In. "It Is mean of you to take advantage of me like this," she said at last. "Hut I suppose I deserve It, and If you like to have such a horrid, selfish wife well, I suppose you can have her. but I dare say you'll repent your bargain before many months are out.” "Shall I!" shouted Jack triumphant ly. "Hurrah! What’ll old Seymour say?" WOULD NOT LOSE HER VOTE. Kill her Tnnn I»o Bo mi Idaho Woman IJrovo Ulxty Milo* In the Cold. Mrs. B. F. Jeffers of Halley, Idaho, believes firmly that when the state conferred upon her the right of suf frage the commonwealth was Justified in expecting that she would exercise that right to tho full. Mrs, Jeffers owns a ranch at Soldier, and has tdiown on many occasions while suc cessfully managing that property that she Is not one to shirk her responsibil ities, be they those of citizenship or otherwise. It was not to be expected, therefore, that any ordinary obstacle would Interfere with her announced determination to vote at, the recent election, but even those who knew her best were hardly prepared for the dis play of pluck which she gave on the second Tuesday of last month. Mrs. Jeffers had registered at Soldier, where her ranch U located, but subsequently removed to Halley, thirty miles away, taking a legal transfer to the latter place, but forgetting to record it. Shortly before noon on election day she went to tho polls at Hailey, but found that she could not vote without authorization from Boldler. Nothing daunted, she secured a team of horses and started for the latter place, an nouncing her Intention to be back be fore the polls closed in the evening. The horses were speedy and of great endurance, and Mrs. Jeffers reached Soldier within the time which she al lowed herself. Giving orders for a fresh team, she proceeded to secure tho necessary documents. These in her possession, she started on her re turn Journey. The trip from Halley had not been particularly comfortable, although the bright sun of early after noon had tempered a cold wind which blew across the high prairie. This advantage had disappeared when the plucky woman took the reins to start back, and several friends urged her to abandon the trip and stuy at the ranch ov’er night. Mrs. Jeffers laugh ed at the advice, faced the cutting blast and proceeded on her return trip, but It was a cold and cheerless Journey, but Mrs, Jeffers reached .Hall ey In time to vote, though her lingers were ho benumbed that she was barely able to mark her ballot.
