ing restlessly upon her strange bed

fork of the trails, was aroused to
w-akefuiness by the pounding of a
horse's holds on the piank bridge
spanning the creek. She drew aside
rhe curtain and looked out. shading
her eyes to see clearer through the
poor glass. All she perceived was a
somewhat deepe; smudge when the
rider swept rapidly past, horse and
man a shapeless shadow . Three hours
later she awoke again, this time to the
full glare of day. and to the remem
brance that she was now facing a new
life. As she lay there thinking, her
eyes troubled but tearless, far away
on the sun-kissed uplands Hampton
was spurring forward his horse, al
ready peginning to exhibit signs of
weariness.
CHAPTER X.
The Arrival of Miss Spencer.
Miss Phoebe Spencer, the pioneer
school teacher of Giencaid. came di
rect from the far east her starting
point some little junction place hack
in Vermont, although she proudly
named Boston as her home, having
once visited in that metropolis for
threi delicious weekh. She was of an
ardent, impressionable nature. Her
mind was nutured upon eastern con
ceptions of our common country*, her
imag’iiation aglow with weird tales of
the tronrier, and her bright eyes jier
cefvei the vivid coloring of romance
Hi euun pruian ouject west OI the

fereirt from that established life to
which she hud grown accustomed —
the people, the country, the pictur

Teemed with lurid pictures of border
experiences and heroes as to reveal
romantic possibilities everywhere. As
her eager eyes traced the serrated
l«'uks of a snow-clad mountain range,
net neart throldieti with anticipation
u: wonders vet to come. Homesick -
ness was a thing undreamed of: her
active brain responded to each new
impression.
She sat eomfortatWy ensconced in
the back seat of the old. battered red
coach, surrounded by cushions for pro
lection from continual bouncing, as
the .lebu in charge urged his restive
muies down the desolate valley of the
Jtear Water. Her cheeks were flushed,
her widerqien eyes filled with ques
xioning her pale fluffy hair frolicking
with the breeze as pretty a picture of
young womanhood as any one could
wish to see. Nor was she unaware of
this fact During the final stage of
her journey she had found two con
genial souls, sufficiently picturesque
to harmonize with her ideas of wild
western romance.
These two men were lolling in the
leas comfortable seat opposite, secret
ly longing for a quiet smoke outside,
yet neither willing to desert this east

the leather sling, his bare head pro
jecting half out of the open window ,
w-as Jack Moffat, half-owner of the
■'Golden Rule." and enjoying a well
earned reputation as the most ornate
anti artistic liar in the territory. For
two hoars he had been exercising his
taient to the full, and merely paused
now in search of some fresh inspira
tion. holding in supreme and silent
contempt the rather feeble imitations
of his less-gifted com pan ion.
The fly in the ointment of this long
day's ride, the third party, whose on
rather seriously interfered with the ,
latter’s flights of imagination, was Wil- '
Jiam McNeil, foreman of the "Bar V"
ranch over on Sinsiniwa cree a Me-j
Neil was not much of a talker, having
an impediment in his speech, and be
ing a trifle bashful in the presence of!
a iady. But he caught the eye.—a
slenderly built, reckless fellow,
smoothly shaven, with a strong chin
and bright laughing eyes.—and as he
lolled carelessly back in his 1 tears kin
"chaps" and wide-brimmed -sombrero
occasionally throwing in some cool
insinuating comment regarding Mof
fat's recitals, the latter experienced a
strong inclination to heave him over
board. The slight hardening of Mc
Neil's eyes at such moments had thus
tar served, however, as sufficient re
straint. w'hile the unobservant Miss
Siienoer. unaware of the silent due!
thus being conducted in her very pres
ence. divided her undisguised admira
tion. playing havoc with the suscepti
hie heart of each, ami al! unconscious
ly iaying the foundations for future
trouble.
"Why. how truly remarkable!" she'
exclaimed, her cheeks glowing. "It s
all so different from the east : heroism
seems to lie in the very air of this
country, and your adventure was so
very unusual. Iion’t you think so. Mr.
McNeil""
The silent foreman hitched himself
suddenly upright, his face unusual!;
solemn. "Why—eh—yes. miss—you
might—eh—say that. He." with a flip
of his hand toward the other, " eh—re
minds me—of—eh—an old friend.'
"Indeed? How extremely interest
ing!" eagerly scenting a new story.
"Please tel! nte who it was, Mr. Mc
Neil."
"Oh—eh—knew him when 1 was a

Mr. Moffat drew in his head violent
ly. with an exclamation nearly pro
eer." he said, cheerfully. “That's the
spire of the new Presbyterian church
sticking up above the ridge.'’
“Oh. indeed' How glad I am to be
here safe at last’"
“How—eh—did you happen to—eh i
—recognize the church ?" asked Mr.
McNeil with evident admiration.
“You—eh—can't see it from the sa
loon.”
Moffat disdained reply, and the
lurching stage rolled rapidly down the
valley, the mules now lashed into a
wild gallop to the noisy accompani
ment of the driver's whip.
The hoof’s clattered across the nar- ,
row bridge, and. with a sudden swing,
all came to a sharp stand, amid a 1
cloud of dust before a naked yellow :
house.
“Here’s where you get out. miss."
announced the Jehu, leaning down
from his seal to iieer within. “Thi.
yere is the Herndon shebang “
The gentlemen inside assisted Miss
Silencer to descend in safety to the
weed-bordered walk, where she stood
shaking her ruffled plumage into
sha|ie. and giving directions regarding
her luggage. Then the two gentle
men emerged, Moffat trearing a grip
case. a bandbox, and a basket, while
McNeil supported a shawl-strap and a
small trunk. Thus decorated they
meekly followed her lead up the nar- 1
row path toward the from door. The
latter opened suddenly, and Mrs.
Herndon bounced forth with vocifev- .
ous welcome.
“Why, Phoebe Spencer, and have
you really cornel I didn't expect you'd
get along before nexi week. Oh. this
seems too nice to see you again: al
most as good as going home to Yer- j
mom. You must be completely tired
out.’’
“Hear Aunt Lydia: of course I’m
glad to lie here. Btrt I'm not in the j
least tired. I've had such a delightful
trip." She glanced around smilingly .
upon her perspiring cavaliers. "Oh j
put those things down, gentlemen— j
anywhere there on the grass; they :

kind of you both."
“Hey, there 1” sang out the driver, j
growing impatient, "if you two gents j
arf> aimin to go down town with this
outfit, vou'd better be pilin' in lively, ]
ter I can't stay here all day.”

McNeil, only to discover that indi- j
vidual quietly seated on the trunk |
He promptly droppet. his own grip.
"Drive on with your butcher's cart," j
he called out spitefully. “I reckon it's
no special honor to ride to town."

eyes fairly dancing, as the lumbering :
"You Will Promise. Won't You?"
fane, yet ltefore he could speak Miss
Spencer intervened.
"Munchausen! Why. Mr McNeil,
i you surely do not intend to question
the truth of Mr. Moffat's narrative”"
The foreman's eyes twinkled humor
, ously. but the lines of his face re
! niained calmly impassive ‘‘My—eh—
reference." he explained, gravely, "was
' —eh—entirely to the—eh—local color.
! the—eh—expert touches."
"Oh!"
"Yes. miss. It’s—eh—had taste out
here to—eh—doubt anybody's word-—
eh—publicly."
Moffat stirred uneasily, bis hand
flung behind him. bin McNeil was gar
ing into the lady's fair face, appar
; ently unconscious of any other pres
j ence.
“Hut all tiiis time you have not fa
, vored me with any of your own ad
' ventures. Mr. McNeil. I am very sure
you must hswe had hundreds out ca
the*-* wide plains.”
i The somewhat embarrassed foreman
shook his bend discouraging y.
“Oh. but J just know you have, only
j you are sc modest about recounting
them. Now. that scar just under your
hair—really it is not at all unbecom
ing—surely that reveals a story. Was
, it caused by an Indian arrow?"
McNeil crossed his legs, and wiped
j his damp forehead with the hack o: i
1 his hand. "Hoof of a damn pack
! mule," he explained, forgoing him
aelf. “The—eh—cuss lifted me ten
| feet."
Moffat laughed hoarsely, hut as the
i foreman straightened up quickly, the
amazed girl joined happily in. and his
own face ini nan tty exhibited the con
tagion. i
“Ain’t much—eh—ever happens out
an a ranch.” lie said, doubtfully, “ex
cept dorigin steers, and—eh—bustin'
broncoes.”

the window muse more. In an apparent
to ignore all further
.coach disaptteared through the red
dust.
■‘How very nice of you to remain."
she exclaimed. "Aunt Lydia, I am so
anxious for you to meet my friends,
Mr. Moffat and Mr. McNeil. They
have iteen so thoughtful and entertain
ing all the way up the Bear Water,
and they explained so many things
that I did not understand."
She swept impulsively down toward
them, both hands extended, the bright
glances of her eyes bestowed impar
tially.
“I cannot invite you to came into
the house now." she exclaimed, sweet-!
iy. "for I am almcet like a stranger
here myself, but J do hope you will
both of you call I shall be so very
lonely at first, and you are my earliest
acquaintances. You will promise,
won't you?"
McNeil bowed, painfully clearing
has throat, but Moffat succeeded in
expressing his pleasure with a weli
ronnded sentence.
•'I felt sure you would. Bm now I
must really say good-by for this time
and go in with Aunt Lydia. I know 1
must be getting horribly burned out
here in this b.ot sun. 3 shall always
be so grateful to you both."
And the two radiant knights walked
together toward the road, neither
uttering a word.
CHAPTER XL
Eccommg Acquainted.
Once within the cooi shadows of the
living-room. Sirs. Herndon again be
thought herself to kiss her niece in a
fresh glow of welcome, whilp the lai
ter sank into a convenient rocket and
began enthusiastically expressing her
unbounded en joyment tif the west, and
of the impressions gathered during
her journey. Suddenly the elder wont
an glanced about and exclaimed,
laughingly. "Why. 1 had completely
forgotten. You have not yet met your
room-male. Come out here, Xaida:
this is my niece, Phoebe Spencer.”
The girl thus addressed advanced,
a slende1.*, graceful figure dressed in
white, and extended her hand shyly.
Miss Spencer clasped it warmly, her
eyes upon the flushed, winsome face.
"And is thte Naida Gillis!” she
cried. ”1 am so delighted that you
are still here, and that we are to be
together. Aunt Lydia has written so
much about you that 1 feel as if we
must have known each other for
years. 'Why. how pretty you are!"
Naida‘s cheeks were burning, and j
her eyes fell, but site had never yet
succeeded in conquering the blunt in
de]>endence of her speech. ' Nobody
else ever says so." Bhe said, uneasily.
“Perhaps it's the light."
Miss Bneneer turned her about bo
as to face the window "Well, yon
are." she announced, decisively. "I I
guess I know: you’ve got magnificent
hair, anti your eyes are perfectly won- j
rierful. You just don’t fix yourself up !
right: Aunt Lydia never did have any j
taste in such things, but I’ll make a
new girl out of you. Let’s go upstairs:
I'm simply dying to see our room, and
get some of my drttsses unpacked.
They must look j ter feet frights by this
time."
They came down perhaps an hour
later, hand in hand, and chattering
like old friends The shades of earjy
evening were already falling across j
the valley. Herndon had returned
home fTtmi his day's work, and had
brought with him Hew Howard Wyn
koop fot supper. Miss Sj»ence: viewed
the young man with approval, and im
mediately became more than usually
vivacious in recounting the incidents I
of her long journey, together with her
early impressions of the western coun
try. Mr. Wvnkoop responded with an
interest far from being assumed.
“I have found it all so strange, so
unique. Mr. Wynkoop,” Bhe explained.
"The country is like a new world to
me. and the people do not seem at all
like those of the east. They lead such
a wild, untrammeled life. Everything
about stjems to exhale the spirit of ro
mance; don't you find it so""
He smiled at her enthusiasm, his
glance of undisguised admiration on
her* lace. “3 certainly recall some such
earlier conception.’’ he admitted.
“Those just arriving from the environ- ;
ment of an older civilization perceive
merely the picturesque elements; but
my iater experiences have been de
cidedly prosaic.”
“Why. Mr. Wvnkoop’ how could '
they be? Your work is heroic. It is !
jterfectly grand! Why, the very men |
I met seem to yield me a broader con- j
eeption of life and duty; they are so j
brave, so modest, so active. Is—is j
Mr. Moffat a member of your church?” j
The minister cleared his throat, his i
cheeks reddening. “Mr. Moffat" Ah, J
no: not exactly. Do you mean the ■
mine-owner, .lack Moffat"”
“Yes, 1 think so; he told me he j
owned a mine—the Golden Rule the
name was. the very choice in words j
would seem to indicate his religious i
nature. You have tlte only church in i
Glencaid. I understand, and 1 wonder
greatly he has never joined you. But ;
Ijerhaps he may be prejudiced against
your denomination. There is so much
narrowness in religion. But I left
every prejudice east of the Missouri."
she declared, laughingly, "every one.
social and religious. I'm going to be
a true westerner, from the top of my
head to the toe of my shoe. Is Mr.
McNeil in your church?"
The minister hesitated. “I really do
not recall the name. ” he confessed at
last, reluctantly. “I scarcely think I
can have ever met the gentleman.”

HIS TURN, TO CRITICISE.
... A. .1 ■
Youngster Felt Called on to Manifest
Disapproval of Prayer.
Little John. who. at the mature age
— four, has learned the Lord's Prayer,
is often criticised by his sister, two
vears older, for slight mis taker; which
he cannot always avoid in offering the
petition. A few Sundays ago he was
taken to church for the firs! time.
When the moment for the prayer ar
rived and the congregation bowed
their heads John's mother took the
precaution to whisper to him that he
must be very quiet. “Listen.' she
said, ‘'and von will heat the minister
pray.” ThiE interested John at once,
and his little lace took on a look of
serious attention, but hiF mother,
watching him covertly, saw his ex
pression change presently to one of
surprise and disapproval. A few min
utes more, and he could stand it no
longer. What could this man be say
ing? Not a word of the prayer did
he recognize as the only formula he
had ever heard called by that name.
“Why. mother," he exclaimed, in a
tone audible over nearly half the
church, “do you hear? He isn't say
ing it right at all'"

Weeks by Cuticura.
“After having the measles my whole
head and neck were covered with scaly
sores about as large as a penny They
were just as thick as they could tie.
My hair all came out. I let the trou
ble run along, taking the doctor's blood
remedies and rubbing on salve, but it
did not seem to get any better. It
stayed that way for about six months:
then I got a set of the Cuticura Reme
