The man ate hungrily, and finished with a surly "Thank you.” "Which way are you going?” •West.” ‘‘We'll take yo' weepon. an' watch ye a piece out on the track. Shack, you keep an eye an’ a gun on him till he gits to the turn. Ye needn't come back fur another meal o’ victuals," she continued to the fellow. "If ye do. ye'll find more'n one gun p’inted yore way. Skedaddle!” “He's ben lavin' round the town fur weeks, that cuss has; but I missed him yisterday,” Shack said as the man started off slowly. "Thought he’d lit out.” Esther watched him with mingled aversion and pity; but Sally B. was al ready in conference with one of the railroad office boys that “lettered well," getting out a "Warning!" to be posted on one of the town's bulletin si aces. Whatever the reprobate might next undertake could not be done there. The town kept open eyes by night as well as by day. The iron train was two hours late, and the desert day so alluring that Esther decided to ride as usual. Im mediately after the noon dinner her mount was brought to the door; but her kindly knight was missing. This was not alarming. His memory often failed him in the daily routine, when be saddled his horse and wandered alone in the hills hunting for "color,” but always returned safe; and on such occasions Esther patiently went without her ride. But to-day she was disappointed. She wanted to get away from the memory of the morning. "Had any me seen him go?” she asked. And Shack, hearing her ques tion. told her that “Bill had saddled not a quarter hour ago, an' lit out west down the track.” "1 can overtake him, then," she said to Sally B. as she mounted. "I don't like ter see ye start off aione,” Sally B. said; yet she was too fearless herself to suspect danger; and her protest was perfunctory. "I’ll find .Mr. Bernard shortly; don’t worry about me." "Look out for that there breakfast guest of our'n. If you met up with him. he might take a shine to you, or yore mare.” My lungs are gooa. Ana section men are too plenty and Swift's heels too nimble for any man on foot to hurt me," Esther replied nonchalantly. "Besides, he'll be far toward Wells by this time. That's his first chance for supper.” It was good to be out in the open ^ tliis perfect day. to be alone. She kept on the lookout for her cavalier, expecting momentarily to overtake him. Presently she spied him climbing a high hillside to the north. It looked hot and breathless over there. She knew the succession of ridge and hol low in that direction. No wide, level spaces for gall< , s, no open vistas. She would have this one long afternoon to herself, listen for voices that spoke only to the solitary ear. She rode slowly, making subconscious notes of the smooth, trodden path beside ti e track, at ] laces where she would give the mare her head when return ing in the cooler afternoon. A patch of brilliant desert flowers in a small nook where the melting snow had been gathered and held caught her caprici jus eye. She would be hid den from the town here, yet not far from the track and passing trackmen. It would be quite safe. Dismounting, she gathered a great hunch of the sun coioivd blossoms, and tucked them in I bat and habit front. She uncoiled the Mexican hair rope front beneath her saddle flap; and, giving Swift 40 feet of freedom, sat down, back to the track, to memories and day dreams— day dreams that purloined time un heeded, till the iron train thundered past. Eyes that caught the vi.- ion of beau ty in horse at rid°r silhouetted f against the gray hillside ligniei with sudden appreciation; and one pair flamed up curiou-iv watched eagerly till the vision va : he l. then gloomed above set teeth a:; ’ leached hands. Esther remou.. “ and resumed her ride, still slow \ The mood for a speed had not come. A short distance farther on she came to a deep, curving cut. Instantly on entering an uncan ny sensation possessed her, a presenti ment of danger. Yet she derided her self. and touched Swift to a lope. Had not the train just passed? What menace could arrive in ten minutes? Along the banks were a few cave like depressions cut for some purpose by the graders. As Esther rounded the curve a fleeting glimpse of a horse man coming toward the cut from the other end was interrupted by the voice of a man who sprang from one of the little holes and caught her bridle rein. “I'll trouble you for that sparkler, miss; and don't take too much time getting off your glove. Keep them ruby lips shut, too, I might add by way of friendly advice." Esther was looking into the barrel of a pistol held by the man she had that morning served with coffee. It i was not courage that came quicker than reason to her; rather, a swift , anger that this creature should pre sume to molest her. "How dare you?" she cried fearless ly. striking the hand on her bridle a stinging blow with her whip. In the instant of surprise and pain that made him release her, she whirled the mare on two feet and was off. Three shots rang out behind her. 9 He Was Pale, Hatless anc* Coatless. She heard the whizz of a bullet peril ously near, yet. raced wildly on. every sense alert to keep her horse's feet from pitfalls. No sounds followed her. She knew the man would not dare show himself, would probably hide from the other rider if possible; and the mare was putting the miles behind her in marvelously few min utes. Esther began to breathe more free | ly. Near the town she slowed to a | walk and looked back. Neither mis 1 cream nor horseman could be seen. ■ She stopped to put herself to rights. | Her heart was beating fast, yet as j much from the rapid riding as from | fear, she told herself. All had hap I pened so quickly, it now scarcely ; seemed real. Dread of making a scene was stronger than fear for what hac passed; and it nerved her to ride quiet ly up to the hotel. Sally B. met her at the door in great excitement. ‘ Mrs. Gregory an' Mrs. Harmon both telegtaphed you ; to come on an’ see the show termorrer. 1 been hopin' ye'd fly in ’fore the train | left. I got yer things all packed!" The train stood on the track less than a stone's throw distant, its time just up. The conductor came forward as Esther dismounted. ’Will you go. Miss Anthony? i'il i hold her ten minutes for you.” ‘ Thank you. Yes, I'll go. Five min | utes will do.” With Sa;ly B.'s help she changed to ' another gown and sued downstairs. ■'You're lightning, sure!” the con ductor said with respectful approval, as he took her bags, helped her into the high boxcar, made her as comtort | able as he could, and went about his | train work. Following a half-hour behind the , iron train, the little engine struggled 1 noisily along for a time, dragging its I string of loaded cars, when it came ! to a sudden halt on a mountain side i grade. Around a curve and just be 1 yond, the track left the mountain and i crossed a gorge over a trestle. The forward brakeman came running hack wdh blan^i.ea lace and a ghastly mes sage. ' The trestle s gone down! the iron •■ait's wrecked and piled up down ' there!” he finish?h pointing with a ■ rumbling finger . : ward. CHAPTER XXXI. Ambrosia in Arcadia. Passengers and trainmen went for ward to investigate. Left alone, Esther leaned far out of the door and peered forward, but could see nothing of them. In front the train curved out of sight around the shoulder of the mountain. An undulating sweep of white sand and gray sage brush stretched on either side to the hori zon—that was all. Breathless and ap prehensive. she waited. She could hear the steady hiss of escaping steam, an occasional shout far beyond; for the rest, desert silence. It was late in the afternoon, yet the sand reflected the heat in pulsing waves, burning her cheek. She climbed down after a little and walked forward, meeting one of the brake men. "Go back. Miss Anthony! It's no place for you—it's not—” "Oh, what is it?” she interrupted anxiously. "Is any one hurt? Can't I help?” “No; not now. anyway. No one can help one poor fellow; he's passed in his checks. Were trying to dig the other out before he dies.” Esther felt faini, yet kept pace with his hurrying steps. "Miss Anthony, won't you please go into that car next? It's rough, but we'll need this for—for—” They were beside the rear car now. "Yes, yes, I will—I know. But can't I do something? Won't you—” "No, you can help most by staying right here—the conductor said so But it may be hours—you'll roast in the car—” “Never mind me. Don't wait—I'll manage.” He passed her and hurried into the car. In a moment he ran by again with blankets, a basin, and a bucket of water. The car he had designated was partly filled with a great pile of cah bages, and looked rather impossible. Esther sat down on the end of a tie in the shade of the train and waited. Resourceful and efficient, the worn an's part was especially distasteful to her. Yet here obedience was evident ly the best service. Still, the hours were long. But while the sky was yet red. wel come voices broke the spell. Four men canto around the curve, holding carefully by the corners a blanket litter supporting a torn, bleeding form. Esther stepped between the cars, and with averted eyes waited for them to pass. With gentlest care they lifted him into the car. The sufferer moaned unconscious' . and Esther tried to be lieve that he knew nothing of his pain. Four more men appeared with a laden blanket; this was a winding-sheet. The men spoke no word, and were uncov ered. Their burden, too, they bore on to the last car. Three more followed, one walking feebly, supported by the others, the conductor and brakeman of the supply train. He w-as pale, hat less and coatless, with a scarlet stain on neck and collar. Yet he was con scious, speaking freely. ' Don't mind me," tie was saying. “Alfred!” Esther sprang toward the trio, and caught one limp hand swinging by his side. He straightened with sudden vigor; a wave of color warmed his pale cheek. "Stella! Stella!" he repeated, and stood still, gazing at her. “Put him in here!" she cried, now awake, and ready for action.’ “I'll take care of Mr. Vincent—make him comfortable.” ' I'm not hurt," Aifred interrupted, "it's scarcely a scratch! I must help the boys in the other car. They—” The conductor interposed. "Obey orders, Vincent. You're used up. We've help enough in there. You've done your part.” The two men, not heeding his pro test, lifted him into the cabbage-car. “Now, Miss Anthony, let me help you in.” “No, not now, thank you. I've something to do first. You're not ready to start, are you?” "No, it will be a half-hour anyway; we must make one more trip to the wreck.” "1 can get in by myself. Don't think about me." Even the conductor, accustomed to command, yielded to the finality in her voice, and hurried on. "Can you sit against the car side a few minutes, Alfred? You wont taint?" "Faint?” he scouted. “Indeed, no. But where are you going? Don't leave me, Stella!" he called a little wildlv as she stenned back a 11ace. Perplexities, embarrassments, were forgotten, in this solemn moment of tragedy they resumed their old rela tions, unquestioning. “I'll be back in a minute. Here! You may keep this for me!” She tossed him her hat. “A hat is a pretty sure anchor for a woman, isn't it?” she said, smiling up ar him. and was out of sight around the end of the train. She could not help the gayety in her voice. The world was alive once more. Life was beautiful in spite of the grewsome sights in the car be yond. Since she could do nothing for them she would not think of them. Alfred was here; hurt, yes, but not unto death, not even to great pain. For one little moment she would self ishly hug her joy. Down ;n a little swale, just before they had halted, she had noticed the bunch grass growing long and rank. She flew at it. tore it up. handful by handful, till she had a high pile, which she gathered in her arms and carried to the car. Pitching it in, she was oft again, heedless of Alfred's protest. Three times she made the short jour nev, pausing at the door after the third load to catch her breath. “Aren't you coming in this time? You must let me help you," he said, partly rising, but falling back. “No, no! Don't move! You aren't able to; and if you do I won’t come!” she replied emphatically, though her face was shining. “Turn your head away, and don't look till I say 'Here!’ ” "I can't turn away from you, Stel la! " he said whimsically, yet tender ly: and her eyes dropped. Still, she did not move. “Oh. come, dearest, won't you? Don't wait so long. I'll—I'll turn— My true love sent me a letter to turn back my head.’ Did you ever play 'Green Gravel' when you were a little tad? My head is 'turned back.'” Esther never knew how- she man aged the climb through the great, gaping door, yards above the sloping ground; still, she was there, standing before him. He spoke no word, but gazed up into her tender, bending face. Light speech that had bridged the first tense moments was impossible now-. Pain, misunderstanding, pride, prudence, even the years, fled. She loved him, loved him! Nothing else counted. “Lean down, Stella, sweetheart!” he whispered at last, his eyes draw ing her with his words. She knelt beside him. The long separation melted into the land of the un remembered. The engine whistle startled them shortly, and a brakeman came with a blanket for Alfred, his coat, ami Esther's bags and cloak. (TO BE CONTINUED.) IS LUNCH WAGON A HOUSE Question That Agitates Montclair— Women Threaten to Burn It. Montclair, N. J.—The women of up per Montclair are up in arms over the establishment of a lunch wagon in that exclusive section of the town, and threats have been made by some of them to burn the vehicle if it is not removed. The matter came up in court, when the proprietor of the wagon, Thomas Amend, was Sound guilty in Recorder Yost's court of violating the building laws in placing the wagon on Valley road. Recorder Test deferred sen tence. The case, however, will be carried ! to the higher courts, 'as was done j when Amend was found guilty on a similar charge several months ago. when he purchased a plot for f2.F,00 on Bloomfield avenue and placed thereon a lunch wagon.

Harold's mother—we'll call him Har old—went abroad a month ago, leav ing Harold under the somewhat un substantial control of his elder sisters. In spite of the itemized directions with which even unto the moment of final leave-taking she had not ceased 1 to bombrrd him. Harold's mother was far from sure that her efforts would j have any lasting effect. Her voyage was more or less dis turbed by these doubts, but before she landed on the other side she had determined on a course of action. Like all small boys, Harold is most cov etous of picture postcards and had looked forward to a harvest from' his mother's trip. He got it. Every day she sent at least one card. And whatever else it bore in the way of inscription, there was not one which failed of this introduction: “Just as soon as you get this go and brush your teeth.” DEEP CRACKS FROM ECZEMA Could Lay Slate-Pencil in One—Hands in Dreadful State—Permanent Curt- in Cuticura. “I had eczema on my hands for about seven years and during that time I had used several so-called rem edies, together with physicians' and druggists’ prescriptions. The disease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. I kept using remedy after remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none relieved as much as did the first box of Cuti rura Ointment. I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one rake of Cuticura Soap wer? used. W. H.
