Bomo authority over the others. He was loud, assuming and dressed with vulgar pretension. He quickly disposed himself in the chair vacated by Zenobia, and called for |-8ome liquqr.( "I reckon you'll hev to help yourself," said

Rawlins dryly, as tho summons met with no response. "There are only two women in the house, and I i-eckon their bands are full already." "I call it d—d uncivil treatment," said tho man, raising his voice "and Hennicker hod better sing smaller if he don't want his old den pulled down some day. Ho ain't any hotter than men that hev been picked up aforo now." "You ougliter told him that, and mebb« •he'd hev come over with yer," returned Raw. lins. "He's a mild, soft, easy going man, ii Hennicker! Ain't he, Col. Clinch?"

Tho casual mention of Clinch's name pro•duced the effect which tho speaker probably intended. Tho stranger stared at Clinch, who, apparently oblivious of the conversation, was bliaking his cold, gray eyes at the fire. Dropping his aggressive tone to mere qucrulousness, tho man sought the whisky *lemijohn, and helped himself and his companions. Fortified by liquor he returned to the fire. "I reckon you've heard about this yer rob*)ery, colonel," he said, addressing Clinch, with an attempt at eusy familiarity. .Without raising his eyoa from the Are Clinch briefly assented, "I reckon." "I'm up yer examining into it for the express." I: "Lost much!" asked Rawlins. "Not so much ez they might hev. That Ifool Harkins had $10D,3M) in greenbacks It soled up like an ordinary package of $1,000, Wand gave it to a friend, Bill Guthrie, in the bank to pick out some unlikely chap among tho passengers to take charge of it to Reno.

Ho wouldn't trust the express. Ha! ha!" The dead, oppressive silcnce that followed his empty laughter made it seem almost artificial. Rawlins held his breath and looked at Clinch. Hale, with the instincts of a refined, sensitive man, turned hot with the •embarrassment Clinch should have shown. For tbat gentleman, without lifting his eyes from tho (Ire, and with no apparent change In his demeanor, lazily asked: "Ye didn't ketch the name o' that passenigerr "Naturally, no! For when Guthrie hears "what was said agin him ho wouldn't give his name until ho hoard from him." "And what was said agin him!"1 asked Clinch musingly. "What would be said agin a man that give up that sura o' money, like a chaw of tobucco, for the asking! Why, there were but three men, as far ex we kin hear, that did the Job. And there were four passengers inside, t- armed, and the driver and express messenger cn the box. Six were robbed by three!—they were a sweet scented lot! Reckon they must hev felt mighty small, for I hear they got up and skedaddled from the station under the pretext of lookin' for the robbers." He laughed again, and the laugh was noisily repeated by his five companions at the other end of the room.

Haks who had forgotten that the stranger was only echoing apart of his own criticism of eight hours before, was on the point of rising with burning cheeks and angry indigtoation, when the lasily uplifted ere of Clinch caught his, and absolutely held him •down with its paralysing and deadly significance. Murder itself seemed to look from thorn cruelly quiet and remorseless gray pupils. For a moment he forgot his own rage in this glimpse of Clinch's implacable resentment for a moment he felt a thrill of pity for the wretch who had provoked it. He remained motionless and fascinated in his chair the lacy lids closed like a sheath over Clinch's eyes again. Rawlins, who had probably received the same glance of warning, remained equally stflL "They haven't heard the last of it yet, yon bet," continued the infatuated stranger. "Tre gc4 a little statement here for the newspaper," he added, drawing some papers from his pocket "within* I just run off in the coach as I came along. I reckon itH show things up in a new light. It's time there should be some change. All the covin' that's been usually done bn been by the passengers agin the express and stage company. I propose that the company should do a little ctaain' themselves. Seel FVaps you dont mind my raadin' it to ye? Ifti just spicy enough to suit them newspaper chaps." "Go on," said CoL Clinch quietly.

The man cleared his throat, with the preliminary pose of authorship, and his five Crienda. to whom tfes oomposftioa was svi-

a sudden barking of the dogs in the outer Zenobia rose lazily and strode to he window. It relieved Hale of certain mbarroKHing reflections suggested by her I omment. "If it ain't that God-forsaken fool Dick inging up passengers from the snow bound stage in the road! I reckon I've got hin' to say to that!"

But

the later appear

ance of the apologetic Dick, with the assurmce that the party carried a permission from ^her father, granted at the lower# station in •View of such an emergency, checked her acive opposition. "That's like paw," she solilo(Uizcd aggrievcdly "fhuttin' us up and setJ^vin' the dogs on everybody for a week, and then lettiDg the whole stage service pass through one door and out at another. Well, jit's his house and his whisky, and they kin [take it, but they don't get me to help 'em."

They certainly were not a prepossessing or l^ood natured acquisition to the party. Apart from the natural antagonism which, on such occasions, those in possession always feel f"toward the new comer, they were strongly [inclined to Resist the dissatisfied querulousless and aggressive attitude of these fresh ^applicants for hospitality. The most offensive one was a person who appeared to exercise

dently not unfamiliar, assumed anticipatory smiles. "I call it 'Prize Pusillanimous Passengers.' Sort of runs easy off the tongue, you know. 'It now appears that the success of the late stage coach robbery near the summit was largely due to the pusillanimity—not to use a more serious word'"— He stopped and looked explanatorily toward Clinch: "Ye'li see in a minit what I'm gettin' at by that pusillanimity of the passengers themselves. 'It now transpires tbat there were only three robbers who attacked the coach, and that although passengers, driver and express messenger were fully armed and were double the number of their assailants, not a shot was fired. We mean no reflections npon the wellknown courage of Yuba Bill, nor the experience and coolness of Bracy Tibbetts, the courteous express messenger, both of whom have since confessed to have been more than astonished at the Christian and lamblike submission of the insiders. Amusing stories of some laughable yet sickening incidents of the occasion—such as grown men kneeling in the road and offering to strip themselves completely if their lives were only spared of one of the passengers hiding under the seat, and only being dislodged by pulling his coat tails of incredible sums promised, and even offers of menial service for the preservation of their wretched carcasses—are received with the greatest gusto but we we in possession of facts which may lead to more serious accusations. Although one of the passengers is said to have lost a large sum of money intrusted to him, while attempting with barefaced effrontery to establish a rival "carrying" business in one of the express company's own coaches'—I call that a good point" He interrupted himself to allow the unrestrained applause of his own party. "Don't you "It's just h—11," said Clinch, musingly. "'Yet the affair,"' resumed the stranger, from his manuscript, 'is locked up in great and suspicious mystery. The presence of JacksonN. Stanner, esq.' (that's me), 'special detective agent to the company, and his staff in town, is a guaranty that the mystery will bo thoroughly probed.' Hed to put that in to please the company," he again deprecatingly explained. 'We are indebted to this gentleman for the facts.' "The pint you want to make in that article," said Clinch, rising, but still directing his face and his conversation to the fire, "ez far ez I ken see, ez that no three men kin back down six unless they be cowards, or are willing to be backed down." "That's the point what I start from," rejoined Stan nor, "and work up. I leave it to you ef it ain't so." "I can't say ez I agree with you," said the colonel dryly. Ho turned, and still without lifting his eyes walked toward the door of the room which Zenobia had entered. The key was on the inside, but Clinch gently opened the door, removed the key, and closing the door again locked it from his side. Hale and Rawlins felt their hearts beat quickly the others followed Clinch's slow movements and downcast mien with amused curiosity. After locking the other outlet from the room and putting the keys in his pocket, Clinch returned to the fire. For the first time ho lifted his eyes the man nearest him shrank back in terror. "I am the man," he said slowly, taking deliberate breath between his jBentenees, "who gave up those greenbacks to the robbers. I am one of the three passengers you have lampooned in that paper, and these gentlemen beside me are the other two." He stopped and looked around him. "You dont believe that three men can back down six! Well, Til show you how it can be done. More than that, Til show you how one man can do it for, by the living God, if you dont hand over that paper I'll kill you where you sit! I'll give you until I count ten if one of you moves he and you are dead men— but you fi.-st!"

Before he had finished speaking Hale and Rawlins ad both risen, as if in concert, with their weapons drawn. Hale could not tell how or why he had done so, but he was equally conscious, without knowing why, of fixing his eye on one of the other party, and that he should, in the event of an affray, try to kill him. He did not attempt to reason lie only knew that he should do his best to kill that man and perhaps others. "One,n said Clinch, lifting his derringer, '•two—three* "Look here, colonel—I swear I didn't know it was you. Come—d—n it! I say—see here," stammered Stanner, with white cheeks, not daring to glance for aid to his stupefied P»rty"Foui—five—six" "Wait! Here!" He produced the paper and threw it on the floor. "Pick It up and band it to ma. Seven— sight"

Stanner hastily scrambled to his feet, picked up the paper, and handed it to the colonel. "I was only joking, colonel," he said, with a forced laugh.

"Fni glad to hear it Bat as this joke Is In black and white, you wouldn't mind saying so in the same fashion. Take that pen and Ink and write ss I dictate, 'I certify that I

am satisfied that the above statement is abase calumny against the characters of Ring wood Clinch, Robert Rawlins and John Hate, passengers, and that I do hereby apologise to the same.' Sign it. That'll do. Now let the rest of your party sign as witnesses."

They complied without hesitation some, seizing the opportunity of treating the affair as a joke, suggested a drink. "Excuse me," said Clinch quietly, "but ez thfa house aint big enough for me and thai man and ez I've got business at Wild Cat Station with this paper, I think III go without drinkin'." He took the keys from his pocket, unlocked the doors, and taking up his overcoat and rifle turned as if to go.

Rawlins rose to follow him Hale alone hesitated. The rapid occurrences of the last half hour gave him no time for reflection. But he was by no means satisfied of the legality of the last act he had aided and abetted, although he admitted its rude justice, and felt he would have done so again. A fear of this, and an instinct that he might be led into further complications if he continued to identify himself with Clinch and Rawlins the fact that they had professedly abandoned their quest, and that it was really supplanted by the presence of an authorized party whom they had already come in conflict with—all this urged him to remain behind. On the other hand, the apparent desertion of his comrades at the last moment was opposed both to his sense of honor and the liking he had taken to them. But he reflected that he had already shown his active partisanship, that he could be of little service to them at Wild Cat Station, and would be only increasing the distance from his home and above all, an impatient longing fo^ independent action finally decided him. "I think I will stay here," he said to Clinch, "unless you want me."

Clinch cast a swift and meaning glance at the enemy, but looked approval. "Keep your eyes skinned, and you're good for a dozen of 'em," he said, sotto voce, and then turned to Stanner. 'Tm going to take this paper to Wild Cat. If you want to communicate with me hereafter you know where I am to be found, unless"—he smiled grimly— "you'd like to see me outside for a few minutes before I goP' "It is a matter that concerns the stage company, not me," said Stanner, with an attempt to appear at his ease.

Hale accompanied Clinch and Rawlins through the kitchen to the stables. The ostler, Dick, had already returned to the rescue of the snow bound coach. "I shouldn't like to leave many men alone with that crowd," said Clinch, pressing Hale's hand "and I wouldn't have allowed youi staying behind ef I didn't know I could bet my pile on you. Your offerin' to stay just puts a clean finish on it. Look yer, Hale, I didn't cotton much to you at first but ef you ever want ufriend, call on RingwoodClinch." "The same here, old man," said Rawlins, extending his hand as he appeared from hurried conference with the old woman at the woodshed, "and trust to Zeenie to give you a hint ef there's anythin1 underhanded goin' on. So long."

Half inclined to resent this implied suggestion of protection, yet half pleased at the idea of

confidence with the handsome girl he had seen, Hale returned to the room. A whispered discussion among the party ceased on his entering, and an awkward silence followed, which Hale did not attempt to break as he quietly took his

again by the fire.

He was presently confronted by Stanner, who, with an affectation of easy familiarity, crossed over to the hearth. "The old kernel's d—d peppery and high toned when he's got a little more than his reg'lar three fingers o' corn juice, ehf "I must beg you to understand distinctly, Mr. Stanner," said Hale, with a return of his habitual precision of statement, "that I regard any slighting allusion to the gentleman who has just left not only as in exceedingly bad taste coming from you, but very offensive to myself. If you mean to imply that he was under the influence of liquor, It is my duty to undeceive you he was so perfectly in possession of his faculties as to express not only his own but my opinion of your conduct You must also admit that he was discriminating enough to show his objection to your company by leaving it I regret that circumstances do not make it convenient for me to exercise thai privilege but if I am obliged to put up with your presence in this room, I strongly insist that it is not made unendurable with the addition of your conversation."

The effect of this deliberate and passionless declaration was more discomposing to the party than Clinch's fury. Utterly unaccustomed to the ideas and language suddenly confronting them, they were unable to determine whether it was the real expression of the speaker, or whether it was a vague badinage

affectation to which any reply weeld

Involve them In ridicule. In a country ter rorised by practical joking they did no( doubt but that this was anew form of hoaxing calculated to provoke some response thai would constitute them as victims. The immediate effect upon them was that complete silence in regard to himself that Hale desired. They drew together again and conversed in whispers, while Hale, with his eyes fixed on th* fire, gave himself up to somewhat late and useless reflection.

He could scarcely realise his position. For however he might look at it, within a space of twelve hours he had not only changed some of his most cherished opinions, bat he had acted in accordance with that change In away that made it seem almost impossible for him ever to recant. In the interests of law and order he had engaged in an unlawful and disorderly pursuit of criminals, and hed actually come in conflict, not with the criminals, but with the only party apparently authorised to pursue them. Mors than that, he was finding himself committed to a certain sympathy with the criminals Twenty-four hours ago, if any one had told him that he would have condoned an illegal act for its abstract justice, assisted to commit an illegal act for the same purpose, he would have felt himself insulted. That he knew he would not now fed it an insult perplexed him stQl more. In these circumstances the fact that he was separated from his family, and as it were from all his past Hfoand traditions by a chance accident, did not disturb him greatly indeed, he was for the Brat time a Utile doubtful of their probahie qUfclsui on his tnocswistency, and was tor no means in a hurry to subject Mm—If «»a

Lifting his eyes, he was suddenly aware that the door leading to the kitchen was slowly opening. He had thought be heard it creak once or twice during his deliberate reply to Stanner. It was evidently moving now so as to attract his attention, without disturbing the others. It presently opened sufficiently wide to show the face of Zeenie, who, with a gesture of caution toward his companions, beckoned him to join her. He rose carelessly as if going out, and, putting on his hat, entered the kitchen as the retreating figure of the young girl glided lightly toward the stables. She ascended a few open steps as if to a hay loft, but stopped before a low door. Pushing it open, she preceded him into a small room, apparently under the roof, which scarcely'allowed her to stand upright By the light of a stable lantern hanging from a beam he saw that, though poorly furnished, it bore some evidence of feminine taste and habitation. Motioning to the only chair, she seated herself on the edge of the bed, with her hands clasping her knees in her familiar attitude. Her face bore traces of recent agitation, and her eyes were shining with tears. By the closer light of the lantern he was surprised to find it was from laughter. "I reckoned you'd be right lonely down there with tbat Stanner crowd, partickerly after that little speech o' your'n, so I sez to maw Pd get you up yer for a spell. Maw and I heerd you exhort 'em! Maw allowed you wos talkin' a furrin tongue all along, but I—sakee alive!—I hed to hump myself to keep from bustin' into a yell when yer jist drawed them Webster unabridged sentences on 'em." She stopped and rocked backward and forward with a laugh that, subdued by the proximity of the. roof and the fear of being overheard, was by no means unmusical. "I'll tell ye whot got me, though! That part commencing: 'Suckamstances over which I've no controul "Oh, come! I didnt say that," interrupted Hale, laughing. 'Don't make it convenient for me to exercise the privilege of kickin' yer out to that extent,'" she continued

dispense with your room, the least I can say is that it's a d—d sight better than your company'—or suthin' like that! And then the way you minded your stops and let your voice rise and fall jest ez easy ez if you wos a First Reader in large type. Why, the kernel wasn't nowhere. His oussin' didnt come within a mile o' yourn. That Stanner jist turned yaller." "I'm afraid you are laughing at me," said Hale, not knowing whether to be pleased or vexed at the girl's amusement. "I reckon I'm the only one that dare do it, then," said the girl, simply. "The kernel sez the way you turned round after he'd done his cussin', and said yer believed you'd stay and take the responsibility of the whole thing— and did in thatkam, soft, did-anybody-speak-to-me style—was the neatest thing he'd seen ,yet! No! Maw says I aint much on manners, but I know a man when I see him."

For an instant Hale gave himself up to the delicious flattery of unexpected, unintended and apparently uninterested compliment Becoming at last a little embarrassed under the frank curiosity of the girl's dark eyes he changed the subject. "Do you always come up here through tho tftablefV he asked, glaneing round the room, which was evidently hei* own. "I reckon," she answered, half abstractedly. "There's a ladder down thar to maw's room"—pointing to a trap door beside the broad chimney that served as a wall—"but it's handier the other way, and nearer the hosses ef you want to get away quick." 'jr.

This palpable suggestion—borne out by what he remembered of the other domestic details—that the house had been planned with reference to sudden foray or escape reawakened his former uneasy reflections. Zeenie, who had been watching his face, added, "It's no slouch, when b'ar or painters hang round nights and stampede the stock, to be able to swing yourself on to a hoes, whenever you hear a row goin' on outside." "Do you mean that you" "Paw used, and I do now, sense I've come into the room." She pointed to a nondescript garment, half cloak, half habit, hanging on the wall. "Pve been outer bed and on Pitchpine's back as far ez the trail five minutes arter I beard the first bellow."

Hale regarded her with undisguised astonishment There was nothing at all Amazonian or horsey in her manners, nor was there even the robust physical contour that might have been developed through such experiences. On the contrary she seemed to lazily effeminate in body and mind. Heedless of his critical survey of her, she beckoned him to draw his chair nearer, and, looking into his eyes, said: "Whatever possessed you to take to bun tin' men!"

Hale was staggered by tho question, but nevertheless endeavored to explain. But he was surprised to find that his explanation appeared stilted even to himself, and, he could not doubt, was utterly incomprehensible to the girl. She nodded her head, however, and continued: "Then you ha vent anythin' agin' Georgef "I dont know George," said Hale, smiling. "My proceeding was against the highway-

"Well, be was the highwayman." "I mean it was the principle I objected to— a principle that I consider highly dangerous." "Well, he Is the principal, for the others only helped, I reckon," said Zeenie, with a sigh, "and I reckon be is dangerous."

Hale saw it

was«gle«i

to explain. The gfarl

continued: "What made you stay bars instead of goin' on with the kernel! There was suthin' else besides you wanting to make that Stanner take water. What is itP

A light sense of the propinquity of beauty, of her confidence, of their isolation, of the eloquence of her dark eyes, at first tempted Hale to a reply of rfmple gallantry graver consideration of the same circumstances froos It upon Us lips. "I dont know," be returned awkwardly. "Well, HI tell yon," she said. "You didnt cotton to the Kernel and Rawlins moch more than you did to Stanner. They aint your kind*''

In hisembamwsment Hale blundered upon the thought be had honorably avoided. "Suppose," he said, with constrained laugh, *1 bad stayed to see your "1 reckon I aint your kind, neither," A* replied promptly. Thsre was a iiiiaiMitary paow, when Ae roes and walksd to tbecfeln^ ney. It's very jQdst down than,"

stooping and listening over the roughly boarded floor that formed the ceiling of the room below. "I wonder what's going on."

In the belief that this was a delicate hint for his return to the party he had left, Hale rose, but the girl passed him hurriedly, and, opening the door, cast a quick glance into the stable beyond. "Just as I reckoned—Che horses are gone too. They've skedaddled," she said, blankly.

Hale did not reply. In his embarrassment a moment ago the idea of taking an equally sudden departure had flashed upon him. Should be take this as a justification of that impulse, or how? He stood irresolutely gazing at the girl, who turned and began to descend the stairs silently. He followed. When they reached the lower room they found it as they had expected—deserted. "I hope I didnt drive them away," said Hale, with an uneasy look at the troubled face of the girl. "For I really had an idea of going myself a moment ago."

She remained silent, gazing out of the window. Then, turning with a slight shrug of her shoulders, she said, balf defiantly: "What's the U90 noV? Oh, maw! the Stanner crowd has vamosed the ranch, and this yer stranger kalkilates to stay 1"
