Hale. "And the trail—it may not be passable." "It was passable the day before yesterday," said Kate drearily, "for I discovered it, and went as far as the buck-eyes." "Then it was you who told them about it," said Mrs. Hale reproachfully. "No," said Kate indignantly. "Of course I didn't" She stopped, and, reading tho significance of her speech in tho glistening eyes of her sister, Bhe blushed. Josephino kissed her and said: "It tt«a treating us like Children, Kate, •but wo must make them pay for it hereafter. For that package and letter to John means something, and we shall probably see them before long. I wonder what the letter is about, and what is in tho package?" "Probably ono of Mr. Leo's jokes.

Tito forgotten outer «orld seemed to have l-otinlied to tho house through those open windows and awakened its dwellers from a divatn.

The morning seemed interminable, mul it was past noon, while they were deep in a sympathetic conference with Mrs. Scott, who bad drawn a pathetic word picture of tho two friends perishing in tlie mow,)rift, without flannels, brandy, smelling salts or jelly, which they had forgotten, when they wiro start-led by the loud barking of Spot on the lawn lefore the house. The women looked hurriedly at each other. "They have returned," said Mrs. Hale.

Katu ran to the window. A horseman was approaching the house. A single glance showed her that it was neither Falkner, Leo nor Hale, but a stranger. "Perhaps he brings some news of them," said Mrs. Scott, quickly. So complete had been their preoccupation with the loess of their guests that they could not yot conceive of anything that did not pertain to it.

Tho stranger, who was at onco ushered into tho parlor, was evidently disconcerted by the presence of the three women. "I reckoned to see John Hale year," he began, awkwardly.

A slight look of disappointment passed over their faces. "He has not yet returned," said Mix Hale briefly. "Sho: I waiter know. He's hed time to do it, I reckon," said the stranger.

Well, ez be couldn't find the note that Hale had guv him, and like ez not the road agents had gone through him and got it, ez soon ez the weather let up I made a break over yer to tell ye." "You say Mr. Lee came to your house," repeated Mra. Hale, "and is there now?" "Not much," said the man grimly "and I never said Lee was thar. I mean that Bilson was shot by Lee and kem" "Certainly, Josephine!" said Kate, suddenly

Thompson calmly "you say that the man who brought the note from my brother was shot by Leer "And another fellow call Falkner. Yes, that's about the size of it." "Thank you it's nearly the same story that we heard. But you have had a long ride, Mr. Thompson let me offer you a glass of whisky in the dining room. This way, please."

The door closed upon them none too soon. For Mrs. Hale already felt tlw room whirling around her and sank .back into her chair with an hysterical laugh. Old Mrs. Scott did not move from her seat, but, with her eyes fixed on the door, impatiently waited Kate's return. Neither spoke, but each felt that the young, untried girl was equal to the emergency and would get at the truth.

The sound of Thompson's feet in the hall and the closing of the front door was followed by Kate's reappearance. Her face was still pale, but calm. "Well?" said the two women in a breath. "Well," returned Kate, slowly, "Mr. Lee and Mr. Falkner were undoubtedly the two men who took the paper from John's messenger and brought it here." "You are sure?" said Mrs. Scott. "There can be no mistake, mother." "Then," said Mra Scott, with triumphant feminine logic, "I don't want anything more to satisfy me that they are perfectly innocent!"

More convincing than the most perfect masculine deduction, this single expression of their common nature sent a thrill of sympathy and understanding through each. They cried for a few moments on each other's shoulders. "To think," said Mis. Scott, "what that poor boy must have suffered to havo been obliged to do—that to—to—Bilson—isn't that tho creature's name? I suppose we ought to send over there and inquire after him, with some chicken an Kate. It's only cominon humanity, we must,be just, my

Both tho younger women were silent. Kate ivne thinking of Fnlkner's significant speech as they noaml tho house on their last walk Josephine was recalling the remorscful picture drawn by Lee, which she know was hia own portrait. Suddenly she started. "But John will bo hero soon what are we to tell him? And then that package and that letter." "Don't be in a hurry to toil him anything at present, my child,'' said Mi's. Scott gently. "It is unfortunate this Mr. Thompson called hoiv, but AVO are not obliged to understand what ho says now about John's message, or to connect our visitors with his story. I'm SUIT, Ivnto, I should have treated them exactly a wo did if they hail come without any message from John I' do not know why we should lay any stress on that, or even speak of it The simple fact is that wo have opened our house to two strangers in distress. Your husband," continued Mr. Hale's mother-in-law, "does nU require to know more. As to the letter and package, we will keep that for further consideration. It cannot be of much importance or they would have spoken of it before it is probably some trifling present as a return for your hospitality. I ihould u.se no indecorous haste in having it opened,"

The two women kissed Mrs. Scott with a feeling of relief, and fell back into the monotony of their household duties. It is to bo feared, however, that the absence of their outlawed guests was nearly as dangerous as their presence in the opportunity it afforded for uninterrupted and imaginative reflection. Both Kate and Josephine were at first shocked and wounded by tho discovery of the real character of the two men with whom they had associated so familiarly, but it was co disparagement to tbeir sense of propriety to say that the shock did not last long, and was accompanied with the fascination of danger. This was succeeded by a consciousness of the delicate (lattery implied in their indirect influence over the men who bad undoubtedly risked their lives for the sake of remaining with them. The best woman is not above being touched by the effect of her power over the worst man, and Kate at first allowed herself to think of Falkner in that light But if in her later reflections he suffered as a heroic experience to be forgotten, he gained something as an actus! man to be remembered. Now that the proposed rides from "his friend's house" were a part of the Uluslon, would he ever dare to visit them again?

of these solitudes, and henceforth they alone would be strangers there. They scarcely dared to confess it to each other, but this return to the sunlight and cloudless skies of the past appeared to them to be ono unreal experience they had never known the true wild flavor of their home except in that week of delicious isolation. Without breathing it aloud, they longed for some vague denouement to t.hi« experience that should take them from Eagle's Court forever.

It was noon the next day when the little household beheld the last shred of their illusion vanish like the melting snow in the strong sunlight of John Hale's return. He was accompanied by Col. Clinch and Rawlins, two strangers to the women. Was it fancy or the avenging spirit of their absent "companions! But he, too, looked a stranger, and as the little cavalcade wound its way up the slope he appeared to sit his horse and wear his hat with a certain slouch and absence of his usual restraint that strangely shocked them. Even the old half-condescend-ing, half-punctilious gallantry of his greeting of his wife and family was changed, as he introduced his, companions with a mingling of familiarity and shyness that was new to* him Did Mrs. Hale regret it, or feel a sense of relief in the absence of his usual seignorial formality She only knew that she was grateful for the presence of the strangers, which for the moment postponed a matrimonial confidence from which she shrunk. "Proud to know you," said CoL Clinch, with a sudden outbreak of the antique gallantry of some remote Huguenot ancestor. "My friend, Judge Hale, must be a regular

Roman citizen to leave such a family and such a house at the call of public duty. Eh, Rawlins?"

to know you," said CoL Clinch.

"You bet," said Rawlins, looking from Kate to her sister in undisguised admiration. "And I suppose the duty could not have been a very pleasant one," said Mrs. Hale, timidly, without looking at her husband. "Gad, madam, that's just it,* said the gallant Colonel, seating himself with a comfortable air, and an easy, though by no means disrespectful familiarity. "We went into this fight a little more than a week ago. The only scrimmage we've had has been with the detectives that were on the robbers' track. Hal hal The best people we've rtiet have been the friends of the men we were huniin', and we've generally come to the conclusion to vote tho other ticket!

"The two leaders of the party who robbed the coach," explained Mr. Hale, with a slight return of his usual precision of statement.

The three women looked at each other with a blaze of thanksgiving in their grateful eyes Without comprehending all that Co). Clinch had said, they understood enough to know that their late guests were safo from the pursuit of that party, and that

vtheir

own

conduct was spared criticism. I hardly dare wri.o it, but they instantly assumed the appearanco of aggrieved martyrs, and felt as if they werel "Yes, ladies!" continued tho colonel, inspired by the bright eyes fixed upon him. "Wo haven't taken the road ourselves yet, but —polm honor—wo wouldn't mind doing it in a case like this." Then with, the fluent but. somewhat exaggerated phraseology of a man trained to "stump" speaking, he gave an account of tho robbery and his own connection with it. Ho spoke of the swindling and treachefy which had undoubtedly provoked Falkner lo obtain restitution of his property by an overt act of violence undt-r the leadership of Lee. Ho added that ho had learned since at Wild Cat Station that Harkins hfcd fled tho country, that a suit bad been commenced by the Excelsior Ditch company, and that all available property of Havkins had been seized by the sheriff. "Of course it can't be proved yet, but there's no doubt in my mind that Lee, who is au old friend of Ned Falkner's, got up tbat job to help him, and that Ned's off with tho money by this time—and I'm right glad of it. I can't say ez we've done much toward it, except to keep tumbling in tho way of that detective party of Stanner's, and so throw them off tho trail—ha, ha! The judge hero, I reckon, has had his share of fun, for whilo he was at Hennicker's trying to get some facts from Hennicker's pretty daughter, Stanner tried to get up some sort of vigilance committee of the stage passengers to burn down Hennicker's ranch out of spite, but the judge here steptfcd in and stopped that." "It was really a highhanded proceeding, Josephine, but I managed to check it," said Hale, meeting somewhat consciously the first direct look his wife hnd cast upon him, and falling hack for sup tort on his old manner. "In its way, I think it was worse than the robbery by Lee and Falkner, for it was done la the name of law and order while, as far as I can judge from tho facts, the affair that we were following up was simply a rude and irregular restitution of property that had been morally stolen." "I have no doubt you did quite right, though I don't understand it,"said Mrs. Hale, languidly "but I trust these gentlemen will stay to luncheon, and in the meantime excuse us for mnnning away, as we are short of servants, and Manuel seems to have followed the example of the head of the house and left as, in pursuit of somebody or something."

When the three women had gained the vantage ground of the drawing room, Kate said, earnestly. "As it's all right, faadnt wt better tell him nowf* "Decidedly not, child," said Mrs. Scott, in* twativ*ly, "Do you suppose they are fa a

Irarry to teOosflkefr whole story? Who are those Heanktor people? and they were there a week agof" "And did you notice John's hat when be came in, and the vulgar familiarity of calling him 'jodgef said Mrs. Hale.

Kate. "C^dtrast his manner with 1tr. VUk* ner's." At laoch'vKt the three suffering martyrs finally iucoeeded in reducing Hade and his two Minds to an axtitode of vague apology. But their triumph was short lived. At the end of the meal they were startled by the trampling of licofs without, followed by loud knocking. In another moment the door was opened and Mr. Stanner strode into the room. Hale rose with a look of indignation. "I thought, as Mr. Stanner understood that I had no desire for his company elsewhere, he would hardly venture to intrude upon me in my houses and certainly not after"—— "Ef you're alluding to the Vigilantes shakin' you and Zeenie up at Hennicker's, you can't make me responsible for that. Pm here now on business—you understand—reg'lar business. Ef you want to see the papers yer ken. I suppose you know what a warrant is?" "I know what you are," said Hale hotly, and if you don't leave my house" "Steady, boys," interrupted Stanner, as his live henchmen filed into the halL "There's no backiu' down here, Col. Clinch, unless you and HfU$ kalkilate to back down the state of Califomyj The matter stands like this: There's a halfbreed Mexican, called Manuel, arrested over at the Summit, who swears he saw George Lee and Edward Falkner in this house tho night after the robbery. He says that they were makin' themselves at home here, as if they were among friends, and considerin' the kind of help we've had from Mr. John Hale, it looks ez if it might be true." "It's an infamous liel" said Hale. "It may be true, John,'? Baid Mra. Scott, suddenly stepping in front of her palecheeked dang liters. "A wounded man was brought here out of the storm by his friend, who claimed the shelter of your roof. As your mother I should have been unworthy to stay beneath it and have denied that shelter or withheld it until I kfuar his name and what he was. He stayed here until be could be removed. He left a letter tor you. It will probably tell you if he was the man this person is seeking." "Thank you, mother," said Hale, lifting her hand to his lips quietly "and perhaps you will kindly tell these gentleman that, as your son does not care to know who or what the stranger was, there is no necessity for opening the letter or keeping Mr. Stanner a moment longer." "But you will oblige me, John, by opening it before .these gentlemen," said Mrs. Hale, recovering her voice and color. "Please to follow mo," she said, preceding them to the staircase.

They entered Mr. Hale's room, now restored to its original oondition. On the table lay a letter and a small package. The eyes of Mr. Stanner, a little abashed by the attitude of the two women, fastened upon it and glistened.

Josephine handed her husband the letter. He opened it in breathless silence and read: "John Hale: "We oWe you no return for Voluntarily making yourself a champion of justice and pursuing ns, except it was to offer you a fair field and tg favor.

GEORGE LEE & EDWARD FALKNER." Hale's voice and color changed on reading this last paragraph. He turned quickly toward his wife Kate flew to tho closet, where the muffled boots of Manuel confronted them. "We never knew it. I always suspected something that night," said Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Scott in the same breath. "That's all very well and like George Lee's high falutin'," said Stanner, approaching the table, "but as long oz the greenbacks are hero lie can mako what capital ho likes outer Manuel. Ill trouble you to pass oyer tbat package." "Excuse me," said Hale, "but I believe this is the package taken from Col. Clinch. Is it not?" he added, appealing to the coloneL "It is," said Clinch. "Then take it," said Hale, handing him the package.' "The first restitution is to you, but I believe you will fulfill Leo's instructions as well as mj'self." "But," said Stanner, furiously interposing, "I've a warrant to seize tbat wherever found, and I dare you to disobey tho law." "Mr. Stanner," said Clinch, slowly, "there are ladies present. If you insist upon having t.hnt package I mii^i ask them to withdraw, and I'm afraid you'll find me better prepared to resist a second robbery than I was the first. Your warrant, which was taken out by the express company, is supplanted by civil proceedings taken the day before yesterday against the property of the fugitive swindler Harkins! You should have consulted tho sheriff before you came here."

Stanner saw his mistake. But in the faoes of his grinning followers he was obliged to keep up his bluster. "You shall hear from me again, sir," he said, turning on his heeL "1 beg your pardon," said Clinch grimly, "but do I understand that at last I am to have the honor" '"You shall hear from the company's lawyers sir," said Stanner, turning red, and noisily leaving the room. "And so, my dear ladies," said CoL Clinch, '•you have spent a week with a highwayman. I say a highwayman, for itf wonld be bard to my young friend Falkner 1 that came for his first offense, committed under great provocation, and undoubtedly instigated by Lee, who was an old friend of his, and to whom he came, no doubt, in desperation."

Kate stole a triumphant glance at her lister, who dropped her lids over her glistening eyes. "And this Mr. Lee," she continued more gently," is be really a highwayman?" •-George Lee," said Clinch, settling himself bade oratorically in his chair, "my dear young lady, is a highwayman, but not of the common sort. He is a gentleman born, madam, comes from one of the oldest families of the eastern shore of Maryland. He never mixes himself up with anything but some of the biggest s: rites, and he% an educated man.

I thfafc I may say Pm sere you found him •a" *1 shall never believe him raftfcitigf W a gentleman," said Mrs. Scott firmly.

If be has a defect it is perhaps a too reckless indulgence in draw poker," said the colonel mosinglyi "not unbecoming a gentlemm, nndartsnj me, Mm Scott, bat pertapa too recH— far tisown good. Gepqppfcgred

a grand game, a glittering game, but pardon mo if I say an 'uncertain' game. Pve told him so it's the only point on which we cvor differed." "Then yon know him?" said Mrs. Hale, lifting her soft eyes to the colonel. "I have that honor." "Did his appearance, Josephine," broke in Hale, somewhat ostentatiously, "appear to —er—er—correspond with these qualities! You know what I mean." "He certainly seemed very simple and natural," said Mra Hale, slightly drawing her pretty lips together. "He did not wear his trousers rolled up over his boots in the company of ladies, as you're doing now, nor did he make his first appearance in this house with such a hat as you wore this morning, or I should not have admitted him."

There were a few moments of embarrassing silence. "Do you intend to give that package to Mr. Falkner yourself, colonel?" asked Mrs. Scott. "I shall hand it over to the Excelsior company," said the colonel, "but I shall inform Ned of what I have done." "Then," said Mrs. Scott, "will you kindly take a message from us to him?" "If you wish it." "You will be doing me a great favor, colonel," said Hale, politely.

Whatever the message was, six months later it brought Edward Falkner, the reestablished superintendent of the Excelsior Ditch, to Eagle's Court. As ho and Kate stood again on the plateau, looking toward the distant slopes once more green with verdure, Falkner said:

He and Kate ttood again on the plateau. "Everything here looks as it did the first day I saw it, except your sister." "The pace does not agree with her," said Kate hurriedly. "That is why my brother thinks of leaving it before the winter sets in." "It seems so sad," said Falkner, "for the last words poor George Baid to me, as he left to join his cousin's corps at Richmond, were: •If Pm not. killed, Ned, I hope some day to stand again beside Mrs. Hale at the window in Eagle's Court, and wateh you and Kate coming homei'"
