LOVES YOUNG Dniznni.
IE next morning-Monday morning-
the young attorney, having no cli-
the. sycamore footlog of Goose Creek and
was soon threading his way toward the
cedar-clad, berry-carpeted glen where

the three or four miles from the creek to
the little romantic glen. The girl was
not there; and the summer sun was soon
as dim to him as a beclouded moon. The
red berries had lost their taste and
fragrance. the sequestered spot all its
beauty and 8. moment or
two the young lover felt ready to throw
himself from some cliff in his bitter dis-

Then love made him crafty. He with-
drew a little way from the glen and sat
down upon an uprooted tree
return for a
second pail of berries? What more nat-
ural than that. if she reciprocated in the
feeling he had for her, she should. like
him, wish to return to the place of their
encounter.
Mart sat for more than an hour wait-
ing and watching. Then unexpectedly
he heard a step, and there in the glen,
as on the day before. he saw his darling.
She stood before him with her back to
im, her glorious, golden-brown hair
gleaming in the sun. dressed in her neat
brown gingham apron and close-fitting,
sky-blue homespun dress. She stood so
close to him, gazing at the distant hills
beyond Kearneyville, that he could not
His thoughts
ran into wild confusion at the considera-
tion that it she should happen to start
picking berries in direction she
would inevitably discover him there in
the attitude of a sneak. ‘
He sat for a long time trying to de-
cide upon a course of action, and when ‘
he looked for her again she was at the
far side of the glen stooplng down in
a graceful pose rapidly picking berries.
e. e rose up and.
making no noise till he emerged from
the sumacs, walked boldly across
open space toward her. Ire thought she
would never turn round and see him. So
he oughed a came forward
smiling, his hat in his hand.
“Mr. Holloway," she said in a voice
meant to be revrovinz and in which there
was a good deal of honest fear for his
safety, “didn't I warn you yesterday it
was dangerous for you to come to Nub-
bin Ridge."
“Something like tlfaii," he laughed un-
easily. “You warned me it was danger-
ous to be caught walking on Sunday
ti 9. married woman; but wnat about
talking on Monday with a. single wom-
an? lsn’t that quite different?’
““'ho told 3' Oh. Mr. Holloway.
have you been mnklng inquiries about
my people‘! Don't you know‘ that is
dangerous for you?"
"I talked to only one person about
you." replied Mart; "that was to Miss
Mabel VVharton,‘1vho works at the hotel
where I stay."
"To her, of all persons murmured the
girl. Mr. Holloway. I‘il have to be
going. Let me beg you not to make in-
quiries about my people of any one. and
especially not to talk about us to Mabel
Wharton."
Rose Peters had decided once for all
could not be positive that he was not a
detective trying for that reward on her
father's head. Yet this thought seemed
surely an
clear-eyed Young man; an
had a sudden impulse to be kind to him.
"But I want to come here sometimes
and meet you and talk with you." said
theyoung man desperately.
“But we ought not to meet and talk
until we have been properly lntroduced
by some common friend," demurred the
W

"But how is that to he." cried lltart.
“when you never come to KearneY‘v'lll9
and Positively forbid me to come to Your
home? I started to drive out to your
house yesterday afternoon. with Miss
lvharton. but I decided that we would
both be unwelcome, and so we drove in
a different direction."
W wen that you did,"
nose Peters under her breath.

merely at the fact that Mart llollown)’
had driven with the other girl. She
could understand now her brother

moment later in a rage. lle paused at
the corner of the courthouse square and
tired his Winchester rifle, then galloped
madly away uil the Sharia road. The
tiring of the gun in the heart of the
village had revived the talk of ori:.'iii-
izcd resistance to lawlessness, and Mon-
day morning Mart had slipped away from
town, par to escape the storm
words that was raging. He did not care
to have it become n that
been fired upon and have to answer A
hundred questions, and he was not at all
sure that Ralph Peters was the man
that had done it.
“V‘Vhy did you say, -‘And well you did?’ "
he asked Rose Peters.
“Because my brother. Rainh. is in love
with Mabel, madly and jealously in love
with her. Ile came home late last night

“It seems that is just the point; he
thinks you are Just trifling with her. I
never saw a person in such a rage as he
was in last night; and worst of all he
told something to m father and oldest
brother, Harvey, last night that put them
in a rape with you and they too have
vowed to kill . . . cannot

together yesterday morning and-and
saw something that took place after you

wouldn't care anything about Ralph's
affair with Mabel."
“You speak of his seeing something
that took place after I turned back,"
said Mart. "“'i'iat something? “'hat

The girl blushed deeply.
“I can't explain," she stammered. “But
