One night she slips away and rides to a schoolhouse several miles distant, where a dance is in progress. On the way home she carries on a romantic conversation in the shadowy thickets with the outlawed Harrv Gloster and then rides away at a gallon before Gloster can approach her.

Maybe youU be glad to know that we're going to leave the ranch CHAPTER IX. QUE VIVA LA RUMBA. The fear which drove Joan lasted well-nigh until she had reached the house of Buck Daniels. She entered the house and went through it with the same ghostly silence, and again, as she climbed the stairs, there was not a sound underfoot. But when she opened the door to her room she saw the broad outline of a man's shoulders against the stars beyond her window. It stopped her with a shock of fear, but the gentle voice of Buck Daniels spoke immedi ately. "Yes."' "I'll light the lamp." His voice was perfectly quiet and half of her fear died away until watched his hand as he held the match to the wick of the lamp, for that h; was trembling.

It brought her to her feet, trembling, listening with her soul in her face. "You've been seeing a man!" Buck cried. "Is that it?" Why shouldn't I see a man?" "Who is it?" groaned Buck Daniels n a sort of ecstasy of rage and grief. What's his name?" She shook her head. "When did you first meet him?" he asked at length. "Tonight," she answered. "Don't tell that lie to me!" he thundered. "This gent has turned your head. Want me to think that he did it at one meeting? Talk talk! Lemme hear what you got to say for yourself!" She shook her head, and this denial threw him into such a frenzy that she was almost afraid, for the moment, that he was going to strike her. "What was the song that I heard somebody singing a while ago on the road--the one that made you jump up to listen?" "It's a--a song of happiness, I suppose I may call it," she said at last. "Happiness? Happiness? And in that lingo?" growled Buck. "They don't have no such songs as J*at in that language. You're keeping things back from me, and that makes me know that this is the beginning of the I know things about you that you'll never know, God willing." "And you've tried to keep me here away from peopllo so that I might | never find out?" "That's it." "But now I'll go mad with eager-: ness to learn."

Is there anything wrong with it?" "Not for them. They can do their laughing and their chattering. But you're meant for something else. And I've sworn that I'd keep you to a quiet life--" "Who had the right to make you swear such a thing as that?" "Your mother, Joan." CHAPTER X. THE HAPPY PRISONER. It had been the intention of Lee Haines to leave the town the next morning. And he had been way across the verandah of the hotel after paying his bill when he received news which halted him. A tall, well-proportioned fellow with a very handsome face and black eyes under level black brows was passing, black plaster covered one side of his chin arid the face seemed swollen and discolored. There was a chuckf.e from a chair near by after the young fellow passed. "Young Gainor ain't going to be so darned free-handed after this," rumbled a cow-puncher, cocking his sombrero on the back of his head. "He ain't," agreed his nearest neighbor. "He sure got plenty. Pretty near got a busted jaw, they say. Took him fifteen minutes before he could sit up and ask where he wa There was another laugh. "He swears that somebody sneaked up behind him and hit him with crowbar on the back of his head." "Wasn't no such thing. I seen all. He got soaked so hard that it lifted him off his feet and landed hii on the back of his neck. Lee Haines looked thoughtfully after the retreating back of the who had just passed. He was well above average size. He was solid'Iy built. He might weigh, ,perhaps, a hundred and eighty pounds Lee turned to the cow-puncher* with a question. "Did I heard that straight? Somebody lifted him off his feet and dumped him on the back of his neck?" "Ain't you heard about the fracas?" asked one of the punchers. "I slept late," said Lee. "Gent named Sandy Williams cleaned up John Gainor and six more last night at the dance." "All of seven. It was a mighty pretty thing to watch. Drifted through like quicksilver through sand. All good fiffhting 1 der, he's spent a lot of time" on boxing lot of lesson: "What's Sandy? A giant?1 The two considered the question soberly. He looks bigger than hi said, and the second agreed. Lee Haines recalled the stalwart who had walked into the hotel dining the day before, but who, when he sat down, was hardly higher at the shoulders than Lee himself, called, too, the blows that had dropped Joe Macarthur and left him senseles: bush of curly yellcw hair? he asked. D'you know him?" they asked i chorus. "Hes a stranger aroun these parts." "I've seen him. Seems to be quit They declared fervently that he »s two men rolled into one ,and there followed a graphic description of thi fight. "Which he was laughing all the way through," one declared. "You'd of thought that he was dancing, something like that. Took every thing plumb easy. Floated around and jerked his fists into 'em and every punch was like the tap of a sledge hami "I knew a man once--" began Lee Haines, and then his voice trailed away and his glance was lost in the sweep of a distant cloud. What's heme of Sandy?" "Jail." "Eh?" "Five hundred dollars bail. For disturbing the peace, they say." ' ies forgot the journey which was before him. Instead, he went to the jail, and there he interviewed George, the deputy and jail keeper. How's the patient" he asked. Wants more ham and eggs. It'd bust the county to feed two like him.

United States and Canada London Daily Chronicle (Lib.): It would be folly to ignore the fact that in many respects Canada feels that her material interests as well as her geographical situation bring her closer to the United States than to us. But pride in her own institutions and her separate culture divide her from the United States just as the strong tie of kinship draws her to Britain. But this last is a bond which should be cemented, no less, we believe, to the benefit of the Dominion than the home country, by new blood ties, and the material ties of a flow of population, an augmented trade, and the best possible communications by steamship, telephone, wireless and perhaps, In the near future, airships. Police Traps London Daily News and Westemin-ster (Lib.): Police traps are really as anachronistic as trace-horses. They are survivals from an age when a chanleally propelled vehicle was likely to create a panic in streets still swarming with horse carriages of every kind. Now the development of internal combustion engines made it physically impossible for a motorist to obey the ten-mlle-an-hour speed limit in certain towns. Nc it desirable.
