JIM BLAKEHAM, the most Important of all the cowboys at Red Gulf ranch, was petting ready for the dance at the Gulf schoolhouse. Tou look like a blue-eyed baby," offered Frank Perks. "I am," retorted Jim shortly. "How about the new school teacher --•we can't all dance with her?" "Why try It, then?" was Jim's reply. "If you'd stay home once--only once, and give some of us other fellers a chance," complained another young man mournfully. "Try to keep me home,'* suggested Jim gaily. And It was that remark that started the thing. One by one his companions left the tabic and hurried to the bunkhouse. By the time Jim Blakeham reached his own room, the bunkhouse was empty and his companions were riding off the range. In one swift moving body. "Wonder what'the hurry Is," muttered Jim. pulling off hit clothes, and five minutes later, after a careful search of the place, he understood. His best clothes had completely disappeared. If he went to the dance at the schoolhouse, It would have to be in a suit of working clothes. Jim Blakeham was not angry--he knew it was a mischievous trick they had played upon him. But they couldn't keep him home that way--he cared too much about the new school teacher for she bore the same name as a girl he used to know--Millie Gray. If this was his Millie Gray, perhaps he could discover from her own lips why she had never answered the important letter he had written to her. If this was his Millie Gray, she wouldn't care about his clothes. He got into them, glad that they were clean and that he had a new black tie. When he was finished, from sombrero to polished brown boots, anyone would have had to admit that Jim was good looking. All the windows In the schoolhouse were wide open when Jim arrived.

Mr®.

The voices of his I friends greeted him, and some one started a little applause. Jim bowed gracefully, and the whole thing was getting along splendidly, when some one exclaimed: "Look at the school ma'm--she's fainting!" ^ Jim Blakeham saw big Dick Forfeit awkwaijlly supporting a very fcmall figure--tnere was a cloud of rich red hair tumbling over her shoulder. 'It's Millie--my Millie!" thought Jim as he pushed his way forward, but by the time he reached Dick Forest the girl had been borne away by ministering women. "That spoils your dance with the school teacher," taunted Dick Forest "Believe me. boy, she Is some dancer, too." The next morning all the men went roshing off to a long day's riding, quite forgetting about the new school teacher. Jim Blakeham himself was the only one who actually had her on his mind that morning as he rode toward Red Gulch post office. He had made up his mind that If Millie Gray appeared cold and Indifferent he would not be the one to try to arouse her interest Dreaming thus as his white pony ambled along the trail, Jim suddenly heard a horse's hoofs, and then, turning, saw the girl of his heart riding closely behind him. She did not glance up at his face at first It was only when he whirled his pony out of the trail and gave her a free passage that she looked up gratefully. "Oh, thank you--I was Just a bit afraid of an Indian I met yonderwhy, Jim--Jim Blakeham 1 Is it really you?" She was radiant with delight, and Jim rode up to her. hat in hand. "I didn't believe you'd remember me. Mftlle," he said, contentedly. "Remember you? How ridiculous 1" She blushed warmly, but her blue eyes were dancing with pure delight "Jost imagine, seeing you here!" "Imagine meeting the only girl | ever loved out here in my loneliness," muttered Jim in a low, tense tone. For a moment the girl at hfa&4-- unbelievingly. "Oh, Jim Blakeham, do you really mean that?" she whispered softly. "Ah, Millie Gray, Millie Gray, my heart has ached for you ever since I left Leadenville--I mailed you a letter, and you never answered It, and so, I just pulled stakes and came out here--Is It true--that you care?" He wag holding her hands now, and his hungry eyes asked questions. Millie hung her head. Presently she nodded gently, and added so that only his ear heard In that vast prairie, "Would I be here today. Jim, if I did not? Last spring I read in the paper something about you and the ranch here--and that night I applied for the office of school teacher! I never received your letter-^-and my heart was broken--** "§urely it Is quite all right now, sweetheart?" asked Jim as he took her Into his arms.
