Let me know it there is any. thing else I can do.” “You are very thoughtful.” “We try to keep that room ready, so that when the folks come down it will be tolerable.” “I'm quite sure it will do,” she said definitely and entered the room. Raymond turned to Louis. “Young- ster, can you shoot?” “Not very well.” “Learn. A man going round this country with a young woman wants to be prepared for war.

After filling it and placing it in her room, he asked: “Now, which bag is yours? I’ll pass that in.” " tight here.” He caught at a sort of frame hung upon the wall. It tell and was transformed into a bunk. “Right here, close beside your door, I’ll put the youngster. I’ll not take much sleep to- night. The boys will need some hot coffee when they come in.” He walked to the door and stood there looking away toward the fire. “I’m afraid they‘ve an all night job of it. The mountain wind is springing up.” “This one. But where are you and Louis to sleep?” “If you really feel that you ought to go“â€"- she began rather feebly. “Would you feel safer if I stayed?” His voice possessed a note of tender- ness as he asked this question. His tall form, outlined in the outer dark- ness, again appealed to her with power. She hesitated. “I never was amongâ€" I mean I have never been separated from my kind in this way before. I am a city dweller, and, I confess. I am a little nervous.” “Thon you’d like me to stay?” he ln- sisted. “Yes. I wlsh you would.” “Then I will do so. I'm sure Barnett will excuse me when he knows"â€" Somethingâ€"a whip. a pistolâ€"snapped far out in the darkness. :1 little slapping sound. a puff of dust rose from Ray- mond's broad breast. and he put his hand to his heart with a quick. inward gasp of pain. "Oh!” "What was that?” asked Ana. Ho swayed back against the door frame. and a yellow white pallor came over his face. “Some one has touched me." he said slowly through his set teeth. "It’s that cowardly hound Speck. Go call your driver. I'm shot." He tried to walk to a chair. but reeled and fell. Raymond partly rose and faced her. Big drops of agony sweat gleamed on his forehead. “It‘s no joke,” he gasped. seeming to divine her feeling. “He’s put it right‘ through, just above my heart. Don’t let me bleed to death," he ended. with guttural harshness. and began to tear at his coat in the eflort to get it off. As he took away his hand and studied his palm, which was red with blood. Ann‘s heart grew sick with horror. Her limbs grew numb and weak. Then, as she watched him tear- ing feebly at his coat, the long dormant woman in her awoke. She ceased to tremble and fell on her knees beside him. "Let me help you,” she said, and her voice was calm and clear, her fingers firm. When his coat was off he sank again exhausted, breathing hard. l\ and then smiled up to her. “I’m all ‘, right. It was a steel jacketed 30-30. 1% It won’t bleed much, and it’s above my : lung. I’ll fool him yet.” Ann‘s first impulse was toward laugh- ter. It was so absurd. so melodramat- ic. so perfoctly impossible. “He is try- ing to frighten us.” she thought. look- ing down at him. but Louis ran out screaming for Watson. “Cutaway my shirt-get at that hole and plug it ” he commanded. “Any- thing that will fill it. You‘ll find some scissors there in that boxâ€"in the win- dow.” His shirt was wet with blood, and yet the girl clipped it away with steady hands. He looked down at the wound Tie driver, wild. of eye and much crumpled of hair, scrambled into the room. “Whodidit? Whodidit?” Ann saw that the driver’s wits were too muddled to permit of proper action. and while her tense nerves quivered she bathed the wound, which was al- ready ceasing to bleed. “Turn me over. cap,” culled Bay- mond. “You’ll find another vent on the other side.” “Never mind who did it. Plug this hole.” commanded Raymond. “Bung some cold water and pour on it.” Louis and the driver turned him gen- fly on his face, and Ann was horrified to find an uglier wound than the other.

Leave her After the driver had helped him to a bed on a blanket Raymond added, “Now I‘ve got to be quiet and wait, that’s all there is about it.” He looked at Ann. "You can go to bed and sleep. Youngster, you’re in for sentinel duty tonight”â€" Ann interrupted him. “You must not talk, not another word! Lie perfectly still. We will keep cool bandages on your wound till the doctor comes.” He submitted to her directions and lay quiet. moving only to allow her to change the compress.

The boy, worn out with his day's ex- citement. struggled manfully to keep awake, but as the night deepened slum- ber rwe about him like a wreath of be- nnmhing'incense. His sense of what had taken place dulled. his head nod- ded and drooped. and at last Ann low- ered him to the floor, where he slept, his ch06 pmowed upon her feet.

Here now she satâ€"Ann Rupert. most conventional of personsâ€"in a rude ranch house, alone with a strange, rough ,man sleeping in a deathlike trance before her. The minutes elongated like bands of rubber, attaining the length of quarter hours, and the night stretched away into horrifying distance as she sat tensely waiting, hoping each moment for deliverance, expecting each instant to hear the swift beating of. boots, the hoarse laughter of the men; but only the wind serpents hissed and the wolf howled. At last immobility became intolera- HAMLIN GARLAND me, and, lowering Louis’ head to the floor, she gently placed his doubled fort of the will bent again above the palm man, so tragic in his supineness, and whispered: anything for you?" He turned his head slowly and with a glance which made her shiver an- swered: “No; I have ceased to bleed. I am going to pull through if my pulse keeps down. Won‘t you take it ?” Timidly taking his brown wrist in her soft finger tips she tried to count the pulsing of his blood. He waited a little time in silence, then said: “It's there. but it's weak. Don’t you feel it?” “Yes; it is more regular now.” she answered. “I’m not going to die,” he continued in a hoarse, flat tone. “I could get up and mount a horse right now, only I’d bleed if. I did. It’s hard to keep quiet, but I’m going to do it. I can’t aflord to die now. You've roused me. There’s something in the world for me to do.” “You inst not talk,” she whispered. “Pleaseâ€"it will do you harm.” She put her hand impulsively on his forehead as it he were a child, and he closed his eyes and lay in silence for CHAPTER V. ona1ongumétbesnencem- mined unbroken except now still suflering?

Her feeling toward him at the mo- ment was like that she manifested to- ward her brother. “I don’t mind, if it helps you,” she answered, but a flush rose to her face. “The boys will come in soon, and then you can go to bed and rest. I’m sorry to trouble you. You can go now. I’m all right,” he said. plied. “You’re mighty good.” he ply. The night wore on interminably. At a little past 3, faint and far, arose the cheerful crowing of a cock. Her heart burned with joyâ€"the morning was near! As she waited the light came and voices, faint and far away, touched her ear, and then slowly, moving in a disorderly squad, the Weary fighters of flames came riding down the slope and across the meadow. The herders did not ride up to the house, as she expected them to do, but turned aside toward the stables, and she could hear them as they dropped their saddles and turned their tired ponies loose. “Surely they will come now.” Then all was still save the crow- ing of the cocks and that sad howling of the wd’lt on the hill. Unable to endure the suspense, she tiptoed across the floor and hurried out toward the corrals, her heart in her throat with fear of the body on the floor. She ran as silently as possible, as if to avoid rousing some fierce ani- mal, and was close upon the men be- fore they saw her. “What’s that?” she heard one quick, keen voice cry out. Then each man rose from the heap of blankets wherein he lay curled like an arctic dog. Ann ‘answered them breathlessly. "Come to the house. quick. Mr. Ray- mond is shot!” “Some one fired out of the darknessâ€" lic was standing in the doorway. I’m all alone. He must have help!” ““‘here’s Watson ’2” “Gone for the doctor.” Shaking loose from his bed, Baker started on the run for the house, but Ann cried out sharply: “Wait! Go quietly. You must not excite him.” And, walking beside him, she returned to the house, and in a sort of daze the other herders silently followed. The jangle of Baker’s big spurs, familiar and penetrating, called Raymond to a knowledge of his surroundings. He turned his head and looked at the men in a way that made them shrink and asked: “How’s the fire? Did you stop it ?” Their responses were like bullets: “Shot! “'110 shot him?” “Noâ€"only your handâ€"it you don’t fiaker replied. “Ya, we got her un- der.” Raymond half closed his eya. “I’m glad you’re here. we lady needs a rat. Somebody did for me. Baker, you and Jones and Shuttle stay here. Perry, you saddle a horse and get Abe and his wife. Mlss Rupert, you go to bed; the boys will look after me now. I can’t let you wear yourself out for But Ann could not so easily be put aside from her plaln duty. “No, I will stay till the doctor comes." to his entreaties, went to her room and threw herself down upon her bed with a sense of having put all her easeâ€" tul, careless girlhood behind her. It was as it she had suddenly been flung lnto a gray and blue: sea far from Louis, who had been roused by the return of the herders and who sat watching their slow and painfully cau- tions handling of the sufferer with the mute, nnemotional gaze of a sleepy kitten, followed his sister into the in- ner room and stood in silence till his bewilderment left him and his per- piexity crystallized into words. Then he said: ‘I shallvndt leave you,” she firmly re- “Jnoiter!

Friend of the ' Bametts, Rob tells me.” â€" Ann must have droooed asleep there- after, for when she woke the horizontal rays of the flaming sun filled the room and the loud and hearty voice of a wo man could be heard out in the kitchen. Her words came distinctly to Ann’s ears. “Now, Rob, you’ve got me to deal with. I’ll cuff your ears if you don’t do as I say. You’ve got to eat to keep your strength up.” Ann rose hastily, but paused before the closed door with a new and singu- do such things. What do you think? lar timidity. The coming of another woman made her own position embar- rassing. With a return of resolution she opened the door and met the big gray eyes of a tall, broad shouldered, slatternly woman, who stood over Ray- mond with a bowl of steaming broth in her hand. She was neither deft nor dainty, but Ann perceived that she was capable and good tempered, a natural nurse, experienced in the ways of the Is he going to die?” "‘1 dBn't” know, laddle.

I’m Mrs. Scribbins, Rob’s nighest neighbor. We come a-runnin’ the moment we heerd of this thing, for Rob's a mighty good man and neighbor." Ann repented and held out her hand. “I'm glad to see you, Mrs. Scribbins. I’m Miss Rupert, and this is my broth- er.” She turned to Louis, who had crept to her side, pale and silent Mrs. Scribbins shook hands, carefully guarding her broth. “I don’t see how you kept Rob down. I’ve had to just about throttle him once or twice since I came. He’s a headstrong cuss and hates being bossed or nussed.” “Has the doctor come?” “Good Lord, no! But I’ve sent Abe up the road.
