She was awakened as before, by the sound of the little cot- fee mill, but she did not rise as prompt- by“ .â€"â€"â€"â€", w _ h as on the first morning and was still dozing when Nora appeared with a piece of corn cake and a cup of coffee. ” You feel tired this morning, I know. Well, now, take your breakfast in vâ€"- Ann was conscious smitten. “No. no! You poor. dear thing! I am ashamed to have you waiting on me.” “It’s so littleâ€"a mere step or two.“ “Yes, but you have so many steps. After this I forbid you doing anything of this kind for me, and I’ve been thinking why can’t we hire a China- man to work for us? Unless I can do something to relieve you 1 will not stay. You are tired. I wish you would ask Mr. Raymond to find us a helper today!‘ -Vwâ€" v “Hello. sis!” shouted Louis. “Aren‘t you up yet? You‘ll never make a min- er.” Here he poked his head in at the door. “Jupiter, wasn‘t yesterday an exciting day? It makes me sick to think I didn’t go down to Bozle with you. Rob has been telling me about Matt’s shielding the sheriff. It must have been great. I was out on the hillside. We all thought the sheriff hillside. We all thought the shvritt’ was coming up that way, but he didn‘t. He turned back and went into camp, and last night Jack went down and hitched into him. and they had a pitched into him. and they mm a battle.” “They did? Was any one killed?” ‘6Te1‘ 9) ‘ \‘orug u.sped “Merciful powers!” “So Perry says. Our side won.” Ann frowned. “Our side!

She was turning to go when he stop- ped her. and his tone was hard and dry. "You were in Bozle yesterday with Raymond. Don't do that again. When you want an escort let me know. I'll send a man that knows enough not to take :1 lady into danger and who has ‘savvy’ enough to keep his horses for the return trip.” “Thank you. You are very kind. but I’m not in need of additional protec- tion." Ann icily replied. “Goodby till tomorrow,” he called after her in mockery, his voice as mu- sical as a bugle. This interview, short as it was. left the girl with the feeling of having bcen grasped and shaken by a rude hand. And yet her anger was not unmixed with admiration. His magnificent au- dacity and the grace and dash of his advance interested her. Raymond saw Munro riding away and wondered what his errand could have been, and when Louis told him that the gambler had stopped and de- tained Ann in the path his teeth set in anger. “The little hound!” he growled under his breath. “I’ll put an end to that!" Immediately upon finishing his sup- per he went up the path to Hanley’s to find “the lookout.” Munro was in his place, sitting high above his taro lay- out clicking a couple of silver dollars together, talking with gleeful intensity to Denver Dan, who stood at his shoul- der broadly smiling. The saloon was packed with men. all in high spirits over the precipitate flight of the sheriff. Munro sighted him at last and called out: “Hello, Rob! How goes it?” taking sides with these lawless Raymond did not reply till he reached his side. “I want to talk with you. Jack,” he said in a low voice. Munro studied him for a moment, then turned to Dan. “Take my place 9. Dan compiled, and Raym'ond led the way' Into the Open air, and when they were well out of the crowd he turned day?” “I met her, yes. What about it?” “J Int this.

"What busiâ€" ness is it at yours?” he asked. with instant anger. uâ€"w "â€" Raymond's wrath was self contained. 3‘ “Keep your temper, Jack. We‘ve sum- mered and wintered together. and you can’t make any mistakes about what I mean. I know the kind of women you live with and the kind or life you lead, and I tell youto keep away from the Kelly cabin." Munro did not snarl as Raymond ex- pected. His voice became softly in- sinnating as he said: “Suppose the lady invited me to call? Suppose she 7' -â€"â€"â€"-â€"-L! A“ o 1““; ._V--'â€" was interested in my conversation? The lady had a chance to go. The path was open, but she lingered, she smiled." “You’re a liar!” Munro was now very confident. “Am I? Ask the boy; he saw her talking with me. I say the lady was gracious.” The gambler took on the air of an in- jured comrade. “Now. see here, Rob; you‘re away out 01’ limits. I acknowl- edge I’ve known a whole lot of cheap women, but that’s all the more reason why I should be able to tell when I meet the real thing. Her name is as $3938 with me as with you. Probably she‘s tied up back in the states any- way, so that neither of us has any chance of interesting her. int it‘s an open course and no favors, and so long as she doesn‘t hand me out the ‘iey mitt’ I’m going to make the most of -.â€"_-v w my chance. and from this moment ‘â€"he took off his hutâ€"“I r0101 m I throw up my job at IIanIev’s I cut off booze and I shake Eau Claire.’ ‘iuw â€" _- " Raymond was impressed by his ri- val‘s manner. “You can quit gami- hling, and I hope you can leave liquor; alone, but I see trouble when you shake Claire. But that doesn’t matter. For the sake of old times I want to avoid a quarrel with you. Jack. But I warn you that if Miss Rupert finds your presence disagreeable you go. and you stay! As you say, she is prolmhly engaged to a better man than either or us. But she is here because of the boy. and I feel a certain responsibility for them both. and the man who presumes on a chance acquaintance with her will answer to me.” HAMLIN GARLAND wâ€" “Allright. Leave it to her. 1101)." said Munro almost jocularly. “If she turns me down I‘ll pull out of my own accord, lightning sure. Good night? Ra3 mond walked awn3 with a wnso of failure.

Don’t do it again.” CHAPTER XVI. OT a day passed that the cap- tain of the patrol did not ride down to the door of the Kelly cabin and leap from his saddle with some fanciful greeting, carefully and ornately uttered. So much he re- tained of his Kentucky breeding. “The sherifl’s army grows apace, but does not march,” he announced one morninv. Ann :ould not understand this hu- morous defiance of lawâ€"this colossal recklessness. “What will you do when it does march?" “Meet it and bu’st it.” “Tell me, now,” she said to him at another time, “what is your real mo- tive? Why should you be the cham- pion of the rights of labor?" He astonished her by giving back earnestness for earnestness. “I’ll tell you. my lady. Labor has got to fight. This union is the coming thing. The toilets have not only got to stand toâ€" gether, but they’ve got to drill. I hapâ€" pen to have a little military training. and I’m going to give western labor its first lesson in the power of military or. ganization. “Rob and Kelly both stand for the thing that is going out. They think any man has the same chance they have, but I "tell you this union that they de- spise is the coming order.” In truth, Kelly and Raymond were watching Munro’s rise to power with growing uneasiness. He was now in almost complete control of the camp, and though he still deferred to the un- ion and its committees, his reckless bravery, his prompt execution of or- THE DURHAM CHRONICLE knowledge or .militalfy m forms had made of him the cum? S-Dtiree of command. the only adequatm 737‘3'iiletive' force on the peak. Those on the outside did not hesitate to bail him "the arch devil of the district.” and the whole western world was filled with his doings, his reckless speeches. His fame had fired the hearts of all the dead shots and restless spirits of the west, and from an irr gulur squeal of twenty-five or thirty men his forces had risen to nearly 200 heavily armed and hardy horsemen. Raymond, though keeping Keen eyes upon Munro, was unable. to find cause for war in any word or act of the gam- bler. nor could he fathom Ann’s mind either toward Munro or himself. She appeared to find Munro diverting and Spoke of him only in that way. If she understood his “home life,” it made no change in her attitude. It was incon- ceivable that a refined girl should tol» erate a man who passed from one igno- rant and vicious woman to another. and yet Ann’s greeting remained gra- (:ious, if not friendly. What it was when they were alone. he dared not think. As for Raymond himself. he contin nod to punish himself by putting aside the many opportunities which came to plead his own suit, and took a morbid sort of pleasure in his renunciation. “There will be one man at least who will not persecute her,” he said sav- agely and bent his best energies to ti}a work of developing his mine. One afternoon as Ann and Mrs. Kel- ly sat sewing and chatting together a woman suddenly appeared in the Open door. She was large and high colored. her hat was awry. and there was a wild glare in her eyes and a look in her face that froze even Nora into si- lence. Both stared at their strange visitor in breathless apprehension till she pointed her unsteady finger at Ann and hoarsely cried out: “So you’re the one that’s out me out?” The muscles of one cheek contorted and her eyelid drooped like that of a paralytic as she fixed a baleful look on the ast nished girl. After a moment‘s pause she stepped uneertainly upon the threshold and leaned against the jamb. “Well, you’d better watch out. If you don't give him up, I'll kill you!” “She's c 'azy," whispered Nora. The intruder fumbled in her absurd- ly flamboyant skirt and at last drew out a pistol. “Now you better hop!" | she said, with menacing calmness. Ann rose. white and (211111. "Who are you?

No, sir; let him come. But I got no war with you; you’re all right. But that thing there, with her fancy dressesâ€" I'll pink her with a bullet if she don’t let my Jack alone." If the drunken creature had swept a handful of mire into her face Ann could not have been more revolted, more degraded. Fixing a look of dis- dain on the woman, she said: “You are quite mistaken. Your Jack is less than nothing to me. I despise him and all he mprmntn.” AA- The other wildly laughed. “Ah, yes, you can talkâ€"you’re smoothâ€"but I know!" She began to bluster. “If you hated him, Why do you talk and laugh with him? I saw you yesterday." She raised the pistol. “I tell you, I’ll blow you into kingdom come if you don’t promise right now to give him up!” I, 'I_ L'"‘â€"â€"" As she advanced the two little lads at play just outside appeared in the doorway, and the sight of them steeled the little mother’s heart. “Go away, darlin’s,” she run for dad!” Ann seized the other arm. “I prom- h 1 fresh oxygen, and really ‘0 .roasts it.
