scowled heavily.

"Who in the dGUiL Is he, lUonder?"

who in the dGuiL Is he, T1UOnder7"
This change in his manner was caused
by man suddenly rounding shoulder
of bluff directly in their front. But Ari-
zony's face frightened at once.
"It's my stepfather," she said. Hes
come to meet me, | know"
When Parson Tilney drew near, his
first mild glance at Yates deepened into
so close a scrutiny as to surprise both the
others.
Hope you'll know me next time, said
Burl "Arizony says you're her stepfa-
Their and likewise preacher too. That
bein the case, we've got job for you
right now"
"Burl! Burlr' interrupted the girl.
shocked at his brutal persistency, but 50
lowering was his look that she paused.
"This girl and me-" continued Yates,

in long time, and I've got to leave, so
we concluded to ask you to do the yokin.
Amt them your sentiments, Arizony?"
She did not reply, and he grew impa-
tent.
"Why don't you speak up, he growled,
land tell your respected half parent as
we're so blamed tired of Twin single that
he must marry us at once?"
There was still another moment of 81
lence. After his first long look at Yates
the preacher fixed his eyes upon Arizony.
SIS this man." he asked, speaking
your desires as well as his own?'
She shivered under an inward conflict
that kept her strangely silent.
"Of course amr exclaimed Burl an
grily.
II ask you, daughter" said the preach
er solemnly, "to reflect. Do you know
who this man really is%
IL don't understand" she faltered.
"Do you remember what told you of
the Yates back in Virginny, and how
your grandfather diedT
at cannot bel 1t is too horrible!" she
almost shrieked as some inkling of the
persons meaning darted through her
mind.
II say he is the mani" and the preach
er pointed finger at Burl, who became
furious at once.
"Hark your he exclaimed. Don't
you NEEDLE any further'n you're asked.
But Parson Tilney, still regarding only
the girl, came step nearer.

1T wasn't so much what l wanted as
what that beautiful young lady said,

look at her."
cat you, you mean," he replied, with
jealous suspicion. But she, pulling him
by the ear into a convenient posture,
dropped kiss in the air just above his
lips.
Suddenly he clasped her in his arms.

manded. II can't bear for another man

these land affairs, but suppose no great
harm can result. A little clemency now
and then sometimes popularizes a good
deal of really necessary severity. But
ah me! we poor women! What lambs
we are amid your masculine tyrannies
and destinations. Let them go, Philip,
and-let us take our gallop. In an hour
it will be time for luncheon"
Stella was still looking at Arizony with
an expression at once satirical, quizzical
and sympathetic, when the girl dropped
her bundle and seized the young lady's
hand.
Thank you, miss, a hundred times"
she exclaimed. "All | have told is
true-we are very, very poor, and the
men are badly needed at home. You're
both awfully good to me, and l wish
could come and stay with you all-in-
deed do. But l cannot leave my peo-
ple-it wouldn't be right"
Miss Oberly gently disengaged her
hand and moved slowly away, while
Arizony fixed her eyes upon Philip.
Il suppose I'll have to do it," he said
at length, ''but it's irregular and sub
versive of good discipline. Besides,
don't think they'll appreciate the favor
or thank me. I'm only kind of tyran-
nical ogre to them all fear"
Not to me you anti" exclaimed the
girl. You're the good prince in the
story who always did just the right
thing in the very nick of time"
Philip looked puzzled. Arizony, with
her swift transitions from grave to
gay, was something of a riddle to him
yet. Despite her inexplicable infatua-
ton for Yates he could not but feel some
admiration for her fidelity to her friends.
Yet how could any one else fully under
stand her when she hardly understood
herself or the subtle strivings of her
own hayward heart?
Presently she trudged away, with her
bundle under her arm, over the prairie
toward the camp at Cottontail, but when
the fort was hidden behind the nearest
swell she sat down to wait for the two
men whose release she had secured.
When they finally came along, a third
man was with them-a boomer from the
Cherokee strip. As they saw Arizony
waiting Chickasaw John winked at this
third companion.
-.--.----~
You'll want to talk to her, Burl," he
said. Me and Tate here, we'll mosey on
ahead, and leave you to carry her bun
die. How are you, Arizony? Me and
Burl have been a-talkin about you, and
we've fixed up plan. You got us outer
that guardhOuse, and we thanks you.
You do what Burl says, and when we've
carried out our plan you'll be all the
richer. Come on, Tate. Two is the only
number cougtin folks likes to count up
to. Don't take much 'rithmetic for that,
sure"
Chickasaw John and the third man
laughed and hurried ostentatiously for
ward, viewing the situation mainly in a
humorous light. Burl walked by the
girls side and eyed her suspiciously. The
bundle he entirely ignored.
