Then, after they had started off at
brisk canter, he said
what do you say to a race, Miss
Pembroke? Let's see which O. these
horses can take the rag off the bush
in mile stretch"
Away they galloped at a reckless
rate of speed, leaving cloud of dust
in their wake.
1t was the next day after this oc-
currence that Joe Langdon stood
leaning against the trunk of huge
tree, just beyond the limits of Blaze
away, absorbed in thought. He was
alone, and he could scarcely have
looked more pale and haggard if he
had just risen from a long, wasting
illness.
81 don't know what ais me, onless
I'm going staring mad" he muttered
to himself. 81 didn't think it 'ud
strike me all of a heap to know that
she loved some other man, but that's
jest what it's dOne-blame my skin if
myself at all. It's the fust time [ was

He made movement as if to wiring
his hands, but seemed to check the
impulse as if he were ashamed of his
weakness.
"Joe Langdon, you're a blamed
fool!" he went on, unconsciously
speaking aloud. "You've got the brass
of a road-agent to go falling in love
withea fine lady like Laura Pembroke.
But how can a man help it? She
amt like other fine ladies. She makes
Teller forget that he's nothing but
a rough cuss; and she couldn't talk
any nicer to the president himself
than she does to me. [ don't know
what I've been thinking of all this
time. [ amt fit to be mentioned in

of her going away from
'You can't, eh?" interrupted
sneering voice. eff that is the case it
is times you were being taught les
son!''
Joe looked up with a start. Charley
Brantley stood before him, tall and
handsome, with an angry CLEAN in
his black eyes. The miner felt him
self growing weak to think he had
committed the browning folly of be-
traying his secret to this man.

cutting sarcasm. 81 have heard of

Chicago,

''Eh? II don't-did you speak to
me, Miss Pembroke?"
She looked at him now, with an ex-
preston of surprise. She saw how
deadly pale he was, and with wo-
mans readiness to jump at conclu-
sions she exclaimed
"You believe it, too You think
Charley is in peril! l know you do -
"Wait a minute, Miss Pembroke -
said the miner, making a mighty eff
fort to recover composure, and par
TALLY succeeding. 'You say some fell
Ter has took an oath he'll kill your
your-Charley Brantley. Who is the
Teller, and what's his name?"
''The people here call him 'Whiskey
Tom He is low, dissipated half
breed. Of course you know him."
"Whiskey Tom! I know him for a
drunken scamp and vagabond!" said
Joe, with emphasis. "He oughter be
hung long ago. Why, bless your
heart, Whiskey Tom 'ud murder his
mother for a glass of whiskey. When
he says he'll kill a Teller, you needn't
fatter yerself that he won't try his
blamedest to do it, jest as soon as he
can make a sneak on the Teller. All
I'm s'prised at is that he tried to
steal rif1e-onless he wanted to sell
it for money to buy liquor with. He
never uses firearms nOhOw-cOuldn't
hire him to have anything to do with
'em. He does all his shootin' with a
bow and arrow, an he can knock a
woodpecker out O. the top of a Cali

Pembroke, you're white as a ghost!'
ooh, won't you try and save him,
Mr.. Langdon?"
"Save who?'
"Charley. If anything like-like
that should befall him, it would kill
me, know it would"
1t would have been hard to tell
which was the paler Of the two, only
for the sun-bronze on the miners
face. 1t was a trying ordeal through
which he was passing, and for mo-
ment it seemed as if he were turning
to ice; but the big, unselfish heart
melted beneath the piteous, entreat-
inggaze of those eyes that had played
such havoc with it during these sunny
weeks. Joe Langdon wiped the per-

that she would surely notice his agi-
tation.

valley. Makes rainbow. You kind

you, Miss Pembroke?"
ooh, yes, indeed. 1 am worship

glimpse of such scenery as this is to
me worth journey across the con-

broke's assertion was reflected in her
flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes.
They were on horseback, and had
halted on a high plateau where the
sunrise and this choice bit of noun
tain scenery had burst simultaneous
ly upon their view.
To look at the two riders one could
not avoid the impression that both
others society. One was beautiful
young lady, fresh from the heart of
GENERALIZATION, with an unmisralSa-
BILE air of culture and high breeding:
the other was a hardy miner, whose
knowledge of the world was confined
to the wild mountainous gold regions
slight, willowy form, displayed to
good advantage in a neat-itting habit
of some rich material; the other re-
vealed a tall, athletic figure, clad in
garments that were coarse and TN
pretentious, but by no means unbe
coming.
They had met by the merest
chance. A party of tourists from
some eastern city had stopped for
month in the little town of Blaze,
away, and Miss Pembroke and her
parents were of the party. Blaze
away, one year ago, had been nothing
more than mining camp, but it had
as it were, and had become so popu
