pursuance of some of their horse-thief
plans.
They had not gone many minutes
when there came the sharp clatter of a
horses hoofs up to the door, and Bron-
son flung himself out of the saddle.
SIS it truc?' he asked, eagerly.
''It is quite true" slowly and almost
solemnly.
"Oh, my darling"-he had her in
his arms; she felt his tears on her face,
his kisses on her lips-''what have l

softly.
And then in a minute more he was
gone.
All of this out of doors, where any
one might have seen and heard every
word. But who was there to see in
that wide, green, empty world? The
silence was absolute. She stood listen
fore she went back into the house, think
ing with happy smile how the world
had changed.
She sat sewing the next day swing

was pattering softly about on the bare
boards of his kitchen floor. The south
wind sweeping through the wide-open
door tossed her hair about her fore
head. Outside the green and sunny ST.

Helen, looking up, saw a tall man
standing there, clad in all respects as
the other men of the region were. The
wide hat, the blue flannel shirt with it's
white ornamental stitchings, the jang-
ling spurs and high riding boots were
all common enough. But Helen's heart
beat little faster as he addressed her
after the stcreotyped fashion:
Are the bosses HEREOF
"Both are on the range. They will
not be home before night"
She had risen to answer him, and
stood with her hands on the back of her
chair-a little paler than usual, and a
growing look of terror in her widening
eyes. He had not removed his hat, and
his face was heavily bearded. They
stood silent for little space, and then
he barred his head with a sudden gesture
'Ilelen, don't you know me?"
She neither cried out nor tainted, she
stared at him with fixed horror in her
face.

No; I'm all alive. You don't ask me to

THE TOWN OF LEAvENwoRTH.
The Heart of n Country Famous for
Mines and Fruit Raising.

DR. G. Willis Price, who has just re-
turned from a few weeks business trip
east of the mountains. has pleasant word
10 say about the little town OF Leaven-
worth and vicinity.
"Leavenworth. on the line OF the Great
Northern, is distinctly a railroad town.
with a population OF 500 persons. mostly
railroad employees and their families" he
said yesterday. THE town Is perched
iauntiiy on the rugged mountain side
overlooking tho valley OF the Wenatchee.
and for scenic beauty. especially in the
spring and early summer. the situation is
hard TO surpass. II is Just the place for
camping excursions. and mountain horse
back rides. an exercise the ladies OF this
little city heartily inioy.
'Leavenworth is no sleepy. go easy
town. for in social as well as In business
life everything goes on time Every
week marks its social event and but for
the modesty of the participants the world
would know more OF these pleasantries.
In religious life the Congregational. Bap-
list and Catholic denominations are well
represented.
This is the fishermans paradise, for
within a radius of a few miles no finer
trout fishing can be found In the world.
But look out. mister for II you have
lost any rattlesnakes you have only 10
keep your best ear open and you will be
sure 70 hear their merry Jingle. As pro-
lection, I heard that some men took
strong measures and took them often.
while others only used club but really
no one seems to fear them and they only
add spice 20 the sport.
There are some valuable mining prop
critics in this section OF Oaanogan county
the only drawback being lack OF capital
for proper development. II Is not gen
orally known that within a few miles OF
Leavenworth, at a settlement called Mis-
sion. some Of the finest fruit In the country
is grown. The climate is especially adapt
cd TO the raising OF apples and apricots
The settlement comprises about 800 people
and the fruit acreage is being rapidly in
creased. Only recently some fruit raisers
from the Sacramento valley have located
there and they believe the opportunities
for fruit culture 10 be superior 10 that OF
California. The climate OF this section Of
our state Is very moderate there being
little rain, but plenty OF snow and sun
