at work tamping the ties.
"Since you're interested in road

in the ditch is Jack Drute, who was
concerned in the D. and r. G. hold up

her. Lord Rallies must have heard, for
he muttered something which made

"Since my father doesn't disapprove, ]

The whole incident had not taken ton

unreasonable hope, for my better sense
told me that it simply meant that Lord
Rallies disapproved, and Miss Cullen,
like any girl Of spirit, was giving him
notice that he was not yet privileged to
control her actions Whatever the scene
meant, his lordship did not like il, for
he swOre at his luck the moment Miss
Cullen had left the room.

asked. And when nodded she said,

Can I, lyedy?" said the fellow, leer-

"Wish I had the chance to try"
The guard interrupted by telling her
it wasn't permitted to speak to the con-
victs while out of bounds, and so we
had to ride on. All Miss Cullen was
able to do was to throw him a little
bunch Of flowers she had gathered in
the mountains. 1t was literally casting
pearls before swine, for the fellow did
not seem particularly pleased, and
when, late that night, L walked down
there with a lantern / found the flowers
lying in the ditch. The experience
seemed to sadden and distress Miss Cul-
len very much for the rest of the after
noon, and kicked myself for having
called her attention to the brute and
could have knocked him down for the
way he had looked at her. 1t is curious
that felt thankful at the time that
brute was not holding up q train Miss
Cullen was on. II is always the unex-
pected that happens. II l could have
looked into the future, what strange
variation on this thought I should have
seen!
The three days went all too quickly,
thanks to Miss Cullen, and BY the end
of that time began to understand what
love really meant to chap and how
men could come to kin each other for
it. For fairly sensible, hard headed
fellow it was pretty quick work, L ac-
knowledge, but let any man have seven
years of western life without seeing a
woman worth speaking of and then
meet Miss Cullen, and if he didn't do as
I did wouldn't trust him ON the tail

him down as defective both in eyesight
and in intellect.
