anywheres."
Kitty flushed. or all things. she was
proudest of her horsemanship.
do you think, O'Rourke, that you
could catch Dandy for Ine?"
81 Dunno" said O'Rourke, faint SO
easy to catch horse when the reins
is over the pommel."
But he wound the lines around the
brake and jumped down. The passen-
ger was not to be outdone. He jumped
down, too, and together they Went
trotting across the plain.
Kitty had seen others try to catch
Dandy. She climbed leisurely into the
stage and dragged the mail pouch from
under the seat. She was frightened
now, and cold and trembling. and she
threw quick glances towEere O'Rourke
and the passenger were advancing, and
retreating, and deploying-never with
in arms reach of Dandy. When she
had slowed away i'm the crown of her
cap a small package postmarked Bowie
and addressed to Cady in point
ed, sprawling. almost feminine hand,
she snapped the lock. she had left the
keys in the bag. For she knew that the
postmaster had duplicates. Then she
steadied herself with a long-drawn
about her, walked toward Dandy, hold
ing out her hand. Dandy had been
brought up to believe that this meant
sugar or nutmegs He came, with neck
outstretched, and nozzled in the little
gloved palm.
HE is sorry he wRs naughty" said
Miss Foster, scratching the back of his
ear, land he is going to be good, and
never, neverrun away from his mistress
again"
And then she rewarded O'Rourke by
putting her booted foot in his great
palm and springing to her seat in n
manner that did his training credit.
She smiled on the passenger and
thanked him sweetly. '
Il hope the postmaster will not be
angry with me for delaying the trans
portation of the government mails"
and she cantered away.
Cady sat himself upon the top step
of the porch Of Capt. Fosters quarters.
Miss Foster did the same. Cady's face
was stern and set. Miss'Foster's was
white and scared. There.was silence.
Then Cady drew from his pocket u
package of letters. They were in
Kitty's writing. Kitty drew from her
pocket another package. They were in
Cady's hand. Cady spoke first.
Here" he said, lis bundle of let
ters-four in number They came to
me in to-day's niG:!. They were accom-
panied by this note from Glocester I
need not assure you that | have not
read them, but l gather from what he
says that they are of an exceedingly
personal nature, and of very recent
date. You may guess my opinion of
Glocester. But" he bent upon her a
look of whitening scorn, you cannot
guess my opinion of you"
He held the bundle out to her. She
pushed it away. Then she held up be-
fore his eyes u package of much the
same size. He reached out for them
quickly.
Not yeti" said Kitty. Here" she
continued, lis bundle of letters-siX
in number They came in to-days mail.
They were accompanied by a note from
Miss Fowler, of Bowie. j need not as
sure you that l have read them. They
are of an exceedingly PERSONAL may
say affectionate-nature and of very
recent date. They were written by you
to Miss Fowler. read, too, the note
with which she returned them. Here
it is. You may find it of interest,"
did"
Cady took the package she held out
to him. Miss Foster took the one Cady
held out to her. And again there was
silence.
Then the lieutenant spoke. "To
whom, may ask, were the letters from
Miss Fowler addressed?"
.'To you"
"And may L also ask how, in that
event, they came into your posses
sion?"
Miss Foster considered "No."
Cady put his package in his pocket
and fastened his blouse over them.
Then he sat looking over the parade
ground. After time he put his hands
on his knees and turned and faced Miss
Foster.
"Well?" he said. Kitty's eyes had
been cast down, SO that her long lashes
lay upon her cheeks. She raised them.
lie looked down steadily into their blue
and twnkling depths.
"Weil?" echoed Kitty. And then he
smiled.
Miss Foster gave huge sigh of relief.
isn't it curious" she said, how exact
ly alike Miss Fowler and Mr.. Gloccster
write? Anyone might have been de-
ceived."
Which was not very relevant; but
Cady did not ask what she meant. r.
relevancy was one of Miss Fosters
many charms-San Francisco Argo-
