own: at the end of two hours they re-
turned. for he had disappeared without
track or trail The end was briefly told
in the Sierra Record:
Red Pete, the notorious horse thief,
who has so long eluded justice, was cap
tured and hung by the Sawyers' Crossing
yigilantes last week; his confederate, un-
fortunately, escaped on a valuable horse
belonging to Judge Boompointer. The
Judge had refused 81 1000 for the horse
only week before. AS the thief, who
is still at large, would find it difficult to
dispose of so valuable an animal without
detection, the chances are against either
of them turning up again.
Salomy Jane watched the cavalcade
until it had disappeared. Then she be-
came aware that her brief popularity
had passed. Mrs. Red Pete, in stormy
Mysteries, had included her in sweep
ing denunciation Of the whole universe
possibly for Stimulating an emotion in
which she herself was deficient. The
other women hated her for her momen-
tary exaltation above them; only the
children still admired her as one who
had undoubtedly canoodled with man

beyond their widest ambition. SaIomy
Jane accepted the change with charm
ing unconcern. She put on her yellow
nankeen sunbonnet--a hideous affair
that would have ruined any other wo-
man, but which only enhanced the
piquancy Of her fresh brunette skin

"Wot's this yer I'm hearin' of your
doin's over at Red Pete's? Honey foglin
with horse thief. ehY said Mr.. Clay
two days later ut breakfast.
II reckon you heard about the straight
thing, then" said Salomy Jane uncon-
cernedly, without looking round.
what do you kalkilate Rube will say
to it? What are you goin' to tell him!
said Mr.. Clay sarcastically.
"Rube." or Reuben Waters, was a
swain supposed TO be favored particu-
larly by Mr.. Clay. Salomy Jane looked
up.
.IlI tell him that when he's on his
wav to be hung I'll kiss him-not till
then" said the young lady brightly.
This delightful witticism suited the
Maternal humor, and Mr.. Clay smiled,
but. nevertheless, he froWned a moment
afterward.
"But this yer boss thief got away ar
ter all, and that's boss of different
color" he said grimly.
Salomy Jane put down her knife and
fork. This was certainly II new and diff
ferent phase Of the situation. She had
never thought of it before, and, strange
~ enough, for the first time she became
interested in the man. "Got away" she
repeated. did they let him off"

a little more abstractedly. And he had
returned it, like u man, holding her
tight and almost breathless, and he go

lOmy Jane had been Kissed at other
times, by force, chance or stratagem. In

had 'Dined" for Il sweet kiss from
SaIomy Jane, which she had yielded in a

never been kissed like this before-she
would never again-and yet the man
was alive! And behold, she could see in
the mirror that she was blushlng.
She should hardly know him again. A
young man with very bright eyes, a
flushed and sunburnt cheek, a kind Of
fixed look in the face, and no beard
no, none that she could feel. Yet he
was not at all like Reuben-not Il bit.

to think she did not even know this

he kissed by man whom she might
never know! OF course he knew hers.
She wondered if he remembered it and
her. But of course he was so glad to
get off with his life that he never
thought Of anything else. Yet she did
not give more than four or five minutes
TO these speculations, and, like n sensi-
BILE girl, thought of something else.

closet she found the brown holland
gown she had worn on the day before.
