But he wound the lines around the
brake and jumped down. The passen-
ger was not 10 be outdone. He jumped
down. too and together they went
| trotting across the plain.
Kitty had seen others try to catch
Dandy. She climbed lelsurely into the
stage. and dragged tine mall-pouch
/ from under the seat. She was fright
ened now. and cold and trembling. and
she threw quick glanees to where

Dandy. When she had slowed away In
| the crown of her cap n small package
postmarked Bowie and addressed TO
Cady in pointed, sprawllng, almost
| feminine hand, she snapped the lock.
She had left the keys in the bag. For
she knew that the postmaster had du-
pllcates. Then she steadled herself
with a long drawn breath, and, gather
ing her rldlng-skirts about her, walked
toward DADDY, holding out her hand.
Dandy had been brought up to believe
that this meant sugar or nntmegs. He
came, with neck outstretched, and
nozzled In the little gloyed palm.
"He is sorry he was naughty" said
Miss Foster, scratching the back of his
ear, "and he is going to be good, and
never, never run away from his mis-
tress again."
And then she rewarded O'Rourke by
putting her booted foot In his great
palm and sprlnglng to her seat In a
manner that did his training credit.
She smiled on the passenger and thank
ed him sweetly.
II hope the postmaster will not be
angry with me for delaying the trans
portatlon of the government mails"
and she cantered away.
Cady sat himself upon the stop step
of the porch of Captain Fosters quar-
tiers. Miss Foster did the same. Cady's
face was stern and set Miss Fosters
was white and scared. There was
silence. Then Cady drew from his
pocket a 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, as n bundle of let
ters-fonr In number They came to
me In to-days mail. They were accom-
panied by this note from Glocester. I
need not assure you that have not
read them, but | 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 seorn. you cannot
guess my opinion of YOU"
He held the bundle out to her. She
pushed 1t away. Then she held up
before his eyes package of much the
same size. He reached out for them
quickly.

continued, sis bundle of letters-slx

They were accompanied by a note from
Miss Fowler. of Bowie. | need not as

note with which she returned them.
Here 1t Is. You may find 1t of interest

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 I also ask how, In that
event, they came into your posses
sion"
Miss Foster considered. mo"
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. Kltty's eyes had
been cast down, so that her long lashes
lay upon her cheeks She raised them.
He looked down steadily into their
blue and twinkling depths.
"Well?' echoed Kitty. And then he
smiled.
Miss Foster gave huge sigh OF re-
lief. isn't 1t curious" she said, chow
exactly alike Miss Fowler and Mr.
Glocester write? Any one might have
been deceived"
Which was not very revelant; but
Cady did not ask what she meant. IT.

many charms.-The Argonaut.
