sOPHs. DRAGGED IN THE MUD.

that the Freshies also were waiting
in expectation of the appearance of
the cane. It came. The Sophs,

issued from the entrance of the
building, and were Immediately set

the old time gladiatorial combats.
To the spectators it was hard to dis

OF human forms, which side was
gaining the advantage.
The inclination of the ground
naturally drew the struggling mass
down the hill, the crowd following
and cheering on the combatants, un-
til the wire fence at the foot of the
campus was reached; here after a
final fierce effort the Freshmen sue

cried he. The turkey is just coming
out of the oven, and it's been sizzling
mad these last two hours because you
wasn't here to help eat it,"
Savory scents and hot-oven sounds
emanated propitiously from the kitch-
en-. Bucking Titus tried to be gay, and
made good deal of noise as he got out
of his bear coat and unbuttoned his
leggins. But his heart was trembling
like an aspen in storm and he felt
sick-like man who hears the ham,
mer that makes his gibbet. He delayed
pusillanimously for about five minutes
before he pulled out the letters. There
were two for zoe and the fatal one for
Claribei.
He tried not to look at the girl while
she read hers. but. finally he had to
steal an upward glance. Her face was
flushed little and she was smiling.
An invisible hand of iron came from
somewhere and griped the mail car
rier's throat. He leaned his head upon
his hand.
After a minute the girl came over
and sat near him, her letter in her
hand.
"You seem really i'll" she said. softly,

"You are uncommonly good. Mr..

Bucking Titus gave fierce lurch
at the saddle bags, though they
seemed to Anderson to be adjusted
quite correctly.

hero in his way and had known great
dangers ana had had combats with the
elements and with wild beasts and
wilder men but he spoke like sulky
schoolboy

her." said he, "why don't you take
her out of the Gunnison country?"
Bernard Anderson threw back his
handsome head and laughed.
"Good-by!" cried he. IL like the
idea! I'll have to go home and think
the matter over. If it seems likely
that she will fit into the life there
who knows?"

drifting snow before the men, and

one last leap and lay inert. The

"But this is for you and he cut a
foot off with his knife and handed
it to Anderson.
"Thanks." cried the young city
man, delighted. ''As like as not it
will bring me the eidelweiss of the
Gunnison SHOWS. Eth, Titus?"
"As like as not" responded Titus
through his beard, ant he put spurs
to his horse.
Two days before Thanksgiving
Bucking Titus started on his itinerary
with the full intention of timing him
self so that he would be invited to
eat turkey at Yoe's ranch. This was
before he had reached Bixby's, where
he looked over his mail while he ate
his breakfast. The process of look
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1900-11-24

ing over the mail was always inter-
esting to Titus. Folk did not have
so many letters in those snowbound
solitudes but that all took an interest
lin their going and coming; and Titus
was honestly anxious to learn what
Nancy Higgins wrote home from
Ouray to her mother; and he waited
till old man Sessions had opened
Franks letter from New York that
he might find out how the boy was
getting on and how he liked his job.
So when he saw letter addressed in
a masculine hand to Miss Claribel zoe
and bearing a Cincinnati postmark. he
knew just as well as if he had read it
that the handsome young Anderson
had magnificently concluded that she
would "fit in" to his comfortable life
and surroundings, and had written to
tell her so. Titus cursed him for a
puppy. He hated man who made
condolences, and any man so loose
of soul as Anderson, who blabbed his
affairs to any chance companion,
seemed to him something less than a
natural"
but she's bound to like the pretty
boy" he thought. "He's the kind
that takes woman. Somehow. the
nicer woman is the bigger fool she
marries."
And he said to himself that he would
make no effort to eat turkey at Yes.
But it may have been that his horse
was fond of turkey-no. that is wrong,
for there were two relays between Blk
by's and Yoe's. Indeed, upon refiec-
ton, IL is absolutely impossible TO tell
just why it was that Bucking Titus
drew rein at Yoe's ranch at high noon
of Thursday and blew upon his horn
like warder Of an ancient port.

country with an unwelcome compan-
ion. The companion had joined him
at Yoe's ranch, where he had been
staying for a month. bracing up
degenerate lung. Titus hated a
''lunger,' as he opprobriously termed
the invalids who made Colorado mel
ancholy; and, anyway, Titus was
man of prejudices. He covered more
ground than any other mail carrier in
the whole state, and the snowbound
pass that would daunt him, the height
which would make him giddy, the
path he would not venture, the storm
he would not face he had yet to en-
counter. His critics might have
claimed for him more bravado than
wise courage-but Titus did not care
about critics. Talking was one of the
superfuous arts at best, according TO
Bucking Titus.
That was one of The two reasons
why he objected to Bernard Ander-
son, his companion. Anderson would
talk. He exclaimed about the glory
of the mountains; he thought it
worth his while TO make comments
upon the splendor of the autumnal
foliage. and he even went so far as
to say what he thought about the
mists that entwined themselves
around the cruel front of the Old
Mans mountain-that grim wall of
granite whose canyons knew the
blacklist tragedies of all the noun
tains in the country round about.
Anderson was stupid enough to relate
some of these tales-though they were
ancient history TO Titus.
But the second reason for dislike
which Titus entertained for Ander-
son was of more serious nature.
Anderson had been four weeks I'M
der the same roof with Claribel zoe.
AS for Titus, though for two years
past he had ridden over the pass like
the wild huntsman. thinking only of
the face that he should see in the val
ley beyond, he had never so much as
known what it was to press her hand
or to sit opposite to her at table. To
be sure, she had brought him out hot
coffee now and then or hidden him to
sit beside the fire, and on holidays
had given him a true stirrup cup, yet
he said to himself with endless itera-
ton that she cared nothing for him
that she had never noticed him any
more than she had 90 other men.
All men were chivalrous to her.
How could they be otherwise? She
coaxed' sociability out of the solitude
and made home in the wilderness
and tenderness in the country of
granite rocks, and there were warmth
and light and cneer in her dwelling
among those bitter SHOWS. Perhaps
Claribel zoe had ceased to be mere
woman and become something SYM
bolic to the men who knew her-the
adventurers who passed along the
cruel road to Tin Cup.
Anderson. taking the unnecessary
trouble to pick the way for his horse
who was an old mountain climber
talked cheerfully to the mail carrier.
