Sells started west. He had not heard

Sells started west. He had not heard
the rumors that were circulating.
You may have that horse of mine
if you can find him, Elsie" he said at
parting. and both laughed at the idea.
But a few days later when the tongue
of scandal grew bOlder the girl heard
the story. She sprang to his defense.
From defending him she became am
bilious to acquit him. Then, as a fur
ther reward, there was the horse that
would be hers. Saying nothing to any
one outside of her own family, she
started out on the trail of the desper-
ado who already had been captured and
returned to the penitentiary.
But the trail was blind. She could
not find it. Tongues still wagged al
billiards as only village tongues can
clatter spite, and as a last resort she
determined to go 10 Columbus and try
to prevail on the Kuhns TO talk. Peace
officers had tried and failed. He had
remained sullen and silent, however,
saying nothing that would give light
on his escape.
Miss Romick went to Warden Darby
and got permission TO see Kuhns. But
he told her that the visit would not
avail. She talked with the man a few
moments, telling him why she had
come. Finally he Telented and told
all.
He had walked to billiards, and
there, being footsore, had determined
to steal horse and buggy. He had
hung about the Sells home till night
| fall and had seen Miss Romick there.
He got into the barn soon after dark,
| but decided at last tC ride the horse.
Seven miles away he tired of the sad
| die. found some vehicles at a school
/ house entertainment. took a buggy,
| and drove the Sells horse to il as long
as the animal could make time. He
unhitched it finally. got astride of it
again. and rode till it was complete
! Iy fagge3 Then. leaving it on the
road. he went on afoOt Into Indiana.
Miss Romick went az once 10 Union
City. Ind, near which the horse had
been left. She found a farmer who
had taken it in. and after paying a
pretty steep bill for the animals feed
she arrived at billiards with il last
week.
1t is true that as a romance this
story is incomplete as yet. But it is a
true story. Also. even the expected
may happen if time enough be al
lowed.
