she said, cheerfully. 1T gave the
man a good chance to get across
Hollow Tree ford and into another
state. I gave him directions early
this morning. hope you have en-
joyed your stay. Come again, Mr..
Pringle."
"What did you mean by maxim
me think he was hidden there?" he
demanded, furiously, unappeased by
the dancing brown eyes that looked
into his.
81 didn't tell you that he was
there" she said, innocently. "You
said he was there yourself"
Ben Pringle flung himself out of the
house and upon his horse without a
backward glance. If he had looked
he would have seen the girl standing
in the door, shading her eyes with
her hand and waving something white
after him; but he could not look.
Down under the sycamore tree ven
geance was waiting for him in the
the person of grim old sheriff who
had an extraordinary gift of Ian
guage.
The girl watched them out of sight
and then turned back into the room.
"You can come out now" she said;
and the man who had laid Sol Wig
gins low came forth from his hiding
place.
''Talk about Delilah!" he said,
gleefully, as he stretched his cramp-
ed limbs, "I'll bet you could give her
cards and spa"
81 wouldn't talk about anything"
she said, briefly. "I'd strike out for
the lower ford, and try to get across
before they find the track again"
And acting on her suggestion he
went; but bursts of laughter made
merry the solemn road down to the
lower ford.
Three weeks later Ben Pringle,
still in the depths of humiliation,
told Sheriff Barton all about it.
81 thought knew something about
women" he said, irritably, sitting
sidewise on his horse; ''but there
she was, ironin' away an chaffin'
me all that time, with him hid I'M
der the ironin' table. She had big
quilt spread over it to iron on, an
there he was so close I could "a
reached out an caught i'm from
where 1 was sittin'. Blame a woman,
that's what say!"
"Beats me-" said the elder man,
thoughtfully, show easy it is for some
folks to be come over by woman.
Now, if I'd gone there, looks to me
like I'd "a seen into that little game.
There ought to be somethin' done
with that girl. She ought to be
taught lesson"
"That's what I thought" said the
deputy, with chastened spirit. 81
went there an talked to her serious
ly-an' we're goin' to be married
next month. You see it occurred to
me"
'What!" calculated the sheriff.
'That there amt a mob livin' could
get prisoner away from that girl
if she didn't want to give i'm up"
The sheriff considered the ques-
ton thoughtfully.
"But Ned, if that amt sol" he ex-
claimed, with astonished con-
viction. "WeIl just take FER into
partnership, Ben-ironin' table an
all!"-Woman's Home Companion:

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

THE two men, riding little dis
lance from the house, sat on
their horses and looked at one an
other.
'He went there, sure as fate" said
the elder man, with decision.
''But she says not" said the young
er, much perturbed. 'An' if she says
so it'll pay us to go slow. Old Mays
mighty touchy."
The sheriff ran his fingers grimly
through his long beard, and gazed
at the house in question. Looks
mighty innocent" he said refectively.
Nobody at home but the girl-her
there ironin'-ducks and chickens in
the yard everything like it had been
just so for year"
The. young man, who CHANGED to
be deputy sheriff, smiled at his SUI
perior with some embarrassment.
''Tell We what" he said blushing, "if
he's there l can get that girl to give
him up. I'm some acquainted with
her." he added, consciously. 'I've
took her to church once or twice
an onct on hay-ride. You just go
off down the road and wait at that
sycamore tree at the fur side O. the
clearin'. Bet you five dollars if the
mans there I'll bring him OUT
''See what it is to have kind O.
way with women" sighed the sheriff
There was always somethin' lackin'
in me, but whenever L piped they
didn't dance, not by a long sight.
I'll wait for we, Ben"
The sheriff rode away as though
he had given up the quest, while Ben
Pringle, deputy of weeks standing
and intent on his first capture, went
back to the house he had quilted
few minutes before. He was a hand
some young fellow, tall and alert.
There was something suggestive of
power in the very manner in which he
tossed the bride over a fence-post
and slapped the horses neck, making
that animal bound airily; and per-
haps the girl within was not alto
gether unconscious of it.
She bent over the table sprinkling
more clothes and singing to herself.
The neck of her waist was turned
in, showing the round, white throat.
Her sleeves were rolled up above her
elbows, and such arms might have
set throbbing an older heart than
his. All the mass of her red-brown
hair was piled up on her head, but
there were alluring little curls that
fuffed around her forehead and
--strayed over her neck. The deputy
sheriff inwardly reminded himself
that he had come back in pursuit of
an escaped prisoner; but when he
paused to think he was not quite too
sure. AS for her, when she straight
ened up at the sound of his step in
the door there was daring light in
her eyes.
Back already?" she said with a
laugh and a toss of her head.
You'd better be out hunting for the
man that beat Sol Virgins, it seems
to me''
The deputy sheriff sat down de-
liberately. 81 don't mind waitin'
awhile he said civilly. "We think
the man came this way, an havin' a
kind o. friendship for-the family
you know-I couldn't rest easy with
you here alone and the man loose in
the woods"
His eyes were fixed on closet door
just beyond her. That was abso-
lutely the only place possible.
