Strictly fresh eggs bring 2S cents a
dozen in the local markets. The
chances are that eggs will be even
more expensive the coming winter than
they We're last year. The abnormally
high prices which prevailed during the
summer prevented the usual amount
from being put into cold storage.

CHAPTER XII.

Why was Miss Vlandingham there?
Was it possible that she had not re.
ceived his message? These questions
flashed through Guys brain, but he had
no time to debate them. Pettibone
smarting under his summary treat
ment, was as near angry as he ever be-
came.
'I'm a good fellow all right, Her
BERT" muttered the sheriff, "but III
be dinged if I'm going to let you slam
me around like that. I can be sociable
and pleasant, if / want to, and 1 can
be the other thing, too"
'You mustn't go out there" said
Guy, nodding his head toward the
beach.
"Shucks! Anyone would think, to
hear you talk, that I'm the prisoner
and you're the sheriff. You can't boss
me, no stree"
'Look here, Pettibone," returned
Guy, earnestly, there's no need of our
having a particle Of difficulty. Those
ladies have come here to meet me-"
can appointment, eh?" ~
"Yes."
S'Who made it?"
"They did"
Funny thing that they should ap'
point this place and this particular
time" observed the sheriff, cynically
cts a coincidence, but I can't see
anything very humorous about it."
cts coincidence that doesn't coin
eide
''I'm telling you the truth" averred
Guy, flushing at this pointblank doubt
of his veracity. ''They wanted me te
come out here alone and talk with them
on an important matter. The appoint.
ment was made by letter, received this
morning. Naturally I had no time tc
inform Miss Vlandingham that I was
under surveillance and if she sees yor
she'll think I brought you. You've
been a capital fellow all along, Petit
bone. Be one now, can't you? Stay
here while I go out and talk with
them"
Sand put up job for beating Con
cord out of the county seat, Ell? Not
much! You're little the most pecul
lar fellow I ever saw, Herbert. With
as big bunch of lots is you've got in
Concord you're willing to throw III
everything on account of a chit of a
girl like Betty Vlandingham..'
CTo be continued Next Week.

tening to the conversation and Watch-
ing the sanguinary preparations with
intense interest. Was it to be trag-
edy, after all, instead of a farce? Guy
was beginning to grow nervous.
"We'd better GO out and stop this be-
fore it's too late" he said, excitedly to
Pettibone. They'll kill each other"
"Don't you believe it, returned the
sheriff, confidently. "Hear that! This
is where Billcins and Glimmer take a
hand, and I'll warrant Keever put them
up to it,"
Bilkins and Glimmer had suddenly
leaped from the other patch of timber
and Guy and the sheriff saw them
bound over the intervening space and
hurl themselves upon Col. Keever.
Sampson had also seized his employer
and the three were struggling with him
in great desperation.
Capt. Blue took pipe from one peck
ct, handful of tobacco from another,
and filled his pipe bowl calmly and
methodically while watching Keever' s
apparently desperate attempt to tree
himself.
sStand off" shouted Dingle. "Break
away from that scoundrel or I'll open
fire on you ALL"
No attention was paid to him.
''Go for the whole lot, Dingle," adj
vised the captain, applying a match
to his pipe and putting out little clouds
of white vapor.
"Crack!" came shot from the little
Colonel's revolver.
The bullet pumped into the ground
at the feet of the struggling quartet,
throwing squirt of sand into the air.
At this ominous sound the four Con-
cordians separated and began to run.
The report also frightened the horse
attached to the Colonies buggy and the
animal took to wild gallop and van
ished over the swell in twinkling.
"Crack! crack! crack!" volleyed the
little ColonePs revolver, and faster,
faster fled the pursued, the gallant
Keever, despite his avoirdupois, keep
ing we'll in the lead.
Dingle gave chase and continued to
follow until his weapon was empty and
his foes out of sight, then he returned,
shook hands with Capt. Blue, and they
unhitched their horse, climbed into the
red-wheeled gig and drove uncon-
cernedly away.
Pettibone was rolling on the ground,
kicking his heels and choking with
tumultuous mirth. Guy shared the
sheriff's enjoyment, with the same ap-
probation if not the same abandon,
but the laughter died suddenly upon
his lips. He had CHANGED to look out
over the sandy shore of the lake and
the vision that met his gaze had hushed
his merriment. After he had turned
away to rub his eyes he looked again.
Could he believe the evidence Of his
senses?
Pettibone was not slow to observe
the change that had come over his COM
panion. Getting up quickly he drew
close to Guys side and likewise peered
through the bushes.
"Great Jupiter!" he exclaimed. 'If
there amt Vlandingham's daughter
and another girl, I'm Hottentot! I'll
just go out and interview them"
|. He started out as he spoke, but Guy
grabbed him and jerked him roughly
back.
mo, you don't!" said the young man,
firmly.
