They replied that cider would dc
very well-in fact, much better than
water for their purpose, for they had
rough time before them.
AS they drank they asked for the
host He was away, she said, gone
over the mountain to the town; a
trial was being held there, had they
not heard of it? Nearly every one had
heard of it; it was making a stir.
Folks were excited about it; there
was to be trial there, and Johnson
had they ever heard of Johnson
was all they were waiting for to lay
the guilt where it belonged; he knew
more about it than most folks; some
thought
Did Johnson go? No, not that she
knew of, and she would know. He
went over to the opposite mountain
last night to hunt his COW.
In what direction did Johnson go?
She was not sure she believed he
went right down the road across the
valley. There was bridge across
the river if one followed the road
along the foot of the mountain bit.
Jenkins had seen her there, and he
told Johnson so at the tavern; John
son went right over to hunt her; he
took his gun in case he came across
game, but that was useless unless he
were luckier than usual, for Johnson
was too shiftless to have luck.
Yes, the COW came back; she had
lost her bell; he would expect to find
on hunting he hadn't sense enough
to know she would most likely come
home by herself. But If he did not
wish to return for reasons best known
to himself-Johnson was shiftless, but
he was no fool about some things.
His girl now had about as little
sense as was possible. She did not
even know when she vas well off; she
was like her mother for all the world,
only worse.
AS for Dolores, she seemed to like
him to talk to her; she was not in the

and, no doubt, she felt flattered that
he took notice of her. Their men
never said much to her, for they did
not like her. Maybe she went over
the mountain. Well, maybe she went
because she wished to go. How could
she answer for her? Perhaps
Could they find Johnson if they
tried? She did not know. The oppo-
site mountain was a dangerous place;
there were sharp lodges and turns and |
deep chasms; folks seldom ventured |
over there except for hunting; they |
had no cause to go.
Did they want Johnson? He was
not in the habit of gong of; he never |
went hunting except on their own
he had no 90 ahead in him;
he was shiftless and SO was his daugh- |
ter-only worse.
They had accomplished their errand |
and paid her literally as they arose
to 70. more determined than ever to
find johnson were it a possible thing.

Later, as Dolores watched, yellow
cloud of dust arose where the road
and the sky seemed to meet. She
watched it mechanically. AS the cloud
appeared and drew nearer out of it
appeared a body of horsemen riding
at a sharp pace down the rough road.
They slackened their pace as they
came up. The girl was plainly dis
cernible in her print gown under the
pines. They halted at the rickety
gate. and one Of them dismounted and
went up the walk. He removed his
hat as he drew near Dolores.

was unfamiliar to her save as used
by young Green. Then she bent her

blue haze was tangled, hiding all be-

The men rode on in silence; there
was solemnity around them that
hushed all light words. The enormity
OF their undertaking dawned more
and more upon Them to search for
man in that wilderness with the noun

winding paths, lodges hidden by haze
that would swallow man as com
pletely as a sepulcher, and leave no
trace, massive rocks overhead that a
tremor of the mountain would hurl
upon them. No wonder the men grew
silent and allowed the horses to have
their way; man could not follow the
dangerous, hidden paths; only brute
instinct could find the safe places.
They came at last to the path up
the mountain, and the horses refused
to take it until urged by whip and
spur. 1t was path that shielded all
beyond 1t, as though the mountain
had made a fastness that mono could
break. The horses toiled up slowly,

as they shouted in hopes of a reply

gruesome in the loneliness.
Half way up the mountain they
paused and faced about. 1t was use

Dolores sat in the doorway wait
ing for her fathers return from the
tavern. He had been to the house
while she was over the mountain, and
had his supper. She herself had eaten
nothing for she had no appetite In
spite of her walk over the mountain.
She was quite idle, her hands in
their old listless attitude in her lap,
her dark head resting against the
implanted door post, her grave face
and thoughtful eyes raised to the
heavens. The moonlight falling across
her face defined it clear and perfect
as marble; upon the clean bare floor
behind her lay her shadow long and
dark.
The night was silent; the distant
sound Of rude singing from the tav-
ern died away; the lights went out
one after another in the long, low
houses. Dolores began to wonder
vaguely why her father did not come.
Midnight had passed; the hours licked
away one by one on the big clock
in the corner, the moon hung round
and golden above the mountain peaks
in the west; in the east a streak of
whittier light appeared, broadened and
deepened The girls shadow disap-
peared from the floor; it lay in front
of her on the door stone.
The COW was cropping the grass on
the. roadside, her breathing deep and
contented Lode, the next neighbor,
came up the road with bucket. His

Johnson's well was public property at
such times.

Dolores reused herself, a slow
thought coming to her mind. 81 have

Lode held the bucket suspended

his face.

Dlores? Warn't We hyar when he

A sudden sharp fear woke in her
mind; she arose and faced Lode, the
sunlight ON her head

He swung the bucket up on the
edge of the well and passed down the
road in silence, his slouching figure
like a blot on the exquisite landscape
Breakfast was ready. and Dolores
went in and set the potatoes and ba-

coffee was ready to make; she never
made that till it was ready to be
