The Willy Heather.

An Englishman who was appointed
to an important post in China got mar
ried soon after. Among the recipients
of the usual little cardboard boxes con-
tanning piece of wedding cake was a
Chinese merchant with whom the
bridegroom had an outstanding ac-
count for goods supplied. After the
honeymoon one Of the first persons
the newly welded husband met was
his Celestial creditor.
"And how did you like the cakeY'
said the Englishman laughingly after
the usual congratulations.
"Ah, ha" returned the Chinaman,
with cunning leer. ME no such big

Hawk had moved his sheep eight

east l guess. We could see the smoke
if they fired the grass or his wagon"
he added encouragingly.
Miss Allan was silent, and Sammie
smiled at the pinto's ears. She was
getting to chapter 5, he decided, on
out of her way every day to get a
view of the range. And every night
at the ranch she asked if news had
come from the cattlemen.
But all was quiet until one day the
schoolteacher had remained later than
usual. Sammie did not question when
she turned away from the home path
and rode up the hill until they reached
spot where the range lay before
them. Far to the northeast a faint line
of smoke trailed lazily upsto the clouds.
and she held her breath as she watched
it.
"Sammie," she cried, her hands grip
ping the pony's bride tightly, her face
paling, "Sammie, what is it?''
Just smoke" said Sammie shortly.

II guess we can make it in an hour.
Less n they've fixed him already"
But she rode on beside him fearless
~ until they had passed scattered,
frightened groups Of what sheep were
left, and halted beside the smoking
ruins Of the herder's wagon. 1t was
she who found him first, lying uncon-
scious dozen yards from the wagon.
There was wound in his forehead.
While Sammie stood with wide, scared
eyes, she told him to run to the creek
and bring water, then to ride on to the
ranch for help.
With the water Sammie had brought
her she bathed the wound and kept
his parched lips moist. and the black
and white pony moved up and down
like restless shadow between her ana
the charred wagon.
Once he opened his eyes and stared
up at her in wonder, and she laid her
hand lightly on his hot forehead
Il am sorry" she said softly, and the
pony moved out of hearing as he an
swered her.
A little after moon rise there came the
thud Of hoofs on the ground and the
lone vigil was ended. Next morning
Sammie's freckled face looked eau
t1ously in the open window of the
room at the ranch where the herder
lay.
Hello, Don," he said cheerfully.
"Ain't she got grit, though? Amt she
thoroughbred
Don smiled at him in proud assent,
and moved his bandaged head in a
half nod.

asked Sammie in whisper.
"All DONE" said Don. his eyes bright
with happiness. Next ones on we'd
