benches instead of chairs.
"You will oblige me, captain" said
Buford as they rose from the table, IF
you will be SO good as to drive Miss
after a WHILE"
Franklin assented to this PROPOSE
tion with such eagerness that he
blushed as he saw how evident had
been his pleasure at this opportunity
for a moments speech alone with the
girl who sat so near but yet so unap-
proachable. "I'll be delighted" said
he.
Mary Ellen said nothing. The pink
spot in her cheek was plainly deeper.
1t did not lessen as she stood watch
ing the struggle the two men had In
again hitching to the buggy the wild
black horse. Seiging the tug with
one hand and the singletree with the
other, Franklin fairly swept the OBJ
durate beast off its balance as he
forced It to its place at the pole. His
strength was apparent.
Are you afraid to ride behind that
horse?" asked he.
II don't think So" she replied sim
ply, and her uncle helped her in. while
Franklin steadied the team. Yet how
Franklin hated the wild black horse
now! All the way across the prairie
during the short drive to the shanty
the beast gave him plenty to do to
keep it inside the harness, and he
had no time for single word. The
girl sat silent at his side, looking
straight ahead. At the shanty he
helped her down. Ignorant, he saw
not the tale OF n bosom heaving, nor
read correctly the story OF the pink
in the cheek. He believed rather the
import Of face turned away. and OF
features set In a mask OF repose.
There had as yet been no word.
The claim shanty was indeed In
some need of repair. One corner Of

gone quite blank. He could not at

again with a deep layer Of earth.
Franklin, standing upon a chair, put
his shoulders under the sagging beams
and lifted them and their load Of dis
arranged earth up to the proper level
on the top of the wall, while Buford
built under them with sods. 1t was
no small weight. that he upheld. As
he stood he caught an upturned tell
tale glance, a look of sheer feminine
admiration for strength, but Of this
he could not be sure, for it passed
feetly as 1t came. He saw only the
look OF unconcern and heard only the
conventional word of thanks.
AS Mary Ellen stepped into the
buggy for the return home her face
had lost its pink. One of the mys-
terious revulsions of femininity had
set in. Suddenly, it seemed to her,
she had caught herself upon the brink
of disaster. This tall and manly man,
she must not yield to this impulse to
listen to him! She must not sue
cumb to this wild temptation to put
her head upon a broad shoulder and
to let it lie there while she wept and
rested. To her the temptation meant
personal shame. She resisted it with
all her strength. The struggle left
her pale and very calm. At last the
way of duty was clear. This day
should settle it once for all. There
must be no renewal of this mans suit.
He must go.
1t was Mary Ellen's wish to be
driven quickly to the house, but she
reckoned without the man. With a
sudden crunching of the wheels the
buggy turned and spun swiftly on.
headed directly away from home. "I'll
just take you a turn around the hill"
said Franklin, land then well go in"
1T isn't the way home," said Mary
Ellen.
Il can't help it." said Franklin.
You are my prisoner. l am going to
take you-to the end of the world"
Its very noble of you to take me
this way!" said the girl with scorn.
What will my people think?"
Let them Think" exclaimed Frank
lin desperately. Its my only chance.
I can't do without you! It's right for
us both. You deserve a better life
than this. You. Beauchamp, Of the

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Way Of a Maid.

INC way OF q maius
The Halfway House was an oasis in
the desert. To-day it was an oasis
and battle ground. Franklin watched
Mary Ellen as she passed quietly
about the long, low room, engaged in
household duties which she performed
deftly as any servant. He compared
these rude necessities with the asso-
Citations amid which he knew this girl
had been nurtured. and the thought
gave him nothing but dissatisfaction
and rebellion. Presently he rose, and
excusing himself. went out to Join
Buford at the corral.
Come" said the latter, "and I'll
show you around over our improve
ments while we are waitin for bite
to eat. II ever this land comes to be
worth anything at all, we ought to
grow into something worth WHILE"
YES" said Franklin, "it will make
you rich" and as they walked about
he pointed out with Western enthusi-
asn the merits of the country.
The bite to eat" was in time duly
announced by loud, sonorous note
that arose swelling upon the air. Aunt
Lucy appeared at the kitchen door,
her fat cheeks distended, blowing
conch as though this were Tidewater
over again.
The long table was spread in the
large room of general assembly. this
room being, as has been mentioned,
excavated from the earth, SO that, as
they sat at table, their heads were
perhaps nearly level with the surface
of the ground. The short side walls,
topped with a heavy earthen roof,
made of this sort of abode a domicile
rude and clumsy enough, but one not
lacking in a certain comfort. In the
winter it was naturally warm, and in
the summer it was cool, the air.

the room, passing through and afford
