his ace, reading each emotion his tae-telling eyes

all the nenentos of the dead love about it-last

here on the porch behind the fower-screened trels
You are as beautiful a daughter of the

as the blossoms burst the black bare branches of

When she was alone in the house she would move
before the old pier glass in its high glded frame.

kissed me, and | am beautiful. | am not an Indian

Then she fashioned for herself fantastic dressing
She had found an old print called " Pharaoh

knotted around her waist, two large disk-headed

long silver chain cooled over her shoulders

No1selessly she drew close to the porch hiding

and kissed Alice on the lips
Beta sat by her window in the morning, and with
morning and brightness came hope Doane had
loved her; he must love her still. His love had only
slept IN her absence; it would all come back-a
memory a touch of the past. and this new pale
thing that had come into his life would be forgotten

resemblance, he should trouble even less
about it than yesterday. But Mather,
rejecting on the distance that yet inter
vened to the Kentucky border, and on the
possib encounters of tomorrow, vowed
that in similar expeditions of the future
he would make sure that his guide pos
sessed no unpopular double.
He was drifting at last into dreams,
when he was reused by the clatter of a
horses hoofs under the CLASHES window,
and creeping from the bed, he saw Frost
in the moonlight dashing down the trail.
Mather's heart beat thicl1ly. What did
this mean? Should be wake Parker?
Nonsense! That fellow with nerves of
steel would think any man a coward who
imagined a danger possible until he was
face to face with it. Probably the
woman was i'll and her husband had
gone for doctor; or perhaps, in spite of
Frost's respectable appearance, his bust
ness was moonshining- business which
Mather believed was pursued in such
midnight hours.
Ten minutes later he slept profoundly,
and it was his companions voice that
next reused him.
The attic was full of flaring, uncertain
light, through which tall figures and
fierce faces appeared Enthusiastically,
while Parker, sitting on the edge of the
bed, jeered at these ominous visitors.
Reckon none of you gents has ever
seen a theater," he drawled. eff this is
a dramatic scene you are aiming to put
on, I'll give you pointers which"
Shut up, Jim Bassett!" somebody
interrupted
Has that fool b1under brought you
all out of your beds?" he demanded.
"Mr. Frost, sir, l thought you allowed
that likeness to be misleading when we
spoke about it last night"
my wife swore to me after you come
up here that you were him as killed her
brother Dave when her dads still was
raided," Frost said sul1en1y. Il could
have shot you without this fuss; but
I've always stood ag'in' DRAWN my gun

That depends upon what you call

"A man doesn't stuff letters and papers
into his kit when he starts across these
mountains. But no more does a man,
as smart as I've heard BasSett allowed,

has just slipped off of him-and I've
done that, if I'm Bassett
He turned his bold eyes to Mather's
dismayed countenance. MIR. Mather,
sir, please tell these gentlemen about
those Simpson boys yesterday, and that
you and l are tired of fitting spectacles
to near-sighted bunglers."
Sincere belief has a force as convincing
as much more logical proof Mather's
vehement confession of faith that his
guide was a Parker, nephew to Dan
Parker of Wide Mouth Gap, known and
respected by all these mountaineers,
rang true in every word, while his story
of the Simpsons discontinue added to
their sudden doubt. Even such lawless
vengeance as they purposed required

his shoulder to a woman moving d1mly
through the shadows which filled the
space between the door and fire blazing
in the huge chimney. EN-, I'm tellin'

easy made enough for four
With which he led the way to a shed
where the horses were stabbed, and re-
turning to the bench before the cabin, he
and Parker grew SO interested in details
concerning his recent migrations to
that side of the mountains that only
Mather turned at the rustic of cotton
skirt behind them.
A girl stood on the threshold, dark as
a gypsy, and in the twilight seeming to
have more beauty than he had heard
ascribed to the Woodworking early aging
women of these mountains. But she
slipped back into the cabin SO swiftly
when she met his glance that his one dis
tinct impression was of strangely brilliant
black eyes.
Her husbands talk with Parker ram
b1ed on apparently unconscious of sup
per's delay, though Mather was rabidly
hungry before she called shrilly that it
was ready.
She had vanished when they entered,
and Frost, as their host named himself,
following her with obvious surprise to an
inner room, returned without her.
MY girl amt right peart these days."
he apologized, sitting down at table.
:" She makes you welcome; but she is
some shy of strangers"
Supper over, Mather smoked drowsily
beside the chimney; but his attention
reused keenly when Frost broke off in a
story of hunting adventure with genial
slap on Parker's knee.
Its Jim Bassett you are hke!"
he cried. Il knowed you featured
somebody soon as l set eyes on you,
though l couldn't put name to the
likeness"
I've been told I was like him." Park
er acknowledged, stretching his long
legs to the fire. Made this county
unhealthy for him while he was deputy,
didn't he?"
His life wouldn't be worth the cost
of coon skin if he was seen round here
ag'in without posse.
Uncomfortable double for mel"
The likeness amt that strong any
but fool would shoot you at sight, "
Frost declared assuringly. You would get
time to set the mistake right, l reckon"
Mr.. Mather, sir, you and l must hope
we don't meet any fools between here and
Kentucky" Parker laughed.
But Mather was not amused. Sup
pose my friend happened to be this
Bassett," he began argumentatively.
"Of course a good citizen like you, Mr..
Frost, would stand by him in case"
i'm Bassett wouldn't need nobody
to stand by him, SO long as he could keep
his gun goin', Frost interrupted grim1y;
then he added Hospitality, as Parker rose
with huge yawn: Not bedtime yet
surely? There is good whisky here
waisin' your drinkin', gentlemen"
The sleeping quarters to which he led
them up ladder presently proved to be
an attic decorated with every variety of
household property, from flitches of
bacon to many-colored feminine gar
ments. But big bed filled the center of
the place, and when Frost had hidden

hands into his own.

he said. Nov tell them-they will

A moment the two Stood hands and

stared at them as mutely.

at last. 'Or, by holy, III shoot him"
She put her hands over her eyes. He

gasped; flung her arms about Frost's
neck and tainted away.
That ended it. The would-be avengers
skunk off silently, and with their going
the dawn crept into the attic.
That was a daring risk to take"
Mather said while pulling on his boots and
coat. She was half mad with excitement.
Suppose she had stuck to her mistaken"
Il knew she wouldn't hang me when
it came to her say-poor SOUL" Parker
muttered with a break in the voice,
which had been steady when he scoffed
at his prospective eXecutioners.

and corn-bread, of which they ate with
out much appetite.
When they had mounted their horses,
Frost put hand on Parker's saddle-bow
Don't think hard of my girl" he
said. She was powerful fond of her
brother Dave, and she is the kind that
don't forget"
She saved my life Parker answered
shortly. Tell her don't forget either"
During the long ride that followed,
Mather found his guide gloomier and
more taciturn than in the two previous
days OF their acquaintance; but with
his own sight and hearing strained to
avoid further encounters by the way,
he bestowed little conjecture on Parker's
change of mood.
1t was not until late that afternoon,
when they were parting at the railway
station of Kentucky border town, that
at last he understood.
His train was due, and Parker had
declared an intention of giving up the
ride back to Wide Mouth Gap and of
going at once to a neighboring city,
where there must be a recruiting Office.
We have had right close squeeze,
Mr.. Mather, Sir" he wet on. And
now that we are safe, should like to
tell you a secret" he continued.
Then, somehow, Mather's eyes were
opened and he saw. You might have
trusted me with the truth, Jim Bassett!"
Mather protested hotly.
