and guided her horse into Tarnahan

Fifty yards beyond the fork OF the
roads. her broncho suddenly SHE'D at
dimly seen object In the brush.
Maggie recognized a white calf. She
assured her horse with touch and Il
murmur. Her quick eyes then dis
covered a number of other calves.
She knew the little band at once.
There were nine small heifers, the
property of Mrs. Jordan. the widow"
They're all I've got in the world,
Mrs. Jordan had told her, smiling
through tears as she spoke, for Hick'
.cy bought up the undertaker's bilis
against me and took all my cows.
He'd have taken the calves, too. only
the lawyers made him stop"
"Hickey--the miserable thief" Mag.

Hickey daring to marry Carrie Downs
l don't see how she ever thought OF
saying yes. But she shan't-she shan I
not If have to steal her myself and
run away! They must have made her
take him. Get up, Brutus! Wha'
are you DOING
Almost on the moment, curse ant
n shout indicated that two or more
riders had discovered the calves
doubtless through the shying of theiT
bronCEOs.
Here, Skete. hold on" cried one Of
the llGers behind her; amt these

The girl recognized the nasal suar
OF young Hickey.
What answer was made by "Skete'
she could not determine. A murmul
represented the conversation OF The
men, who had evidently halted in the
road.
"Branded?--like HE'LL" came thu
high voice OF Hickey again, in dispute

his vicious horse toward lettering

Bite 'em! bite EN-! Hey there Rush
'em liveiy!"
The sourryng hoofs beat up a cloud
of col dust, felt rather than seen.
Maggie was tingling with indigna-
ton. She had caught Hickey fairly in
the ac' of robbery; she had heard him
confirm the maddening story that he
meant to marry Carrie Downs at day
light. She was thrice more anxious
than before to fly to Tarnahan's and
save her friend, but Hickey would now
be there az soon as she. She would
have to resort to some other plan to
stop tho wedding.
Maggie fancied she could see old
Justice Carey cross as badger, thin
az n l:nife, gray as the desert, standing
before Carrie and Hickey swapping out
the words of the sacred ceremony. He
was the only man within radius OF
100 miles who could perform the rite
II he would only refuse, the trick
would yet be won!
But she knew old Carey. She knew
he would not refuse, not for love nor
of marrying anyone to anyone else
He seemed almost to take devilish
delight In tying together ill-assorted
couples. Then, like lightning, thought
struck in her brain. 1t almost made
her rec! with its force. BUT her whole
horizon was cleared.
She vaulted up into the saddle MOI
