 Yes. and it's fair time and the colln try full e va@abonds. That's q grand idca. Mr. Jim Hagan. to leave me alone entirely by mySeif!'' Jim wilted.
 "Nhatll we de- thin?' he demanded. "Wcll sit here till some one comes" said Clodah.
 So they sat Birds sang in the long meadow grass. X hare fitted by like a shadow Nothing else stirred. The road stretched away white and desert ed Tim moodily scanned the horizon. and Clodah wondered if the sunlight would fade her ribbons. She wished devoutly that she had never come. Who could have supposed that her pleasure jaunt would end like this? She cast quick glance at Jim The great, unfeelins umathaum. Never once had he asked her how she felt or if her fall had shaken her. An, Terry was the lad. Terry always knew what to do. And she had lost him lost him through her own folly Well. there was no good in thinking of that now, and she blinked hard to keep back the tears. It was near noon.

 There seemed no other way. and Jin muttered that it would suit him very well.
 And you, Clodah?"
 Tiff ye will take me-" she saiG humbly.
 4"Here's piece O bread for ye, Jim said Terry, "and bit O goats cheese Belike it will shtay !'e1lr hunger till help arrives. Don't ate it too fast he called back after he had helped Clodall up on to the seat beside him-"don't ate it too fast, for 'tis rich and likely to give ye the dyspepsia
 For awhile Clodah and Terry rode in silence. Then. ''Clodah, girl,' said Terry tenderly, "'tis churl 1 am at times. but meant nothing by it. Will ye forgive me for what said last night?''
 "Forgive ye,' cried CIodah-"f forgive ye! Oh, Terry, I'd rather ride with you and fifty pigs than with Jim Hagan and coach and four.''
