Tremblingly she made change for the
fifty dollar gold certificate he handed

bills toward him.
"Aren't you rather young to be left

Autumn was dying in a blaze of
crimson and gold. Everywhere color
fairly rioted, from the vivid blue of the
cloudless arching sky, against which
the green Of scattered frs stood sharp
ly defined, down to the wind blown
leaves through which the old white
horse shuf1ed his slow way. Squire
Godfrey, Justice Of the peace for the
county and now out riding circuit, let
fall the reins while he gratefully in
hailed long breaths of the clear Octo-
Der air. The nuts must surely be
ripening.
From the woods on his left rang out
the merry voices of children, and in
voluntarily the squire smiled. In those
very woods forty years ago he and
Hetty had gone a-nutting-Hetty, with
her dancing roguisA brown eyes, her
plain little calico frock and the deep
sunbonnet always hanging by one
string. How distinctly he could see
the little figure!
Then the shaggy gray eyebrows met
III d ueuVy IFOWn over Iue Keen Dlle
eyes. What was Hetty to him but the
girl who had fouted and Knocked him,
driving him away from home for these
wretched ten years! Well, he had
come back and made a success of his
life. and the squire's frown smoothed
itself as he reflected on the prosperity
which was his. And Hetty had mar
ried Johnson Wetherby, who had died
not long after, leaving her with one
boy to educate and are for. She had
done it well, admitted the squire
g%rudgingly. But that young John
should have presumed to court his
Susie! The squire's frown became a
scowl as he whipped up the old white
horse. He would have none Of that
nonsense.
Luckily Susie was a good girl. She
submitted quietly enough to the thun-
dering pronunciamento launched at
her head by the irate squire. She was
mot to see Wetherby, not to write to
him, except the one letter conveying
her fathers decision.
"And you cannot marry him with
out my consent for three years yet"

"I'll wait around for awhile" he said,
with a smile. II have plenty Of time.
and with pleasant company He
bowed courteously to Bertha.
II can't put you out" she said. with
a toss of her head.
"If l intrude." he suggested, II can

This was just what Bertha did not
want, If he was planning to rob the
vaults and was waiting until his o II
federates came up, there was a chance
that some one might come in before
then who could help her secure him.
He answered to the description of
Butte Bill. who led a gang of cut
threats and whose picture adorned a
handful posted on the inner side Of
the wire screen. She fastened to make
pleasant reply, and presently she had
forgotten the character Of her visitor
in the charm Of his conversation.

Bertha glanced at the $4,000 Re
ward on the circular and made up her
mind. Butte must not be permitted
to escape. She caught up the gun
from its position on the shelf and slip
ped out Of the cage. There was an
opening in the counter near the front
door, and just as she reached it she
whipped out her gun.
