1T would be novelty and would. serve to

Austin opened his eyes very widely at this
talk; 1t was astonishing to hear people call
ed neighbors who lived all the way from
ten 10 hundred miles distant, and to think
that they would travel SO far for DAVIS pleas-
ure was most incredible.
In addition he was considerably exercised
over the allusion to the ghostly features of
Halloween. 1t was something new to him.
ana ne determined to fathom the mysteries
without delay.
So, while Martin, was sending out the ;nv;-
tations and making elaborate arrangements
for the coming. festival, Austin was diieently
pumping the old Scotchman.

MIR. Thorne nodded assent, and then went
out to attend to some affair on the ranch,
leaving Austin in better humor than he had
been for some time.
Although Ihorne's. ranch was great build
ing, more like a New England farmhouse
than Western ranch, and there was always
plenty of life and hustle, Austin found il dull
after the first month.
The cattle range was ten miles away, Mar
tin Thorne was twenty-five years old and
hardly ever home, and Austin's only compan-
ion was Dorcas. thirteen years old and inclin-
ed to be "snippy." By virtue of haying been
raised in Arizona, she was given to poking
fun at her cousin. and he didn't like it.
1t was true that he was wretched horse
man. but he could not see why that was an
objectionable offense. Somehow he could
not manage the rough bronchos and ponies,
and they seemed to know it, and threw him
at every occasion. OF course, this amused
Dorcas, who could ride bareback like cir
Gus queen.
"I wish could learn" Austin used to say
to Don McDermott, Mr.. Thorne's man-of-all-
work, who had been a daring cowboy in his
day, but, being crippled in stampede, was
now unable to mount a horse unassisted.
Nobody will teach you" said McDermott,
sagely. "You must Just keep trying and try
ing until you learn to stick IFS curious you
can't ride, being a farmers boy
"Tm not farmers boy" laughed Austin,
eff I did come from Vermont Everybody

boy. and never was on horseback until came
to Arizona"
"Well, well," said McDermott, consolingly,
you'll learn. Won't he, Miss Dorcas ?"
"He'd better if he wants to be cowboy"
replied Dorcas, in that "snippy" fashion Aus
tin objected to. 'When the cattle are ship
ned in the fall, Martin is going to take us on
exploring expeditions and then he'll have to
ride"
sI suppose so," said Austin, gloomily.
you'd better practice" warned Dorcas
Austin did practice. under the eyes of Nc
Dermott, and the opportunity to ride came
sooner than he expected. The cattle were
shipped East, and Martin having not so
much to do came in from the range and i'm
mediately organized a picnic.
Father" he began, opening the subject
at the dinner-table, what is Halloween
party?"
"a fun party, mostly" answered Mr..
Thorne. "All can remember is that we
ducked for apples and such nonsense, and
played games. There's lot of superstitious
stuff connected with the night but nobody
believes it nowadays"

was knocked on the head by the announce
ment from Mr.. Thorne that the entire family
must go to the picnic, which promised to be a
monstrous affair. Neither Dorcas nor. Aus
tin could think of any excuse to stay at home,
and SO they acquiesced with the best grace
they could. The picnic grounds were ten
miles south of the ranch, and it was decided
to start right after dinner, 80 as to put in
long afternoon; but, when the day came, Mar
tin and his father galloped off after breakfast
to receive the guests in the grove, and the
others started. as previously arranged.
Mrs. Thorne was driven over by McDer
mott in light wagon, while Austin and Dor
cas- followed on horseback.
For the first mile all went well, and then
Austin's horse began to caper around IN
distressing way.
Dorcas insisted that Austin was spurring
him unnecessarily. But Austin denied it;
and while they were arguing about it,, the
broncho gave a caper of extra power and va
riety and Austin found himself sitting IN
the sand. ,
As may be supposed. he was greatly cha
grined at the mishap, and Dorcas' laughter
did not tend to relieve his feelings
"My, what an awkward boy!" she cried,
"Tm not awkward" retorted Austin, as
he rose to his feet. sullenly "The horse is
vicious, and when catch him I'll whip him
we'll"
IL is not likely that the broncho understood
the meaning of this threat. 1t may be that
the bows menacing attitude alarmed him, or,
which is more likely, he wanted to enjoy his
freedom; but, at any rate, he declined to be
caught.
ealloped; when the boy tried coaxing, the
horse moved more slowly. but never allowed
his pursuer to get within bridle-length.
Dorcas watched the chase with unconceaied
enjoyment, and made no effort to assist un-
til Austin came to a full stop and said, an
grily:
"Oh, yes, he can," she said confidently
sT'Il show you!''
She galloped after the truant broncho who
allowed her to come quite close, and then ran
away, just as fast as he had from Austin. In
vain she called him by name, coaxed and
threatened by turns. The broncho was obdu-
rate.

could laughed in an irritating way. Give
me pear, Anstin."
There had been good supply Of pastry
and other viands taken in the wagon by Mrs
Thorne, and the only thing carried by Austin
and Dorcas was basket of California fruit.
