 "Oh, Will" cried Miss Matte, T can't think of you like that-rolling in the gutterv' Her voice shook and broke off. Her knowledge of the ef- feet of stimulants was limited to Fair fields one drunkard-old Tommy Me Kee, a disreputable old Irishman-but drunkenness was the worst vice in her world.
 Rolling in the gutter" cried Red in astonishment. "Why, girl, what for would roll in the gutter? Whats the fun in that? Jiminy Christmas! l wanted to walk on the telegraph wires. There wasn't anything in that town high enough for me. What put gut ters into your head?"
 "I-I supposed people did that when they were-,like that"
 q wouldn't waste my money on whisky if that's all the inspiration ] got out of it," replied Red.
 "Well, of course don't know about those things, but I wish you'd promise me one thing"
 "Donew cried Red. "What is tt?"
 q wish you'd promise me not to touch whisky again."
 "Phew That's a pretty big order!' He stopped and thought minute. If you'll make that never touch 1t when l it ain't needed,' leaving when it's , needed to what's my idea of the square thing on promise, I'll go you, Mattie. There's n: hand.'
 "Oh, I shouldn't have said anything at all, Will. I have no right but it seemed such a pity such splendid man-I mean-I think You mustn't promise me anything, Will," stammer- ed Miss Mattie, shocked at her own daring.
 "Here" he cried, "I'm no little kid! When I promise I mean it! AS for your not having any right, ain't we all there is? You've got to be mother and sister and aunt and everything to me. I ain't as young as I have been, Hattie, and miss she-ways terrible at times. Now, put out your fin like good pard- her, and here goes for no more rhine caboos for Chanta Seechee Red-time I quit drinking, anyhow" he slipped a ring off his little finger. Here, hold out your hand" said he. 'I'll put this on for luck and the sake of the prom ise-by- the same token, I've got Q

ed to herself in the safety Of the kitchen. And such splendid looking manw She felt pride of possession she had never known before. Nobody in Fairfield or vicinity had such q cousin as that. And Miss Matte went on joyfully fulfilling an inherited in- stinct to minister to the wants of some man. She said to herself there was some satisfaction in cooking for somebody else. But alack-a-day, Miss Mattie's ideas of the wants of some body else had suffered a Fairfield change. Nothing was done on large scale in Fairfield. But she sat the lit tie cakes-lucky that she had made them yesterday-and the fried n1ush and the small pitcher of milk and the cold ham and the cold biscuit on the table with a pride in the appearance of the feast.
 Supports ready, Will," she said.
 Red responded instanter. He took look at the board and understood. He ate the little cakes and biscuit and said they were the durned best he ever tasted. He also took some pot cheese under misapprehension, swal- lowed 1t and said to himself that he had been through worse things than that. Then, when his appetite had just begun to develop, the inroads on the provisions warned him that it was time to stop. Meanwhile they had ranged the fields of old times at ran dom, and as Red took in Miss Hattie, pink with excitement and sparkling as to eyes, he thought, Blast the supper! It's a square meal just to look at her. If she ain't pretty good people, miss my guess"
 It was a merry meal. He had such a way of telling things! Miss Hattie hadn't laughed so much for years, and she felt that there was no one that she had known so long and so well as Cousin Will. There was only one jar ring note-Red spoke of the vigorous celebration that had been followed by the finding of gold. It was certainly well told, but Miss Mattie asked in soft horror when he had finished, You didn't get-intoxicated-Will"
 Did I?' said he, lost in memory and not noticing the tone. "Well, l put my hand down the throat of that mans town and turned her inside out! It was like as if Christmas and Fourth of July had happened on the same

moose on you now, and you're my prop

moose on you now, and you're my prop erty."
 This of course was only Cousin Wilps joking, but Miss Mattie noticed with a sudden hot flush that he had chosen the engagement flnger-in all ignorance, she felt sure. The last thing she could do would be to call his attention to the fact or run the risk of hurting his feelings by trans- ferring the ring; besides, 1t was pret- ty ring, a rough ruby in plain gold band-and looked very we'll where It was.
 Then they settled down for what Red called a good medicine talk. Miss Hattie found herself boldly speaking of little fancies and notions that had remained in the inner shrine of her soul for years, shrinking from the mat ter-of-fact eye of Fairfield; yet this big, ferocious looking Cousin Will seemed to find them both sane and in- | teresting, and as her self respect went up in the arithmetical her admiration for Cousin Will went up in the geo. metrical ratio. He frankly admitted weaknesses and fears that the males of Fairfield would have rejected scornfully.
 Miss Mattie spoke of sleeping up stairs, because she could not rid herself of the fear of somebody com ing in.
 q know just how you feel about that" said Red. My hair used to be on it's feet most of the time when we were in the hay camp at the lake beds. Gee whiz! The rattlers! We put hair ropes around-but them rattlers liked to squirm over hair ropes for exercise, One morning I woke up and there was crawler on my chest. For Gods sake, Pete! says to Antelope Pete, who was rolled up next me. come take my friend away! and I didn't holler' very loud neither. Pete was chain lightning in pants, and he grabs MT. Rattler by the tail and snaps his neck, but I felt lonesome in my inside till dinner time. You bet! know just how you feel exactly. I didn't have a mans sized nights rest while we was in that part of the country"
 It struck Miss Mattie that the cases were hardly parallel. "A rattlesnake on your chest, Will!' she cried, with her hands clasped in terror.

sat him down.
 I'm obliged to you, Mattie," he said l in all seriousness. ITO tell you the truth, I felt in need of little comfort ing-here I've come all this distance and, of course, heard about father and mother--but I couldn't believe 1t was true. Seemed as if they must be waiting at the old place for me to come back, and when I saw 1t all gone to ruin Well, then I set out to find somebody, and do you know, of all the family there's only you and me left? That's all, Matte, just us two! While l was growing up out west I kind of expected things to be standing still back here and be just the same as I left them-hum- We'll, how are you, anyhow"
 "I'm well, VIII, and'-laying her hand upon his, don't think I'm not glad to see you-please don't. I'm so glad, Will, can't tell you-but I'm all confused-so little happens here"
 'T shouldn't guess it was the liveliest place in the world. by the look of it," said Red. And as far as that's con- cerned, kinder don't know what to say myself. There's such heap to talk about it's hard to tell where to begin. But we've got to be friends, though, Mattie-we've just got to be friends. Good Lord. We're all there's left! Funny I never thought of such thing! Well, blast it! That's enough of such talk. I've brought you pres ent, Mattie." He stretched out leg that reached beyond the limits of the front porch and dove into his trousers pocket, bringing out buckskin sack. He fumbled at the knot minute and then passed it over, saying, You un- tie it-your fingers are sooplier than mine." Miss Mattie's fingers were shaking, but the knots finally came un- done, and from the sack she brought forth chain of rich, dull yellow Jumps fashioned into a necklace. It weighed q pound. She spread it out and looked at it astounded. Gracious, Will! Is that gold?' she asked.
 That's what" he replied. "The real article, just as it came out of the ground; dug it myself. That's tho

 reason I'm here. I'd never got money | enough to go anywhere farther than horse could carry me if I hadn't taken a fly at placer mining and hit l her to beat h-er-the very mischief"
 Miss Hattie looked first at the bar barrie, splendid necklace and then at the barbaric, splendid man. Things grew confused before her in trying to realize that it was real. What two planets so separated in their orbits as her world and his? She had the i'm agination that is usually lacking in small communities, and the feeling of a fairy story come true possessed her. 1 And now, Mattie," said he, q don't know what's manners in this part of the country, but I'll make free enough on the cousin part of 1t to tell you that could look at some supper with out fiinching. I've walked heap to- day, and ain't used to walking" Miss Mattie sprang up, herself again at the chance to offer hospitality.
 Why, you poor man. said she "Of course you're starved! It must be nearly s o'clock. I almost forget about eating, living here alone. You shall have supper directly. Will you come in or sit a spell outsider
 Reckon I'll come in." said Red Don't want to lose sight of you now that I've found you"
 It was some time since Miss Mattie had felt that any one had cared enough for her not to want to lose sight of her, and a delicate warm bloom went over her cheeks. She hurried into the little kitchen.
 'Mattier' called Red.
 What is It. Win?' she answered, coming to the door
