 The engine whistle startled them shortly, and brakeman came with a blanket for Alfred, his coat. and Esther's bags and cloak.
 Will the fireman live?s Alfred asked, while Esther helped him into his eeat
 We think so, but can't tell surely of course Poor fellow, He's con scious now" The sympathy in the mans tones brought Esther's tears

 The brakeman waved him back, Miss Anthony, don't let him. He had pretty good shaking up himself; but that's nothing to what he did. No one knows how he ever pried that wheel off from poor Dooly's leg; but he did, and held it free till we came. the sun broiling him like a beefsteak, and Dooly begging all the time to be put out of his misery.

 Three shots rang out behind her. She heard the whizz of a bullet peril ously near, yet raced wildly on, every sense alert to keep her horses feet from pitfalls. No sounds followed her. She knew the man would not dare show himself, would probably hide from the other rider if possible; and the mare was putting the miles behind her iii marvelously few min utes.
 Esther began to breathe more free ly Near the town she slowed to a walk and looked back. Neither mis- creant nor horseman could be seen. She stopped to put herself to rights Her heart was beating fast, yet as much from the rapid riding as from fear, she told herself All had hap pened so quickly, it now scarcely seemed real. Dread of making a scene passed; and it nerved her to ride quiet ly up to the hotel
 Sally B. met her at the door in great excitement Mrs Gregory an Mrs. Harmon both telegraphed you to come on an see the show termorrer. I been hopin' ye'd fly in fore the train left. I got yer things all packed!a
 The train stood on the track less than a stones throw distant, it's time just up. The conductor came forward as Esther dismounted
 Will you go, Miss Anthony? I'll hold her ten minutes for you.
 Thank you. Yes, I'll go. Five min utes will do."
 With Sally B.'s help she changed to another gown and sped downstairs.
 You're lightning, surei" the con ductor said with respectful approval, as he took her bags. helped her into the high boycar made her as comfort able as he could, and went about his train work
 Following a half-hour behind the iron train. the little engine struggled noisily along for time, dragging it's string of loaded cars, when it came to a sudden halt on mountain-sid grade. Around curve and just be- yond, the track left the mountain and crossed a gorge over a trestle. The forward brakeman came running back with blanched face and ghastly mes sage
 The trestle's gone down! the iron trains wrecked and piled up down theret" he finished, pointing with trembling finger forward.

 Pm not hurt" Alfred interrupted, its scarcely a scratchl l must help the boys in the other car They
 The conductor interposed. Obey orders, Vincent. You're used up. We've help enough in there You've done your part"
 The two men, not needing his pro- test, lifted him into the cabbage-car.
 Now, Miss Anthony. let me help you in.'
 No, not now, thank you I've something to do first. You're not ready to start, are you?'
 No, it will be half-hour anyway; we must make one more trip to the wreck"
 T can get in by myself Don't think about me-" Even the conductor. accustomed to command, yielded to the finality in her voice, and hurried on.
 Can you sit against the car side a few minutes, Alfred? You won't faint?"
 "Faint?" he secuted Indeed, no. But where are you going? Don't leave me, Stellal" he called little wildly as she stepped back pace.
 Perplexities, embarrassments, were forgotten. In this solemn moment of tragedy they resumed their old rela- tions. unquestiening.
 'I'll be back in a minute. Here! You may keep this for mel" She tossed him her hat "A hat is a pretty sure anchor for a woman, isn't it?" she said, smiling up at him, and was out of sight around the end of the train
 She could not help the gayety in her voice. The world was alive once more Life was beautiful in spite of tine gre some sights in the car be- yond Since she could do nothing for them she would not think of them Alfred was here: hurt, yes. but not unto death, not even to great pain For one little moment she would self ishly hug her joy.
 Down in little swale, just before they had halted, she had noticed the bunch grass growing long and rank She flew at it, tore it up, handful by handful. till she had high pile, which she gathered in her arms and carried to the car. Pitching it in, she was off again, needless of Alfred's protest Three times she made the short jour ney, pausing at the door after the third load to catch her breath
 Aren't you coming in this time? You must let me help you," he said, partly rising, but falling back.
 No, no, Don't move You aren't able to; and if you do l won't eome!" she replied emphatically. though her face was shining Turn your head away. and don't look till 1 say .Herei'"
 'I can't turn away from you, Stel la!" he said whimsically, yet tender ly and her eyes dropped. Still, she did not move.
 "Oh, come, dearest. won't you? Don't wait so long. fll-I'll turn My true love sent me a letter to turn back my head Did you ever play Green Gravel when you were little tad? My head is turned back"
 Esther never knew how she man aged the climb through the great, gaping door, yards above the sloping ground; still. she was there, standing before him.
 He spoke no word, but gazed up into her tender, bending face Light speech that had bridged the first tense moments was impossible now Pain, misunderstanding, pride, prudence even the years, fled. She loved him, loved him, Nothing else counted.

CHAPTER XXI. Ambrosia in Arcadia.

Passengers and trainmen went for ward to investigate. Left alone, Esther leaned far out of the door and peered forward, but could see nothing of them. In front the train curved out of sight around the shoulder of the mountain. An undulating sweep of white sand and gray sage brush stretched on either side to the hori- zon-that was all. Breathless and ap- prehensive, she waited. She could hear the steady hiss of escaping steam, an occasional shout far beyond; for the rest, desert silence.
 It waselate in the afternoon, yet the sand reflected the heat in pulsing waves, burning her cheek She climbed down after little and walked forward, meeting one of the brake men.
 GO back, Miss Anthony It's no place for you-its not"
 "Oh, what is it?" she interrupted anxiously. "Is any one hurt? Can't I help?"
 No; not now. anyway No one can help one poor fellow; he's passed in his checks. We're trying to dig the other out before he dies
 Esther felt faint. yet kept pace with his hurrying steps.
 Miss Anthony, won't you please go into that car next? It's rough, but we'll need this for-for-" They were beside the rear car now.
 Yes, yes, I will know But can't I do something? Won't you"
 t.No, you can help most by staying right here-the conductor said so. But it may be hours-you'll roast in the car"
 Never mind me Don't wait-I'll manage
 He passed her and hurried into the car In a moment he ran by again with blankets, a basin, and a bucket of water
 The car he had designated was partly filled with a great pile of cab. bages, and looked rather impossible Esther sat down on the end of a tie in the shade of the train and waited Resourceful and efficient, the wom ans part was especially distasteful to her. Yet here obedience was evident ly the best service Still, the hours were long.
 But while the sky was yet red, vel come voices broke the spell Four men came around the curve, holding carefully by the corners a blanket litter supporting torn. bleeding form. Esther stepped between the cars, and with averted eyes waited for them to pass. With gentlest care they lifted him into the car. The sufferer moaned unconsciously, and Esther tried to be- lieve that he knew nothing of his pain. Four more men appeared with a laden blanket; this was a winding sheet. The men spoke no word, and were uncov- cred. Their burden, too, they bore on to the last car. Three more followed, one walking feebly, supported by the others, the conductor and brakeman of the supply train. He was pale, hat less and coatless, with a scarlet stain on neck and collar. Yet he was con scious. speaking freely.
 Don't mind me, he was saying.
 Alfred" Esther sprang toward the trio, and caught one limp hand swinging by his side.
 He strengthened with sudden vigor; a wave of color warmed his pale cheek. Stella. Stella," he repeated, and stood still, gazing at her

William C. Moore. aged 40. was shot
and seriously wounded by his sister.

senior, in the latter's home at No. 80

evening. Moore Is In Red Cross hos
rital with two bullet wounds, neither
OF which is thought TO be fatal. Mrs.
Rodney is prisoner in the matron's
department in police headquarters.
She says she Shot in self-defense.
Moore and his wife, sister of Mrs.
Rodney. and who is sometimes known
as May Whitney, had been living in
Mrs. Rodneys home for some time
until last Saturday, when she pu.
them out because OF their almost In
cessant drinking. she says, and took
another couple, Mr.. and Mrs. Lam
bert, in their place.
Early Monday evening, according 70
Mrs. Rodney's story, Moore came 10
her home ugly and intoxicated and
when asked what he wanted is said to
have replied: "A couple of bullets ont
of your revolver" With that he went
into bedroom and Mrs Rodney, sSs'
pecting that he meant 10 do her
harm, secured her revolver
The woman's story Is that presently
Moore came out of the bedroom with
a revolver In his hand and. fearful
that he would shoot, she turned her
own weapon on him after first dis
charging one bullet into the coal scuU-
tie to see If the revolver was work
Ing properly. One bullet struck

the skull, but IL did not reach the
brain. The other entered the right
arm above the elbow and the doctors
believe IT took an upward course
through the arm and lodged in his
right breast, as he is experiencing
considerable pain in that region.
AS Moore dropped. his weapon fell
from his hand, and he exclaimed:
We'll, you got me. didn't you?"
Mrs. Julia Lambert was the oI'y
witness and she tells substantially the
same story as Mrs. Rodney.
Mrs. Rodney herself notified the po-
lice of the shooting and the Detroit
ambulance was hurried to the scene.
She made no effort to get away and
accompanied Detectives High and Lar
kins willingly to police headquarters.

Moore declares that the shooting
was without provocation.
