does not know you and never heard of
you before, and that he has not been
looking for you in the mountains or
anywhere else"
AS Shirley spoke these words very
slowly and distinctly she questioned
for the first time Chauvenet's position.
Perhaps. after all, the mountaineer had
real cause of grievance. 1t seemed
wholly unlikely, but while she listened
to the mans reply she weighed the
matter judicially. They were in an un-
frequented part of the mountains.

ly explored. The mountaineer was
saying:
Mountain folks air slow, and we
don't know much, but stranger don't
ride through these hills more than once
for the scenery. The second time he's
got to tell why, and the third time
well, miss. you kin tell the little fella'
that there amt no third time"
Chauvenet flushed, and he calculated
hotly:
Il have never been here before in

The man dropped the rifle into his
arm without taking his eyes from
Chauvenet. He said succinctly, but
still with his drawl:

"My friend" she said, II am Miss

Chauvenet started to speak, but Shir-

spoke again to the mountaineer in her
most engaging tone:
I'VE are both mountaineers, you and

pie to be carried Off to Jail. Isn't that
so? Now let this gentleman ride away.
and l shall stay here until have quite

She slgnaled Chauvenet to mount,
holding the mystified and reluctant
mountaineer with her eyes. Her heart
was humping fast. and her hand
shook a little as she frightened her
grasp on the rein. She addressed Chau-
venet in English as a mark OF good
faith to their captor.
