third decision was to go out into the
orchard and climb a tree. but she had
only started when she changed direc-
lions and wandered down the country
highway without definite aim or OBJ
ject In view except to have her pout
out. She had a stick In her hand as
she walked. and the thistles and may
weeds lost their heads as she came
within striking distance.
There are girls who look horrid when
they pout and wish they had never
been born, but Susie Cline was not
one Of them.
Half a mile down the road stood
what was called the old bachelors
place. The FIVE acres and cottage were
the property Of Mr.. Wayne Ashley.
twenty-five aud unmarried. He lived
In the city in the winter and in his
country retreat in summer. He was
called a recluse. and there was a story
to the effect that he had loved and lost
and was the enemy of all womankfnd.
Had Mr.. Ashley chosen to explain to
the country folks he would have told
them that certain flowers and vege-
tables were fads of his and he was
out there to grow them and comlnu-
nicate results to certain horticultural
and agricultural societies. In fact. he
was the partner of a leading florist in
the city. though his name and money
were hidden under that Of eco" No
woman had ever broken his heart or
smashed his idols.
Miss Cline and Mr.. Ashley had never
met. If she referred to him it was as
a poke" He didn't refer to her at
all. AS the girl reached his place on
this day her chin was in the air. Had
she belonged to the other sex 1t would
have been said that she had a chip on
her shoulder.
In the 'poke's" front yard grew a
blue h~ollyhock. the result Of one Of
his experiments. Miss Susie opened
the gate and walked in for a closer
look. Seeing no one about. she walked
to the real Of the house to look at the
vegetable garden. A feeling Of def
ance was mingled with her pouting.
Any other day she would not have
dared to open the gate. On this day
she was ready to defy the old bach
elOr.
"U-r-r-r-r! Bark, bark"
Miss Susie looked to her left. to
see a big watchdog coming for her
through the sugar beets. Ten feet
away was a small tool house, with the
door swinging open. Scarcely con-
scious Of what she did, the girl made
two or three jumps, reached the. slel-
ter and pulled the door to. Five Gee
onds later the dog was leaping against
it and uttering growls to chill her
blood. She had just begun to beg and
plead with the dog to go away and let
her get back to the highway when
she heard a voice saying:
Good dog, Dick! Hold him there!
It's dollars to cents that you've got a
tramp for a prisoner"
Miss Susie wanted to cry out that
she was no tramp, but only G girl who
had come out to pout; but she could
not get the words out. The chip fell
from Ter shoulder and her teeth chat
tered.
Come out Of that. you tramp!" call
ed the mans voice after hushing the
dog.
"Oh. you won't. eh? Well. we'll see
about that. Watch him. Dick!"
The place was provided with a wind.
mill and water tank and garden hose.

the trouble, Conductor Driver objected
To the speed at which Delano was al
lowing his train to proceed and when
the former demonstrated with him re-
gardinc the matter, Delano had sud.
denly attacked him with the weapon
and had seriously injured him.
Dclano was arrested by the local
police and held for the sheriff of Davis
county, the fight having occurred in
that county.
According to Delano who was seen
at the police station, this morning, the
fight was largely the result Of the
overbearing demeanor OF Conductor
Driver. and instead of his having used a
fish plate, which is a steel bar foot
