and can stay only a few minutes
longer"

claimed his hostess.
Il must be on my own precinct by
daylight" he replied. "The supervisor
has an eye on me-"
Mrs. Redfield explained to Lee yir-
ginia. "He rode fifty miles over the
| mountains

does that matter when I'm in the COM
pany of such charming ladies?" he

| Mrs. Redfield knew the true reason
for his coming and was not at all
pleased. 'for with all Lees personal
charm" she said to her husband, 'she
is socially beneath Ross Cavanagh even
in state where social barriers are
few"
"COme out on the veranda," suggest

Lee accepted innocently, but as the
young people left the room Mrs. En-

creature that keeps the Wetherford ho-

home of one of her dearest friends in
Chester She was at once exalted and
humbly grateful.
I'VE dine at T." Mrs. Redfield was
saying. 80 you can take a cup of tea
without spelling your dinner. Will you
venture it?"
"lf you please"
Every well. come down soon and I'll
have 1t ready. Mr. Redfield, I'm sure.
will want some"
Virginia's heart was dancing with
delight of this home as she came down
the stairs a little later. AS they talked
Mrs. Redfield studied the girl with in
creasing interest and favor and soon
got at her point Of view. She even Sc
cured little more of her story which
matched fairly well with tie account
her husband had given. Her preju-
dices were swept away. and she treat
ed her young guest as one we'll born
and well educated woman treats an
other.
At last she said: 1--WE dress for din
ner. but any trock you have will do.
We are not ironclad in our rules.
There will be some neighbors in, but
It ism t in any sense a party"
Lee Virginia went to her room borne
high upon a new conception of the pos
sibilities of the west. 1t was glorious
to think that one could enjoy the re-
finement, the comfort, of the east at
the same time that one dwelt within
the inspiring shadow of the range.
Her hands were a-tremble as she put
on the bright muslin gown which was
all she had for evening wear. She
felt very much like the schoolgirl
again. and after she had done her best
to look nice she took a seat in the little
rocker with intent to compose herself
for her meeting with strangers Il
wish we were dining without visitors"
she said as she heard a carriage drive
up. A little later galloping horse en-
tered the yard and stopped at the door.
She heard voices in the hall and
among them one with very English
accent. one that sounded precisely like
those she had heard on the stage.
At last she dared wait no longer and,
taking courage from necessity. de-
scended the stairs. a pleasant picture
of vigorous yet somewhat subdued
maidenhood.

CHAPTER VIII.

THE CASE OF LEE VIRGINIA AND ROSS.
YEE and Ross stood In silence on the
Redfieid veranda. There was no
moon, and the mountains rose
IL darkly. a sheer wall at the end
Of the garden. their tops cutting into
the starry sky with dull edge, over
which a dim white cone peered.
''That snow peak is Wolftooth and
thirty miles from here and at the head
of my beat" said the ranger after
pause as they leaned against the
railing and looked away to the south.
81 20 up that ridge which you see
family at the left of the main can
yon and through that deep notch
which is above timber line
The girls eyes widened with awe of
the big. silent. dark world he indicat-
ed. Aren't you afraid to start out
on such trip alone-I mean. don't
you dread it?"
"I'll be sorry to start back. yes. but
not because of the dark. I've enjoyed
my visit here so much 1t will be hard
to say good night"
st seems strange to me that you
should prefer this wild country to Eng
land"
"Do you like the east better than the
west?"
"In some ways: but. then, you see,
was born out here"
so was IL mean to say l was re-
generated out here. The truth Is I
was good deal of scapegrace when
l left England. was always for
hunting and horses, and naturally
came directly to the wild west coun-
try, and here I've been ever since.

finally forest ranger. reckon I've

derby"
Enderby turned out to be the owner
of the voice with the English accent
which Lee Virginia had heard in the
hall. but he was very nice. and a mo-
ment later Mrs. Redfied entered with
Mrs. Enderby. large lady with
smiling face. Then a voice she knew
spoke from behind her: II don't need
a presentation. Miss Wetherford and
! have already met"
She turned to meet Ross Cavanagh,
the young ranger.
How did you get here?" she asked
in wonder.
81 rode across the hills. It's not
far"
He. too. was in evening dress. and as
she stared at him in surprise he laugh
ingly protested. please don't scruti-
nize this coat too closely. It's the only
one I've owned for ten years. and this
is tile only house In which I'd dare to
wear it,"
One of the guests was State Senator
Bridges. farmerlike elderly man
wearing badly fitting serge suit. He
vas markedly western. So was his
wife. who looked rather uneasy and
hot.
Virginia and Ross. being the only
young folk at the table. were seated
together. and Enderby remarked pri-
vately. ROSS. you're in luck"
II know / am" he replied heartily.
He was. as Redfield had said, high
" susceptible. made SO by his solitary
life in the mountains, and to be seated
close beside this maid of the valley
stirred his blood to the danger point
1t was only by an effort of the will
that he kept in touch with the conver
satiOn.
81 hadn't the least thought of seeing
you here" said Virginia. "How die
you happen to Gomez"
"Redfield telephoned me at the mill
and l came at once. / haven't beer
here since May, and / just thought It
take a half day off. Luckily my un
derstudy was with me. left him 'or
the job.
He did not tell her that she was the
principal reason for this sudden de
scent upon Elk Lodge, and no one but
Redfield knew the killing ride he had
taken in order to be In at the begin
ming of the dinner. The girls face
and voice. especially her voice. had
been with him night and day as he
went about his solitary duties Hel
life problem had come to fill his mind
to a disturbing degree, and he was
eager to know more of her and OF hel
struggle against the vice and vui
9arity Of the Forks.
