"a cowman?"
"a little of everything, | reckon" a
touch of returning bitterness in the
tone "a plainsman, who has punched
cattle, but my last job was govern
ment scout"
You look as though you might be
more than that" she said slowly.
The man flushed, his lips pressing
tightly together.
We'll, II may have BEEN" he con-
fessed unwillingly. Il started out all
right, but somehow | reckon | just
went adrift It's habit in this coun-
try"
Apparently those first words OF COM
ment had left her lips unthinkingly, for
she made no attempt to reply; merely
stood there directly facing him, her
clear eyes gazing frankly into his
own He seemed to actually see her
now for the first time, fairly-a sup
pie, slender figure, simply dressed,
with wonderfully expressive brown
eyes, a perfect wealth of dark hair, a
clear complexion with slight olive
tinge to it, strong, intelligent face,
not strictly beautiful, yet strangely
attractive, the forehead low and broad,
the nose straight. the lips full and in
clined to smile Suddenly vague re-
membrance brought recognition.
Why, know you now
Indeed" the single word note of
undisguished surprise.

familiar all the time, but couldn't for
the life of me connect up. You're

be afraid of me if you want 1t kept

dence, maybe two months ago. went
three times, mostly on your account.
You've got a great act. and you can
sing too"
She stood In silence, still looking
fixedly at him, her bosom rising and
falling, her lips parted as II to speak.
Apparently she did not know what to
do, how to act. and was thinking
swiftly.
Mr.. Keith" she said, at last in de-
cision. Il am going to ask you to blot
that all QUITO forget that you even
suspect me of being Christie Maclaire,
Of the Gaiety."
Why. certainly; but would you ex-
plain?"
There is little enough to explain. It
is sufficient that am here alone with
you. Whether | wish to or not, | am
compelled to trust myself to your pro-
lection. You may cali me Christie
Maclaire, or anything else you please;
you may even think me unworthy re-
spect. but you possess the face of a
gentleman, and as such | am going to
trust you-I must trust you Will you
accept my confidence on these
terms ?"
Keith did not smile; nor move
Weak from hunger and fatigue, he

peal awoke all that was strong and
sacrificing within him. although her

full purport Finally he Strengthened

he gasped weakly, "if--if you will
only give one return"
"One return ?-what?"
Food; we have eaten nothing for
sixty hours"
Her face, which had been so white,
flushed to the hair. her dark eyes soft

at the slender, gray clad figure. the al
most girlish face under the shadowing
dark hair, expecting the marvellous
vision to vanish. Surely this could
not be real! A woman, and such
woman as this here, and alone, of all
places! He staggered from weakness,
almost terror, and grasped the table
to hold himself erect. The rising
wind came swirling in through the
open door, causing the fire to send
forth spirals of smoke, and he turned.
dragging the dazed negro within, and
swapping the latch behind him. When
he glanced around again he fully. be-
lieved the vision confronting him
would have vanished But no! there
she yet remained, those wide-open,
frightened brown eyes, with long lash
es half hiding their depths, looking d.
rectly into his own; only now she had
slightly changed her posture, leaning
toward him across the table. Like
flash he comprehended that this was
reality-fiesh and blood-and, with
the swift instinct of a gentleman, his
numbed, neryeless fingers jerked off
his hat, and he. bowed bareheaded be-
fore her.
Pardon me-" he said, finding his
voice with difficulty. Il fell over the
step, but-but didn't expect to find
a woman here"
He heard her quick breathing, mark
ed slight change in the expression OF
the dark eyes, and caught the glitter
of the freight on a revolver In her
lowered hand.
What did you expect to find?"
Il hardly knew" he explained lame
ly; I'VE stumbled on this hut by acct
dent. I didn't know there was a
cabin in all this valley"
Then you are not here for any
purpose? to meet with any one?"
mo; we were lost, and had gone
into camp up above. when we discov-
cred your light"
Where do you come from?"
Keith hesitated just an instant, yet
falsehood was never easy for him, and
he saw no occasion for any deceit
now.

What brought you here?"
I'VE started for the Bar X ranch
down below, on the Canadian; got
caught In a sand-storm, and then just
drifted. do not know within twenty
miles OF where we are"
She drew a deep breath Of uncon-
cealed relief
Are you alone?"
The negro and Yes: and you
haven't the slightest reason to be
afraid OF us-we're square"
She looked at him searchingly, and
something in Keith's clean-cut face
seemed to bring reinsurance, conf
dence In the man.
Il am not afraid" she answered,
coming toward him around the short
table. tOnly it is SO lonely here, and
you startled me, bursting In without
warning. But you look all right, and
am going to believe your story.
What is your name?"

News Of the Week From vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
JUDGE COWAN IS ACQUITTED
Senate Sitting as Court of Impeach-
ment Finds Him Not Guilty
on All Charges.

Judge John F. Cowan, on trial before
the senate sitting as a court of i'm
parchment, was acquitted at the hands
of that body, when President Burdick
announced to the respondent that he
had been found not guilty upon each
and every one of the charges and
specifications contained in the articles
Of impeachment presented to the SEN
ate against him by the house of rep
resentatives.
The verdict of the senate was made
certain after two and a half hours of
%balloting, in which there was a total
of seventy-nine roll calls. Only once
die the prosecution ever secure an
even break with the defense, that be-
ing on a charge of purchasing liquor
in a drug store, when twenty-three
voted guilty and twenty-three voted
not guilty. On every other specifica-
ton the respondent was given a ma
jority vote, while on some the vote
was unanimous.
On the charge of drunkenness, dis
pooCu VI ITO LIZ HlSuSSL NOIc III
conviction was twenty-one, which
went down as low as unanimous for
acquittal.
Only three senators voted to convict
on the charge of habitual drunken
ness. OF the charge of delaying cases
the votes in the forty ballots that
were taken on each of the several
specifications never went higher than
twenty for conviction, while in a ma.
jority portion of those cases the re.
spondent received a vote of two to
one.
On the charge of presenting false
certificates to the state auditor, the
vote was twenty-eight not guilty and
eighteen guilty.
When President Burdick announced
the verdict of the impeachment court,
with Judge Cowan standing before
the court, cheer upon cheer rang
through the big chamber from the
galleries and foyers, filled with crowds
of interested spectators, who had
watched the final act of this dramatic
case, the most remarkable the state
has seen. 1t was fully five minutes
before President Burdick was able to
restore order.

river banks in direct line Of the fire.
Colonel Steever OF the Fourth United
States cavalry protested to both
armies against the fire into American
territory and it lessened considerably
thereafter.
Nearly 1000 American troops were
massed on the border keeping crowds
