feared. Rebecky understood, and she.
too, feared. Perhaps 1t wasn't fear
she felt. but rather the old call OF
the Indian blood. But, anyway, on
the morning when Sandy dragged
down the dusty Winchester from the
wall, oiled 1t up, and filled the cham
bers. she showed sense. He was Just
crook Of his arm, his eyes fixed to-
ward the other gulch, when she
stopped him, and said in Indian, which
they sometimes used when talking to-
gether: mot that way, brother. 1t
would do the boy no good, nor bring
him back to you and me. Peace
pipes and the Great Spirit can make
smooth rough trail" He didn't resist
when she took the rife from his
hands, and stood quietly thinking, as
cartridge after cartridge was elected
by her hand, to rattle, UNDECIDED, on
the cabin floor.
Sandy finally went down across the
gulch and up 10 the brow of the op-
posite hill, where he could look on
that other cabin. He was hungry for
a sight Of his boy. On the doorstep,
dirty. ankempt, and detected. sat lit
tie Eods, while at his feet, covering
in fear OF something, sat a three
legged dog, which had already found
the way across the hills.
Mods father didn't seem to like the
dogs presence. He was puttering
around at something, when Sandy
sprawled on top OF the ridge and
peering over first saw him, then he
came over to Mods. shook him, and
when the dog bristled, gave him
kick. The dog wanted to fight, but
the man beat him of to safe dis
lance, while Mods apparently cried
Mods father then slapped him.
And the man came pretty near go
ing out of the game about that min.
ute. On top of the ridge. long. red
haired fellow had shut his teeth

"or I'll put 1t in you clear up to the
hilt."
The stranger ran away, but in this
last move Sandy had practically ad-
mitted his own defeat. Had prac-
tically admitted that he knew the
man was within his rights. Other
wise, why Rebecky's denial, and then
her attempt to decide the question
at the point of the knife? That was
convincing.
He turned into the cabin, an old
cid man; dropped on his knees over
Mods, who was looking at a picture
book. gathered him into his arms, and
kind does when he goes all to pieces
the big, dry. shaky kind. where the
heart Jumps and jerks, and tries to
hammer its way out of the body.
The next day the sheriff came
alone. He knew Sandy and loved
him, and dreaded the trip. He knew
that to bring posse would mean a
fight in which many men would die.
He knew that old Sandy Smith. I'M
less influenced by reason alone,
would uniiinchingiy fight a regiment
of officers to hold the thing he loved.
But Sandy and the sheriff were
friends. so It didn't come to that
Sandy, old friend" he said, when
Sandy had shut down the hydraulics

sheriff than to have to tell you But
you've got to give the boy to his
father. The mans got the proof and
the order of court for bis child. You
might kill me. or dozen other better
men who come after. but you can't
kill the law. You know that! It's
the one thing that follows a man in
open fight, and is unwhippable."
So it was that the big tamaracks
moaned that night, and the flowers
around the cabin dropped, while in
company with them an old squaw

The man didn't really know Sandy,
you see, or he wouldn't have broken
1t SO confidently. Most men would
have sooner gone against a Kansas
cyclone, or q nest of rattlers, or q
band of Apaches, than to stir up
Sandy Smith. But this fellow didn't
know him, and, to tell the truth. for
once Sandy was taken of his feet.

knows 1t. i left him with her three
years ago-over in Idaho. She'll tell
you so. She has to tell you-it's the
truth"
Sandy turned and looked at Re-
becky, and she looked at this stran-
ger. But her face never changed a
muscle. They all looked at her quite
a while; then Sandy woke up For
the first time he was rough with her.
He made three quick steps. leaned
over and grabbed her SO tightly by
the arm that she WINGED, In spite Of
her Indian blood, and said:
"Rebecky, for Gods sake. tell me!
Did ye ever see this man before?"
Everything was quiet for what
seemed another long time. The man
grinned at her, as If pleased over all
the trouble be was making, and she
looked him straight In the eyes, and
as she looked, her eyes changed. In
stead Of having quiet, contented
look, like happy old folk have, they
grew narrow and black and sharp
and young. Then she turned to

had stood curiously looking at all of

arms, and trudged through the cabin
door.
you see. you're mistaken, stran-
ger" Sandy drawled gently, with
big sigh of relief. "She don't know
you. You CANT have the boy"
The stranger began to argue, in a
peaceable sort of way, and he and
Sandy sat down on log. Then Sandy
heard something "slip-slipping" over
the grass behind him, and turned
round in time to see Rebecky with
hunting knife, about ready to end the
strangers claim on Mods, or anything
else in the world. She was all In
dian again, and was there to kill.
Sandy grabbed her, and, although she
was withered, old. bent, and small,
and he a giant in strength. 1t was
about all he could do to hold her on.
She fought like a wildcat trying to
get at this intruder.
Sandy got the knife away from her
and turned to the man.
The fellow sneered. and said: put
the knife into her. why don't you?
She's nothin' but a lynn old squaw."
That started Sandy to boiling. and

OF course, Sandy and Rebecky

Mods father had taken his claim. But
it was several days before either
Sandy or Rebecky tried to see the

In the meantime, Sandy didn't

MAINE ELECTION
STILL IN DOUBT
While Secretary of States Reports
Indicate Apparent Majority of
1855 For Repeal.

Portland, Me, Sept. 14.--on the face
of the returns from Mondays special
election on the question of the repeal
of constitutional prohibition, collected
and compiled by the Associated Press
Maine remains prohibition by 365 votes.
The first returns received have been
verified and revised in all but seven
instances.
So close was the vote that even last
night, when most of the first unofficial
returns had been revised by mail re-
ports from town clerks, the result still
is in doubt The secretary of states
report late last night showed an ap-
parent majority of 155 for repeal
An error discovered in the report
given officially by the clerk of the town
of Limestone contributed largely to
the uncertainty as to the outcome of
the election. 1t was discovered that in
reporting the vote in the town, the
clerk returned to the Associated Press
over his signature:
For repeal, II; against repeal, 175.'
To the secretary of state he reported
just the reverse. For repeal, 175;
against, II.
OF thirteen towns not officially re-
ported, votes supplies by press returns,
four were received by mail from the
clerks and nine are the early figures,
which it has not since been possible to
verify. The figures of the total vote
as furnished from the office of the sec
retary of state, including the thirteen
towns supplied to Mr.. Davis from press
returns, are:
For repeal, 6O,525; against repeal
6O,37O.
Between the Associated Press re-
turns as revised almost completely by
postal card reports from town and
city clerks and the figures of the sec
retary of state, there is a marked dis
crepancy, the press returns Indicating
at late hour last night a majority of
347 against repeal
The total votes as indicated by the
Associated Press returns:
For repeal, 60,241; against repeal.
60,588
In view of the closeness of the vote,
it was believed today that only the
official canvass of the vote by the gov
ernor and council would definitely de-
termine the issue.

them as 'an insiduous, popular

was o nhis feet in a moment with an
mpassioned defense of his position.
Governor o Neal spoke vehemently
for ten minutes, bowed, and without
a word walked through a easement
window to the piazza fronting the
ocean. He did not re-enter the con-
vention hall for fifteen minutes, and
took no further part in the discussion.
When the conference ended, how
ever, Governor Wilson grasped Mr.

he did not wish to be misunderstood
