deceive my girl without my being
named in the funeral that will follow"
You are only a distant and roman
tic figure to Lea part Of the dead
past" said Cavanagh. "She remem-
bers you as a bold rider and a
drously brave and chivalrous father"
"She must never know. You must
promise never to tell her."
81 promise that" Cavanagh said, and
Edwards went on:
IF l could bring something to her
prove to her Pm still a man-it might
do to tell her, but I'm a branded man
nov and an old man, and there's no
hope for me l worked in one Of the
machine shops down there, and it took
the life out of me. Then, too, l left a
bad name here in the Fork. know
that. Those big cattlemen fooled me
into taking their side of the war. l
staked everything l had on them, and
then they railroaded me out of the
county. SO, you see, I'm double cross
ed, no matter where l turn"
Every word he uttered made more
apparent to Cavanagh that Lee Vir-
ginia would derive nothing but pain
and disheartenment from a knowledge
that her father lived. "She must be
spared this added burden of shameful
Inheritance" he decided.
The other man seemed to under
stand something Of the rangers indig-
nant pity, for he repeated: 81 want
you to swear not to let Lee know I'm
alive, no matter what comes. She
must not be saddled with my record.
Let her go on thinking well Of me.
Give me your word" He held out an
insistent palm.
Ross yielded his hand, and in spite
Of himself his tenderness for the bro
ken man d%eepened. The sky vas dark
ening in the west, and, with a glance
upward, he said, 81 reckon we'd better
make your camp soon or you'll be
chilled to the bone" ,
They mounted hastily and rode
away, each feeling that his relation
ship to the other had completely
changed. Wetherford marveled over
the evident culture and refinement of
the ranger. Hes non too good for
her, no matter who he is" he said.

look Ike q man who has seen better
days"
Edwards, chatting his thin fingers to
warm them, made reluctant answer,
Its a long story, Mr.. Ranger, and it
concerns a whole lot of other people
some of them decent folks-so I'd
rather not go into it."
John B%arleycorn was involved. l
reckon"
Sure thing. He's generally always
in it."
You'd better take my gloves. It's
likely to snow in half an hour. Go
ahead. I'm a younger man than you
are"
The other made a decent show Of re-
sistance, but finally accepted the offer,
saying: you certainly are white t.
me. | want to apologize for making
tnat attempt to sneak away that night.
l had a powerful good reason for not
staying any longer"
Ross smiled a little. you showed
bad j~udgment-as it turned out"
I sure did. That girl can shoot. Her
gun was steady as a doorknob. She
filled the door. Where did she learn to
hold a gun like that?"
Her father taught her, so she said"
She wouldn't remember mean old
cuss like me-but I've seen her with
Wetherford when she was a kidlet. |
never thought she'd grow up into such
a queen. She's a wonder. Lie looked
sick to me. She ought to send her girl
away or get out. AS you say, the Fork
Is no kind of a place for such a girl"
He spoke with a good deal of feel
ing, and the ranger studied him with
deepening interest. He had taken on
dignity in the heat Of his protest, and
in his eyes blazed something that was
both manly and admirable.
You're just the kind of a figure to
catch a girls eye. She likes you. l
could see that. but you've got a good
opinion of yourself. You're an edu-
Gated man. Do you intend to marry
herr"
See here, Mr.. Sheep Herder. you
better ride on up to your camp" And
Ross turned to mount his horse.
"Wait a minute" called the other
man, and his voice surprised the ran
ger with a note of authority. Il was
terribly taken with that girl, and 1
owe you a whole lot, but I've got to
know one thing. l can see you're full
of her and jealous as a bear Of any
other sutton. Now, l want to know
whether you intend to marry her or
whether you're just playing with her"
Ross was angry now. what l in
tend to do is none of your business"
The other man was suddenly ablaze
with passion. His form had lost it's

stoop. His voice was firm. II merely
want to say that if you fool that girl
I'll kill you!"
Ross stared at him, quite convinced
that he had gone entirely mad. That's
mighty chivalrous of you, Mr.. Sheep
Herder," he replied cuttingly, but I'm
at a loss to understand this sudden in
dignation on your part"
You needn't be. I'm her father!"
Cavanagh fairly reeled before this
retort. His head rang as if he had
been struck with a club. He per-
ceived the truth of the mans words
instantly. He gasped. Good God,
man, are you Ed Wetherford?"
The answer was quick, That's who
l am" Then his voice changed. But
I don't want the women to know Pm
alive. | didn't intend to let anybody
know it. All the same, | mean it. If
you or any man tries to abuse her I'll
kill him! I've loaded her up with
trouble, as you say, but I'm going to
do what l can to protect her now that
I'm in the county again"
Ross, confused by this new compli-
cation in the life of the girl he was be-
ginning to love, stared at his compan-
ion in dismay. Was it not enough that
Virginia'S mother should be a Slattern
and a ~termagant? At last he spoke.
"Where have you been all these
years?"
"In the Texas pen I served nine
years there"

His pony plodded Slowly, and the
afternoon was half spent before be
came in sight of the long. low log cab
in which was the only home be pos
sessed in all America. For the first
time since he built it the station seem
ed lonely and disheartening. Would

self. And if she consented to do so
could l be sc selfish as to exact such
sacrifice? No; the forest ranger in
these attitudes must be young and
heart free; otherwise his life would be
miserably solitary"
He was just dishing out his rude
supper when the feet Of a horse on
the log bridge announced a visitor.
With a feeling Of pleasure as we'll
as relief he rose to greet the stranger,
ANY visitor is welcome this night"
he said.
The horseman proved to be his for
mer prisoner, the old man Edwards,
who slipped from his saddle with the
never failing grace of the COW man
and came slowly toward the cabin.
He smiled YEARLY as he said: I'm on
your trail, Mr.. Ranger, but | bear no
malice. You were doing your duty.
Can you tell me how far it is to Am
bros Campo"
There was something forlorn in the
mans attitude. and Cavanagh's heart
softe2ed. Turn your horse into the
corral and come to SUPPER" be com-
handed with western bluntness.
''We'll talk about all that later"

Twenty miles of most difficult trail
lay between Cavanagh'S cabin and
this spot. To carry the sick man or
his hors;. would not only be painful to
the sufferer. but dangerous to the res
cuer, for if the Basque were really i'll
of smallpox contagion would surely
follow. On the other hand, to leave
him to die here unaided seemed inhu-
man, impossible.
There is only one thing to do" he
called to WetEerford. land that is for
me to ride back to the station and
bring up some extra bedding and my
own tent and 81 camp down beside
you"
"All right. but remember I've estab-
lished a quarantine. I'll crack your
head if you break over the line an
inch"
There was no longer any feeling of
reaching up or reaching down between
the two men-they were equals. Weth-
erford, altogether admirable. seemed
to have regained his manhood as he
stood in the door of the tent confront
ing the ranger. ''This Basque amt
much of a find: but. as you say. he's
human, and we can't let him lie here
and die. I'll stay with him till you
can find a doctor or till he dies"
Il take off my hat to you," respond
ed Cavanagh. "YOu are a man."
Once back at his cabin after leaving
Wetherford. Cavanagh set himself to
cooking some food to take back with
him to the peak. He brought in his
pack horse and burdened him with
camp outfit and utensils and extra
clothing. He filled his pockets with
such medicines as he possessed, and
so at last, just as night was falling, he
started back over his difficult trail.
Wetherford met him at the door, no
longer the poor old tramp, but a priest,
one who has devoted himself to
Christ s service.
"How is he?" asked the ranger.
"Delirious," replied the herder. 1--WE
had to hold him to his bed. I'm glad
you've come. It's lonesome up here.
Don't come too near. Set your tent
down there by the trees. l can't have

"I've got some food and some extra
clothing for you"
"Put 'em down here. and in the
morning drive these sheep away. That
noise disturbs the dago, and l don't
like 1t myself; they sound lonesome
and helpless. That dog took 'em away
for awhile, but brought 'em back
again. Poor devil, he don't know what
to think of it ALL"
Ross did as Wetherford commanded
him to do and withdrew a little way
down the slope and without putting
up his tent rolled himself in his blan-
kets and went to sleep.

Sad Finish of the Career of the Great

Late hours, unWearied vigils, ever
lasting labor. the effects Of chills, damp
and exposure, in the hard life he led
a life alternating between brilliant
passages and the most loathsome
drudgery, between rosy anticipations
of fortune and inevitable and eternal
disappointments-had their effects on
the vigorous constitution of Mozart.

five years old-he fell into i'll health,

LIfe RInas on a Mountain.

An extraordinary example of the way in which a mountain may afford on small scale an image of the earth's climates, arranged in success lively higher circles, has been found in the San Francisco peaks.
 These ancient volcanoes rise out of a plateau having a mean elevation of 1000 feet above sea level. The peaks are encircled with zones of vegeta- ton, which run almost like contour lines around them.
 Between $500 and $500 feet the yellow pine is the dominant tree. From $500 to 1O,SOO feet the Douglas fir. the silver fir, the cork fir, and the aspen share the available ground. Be tween 10,300 and 11,500 feet the En, gelmann spruce and the fox-tail pine take possession, and ascent to the tree limit.-Scientific American.
