And thereat she told him more OF
her ranch life in the days before her
father died. And Daylight was hugely
pleased with himself. They were get
ting acquainted. The conversation
had not Jagged in the full half hour
they had been together. When she
talked, he listened and followed her,
and yet all the while he was follow

for her to do, this riding astride.
and he didn't know, after all,
whether he liked 1t or not. His
ideas OF women were prone to be
old-fashioned; they were the ones he
had imbibed in the early day, frontier
life of his youth, when nc woman was
seen on anything but a side-saddle.
He had grown up to the tacit fiction
that women on horseback were not BIZ

sight looked good to him Just the

II Was Dede.

would rap Bob on the nose. The horse
didn'rEive, after it once learned the
lesson, that would whirl In the face
of the doubled quirt.
More keenly than ever, during that
week In the office, did Daylight realize
that he had no social, nor even human
contacts with Dede. The situation was
such that he could not ask her the
simple question whether or not she
was going riding next Sunday. Thus
he found another card In the hand
the mad god had dealt him. How i'm
portant that card was to become he
did not dream, yet he decided that it
was a pretty good card.
Sunday came, and Bob, out in the
Piedmont hills. behaved like an angel.
His goodness at times was of the
spirited, prancing order, but other
wise he was a lamb. But no Dede did
Daylight encounter. He vainly circled
about among the hill roads, and in
the afternoon took the steep grade
yer the divide of the second range
and dropped into Maraga Valley. Just
after passing the foot of the descent,
he heard the hoof beats Of a cantering
horse. 1t was from ahead and coming
toward him. What II II were Dede?
He turned Bob around and started to
return at a walk. The canter came
nearer, but he faced straight ahead
until he heard the horse behind check
to a walk. Then he glanced over his
shoulder. 1t was Dede. The recogni-
ton was quick. and, with her, accom-
panied by surprise. What more
natural thing than that. partly turn
ing his horse, he should wait It'll she
caught up with him; and that, when
abreast. they should continue abreast
on up the grade? He could have
sighed with relief. The thing
was accomplished. and so easily.
Greetings had been exchanged; here
they were side by side and going In
the same direction with miles and
miles ahead of them.
He noted that her eye was FIRST for
the horse and next for him.
"Oh, what a beauty" she had cried
at sight OF Bob. From the shining
light in her eyes. and the face filled
with delight. he would scarcely have

CHAPTER XIV.

Another Sunday man and horse and
dog roved the Piedmont hills. And
again Daylight and Dede rode togeth-
err. But this time her surprise at
meeting him was tinctured with sus-
picion; or rather, her surprise was OF
another order. The previous Sunday
had been quite accidental. but his
appearing the second time among her
favorite haunts limited of more than
the fortuitous. Daylight was made to
feel that she suspected him, and he.
remembering that he had seen q
big rock quarry e Blair Park.
stated offhand that he was think
ing of buying 1t. His one-time
investment In a brickyard had
put the idea into his head-an idea
that he decided was a good one. for 1t
enabled him to suggest that she ride
along with him to inspect the quarry.
So several hours he spent in her
company. In which she was much the
same girl as before, natural, unaffect-
ed. li~ght-hearted. smiling and laugh
ing. a good fellow. talking horses with
unflagging enthusiasm. making friends
with the crusty-tempered Wolf. and
expressing a desire to ride Bob. whom
she declared she was more In love with
than ever. Against his better judg-
ment. Daylight gave In. and. on an
unfrequented stretch Of road. changed
saddles and brides.
Remember, he's creased lightning"
he warned. as he helped her to mount.
She nodded. while Bob pricked I'D
his ears to the knowledge that he had
a strange rider on his back. The
fun came quickly enough-too quickly
for Dede, who found herself against
Bob's neck as he pivoted around and
bolted the other way. Daylight followed
on her horse and watched. He saw
her check the animal quickly to q
s%tandstill, and Immediately, with rem
across neck and a decisive prod Il
the left spur. whirl him back the way
he had come and almost as swiftly.
Get ready to give him the quirt q
