flash OF anger in his blue eyes, would
answer:

they want me let 'em send for me-"
All OF which would duly flnd Its
way to the Widow Wilson's ears

Nevertheless it did seem strange
that two old friends should live In
chilly isolation upon neighboring
ranches. True the ranches were quar-
ter sections, and at least half mile
lay between the two houses. But they
were the nearest neighbors of one an
other, and they had known each other
since childhood. Yoakum was man
of fifty, and the widow might have
been forty-fve-though she did not
look anywhere near it.
There were few residents or the IT.

bered the time when it had been a

that old man Farley and old man
Yoakum had migrated together and
fought Indians together. The children
had grown up together and everybody
had expected them to get married.
Then Wilson had come along and
snatched Adeline Farley out Of Yoak'
um's hand-almost literally, for the
bans had been announced when the
startling news came from Kansas City
that the pair were man and wife. Old
Farley forgave his daughter and took
her home when Wilson deserted his
young bride; but Yoakum never got
over it. He went to California and
was not heard of for five and twenty
years. Then he drifted back to take
up land in the town Of his birth. to
find all his old friends scattered or
dead, and Adeline Wilson, widow,

was twitted, he returned the answer

the other an oak tree. They could not

he could tell them what kind Of tree
1t was.
The gunner looked up and down the
tree, walked all round it, drew his
sword, and began cutting it. The
officers asked him what he meant by
this behaviour. when he looked up at
them and answered.:
