Banty Rutherford looked out across
the lovely meadows and well kept gar
dens of his luxurious bachelor home. At
thirty-five he was rather set in his own
mode Of life. 1t would take something
ultramagnetic to lure him from his COM
Portable liberty.
He admitted frankly that he was miss
ing much in life. yet he refused to marry
merely to be in line with his friends.
I'm quite willing" he had often said
with one of his rare smiles, TO capitu-
late when Miss Right comes along. She
must be an exact fit into my scheme of
existence, otherwise, an content to rule
my solitary domain"
The trouble with you is,'' said his
sister, that you are waiting for some
superhuman woman who has all the
grsces and none OF the dis-graces of
her sex. You always see all the fruits
first"

laughed Banty. Il really believe that
would fancy the old-fashioned type.

coffee awaiting you. I had the cook
prepare for just such an emergency.
And you'll lay aside the revolver"
Il am not afraid"
Mr.. Deering had finished his coffee
when there came a wall of the gale that
might have been taken for the scream
Of woman as she felt a knife at her
throat The cook was a coward. but
that wall aroused her desperation. She
sprang of the bed. seized a club she had

II was all very proper and heroic in a
cook. but it did not last till the villain
had been annihilated. When he could
not repress a laugh the cook let fall
her club and few back up stairs.

and put to bed and they would have done
the same by others had the storm drifted
them that way.
The blizzard did not abate with the
coming Of another day. There were hens
and pigs to feed. and a COW to fodder
and milk, and the son of the railroad
magnate plowed his way through the
waist-high drifts and played hired man
with such success that the cook re-
prnaChfully exclaimed to herself:
What an idiot l was for thinking that
man was a murderer
Mr.. behring's auto was hidden under a
snowdrift higher than his head and a
quarter of a mile long. He did not de-
part, but spent most of the day shovel
ing snow. II was good to have a man
in the house. even il Miss Bird shook her
head in a doubtful way at intervals and
sighed:
Il don't know what Mrs. Grundy will
say. but the storm brought him and I
couldn't turn him away
Mrs. Grundy never made a peep. She
was showed under. and for the first time
in her life she lost her voice. When Mr..
and Mrs. Rayburn finally reached home
there was a good deal Of talk about bliz-
yards. but il was midsummer before
Miss Birds father closed a conversation
by observing:
why. if You and Bird love each other
see no reason to object. but II you

could be expected from within in case
OF need. the girl finished loading her
weapon and sat down to wait for what
might happen. Something happened every
minute. The gale blew. the snow drove
against the windows IS II II would beat
them in. and now and then a fierce blast
shook the big house from foundation tc
roof
The first move was to see that every
door and window was secure. and then
the sentinel sat down TO wait. After
half an hour or so she began to wonder
whether she had really locked the out
side doors OF the vestibule. OF course,
she had. Perhaps not. II would take
only a minute to make sure. but she did
not move. There came what she thought
was a shout or a cry for help from the
highway. Was it a cry or the wall Of
the gale?
What Miss Bird did was to go to one
of the front windows and raise the shade
and let the light shine forth into ths
storm for a beacon. Five minutes after
she had taken her seat again the front
door opened and a man of snow stag
gered into the room. She had not locked
the doors after all.
The unbidden guest staggered about
until he could clutch the back of a chair
for support. The snow had piled on him
inches thick. and his battle with the storm
had exhausted him. 1t was a full minute
before he spoke. and then a nervous laugh
preceded his words:
The Washington herald., 1914-04-12

I'm two or three minutes l shall be able
to ask you to excuse this intrusion
The girl was holding the revolver in
her hand. She kept her eyes on him, but
made no reply.
Sorry TO bring this snowbank into the
house, hut / was that done up that l
had to crawl from the gate to the house. d"
Still no answer.
There, now" said the stranger as he
shook himself. will you kindly excuse a
haIf-frozen stranger for not ringing the
bell and asking your permission TO
enter"
You did not need permission" was the
answer.
Thanks"
He retreatcd into the vestibule and
cleared the snow from his feet and body
as we'll as he could When he re-entered
the room the girl saw that he was a
young man. He had on light Overcoat.
and was in no way prepared for the sud
den and fierce change of weather. For
the first time his eyes fell upon the re-
volvcr. and after a smile he said:

sat. Both faces were wreathed in
smiles. There was a fragrant sugges-

toward each other.

Scott-do you suppose he will bring that
down to our set in town and expect US
to take her seriously?H
In the adjoining garden Banty was say

Banty. Your photographs-of which Sis

because he was suddenly and unexpect-
edly weak. The girls fathomless eyes
were looking straight into his own and
her scarlet lips were taunting him with
their charm.
'Then-you dislike theatrical people?'
she questioned.

quickly. Il hive had your photograph

throat-cutter will be half frozen by the
tie he gets here. and he will want some

Miss Bird was no heroine. She was
bluffing herself and bluffing the cook.
II was a fact that she was frightened.
There was not another house within
half mile. The telephone had gone
dead two days before. The coachman
had gone with her parents. and 1t was

there was no day without its tramp

all night. as no one except strangers
could be expected to come that way in
so fierce a storm. The fact that her

that she knew how to use IL did not give
her much comfort. She was not at all

herself and the house
The cook came into the family room
