CHAPTER XxVI!.

As the sun, after a passing storm, comes forth all the more gloriously, so the joy of their new-found friendship changed the world for Bud and Gra- cia. The rainbow that glowed against the retreating clouds held forth more than promise of sunshine for them, and they conversed only of pleasan, things as they rode on up the trail
 The dangers that still lay between them and the border seemed very re- mote now, and neither gave them a thought There was no one in all the wide world but just these two, this man and woman who had found then selves.
 Twenty miles ahead lay the northern pass, and from there it was ten more to Gadsden, but they spoke neither cs the pass nor of Gadsden nor of who would be awaiting them there. Their talk was like that of children, incon- sequential and happy. They told of the times when they had seen each other. and what they had thought: of the days of their childhood before they had met at Fortuna: of hopes and fears and thwarted ambitions and all the young dreams of life.
 Bud told of his battle-scarred father and their ranch in Arizona; of bis mother and horse-breaking brothers,

HAD MORE THAN THEIR SHARE
Class of Engiishmen Who Kivaled in the Number of Their WIves
 "Bluebeards" of History.

1t was formerly no uncommon thing, when journeying through the Essex marshes, to meet with fathers of families to whom the epithet "Bluebeard" might, without any im- propriety, be applied, remarks Lon don Tit-Bits. To have married half a dozen wives was no unusual expe- rience with these men, many of whom, indeed, had gone through the marriage ceremony with thrice that number. Even that total had on oc- casion been exceeded, as in the case of native of Candy island, who had espoused twenty-five different wom- en, while his son, who was but thirty-fye, had already been welded fourteen times.
 Yet for the most part these exces- sively connubial men were very re- speetable fellows, whose sole mistake was in choosing wives from the neighboring uplands instead of woo- ing those who had become acclima- tized from having been born and bred among the marshes. Conse- quently the newly welded brides, who had been accustomed to fresh and bracing air, on taking up their abode among the fogs and mists of the unhealthy flats, soon succumbcd to ague or fever, which generally car ried them off within the year, leay- ing their husbands to console them selves with fresh partners, who in heir turn rapidly gave place to suc- ,essors.
