Barrow
II am Miss Heath she informed him
languidy. "If you like, you may go back
and be admitted properly; but it isn't
really necessary, is it? 1t was very kind
of you to come. Won't you sit down."
Thomas thought he would. The chair
she indicated looked particularly rest-giv-
ing, and the encounter had left him weak
in the knees. He started to cross to it,
stumbled on a footstool, and went sprawl
ing into the middle of the floor, cane,
spats, imported scarfpin, gardenia, and
all. \ tragic gap of silence ensued
I'm awfully sorry" said Miss Heath;
but she looked as if she was trying hard
not to be amused so stupid of Mary to
scatter footstools in uncalled-for places!
You aren't hurt, are you?"
Thomas somehow got to his feet. He
thought of Bills classification, "That
Chesterfield, Bishop Potter, Dustin Far
mum aspect that serves you for manner,
and felt that if he could punch Bills head
thoroughly the tension would be slightly
eased. Chesterfield, indeed! He was
conducting himself after the unsccmly
methods of mild lunatic-or a plain
idiot. Decidedly chastened, he proceeded
with some caution to the chair that had
been his goal and sat down.
NOTHING at all-not hurt in the least
pray overlook my awkwardness. The
darkness after coming in out of the sum
light you know He was trying again
to apologize for himself; but the mentioned
dmness of the room did not prevent his
conclusion that this woman couldn't pos
sibly be Miss Heath. Why, Bill had told
him OF course if she said she was Miss
Heath Again that longing to punch
Bills head overcame him.
IL suppose l ought to explain, he went
on "why took the liberty of calling on
you. THAT is-you see, I've heard
Dad speak of you so often that, really,
| quite feel as if l knew you-ah-to an
extent, at least: not so we'll, of course, as
should like to-"
Miss Heath said nothing. Barrow be-
gan to feel trifle uneasy.
"Probably / should have asked permits
sion to come; but took it for granted
that is, as you and Father We're such good
friends He trailed off aimlessly.
Miss Heath sat in calm, poised silence
and waited
Beautiful place, Octen Station
Thomas took a new tack, and offered this
cheering statement tentatively, as if he
feared she might not agree with him.
Il suppose it is, she agreed listlessly.
GAS it is your home, of course you find
it beautiful, pursued Barrow sentiment

"No?" Tom looked genuinely aston
ished. But you've lived here for years

back only few weeks ago."
"Oh" said Thomas Barrow. He added
lamely, you didn't meet Father here?'
NO., said Miss Heath. 81 met him in
Algiers. nursed him through brief i'll
ness in Paris shortly afterward. My chap
eron, the Countess of Lapham, was a
friend of his, and both she and were glad
to be of assistance to him when he fell ill.

of him"
II understand, said Thomas; though
he didn't at all. ut was kind of you to
look after Dad. He never would stay at

The Countess of Lapham is rich and
titled woman; but she is sweet and human
too, and just a little shrewd. She was
very kind to me. By degrees she drew
me out of my shell. Then | met Others

after four years, however, got a bit
tired of globe trotting one does, you
know; and the Countess is forever on the
wing. Aunt Sarah had left me half her
money, conditionally, and it occurred to
me that it would be pleasant to live alone
for a time Old things become new when
we've been away from them. This house,
for lnstance-it's almost exactly the same,
even to the vegetable garden and the pond
back of it. And-there was reason why
| wanted to come back" She hesitated,
then asked, "Would you like me to show
you about IA bit?'
Thomas accepted politely; though he
wasn't in the least interested in the place,
except as it concerned her. But when
Miss Heath, who had gone for sun hat,
came in with a fetching deliberately rural
concoction in blue gingham overher spiral
ing fluff of dark hair and smiled at him a
little wistfully, albeit proudly, he forgot
the world.
TOG GETHER they strolled out into the
STILL warm autumnal sunshine The
crimsoning naples at the gate, high above
the huddling evergreens, might have been
war banners lifted by invisible hands.
The air was like thick amber wine.
THAT horrible fish," said Miss Heath
suddenly, as they went past it, at re-
minds me of Aunt Sarah"
Barrow wondered whether the likeness
was physical or spiritual. According to
Bill, the resemblance had been highly
tangible.
They went through cunning wicket
gate into the vegetable garden, and wan
dered between its faded rows, surveyed
the pond, into which Tom threw stone
for luck; inspected the orchard, sharing a
gnarled apple and three wild grapes from
that neglected spot; and finally leaned to-
gether on the garden gate and looked out
over the jumble of asters, chysanthe-
NUNS and goldenrod. Thomas Barrow,
society and club man, card shifter and ex-
pert tangoist, sighed contentedly and fixed
his attention on his companions attrac-
tive nose, on which few faint golden
freckles stood out boldly against the
warm whiteness of her skin.
"Iou-you don't mind if l come again,
do you?" he asked ingratiatingly. I'll
stick around the doorbel next time and
not do the frst-story window act, if you'll
say | may"
"But-of course She smiled and
gave him her hand, and for moment
seemed to grant him status as a real fellow
being of her own class and intelligence
Thomas tingled. On his soul! weren't
her eyes blue, after all instead of gray?
81 shall be glad to have you come
The words were conventional, and
not overly cordial, but on the whole en-
couraging. She hadn't said he couldn't
come.
Barrow went down through the gold
and scarlet naples carrying the memory
of that handclasp and her conceding
glance. He had reached the hotel before
it dawned upon him that he hadn't said
confounded word about the money.

Killing of Paxton

A tragedy which went far toward
uplifting moral sentiment In the early
days of American Falls was the killing
of Bob Paxton, whose real name was
Charles Reddington. on September 10,
1886. Paxton was the leader of a band
of cattle and horse thieves who oper-
ated from Oregon to Wyoming, and
from Montana to states OIL the south
Of us. They sotpped here a good deal
Of the time, having their headquarters
on the peninsula now owned by Tarbet
west of town about a mile. The gang
would drive in a bunch of stock and
stay here for several days 70 rest.
meanwhile ~carousing and having a
good time. So many ~depredations had
peer committed, that a cattleman's as
ISOLATION was formed and a detective
sent here. The gang had some mem
bers here, one OF whom went down into
Nevada and Joined the cattlemen's as
ISOLATION and learned the identity of
the detective. which was furnished TO
Paxton, so that he not only knew the
detective as soon as he saw him, but
knew what he was here for. Bradley
Jackson was the name of the detec-
i've. He later married Miss Susie
I Taysom, daughter of one of the pio-
neers of the Rock creek valley and is
. now living in Montana. Jackson came
here in August. 1886, keeping the ma
ture of his business strictly to him
self. He had not been here many
lays until Paxton and his gang ar
rived. As soon as Paxton saw him he
recognized Jackson from the descrip-
ion furnished him. and walking up to
Jackson. looking him straight In the
eye, told him who he was, said what
ne was here for.
Jackson, as cool as Paxton, admitted
he truth OF the statements. From that
lime on the men were ~inseparable,
drinking and eating together, and
watching zach other like hawks. Both
understood they were playing a life
and death game. that the life of n or
both was the forfeit. The few who
lived here understood the matter and
there was much suppressed excitement
They knew that a tragedy was inim'
inent and did not now where II would
stop. Paxton had several men with
him and others who lived here or neal
by, were stool pigeons for him and II
vas feared that II Paxton was killed
they would retalliate by wiping out the
town because they knew that senti
ment was against them.
Paxton and Jackson continued to b.
inseparable, each constantly on hi
guard. They ate at the same table, di
rectly facing each other. On the even
ing Of September 13. they came a lit
lie late, finishing after most Of tn
others had left the table. Paxton wa

one goes, az there Ia gold everywhere.
When the well at the Oliver House was
dug gold was found in soil taken from
fifty feet below the surface, Just the
same kind OF gold as is found In the
river sand bars. An expert stopped
here once for the purpose OF determ-
lining whether the gold came from a
mother lode up the river at some point
or whether Il existed in the soil. His
conclusion was that when the blow
out occurred which overfiowed the
Snake river valley with lava, that the
gold was blown into the air like Boot
and settled over a wide range OF ter
ritory. His conclusion "a that the
river bars we're renewed each year
by the caving In OF banks along the
river. This IL borne out by the ex-
p~erience OF miners on bars IN the riv-
ar right at the townsite.
