~ lNERNA STEVENS was so
/" busily engaged preparing sup
per and was making so much
noise rattling pans and dishes
that she did not hear a knocking ut the
front door until it had been repeated
for the third time.
When at last she did hear. however,
she stopped her work, wiped the flour
from her hands and bare arms, rolled
down her sleeves and hastily tidied
herself up.
"That is the new teacher now," she
said to herself, patting her hair into
proper shape. II wonder what he is
like:'
She passed into the other room, took
one final look at her reflection in the
mirror, then went to the door and stood
face to face with-.James Ross.
She gave Il little gasp and started
back, with her hand to her heart, while
for one moment her face flushed with
pleasure, then as quickly became
deathly pale.
"My God: You here?" she cried.
Ross, almost as much astonished as
she, but with face aglow with joy, nod
ded his head. After little he said:
and YOU! l never expected to see
you here"
'"This is my home," she replied. "But
you'll thought you were gone"
mo. not yet. l scarcely expect to
go now for long time"
She sat chair for him and then
sank into seat herself Then follow
ed silence that began to grow awk

II should not have come upon Won
so suddenly. If l had dreamed YOU
We're here 1 would have been moro
careful
She laughed little hysterically.
"Oh, it's all right" she said. "only
l was surprised at first. I went 70 the
door, expecting to meet a stranger and.
instead. l met you''
II see. You were expecting Frank
Stone, the new schoolteacher?"
Eyes. How did you know about
him?'
II should know more about him than
any one else does.'
"Shoud you? Why?'
"For the reason that am he,"
She looked at him in astonishment.
'Iou don't mean to say" she said.
"that you are intending to stay here to
teach that school!"
"Thats my present calculation" he
replied. DO you doubt my ability to
teach:"
ut is not that was thinking of. It's
the danger. Don't you know that if
you are discovered you will be killed."
II presume that is true. But | have
no fear of being discovered il you are
the friend to me that I have been as
sured you are. You see, Slocum told
me all about how you saved my life
that night over there at your fathers.

I" A CRAZY old croakcr,' Stone NUT
IA tered as he trudged on up the
~ ravine, 'and she knows just
about as much of the future
as a rabbit does"
Yet. ridiculc her prophecies as he
would, try to treat them as lightly as
En pleased, her words weighed on his
mind, and he finished his journey with
much heavier heart than he began it,
One thing she had said troubled him
seriously. She had said his right name
was not Stone, and she was correct.
She certainly knew he was not what
he pretended. How she knew, when
he had thought his secret so safely
guarded. was Il mystcr. to him. The
knowledge that she did know troubled
and worried him, for he foresaw that
1t might lead to serious complications,
If she knew that much, was it not
probable that she knew more, and if
she knew, was it not possible that 9TH
ors also knew? 1t was not likely that
all old crazy woman alone would gain
a knowledge of his secret unless, as
she claimed, she had it from a super
natural source. And. as for that, he
was far too practical to believe in it
for an instant.
There was but one conclusion at
which he could arrive. His secret
must be out, and if all the world did
not already know it, it would know it
soon.
He took Il more serious view of his
situation the more he thought it over.
and at last he sat down OH a stump by
the wayside to ponder the question
whether. after all. it would not be bet
ter to heed the old woman's warning
and turn back. If his secret was out
the things she had foretold might easi-
~ come to pass, some Of them at least,
and even others Of far greater mo-
mcnt.
1t would be safer to give up his un-
lcrtaking and go back from whence
he came. and prudence whispered him
that he should do So But, on the 9TH
ar hand. there was tie, foolish.
iimsy thing. that held him to his pur-
pose. \ man of maturer judgment
would have snapped that tie and swept
It aside. but there are people over
whom IL mere trifle sometimes exerts Il
strange and ineXplainable influence.
Stone was still seated there, unde-
rided what to do. when Il man came

T.
Never mind about that now. What
ana was only humane, and 1 want no
thihks for it. You have nothing to
lear from me. for l shall never betray
you. But there is father
Il shall take care that he and l nev-

cum says. since Mr.. Bone never comes
over on this side Of the ridge, and l
shall he very sure to never go over on
that side,
Then there are those three men who
came over there that night You may
succeed i'll avoiding meeting with ia

all three Of them"
Il shall not try to avoid them. There

OF them already and had pleasant
and friendly chat with him."
You have? When?'
Just awhile ago as I came up the
ravne"
"Who was it?"
"Jake Martini
She held up her hands and opened
her eyes wide in amazement.
S1rely,' she cried. "you did not
meet that man face to face and talk
with him.'
II did And a very pleasant, sociable

Didn't he suspect you?"
"Not for an instant. Why should he
when all the time he and his compan-
ions We're there / sat back in dark
corner of the room with my face in my

hands? He said himself that he never
got fair look at my face, and the fact
that he didn't recognize me proves that
he didn't. Then, I have grown this
beard since then. Oh, l have nothing
to fear from them'
She shook her head doubtfully.
THAT may be true" she said, "but l
don't know. 1t seems to me you are
taking a foolish and unnecessary risk
in remaining here. 1t would have been
much better to have gone back to your
friends"
II don't think so. There would have
been quite as much risk in trying to
get back to my friends as there is in
remaining here. Don't you know the
whole country here is alive with armed
men looking for me?'
1T is?'
"Certainly. That is what Jake Mar
tin was doing when met him.
Did he say 500"
"Yes. And he asked me to keep a
lookout, and if l saw any stranger
prowling about that I thought might

What did you say?'
"Oh, told him l would. But, speak
ing of going away, If l had tried it l
might have succeeded, but the chances
We're decidedly against me. Slocum
looked at it that way, and when ar
gued that it would be safer to stay he
agreed that l was right. So he hired
me to teach the school and gave it
out that the new teacher was Frank
Stone from town. And who, except
know the difference?'
Have you been at Slocum's ever
since that night:'
Yes"
And no one knew you We're there? ?"
mo one save the friends who came
me-"
Excuse me- she said and left the
room to look after the supper. His
eyes followed her until she was out of
sight, and then he drew a weary sigh.
Il wish I had not come here" he
said to himself, land would not if
had known she was here. But, having
come, 1 cannot go away. 1t would be
best, but am too weak"
He thought of Crazy Mag and her
warning, and he shook his head and
sighed again.
Alone in the kitchen, she had
thoughts, too, that she would not dare
whisper even to herself and that even
the thinking Of him made her blush
She was glad he had come. and it
pleased her to see him, but she wished
he had remained away. He would be
there all the fall and winter, and they
would see each other every day. That
thought was pleasant, but she knew it
was not best.
Presently George Stevens came in.
He shook hands with Ross cordially
enough, but at the time he was think
ing of that s.. Il week he should
get in board money. He valued peo-
Pile and their friendship only accord
Ing to whatever he was likely to get
out of them in dollars and cents.
Ross looked George over carefully
and arrived ut an opinion regarding
him on the spot. That opinion was
that he was not fit companion for his
wife.
At supper Minerva had but little to
say. and Ross, too. was quite reticent:
so George. unusually voluble, did most
of the talking.

Ross asked this question with a cool

to look up at him in astonishment. He
was as calm and collected as though
he were perfect stranger to the whole
