Everything of value had been oblig-
ingly slipped into Ovens brown seal
handbag, and she h~csitated, her eyes
flashing into his. Outside, an older
man on horseback stood with leveled
rifle by the coach.
Hands up, all Of YOU" he called.
Come on. kid. It's all right"
And Wayne slipped down from the
coach, but stopped, for the old gentle
man helc. a revolver at his head.
Got you this trip" he said pleas
antly. "Sit still, ladies'. All right,
ILewis!"
Lewis suddenly felt the touch Of
steel in his hand. Old Ben had some
how crumpled down at the bandits
first warning shot, but the girl was in
hits place, holding the reins. AT tho
voice from the rear Of the coach, the
man on horseback wheeled his horse,
aud started on a leadlong gallop down
the gulcr road, but Lewis fired after
him, bringing the horse to his knees,
and he lay motionless with his rider
under him.
It had all happened SO suddenly
that the girls and women had watched
the scene in silent horror. Claire was
first to note the surprising change In
the girl on the box. Her hat was on.
She was short-haired and boyish, and
was on the ground laughing and talk
ing while Wayne WIS bound hand and
foot.
Gwen waited, white faced and trou'
bled. Finally Lewis came to her side
and she laid her hand ippulsively OH
his coat steeve-such a little motion,
but it betrayed to him all Of her
thoughts He had laid one hand over
it closely ii
"Well, grille, I'm sorry you ran into
this. We've been expecting it for
months, every time the coach was
loaded with any cash, but l hardly
thought our good friend Ivesson was a
pal Of old Cuddyhoe Bill. We're 60
ing to leave some OF the men to guard
him while l take you all back to the
hotel. You see, expecting trouble, We
came prepared. There were two OF
the sherift's men with me. Baker on
the inside, as the old man. and Young
! Carter outside with me, dressed as the
girl. Were you Jealous, dear?"
"Oh, Lewis, I don't want to live way
out here where such things happen"
she said ~anxiously. "Not-not after
ward, I mean"
She shuddered and drew near to
him., They were taking Ivesson down
the road now to where the horse and
rider lay. Once he looked back at her.
There was only amusement and a GER
tain challenge In his glance. She
turned to the big, genial chap beside
her restfully.
81 don't care where you have to live,
I'll stay there. too. And. oh, I'm glad
you're you. Lewis-somebody really
human and right, don't you know"

and it serves her right. They're Just
as good as engaged, and she's been
absolutely hypnotized by Wayne Ives
son. 1 don't like him. Mother can't
bear hin. either. He's the kind OF
person you know whether you trust
or not inside OF two minutes after you
first meet him."
Inside the coach Gwen Armed cat
with Ivesson. Somehow at the very
last minute, he had managed to swing
to the seat beside her, after standing
watching each person as they all TOOK
their places on the coach. Most OF
them he knew as acQuantafnces. For
five weeks he had been a guest at the
hotel, a slender, scholarly looking
youngster who spent most OF his time
reading on the broad verandas or rid
ing the mountain paths. He had met
Gwen out alone several times after
their frs: introduction, and had joined
her. Lewis had disltked him from the
first, but Gwen was in n rebound MOOD
after n disagreement with Lewis and
rather approved OF him.
at is wonderful to having you all
to myself" he said us the coach
swung down into the first gully.
You call this alone?" laughed Gwen
teasingly, wondering who the girl was
up on tho box,
who Is she" asked Ivosson. al.

She was not a guest at the hotel, and

Lewis knows her. Odd, isn't IT." .
Lewis has lived up here for three
years. she answered, resenting the
tone. why shouldn't he know her?"
When we're not here, he lives at his
ranch, you know"
And some day you will be here

 There was discord in the Norton family in 1852. The elder Norton was a strong Abolitionist and became in censed when F. H. Norton informed him that he had cast his vote for Winfield Scott the Whig candidate. However Scott failed of election by only 200 votes, Franklin Pierce, the democratic candidate, being victor- ious.
 MT. Norton was very prominent in town affairs in by-gone days. He served as selectman for three years and was a member of the board of relief. He and William Bulkeley, president of the Berlin Savings bank, are the only citizens now living, who signed the petition relating to the separation of Berlin and New Britain. This was done in 1850. MT. Norton is the only man alive today who rode on the first train of cars that ever passed over the local lines of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company. Despite his great age, MT. Norton is very spry and calls for the family mail at the Kensin9-. ton post office every day. He says his health is very good. but he notices his sight is growing weaker and he is able to read only large print. Mr. Norton was tho recipient of many congratulations from his many friends today.
