She made light of his fears, twist

at him. How do you know l won't
do it?"
Because I've asked you before
This is it: Marry me, now, here

away from poor Uncle Duke. Ii

De Spain was unconvinced. But ap-
prehension is short lived in young
hearts. The sun shone, the sky
spread a speckless blue over desert
and mountain, the day went to their
castles and dreams. In retired
corner of the cool dining room at the
Mountain house, they fingered to-
gether over a long -drawn-out din
ner. The better-informed guests by
asides indicated their presence to
others. They described them as the
hardy couple who haG first met in il
stiff Frontier day rife match, which
the girl had won. Her defeated
rival-the man now most regarded
and feared in the mountain country
was the man with the reticent
mouth, mild eyes, curious .birthmark,
and with the two little perplexed
wrinkles visible most of the time
just between his dark eyebrows, the
man listened intently to every syll-
able that fell from the lips of the
trinity bloused, active girl opposite
him, leaning forward in her eager
ness to tell him things. Her jacket
hung over the back of her chair, and
she herself was referred to by the
more fanciful as queen of the outlaw
camp at Music mountain.
The two were seen together that
day about town by many, for the
story of their courtship was still
veiled in mystery and afforded
ground for the widest speculation,
while that of their difficulties, and
such particulars as De Spain's fruit
less efforts to conciliate Duke Nor
gan and Dukes open threats against
De Spain's life were widely known
All these details made the move-
ment and to- fate of the young
couple the object of keenly curious
comment.
In the late afternoon the two rode
almost the whole length of Main
street together on their way to the
river bridge. Everyone knew the
horseflesh they bestrode-none clean
er-limbed, harder or faster in the
high country. Those that watched
them able slowly past, laughing and
talking, intent only on each other,
erect, poised and motionless, as If
nodded to their saddles. often spoke
of having seen Nan and her lover
that day. 1t was long time be-
fore they were seen riding down
Main street together. again.

Pound the ice to the size of

salt about one half the size of
pea. Use three parts of ice to one
part of salt. Place one-inch layer
of the ice at the bottom of the
freezer and then put the can in
place. Fill up space between can
and freezer with ice, packing hard
all the time, turning the can oc-
easionally to assure it running free

from the top of the can fill it with
the substance to be frozen, cover
tightly and turn slowly at first, in
ereasing the speed and adding more
ice and salt as the mixture settles.
When the cream is firm take off the
cover and remove dasher. Place a
piece of paper over the top and
then cover tightly filling the freezer
full of ice. Place a heavy blanket
over all and leave for about two

to pass the incident off as joke.
But his dissimulation was more dan
gerous. she knew, than his brutality,
and he left her the prey to more
than one alarm, and the renewed re-
solve never to be taken off her guard.
That night he came back. He told
her uncle, glancing admiringly at
Nan as he recounted the story, how
she had stood her ground against
him in the morning.
Nor did Nan like he way her
uncle acted while he Iistened-and
afterward. He talked q good deal

about Gale and the way she was
treating her cousin. When Nan de-
clared she never would have any
thing to do with him, her uncle told
her with disconcerting bluntness to
get all that out of her head, for she
was going to marry him. When she
protested she never would, Duke
told her, with many harsh oaths
that she should never marry De
Spain even if he had to kill him or
get killed to stop it, and that If she
had any sense she would get ready
to marry her cousin peaceably, add
ing, that if she didn't have sense, he
would see himself it was provided
for her.
His threats left Nan aghast. For

bluntly.
Nan looked at him in silence. "I
don't want you running to town any

Duke, without any attempt to soften
his injunction.

Gale Morgan in the living world, and
I've told you so more than once"
He regarded his niece a moment
wrathfully and, without replying,
walked back to the house. Nan, up
set but resolute, went on to the
barn and asked Pardaloe to saddle
her pony. Pardaloe shuffled around
in an obliging way, but at the end
of some evasion admitted he had
orders not to do 1t. Nan famed at
the information. She disliked
Pardaloe anyway, not for any rea-
son she could assign beyond the
fact that he had once been a chum
of Gales. But she was too high
spirited to dispute with him, and re-
turned to the house pink with in
dignation. Going straight to her
uncle, she protested against such
tyranny. Duke was insensible alike
to her pleas and her threats.
But next morning Nan was up at
three. o'clock. She made her way into
the barn before soul was stirring
and at daybreak was we'll on her
way to Sleepy Cat. She telephoned
to De Spain's office from the hos
pital and went to breakfast De
Spain joined her berore she had
finished and when they left the din

heard the story with misgivings.

State Wheat and Rye
Crops Up to Average

Pennsylvania wheat and rye crops
will likely be fully up to the average
this year.
During the month of March the
condition of both wheat and rye in
the State improved materially ac-
cording to reports received by the
Bureau of Statistics of the State De-
partment of Agriculture. Wheat
showed an improvement of three
per cent. and represented 80 per
cent.as compared with an average.
In 1916 the condition of wheat in
the ground on April l was 95 per
cent. but the reports from the 500
crop correspondents indicated splen-
did growth and development and
lead to the hope of almost an aver
age crop for harvest in the fall.
The big wheat producing counties
in the central and southeastern end
of the State reported wheat in good
condition and a great deal of the
fear of heavy loss by the heaving
through the frosts in February and
March was wiped away with the

the fields. The number of weeks of
snow protection for the grain ranged
from four to thirteen with the aver
age of the State about seven weeks.
The eastern counties showed five
weeks protection while Warren
county showed thirteen weeks of
snow covered earth and Erie and
Wayne counties twelve weeks. There
were ten weeks of snow protection
in Elk, Forest and Susquehanna
counties.
The 1915 yield of wheat in the
State was estimated at 25,070,500
bushels and from present indications
the 1917 yield will be 23,751, goo
bushels with every indication of this
figure being considerably increased.
The condition of rye advanced two
per cent. during the month and now
stands at 92 per cent. as compared
with average years. This is three per
cent. less than last year at this time
and prospects are bright for a crop
that will almost equal the 4,495, 400
bushel crop of last year.
Good sized peach and apple crops
are forecast by the statistical bureau
as result of a study of reports from
various counties and experts state
ments regarding damage by frosts.
Present signs are for a bumper

The. peach belt, comprising Bedford,

counties is stated to show better

chards are just commencing to bear
and will run up the crop above the
average. Counties which suffered
from frosts during budding time
were Allegheny, Armstrong, Butler.
Cambria, Cameron, Clarion, Forest,
Greene, Jefferson, Lackawanna, We

Wyoming.
The southern apple belt shows in
dications of a crop that will be bet
ter than the average. Twenty-Five
counties report signs of what is con-
sidered normal crop and a number
of others expect to go above the
usual yield. April prospects are
eleven per cent. ahead of those of
signs are for a yield close to nor

which Northern Pennsylvania is fa-
