Meade County news., 1917-03-15

riders hat whirled from his head and
he pitched sideways out of the saddle
as If struck by lightning.
A moment later the report of the shot
reached Marie. She glanced over her
shoulder and saw Hardy outstretched
on the ground, flaccid and inert.
With suddenness that almost threw
her pony off his nlmble feet, she
wrenched him around. The mare had
stopped within two strides, and twist
ed her head about TO look at her fallen
master. The manner in which he had
fallen showed that the shot had come
from up the coulee. Flinglng herself
from her pony, she plucked Hardy's
rifle out of its sheath and leveled 1t
across the saddle. But she could see
no sign Of the assassin, and no Sec
ord bullet came whirring across the
coulee. Without second look up the
coulee, she bent over to rip the hem
from her underskirt. This gave her a
bandage. Her own and Hardy's hand
kerchiefs served for compress. Swift
ly she bound them on the long wound
above his temple and stopped the
bleeding.
When at last he opened his eyes, his
head was in her lap. He gazed up into
her down-bent face, his mind still in
daze.. A frown of pain creased his
forehead. He murmured, in the Queru-
lous tone of a sick child: Mother
mother!"
Instlnctively her soft hand began to
smooth away the frown with a gentle,
caresslng touch. His eyes closed in
restful contentment. The girl con-
tlnued to stroke his forehead. Sud-
denly his eyelids lifted, and he looked
up with the clear, bright gaze of full
consciousness. He saw the womanly
compassion in her beautiful face. Her
eyes were tender and lustrous with
sympathy for his suffering.
"Marie!" he murmured. "It is you'll
II thought my mother"
"Hush |" she said. "You have been
shot in the head. do not know how
serious 1t is"
"Shot? In the headW He lay still,
considering this. Her look had not
altered under his gaze. From her utter
lack of self-consciousness he OWNED
that she thought him dangerously If
not fatally wounded. After pause, he
began to speak with the calmness that
sometimes masks the most profound
feeling:
"You scarcely know me-but, in the
circumstances, trust you will pardon
me for-not waiting. love you. From
the first thought you the most beauti-
full girl had ever seen. Now l know

unsophistcated as he persisted In
thinking her.
"Yoh take good deal for granted,
Mr.. Vandervyn," she attempted a
mocking tone. II am not yet your
sweetheart, nor am l so sure shall
be-"
He cam" nearer to her, his eyes the
color of viulets and sparkling with tiny
golden CLEANS. He held out his arms.
His voice was low and enticing !:
"Sweetheart-sweetheartl' p
She swayed toward him, checked
herself in the act of yielding, and
eluded his grasp.
"Nor' she cried. you're q bit too
sure. I've no mother, halfbreed or
otherwise, to advise me, my dear Reg
gle. / must be my own chaperon.
You charge Captain Hardy with trying
to play me. Yet when he spoke to me
of his love he also spoke Of marriage"
Vandervyn's eyes narrowed and as
quickly widened in their most child
like stare.
"How can you, Marie?" he re-
preached. "YOu say that as If you
think 1 have been trifling with you all
these months, when you know as well
