toes. Ward used them for a table and
set the lantern there when he wanted
to read in bed. Hes got pretty good
supply of grub,' was the verdict Of
Billy Louise, sizing up the assortment
while she nibbled at the piece of jerky.
Il wonder where he is anyway And
moment later: Gle oughtn't to hang
his best clothes up like that. They'll
be all Wrinkled when he wants to put
them on"
She went over and disposed Of the
best clothes to her liking and shook out
the dust. She had to own to herself
that for bachelor Ward was very or
derby, though he did let his trousers
hang down over the -four sacks in a
way to whiten their hens. She hung
them in different place.
But where was Ward? Billy Louise
bethought her that Blue deserved
something to eat after that hard ride
and led him down to the stable. There
was no sign Of Rather, and Billy
Louise wondered anew at Wards alb
sence IT did not seem consistent with
his haste to leave the Wolverine and
his frequent assertion that he must get
to work. From the stable door she
could look over practically the whole
creek bottom within his fence, and she
could see the broad sweep Of the hills
on either side. On her way back to
the cabin she tried to track Rather,
but there were several stock trails
leading in different directions, and the
soil was too dry to leave any distin-
gushing marks.
She waited for an hour or two, SIT
ting in the doorway, nibbling jerky and
trying to read magazine. Then she
found a stub Of pencil, tore out an ad-
vertising page which had wide mar
gin and wrote: II don't think you're a
bit nice. Why don't you stay home
when fellow comes to see you" This
she folded neatly and put in the cigar
box Of tobacco over Wards pillow.
| She resaddled Blue and rode away
more depressed than ever, because her
depression was now mixed with dis
appointment keener than she would
have cared to acknowledge, even to
herself.

CHAPTER vLcontinued.

Far over to the eastward black dot
moved up a green slope and slid out OF
sight beyond. That might be Ward
taking short cut across the hill to his
claim beyond the pine dotted ridge that
looked purple in the distance. Billy
Louise sighed with a vague disqulet
and turned to look away to the north,
where the tumble of high hills grew
more rugged, with the valleys narrow
er and deeper.
Here came two other dots, larger and
more clearly defined as horsemen.
From mere objects that stood higher
than any animal and moved with a
purposeful directness they presently
became men who rode with the easy
swing of habit which has become a
second nature. They must have seen
her sitting still upon her horse in the
midst of that high, sunny plateau, for
they turned and rode up the slope to-
ward her.
Billy Louise waited, too depressed to
wonder greatly who they were. Sea-
beck riders probably. And SO they
proved. At least one Of them was a
Seabeck man-Floyd Carson, who had
talked with her at her own gate and
had told her of the suspected cattle
stealing. The other man was stran-
ger, whom Floyd introduced as Mr..
Birken.
They had been "prowling around
according to Floyd, trying to see what
they could see. Floyd was one of
those round-faced, round-eyed young
fellows who do not believe much in
secrecy and therefore talk freely when
ever and wherever they dare. He
said that Seabeck had turned them
loose to keep cases and see if they
couldn't pick up the trail Of these rus
tiers who were trying to get rich off a
running iron and long rope. Of you
are of the West you know what that
means, and if you are not you ought to
guess that it means stealing cattle and
let it go at that.) It was not until he
had talked for ten minutes or SO that
Billy Louise became more than mildly
interested in the conversation.
"Say, Miss Macdonald" Floyd asked
by way Of beginning new paragraph,
show about that fellow over on Mill

and took Blue by the bride, when she
dismounted, which was still more I'M
usual, for Billy Louise always cared
for her own horse both from habit and
preference.
"Yor mommie, she's SICK" he an
nounced stolid1y. "She's worry you
maybe hurt yoreself. 70 better go
maybe"
Billy Louise did not answer, but ran
up the path to the cabin. ''Oh, has
everything got to happen all at once?''
she cried aloud, protesting against the
implacableness of misfortune.
"Yor NOMINEES SICK" Phoebe an
nounced in a whisper. "She's crazy
cause you been so long. She's awful
bad, I guess"
Billy Louise said nothing, but went
in where her M cher lay moaning, her
face white and turned to the ceiling.
Billy Louise herself had pulled up her
reserves of strength and cheer1ulness,
and the fingers she laid on her mothers
forehead were cool and steady.
"POor old mommie! Is it that nasty
lumbago again?" she asked caressingly
and did not permit the tiniest shade of
anxiety to spoil the reinsurance Of her
presence. II went farther than usual
and Blues pretty tender, so eased him
along, and I'm fearfully late. sup
pose you've been having all kinds OF
disasters happening to me-" She was
passing her fingers soothingly over her
mothers forehead while she explained
and she saw that her mother did not
moan SO much as when she, came into
the room.
"Of course worried. I wish you
wouldn't take them long rides. Oh,
guess it's lumbago- mostly-b but seems
like it amt, either. The pain seems to
be mostly in my side.' She stirred
restlessly and moaned again.
whats Phoebe been doing for It'll
You don't seem to have any fever
mommie land that's a good thing I'll
go fix you one Of those dandy spice
poultices. Had any supper, mommie?''
"Oh, couldn't eat. Phoebe made q
hop poultice, but it's awful soppy."
"Well, never mind. Your dear daugh-
ter is on the job now. She'll have you
all comfy in just about two minutes.
Headache, mum? All right, I'll just
shake up your pil1y and bring you such
dandy spice poultice I expect you'll
want to eat it," Billy Louise's voice
was soft and had broody sweetness
when she wished it so, that soothed
more than, medicine. Her mothers eyes
closed YEARLY while the girl talked;
the muscles Of her face relaxed a little
from their look Of pain.
Billy Louise bent and laid her lips
lightly on her mothers cheek. "Poor
old mOmmie! I'd have come home
a-running if I'd known she was sick
and had to have nasty, soppy stuff"
In the kitchen very different Billy
Louise measured spices and asked a
question now and then in whisper and
breathed with repressed unevenness
which betrayed the strain she was un-
der.

It Was a False Alarm; Raiders
Not Likely to Reach Paris Again

The young English officer lit fresh match, and
1.-THE pretty girl took up her slvery laugh where she
had left it off, with curious effect of beginning
again with the naudibe echo
The American contractor observed probably a
false alarm, and set down his river and put bridge
lacrOss it.
The French banker, his eye twinkling with amuse
ment at the excessive harty of the tast
led his dessert and found it good and put lemon OH
our flat, round oysters.
There's seemed nothing else in particular to do.
Nowhere in particular to CO. for one place was as
safe another; and if anything were to happen it
would and if not, not.
No single diner left until he had finished, no one
went to a window or a door.
Of course it had been false alarm.
One of the alert French gendarmes of the air, far
towards the border had heard strange engine way
overhead and too far inside the line, he gave the
treated the city to long obsolete thrill in spite of the
fact that the raiders are scarcely likely ever again to
reach Paris.
Fear as Basis of Action Seems
Ito Have Gone Out Of the Universe
The bugle sounded sa Clear in short time after
the warning and the vigant aimen, who never cease
Ito circle above their precious Paris, flashed their
comforting lights they whrred and dipped and to-
bogganed in the limpid moonlit air.
BUT THE THRILL HAD NO DEPTH.
The world with such tremendous things at stake,
has long since ceased to care about such trifles.
The incident only served to bring up the everlasting
puzzle of Why does the Boche do it!
His tremendously expensive raids have military
or strategic value, and it only be that his clumsy
mind conceves the absurd theory that such people
the British and the French, who have proved their
staunchness by herosim which will be epic in flu
ture history, could be frightened by gobina scare
|crow in field!
We have not been among the British so much, but
we were with them in the one visitation, and know
that there nothing but bravery in them and as for
THE French, whom we know much better, cit is to
laugh"
Fear, as basis of action seems to have gone out of
the universe.
At least it is not to be found in France for fear is
individual and the Frenchman, dear life may be to
him. no longer lives for himself
! He is but part of great, dauntless nation which

one clear and fixed idea; for that dea France is

It was all unreal, unbelievable
