NA D The NdkC0W PUNCHER Sz&A~SjG21Ex. By Robert JC.S <AGS 2HSSsENsxHI2rSFSEAE Q1thorof 9U E lgGNN1S%9 kitchener and other ' hvinNyer
CHAPTER !.

The shadows of the spruce trees Hell northeastward, pointing long, cool fingers across belts of undulating prairie or leaning lazily against the Brown foothills. And among the Eees it was cool and green, and clear blue water rippled over beds of shin Ing gravel.
 ' The house was of round, straight Bags: the shingles of the squat roof were cupped and blistered with the suns of many summers. Refuse loi- kered about the open door: many ampty tins, leaky barrel with miss Ing hoops, boxes, harness, tangled bits of wire. Once there had been fence. a sort of picket fence of little sap fo pieces and range steers had strag- Kied unscarred across it's scattered remnants.
 Forward. and to the left, was a small corral, mill slabs on end or Fences of lodgepole pine; corner somewhat covered in, offering vague protection from the weather. The up- VSf pores were WOTu Llllu WlIu LuC erfbbing of many horses.
 The desertion seemed absolute; the hilence was the silence of the unspo- Ken places. But suddenly it was bro- Ken by stamping in the covered part of the corral, and a mans voice say Ing:
 Hip, there! Whoa, you cayuse Set under your saddle! Sleepin' against a. post all day, you Sloppy sye. Hip! Come to it p

framed in the open window and the moonlight painted her face to the pur- est ivory and toyed with the rich brown fastness of her hair and gleamed from a single ornament at her throat. She was under spell. She was in new world, where were manhood, and silence, and the realities of being, and moonlight, and great gulfs of shadow between the hills, and large, friendly stars, and soft breezes pushing this way and that without definite direc' ton, and strange, quiet noises from out of the depths, and the incense of the evergreens, and q young horseman galloping into the night. And conven- tions had been swept away, and 1t was correct to live, and to live!
 The first flush of dawn was mellow ing the eastern sky when the girl was awakened from uneasy sleep by sounds in the yard in front of the ranch house.
 The stars were still shining bright ly through the cold air. In the faint light she could distinguish team and wagon and men unhitching. She ap- preached and, in q voice that sounded strangely distant in the vastness of the calm night, called:
 "Is that you, Dave?"
 And in a moment she wondered how she had dared call him Dave. But she soon had other cause for wonder, for
 he boy replied from near beside her,
 fin that tone of friendly confidence
 which springs so spontaneously in the darkness:
 "Yes, Reenie, and the doctor, too. We'll have Mir. Hardy fixed up in no time. How did he stand the nightT How dared he call her Reenie? A i flush of resentment rose in her breast,
 only to be submerged in the sudden re- membrance that she had first called him Dave. That surely gave him the right to address her as he had done. Then she remembered she was in the
 ranch country, sin the foothills, where the conventions-the conventions she hated-had not yet become rooted, and
 where the souls of men and women stood bare in the clear light of frank acceptance of the fact. 1t would be { dle-dangerous-to trifie with this boy by any attempt at concealment or de ception.
 She could see his form now as he led the horses toward the corral. How straight he was, and how bravely his footsteps fell on the hard earthi aHa,c n xwnpdoY-f,,l how p aaId fho d0r~ tor, of whose presence she had been

unconscious. "Cafs eyes. Full gallop through the dark; side-hills, mountain streams, up and down; breakneck. Well. here we are" The doctor breathed deeply, as though this last fact was one to occasion some won derment. "Your brother tells me you have an injured man here. Accident. Stranger, believe? Well, shall we go in?" f.s.....
 Brother But why should she explain Dave hadn't bothered. Why hadn't he7 He had told about the stranger. Why had he not told about both strangers2 Why had he ignored her altogether7 . This time came another flush, born of that keen womanly intuition which un- derstands.
 With a commonplace she led the doc tor into the house and to the bedside of her father. When the operation was completed the girl turned her at- tention to the kitchen, where she found Dave, sweating in vicarlous suf- fering. He had helped to draw the limb into place and 1t had been his first close contact with human pain. It was different from branding calves and he had slipped out of the room as soon as possible. The morning sun was now pouring through the window and the distraught look on the boys face touched her even more than the frankness of the words spoken in the darkness. She suddenly remembered that he had been up all nIght-for her. She would not deceive herself with the thought that 1t was for her fathers sake Dave had galloped to town, found a doctor, secured n fresh team and driven back along the little-used foot hill trails. No doubt Dave would have done it all for her father, had her fa- ther been there alone, but as things were she had a deep conviction that he had done 1t for her. And 1t was with greater effort than seemed req sonable that she laid her fingers on his arm and said:
 "Thank you, Dave."
 "What for?" he asked, and she could not doubt the genuineness of his ques- tion.
 "Why, for bringing the doctor, and all that. I am sure I can't-father won't be able to-"
 "Oh, shuclsw " he interrupted, with manner which, on the previous after noon, she would have called rudeness. "That's nothin'. But, say, l brought home some grub. The chuck here was pretty tame. Guess you found that out last night" He looked about the room and she knew that he was taking note of her house-cleaning, but he made no remark on the subject.
 "Well, let's get breakfast" she said, after a moments pause and for lack of other conversation. "You must be hungry"
 Dave's purchases had been liberal. They included fresh meat and vegeta' bles, canned goods, coffee, rice and raisins. He laid the last three items on the table with a great dissembling of indifference, for he was immensely proud of them. They were unwonted items on the Elden bill of fare; he had bought them especially for her. But she busied herself at the breakfast without thought of the epoch-mark- ing nature of these purchases,

 Che air, then dashed at gallop down the roadway, bearing the boy as un- eoncerned as a flower on its stem.
 Suddenly he brought his horse to a Stop, swung about, and rode back at D gentle canter. A few yards from ahe house he again spurred him to a eallop, and, leaning far down by the hnimal's side deftly picked a bottle From among the grass. Then he circled about, repeating this operation as bitten as his eye fell on a bottle, until Ne had half a dozen; then down the road again. carefully setting a bottle IBn each post of the fence that skirted 9k to the right.
 Again he came back to the house. But when he turned his eye was on hhe row of posts and his right hand Hay on the grip of his revolver. Again Mfs sharp yell broke the silence and Ahe horse dashed forward as though shot from a gun. Down the road they went until within rod of the first Bottle; then there was a flash in the sunlight and to the chatter of the horse's hoofs came the crack-crack ,Df the revolver. Two bottles shivered 10 fragments, but four remained in- tact, and the boy rode back, muttering and disappointed. He reasoned with his horse as he rode:
 "'Tain't no use, you OP SlOp-eye {; a fellow can't get the bead if he ain't got the fi!ln'-cooked meals an de- cent chuck. I could plug lem six out e' six-you know that, you oP flop ears.

 But he had reloaded his revolver and set up two more bottles. This time he broke four and was better pleased with himself. As he rode back his soliloquy was broken by a strange sound from beyond the belt of trees. The horse pricked up his ears and the boy turned in the saddle to listen. rJumpin' crickets Whats loose?" he calculated. He knew every sound of the foothill country, but this was strange to him.
