New p. o. Ruling.

NEW r. y. hUTTT9.
The latest edict from the postoffice
department is that the delivery and
stamp windows are to remain open
during postoffice hours. This may be
a good thing in some respects, but it
also has its disadvantages. as it takes
the clerks longer to distribute mail
and at the same time attend. to calls
at the window. Another Objectionable
feature is that patrons waiting for
mail in boxes never know when the
mail is all up. One might leave be-
fore important mail was deposited in
the box, or stand around with his
tongue hanging out when there was
nothing doing" Nevertheless, this is
the ruling.

CHAPTER VIII.

Madge and Allen were sitting on
the very rock from which the two girls
had been kidnapped. For a long time
they held each others eyes. Without
self-consciousness they looked at each
other In admiration. 1t vas Allen who
broke the sweet silence.
"Madge, cannot help telling you
that ] have enjoyed this trip TO the
| Rockies far more than anything |
have done, and this visit to the mine
and the Lonesome Trail as you call
1t, gives me the happiest moments Of
my life"
AS he finished speaking Madge
looked down and deep flush made
her more beautiful than ever. 81. too.
have enjoyed it," came the reply. Then
almost in the same breath she con-
tinued, "But won't you please tell me
about the green veil?" As she con-
cluded Madge looked up with appeal
Ing eyes Of bewilderment.
THAT'S what seems to perplex YOU,
Is ft?" asked Allen as the last echo
OF his silvery laugh sounded far or
down the mountain. "Well, as the old
saying goes" he continued. there Is
nothing like making clean breast of
1t, so here goes. You see, Scott league
and | were out hunting old Silver King
"A man-killing grizzly bear. As you
know, Morrison creek Is up close TO
the divide and there is deep snow on
this side of the mountain until late in
the summer. A heavy crust freezes
over II at night and the bear being
wise animal, stays around his den all
day waiting for the crust to form.
then he travels. The sun heats down
on the snow and the reflection is not
only binding but 1t burns the flesh.
Hence the green veil. And as for that
ho'd-up, there was no frame-up about
It, While following large timber

we turned the bend at Finger rock.
You know the rest"
As Allen finished speaking he noted
a smile steal over Madge's face, ana

"But, do you think going about the
mountains holding up stage coaches

Madge in doubtful tone, as she gave
him look Of reprOaCh.
"Thp witness declines IN incr,p,In,ta

Then they locked at each other and
the whole world seemed to smile.

will all be given to him"

Graham guardian., 1920-05-28

Tn turning around Allen noted
Madge and Ena in whispered con-
versation. Going down to the stream
he took from his pocket small fold
ing cup, filed it with water. and re-
turned to the rock. "There is moth
ones spirit at times" he ventured as
he proffered the cup to Madge
-'Oh, how can we ever express our
feelings to you and your kind friend
for what you have done for u.s." Madge
replied In tremulous voice as she
accepted the cup to share its contents
with Ena.
YES" remarked Ena, you have
saved our lives"
"Please don't mention It," inter
rupted Allen. 81 assure you we did
nothing more than our duty"
"You are wounded" exclaimed
Madge with look of pain on her pale
face. Cant we do something for
your" she concluded.
"We're all right now." called out
Scott, as he brought Don Pedro, wet
and bedraggled, limplng up the hill.

this one all that the water cure had to
get 1t. This scoundrel says Mexican
Mike has gone to plant dynamite in
the mine which he intends to blow up
tomorrow night. Mikes due TO return

go down the canyon to intercept him.
You better return to the horses and go
out by the trail"
"All right" responded Allen; "we'll
catch up with you before long"
81 beg your pardon, but to whom are
we bcholden for our freedom" asked
Madge as she gave a smile to her res
cuers.
Madame" he spoke courteously
and lifted his hat, "Allen Barrows. at

only say that we thank you from the
bottom Of our hearts. When Madge
finished speaking two big tears rolled
down her cheeks. She held out her
hand and as he took it within his own
he felt a great thrill of delight Then
his heart was touched by pity for II
was patent that she had suffered much
since the hour of her capture, as II was
plainly written upon her beautiful
face
Allen felt pang digging at his heart
as he noted the unrestraIned tears
glistening on her long lnshes. Then
gently he released the soft little hand
he had been holding in forgetfulness.
She glanced up quickly at him and he
noted a sudden change.

CHAPTER WI.

With sudden rush Scott league
relieved Allen of the slender forms he
still claSped. He placed them in safety
and returned to Allen, who was rising
slowly. "You're hurtl Let me help
YOU" calculated Scott as he assisted
Allen TO his feet.
"Never mind me; I'm all right.
Where are they?'
Behind the boulder. But tell me
what has happened"
"Only one IN there and he's hog
tied; go get him"
No sooner had Scott disappeared in
the dark hole than Allen walked to
the large boulder. A look Of great
surprise illuminated his features as he
gazed into the glrlish faces that were
turned in bewilderment upon him.
Lifting his hat. he said in soft,
low voice: 81 beg your pardon. but
there Is no longer any cause for fear.
You are IN the hands OF friends who
will see you safely home"
Madge Morris looked at the speaker
as though she were dumfounded. Not
q question did she ask, not word did
she utter-but those big, bright blue
eyes seemed to grow larger, bluer and
brighter as she looked at her rescuer.
Silently she sat staring at him as II In
a dream. "Youl YOU I" were her only
words as a cloud seemed to sweep over
her face.
And, why notr asked Allen.
Madge looked at Ena and Ena looked
at Madge.
Here's your man" said Scott as he
deposited Don Pedro on the ground
like sack of grain you must have
given him pretty rough treatment for
he's just coming to"
"Where do you suppose Mexican
Mike ,s2" queried Nllen.
"Dont know bn wen soon end

unbound the prisoners feet and pushed
him forward to small mountain
stream down In the canyon.

asked.

Of the knife had hit rib and glanced
short ways. The wound In his left
arm did not reach the bone but 1t bled
freely.
"Mr. Barrows, you said you were not
hurt, but you are" exclaimed Madge,
her face marked with sympathy.
"Please tell me, is it serous?"
Nothing but a scratch" Allen re-
piled. However, | will ask you to
kindly fasten this bandage."
Quickly stepping to his side, Madge
carefully wound the bandage about his
arm and fastened it. AS she did so
their eyes met /and faint flush crept
over her cheeks. Drawing himself up
to his full height. unconsciously he

denly brought to a halt. Directly in
front Of them stood Scott Teague
smoking his pipe, apparently in per-
feet peace, while a few feet from him
lay Mexican Mike carefully bound.
ITS all over now but the shouting"
was Scott's cheerful greeting.
Graham guardian., 1920-05-28

Allen then produced the little blue
steel pistol that Madge had looked
upon with, so much interest. scott
Teague,' he explained, found 1t on
Mexican Mike, all properly loaded"
THAT is the way | carried IT," re-
piled Madge. But" she continued,
'it does seem as though the revolver
hasn't accomplished much for me- And
yet ] would feel lost without IT,"
A pistol shot rang out as a small
rock went flying Off the ground
Good shotl" exclaimed Allen; "you
certainly do know how to shoot. Guess
1t was good thing for me when | re-
moved those cartridges from that old
gun of mine before exchanging with
you"
With a fascinating smile Madge
said: Perhaps | am more dangerous
than look"
'What! You dangerous?" exclaimed
Allen as he grasped her little hand in
his. "Why, Madge dear, you are the
most kindly woman in the world. |
love youl I have loved you from the
first moment looked into your soul
stirring eyes. 1t was love at first
sight. Since then l have done nothing
but dream of you night and day. Tell
me. Madge, there is hope!"
With downcast eyes Madge sat In
silence-her soul being thrilled as she
felt his hand tremble. Such was the
true love she had dreamed of-twin
souls that speak as one.
Quietly she withdrew her hand and
gently she took his arm and silently
placed it about her slender waist. The
two forms thrilled like an electric
fash. Allen held her against him and
kissed her passionately.
That night when Allen Barrows met
Jim Elliot each knew the other had
won. Congratulations were In order.
