"Nothing"
"Well, hardly anything"
"And you weren't afraid?"
"Not with-you here"
The Misunderstanding statemen

"And you're not afraid now?"
"Only that they might find you. why

"Then-I must follow him."
He rose from the sofa. Hat he hao
none-it was tramped to rags in the
dust and dirt of the village under the
wide reaching limbs of the oak-but
he began hitching together the strips
and tatters of his blouse.
The girl sprang up and faced him.
"You! Why, you can hardly stand"
1--WE must find out whether he goes
back to the village or down to Fallen
Rock. Everything depends on know
ing that"
He made step toward the door.

She was at the door Of the kitchen
before he could stop her, her haste
the greater. perhaps, because she
knew he would stop her. He reached
her arm just as she raised the latch.

"It's your place to stay right here
and gain strength for your big plan
tonight. Why, it's only a little ten
minute run-and l know every bush

His PLAN! Everything depended on
it-on his being able to carry II
through. He could not move till the
time came, and that would be when
the dark came. 1t would ruin every
thing to be seen too soon. And yet
he must know which way the man
went. Much depended on whether he
fed his horse now, or went on to the
village and came back after night to
feed him. The Pearlhunter hesitated,
wavering between a very keen and un'
spoiled chivalry and a very insisten'
expediency.

She laughed merrily.

POSTAL men
TO Be ARMED
HAYS WILL GIVE $4,000 REWARD
FOR CAPTURE OF EACH
RoBeER.
WAR ON MAIL BANDITS
DRASTIC METHODS WILL BE
USED TO STOP STEALING
OF MAIL.
lw..i,rn xss.p.per Union New. ssrles.l

Washington, April 11.-Daring hold
ups. terrorizing of defenseless postal
clerks. and the stealing of thousands
of dollars worth of valuable mail are
going to be things of the past, Post
master General VIII III. Hays said in II
statement in which he sounded Il warn
ing that these criminals will be han
died rs they We're in the old Wells
Fargo days" in the West.
Aiming of all postal employees en-
gagged in handling valuable mail and
the offering of II reward of $4,000 to
any person who brings in Il mail rob
ber were announced as the first steps
in the governments plan to stop the
stealing of mail.
The postmaster generals decision
that these robberies must stop and
stop now," came after a conference
with number of postoffice inspectors.
and 1t is understood that they placed
before him not only their recommends
tions, but confidential reports of all
robberies which have taken place dur
ing the past two years.
We are going to use every power
available to stop these robberies,
Postmaster General Hays said.
NO matter how drastic the method
is, if it will be effective we will put
it into practice. The West knows how
TO handle these criminals, just as they
used to in the old WellsFargo days.
Numerous mail robberies during the
past two years have caused the Post
Department and its corps of inspectors
concern, and when Postmaster General
Hays took office one of the first prob
lens which confronted him was Il
method for bringing to an immediate
halt IA nationwide series of daring rob-
berries which had kept unarmed postal
employees in constant fear of their
lives.
Employees on mail trains have in
some instances been armed, but regu-
lations of the Postoffice Department
have not permitted the adequate pro-
tecting of employs in local postoffices
and sub-stations.
1t is at these places, according to
records of the more recent robberies,
that the majority of the mail holdups
have been committed.
Officials of the Postoffice Depart
ment and the Department of Justice
who have investigated many of these
robberies have expressed the belief
that some of them We're committed by
persons who had ''inside information"
gained, it is believed, by members of
well organized gangs, who had OBJ
tanned positions of trust in the postal
service.

things; first of all, that he bowed to
necessity; second, that he would come
again. Astonished, mortified, baffled-
that, most of all baffled-he doubtless
salved his pride with that second
thought: He would come again. The
girl sensed something of what smol-
dered deep in the bold eyes-eyes that
good woman could hardly meet with
out dishonor. But there were plans
afoot-and she trusted them.
Listen. I'll give you time to get
out of sight, If you walk fast. If you
look back, or If you are in sight when
l think the time is up, I'll shoot; and
I'll hit what shoot at"
He studied the eyes back of the re-
volver. What he saw whirled him
around. his hands still up, and started
him back down the path. The farther
he went the faster he went. In less
time than she had thought. he had
passed the turn and disappeared.
She closed the door, laid the revol-
yer on the table beside the sewing bas-
ket. crossed the room to the sofa. The
Pearlhunter had come out from behind
the curtains, admiration running riot
in his eyes.
II wish ! knew some way to tell
you" he said, how proud I am to
know girl like you. don't know a
man. that could have done it. And

feel like a-a-tailOr."
She looked up at him, tried to smile !;
the smile was a failure. Her lips
quivered; her eyes fell. To the Pearl
hunters amazement she dropped down
on the sofa and burst into tears. He
stood shifting from one foot to the
other. puzzled and helpless. 1t was
beyond him. He sat down beside her,
reached forth his cne free hand and
laid 1t upon her hahn
"Why-don't cry! It's-all over
now!"
he frowned in an effort to think of
something else to say. But all he could
think Of was: Don't cry" and that
didn't seem to do any good. He was
thinking some very uncompIimentary
things about his clumsy and awkward
self. when she looked up. The man
stared. She was laughing-a nervous

CHAPTER XII.
Box Twenty-Three.

The Pearlhunter stood in the kitchen
door. feeling no little disgrace. and
watched the 1.-THE form of the girl dart
in among the bushes that lined the
cliff where 1t looped east, enclosing
the little pocket of level woods where
the cabin stood. He saw her stop
suddenly. She stood listening a mo-
ment; came flying back.
To the question on his face she an
swered by closing the door and mo-
tioning him into the main room and to
the window by the sewing table. A
small boy came whistling up the path
"Its the grandson of the good old
storekeeper I told you about" she
whispered.
They both laughed as she pushed
him toward the curtains. laughed
though 1t irked the man no little to go
into hiding at the sound of every foot
step-in a girls room at that, while
she stood guard.
"Ask him about the hunt today" he
whispered. "And above all, ask him
If he met man."
She nodded and pulled the curtains
close. The next moment she had
opened the door.
"Well, Billy! Glad to see you. Come
right in"
Billy did come in. But Billy wasn't
speaking. Through the little gap In
the curtain the Pearlhunter could see
him standing just inside the door. Billy
was by no means prepossessing
oungster-barefooted thin Skinned
very decidedly pigeon-toed. his sharp
little face was deliberately and pic
turesquely freckled. There were
freckles enough for a big face. and
Billy's face was small. so small that
some Of the freckles had to stand up
edseways to find room. But his eyes
roundings. looked out sharp and bright
from under his frazzled straw hat
They were very busy Just then ip ak.
ing down. one by one, every featu.; OF
the room, from wall to wall, from Ear.
pet to loft joists.
The girl closed the door, put an xrm
about the slim little mite under the
ragged hat and led him to the dig easy
chair-the stricken old mans chaif-
near the middle Of the room; brought
the smaller rocking chair from her
sewing table and sat down by hini.
The little fellow tried to lean back
In the big chair. 1t was far too deep
He sat up straight, swinging his feet
and continued his methodIcal survey
Of the room.
"How In the world did you ever nnd
your way, Billy. out here In the
woods7"
The sharp little eyes looked hIr
companion over-coolIy; q tiny shade
ccntemptuously.

just in front of 1t"
The pressure on the door increased.
The Pearlhunter saw the girl brace
| her body against 1t. The door began
to give tiny mite at tristan inch
two inches
He could stand it no longer. He
was in the very act of sweeping the
curtains aside when the girls right
arm, the one hid behind the door,
dropped to her side. Her hand went
into the folds of her dress. When 1t
came out it held the revolver he had
cleaned and put in order the night be-
fore. She cooked the weapon and
man on the step barely saved himself
from sprawling in upon the floor by
clutching the door jamb. When he re-
gained his balance, he was gazing into
the muzzle of a very steady and de-
pendable looking siX-gun. At first
flush he actually thought 1t was n joke.
"You wouldn't shoot a mani"
HIS voice had lost its Jaunty assur-
ance.

down the steady barrel, "but I'd shoot
a snake"
There was no chance Of misunder-

He knew. He slowly raised his
hands. The expression in his eyes

Can you stand more camphor?" she
asked.
'I'll swim in 1t, II 1t will get me up.
The girl laughed. moistened the cot
ton and laid IL on the wound. He did
not even vince. The sting of II had
become to him a necessity, the CRATE
full means to an end that must be ac-
complished. Without tonight there
could be no tomorrow. She saturated
more of the cotton, laid 1t on the cash
and bandaged 1t there. drew the blouse
back into place. smoothed the pillow
under his head and went to the
kitchen.
He heard the rattle of the stove, and
knew that she was preparing him
something to eat. 1t moved him. for
he knew how pitiful little that kitchen
held. and yet she was going to share
1t with him-the best of it-share 1t
with a smile, and the grace Of prin-
cess. He swore to himself that there
should be food In that kitchen tomor-
row.
She was back In surprisingly short
time. bearing tray of such food as
she bad been able to prepare hastily
and black coffee.
He was sound asleep.
She tiptoed back to the kitchec. set
the tray on the stove hearth where 1t
would keep warm, re-entered the room,
drew chair up beside the sofa, and
kept the buzzing flies away from his
face while he slept.
Noon came and passed. Several
times she went to the kitchen to mend
the fire and keep the tray warm many
a time she slipped from, window to
window, and listened at the doors for
sound of the hunters that somewhere
combed the woods. The shadows
turned eastward and still the man
slept. The day had worn away to mid
afternoon when he tossed restlesSly
and flung his right arm above his head.
The movement seemed to provoke the
hurt. He came awake-with the quick
intuition of the woodsman knew he
had slept long. He started to rise.
She sprang up and laid her hand on
his shoulder.
But I mustn't impose on you like
this" he protested.
Didn't you say little bit ago that
was the doctor?"
That dry smile that always started
in his eyes first. crawled out across
his face.
Then command you to stay right
where you are" she answered to the
slow smile, as she hurried out to tine
kitchen and carried in the tray.
She sat down beside him on the
couch. fixed his arm easy in the sling.
put sugar in the black coffee. and even
buttered his toast. The Pearlhunter
had never lived in such luxury. 1t
was dream-like some of the stories
of fairies and enchanted palaces his
mother used 10 tell of years ago in the
long winter evenings on the house
boat. He half feared that he might
not really be awake; that, after all. II
might turn out to be some trick, like
that Of the gorge that closed
She rose, pushed away the table and
helped him back upon the couch.

smoothing the pillow under his head.
