A Woman Who Wouldn't Remarry
BY Idah McGlone Gibson

thought would suit us and l de-
rermined to have all my wedding
presents packed at once, ana sent
to the rooms before / arrived.
One part Of Halls letter interes-
ted me greatly. 1t said: Il met
Nell Marshall at the foot OF the
hill Yesterday as was going home
Her mother is very i'll and she has
been obliged to postpone her trip
She seemed quite disappointed
that she will not be able to visit
your city while you are there. Nell
is pleased to think that we are
going to have little home OF our
own. I'm glad you like her, Alix.
[ am very fond of her, and some
way, she has an attraction Tor
me that no other woman | ha''s
ever known possesses-not even
you, my dear"
| had to smile at all this, for
Nell Marshall had told me almost
the same thing about my husband
And yet l was not jealous. | did
not care enough about it to ask
Hal what the attraction was that
proved SO fascinating.
However, this assertion OF Halls
had one effect upon me. | deter
mined to accept that invitation to
ride which Duane Benton had
given me.
Poor girl" Halls letter conti-
nued, speaking OF Nell Marshall,
Il don't know what she is going
to do when her mother dies. 1t is
foregone conclusion that this is
her mothers last illness. She told
me yesterday, with an assumption
of bravery, that she thought she
would have to join musical COM
edy chorus as the only thing that
she could do was to dance well and
sing indifferently. She tells me
she will be Obliged to earn her liv-
ing, as the small income upon
which her mother and she have
been living will cease at her moth
er's death.
"Nell seemed so blue and unhap-
py that / walked home with her
and stayed to supper. She said the
house had been so still that she
thought If she were not to talk TO
some one who was we'll. she would |
go mad. Although they have a |
very good nurse, Nell spends most
Of her time In her mothers sick
room.
''I tried my best to cheer her up
and I guess succeeded, for when |
left, later than | intended. she |
asked me to come again soon. I'm
glad you're not q jealous person,
Alix, for I really do think that poor |
girl needs all the comfort ! can
give her-and besides, l am lone
SOME.
Dad has made another imam
cial arrangement with me which
Is going to make US very comfort
able. am sending you in this let
Ter a check for 500, and If you DO

CHAPTER V-contlnued.

Harry felt the beauty of the scene
but saw and enjoyed more the fnce of
BIN Kelso as he worked and planned
his own house-no cabin, but a man.
sion like that of Judge Harper in the
Village near his old home. He had
nlled every crevice In the rear wall
and was working on the front when
he heard the thunder of running
horses and saw figures, dim In a
cloud of dust, flying up the road
again. He thought of the threat of
Bap McNoll. 1t occurred to him that
he would be in bad way alone with
those ruffians If they were coming for
revenge. He thought of running
toward the grove, which was few
rods from the rear door of the house,
and hiding there. He couldn't bear to
run. BIN and all the rest Of them
would hear Of 1t. So with the sickle
In his right hand he stood waiting in
side the house and hoping they
wouldn't stop. They rode up TO the
door and dismounted quietly and hob
bled their horses. There were five of
them who crowded into the cabin with
McNoll In the lead.
Nov, you young rooster, you're
goin' to git what's comm to yOu," he
growled.
The boy faced them Dravely and
warned them away with his sickle.
They were prepared for such emer-
gencles. One Of them drew a bag Of
bird shot from his pocket and hurled
1t at Harry's head. 1t hit him full in
the face and he staggered against the
wall stunned by the blow. They
rushed upon the boy and disarmed
and bore him TO the floor. For n little
time he knew not whnt was passing.
When he came to, his hands and feet
were tied and the men stood near
cursing and laug, hing, while their
leader, McNoll, was draining a bottle.
Suddenly he heard a voice trembling
with excitement and wet with tears
saying:
you go way from here or I'll kill
you dead. So help me God I'll kill
you. If one o. you touches him he's
goin' to die"
He saw BIN Kelso at the window
with her gun leveled at the head OF
McNoll. Her face was red with anger
Her eyes glowed. AS he looked a tear
welled from one of them and tralled
down the scarlet surface OF her cheek
lMcNoll turned without a word and
walked sulkily out of the back door
The others crowded after him. They
ran as soon as they had got out Of the
door. She left the window. In d mo
ment the young men were galloping
away.
BIN came into the house sobbinp
with emotion but with her head erect
She stood her gun In a corner and
knelt by the helpless hoy. He was
crying also. Her hair fell upon his
face as she looked at the spot Of deer
scarlet color made by the shot bag
She kissed 1t and held her cheek
against his and whispered: "Dont
cry. It's oil over now. I'm going tC
cut these ropes"
1t was as II she had known and
loved him always. She was rue 8

Tenderly she wiped his tears away
