The SheriH's
Prisoner
BY CLARISSA MACKIE.

- -
C. 1924. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
The new sheriff of Armadillo cOun-
ty halted his horse, then abruptly
whirled the animal behind large
rock and slipped out Of the saddle.
From his position he could peer
around the rock and obtain clear
view of the Armadillo schoOlhouse,
forty feet away. 1t was late on Sat
urday afternoon and Of course there
was no school, but the front door OF
the building was ajar.
1t happened that the sheriff was
looking for a thief that afternoon, the
one who had broken into the school,
house and stolen several things be-
longing to pupils and to Link LARA
bee, the school teacher. School books,
copy paper, pens, pencils, clothing
carelessly left there, stray umbrellas,
had vanished into nothlngness, and so
John Wayne, one Of the trustees, had
called on the sheriff and in his close
mouthed way vouched the information
that 1t would be well to keep an eye
on the schOOlhouse.
And the first moment that Sheriff
Harry Gray turned a pair of hand
some, though honest, blue eyes toward
the schOolhouse he scented clue.
Presently he heard footsteps on the
bare boards inside, the door opened
wider and big girl stepped out,
closing the door softly and locking it.
The key she slipped into a pocket Of
an old gray coat she wore.
On her arm she carried some cloth
ing, one or two coats and bright
wool cap.
She glanced hurriedly around, lis
tened for an instant and then .darted
around the building and took the trail
that led back through the trees to-
ward the river.
The sheriff smiled grimly and shook
his head. He was very young
sheriff, and 1t had not been so many

years since he had attended that lit
tie schoolhouse himself and absorbed
knowledge under the tutelage Of Link
Larrabee himself, and so that made
him very sorry to think that any girl
In Armadillo would be small enough
the school.
Gee, it's my luck to have to catch
q girl, first throw" he grumbled as
he mounted his horse and started up
the trail after the girl. "She's a
mighty pretty one at that-hair like
bronze, and some color What's she
doing with bunch Of old rags-hey !"
he called abruptly as she stood aside
to let him pass.
"Well?" she asked coolly, but he
saw the scared look in her eyes and
hated himself.
"Where you going with all those
clothes and things out Of the school
houseT
''You want theseY she asked
amazedly, holding them out
He took them from her willing
hands, placing them awkwardly across
his saddle bow. I'm right sorry to
have to do this-a nice girl like you"
'Tf you have what you want you
had better ride on" she said, stepping
back.
"I don't know but what shall take
you along, MISS" he said gravely.
take me?" There was terror In
her voice.
"Yes'm. I should arrest you"
"You? Arrest meT' He was sur
prised to see that she was holding a
little blue-steel weapon In her right
hand.
SCOT me covered, ehT" he laughed
softly, but his eyes did not laugh. He
was full of pity for a girl so astound-
ipgly pretty and who was>so wicked.
"You must be one of Mart Johnson's
eirls-over OF the Cretk," he ventured
after an uncomfortable moment under
the blazing defiance of her eyes.
"Mart Johnson? Who Is he?" she
asked coldly.
81 thought he might be your father"
"No," she said.
"weIl. are you coming with meT"
ne asked after another moment.
"No."
"You're Under arrest, ma'am."
She frowned little and then smiled
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1921-11-04

in friendly way that delighted him.
He asked himself why the smile of q
mere girl-a girl he was taking to
Jail, too-should set his heart to gal
Looping.
"YesL remember that. / will walk
beside you II you don't mind"
He slipped to the ground and ten
dered his mount. Its some little
ride. MISS" he insisted.
Presently she consented, and he
lifted her into the big saddle. She
chung to the pommel with both hands.
He watched her from under his lashes
with growing perplexity. Clues were
crowding upon him fast enough.
do you know Mr.. Wagner he
asked after they had travelled awhile.
She hesitated. "You mean the
school trustee"
That's right. I'm taking you to
his place, Flat Hills. He sent me to
catch somebody who was rObbing the
schoolhouse, and, worse luck, l found
you right away, so you've got to see
the old gentleman, and If he says lock-
up, why I'll be hanged If I take you
there"
That's good Of you," she said CRATE
fully.
you can't be from ArmadillO cOun-
ty, miss; you wouldn't hold on to a
saddle that way" he told her.
''What way would you hold it?" she
asked demurely.
mot at all. Armadillo girls ride
like squaws. Here's old Wayne's
place now. If you don't try to squirm
out of 1t, miss, I'll do the best can
for you, but you better come clean out
and tell me the whole thing" he
pleaded earnestly.
She bent her head and smiled, then
she lifted 1t proudly. ''Tm not trying
to squirm out of anything. 1t Is sim
pie. left some things in the school
house-in fact, my trunk was left
there by mistake and couldn't get

and took them out Of my trunk. Some
one will come for my trunk tomorrow,
and now" She smiled at him wick
eddy.
who are your" he asked abruptly.
"The new school teacher-stopping
at Mr.. Wayne's, If you please, Mr..
Sheriff, and now that we are here,
may I have my things? And oh.
thank your
She watched him ride away, admir-
Ing the swaying grace Of horse and
rider. ''He said he was sorry" she
smiled to herself. II know he isn't
sorry, and 1 am glad, but I was afraid
at first. I thought he was a real
bandit" She leaned against the post
and laughed helplessly.
"You seem mighty happy" grunted
Mr.. Wayne as he Hoped across the
yard.
"Pm going to be-" she ventured
daringly. For once their eyes had
met and chung, and she knew he would
come riding back again, and yet again.
II am happy" she whispered to her
self, and 1t was almost as If she could
see the man with dreaming eyes who
was riding past the ranch in the dark
ness, only to see light In the window
Of the house which sheltered her.

ESTABLISHED BY JEFFERSON
Coast and Geodetic Survey First
United States Scientific Bureau
Organized.

The average citizen may not be
more than vaguely aware that there is
such bureau as the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey, but If he
will look around his town he will
find at the pOstoffice or the First
National bank building or maybe the
railway station a small metal plate
embedded In the foundation stone
upon which are engraved certain
cabalistlc letters and figures, to-
gether with the name Of the sur
vey. He will know therefrom that
at some time in the past the bureau
passed his way and tlcketed his town
for all time; the "bench mark" that
has been thus established Is ever there
after the arbiter Of all disputes that
have to do with the physical nature Of
the community In which It is placed,
even down to the property lines and
metes and bounds Of the home place.
The first scientific bureau to be
organized by this country. after 1t
had won its independence, is the one
now known as the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey. The Govern
ment early recognized the fact that
the prosperity Of the country depended
upon the safety of navigation and the
growth Of commerce.
It was during the administration
Of Thomas Jefferson that Ferdinand
R. Hassler, then occupying the chair
Of mathematics in the military acad-
envy at West Point, was commits
stoned to organize a bureau for the
survey Of the coasts and harbors Of
the United States.
