= By the way, Colonel Pennington,
here is your axe, which borrowed this
afternoon. Much obliged for it's use.
The last up-train is probably waiting
on the siding at Freshwater to pass
the late ~lameDted; consequently q
walk Of about a mile will bring you a

quota. Walk leisurely-you have lots
Of time. AS for myself, I'm in hurry,
and my room is more greatly to be
desired than my company. so I'll start
now."
He lifted his hat, turned, and walked
briskly down the ruined track.
Shirley made little gesture of dis
sent, half opened her lips to call him
back, thought better of 1t, and let him
go. When he was out of sight, It
dawned on her that he had risked his
life to save hers.
"Uncle Seth," she said soberly,
what would have happened to us If
Bryce Cardigan had-not come up
here today to thrash your woods
boss?"
"We'd both be in Kingdom Come
now" he answered truthfully. But
before you permit yourself to be car
ried away by the splendor Of his ac-

getting 1t under control, it might be
well to remember that his own
precious hide was at stake also. He

the thought that he had done it for
her sake was very sweet to her and
would persist. "Cooped up in the ca
boose, we did not know the train was
running away until it was too late for
us to jump, while Bryce Cardigan,
riding out on the logs, must have
, known it almost Immediately. He
would have had time to jump before
the runaway gathered too much head
way-and he would have jumped,
Uncle, Seth, for his fathers sake"
''Well, he certainly didn't stay for
mine. Shirley
She dried her moist eyes and blushed
furiously. uncle Seth" she pleaded,
taking him lovingly by the arm, '1et's

mixing sentiment and business; If
you persist, the result will be chaos
Cardigan is practically pauper now,
which makes him poor business risk,
and you'll please me greatly by leav-
ing him severely alone-by making
him keep his distance"
'sPll not do that" she answered with
quiet finality that caused her uncle
to favor her with a quick. searching
glance

looked up at him. He held his hand
kerchief over his CORY face that the
sight might not distress her; he could
have whooped with delight at the JOY
that flashed through her wet lids.

sternly, come down here this instant"
'T'm not pretty sight, Shirley. Bet

She stamped her foot. "Come here !"
'WeIl, since you insist" he replied,
and he slid down the bank.
