a kind word occasionally.
The Runt had chosen as his Admir-
able Crichton a most engaging youth.
II never had been hard for any girl
to look at Clay Lindsay. His sun

gay smile the polse and the easy stride
OF him, made Lihd.'ay marked man
even In n country where men of splen-

His eyes now were watching the leap
Of the fire glow. The talk Of New York
had curried him bac': to a night on the
roundup three years before. lie was
thinking about slim girl standing on

her. Each stride brought them closer
to each other us they rony erged toward

gust of pnnlcky despair that they

she stood. Yet she did not run.
