west to cast his fortune with the
cattlemen. AS it happened, she had
friends who were on the eve of start
ing for California, and she made
quick decision to travel with them.
When she calmly announced her inten-
ton of going out west her mother had
exclaimed in CONSERVATION and her
father, surprised into pathetic memory
Of the black sheep of the family, had
stared at her with glistening eyes.
"Why, Madeline! You want to see
that wild boy!' Then he had re-
verified to the anger he still felt for
his hayward son, and he had for
hidden Madeline to go. Her mother
forgot her naughty poise and dignity.
Madeline stood her ground, even to
reminding them that she was twenty
four and her own mistress. In the
end she had prevailed.
Madeline had planned to arrive in
Ell Cajon on October 3, her brothers
birthday, and she had succeeded,
though her arrival occurred at the
twenty-fourth hour. Her train had
been several hours late. Whether or
not the message had reached Alfred's
hands she had no means of telling,
and the thing which concerned her
now was the fact that she had arrived
and he was not there to meet her.
AS Madeline sat waiting in the vel
low gloom she heard the faint, inter-
mittent click of the telegraph instru-
ment, the low hum of wires, the occa-
sional stamp of an iron-shod hoof, and
distant vacant laugh rising above
the sounds of the dance. She became
conscious Of slight quickening Of
her pulse. Madeline had only a linn
tied knowledge of the West. Like all
of her class, she had Travelled Europe
and had neglected America. She had
been astounded at the interminable
distance she had Travelled, and if there
had been anything attractive to look
ct in all that journey she had passed
II in the night.
A faint sound like the rafting of
thin chains diverted Madeline's at
tention. At first she imagined it was
made by the telegraph wires. Then
she heard a step. The door swung
wide a tall man entered, and with
him came the clinking rattle She
realized then that the sound came
from his spurs.
"Will you please direct me to q
hotelY' asked Madeline, rising.
The cowboy removed his sombrero,
and the sweep he made with it and
the accompanying bow, despite their
eXaggeration, had a kind of rude
grace. He took two long strides
toward her.
Lady, are you marriedY'
In the past Miss Hammonds sense
of humOr had often helped her to over
look critical exactions natural to her
breeding She kept silence, and she
imagined it was just as well that her
veil hid her face at the moment. She
had been prepared to find cowboys
rather striking, and she had been
warned not to laugh at them
This gentleman of the range DELHI
erately reached down and took up her
| left hand. Before she recovered from
her start of amaze he had stripped
off her glove.
"Fine spark, but no wedding ring"
he drawled. Lady, Pm glad to see

He released her hand and returned
the glove.

CHAPTER 1
A Gentleman of the Range.

A Gentleman of the Range.
When Madeline Hammond stepped
from the train at Ell Cajon, New Mex
ito, it was nearly midnight, and her
first impression was of huge dark
space of cool, windy emptiness,
strange and silent, stretching away
under great blinking white stars.
Miss, there's no one to meet you,"
said the conductor anxiously.
81 wired my brother" she replied.
"He will be here presently. But, if he
should not cOme-surely / can find
hotelY'
There's lodgings to be had. If
you'll excuse me-this is no place for
a lady like you to be alone at night.
It's a rough little tOwn-mostly Mex
leans, miners, cowboys. And they
carouse lot. Besides, the revolu-
ton across the border has stirred up
some excitement along the line. Miss,
''Thank you. l am not in the least
afraid"
AS the train started to glide away
Miss Hammond walked toward the
dimly lighted station. She entered
the empty waiting-room. An oil-lamp
gave out a thick yellow light. A tele-
graph instrument clicked family.
Madeline Hammond crossed the
waiting-room to a window and, hold
ing aside her veil, looked out. At first
she could descry only few dim lights,
and these blurred in her sight. AS
her eyes grew accustomed to the dark
ness she saw a superbly built horse
standing near the window Beyond
was a bare square. Through a hole
in the windOw-glass came a cool
breeze, ard on it breathed a sound
that struck coarsely upon her cara
shout, and the tramp of boots to the
hard music of a photograph.
"Western revelry," mused Miss
Hammond, as she left the window
"Now, what to do? I'll wait here
Perhaps the station agent will return
soon, or Alfred will come for me-"
AS she sat down to wait she re-
viewed the causes which accounted
for the remarkable situation in which
she found herself That Madeline
Hammond should be alone, at late
hour, in a dingy little western rail-
road station, was indeed extraordi-
nary.
The close of her debutante year
had been married by the only unhappy
experience of her life-the disgrace
of her brother and his leaving home
She dated the beginning of certain
thoughtful! habit of mind from that
time and a dissatisfaction with the
brilliant life society offered her.
There had been months of unrest,
of curiously painful wonderment that
her position, her wealth, her pop
ularity no longer sufficed. She be-
fieved she had lived through the
dreams and fancies of a girl to be-
come a woman of the world And she
bad gone on as before, a part Of the
glittering show, but no longer blind
IA tie truth-that there was nothing
in her luxurious life to make it sig
nificant. And at last she knew what
she needed-to be alone, to brood for
long hours, to gaze out on lonely, ST.
lent, darkening stretches, to watch
the stars, to race her soul, to find her
real self.
Then 1t was she had first thought of

Women COMPARED With Clocks.

Women are like clocks. Some Of
them are fairly reliable with but little
attention, while others need almost
constant care, and it Is not always the
high-priced, jeweled ones that are
most dependable. They may have
pretty hands, pretty faces and pretty
movements, but they are liable to get
out of order, and when they do they
are all very hard to regulate.-Oregon
