seemed long way off. 'But that was
coming to you, 80 be game. Here!"
She felt something hard and cold
and metallic thrust into her hand. He
made her fingers close over it, hold it.
The feel Of the thing revived her. She
opened her eyes. Stewart had given
her his gun. He stood with his broad
breast against her knee, and she
looked up to see that old mocking
smile on his face.

Be thoroughbred
Madeline did not yet grasp his mean
ing.
"You can put me down in that
quiet place on the hill-beside Monty
Price"
Madeline dropped the gun with a
shuddering cry Of horror. The sense
Of his words, the memory Of Monty,
the certainty that she would kill Stew
art If she held the gun an instant
longer, tortured the self-accusing cry
from her.
Stewart stopped to pick up the
weapon.
"You might have saved me hi of

animals bore evidence of long, ardu-
Gus travel.
ITO whom do they belong" asked
Madeline.
"Them critters? Why, Danny
Mains" replied Stillwell, with a cough
that betrayed embarrassment.
''Is Danny Mains hereT" she asked,
in sudden curiosity.
The old cattleman nodded gloomily.
yep, he's hyar, all right. Sloped In
from the hills an he hollered to see
Bonita. He's locoed, too, about that
little black eyed hussy. Why, he hard
ly said, 'Howdy, BILL before he began
to ask wild an eager questions. I took
him in to see Bonita. He's been there
mOre'n a half-hour now."
Rapid footsteps with an accompani-
ment of clinking spurs sounded in the
hallway. Then a young man ran out
upon the porch. He was handsome,
frank-faced boy. At sight of Madeline
he slammed down his sombrero and,
leaping at her, he possessed himself Of
her hands. His swift violence not only
alarmed her, but painfully reminded
her of something she wished to forget.
This cowboy bent his head and
kissed her hands and wrung them, and
when he Strengthened up he was cry
ing.
Miss Hammond, she's safe an al
most well, an what feared most amt
so, thank God" he cried. "Sure I'll
never be able to pay you for all you've
done for her. She's told me how she
was dragged down here, how Gene
tried to save her, how you spoke up
for Gene an her, too, how Monty at
the last throwed his guns. Poor
Monty! We were good friends, Monty
an I. There's Nels an Nick an Gene,
he's been some friend to me; but
Monty Price was-he was grand. He
never knew, any more than you OF
Bill, here, or the boys, what Bonita
was to me-"
Stillwelrs kind and heavy hand fell
upon the cowboys shoulder.
Danny, what's all this queer CAB"
he asked. can you're takin' some lib
erty with Miss Hammond, who never
seen you before I see you're not
drinkin'. Come, ease up now an talk
sense"
The cowboys fine, frank face broke
into smile. He dashed the tears
from his eyes. Then he laughed. His
laugh had a pleasant, boyish ring-a
happy ring.
"Bill, old pal, stand bride down
minute, will your Then he bowed to
Madeline. II beg your pardon, Miss
Hammond, for seemin' rudeness. I'm
Danny Mains. An Bonita is my wife.
I'm so crazy glad she's safe an I'M
harmed-so grateful to you that-why,
sure it's a wonder I didn't kiss you
outright"
"Bonita's your wife" calculated
Stillwell.
"Sure. We've been married for
MONTHS" replied Danny, happily.
"Gene Stewart did it. Good old Gene.
I guess maybe I haven't come to pay
him up for all he's done for me! You
see, I've been in love with Bonita for
two years. An Gene-you know, Bill,
what a way Gene has with girls-he
was-well, he was tryin' to get Bonita
to have me-"
Madeline's quick, varying emotions
were swallowed up in boundless
gladness. Something dark, deep, heavy,
and somber was flooded from her
heart. She had a sudden rich sense of
gratitude toward this smiling, clean
faced cowboy whose blue eyes flashed
through tears.

ly and smilingly. ''If you are as glad

Stewart leaped for the saddle Of his
horse, and with the flying mount
crashed through the mesquites to dis
appear.

SCAN NIAGARA ICE FOR MAN.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Feb. ala
woman caused furore here yester-
day when she reported to police
headquarters by telephone from La
Salla that man was floating down
the Niagara river toward the cataract
on cake OF ice and was signaling
for help.
Police authorities were sent along
the American shore and word was
telephoned to the Canadian side,
asking officers there to scan the
river for the imperilled man.
For an hour officers scurried UP
and down the river road, and field
glasses were used in an effort to 10.
cate the distress signal. The alarm
was sent in about $3.50 o'clock and
an hour later the search was aban-
doned.
The woman, the police said, either
was deceived by piece of driftwood
in the current, or, if she did see a
man, he was washed into the river
and drowned. The police were in
clined to think the woman was mis-
taken. No report of a missing man
came from La Sale or nearby places.
Very little ice was moving in the
and the day was compare
lively clear. Boatmen at La Sale
said the woman probably was mis-
taken.

DIPLOMATS NEED NOT GIVE
THEIR LIQUOR STATISTICS
Hughes VIII Advise Against Making
Public the Amount Of Their v
lmportati0ns

Washington, Feb. 2i,--Sccretary
Hughes today sent 10 Secretary Mellon
a response to the latter's inquiry with
respect TO the ACCESSIBILITY of making
public the facts as to the amount OF
liquor brought In by the various en-
bassies and legations in Washington
under treasury permits, approved by
the state department Secretary
Hughes has also written on this sub
ject to Representative Champion of
Michigan. who has been active In de-
handing this information.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Hughes
will advise against making such in
formation public. The secretary takes
the attitude that both under interna-
tional law and under the revised sta
tutes diplomatic representatives en-
joy immunity from the jurisdiction of
the country to which they are accred-
tied, and that they are not subject
to arrest, nor are their goods subject
to search or seizure.
The American revised statutes bear
ing "a thiSpoint arc practically iden-
teal, it Is stated, with the old sta
tutes of Queen Anne which lay down
the rule that ambassadors represent
in person their sovereign, and that
ministers represent their government.
AS an example of the operation of
this law, a case which came up in the
time of Secretary Seward was cited
An attache of an embassy forged the
name of his chief, but under both
law and the revised sta
tutes he could not be prosecuted by
the American authorities. This i'm
extends practically to the
whole household of an embassy or
legation, provided the person in ques-
ton is registered as belonging to the
legation or embassy staff.
Should a diplomatic representative
here become obnoxious to the authori-
ties the only recourse is to have him
recalled, it is stated In ordinary
iractice, however. diplomats, despite
their immunity, are expected to con-
form to ordinary police and sanitary
For example, the men,
bers of the American delegation to
the Pan-American congress at Santa
90 will be acting under this concep-
ton of the law if they comply with
he Chilean regulation requiring vac
,ination.
