CHAPTER XII.
A Face at the smudoed Window.

Aunt Liza happened to nave "drapped
a stitch in her knitting and had
stepped to the window the better to see
to "pick it up" when the three riders
came up the Eagle Hollow road. She
looked up carelessly from her tedious
task, but grew instantly attentive with
the first glance.
Come ere, Nick-ain't that Big Jack
an Texie an the new parson?"
well, I'll be dern'd," grunted the
old man, coming to the window and
looking out, his pipe poised between
his fingers-"what d. y'u think o.
that?"

ly positive old woman snorted, "out

rupted, turning away from the window
as the three riders disappeared behind
a bend in the road a little above the
house, "jist b'cayse she happens t. go
out ridin' with i'm, hit amt no sign
she's a-goin' t. take up with i'm"
That's jist your way" Aunt Liza
retOrted, still standing at the window
and fussing with the snarled knitting,
"alw'ys tryin' t. smoother things over
fr everybody. Did you look how e
set lis boss, longside o. Big Jack?-
huh-I wonder the second best boss

wouldn't do t. tie to the minute e lit.
Hain't no sense In a preacher bein'
that good-lookin', nohow-now there's
the business Of it, I-jeeminy."
Aunt Liza's grim lips twisted into an
acid silence. She bent again over the
"drapped stitch; picked it up" at
last and came back to her rocking
chair.
The old man, doubtless glad to rest
after his long tramp in the woods that
morning, sat with his pipe dangling
between his fingers and tapping his
chair, his head bent forward, ponder
ing the ~three-angled dramatic eter-
nal triangle-at that moment being
staged within the narrow valley.

He committed the blunder of cock
ing it with both thumbs-a bit OF over
acting that did not escape the man
backing Graylock in apparent stolid-
ness.
After a deal Of coaching from Texie,
the preacher poked the revolver for
ward and pulled the trigger. There
was nothing TO indicate that the bull
let even came near the target. He
threw his head back and exploded his
raucOus laugh. Rex had stood firm
under the shot he SHE'D at the laugh.
The preacher brought the horse
back alongside Of Brownie n fired
again-the bullet smacked somewhere
against the opposite bluff, but appar-
emily did not eve fan a walnut. He
studied the revolver a moment, fixed
his. spectacles tighter on his nose, and
settled seriously to the task held the
weapon in both hands, and aimed a
long time-result the same.
Then the girl threw up her revolver
and fired again. The bullet cut a nick
In the rotted outer hull Of a walnut,
and she turned to the ~woodsman.
Now. Jack, it's your turn"
Jaw, / couldn't hit one of 'em."
"Come on" she coaxed, II amt seer
y'u shoot none since-let's see-way

He looked at her %curiously, and
shifted In his saddle. The preacher
had half turned and watched him mar
rowfy.
Suddenly the revolver leaped from
the woodsman's side and darted about
over the blighted limb. Three shots
rang out three walnuts few into frag-
ments and crumbIed down upon the
leaves.
The preacher had Strengthened in
the saddle and sat watching the won
derful craftsmanship with an eye that
suddenly kindled to flint and flame;
but as the third walnut shattered to
dust and crumbs, the stoop came back
to his shoulders, the air of tired studi-
BUSINESS to his face.

with a seriousness that set her won

In the dusk Of the evening, as they
rode back to the village, the girl
stopped her horse in front of the old
cabin, deserted and gloomy, that
squatted against the side-hill a few
yards back from the Eagle Hollow
road-the uncanny howell that the

sun in dancing patches upon the gras-

More thar a mile up the hollow the

come into existence naturally a kind
of sarcastic exclamation point that ex-
ploded at untimely and most unex-
pected intervals in his conversation.
AS they passed the spot where the
girl had hared forth from the copse
that morning and he had picked up
Uncle Nick's trail, Jack Warhope, sit
ting his horse as only a man trained to
the saddle can and riding for the most
part in silence, darted a quick look
into the bushes-a look that quite es-
capped the others.
The one girl and the two men-a COM
bination of infinite possibilities-had
reached the point where the road left
the hollow and picked its way through
the broken passes of the bluffs to the
uplands, when the preacher topped
his horse and sat gazing up and across
the narrow valley.
"How picturesquely that cabin mes
ties there in the pocket of the hills"
"A man named Belden, and his sis
ter, lives there" the girl said, following
the direction Of his appraised arm.
They're Kentucky mountain folks that
jist moved in-they say the sisters

The preacher seemed to be studying
the place, with its wild wealth of ma
ture about 1t, his eyes straying at
length from the cabin to its tumbled
setting of cliffs and down along the
opposite bluffs, mantled with half
sprung leaves, abloom with haw and
dogwood and wild apple, until, as he
twisted around in the saddle, the

MEXICO LIKES YANKEE GAMES
People Of ~Neighborlng Republic are

as q consequences.

I had been greatly impressed with
what American sports are doing for
young Mexico. American sports are
common all over the republic now
basketball, baseball, volley ball, hand
ball, tennis and all the typical Ameri-
can sports.
Even the president has a handball
court up at Chapultepec for his eight
e~en-year-old boy to play on. | asked
him If he did not feel that these Ameri-
car sports were going to teach his peo-
pie how to play the game"
In Mexico the minute q man Is de-
feated for office or the minute that a
brother defeats him In debate or wins
q girl from him. that Mexican wants
to kill his opponent or start a revolu-
ton. They have not learned to be
what we Americans call good sports
American games are teaching them
this spirit, says william / Stidger in
the Outlook.
After I had explained what ! meant
he admitted that my implications and
deductions were true and that he had
manifested his confidence In the Z. M.
@. A., which introduced these sports
into Mexico, by giving that American
institution a government gift of $4,000
pesos.
"What are your personal sports?" I
asked him.
Billiards and poker" he said, with
a smile.

warning skill fresh in his mind, n
woodsmAn glanced ~corertly about him
as they rode on-something he had
been constantly doing since first en-
tering the hollow. As he did SO, the
uncanny cabin happened to come
again under his eyes. A sight met
them that for the instant shook even
his iron composure-a face at the win
dow was peering at them through the
clay-smudged pane.
The face ducked out of sight, and,
without so much as q flick of the
bride rein-precisely as If he had seen
nothing at all-the woodsman rode on.
He glanced at the preacher, but ap-
parently he had not seen the face. II

SOME RECORDS IN THlNNESS
Platinum Wire, Fllament of Spiders
Mex and Soap Bubble at
Its Dark Spot.

Platinum wire has been drawn so
fine that 10000 pieces Of it placed side
by side would not cover more than an
inch, while $50 pieces bound together
would be necessary to form a thread
as thick as a flament of raw silk.
A mile of this wire would not weigh
more than a grain, while seven ounces
of 1t would extend from London to
New York.
Fine as is the 6lament produced by
the silkworm that produced by the
spider is ever more attenuated. If, for
instance, a thread of a spiders web
measured four miles, 1t would weigh
little more than a grain.
AS a soap bubble floats in the light
of the sun 1t reflects to the eye an
endless variety OF gorgeous tlnts.
Newton showed that to each OF these
tints corresponds a certain thickness
of the substance forming the bubble;
In fact, he showed that all transparent
substances, when reduced to a certain
degree Of thinness, would reflect these
colors.
Near the highest point OF the bub-
Bile. lust before 1t bursts, can be seen
a spot which rejects no color and ap-
pears black. According to Newton, the
thickness Of the bubble at this black
point Ia the $500. 0OOth part OF an
inch.
