But how utterly exasperating it was Just when she was satisfied that they lhad blnudered into a safe hideout, she discovered that they had really walked into the lions den.
 "The think to do, of course, is to keep them from seeing you" she said. "You'll have to stay in the kitchen all the time, Pm afraid. l don't suppose they'll come in here."
 "They're not going to coop me up in kitchen" he growled. Besides, it was dark last night anyhow. They didn't get a good look at me. had my cap pulled down."
 Charley came into the kitchen again.
 we got that baggage in, thanks to nobody that washes dishes," he said. And now, ma'am, I'll have to ask you to hustle dinner. They're real hungry"
 They'll have dinner just as soon as I can get it." said Sally, promptly.
 The Wreck regarded her with a look of amazed disappointment. Was she going to turn to and cook for a hog? It was enough to be drafted as cook for an unknown, but to do chores for your enemy was humilia- tion. He was about to speak when she stopped him with look.
 Seems they didn't get any regular breakfast, except crackers, which they had with 'em." explained Char ley. That leaves 'em kind of hungry. They got hung up on the road. In fact, they got held up."
 You don't mean it." exclaimed Sally, who was digging into the flour barrel, as first step in the direction of making biscuits.
 "Oh, it don't seem like it was seri- ous, ma'am. That is, there wasn't got shot. Teller just took watches and valuables and left 'em flat without any gas"
 Sally ventured look at the Wreck. He seemed to be curiously elated.
 "It's been done before," said Char ley, who was slightly bored. Ut ain't anything to what they used to do. Only the boss is pretty we'll stirred up, which maybe is natural enough. He comes from the east, where they don't know anything about such things"
 The Wreck was standing near a window. polishing his spectacles. It was Sally's first conscious glimpse of him without the horn rims He gave her a swift impression of being an- other person. But there was no time to study him; Charley was too inter- esting.
 "Who is the boss?" she asked, try | ing to be indifferent.
 His name is Underwood" said | Charley Hes from New York. It's | funny the way those New Workers | buy themselves places that take such | } pile of travelin' to get to. And he | font come here oftener than once a year. This time he drove all the | way. It don't sound reasonable, but | he did. He's got his boy and girl | with him. l expect he'll stay a few weeks"

 You being single, all girls are beautiful to you. I'd like to see you married to someone like Mrs. Atherton here. She'd soon make you understand that the war between the sexes is not myth. It's still on, and a man has to fight for every bit of in- dependence he will have and every bit of respect that he will get from his wife, her friends or her relatives.
