A UTUMN splendor was ablaze In

by two footmen in morning livery.
The men worked rapidly. as the
cries Of beaters and the popping, of
twelve.bores heralded the approach
of the sportsmen for whom the al
fresco feast was laid. The finishing
touches had Just been putAtossthe
snowy napery and sparkling crystal
when three ladies %sauntered into the
glade from a bridle'path.
THANK goodness" wheezed the
elder of the trio, "a stout woman
with purple complexion and an
auburn wig. There is a table to
eat off and chairs to sit on. Knives
and forks, too, and quite an array. OF
glasses. I was afraid we were ex'
pected to squat, on the ground and

"Oh, my dear Lady Marrables,
that's a bit rough on Sir Dudley

handsome woman of thirty. "You

be sure that he wouldn't treat US like
that. Besides, as our hostess you

'Hostess?" shifted the plethoric
dowager. II am no hostess, only
chaperon to this naughty child,
who's better able to take care Of me
than I am Of her. It's a well-paid

The tall girl, to whom the appeal

Boy, IA, Drives First
Overland 6 on Tour

Crossing through seas of mud
that mired cars of more cylinders
and greater horsepower in hub-deep
gumbo, Mrs E. K. Allen, of Los
Angeles, Calf, and her 14-year-old
son, Gordon, hold the distinction of
being the first transcontinental mo-
florists to drive an Overland 6 from
Toledo to the Pacific coast.
A remarkable tribute to the me-
chanical quality of this new model,
it's stamina and ease of handling is
the fact that the bulk of the driv-
ing and mechanical attention for
more than 5000 miles was done by
the youngster.
Heavy spring rains pelted down
constantly while the car passed
through hio, Missouri and Colorado,
and Mrs. Allen reports that any
number of cars had to be pulled
out Of the mud, not once, but four
or five times. At one place in Mis-
souri, they were one of parade of
fourteen cars held up for five and
half hours because truck was
stuck in a sea of mud.
"After leaving La Junta," writes
Mrs. Allen of her experiences, "we
came upon thirty-five miles of
freshly graded road which had been
converted into a veritable bog after
a thunder and lightning storm. Our
car was overtaken by a group of
garage men in a specially-gea
car who were going out to tow in a
car. These men followed the Over
land for miles, expecting US to
get stuck, but we were able to dis
appoint them and win their un-
stinted admiration
Mrs. Allen kept a faithful and ac-
curate record of her expenses and
found that the trip cost her but $97

Boys, we'll get our loot yet"
Just then Frank groaned and sat
up, feeling gingerly of his throat.
A man pushed his way through the
throng. 1t was George Young.
When Campbell saw him, he
started to reach for his gun and
swore in an exceedingly panied
manner.
"Now, now, Frank, quiet down;
we've got you dead to rights, :"
warned the sheriff, for it was he
who had led the man hunters. The
cowboy got to his feet and handed
his gun to the sheriff.

"How did it happen?" inquired
the sheriff curiously. "I'm not

The men turned and went back
to the house to clear up the mys-

George Young lifted trap in the
floor and disclosed the missing

'Here you are, Tom; I guess the

'Why, er-yes, I would, if it's all
the same to you," said Frank Camp
bell. He did not meet the look that
was directed at him, but kept his
eyes lowered. After a little time
spent in talk concerning the wealth
er and the likelihood of rain, the
two separated, Campbell to his bed
under the stars, Young to his mar
row bunk in the cabin.
Silence brooded over the place !;
then the howl of coyote sounded,
and was followed by another across
the ridge of stone and low hills.
Inside the shack Young slept, but
his self-elected guest, not wanting
sleep, grew more wakeful as the
night wore on.
He fancied that he could hear
whispered commands and the click
of horses hoofs on the rocks. At
last he got up and pulled on his
boots and sauntered out till he over
looked the winding trail. Although
he listened, the profound silence OF

CAMPBELL went down in the little
pasture and after some work and
no little profanity he caught "Sor-
ry," his horse, who resented the
unceremonious manner in which he
was hustled out and led away.
Walking quietly, the cowboy led
Sorry to the saddle and with a
few deft jerks and touches the
heavy saddle was in place.
AS he pulled the latigo tight and
buckled it, Campbell reached for
the little canvas sack. With an
oath he Strengthened up. The sack
was gone!
Campbell knew that Young must
have taken it, but when? he asked
himself. "He might have gotten it
while 1 was down after Sorry" he
reflected. But how to recover it
was a problem, and recover it he
must. If the thief had opened it,
then all was lost. One look at the
contents and there would be no
hope of a clean getaway. Camp
bell started for the house but stiff
ened with a jerk. He had plainly
heard a horse nicker out on the

A careful if hurried search of the
house did not reveal the sought-for

The irate cowboy rushed out of

ing danger. One good thing, the
horse was still there. He tied some
bacon that he had purloined to the
saddle and, jumping on, wheeled
and rode across the sandy clear
space in front of the shack.
