Pin something on the window before
you make light"
Buds shuttle came round the table
and he knelt beside her, feeling for
her hands.
"Mammy!' he cried with restrained
passion, "Ill have my pappy's gun
now-Or go with bare hands! You
got to gimme it,!
Nance got to her feet with Fairs
arm about her and pushed the door
shut. Then the mother struck light
| and restored the lamp to the table.
In its yellow flare they peeled the
sleeve from the girls arm and found
shallow wound straight across, about
three inches above the elbow.
For long time Brand Fair looked
at it.
Then he raised somber eyes to her
face.
Eight inches to the right" he said
slowly, "and it would have been your
| heart"
She nodded.
Cattle Kate means business now"
she said, "but-I-don't think she'll
get me-"
"Not If I can get her first" said
Fair, grimly "Now let's have some
hot water strong with salt"
Mrs. Allison set about preparing
| this. while the bitter tears of one
who had seen feud before, dripped
down her weathered cheeks.
The boy Bud stood by the table
opening and closing his hands and
muttering under his quick breath
"Pappy's gun-it's good and true
sighted. Not high-power-but l can
| hide and observation-disclosures"
IF you'd forgive stranger. Mrs.
Allison" put in Fair, Strengthening up
| and looking at the mother, I'D say
| give him his fathers gun. And I'd
say, Bud-don't go to pieces now after
such brave and conservative fight.
| Be defender-not a murderer"
The boy turned his dilated eyes to
him, wetting his dry lips.
| In the long look that passed be-
tween them something seemed to break
down in Bud, the antagonism he had
| felt for Fair seemed to melt away. The
mysterious comradery of honest man.
hood fell upon them both, and the man
| held out his hand.
The boy took it and his eyes became
sane.
We've got a big job cut out for
u.s." said Fair gravely, "and must be
in the right-at every point. Well
dig out the nest of vipers at Sky
Line, but We'll do the job clearly.
Now let's get busy with our first-aid."

Ouvrard, the great French army con-
tractor. was at one time wanted" by
the officers of the tribunal of COM
merce for some offense. According TO
the law he could not be arrested as
long as the sun was not up. AS re-
suit he was in the habit of taking his
constitutional for an hour before sun
rise every morning. judging the time
by the almanac, II. G. Kitchen con-
tributes to the Kansas City Star.
In spite of his care, however, he was
arrested one morning on his saunter
and the authorities proved that the al
manac was wrong, and that as a mat
ter of fact the sun rose ten minutes
earlier than the book stated.
Consequently, Ouvrard brought legal
actions against both the compiler and
publisher of the book. The courts up
held him and the latter were forced to
pay damages.

CHAPTER XIV
.ioht on the sherifrs Shadows.

Light on the Sheriff's Shadows.
From that night forth Fair came
frequently to the homestead on Name
less. 1t was a dull spot now and his
advent was a saving grace. The light
of hope, the joy of labor and accom-
plishment, had in measure departed.
There was little or nothing to do,
less to look forward to. For a little
while Nance kept to the cabin as a
began to pick up the odds and ends
of her pointless work-to mend the
fence which had been cut and to
make ready to harvest the crop. of hay
across the river.
Though l suppose it will be just
that much work thrown away" she
said, "for the stacks will burn some
night like they did before"
'Take a chance" counseled Fair,
| maybe they won't this time"
'You bet We'll take the chance"
said the girl with flare of her old
spirit, we've never laid down yet"
But try as she would, there was a
dullness in her, desire to stop and
rest a bit, and the hatred that was
slowly growing in her stirred anew
each time she raised her eyes to the
distant line of Rainbow cliff gleam-
| ing in the light like fairy stuff.
"If it wasn't for you now, Mr.. Fair"
she said to him, Il think rd-almost
be ready to give up. You give me
| new courage-as Sheriff Selwood did
when he stepped behind me that day
on McKane's porch
mo, you wouldn't. 1t isn't in you
TO give up. Perhaps achievements
| do have their effect-but you'd never
leave the line, Nance"
The girl smiled.
It was the first time he had used
her given name and her heart missed
| beat, while the warm surge went
through her again.
| "No-I know it-but sometimes do
| feel-well, tired"
you've had enough to make you
So" he said, and laid his hand on
hers. At his infrequent touches Nance
always felt a glow of returning
strength, as If once more she could
| work and fight for her own. She
counted it one of her scant blessings
| that Brand Fair had come into her
life at it's darkest hour.
| Sheriff Selwood had a visitor.
The prospector, John Smith, rode
into his ranch yard and sat judging
him with shrewd eyes.
SHERIFF he said, 1--we notion you
and could have pleasant and per-
haps a profitable talk. Will you saddle
| a horse and ride out with me a wayY
Sure" said Price SeIwood readily.
