While Beatrice Whitford walted in the' little ‘lbrary for the Arlzonan to join her, she sat in a deep chair, chin In hand, eyes fixed on the jetting flames of the gas-log. A little flush had crept into the oval face. In her blood there tingled the stimulus of ex- cltement. For Into her life an adven- ture had come from faraway Cattle- land. - A crisp, strong footstep sounded In the. hall. Her fingers flew to pat into place the soft golden hair colled low at the nape of the neck. At times she had a boylike unconcern of sex; again, a spirit ‘wholly feminine, . The. clothes of her father fitted Lindsay -loosely, for Colin Whitford had begun to take on the flesh of mid- die, age- and: Clay was-lean and clean of.build.as an elk. . But the westerner ‘was-ope;of those; to, whom clathes are unimportant. The, splendid youth of him would have shgne through the rags of a beggar. " “My nanie Is Clay Lindsay,” he told Her by way of ‘Introduction. “Mine is Beatrice Whitford,” she answered.’ . ‘They shook hands. “Pm.to walt here tUl my clothes dry, yore man says.” “Then you'd better sit down,” she suggested. Within five minutes she knew that he had been In New York less than three hours. His impressions of the .eity. amused and entertawned her. He was quite simple. She could look into his mind as though it were a deep, clear well, ‘There was something in- .extinguishably boylsh and buoyant about him. But in his bronzed face and steady, humorous eyes were strength and shrewdness. He was the last man in the world a bunco-steerer eonid play for a sucker. She felt that. .Yet he made no pretenses of a worldly ‘wisdom he did not have. A volce reached them from the top of the stairs. “Do you know where Miss Whitford 1s, Jenkins?” “Hin the Red room, sir.” The an- swer was In the even; colorless voice of a servant. 4 ¢ The girl rose at once. “If you'll ex- cuse me,” she said, and stepped out of the room. “Hello, Bee. What do you think? I never saw such idiots as the police of this town are. They're watching this -house for a desperado who assaulted some one outside. I met a sergeunt on our steps. Says he doesn’t think the man's here, but there's just a chance he slipped into the basement. It's ab- surd.” “Of course it is.” There was a rip- ple of mirth in the girl's voice. “He didn't come in by the basement at all, but walked In at the front door.” “The front door!” exploded her fath- er. “What do you mean? Who let him In?" “1 did. He came as my guest, at my Invitation.” 4 “What?" “Don't shout, dad,” she advised. ‘I thought I had brought you up better.” “But—but—but—what do you mean?”" he sputtered. “Is this ruffian in the house now?” “Oh, yes.' He's in the Red room here —and urnless he's very deaf he hears everything: we are saying"” the girl answered calmly, much amused at the Amazement of her father. “Won't you come In and see htm? He doesn't seem very desperate.” Clay arose, pinpoints of laughter dancing in his eyes. He liked the gay sudacity of this young woman. A moment later he was offering a brown hand to Colin Whitford. “Glad to ‘meet -you, Mr. Whitford. Yore daughter has just saved my life from the - police,” the westerner said, and his!triendly smile was very much in evidence. “You. make yourself at home,” an- .swered the owner of n large per cent of the stock of the famous Bird Cage My guests do, dad. It's proof that I'm 'a 'perfect hostess,” retorted Beatrice, her dainty, provocative face flashing to mirth, “Hmp!” grunted her father dryly. “I'd like to know, young man, why the police are shadowing this house?” “I expect they’re lookin’ for me.”, “I expect they are, and I'm not sure I won't help them find you. You'll have to show cause if I don't.”’ “His bark is much worse than his T """: H‘M “His Bark Is Much Worse Than His Bite,” the Girl Exclaimed to Clay. bite,” the girl explained to Clay, just as though her father were not present. “Hmp!" exploded thé mining ‘mag- nate u second time. ‘/Get busy, young tellow.” X . Cluy told the ‘story of the fifty-five- dollar suit that I. Bernstein had wished on him. with near-tears of re- gret at parting from it. The cow- puncher dramatized the situation with some native talent for mimlery. His arms gestured like the lifted wings of a startled cockerel. “A.man gets a chance at a garment like that only once In a while occaslonally. Which you can take it from me that when L Bernsteln sells a suit of clothes it Is shust like he Is dealing with his own brother, Qvality, my friendts, qvality! Why, I got anyhow a suit which 1 might be married in without shame, un'erstan’ me.” Colin Whitford was of the West him- self. He had lived its rough-and-tumble life for years before he made his lucky strike in the Bird Cage. He had moved from Colorado to- New York only ten years before: ‘The sound of Clay's drawllng voice:was like a mes- sage from home. He began to grin in spite of himself, This man was too good to be true. It ‘WASN't possilile that anybody could come to the big town and import into it so nalvely such a genuine touch of thé outdoor West, It was not possible, but it had happened just the same. Long befa the cow puncher had finished his story of hog-tying the Swede to a hitching post with his own hose¢, the mining man was sealed of the large tribe of Clay Lindsay's admirers. He was ready to hide him from all the police in New York. Whitford told Stevens to bring in the fifty-five-dollar suit so that he could gloat over it. He let out a whoop of delight at sight of its still sodden appearance. He examined its) sickly hue with chuckles of mirth. “Guaranteed not to fade or shrink,” murmured Clay sadly. He managed to get the coat on with difficulty. The sleeves reached just be- low the elbows. “You look llke a lifer from Sing Sing,”. pronounced Whitford joyously. “Get a hair-cut, and you won't have a chance on earth to fool the police.” “Phe color-dld run andfade some,” admitted Clay. “Worth every cent of nine nimety- elght at a ;bargain sale’ before the Swede got basy with it—and he“let you have itsat a sacrifice for fifty-tive dollars!” The millionaire wept: happy tears as a climax.of his rapture. He swallowed his cigar smoke and had to be pounded on the back by his daugh: ter, Jenkins came to the door and an- nounced “Mr. Bromfield.” Almost on his heels a young man in Immaculate riding clothes sauntered into the room. He had the assured ease of one who has the run of the house, Miss Whitford introduced the two young men and Bromfield looked the westernet over with a suave in- solence in his dark, handsome eyes.

Mix, who was raised near the Choctaw Indian reservation, knows all their tricks of the open, and can speak the language like one of them. He is as much at home among the redskins as he is in Los Angeles. “Up and Going” while a picture full of spirited action, is built along lines different from those of the usual Mix picture.

THE AMERICAN DISPLAY CO. DAYTON. OHIO THREE ‘G0OD MEN AND TRUE’ Lawyer’s. Characterization of Town Officials Really a Masterpiece of Summing Up. There dwelt down East a quaint old character, “Lawyer Hopkins,” whose notion of the divine origin and char- ncter of fiStice was certainly modern In its practicality. He occasionally practiced law in a small way and in a manner peculiarly his own. On one occasion a-flock of sheep dis appeared and their heads were found in a flour barrel in' the barn of a cer- tain man, who was thereupon arrest- ed and tried t'b_r sheep stealing. Law- yer Hopkins, in conducting the “de- fense, maintained that the sheep were was common in the spring. The prosecuting attorney sald: “Yes, I know sheep do stray away this time of year, bit they do not usually leave their heads in flour barrels i the haymow.” Hopkins went to a neighboring town to settle the case with the selectmen, but failed and gave this report, char- acterizing the three town officials: “Mr. A will do nothing wrong if he knows it; Mr. B will do nothing at all if he knows it and Mr. C will do noth- phia Ledger. —_— Eyeglasses Took Sudden Flight. The clerk who presides over the In- formation desk in the. office of the col- lector of internal revenue in Detrolt suffered the loss of her eyeglasses in a manner which she believes is unique. She was waiting for a street car when a gust of wind tore her glasses from her nose and whisked them across the crowded street. Inquiring of persong on the other side of the street, she was told that the glasses blew into the hands of a surprised boy standing at the curb.
