Then her inborn fearlessness, ‘coupled with an impa- tient contempt for the ill-judgment that would hope to find money on her, | broke forth in one crisp adjuration. “Oh, don’t be an idjit!” she said. The raised club wavered impercept!- bly as its muffied owner - strove to shape his mind tosthis unexpected re- ception of his threat. Had this soll- tary female some unseen guard in her wake? He glanced suspiciously along the dark road. “I said, yer money er yer life,” he repeated, somewhat uncertainly. “Well, you kin go on sayin’ all night if it amuses you. Lemme past!™ The masked flgure gave one final look into the dark. “Aw, stow that!” he growled. “None 0’ yer sass, old lady! You're jest the kind wot carries a wad in their stock- in’. Cough up now! 1 ain’t had a square meal fn three days.” gy | The woman clutched tightly & small plush bag which she carried. “I ain’t got no wad,” she retorted decisively, “but I got a nice littie dineymite bomb in this here bag that'll blow you where you won't want meals for some time. Yon'll be too much oc- upled kepin’ cool.” As she raised the bag threateningly the man drew back, The arm the club fell to his side. ) “Ga on—1 won’t touch you,” he grumbled sulkily. “You ain't got. no dineymite, but darned if I @on't ad- B | mire yer pluck. You mind me of—" He watched her as she stalked oft into the dark, strange half-forgotten memories stirring within him. Sud- denly a grin widened his mouth. * “By Jingoes! She's comin’ back! ‘What's eatin’ her?” 3 The woman approached with decis- fon. “You got me mervous now,” she ad- mitted grudgingly, “though 1 ain’t afrald of you, somehow. But if you're dyin’ to make use of that there stick of yours you can come along to -pro- tect me. There’s a bad place up the i road a bit” X [{ “Sure!” His heart warmed unac- "oont:bly at this ewidence of femin- inity in the valiant female. It was a long time since he had been called on for protection, or help in eny form. Unconsciously he squared his shoul- ders, threw back his head, as he stepped briskly out beside her. “I'll give you a good square meal when we git home,” she promised him. Hungry as he honestly was, the of- fer, with its hint of reward, in some subtle way offended him, v |, “You needn't mind. I kind git | along,” he apswered loftily. She glanced at him curlously. “How long have you been doing this?” “What?” “Why, this here highway robbery business.” ‘ “That's tellin’,” he grinned., “1 'magine you're new at it,” she persisted. “Why?” indignantly. “Oh, you're sort of kind an’ nice. You ain’t no hardened criminal,” she vouchsafed, the wile- of the eternal feminine unconquerable even in this uncertain situation. - The man felt an added warmth per- meate his entire being. A sudden de- sire to stand well with this fearless, yet distinc appealing individual surged up within him. Suddenly she started. “Ssh! What's that?” i They had reached the “bad part,” a place where the road wound through a dense growth of forest, thick with un- derbrush and dark with an appalling ‘darkness. Again came the crackling, as of a heavy body pushing through the brush. She clutched his arm nerv- ously. “Don’t be skeered,” he reassured her. “It's nothin’ but some animile prowlin’” He put his hand protect- ingly over hers. It felt appealingly small in his powerful grasp. A rush of memories swept over renders fng him suddenly solicitous for the woman at his side. “What ave you doin’ of, anyway, alone in the pitch dark on & road like this?" he queried. “I haven't met nothin’ worse than you, so far." | He coughed, suddenly shashed. “That's so0.” “An’ I wish you'd take off that crasy | mask. It makes me feel like a 'com- | plice, walkin' along with {t!” She drew away indignantly. Sur®” He tore off the strip of “Haw-haw!” He laughed enjoying- . *“By Cricky! but you mind me of —~Bay, of course it's fifteen year now an’ I e'pose she aln't here ng to speak the name and a burning de. sire to know—" of Lindy Rastall—qg was?” ) The woman started {mperceptibly. “Seems to me I've heard of her” she admitted. “What about her?” “Oh, nothin’. Thought mebbe yogu '{ knew ber” There was silence for 8 space. Preg. ] ently the man looked around him with a start. *“Bay, for?” “Because I live here,” she answer- ed tersely. She closed the gate be- hind ber and started up the “path by his side. “Well, well! what're you turnin’ in here Bought the old place. “g’pose | her old uncle Jabe’s dead, then.” I “Yes, he's dead.” She fitted the key in the lock and pushed open the door. “Come through to the kitchen,” she said. “I ain't had my own supper yet You can have a bite with me.” Sbe led the way back, groped about for the lamp, lit it and set it on a small shelf over the table. The man looked about him eagerly. “Fifteen year,” he murmured, “an’ jest the same. Well, well! He turn- ed to the woman, who had thrown off her scarf and cloak and stood silently regarding him. “Lindy!” he gasped. “Yes, Sam Martin, it's Lindy! I knowed you the minute you spoke my name. Now will you just kindly tell me why you run off like that, sudden, without a word, when me an’ you had spoke our promise, an’ never turned up from that day to this?” Her face was white with the rush of memories that overpowered her. The man straightened up and faced her. “Yes, I'll tell you, Lindy,” he said, “an’ T can't see as the fault was mine. You ’'member the day we quarreled over that painter fellow, as I thought was foolin’ around you toe. much an’ you went off mad. Well, 1 come OVer | g that evenin’ to beg your pardon for |i doubtin’ of you,”an’ jest as I got to the end of the path that leads into thé orchard, 1 seed you—with him, under that same tree Where I'd ast you, an’ got your promise. An’ while I stood there he put his arms round you an'—kissed you.” “It’s a lle!” “ain’t no lle. I seen him! He put his arm around you an’ bent over an’ —an’ then I jest couldn’t bear to see it an’ I turmed an’ walked out of the place an’ ain’t never been back there |& since, not till now.” “Yes, Sam Martin, an’ if you'd had any sense in your stupid head you'd of come right on an’ knocked him down s'tead of marchin’ off an’ leavin’ me to do it! My hands is maybe little but 1 gave him one knock that night that—" “Lindy!” “I was just tellin’ him,” she went on {ndignantly, “how he'd have to go, ‘cause you said I must choose an’ of course I'd choose you, an—an’ then he tried to—Oh, Sam,” she half sobbed from his arms, “why didn’t you never come back?” He was silent for a moment. “I've come now, Lindy,” he offered at last, uncertainly. “Yes, you've come now—an’ how?” she flashed, drawing indignantly away from him as the memory of his ear- Her performance swept over her. “Thievin’, an’ scarin’ women in the dark an’—" “Lindy, will you listen to me? This {s the truth, Lindy, it's the first time I ever made to hold up anyone.: But things has been goin' hard with me fer a long time now, an’ I was jest about desperate. People is so blasted indifferent when a man asks fer hon- est work, an’ the women is worse than the men. Tonight I was jest plumb mad. I says to myself, ‘By Gum! I'll make someone cough up somethin’, if 1 have to stand here till the crack o' doom!’' Lindy,” he broke off sudden- ly, a boyish anxiety in his volee, “what made you so sassy? Didn't I look like a real one?” . Lindy smothered a laugh. “Oh Sam," she sald, “you’re jest the same old—" “The club was only to scare ‘em.” he interrupted, abandoning the point in his eagerness to explain, “an’ hom- est, Lindy, 1 wouldn’t of taken more'n a dollar from you, not if you'd handed out two himdred of ‘em.” Truth rang unmistakably in his words. He paused and waited for her Judgment. Presently a small, firm hand clasped his. “All right, Sam,” she sald. “Lindy—dear!” He took her hands in his and his voloe grew strong with rpose. “I have nothin’ to offer you, !
