BY DONALD ALLEN. They said of Mildred Drew that she was a trivolous girl, and now that she was as good as engaged to D!epben Hazleton, they continued to say the same old thing. They did add, however, that Stephen, being three years older and being a con- servative young man, would steady her down. It's nothing against a girl that she s trivolous. It simply means that she refuses to worry about the things that her mother does; that she doesn't want to tie herself up too soon; that she is falling in love with a new chap every week or two to study the male sex; that she is ro- mantic by nature, and refuses to take the world as seriously as others. Whether folks liked it or not, Mise Mildred went right on being frivo- lous. She thought a great deal of Stephen Hazleton, but when he start- ed out to lecture her on frivolity she always tozsed her head and replied that there were plenty of other good men in the world, and that at exactly ten o'clock the next forenoon she would be found walking the top of the back yard fence. ’AN OUTLAW'S BRIDE - The evening before Miss Mildred went down to the country to visit her aunt, Mr. Hazleton spoke of hav- ing their engagcment announced in the papers. “Why, when were we engaged?” she asked. “Months ago.” “I never heard of it!" “But 1 have asked you to be my wife.” “And I have answered that T didn't know whether I would be or not. No, sir, there is no engagement. 1 may see some one down in the country that I like better.” Stephen took things very mildly and refused to contest the point that evening, or to be perturbed for the succeeding three days. Then hap- pened what always happens with a conservative young man who has gone along thinking he had a sure thing of it and laughing at would-be rivals. The green-eyed monster clutched him by the throat and he “I Am Looking for Some One.” found himself the most wretched man in the state. He did not known until that hour how much he loved the girl. She had denied the engagement that he had looked upon as a settled thing. She was frivolous, hut she had spells of being very much in earnest. Stephen had asked for a daily 1ot ter. He didn’t get if. Instead he got one at the end of the weck, and its contents did not satisfy his yearnings at all. | “Arrived,” read the epictle. “Aunt | glad to ceo me. Dear old soul! Cow calves, sheep and piga. Also wind- | mill Also strawberry shorteakes Have got two freckles on my nose, | and there is an actor hoarding at the | next farmhouse. T can hit a froe with a stone every time, and hope you are well” That actor! Who was he? What| business had he there? Would he | have the cheek to scrape an xr} quaintanceship with Mildred and flat- | ter her that it was her mission to re- | form the stage? He had never heard Mildred sav that she wonld like to hecome a g actress and gzive Sarah tips, but throw her into the of an aector for two weeks and wonld it he? And ther piano men, sewing machine peddle ever, | makings of an outlaw in him to give | you | lodgings T went for a after that 1 o home. I'd enough.” and farmers “held up ! 'l f and con- | y active, but had ! wthing because they ad not looked in the right direction. The editor of the Kalem Weekly said they hadu't, and edltors are always right about these things. “Look for some one that no one wouM suspect,” was his advice. A constable was at the depot when Mr. Hazleton stepped off the train, he being the only passenger to alight. After a look around he leamed up against the depot building. “Ha!" whispered the constable. Here was a man that no one would suspect. He was a stranger, and he had an honest look. Ae- cording to the editor, he should be the outlaw. He didn't seem per- turbed at sight of the officer's nickel-plated star, but was & oase of cheek. Indeed, he advanced with a laugh to say: “I am looking for some one, and yet don't know the name.” “That's rather funny.” replied the officer as he felt to see if his hand- cuffs were in the usual hind pocket. “I admit it smiled Stephen. “A young lady of my acquaintance in the city came down here a few days ago to visit her aunt.” “And who {is her aunt?” “That's the very thing I want to find out.” “Humph! How are you going to find out about anybody if you can't tell her name?” “That's what occurred to me just as I stepped off the train. T think the voung lady referred to her rela- tive as Aunt Eliza." “Well, T don't know Elizas nor Uncle Peters.” “No? 1 think she must live out- side the village, as she has cows and plgs. Perhaps my best way will be to take a highway and follow it for two or three miles.” any Aunt “Unless you think it better to go back to town by the next train!” was the suggestive reply. Mr. Hazleton had come down to rescue Miss Drew, and he took up his grip and started off. The constable had found the right man at last, and he was soon in communication with the sheriff, Mr. Hazleton hadn't reached the first farmhouse outside the village when he found a posse of six mnn[ calling upon him to halt and give an account of himself. He could have convinced that gang in ten minutes that he was a respected member of humanity, but what did he do but take to his heels and seek the fields. He was commanded to halt, but his wings grew faster at the command. There were some good runners among l''s pursuers, but they couldn't overhaul Stephen. The best they could do was to kee him in sight most of the time an to waste many bullets firing at him. Mr. IMazleton skipped over fences, jumped ditches and flew across vales. Why, he didn't stop to ask himself. Every man of the posse knew why the chase continned, how- They were after the Bad Man of Kalem, and they meant to get him dead of alive. Even a stern chase and a long ehase { cannot continue indefinitely. | There eame a time when Stephen | flazleton stazecred out of a bit of | woods and made for a barn about ten rods behind a farm house. The bip ! doors were wide open, and as he| wabbled in he bumped against a girl ! coming out with a dozen or more eggd | in her apron, “Stephen!” “Mildred?™ “What ia it?” “They they want to arrest me!” | “Oh, goodie, goodie! How nice!| How romantic! Stevie, TN fight to the death for yeu and then marry | you afterward!” And Aunt Fliza is a witness to the fact that the posse didn't get Stephen until they first got the eggs, and that when they did get him they apolo glzed handsomely for the mistake. The actor? Oh, he had come and gone. He found the country too rich for his blood. Miss Mildred's promise? She kept it. All she had been waiting for was for Stephen to show that he had the a romantic turn to events, : (Copyright, 1912, bv Accociated Literary P'ress.) No Place for Him.
