By CARY DELONE. “Don’t move, or I shall shoot!” The clear girlish voice rang out with un- mistakable emphasis. “How careless that would be,” re- plied the man in a tone of gentle {rony. He paused in his efforts to get him- self and a pair of saddle-bags over the rude fence, and turned calmly in the direction of the voice. A black- halred, black-eyed girl of about twen- ty stood at the edge of the clearing, not .two rods away. She had on & serviceable brown suit and leggings, her cloth cap was slightly askew— and she was pointing straight at him a light but businesslike rifle. Her cheeks were aflame with excitem-eat, and the man could see her bosom ris- ing and falling rapidly. “Bxcuse me for referring to it,” he saild quietly, standing motionless by the fence, “but it you keep up that careless, unsociable way of pointing guns at people, some day there’ll be an accident.” “If you resist, or try to draw your gun, I'll shoot you sure as fate,” ex- claimed the girl, “and I can shoot straight; too. Put up your hands!” “Before you get utterly foolish, and do anything you may be sorry for,” said the man, disregarding the order, and still leaning easily against the fence, “stop and think whether you hadn’t better tell me what is on your mind, and why you threaten to mur- der an unarmed stranger.” “As it you didn't know, and you standing there with the saddle-bags themselves—my own saddle-bags, and the money probably still in them.” “Oh, as for these saddle-bags, well, perhaps there {3 more method in your madness than there seemed to be at first. Do these belong to you?” “Of course they do; and you are the robber who stole them from our sta- ble last night; and there is my silver monogram on them; and what have you done with my horse? And oh, you robber and murderer, I ought to shoot you anyway. But if you will keep your hands up and walk ahead of me, I will take you back to Clin- ton and give you up. [ don't kmow but they will hang you as soon as you get there. They ought to.” “My dear young lady,” sald the man, with unruffled calm, to the pant- ing girl, whose eyes blazed anew at this address, “I can see that there is some reason back of your mistake. But you are making a complete blund- er. I am no robber. And these sad- dle-bags I found—" “No doubt!” said the girl, with raging sarcasm; “found them growing on a huckleberry bush probably. And you didn’t shoot at the cashier of the Clinton bank; and you didn't steal my horse and saddle last night to es- cape with; and there aren't & hun- dred men with guns looking for you this minute. Now, I tell you what, 1 mean business! Will you surrender, or shall I shoot?” “Well, on reflection, I think I'll sur- render.” “Put up your hands then. I shall make you walk ahead of me and car- ry those bags.” “How can I carry them with my | hands above my head?" “Well, you know what 1 mean, Yor must—Oh, aren’t you a hirrid villain! You smile as if it was all a joke. Take up those bags at once and go ahgad; and remember, my rifle will be pointed at you al' iue time. And I shall be close behind you.” She started toward him. But she | had not fully counted on the difficulty | of keeping a steady aim and at the same time walking over the very rough ground. Her foot caught in a root, and she fell flat, the rifle going off as it struck. In three leaps the man was at her side, one hand grasp- | ing her weapon, and one held out w0 | assist her. She sprang to her feet; | aud her brave, bewitching little face | went deathly white, “Now, fortunately, you will be com- ! pelled to listen to me,” said the man in the same quiet, commanding tone that he had used throughout. “See, my mistaken young friend. 1 have your rifle. You are powerless now. Pray, keep your self-control, and just | listen reasonably to what I have to | say. I wouldn't harm you for the world. And I am no more a bank rob- ber than you are.” The girl stood white and motion less, her lips trying not to trembie. “I am a lumber surveyor, a stranger in this part of Michigan. 1 walked over from Port Coleman this morning. More than an hour ago, down the road, I met a riderless horse, a white horse, with one dark stocking. I tried to catch him, but ! he was shy. These bags I found while I was prospecting through the woods; they lay near the body of a | man in that clump of bushes over | there. You can go over and look at | the body, if you don't believe me, 1 | guess he is your robber al! right; and {1 judge he didn't pet away \vi‘h(v:.li | carrying some lead !r I looked | {in the bass and they were stuffed with bankbil and ll: ssed | pretty near what had happencd. | | was tr to find my way to the | nearest town when you so suddenly | bailed me.” : | The reaction was too much for the | girl, who was, after all, little more than a child. She swayed unstead- | ily. The man caught her by the arms, fHM EVENING THLEGRAM, LAk ELAND, FLA, MAY 6, 1%13. vpusied her to a big log and she sat down. 4 “| guess I probably made a mis- take,” came at length, in rather & faint voice. “You don't talk much like a robber. And you don't look wuch like one,” glancing up inte the clean-cut, maniy face. “I ask yop to excuse me. 1 was dreadfully excited. Father taught me to shoot; and [ love to go around in the woods. But | had no idea of meeting the robber. They all thought he would strike to- ward the Canada line. When I saw those saddle-bags, 1 was dead sure you must be the robber.” “You couldn’t very well think any- ({hing else. But my name is John Carleton, and [ am in the employ of the Western and Nerthern. When you are sufficiently rested, we will go to Clinton together, and I will intro- duce myself properly to your father. I am expecting to spend most of this season in the vicinity of Clinton. s s Three months later, in the dusk of a beautiful, balmy evening, John Carleton and Vivien Laroche were talking together. He had seen much of her during these happy summer weeks, and was an honored guest at her father's house whenever he called. “Miss Laroche, I often think of our first meeting, and what a brave, piquant little figure it was that or- dered me to put up my hands.” “Let's leave that to rest in the past.” The girl's flush was partly concealed by the gathering twilight. “At any rate, my horse, and the bank’s money both came back, and nobody was hurt but the poor robber. You must have thought me a blood- thirsty child.” “Not 8o horribly bloodthirsty. 1 noticed how you trembled; and I no- ticed later how you shrank from the spot of blood on the saddle-bag. Not very bloodthirsty, but just plucky— and bewitching! As for the child part of it, why, I am only six years older than you. Do you know, dear child, dear girl, dear woman, my thoughts have been very full of you the past few weeks. I did not know then that jt was Fate that called on me to surrender; but it was not long afterward that it began to dawn on | we; and I know it now. Dearest, come to me for life." His arms was around her now; and withent a sinole word the girl nestled close up to him in the eventide. Then s hand found hers, and her head resled on his shouider. Vivien, my wildwood sweetheart, with the de-r romantic name and the true heart, life opens up a new vista of happiness for us both.” His lips met hers; he felt the soft pressure sweetly returning his ardor. “Darling,” he whispered at last, “on that blessed day you did not, indeed, capture a bank robber, but you cap- tured a willing servant and lover for the rest of your life.” (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News- paper Syndicate.) WAS T0O0 SLOW TO CATCH UP Bashful Swain Is Given a Hand Read- Ing by Fair One, But It Fails. Y Reginald Vanderbiit said at a pre- Easter wedding in New York: “How interesting it would be if we could know how all these pretty wed- dings came about! Often, no doubt, the girls themselves brought them about—uniess, indeed, the man was too fnordinately dense, like Travers. “Travers met a pretty girl last win- ter in Bermuda. He danced with her at the Hamilton and Princess, he wheeled with her to Tom Moore's house for strawberries and cream, and he bathed with her in the pretty blue poo! with its lining of azure tiles. “But he didn't propose. Was he too bashful? The girl, at any rate, one afternoon in a tea garden, offered to read his future, and, halding his big brown hand in her slim white one, she murumured, as her finger moved delicately across his palm: *““This line indicates that before you lles—happiness.’ “She paused, with downcast eyes. But nothing followed. The young man eat beside her, grinning sheepishly. Her lip curled in disdain, and she add- ed, in a clear, cold voice: “‘But this other line indicates that you'll never overtake that future. You're too slow.’” Flying Bullet Shown by Fiim. Prof. Cranz has lately submitted to the German Physical society a ma- chine which allows the taking of ple- tures at the rate of 100,000 a second. This enormous limit is higher than anything which has been previously done. Machines are on the market which allow pictures taken at the rate of 5,000 a second. Prof. Cranz goes so far as to say that this limit is not fixed, but that the number can still be greatly increased if it is found necessary. Bodies moving with marvelous speed can be photographed in flight. For instance, the pistol shot can be caught and followed as far as the cam. era lens can reach. Infinite possibili. ties seem to be opening up along the moving picture line if this high epeed photography can be practically carried out i o Trapped. “Tommy. did jou dreaX this win. dow-pane?” “Father, I can ot tell a le.” “Come, now.
