A rainy day found her in her studio busily engaged in the interesting task of tryiug to mate the hero and 3 heroine of her lat- est short story: but the situations were dull and lacked the snap that made her stories ready sell- ers; and seeming- ly unable to concentrate her mind on her work, she threw aside her pen- | ¢il and petulantly, for Peggy, ex- claimed: “How can 1 write love stories when my own is such a puz- zle!" and her brown eyes filled with tears. Throwing herself in a big easy chair, she sank into a deep reverie and called two men before her mind's eye. First, there was Craig Bennett, ak most old enough to be her father, but & man of the world, cultured, well poised, who knew 8o well how to pay those flattering little attentions so dear to the womanly heart, and whose brilliant conversation made him a welcome dinner guest at the dinner tables of many lands—a man of parts and money. And then there was blue- eyed Jean Graham, with the good red blood of health and youth staining his browned cheeks and brightening his eye, not prone to ready speech, rough in his manner at times, perhaps, Judging by the standards of her little world, but honest and true. Only a mechanic, but with a wealth of love and ambition in his heart, a world of romance in his young brain, and ten- derness in his toil-hardener hands— and yet— Which would it be? The door was flung noisily open and her studio mate, Helen Curtis, entered; but the quiet figure in the blg chair by the window never stirred. “Peg, dear, wake up. We've only time for a cup of tea and a bite of lunch. Such luck! I've got two tick- ets for the matince to see ‘Peg o' My Heart,’” and a vigorous shake brought the dreamer back to earth. All the afternoon they laughed and cried at the will of the winsome little star, whose delightful Irish brogue only gave her lines added piquancy. Peggy Bronson seemed to drink in her words, and as the play progressed her eyes grew tender and her face alight with a new happiness. When the last line had been spoken and the curly-headed star refused to respond to just one more curtain call, it was a happy-faced audience that filed from the theater. Peggy Brone son was beaming “Helen, do you know 1 agree with the other Peg—there’'s nothing so sweet as love's young dream.” With a roguish glance at the happy girl beside her, Helen Curtis laughed and chanted: “Change the name and not the letter, Change for worse and not for better.” And Peggy blushed A ray of the setting sun, breaking through the rain-soaked clouds, fell as a benediction on Peggy's dark hair as she spied a workman passing by and joyously called, “Jean, oh Jean” and as his blue eyes met hers in glad surprise she murmured softly, “Jean, I've just awakened to the glory of love's young dream.’ Local Anesthesia. a patient locally Insensible to the pain | of an operation by applying an elec- tric current to the part of the body to be operated upon.

Pete’ mournfully, “and there’s only one burro on the hog back.” “We came back as fast as we could,” said Maitland. “I pushed on ahead, George, Bradshaw and Phillips are bringing Bob and the girls. We must search the canon.” “It can't be done tonight, old man,” said Kirkby. “I tell you we can't wait, Jack!” “We've got to, I'm as willin' to lay down my life for that young gal as anybody on earth, but in this yere mist an’ as black a night as it's goin’ to be, we couldn't go ten rod without killin' ourselves an’ we couldn’t see nothin' noways.” “But she may be in the canon.” “If she's in the canon 'twon’t make no difference to her w'ether we finds her tomorrer or next day or mext year, Bob.” Maitland groaned in anguish. “T can't stay here inactive,” he per- sisted stubbornly. “It's a hard thing, but we got to wait till mornin’. Ef she got out of the canon and climbed up on the hog back she'll be all right, she'll soon find out she can’t make no progress in this mist and darkness. No, old friend, we're up agin it hard. We jest 8ot to stay the night w'ere we are an’ as long as we got to wait we might as well make ourselves as comfortable as possible. For the wimmen an’ children, anyway. 1 fetched up some ham and some canned goods and oth- er eatin's in these yere canvas sacks. We might kindle a fire—" “It's hardly possible,” sald Mait- land. “We shall have to eat it cold.” “Oh, Robert,” pleaded his wife, “isn't it possible that she may have escaped?” “Possible, yes, but—-" “We won't give up hope, ma'am,” said Kirkby, “until tomorrer w'en Wwe 've had a look at the canon.” By this time the others joined the party. Phillips and Bradshaw showed the stuff that was in them. They im- mediately volunteered to go down the canon at once, knowing little or noth- ing of its dangers and indifferent to | what they did know, but as Kirkby had pointed out, the attempt was clearly impossible. Maitland bitterly reproached himself for having allow- ed the girl to go alone, and in those self-reproaches old Kirkby joined. They were too wet and cold to sleep. There was no shelter and it was not until early in the morning they succeeded in kindling a fire. Meanwhile the men talked the situa- tlon over very carefully. They were two days' journey from the wagons. It was necessary that the women and children should be taken back at once. Kirkby hadn’t been able to save much more than enough to eat to get them back to a ranch or settlement, and on very short rations at best. It was finally decided that George and Pete and Mrs. Maitland, the two girls and the youngster, should go back to the wagon, drive to the nearest settle- ment, leave the women and then re- turn on horseback with all speed to meet Maitland and Kirkby, who would meanwhile search the canon. The two men from the east had to go back with the others, although they pleaded gallantly to be allowed to remain with the two who were to take up the hunt for Enid. Maitland might have kept them with him, but | that meant retaining a larger portion of the scanty supplies that had been saved and L was compelled against bis wiil to refuse their requests. Leav ing barely enough to subsist Maitland and Kirkby for three or four days, or until the return of the relief party, the groups separated at daybreak. “Oh, Robert” pleaded his wife, as he kissed her good bye, “take care of yourself, but find Enid.” “Yes,” answered her husband, “I shall, never fear, but I must find the dear girl or discover what has become of her.” There was not time for further eave taking. A few handclasps from man Yo man and then Robert Ma® land, standing in the midst of the group, bowed his head in the sunny morning, for the sky again was clear, and poured out a brief prayer that God would prosper them, that they would find the child and that they would all be together again in health and happiness. And without another word. he and Kirkby plunged down to the side of the canon, the others tak- ing up their weary march homeward with sad hearts and in great dismay. (To Be Continued.)
