EGBERT. “Mr. Hanson, I—J— brought you some grapes.” The shy girl from the valley depos- ited the cluster upon the little rudely- made table in Hanson's shack and stood looking at him wistfully, the blushes deepening upon her cheeks. Hanson looked past her, down at the valley far beneath him, into which the evening mists were already rolling from the sea. It was a wonderful scene, that valley, filled with rich vineyards and fruit orchards, where men toiled and reaped the wealth of the fertile earth, while here, on these “Mr. Hanson, I guess you must be awful lonesome up here, with only poor Mr. Davis for company,” sald Myra sadly, “That was why—" “Why you took pity on a poor con- The girl nodded.

Hanson hurried away upon his mis- sion. Davis' shack was only a short distance, but the way to it was a stiff climb among the crags and loose boulders which strewed the slope, and in that fog it would take the better part of an hour to go there and return. Hanson did not spare himself. The fog was still dense, and it was almost by instinct that he picked his way among the crevasses until he saw the outlines of Davis’ shack loom indis- tinctly before him. Then he entered. Upon the little table was the yho-| tograph of a beautiful English xlrl,l evidently Davis’ sweetheart. The ! tears rushed into Hanson's eyes. What | a fate! What a fate!

Then followed a period of silence, intermin- ably long to the crouching man, but in reality of only a few seconds’ du- ' ration. The men came trooping out ! again. | “Dead for a ducat!” the sheriff mut. ! tered. “Poor devil! It's a mean way to die, ain't it, boys!” | They came slowly toward the spot where Hanson lay. | “Well, boys,” the sheriff said, “there ain’t nothing to be done, I guess, ex- cept to bury him. We've identified Hanson, or Hart, for sure from his : photograph, and we'll get the reward. We can’t keep him above ground until the detectives come from the East to identify him themselves.” | “That's right, Jim,” answered one | of the men. | “Then let’s finish the job,” said the sheriff, halting. “I saw a spade out- side the shack. There's no use com- ing back again from San Antonio.” The two men went back slowly, fol- lowed by the rest. They almost brushed against the rock behind which Hanson Fay concealed. As the sherift passed, Hanson recognized him. He was a man from San Antonio, five miles over the mountain, a village into which Hanson had sometimes gone for provisions, taking a short cut through the hills. San Antonio did not com- prise part of the secluded valley be- low. The news of the fugitive’s death would be flashed across the continent long before it filtered into the isolated community among which Myra — dwelled.

Outside, where there was a small space of deep soil among the rocks, was a newly-made grave. The cabin was empty. It seemed incredible to Hanson that his friend lay there, burfed from sight until the judgment day. His footprints were still upon the turf; there was the chair in which he had sat, and the impress of his body upon the bed. And in his hand Hanson still held the photograph. Stooping down he threw some spade- fuls of earth aside and placed the pho- tograph, face downward, above the dead man. Then he threw the dirt over the spot once more and heaped on boulders to guard against raiding coyotes. A Bible text came into his mind: “There is no greater love than this, than a man lay down his life for his friend.” All at once Hanson found himselt sobbing uncontrollably. Davis had died, and, in dying, had given him his freedom. Aye, but there was some- Simplicity Makes This Evening Frock a Success. ‘ A Properly Fitted Shoe is One of the Joys of Life graceful lines, and not so very difficult that it might not be undertaken at home.
