I had not plannedl any espionage-— it was simply a chance which made my movements nolseless; but I paused, tea kettle in hand, as the sound of Mrs. Marks's voice, muf- fled but plainly hysterical, came my ears, ““You're just Petey,” she said. “If you watch your step you're goin' to have a nice, long stay in that sani- tarfum up the river, Then what will become of me ¥ Petey Threatens His Wife That she meant Sing Sing prison I was sure, from my knowledge of her atrocious slang, refrained goin' plain finite care that no warning sound of my presence should come to the cou- ple in the next room.

So was Sally, mental prediction, she much about it, e\\n to Bob Wells, who had ridden twenty miles to ex. plain and would have to ride back again that night, Bob was the sheriff, He was other things besides sheriff :things that were much more important in a material way. He had cattle of his own, and & couple of mining claims that promised, and he owned a general .store at the county seat, Dad Morgan said there wasn't a more likely young hustler in all Montana than Bob Wells, And when Bob took to calling on Sally, Dad felt that the future was working jeself out in a proper and prosperous fashion. As nearly as out, in the abscnc tion, Sally was going last to sce about things for her trousseau. Any- how, the sheriff seemed to be certain enough about it, and Sally made no denial, She had known Bob Wells since she first rode her own pony, as a little wild thing raised on the DBar-M, and she did not encounter any surprise in the idea of marrying him. “T reckon,” said Dad, as he glanced up from his supper, “that Bob's got more to lose by your missin' thal train than maybe anybody el around these parts." The sheriff winked as for the coftee pot and helped himsell to another cup. He was a large, healthy and well pleased young man, with a slightly bolsterous air, even in moments of repose, Ma Morgan nodded, but made no | comment. Ma was never very talka- tive; ordinarily she contented herself with confirmatory nods, the opinions and conclusions of others usually be- ing sufficient for her. “If it wasn't for the fac. “hat there'd be no way of getting the forse back, I'd ride over alone,” said Sal “No chance," declared the sheriff. “Pooh!

T'Il take you"” The sheriff laid down his knife and stared. The Wreck never failed to amuse him, but this was their third meeting. So the Wreck would take her to the train, would he? The sheriff glanced at Dad and grinned, a hors he inquired. a machine,” answered Wreck, shortly. 'Oh-h-h!" Tt the was spoken with usty good nature, but it carried a volume of scorn. So the Wreck thought, at any rate, for he glared through his horn-rimmed glasses and pushed his plate back. “Want me to drive you over in the machine?” he+ demanded, switching his glance to Sally. He flung it out as’ sweeping challenge that included even Ma, “Why, it would be | Sally.

By the trail which wound high along the eastern flank of Rlack Top it was about twenty miles, as nearly as Sally could figure. They could not follow the high trail ,of course.. somewhere a road branched, which they must take, and Sally was intent on watching for the road. It was an odd sensation, bumping to forget that there had been words with the sheriff the night before, just as he was saddling to ride back to his job at Tisher. Once she remarked the fact to him that it was a pretty bad trail, after he had navigated a detour that car- | ried them around a boulder. “Bad trail?” he echoed, almost sharply. “You don't call this bad, | do you? I call it a houlevard.” | He was obsessed with a resolve to make the fask so childishly simple | that the sherift would eat his words | and be overwhelmed with mortifica- tion.
