A gawky youth came stumbling Up, his outstretched hands carefully holding two tin cups filled with eof- fee close to the boiling point. Belhg gawky, he stubbed his toe as he was rounding the group of women, and Mrs, Miller shrieked and swung back her hand, cuffing the gawky one straight into the thickest of the crowd, Other women screamed, Mrs, Miller whirled on Lance. “You pushed him on me, If that ain't a Lorrigan trick! ———" “Yeah—what yuh mean?

He sprung upward and forward, and got a grip on the hand that held the gun. With his left hand he wrenched the gun away, With his right he pulled the man free of the crowd and out where there was room, and called aloud: “This is a Lorrigin dance, and the Lorrigans are going to have order. Those of you who brought chips on your shoulders, and whisky to soak the chips in, ean drink your whisky jand do your fighting among your- |selves, off the Lorrigan ranch. Woe |aim here to have fun. There's music jand room to dance, and plenty of chuck and plenty of coffee, and the dance is going right on without any | fuss whatever.” Lance, looking out acrogs the |crowd, caught Belle’s glance, and |nodded toward the school house. | Belle ‘hurried away to find the mustelans and set them playing. Mary Hope, Lance discovered, was already in the school house. Also | several of the intoxicated wero there, and the quadrille was being danced with so much gest that the whole bullding shook. “Don't dance any more, girl”) Lance sald. “It's getting pretty wild —and it will be wilder. They must have hauled it out fn barrels!” Mary Hope looked at him, but she did not smile, did not answer, “I'm sorry the secret is no nicer,” Lance went on, “I thought it would be great to have @ house-warming dance—but they're making it too blamed warm! It’s time little girls like you went home,” he finished, and somehow got her to the door without having her trampled upon. “Where are your wraps?” “There,” said Mary Hope, and pointed to the corner behind them, sleeping children were piled indis- criminately. Lance felt of a cont or two, chose} the heaviest, found something soft! “Where's your horse? he asked Mary Hope, while he slipped the coat on her and buttoned it. “T haven't any horse here.

Are you game?” Like the pintos, Mary Hope was too astonished to rebel. hill, snorting now and then, swerving sharply away from rock or bush that threatened them with vague horrors in the clear starlight. Lance let them go loping along at their usual pace. “Belle has her own ideas about horse training,” Lance chuckled. “It’s aw lot of trouble I'm making for you,” said Mary Hope. “I should not have told the He and gone to the @ance.” She looked wistfully at the face of this wickedest of the Lorrigans, his profile seen dimly in the starlight. He did not look wicked. Under his brim she could see his brows, heavy and straight, and lifted whimsically at the inner points, as tho he were thinking of something amusing. His nose was fine and straight, too—not at all like a beak, tho her father had always miain- tained that the Lorrigans were but jhuman vultures.

Be just a little bit happy tonight, won't you, girl—~you lonely little girl—with the blue, blue eyes!” There was @ vibrant, caressing note in his voice. It was in his eyes while he looked at her, on his lips while he spoke to her. But the next moment he looked ahead at the trail. Mary Hope turned her face to t! starlit rangeland. She breathed quickly, fought back tears, fought the feeling that she had been kissed, All thru the silent ride that followed she fought the feeling. Lance did not *peak again. He sat beside her, and she felt that he was thinking about her, felt that his heart was making love to her—hated herself fiercely for the feeling, fought it and felt it just the same. “It’s just a way he has with him!” she told herself, bitterly, when he swung the team up in front of the section house, “He doesna mean it— he doesna know and he doesna care!" . . . . . “That you, Lance? Where in the world have you been all this while? I came mighty near going gunning after the man that stole my team, let me tell you--and I would have if Tom hadn't found your horwe tied up to the fence, and guessed you'd gone But I must say, honey, you never followed any short cut!” This was much ¢@asier than Lance had expected. “Had to take her to Jumpoff, Belle.

I've got to stop off, any to see a fellow in Reno I promised—any hot water handy?” There was a perceptible pause be- fore Belle answered. “Honey, I don’t blame you for going, I expect we are awful rough civilized folks, But—you know, don’t you, that the Lorrigans never spoiled your party for you? It—it just hap- pened that the Jumpoff crowd brought whisky out from town, We tried to make it pleasant—and it won't happen again——" “Bless your heart Lance unex- Pectedly gathered her into his arms. “If you think I'm getting so darn Civilized I can't stay at home, take @ look at me! But I've got to go.” He patted her reassuringty on tho head, laid his cool cheek against hers for minute, and turned abruptly away into his own room. ‘I've got to go,” he repeated under his breath. “I might get foolish if 1 Ne} Seattle, next summer, will be the She got in.| starting place for one big aefial race It will also be the terminal for a proposed Los Angeles-Seattlc commercial air- plane transportation line, if a sult- able landing place Is provided. These statements were made by Col. H. H. Afnold and Maj.

The two races referred to are the Seattle to-Alaska aerial derby, plans for which are now under way, and the Pacific Coayt aerial derby, which will consist of an aitplane fight from Los Angeles to Seattle and re- turn.

Peddled Rumors Lance left within @ week, but not before n piano had been added to the school house outfit, In spite of the. fact that the “house-warming” dance had ended in more or less of a free- for-all fight, the achool offered pon. mibilities for social Ratherings that would be greatly enhanced by a Diano. It was probably Al's and Duke's of this fact that induced fom to this added expendi. ture of money. Lance cjeverly al- lowed them to forget that he had suggested the idea, Lance selected the plano in San Francisco, and saw to ite shipping. At the same time he sent some fifty Volumes of books as @ start for a school library, Nor were there latter exclusive of the sort of modern fic- tion a young girl might enjoy. But Lance, in his enleavora to make Mary Hope a Iittle less “lonely,” had not counted on the gossiping tongues of the Black Rim. About & month after the advent of the piano, insin- uating rumors reached Mary Hope which so chagrined het Seotch soul that she determined the plano must be paid for by the community. To this end she got up an all-day plenic and dance the Fourth of July at the school house, and after much de bating, decided nt to invite the Lor: rigans.

Nothing could have incensed the latter more. A dance in the school house the Lorrigans had built on their own land, and the Devil's Tooth not asked, was more than the outfit could stand. Poor Mary Hope did not realize what a breach, not only of etiquette, but of kindliness, had been committed until the dance was about half over. Then in walked Tom, Belle and several of the hus- kiest of the Devil's Tooth men. The latter picked up the piano, carried it out of the school house, loaded it into a wagon and hauled it away. ‘This was not done without hot words on both sides. Mary Hope trie@ to explain that the dance was for express purpose of paying for the piano, while Tom Lorrigan coldly maintained that he had already paid PUBLIC SHOULD TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION T0 GUARD AGAINGT FLU" and you are apt to fall an easy vic Reports Show That ‘influ | (7 if 798 come tn contact with the enza Epidemic Is Gain-| People who are well and strong ing apicge Oy, Many Sections of Country are not likely to eontract the disease because they are able to thfow it KEEP SYSTEM IN BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION off.

Before the affair was over, all the neighborly effects of the Lor- rigans’ gift of the school house were undone. The story of the feud went the length and breadth of the Black Rim country. Nor did it stop there. It reached the ears of Lance, homeward bound from California, in the smok- ing car, recounted with much gusto by @ loud-voiced drummer. The story was elaborated, and dressed up to fit the occasion, but Lance recog- nized much of it as truth, and the details of the gossip which was the cause for Mary Hope's trying to pay fot the plano and his father’s method of retaltation for the slight put upon Belle cut deep. He was angry with Mary Hope, but angrier with his people. After all, she was only a sirl, and was putting up her fight for independence, not only alone, but against all the odds her dour Scotch father and narrow, prejudiced moth- ér could put in her way. Brooding over the things he had involuntarily overheard, the rasping voice of the drummer. in the next seat became a monotone until sud- denly @ loud guffaw of laughter on the part of the story teller and his listeners brought Lance back to at- tention with a start. “Yep, Tom Lorrigan’s rich, rich as they make ‘em, an’ gettin’ riche: the tasping voice continued. “He @on’t have any truck his neighbors, and his men don’t.
