And it la pos sible that, knowing his feelings to ward her she was angTier still hecaust with this influence she could not se cure the confession she sought. It il likewise true that she felt In ber heart that Bedlght was right in protecting the name of the girl and should be eulogized rather than scourged for it and yet, when a man has almost told a woman he lovea her, she has a right to expect that he will do almutt anything quasi-reasonable that sd asjes of him.

Btlt with fha ftnrtl mn, nf fltA 1lnn and the luxury of full repose, Jackie's heart smote her. "Well, anyhow." she mused, aa the uroppea on to steep, "i II noia me Ifcl- PI To be in the tollg of a atate'a attor ffiney is bad enough in any event; but mrvnmss MU Farnvorth Sat Holdliig Ankle In Both Hands. Her It the aforesaid attorney la a woman, oh, most unfortunate Is the man! Thursday waa Mayor Bedlght's day of attendance upon llargsret Tarns worth', who prosecuted the case against him on the morning of his ar rival. She entered the arena after an earnest conference with "Judge" Vinlng. who seemed unusually dis trait and worried. "Mr. Bedlght," began the lady attor ney, in a professional tone, "I want to get some balsam for a pillow this morning. Do you know the tree when you see It?" Yes I've been In the North "Woods on many a vacation and am familiar with the flora and fauna ot the coun try. I am at your service,"- responded the. mayor. They set out on foof along & path war that led into the" wood. One In- side tbe forest It wound In a trail like that the calf made, through apruoe and hemlock, poplar and maple, with how and then a white birch adding a touch of vivid contrast to the green. The girl, an enthusiast, was walking ahead and babbling of the nature pic tures along the way. Suddenly Bedlght felt something bit him In the back, as though n. pel let thrown from close range. He turned Inquiringly. From a clump of brush along the trail a woman's hand waved at him and a white paper flut tered to the path. Turning, the mayor retraced .bis steps. The messenger crouched low and Bedlght, having se cured the message, touched his fin gers to bis lips' and wafted her a salu tation, cbasto and replete with appre ciation. And then from ahead came tho sur prised call of Miss Farnsworth. "Hurry!" cautioned a voice from be hind the clump of greenery. "Coming." cried Bedlght, turning and forging ahead through the wood. A pair of pheasants arose with drumming -whirr from beside tbe path. "Thcrsl" exclaimed the mayor, ao' ceptlng the birds as the foundation for a clever ruse, "you've frightened them away." "Oh, wjhy .didn't you tell me?" re proached the girl, getting a fleeting glance of the brown beauties as the; Boated, off'' through the trees. Bedlght, with the note clutched In bis band, made reasonable apologies for his thoughtlessness and the girl, unsuspecting, led on, chattering de lightedly. It-was a day of days to be In the wood and youth is ever buoyant and gay. Plainly tbe girl was lc tune with tbe mood of the time and the place, and like the beatitudes about ber, sought to be congenial and natural. The man felt himself pleaeed with her, tor he, too, !ovd tbe soli tude and. tbe harmonies of the forest. Presently she sighted a 'scarlet tan ager and ran ahead. Bedlght, waiting for tha opportunity, unfolded, tbe, alls of paper. In a. woman's handwriting thlswarning was wrtten: 'BE CAMEPTJU. SHE 13 TRYING TO TRAP YOU." Bedlght smiled and tucked tbe not In bis pocket. Mlis Farnsworth was sitting upon a fallen monarch of the wood when he caught up with her. Is her hands she held a lichen that had-taken her fancy. Of the, party at Mine Host's hotel, no girl, was prettier than' Mar garet Farnsworth and trnm as Intellec tual. Vivacity, and' spirit, predominat ed and as Bedlght !ookedat her he did rot 'belittle her ability to make things Interesting for him. She sprang to ber feet as he drew near, andJratuafter a big brown but terfly. Bedlght sat down on tbe log and waited." Suddenly he beard a scream, tbe rolce of a .woman In pain? Miss Farnsworth ,sat upon the ground holding ber ankle la both' hands. Her lips were tightly drawn. L) Ber face, gave evidence of pain. What Is It?" Qaestlooed Bedlght, apprehensively, going up to her and taking ho.d of ber arm. ' i ' "Help ne to stand," she directed, gripping his arm. He raised her. She let her foot touch the ground, winced and toppled toward him. "There's a wood chopper's cabin Just ahead," she groaned. "Could could you carry me there?" blushing. For answer he picked ber up in bis arms. She ihrew ber arms about bis neck and clung to blni, her hair brushlug Ills cheek. In sight of tbe but she whispered: "Walt! Let me down a minute." She stood leaning against him. ber full, ripe lips tesslngly near. For a moment aa he looked into ber fath omless eyes, Bedlght felt the weak ness of man for woman coming over him. To combat it, he moied farther away, supporting her at arm's length. "It w'ould be well to leave me at the cottage and go back for help. Look inside, please, while I lean against this birch." she directed. , 1 "There's probably a burglas in the I woodbox or a man under the bed." be said laughingly, as he started toward the cottage. Tbe mayor stood for a moment upon tbe threshold and then entered. As his form disappeared within, there appeared around the corner' of tbe cabin a man the game warden of Lakevllle. In a twinkling he had alammed shut the door and thrown a great bar across it from without. "There, darn ye; I told ye I'd git ye!" he bellowed with radiant pom posity. Bedlght turned angrily as th? door dqsed and realized too late that the warning given along tbe trail bad not safeguarded him. He was a prisoner. Peering thiough the dirty window pane, an aperture not large enough to permit tbe passing ot a man's body, he-. saw Miss Farnsworth leave the tree against which she bad been lean ing and walk leisurely toward tbe hotel. With the realization that the girl had deliberately led blm Into the bands of the enemy, he gritted his teeth and then, at the thought that perhaps Jackie Vinlng had planned this coup de main, Bedlght felt a queer sinking ot certain hopes that heretofore had buoyed up a heart yearning to take high hurdles. No a woman may keep a man In hot wa ter on general principles of love, but to throw him in jail Is treachery, and when a woman reaches that point she Is like the woman scorned a perfect fury. The room In which Bedlght found himself was big and rough like sonif of tbe words the mayor said before his sense of the ludicrous returned Then, In full possession of the bumoi ot the situation, he sat down on the side of the bunk and grinned. A mar can grin when the joke Is on him, bul be seldom becomes boisterous vndci tbe circumstances unless he is In pub lic, where it is always good taste tc prove his good fellowship by blatant laughter. That the game warden had gone foj help there was no doubt. Remember. Ing tbe slap which Bedlght had ad ministered on tho day of their first meeting, that vorthy did not desire to take further -hanccs. "But if Miss "Vinlng planned the trap, why did not tfc warden bring enough help vltb him to arrest me?' This was tho question th mnyoi J Mked hmEeifand Rave It ip. Ht bad no way of knowing that tbe war den had sent word to the sterift tc be on hand but that functionary wai st the moment marooned on an island five miles from the village with ample food sent by a kind proldence in tbe light of the moon, but with no boat by which he might navigate the Inter venlng waters. An hour passed, during which time Bedlght had satisfied himself thai wood choppers' cabins In general anc this one in particular were bulit wltt tbe express purpose of being bettei Jails than those possessed by the or dinary hamlet In the north country He was securely confined and h was in to stay until some one chost to liberate him. A voice from without suddenly gave him hope. It was a voice he knew well tbe volco of Jackie Vinlng. "Mr. Bedlght," queried the voice "are you there Inside the cabin?" "No, Miss Conspirator," replied the mayor, -vindictively, "I'm up on the roof playing solitaire." "Will you tell me which of the girls was with you last night?" de znanded Miss Vinlng. "It so, I will Jet you out." . "Oh, I like it In here," replied the mayor, enthusiastically. "It's a nice. quiet place, no hooks to bait, nc mound builders to excavate, no run away horses to catch, no balsam tc -pick, nothing to do but relax and tb'ink'of the perfidy ot one's fellows feminine gender." "I'm glad you like It," responded the "judge," with a wholesome flavor la her voice, "and I'm sorry to advise you that tbe warden and reinforce ments are about due. Wouldn't it be wiser to help me protect a thought less girl and go free than to be con trary and go to Jail?" "I like the jail at Lakevllle even bet ter than this," responded the prisoner affably, "It is light and airy and has easy exits In case of fire or ennui." "Very well," she replied, "repent at leisure." Tbe mayor listened. She was go ing away. "Miss' Vinlng." she cried. "Yes, Mr. Bedight." "You know ytxy well .you would de spise zae If I told you what you are asking. I am firm ln'zny resolve sot to appear In this light. You may as well go now, for I shall .not answer, your question." , He watched ber lithe form as she walked rapidly away, her head erect her shoulders back, every inch I iplecdld woman. scarcely bad she disappeared when Bedight beard tb bar thrown, back, and a voice whispered cautiously: , "Walter! "Walter! The door Is un barred. Walt until I get away!" From his dingy window Bedlght saw another feminine form saunter leisurely up tbe trail and this one, too, was slim and fair to look upon, a woman that any good man might well desire to win. CHAPTER X. Instead of leaving the vicinity o! the cabin after being liberated. Be dlght Closed be door and replaced the bar. Drifting back Into tbe bushes, he waited. An hour passed and then came voices and rustling in the wood. Soon tbe game warden and two deputies htrve Into view. The warden's face wus flushed' With ex citepifnj. as bestrode alongJu ad; vance of bis men. Approaching the door, he called out: "Will ye surrender peaceable and come out o' there, er shall I come In an' git ye?" From -nit bill there emanated no an swerlug voice. Out in the bushes twenty feet away, Bedlght waited, tensely. "Corao on out: the door's unlocked," shouted the warden. Still no answer. "Qol darn ye; 111 show ye. Com on In, fellers," bawled tbe officer throwing open tbe door and dasblnj Into tb? cabin, followed by his depu ties. With an agile spring, Bedlght lft the clump of bushes and da6hd for the door. Tho warden saw him com ing and sprang to meet him but too late! Slamming the door shut, the mayor sbot the bar home. Ho could hear the strenuous objec tions of tbe prisoners as he hurried away, making a detour to a fanuer'i house, where he hoped to secure -something to eat. A ruddy-checked farmer's wife fed him bountifully and protested at the unnecessary size ol tbe coin he gave ber for hla dinnei I and a basket ot provisions, with i which he eet out for the cabin. I Reaching the wood-choDDer's but In which two hours previous he had been a prisoner, be rapped on the door. "Whoever's there," cried an excited voice within. iet us out!" "Break the glass In the window," directed the mayor, his face Illumined with smiles, "and eat out of mj handl" A growl of mingled disappointment and relief preceded the shattering ol the glass. Bedlght held his basket oc bis left arm and began passing provl siona through the aperture. "Good grub, this, boys," be chuck led. "I serve excellent meals at botfc my boarding bouses. Ill bring you to bacco tomorrow night Just you make yourselves comfortable. How would you like a deck of cards?" It was dark when Bedlght reached Squirrel Inn and slipped unobserved to his room. "When Jackie Vinlng came down at six next morning to take a constltu tional before breakfast tbe mayoi sat In an easy cbalr on the veranda smoking his favorite pipe. "Will you kindly tell Miss Mason that I am waiting her commands? be asked easily, with no trace ot re sentment In his voice. "I was going to liberate you tbif morning," bhe said, simply, trying tc hide her surprise. "Oh, I got out last night, thank you. I'm particular about my own bed. Never could sleep well in a strange bunk." laughing. Aft er breakfast Alice Mason, the girl, appointed by tbe court to defend Bedight on tbe occasion of bis trial called blm aside. "As your attorney, I am led to oSci you your freedom today. I want tc go to Lakevllle for some cold cream and if you will ride to tbe Four Cor ners with me, I will let you escapo tc your own device. It la not alwayi that an attorney can vouch for hi! client, but I am willing to take a "111 Brlna You Tobacco Tomorrov Night." chance on you," confidently. "And bo sides, these girls have been badgering the life out ot you. It's time somebodj took pity," laughing. Tbe mayor put his lips close, to the girl's rosy ear. "Honest." he said, "hope to die, I've never hid so much fun In all my life but that bill business Is dangerous, and I'd like to -get through with tbe ctdeal honorably. .1 can use today asd as a small expression of -mj ( mm -& sr3 I LvcH gratitude, I'll tend you the Jolllcst bit? box of candy ,a Chicago as I pabt through." "Thank 70U," she said, her eyes dancing. "I'll leave the selection to you." , An hour later Bedlght, astride ta good borse, was galloping toward Uordeau, a railroad crossing ten miles to the north Arriving at tbe station he sent a telegram, ate a typical meal at a typical country hotel, and started back. He reached tbe cross roads at "aaaaaaaaaaaVvUk v iuii' 1 V 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiw y Cleo Summers, dusk and let bis tired mount plod leisurely homeward. Saturday morning broke clear and tense after a sweltering night. Tbe sun was copper colored and the leaves upon the crest, where they were wont to bow and curtsey to the zephyr's breath, hung listless In tho shimmer ing heat. At breakfast, .nono looked refreshed and Mine Host complained ' of drought. Pauline, the cook, whose eggs were always soft-boiled to a creamy elasticity and whose toast waa J ever golden brown and delicious, I fretted the former Into blue-black ! globules surrounded by leathery gela-1 tine, whllo the latter was burned and ' desiccated to a bard-tack condition de-' cldedly disappointing to her usually delighted followers. Tho thermometer, ! to all intents and purposes, was so ; basely ambitious as to seemingly have no other desire than to climb higher ' and higher In its relentless rise. "Como on, Mr. Bedlght," exclaimed I Molly McConnell, "row me over to i Waxelbaum's Point. I want to sketch . La Veck'a cabin, the remaining relic ' of what was once the oldest trading j post In the state. It is tumbledown i and ramshackle and will make a fine j study. I was by there a week ago oc i a calm day and the reflection in the I placid water waa almost as realistic J as the old log-pile itself. A photo ': graph taken when I saw tbe cable would puzzle tho beholder to tell which waa tho cabin and which the reflection. Today promises to be 3tll and bids fair to afford me an oppor tunlty to get just tbe right atmos phere. I'll be ready in ten minutes.' She came down to the dock, he: black eyes daa?Ing in anticipation. Hedlgbt packed her outfit In the prow of the boat along with tbe luncb basket, held the boat firmly against the dock as she put her dainty fool upon tho stern seat, and dipped grace fully into position, a magazine under ber arm and a camera slung across her shoulder. As tho mayor took tho o-r3 be look ed at her bareheaded, her lustrous black locks defying tbe sun, her full tempting lips shaping a perfect cupid's bow, a saucy little dimple on each side at a well-rounded cheek, and teeth aa white as milk-corai through which the laughter trilled and rippled like a singing spring across its minty way. Surely a man might well be sen tenced for life to such a woman's waim, wuue oui a uay a service were i as an hour in Naple3 after a hard r.Bfl,rol nu?.)w . i aiui.y aiuuuueii uuu uuu uj. muse daring, unconventional temperaments that bespoke a woman of full blood and spirit, a being of beauty and grace and voluptuous constancy. Tc TUB man she would be all in all, rein ing queen of bis heart, laughing at affinities, scorning jealousies, holding him secure with her mental and phys ical charms. The lake was calm and through Its mirrored depths long strands ot weed and marsh grass could be seen stream ing upward in the shallow places. Not even a ripple stirred tbe surface and tbe sun reflected from the sheening waters, glowed heatedly upon the faces ot tbe two In tbe boat the girl with hair like the night and eyes ol liquid velvet, tho man with a sentence to serve In the Oarden ot Eden with a pippin as tbe forbidden fruit. Tbe mayor rested on hla 'oars and mopped bis sweating brow. The girl's eyes danced: ' "And now." she babbled, "you are In a position to appreciate tbe arduous ' life ot tho galley slave. Row on, my J man!" "O, that this were the river ot Life!" countered Bedight, match Id g the woman's frippery. "One of the obligations imposed upon you by the 'Judge.'" solemnly,! "was not to propose marriage or play ! the role ot Lothario. I trust your In-' tentlons toward me are like the Christ, ( mas snow simply another layer of , white purity!" "Pray do not tempt me, Eve," he said; "a boat Is fully as perilous for loving as a flat for matrimony." Her merry laughter rippled put across tbe water from a threat as, shapely as en artist's model. Her neck, browned from tbe life at Squir rel Inn, was full and moulded free of hollow dips.
