Gilbert recognized Iioxanna White.
"Why, tubbe sho!" h" multered to
himself. "Whoa, lhandy!"

woman wa.s no common "po' liukra."
She cornmatidod his involuntary resjtect
by the subtle magnetism of charaet^ r,
and niortsncr she had the advantage, in
his eyes, of belonging, in a way.

b'. hooM'd him to do his best maiincr.s.
"TVhy, howilyi, inisii*?" he wiij, w itli
s broal grin, as ho snatched off his hat.
•'Huh you do?"
"I'm middlin' well, thankee," said Miss
White, who was not above disjdaying

The cart was lo\* and Iioxanna was)
active, ho the "hysting" was not diLlicult i
of accomplishment. She sat llat down
in the lmtlom of the cart, and l[tiuiedial*
ly took ujx'ii her.-elf tin* burden of con

along U'side the ox.
"I'm bound fur tJol, Thome," she an
noitnced. I'm fair sef to tackl** the

"Whv. Missy, what a funny child you

"Is Maw so Nick adin' agin?" old Gil
bert faltered, with a sudden appalling
memory of the vow Missy h:ul exacted,
concerning which he had not felt called
upon to take action as yet.
"Well, he ai:Wl nevingoin* to lc e*try
strong, 1 don't reckon," said Miss White
ooiniosodly. "I/.'asf.vi-e, ho ain't the

ahvig the prirate road that led from Mrs.
Inward Thome's place.
"Deli mawster, now," sai4 old GillnTt,
with mingled satisfaction and uneasiness.
He had a burning curionity to know what
the colonel would say to this Uild inter

in prosjiect of the storm that WJIS likely
to follow. "Hit's mawster, slio's you

Hoxnnna White .called a halt, and
Hcrainbled out of liio cart to take her
poshioii by tlx- road side, like an army
draw n up for battle. .She raised her hand
as the buggy drew ar, a signal for it
to stop, and the colonel reined in Ids
horsey.
"GiHid evenin' to you. Col. Thorne,"
eaid she, in the high Jk\v of excitement.
Tin- colonel lifte'd his hat with stately
politem v ami l«»wed, but did not hpeak.
"You don't 'pear to know me. but I
know you." said 5Mss White, th'i un
tcrrilled. "llow do. Miss Thorne?" she
nodded fainiliawy, even a little conde
scendingly, for she regarded Miss Elvira
as "l ulher a po' weakly inimlvd critiur."
Mis Klvira Imwed very riiglitly in re
