Berrie w,as quick to answer. "1 don't know how he found out we were ou the. trail. 1 suppose the old lady phoned htm. Anyhow, while we were camped for noon.yesterday"—her face flamed again at. thought of that tender, beautiful moment .when tliey were resting on the grasst—."while we were at our lunch he came tearing down the hill on that big bay horse of his and took a flying jump at Wayland. As Wayland went down he struck his head,on a stone. .1. thought be was dead, and I was paralyzed for a sec ond. Then" I flew" at' Cliff and just about choked the life out of him.

Of course Way land couldn't ride, he was so dizzy and' kind o' confused, and so 1 went into camp right .then* at timber line. Along about sunset Nash came riding up from this side and Insisted on staying^to help me. so I let blm." Mrs. "McFarliine's tensie "attitude re-' taxed.

Well, we might as -well go' to bed. We can't settle anythiBg till your father gets home," she said. Wayland rose next morning free from dizziness and almost free from pain, and when he tame out of bis room nis expression .was. cheerful., "l-feei.a* it, Fd slept a week, and l'ui nuugry. 1 don't know why 1 should be. but ain." Mrs. McFarjane met him, with some thing very Intimate, .something almost maternal in lier look, but her words were as few nnd as restrained as ever He divined that she had been taiktng with Berrle and that a fairly clear un derstanding of the 'situation, had been reaclie}. TUitt this understanding ta yblved him closely he was aware, but iiothing In his manner acknowledged tt. She did. not' usk any questions. I.»e llevUig that'sooner or later tht? whole *i9ry mp.st ,c bme.,out. The fact that Sto'na Moore'aud" Mrs Belden knew that Berrie had started back on Thur* day 1 with young.Norcross made, It easy for.-the'-villagers-toi discover that Rh^ had not l-enched'the ranch (till Satun day. "What could Joe have been think ing, of to allow them'to go?", she said "Mr. Nash's presence,in the oainp must be made, known, but then there is, Clif ford's assault upon Mr. Noreross, Can that l)e:kept secret t«|o?", And so wifile •the young pepple chntted.the troubled mother waited in fear, knowing, that On a. day or, tvro the ,countryside would be,aflame.with accusation., A long .day's rest, a second, nijjht'b sleep, set Wpyland on., his f^et. He ca,me to breakfast quite, gay, '"|lBarring the bickoiy nut on the bijfck of my bead." be explained. "I'm feeilng One. Almost/reaiy (fir (ggqgieri ^gpp^sn. I may make a "ranger yet.*' Benie. though equally gay. was not so .sure1 of "bis^ability''"' to^^tifn'' to Work. "I reckon joji'd better go easy till daddy gets back, but If you tee! like it we'll ride up to the postoflke this afternoon." "I want to start right io? to learn to throw that hitch, and I'm going to practice with an ax till 1 can strike^ twice in tbe same place. This trip was an eye opener. Great man I'd be in a windfall, wouldn't 1?" He was persuaded to remain 1 very quiet for another day,, and part of it was spent in conversation with, Mrs. McFarlane, -whom be liked, very much, and an hour or more in. writing a long letter wherein be announced to,lils fa tber .his intention.. of going into tbe forest service. "I've got to build up a constitution," he said, "and I don't know of jit. better place todoitlu. Be sides, I'm beginning- to be1 interested in the scheme. 1 like the supervisor^ I'm' living In his house: at the preseht time, and I'm feeling .contented and happy, 80 doa't-worry about me." He was indeed quite comfortable, save-when lie. realized that Mrs. Mc Farlane vras. taking, altogether too much for granted In their relationship.^ It was delightful to be so watched over, so waited upon, so instructed, "But where is it all leading me?" he con tinued to ask himself, and still that wall of reserve troubled and saddened Berrie. N On the fourth morning the phone rang, and the squawking voice of Mrs. Belden came over the wire—"I wanted to know if Berrie and her feller got home all right?" "Yes, they arrived safely." The old woman chuckled. "Last I see of Cliff be was hot on their trail looked like he expected to take a hand in that expedition. Did he overtake'em?" "I don't bear very well. Where are you?" "I'm at the Scott ranch. We're com Ine round 'th« horn' today." A-*fiS«fre£s-'^me(sujper^lsor^'|lf?.-|' "Efef Uea'diid VcroSs- yesterday: Say .' Cliff was mad as a hornet when lie started.

McFarlane was perfectly aware that sh"e "was'not silencing the"gossip-, on tlie cytitrury, fihe was. certain .that the Beldeiis would leave a traii of poisonous commept from the Ptarmi gan to Bear Tooth. It was all sweet material for them. Berrie wanted to know who was .speaking, and. ,Mrs~.McFarlane replied. "Mrs. Belden wanted to know if you got ,through' all right." "She said som'ethinjg else, something to, heat you up," persisted the girl, 'whoperceived her mother's agitation. "What did she say—something about me-rand Cliff?' j. The mother did not answer, for Way land entered-the-room -at the -moment, but Berrie. knew that traducers were already busy wlth ber affairs, "I don't care'flfthytbing about old lady Belden,V she,saiij. later, "but I bate to bave that Moore girl telling lies about me."
