*&W7I 0 A Romance of Stream* Affection Bp REX BEACH tw Ke [CONTINUED.) fcuf-'-he quivered apprehensively— "111 bet that rummy packs a 'ehiv' in every pocket." From outside the bunk-house came the low, musical notes of a quail, and Glass puckered his lips to answer, then grew pale. "That's her," he de clared, in a panic. "I've got a date with her." "Are you going to keep it!" "Not for a nose-bag full of gold nug gets! Take a look, Wally, and see what she's doing." Speed did as directed. "She's wait lag." "Let her wait," breathed the trainer. "Here comes Stover and Willie." "More bad news." Glass unrolled ale prayer-rug, and stepped upon it hastily. "Say, what's that word? Quick! You know! The password. Quick!" "Allah!" "That's her!" The fat man began to mumble thickly. It was plain that Ills spirit was utterly broken. But this call was prompted purely "There's' Something for You." *y solicitude, it seemed. Willie had •little to say, and Stover, ignoring all mention of the earlier encounter he had witnessed, exclaimed: "There's been some queer goin's-on •round here, Mr. Speed. Have you no .tlced 'em?" "No. What sort?" "Well, the other mornin' I discov ered some tracks through one of Mist Jean's flower-beds." "Tracks!" "Sure! Strange tracks. Man's tracks." "What does that signify?" "We ain't altogether certain. Ca Tara says he seen a stranger hangin' around night before last, and jest now we found where a hoss had been pick eted out in the ravine. Looks like he'd stood there more'n once." "It has nothing to do with me." "I ain't sure. It looks to us like it's somebody from the Centipede. They're equal to any devilment." Speed showed an utter lack of com prehension, so Willie explained. "Understand, we've made this race ipay or play. Mebbe they aim to cripple you." "Me!" Speed started. "Good heav ens!" "Oh, they'd do it quick enough! I iwouldn't put it past 'em to drop a .46 through your winder if it could be done safe." "Shoot me, you mean?" "Allah!" said Glass, devoutly from hie corner. Stover and Willie nodded. "If I was you, I'd keep the lamp between me and the winder every night." "Why, this is abominable!" ex claimed the young college man, stiffly. "I—I can't stand for this, it's getting too serious." "There ain't nothin' to fear," said Willie, soothingly. "Remember, I told you at the start that-we'd see there wasn't no crooked work done. Well, I'm goin' to ride herd on you, constant, Mr. Speed." He smiled in a manner to reassure. "If there's any ihootin' comes off, I'll be in on it." "S—say, what's to prevent us being murdered when we're out for a run?" queried Glass. "Me!" declared the little man. "I'll •addle my bronc' an' lope along with you. We'll keep to the open country." Instantly Speed saw the direful con sequences of such a procedure, and summoned his courage to say: "No. It's very kind of you, but I shall give up training." "What!" "I mean training on the road. I— III run indoors." "Not a bit like it," declared Stover. "You'll get your daily run if we have lay off all the punchers on the place and put 'em on as a body-guard. We can't let. you get hurt. You're tforth too much to us." "Larry and I will take a chance." "Not for mine!" firmly declared the xainer. "i don't need no mineral in ny system. I'm for the house." "Then I shall run alone." "You're game," said Willie admir ngly, and his auditor breathed easier, 'but we can't allow it." "I—I'd rather risk my life than put ou to so much trouble." "It's only a pleasure." "Nevertheless, I can't allow it I'll -un alone, if they kill me for It." "Oh, they won't try to kill you. rhey'H probably shoot you I A O I A 4-*% IS in the legs. jasieM to ge*t awa*y witth Speed felt his knee-caps twitching. "I've got it!" said be at last. "I'll •un at night!" Stover hesitated thoughtfully. "I don't reckon you could do your self justice that-away. but you might fo-your traimV *t daylight. The ntiped«i goes to work the same time ve do, and the chances is your assas* lin won't miss his breakfast" ^Good! I—I'll do that!" "I sure admire your courage, but It you see anything suspicious, let us know. We'll git 'em," said Willie. "Thank you." The two men went out, whereupon Glass chattered: "W—what did I tell you? It's worse'n suicide to stick around this 'arm. I'm going to blow." "Where are you going?" "New York. Let's beat it!" "Never!" exclaimed the college man,, stubbornly. We'll bear from Covington before long. Besides, I can't leave until I get some money from home." "Let's walk." "Don't be a fool!" "Then I've got to have a drink." Glass started for the living-quarters, but at the door ducked quickly out of sight. "She's there!" he whispered tragically. "She seen me, too!" Mariedetta was squatting in the shade opposite, her eyes fixed stolidly upon the training-quarters. "Then you've got to lay low till she gives up," declared Wally, "We're in trouble enough as it is." For nearly an hour the partners dis cussed the situation while the Mexi can maid retained her position then, when Glass was on the verge of mak ing a desperate sally, Cloudy entered silently. Although thin had been an unhappy morning for the trainer, here at least was one person of whom he had no fear, and his natural optim ism being again to the fort, be greeted the Indian lightly. "Well, how'u the weather. Cloudy?" "Mr. Cloudy to you," said the other. Both Glass and his protege stared It was the first word the Indian had uttered since their arrival. Lawrence winked at his companion. "All right, if you like it better. How's the weather, Mister Cloudy?" He snickered at his own joke, where upon the aborigine turned upon, him slowly, and said, in perfect English: ,"Your humor is misplaced with me. Don't forget, Mr. Glass, that the one Yale football team you trained, 1 dropped a goal on from the forty-five yard line." Glass allowed his mouth to open in amazement. The day was replete with surprises. '96!" he said, while the light of un derstanding came over him. "You'r« Cloudy-butrthe-Sun-Shines "Yes—Carlisle." Cloudy threw bach his head, and pointed with dignity to the flag of his Alma Mater hanging upon the wall. "By Jove, I remember that!" ex Claimed Speed. "So will Yale so long as she lives," predicted the Indian, grimly. "You crippled me in the second half"—h« stirred his withered leg—"but 1 dropped it on you and—I have no1 forgotten." He ground the last sen tence between his teeth. "See here, Bo—Mr., Cloudy. You don't blame us for that?" Cloudy grunted, and threw a yellow envelope on the floor at Speed's feet "There is something for you," said he, while his lips curled. He turned and limped silently to the door. "And I tried to kid him!" breathed Glass with disgust, when the visitoi had gone.. "I ain't been in right sine* Garfield was shot." "It's a telegram from Covington!* cried Speed, tearing open the mes sage. "At last!" "Thank the Lord!" Glass started forward eagerly. "When '11 he be here' Quick!" Then he paused. J. Walling ford Speed had gone deathly pale, and was reeling slightly. "What's wrong?" The college man made uncertainly for his bed, murmuring incoherently: "I—I'm sick! I'm sick, Larry!" He fell limply at full length, and groaned. "Call the race off!" Glass snatched the missive from hii employer's nerveless fingers, and read, with bulging eyes, as follows: "J. Wallingford Speed, Flying Heart Ranch, Kidder, N. M.: "Don't tip off. Am in Jail Omaha Looks like ten days. "CULVER COVINGTON." The trainer uttered a cry like that of a wounded animal. "Call it off, Larry," moaned the Hope of the Flying Heart. "I've been poisoned!" "Poisoned, eh?" said the fat man, tremulously. "Poisoned! Nix! Not with me!" He walked firmly across the room, flung back the lid of Speed's athletic trunk, and began to paw through it feverishly. One after an other he selected three heavy sweat ers, then laid strong hands upon his protege and jerked him to his feet. "Sick, eh? Here, get into these!" "What do you mean, Lawrence?" in quired his victim. "If you get sick, I die." Glass opened the first sweater, and half smothered his protege with, it "Hur ry up! You're going into training!"» '"jryyf^jlTtityf »**y CHAPTER .XC HAT waa a terrgtle hour for J. Wallingford Speed.

When he re-1 fused to don the clothes selected for' dim, Glass fell upon him like a raging/ grizzly. "You won't, eb?" We'll see!" Then Speed took refuge in anger, ut the other cried: "Never mind the hysterics. B$ You're going to run off some blubbci to-day.". "But I have to go riding!" "Not a chance!" "I tell you I'll run when I come back," maintained the youth, almost tearfully beseeching. "They're wait ing for me." "Let 'em gallop—you can run along side." "With all these sweaters? I'd have a sunstroke." "U'B the best thing for you. 1 never thought of that." As Glass forced bis protege toward the house, the other young people ap peared clad for their excursion their horses were tethered to the porch. And it was an ideal day for a ride— warm, bright, and inviting. "We are ready!" called Jean gayly. "What in the world—" Helen paused at sight of the swathed figure. "Are you cold, Mr. Speed?" "Climb on your horses and get a start," panted the burly trainer "he's goin' to race you ten miles." "I'm going to do nothing of the sort. I'm going to—" But Glass jerked him violently, cry ing: "And no talkin' to gals, neither. You're trainin'. Now, get a move!" Speed halted stubbornly. "Hit her up, Wally! G'wan, now faster! No loafing, Bo, or I'll wallop you!" Nor did he cease until they both paused from exhaustion. Even then he would not allow his charge to do more than regain his breath be fore urging him onward. "See here," Wally stormed at last, "what's the use? I can't—" "What's the use? That's the use!" Glass pointed to the north, where a lone horseman was watching them from a knoll. "D'you know who that is?" The rider was small and stoop shouldered. "Willie!" "That's who." "He's following us!** With knees trembling beneath him Speed jogged feebly on down the road, Glass puffing at his heels. When, after covering five miles, they finally returned to the Flying Heart, it was with difficulty that they could drag one foot after another. Wally Speed was drenched with per spiration, and Glass resembled noth ing so much as a steaming pudding rivulets of sweat ran down his neck, his face was purple, bis lips swollen. "Y-you'Il have—to run alone—this afternoon," panted the tormentor. "This afternoon? Haven't I. run enough for—one day?" the victim pleaded. "Glass, old man, I—I'm all in, I tell you I'm ready to die." "Got to—fry off some more—leaf lard," declared the trainer with vul garity. He lumbered into the cook house, radiating heat waves, puffing like a traction-engine, while his com panion staggered to the gymnasium, "D' You Know Who That l»7" and sank into a chair. A moment later he appeared with two bottles ol beer, one glued to his lips. Both were evidently ice cold, judging from the fog that covered them. Speed rose with a cry. "Gee! That looks good!" But the other, thrusting him aside without removing* the neck of the bottle from his lips, gurgled: "No booze. Wally! You're trainin!" "But I'm thirsty!" shouted the ath lete, laying bands upon the full bottle, and trying to wrench it free. "Hare a little sense. If you're thirsty hit the sink." Glass still main tained his bold, mumbling indistinct ly: "Water's the v.orst thing in the world. Wait! I'll get you some." He stepped into the bunk-room, to return an instant later with a cup half full. "Rinse out your mouth, and don't swallow it all." "All! There isn't that much. Ugh! It's lukewarm. I want a bucket of Ice-water—ice-water!" "Nothing doing I won't stand to have j-our epictetus chilled." ."Mv what?"
