I t .was high noon and tho day- had been hot and dry and the man's throat was parched with thirst. This did not tend to lessen his ferocious aspect nor to soften the anger that glowed in his eyes. I t ’was all due to his visit that morning to the lit­ tle ranch a few miles behind, for there he lmd met with the first fail­ ure in his life, lie had proposed and been rejected. I t was not Bill Warren’s nature- to bo balked by anything, H(f usual­ ly carriedmatters his own way and with a high hand, as a result of which lie was looked lipon as a sort of local ‘‘bad man.” But thia cog­ nomen was applied to him only by people Who did not know Bill. In reality no better nor kinder natur- ed man than b.e fever rode into Tag­ gart. / • B u t' Sue Patterson wa& one of those who.were not intimately ac­ quainted with Warren, and this as­ sertiveness she’looked upon as some­ thing evil. Therefore, qlthongh otherwise she liked Warren hotter than any other of her admirers, she felt that .she was acting quite right when she rejected Ins offer of marriage. , All the consolation th a t she had given him in answer to his earnest pleading was tha t she would ,put him on an indefinite probation and if he came through'it! with Hying colors why—she would think about it. All of which Warren took too literally, and lie thought that she had spoken, thus only to soften her refusal. IIo became angry at the thought of it. “She don’t care nothin’ for me,” he muttered savagely, “an’ I know why. I t ’s all along of that sneakin’ coyote, Ralph Henderson. Been to Frisco an’ seen a few things an’ pomes out here to lord it over us. I know the brand. She’s plumb loco over the Cuss, loo, an? lie ain’t no man. NV J he finished' spitefully, “he ain’t no man,*’ He rode on across the desert in a sort of dulled consciousness, with h ir hat pulled well down over his eyes* At length, toward the middle of the afternoon, he came into the foothills. Before him lay the Too£b of Time, the largest mountain m that vicinity. Beyond it, ten miles to the westward* was- Taggart, This necessitated his taking tho trail tha t wound round the slope of the moun­ tain. This trail was hardly more than a well trodden footpath and was only wide enough to permit.a single rider upon it. One side of it sloped up at an angle of almost eighty degrees. Tile other formed the side of a precipice that dropped 200 feet to the sandy ravinc-hclow, ' As .lie rode over the trail, lost in thought, Warren was dead-to ex­ ternal sounds, He did not notice the fidgeting of his horse nor its frightened wliinnics. He had no in­ timation whatever tha t any one was approaching along the trail from the opposite direction. And yet not a hundred feet ahead of him a horse and rider were rounding the curve of the mountain. Neither noticed the other until they were fifty feet apart. Then by some strange in­ tuition both raised their heads. Rec­ ognition was mutual and instantane­ ous, for the man ahead of Warren was Ralph Henderson. The faces of both men paled with fear. Not in years had two men mot on that nSrrow trail, and it seemed some strange intervention of destiny tha t it should ho Warren and Henderson. While the face of the cattleman grow anxious, th a t of Henderson became quickly overshot with a crafty cunning. “Hello!” lie drawled pleasantly. “Hello!” muttered Warren nerv­ ously. “Well, what are wo going to do about it?” the city man continued, “I t looks as if voti’d have t> go hack.” “Not by a ------ sight!” snapped Warren. “There’s no turning about for either of us. We’ll have to man­ age to pass each oilier, The place seems pretty wide bore.” “Flip n coin for the inner side,” suggested the other, suddenly teach­ ing a hand into his pocket. “Right,” agreed Warren, “but let’s have ft look at it first.” Henderson’s face turned scarlet and he stayed his hand. “I declare, I ’m all out of coin,” he rat Fed sTiccpisldy. “Here’s an eagle,” replied War* Hn, with stm rtv h*f up! Ih-u4* I piu4 on the inside, tails I pass on the outside.” f Ho tossed the coin to Henderson ! as he spoke* who, pule faced and I hesitating, fumbled with it a mo-1 ment and let it jly up into the air w ith a twirl of a veteran trickster. I t fell down on the trail a t their feet, ringing out dear and cold. “Tail*!” cried lhe city man, over­ come with excitement. His face re­ sumed something of its natural color and the old craftiness stole into hie eyed. • .Warren accepted Iiis fate non­ chalantly* although he knew that it might mean death’for him. There was one thing about it, however, tha t galled him. He well knew that Henderson was on his way to ’•<? Patterson ranch, and i t came to .him aa a rather h itter thought tha t he might have to play the martyr and sacrifice his own life in order th a t the man could do so. But without a word ho pressed his pony’s ribs with his heels and rode forward. Henderson had drawn his horse as close as he could against the side of the mountain, hu t he seemed overtaken by. fi$ of nervousness, fpr the reins shook in his hands and the color came and went in his dark cheeks. The ledge where Warren would have to pass Henderson was some­ what wider than the rest of the trail, and he Tode, forward light hearted and confident that he would easily accomplish it. But ju s t as he brushed against the side of Hen­ derson, the latter suddenly drove his spurs with great force against Ms horse’s ribs. With a snort of terror the animal plunged madly forward,: dislodging the other horse and rider and sending them hurtling down and over the edge of the precipice. Then he went careening down the slope. The hryatli: went out of Warren as Soon as he felt himself fulling* and under the sickening sensation th a t ensued he lost consciousness. A stinging pain hi Ink leg finally awoke him. Bruslcd and bleeding, he now sat up and gazed about him. H e had landed in the branches of a tree that jutted out'from the slope of the mountain. Down below on the sand he coukl See fclio form of his horse, dead as a stone. The-first thing Warren did was to swear. Then he looked to liis leg. I t had been broken just below tho knee. As he started to wrap his handkerchief about it he heard a sound from'above.. Over the rira of tho precipice a bushy head Was peering. “Hello 1” it called. “Kin ye man­ age ef I send down a rope?” “Sure,” Warren yelled hack. A minute later the end of a lariat came whirling down through space. Warren caught it,,made i t fast about his body* and then, clinging to it with both hands ordered the man above to hoist away, A few mo­ menta later he crawled up over the ledge and lay panting for breath at • old Jem Patterson’s feet. “I seen the hull thing, Bill,” be­ gan, the latter aa he undid the rope abopt the man’s body, “Henderson will swing for this or H I shoot him on sight. I was cornin’ along a mite belrnd him an’ I seen him jab the buc-nskin and then scoot,” But War­ ren was unconscious before tho man finished speaking, and Patterson lifted him up on his pony after great difficulty and started down the trail for home. When Warren next regained con­ sciousness ho Was lying on a bed in a dimly lighted room. .Soft hands were bandaging lus head and sooth­ ing words fell from the lips of tbeir owner* Warren opened his eyes and took in the eituatiount a glance. “Sue,” lie demanded fiercely, “has th a t skunk been here ?” “Sh!” she murmured, touching a finger to liis lips, “He has not been here. Evidently he lias skipped the country. Father has told me all about it—the honorable way in which you acted and Henderson’s treachery. You have indeed behav­ ed splendidly.” “Sue!” cried the man eagerly, starting up. “Be quiet!” she admonished smil­ ingly. Then she added, “Your pro­ bation is over, and you have come through it nobly.” And then Warren claimed his own. At th* Biding School. “Mount your horse on the left side” . “Whv? What difference can that make?” “It’s the rule.” “But why should it be the rule?” “Because in the past horsemen wore swords. ’They wore them on the left hip: hence had they mount­ ed on the right side the sword would have got in the way, So they mount­ ed on the left, and we still mount on the left. Horses are accustomed to it, and if you try to get up from the right you are liable to be kick-* oft”- -Exchange. & ELASTIC ROOF PAINT for tin, motel, pfiper, f«H ttnd ruberoldJ-oof*, J a proof against th* woathtr or rust.
