"Now I mustn't act loo proud." lie put on his hat and pulled Jingo down to u dogtrot a lialf inllo beforo ho reached the Silver Star. This tavern was a far outpuat. of civilization, and shades were things unknown. Light streamed from every window, and the flood coming through (ho open door helped the moon display thn bunch of horBcn standing waiting, heads down, for their social owunrn. "Toxnn Uarrctt must bn smiling a mllo wide." thought 1'op; "that crowd1! lick up two knlgs of bug-julco easy.

A score of cattlemen leaned ngaiuat thn rudo pluo bar drinking amiably. Lee Duck, the Culncso waiter, was darting from bar to curd tables and back ngaln, Lis yellow face glistening witli the sweat of honest toll.

Upon the air lingered a promising scent of cakes recently halted and waiting to bo served with the orange pekoe, Thero was a llttlo ilir at the bay window as two or Ihreo ladles peered out suddenly nt boiiio object of Inter cut. Instantly every needle paused. What Is it?" asked Malviun Dales eagerly. Mrs. Cramp, who was holding back Iho curtain, looked at Malviun over her shoulder. "It's tho woman uixt door."

A shoul was rulsed and ovory one jostled forward Immediately. Thorn wero aliieoro congratulations from all sides. Those nearest tho proud father shook hands with him, while the bar keeper measured out tho lliior, and Lee Duck wiped glasses feverishly. "I'm sure free lo remark." said Squint Anderson, "that I'm mighty glad to hear II. I'op. That boy Dill o' youm la a mighty line JiiBtlcn of tho peace, judgln from this yore term he's Just about flnlshln'." "Vans." nftlrmed Cul Cornell, 'what I like about Dili Is that lie's plumb durable.

"Yo -up!" cheered the crowd, und opening their hardened throats as one man, they poured tho fiery Btuff down ami rattled tho glusses onto .tho bar with a unanimity that would have done a drlllmastcr proud. Fly Smith spun u big gold tiolti across tho planks to Texas. "Ouo mo ment gentlemen! Join me.!' Ho look ed nt Pop Demmlug with a Queer ex pression on his dark face, Demmlng looked steadily back; the look was prolonged. Tho barkeeper and tho Chinaman tilled the glasses again. Kv cry ono waited.

SIio'h been hero close lo a year and she hasn't made a friend yet, nor even a neighbor. Now, Iiiih she, Mrs. Korr?" Mrs. Kerr sighed. "It Isn't my fault. I declaro I never tried so hard to be nice to anybody In my life, and, as I told you, alio alwaya pays mo back by making mo mad. Nettle's a Mod nnnie for her. The Lord knew what Ho was at when Ho named her." From the dimmest cornor of the room cauio a Hweot voice: "You ki.ow Meredith saya this of the nettle: Disturb It, It stings, (rasp It firmly It stings nut.

"To the neu Justice of the peace of San Felipe, gentlemen!" Again the glaascs were raised; drained; rattled down. "Hut bo won't bo Dill Demmlng!" add ed Fly Smith, In an offeffiiBlvo lone. Demmlng, senior, stiffened and in stantly demanded. "Why won't he be?" "Uecauso he's going to change his mind about running after ho hears from me." "What'll you tell him; all about your trade?" This was dangorous ground for any man to set foot on, Tor Fly Smith was a professional card player, notably quick-tempered and quicker with u gun. "I'll remind him that he's loo Imme diate about noBlng Into other folks' affairs. Vo want a Justice whal a Justice, and no sniveling reformer not gamo enough lo turn a card himself." The old man mudo a quirk reach for deadly means to resent this, und there, wus an Instant of silent, breathless hush. Then every ono saw that Fly had Pop covered from the hip, and Poll's hand dropped away too late. Tho gambler grinned sardonically. "Beautiful tableau, folks, great! What's It nil about? Pop, arc you and Fly Smith dlHputaling on tho holy miracles ag'ln?"

"Co ahead and grasp your nettle, 01 gn," sho said ironically. "I'd rather seo It done than do It myself. We'll nil look on and cheer you if you succeed. Ami If you don't- " "We'll use our embroidery needles lu pick the pines out of your poor lit tle hands," said Mrs. Cramp, who wan Olga's aunt. Olga Kent was tho youngest mem ber of tho club and not long married. Itomanco was still nil rndlance for hor and she pitied overy creature who was not as happy as herself. Sho them fore pitied Mrs. Nettle. "I'll toll you, Olga," said Mrs. Kirr, half tenderly, half lightly, "you sco what you can do for Mrs. Nettle and next time wa meet you can tell us how you camo out. We've all tried our ways and been stung bad. They say everybody's got a soft spot somewhere, and maybe she's got one. Maybo you can Hud II. You tell us next time wo meet, romembor." And uo the subject shifted. Two weeks followed two weekn of In The Envelope "Thut'H why 'Jim' wears threadbare coats and bhuhby hats, while you sport silk stockings ami swell milli nery." muttered the neighbor on Iho lop lloor. who happened out In her hall Just then. I'licoiiBcloiiH of this neighborly comment. Klslo looked admiringly at her new friend ami determined to have gold brads llko (hope round her plump neck. Klslo received (lie grocer's young man with u little air of Importance. was an agreeable youth who set forth the value of his wares llki a fairy tale. Klslo laid lu a good sup ply, home things among them she would almost never use, but they would keep, ho assured her. When tho butcher's man came, she realized her Ignorauoo of the different cuts, but ho had such handsome eyes sho readily believed his promise to so led a flue piece for her. Ho kepi his Problem while you hubtlc tho things m it and wo will bo off." livery trolley was crowded, fur ev erybody, whs going to the beaches. Hailing a wharf car, tho ouly arat available was between iwo men nnd two young women.

"Puffcc'ly so," ugrecd his father, ptilllng'out a plug of tobacco and lean ing against the bar. Fly Smith raised his voice. "Say. Illll, let mo tell you that your health will be a heap belter out of office than In. Don't run again, 'cause a second term for you would bo like a rolapse o' yellow fover, see?" He scowled sig nificantly at tho Justice of tho peace, who was some six Inches aborted than himself, and turned without waiting for n reply lo tho card table, ami two minutes later was deep In a gamu with umiio swaggering cowpuuehers. The Justice or the poaeo took even this In good part, cut short all pro tests from his more Impetuous friends, and turned lo receive the pledges of support offered him under cover of the gonoral hum. -Pronto drew him aside. "Y'know Dill, Fly Smith Is n-layln for you; lie's suro flgurln' on ovuporatln' you out of this yore country plumb entire. He's got Peto Sepulveda to ruu against you. and If you win It's ten dead gophers against u stack of ehlps he'll elthor crease you or git you creased. Dill, I tell yor he's hostile." Tho Juallco laughed. "Oh. you kin haw-haw and show tho llnln' of yore gullet to the public gaze, but I'm urialu' for lo say I'd a heap drather have you buying me drinks than mo buying posies for yore lonely grave" Hill laughed again. "Laugh, dorn you; 1 reckon you don't know that Justices who'vo show ed themselves too all-flrcd strong .on Justice have had Irons pulled on 'cm aforo now!" "Pronto'B dead right," said Cal, "and we don't need Pete Sepulveda, nohow. Let him be 'lected this term. Dill, und maybo somnbody'll kill him." "noys, I ain't here soliciting no storm and such cold that it took a bravo heart to venture far from one's own warm fireside. Tho Kmbroldcry Club met a Mrs. Potcr Fllbury's. The weather hud cleared und Mrs. Kerr, feeling liko i bird set frce,.was' tho llfth member to arrive, Olga Kent camo last of all, looking very pretty In n blue dross with n hot house rose In her wldo girdle. "Jim my gave me a dozen yesterday," she explained, shyly. "You sec, It was our llrst imnlvorBary." "J toll her to wait till she's been married thirty years Iho way I have," remarked Mrs. Cramp. "My lost an niversary Tom brought me home two rounds of porterhouse and ordeivd It cooked for Ills supper." Everybody laughed a moment and when It wns over Olga said: "Well, first anniversaries only como onco and mine wns a porfcctly beautiful one. Aunt Lot over there gave mo that pulr of towols she's been embroldorln;; I never dreamed they were for mo-and I'nclo Tom guvo mo n flvc-dollur gold piece, and Mrs..

Ho explained Hint ouo could not gel a good cut of steak, for Instance, unless ouo took a generous slice, If sho mentioned tho cheaper cuts, he assured hor they were nioro ex pensive in tho end. Mrs. Darues told her about another order man who hud been unjustly dis missed by his employer and was w Hik ing up an Independent order route. Sho would liko Hlalc to help him a lit tle. Klsle, glowing with generosity, patronized tho new man. This gave her n number of callers; Jho two gio cery men, the meat man, and the Italnn who sold her fruit.

So long, Fly, ace you 'lection day." They went out and got their liurtoH, Illll calling over his shoulder, "Re member now. Fly, 'lecllon day." "Son. I reckon you'd belter not run again! don't 'pear noways oi.fe; Fly Smith and Pete Sepulveda are a bad pair to buck. You know Fly Smith's been Intendln' lo let daylight lulu you for some time pnst; 'pears that he's nboul got hlu shotgun nice ly sawed off. ready." Dill rolled himself a cigarette. Presently his father tried npiln. "Just becauHC. compared to the fcellu's you gol for Fly Smith, you Jual love rattlesnakes and horny toads, ain't no good sign you got to pull tho muslacho off'n your luck, Is II?" "Pop, I'm a-goln' to run! You kin cut my lalgs off ami I'll run on my hands. That crooked gambler can't scare me. Dut I'm a heap sorry to go ag'ln you, Pop, I sure am." Demmlng frowned in order to con cenl the proud smile on his face, and swore horribly to keep Hie tremor out of his voice. "Utlly, I ain't loo old to larrup you good, and I will, too, when ever you need II." Which ended all talk of Hill's leaving tho race. Nothing happened until the morn ing beforo olectlon day. when Fly Smith sent word to Dill that he must withdraw In favor of tho other candi date, and that If ho did not and should bo elected, that he, Fly Smith, would personally como lo kill him the next day at S a. m. "Hats!" Bitld Illll Demmlng. turning to Pronto and Cal. "I might have been scared If he'd said noon hut 8 In the morning! Why, ho won't bo out of bed by then; ho never Is." F.leetlon day dawned with Dill mill piece of old silver you over saw, a pitcher in ropnubso work." It was Miss JczHUp who Interrupted. "Then you did grasp tho ncttlo utter all?" r "Yes, nnd sec!" Olga hcld'tip her pretty bauds triumphantly. "You promised to tell us" urged Miss Jessup. "Oh, I am going to," Olga replied. "Thero Isn't much to tell. I went to see her and found her with a sick headache. She lay on tho couch in the sitting room and she said to mo when I entered: 'I wouldn't have naked you in only I thougut it was thn grocer's boy when I heard you knock.' I laughed. 'Now, aren't jou glad It wasn't tho grocer's boy?' I mild. 'You've got a sick headache, havon't you? Aunt lAit has It-und I always euro her. I'm going to euro you.' I took off my things. Mint I don't want you to stuy,' sho said. 'I'm better alone.' I never answered, but went right to work getting black coffee ready and making a mustard platter for thn back of hor neck. Sho wus hor ribly sick, or I- think she'd havo put me out of (he bullae.

"1 puld tho fruit man and some on Johnson's bill and thcii then there wasn't any left for Osgood or Carson," sho faltered. "You don't mean to tell mo you are tunning bills ut all these places!" Klslo begun to cry. "I didn't think you'd bo menu," she walled. "I'm not mean," Oeorgo replied, much hurt. "I thought you under stood thut my salary must do im for each month; I havo no other income, You knew this when you married me. Klsie." EE 1'oor Marie, leaulng over Mr. Avulr dupols. fairly screamed to Mr. Dopey, "Please don't that Is my bag!" Dut too late. She now thought horself minus both husband und bug, for she did not know thut Kdgar was aboard and sho had seen Miss Second catch the bag on tho fly, "Why. Kdgar, where did you come from? That was our bag." "No, Marie, that suit case belonged to that youug lady; It was not ours' "nut Kdgar, this man gavo our bag to tho second lady whin sho got uiu" "Ob!" Clang, clang, next corner "Lome, Kdgar. we must get off to Intucl. There wub a record votu polled. Kvcry man for miles around 'rode in, partly because tho Justice was exceed ingly popular, and partly beeaimo Fly Smith's extreme dislike for him and his own habit of doing preelaoly ua ho threatened were known far unit wide. The event promised lo bo lively, und every last man of mem wuh uufflcU al ly Itoman to relish Iho Idea of uucli a holiday. Tho Btrange abaeuco of Fly Smith from the voting booth; from Mi.ln Htrcul, whore ho una wont to awnger; from Hie Silver Star; from Mis. Clears' boarding house, ami from thn face of the earth, ho far an any ono could dlacover, became the mikiohs Ing theme about tho middle of thn afl enioon, when It was evident that Dill Demmlng wan onco more elected. Evening came, but no Fly Smith. The votes were counted In Iho Silver hlnr, and Dill declared winner. The event was lltlltigly celebrated, and along about midnight, Hill started for homo. As ho rodo by Pronto Ding's rti'iel' he henrd peculiar sounds of distress, He trailed them; found their unuetial source, mid with a about, swung round and spurred back to tho Silver Star mi fatit ns hu could urge his horse. When he got there ho demand ed a ropo and help. Ilolli being Im mediately forthcoming, he galloped back, his assistant)! cluttering after. The Justice led Iho way to the well. A faint olce. far bolow, began to groan and then to pray; "Oh oo, Lord! You know me; I don't ask many favoni of you! Perforin a miracle and take mo out of this ycro well, and I'll bo cursed ir I over both er you again! '. .!" They could hear teeth chattering ami then anoth er groan. Dill leaned over tho well. "lpy, Fly, Is that you down thero?" "Yen, It sure II, consaru you! Cot mo out of here. Dill!" I hud getting her to uso my remedies: Dut I succeeded and presently sho be gan to fool bettor. Then I sal on tho lloor bealdo her couch and bathed her forehead and eycH wllh cold water. M wish you'd go nwuy,' sho Hnld. 'I don't want you. I don't want anybody. I halo ovory one. I halo myself.' And then sho began to cry, I let her cry. nnd when sho'd quieted down I said to her: 'I wish you'd loll nin why you feel llko that. Thero must bo somn reason, for I'm suro that you must havo loved somebody and somebody must havo loved you.' Then I began lo tell her about myuelf und Jimmy, Just prattling, na Aunt Lot would say. and pretty soon sho began to talk about herseir. Oh, IuiIIoh!" Olga looked nround with nor wnn eyes full or tears. "It wuh so pitiful. She had been a happy woman, u loved woman, Just ns 1 thought.
