0 Trespassers By Arthur Boltonwood Copunglit, 1904, bu T. C. McCIare a Baxter had followed the stream all the morning with indifferent success. Pour trout, by far too small to make matters at all interesting, had risen to the fly and now slid about in the creel as he made his way through the under brush to the open field, where the stream widened and deepened and gave promise of better sport At the edge of the field was a wire fence, and posted conspicuously upon it was the notice: THESE ARE PRIVATE GROUNDS. No Ashing allowed. Trespassers will be prosecuted to the full ex tent of the law. Baxter read the sign and grunted There was no one in sight, and the stream twisting through the field was decidedly tempting. Moreover, four small trout are very unsatisfactory in a creel made to accommodate more and "I'm a poacher too." larger fish. Baxter grinned ironically at the forbidding black letters on the fence and climbed over it Halfway down the field was a little clump of pines through which the Ftroam flowed. Baxter entered the shadows of th trees, and scarcely had he cast when his reel whirred merrily and the line cut the water sharply. His pulses quickened. Here was fish ing worth talking about. The line slackened, and he begun to reel in gently. At that moment the bushes behind him cracked, and a calm voiee said: i'anion me. nut have you a per mit'" Baxter gave no heed until lie had landed the trout: then he turned to find himself face to face with a youn woman. She was regarding him stead ily, with a little frown of disapproval. A creel hung from a broad strap across her shoulder, and she carried an un joined rod in a leather case. Baxter had momentarily forgotten the warning on the fence. Now her words rivalled it to his mind, lie was evidently caught redharvled at his poaching, and the only thing tJ do w;w to frankly admit. It. lie looked at the pirl before him. She ws tall, well formed and undeniably attractive. In deed she was quite striking as she stood there calmly awaiting his reply. "You have a permit, of course?"' she asked again. Baxter smiled quietly. "I regret to state," said he, "I am a deep dyed poacher." The girl lifted her brows. "You must have noticed the signs," she said. "I noticed one," said ho, "but the stream was too tempting to a man who had landed but four small trout during the morning. I am very sorry that my zeal got the letter of my discretion, and I offer every apology for my unwar ranted intrusion. Whatever the dam ages are I'll settle. I plead guilty." I "I should be inclined to follow the ! signs," she sai.l. "and prosecute you 'to the full extent of the law but for the way you just landed that trout. It was splendid and shows you t be an expe rienced angler. If you'd bungled it I should have let the law do its worst. If you promise not to trespass again you're quite free to go this time." Baxter bowed. "You are very generous," he de clared, "which makes me doubly ashamed of my trespass. Rest assured I shall not repeat the offense. May I ask to whom Tm indebted for allowing me to go unmolested?" Something in Lis eyes mR.de the girl flush. Pa-itWifg jtfl.rtgbtr ehg said haltingly, '"'isow please go at mice: Still Baxter hesitated. He was not given to pretty speeches nor to staring at young women whom chance threw in his way, but some indefinable charm about the girl made him do the latter and regret his inability to do the for mer. "I'm very grateful," he said lamely enough, "and and" "And what?" she said almost sharp ly. I d like very much," said he, "some time in toe future to express my grati tude to you when we stood on an equal footing that is, you understand, when I'm not poaching your stream." He spoke so earnestly that the girl flushed again. "It's all right," she reiterated. "You've been quite grateful enough. Now please go!" Baxter, trying vainly to think of some plausible excuse for prolonging the conversation, reeled up his line and began to unjolqt the rod. Suddenly a - inan came crashing through the bushes and stood before them. The gisl gave a little startled cry of dismay. Baxter noticed the man wore leather leggings and was clothed In tweeds. "'As the marster given you flshin permits?" he asked, glaring at Bax ter. "No," said Baxter, "but the lady" The man wheeled to the girl. " 'Ave you got one?" he asked. "N-no," she said humbly, and, with out looking at Baxter, she added, evi dently for his benefit "I'm I'm a poacher too." Baxter's heart Jumped at the words He mastered an overpowering desire to laugh and turned to the girl. "Well, by George!" was all he man aged to say. "It's the marster's order to take you to the house then," said the man sol emnly. "See . here" Baxter began protest ingly. "For , $2 apiece I'll Jet you go this lime," tne man saw insinuatingly. Baxter handed him a $5 bill, and, aft er warning them to leave at once, the man departed. As the man stumbled back through the bushes Baxter turned to the girl, Her face was scarlet and her eyes re fused to meet his. "It was frightfully mean of me," she explained. "I thought it would be a great Joke to frighten you off by pre tending I owned the stream and then fish it myself. Then that frightful man came and and to tell the truth, I should have been dragged to the house, for I hadn't a cent of money with me." She lifted her eyes to his. "Oh, what must you think of me!" she cried contritely. But Baxter was laughing happily. Kooftovelt Is Too Swift. Washington, June 19. It developed today that President Roopevelt's chauf feur was overhauled for ppeedingyester day afternoon while carrying the Presi dent, his son, Theodore, and two of the latter's friends along the conduit road to Great Falls. Two police en, con sidering that the chauffer was going at a speed greater than that allowed by law, gave chase and overhauled the automobile. When they learned who the occupants were they hastily with drew after the President had cautioned the chauffer to slow up a little. The two policemen had pursued the automobile for half a mile, and, on cntchiog np with it, charged the chauf feur with running at the rate of 25 miles an hoar when the police regulations permit but 15 miles an hour.
