SMITH IS FINED.
Plead Guilty to Permitting Minors
to Visit Pool Room.
H. H. Smith, who operates a pool
room on Main street, near Fifth, was
urrestod Tuesday on the charge of
permitting minors to frequent his
place and play the gnme, which Is
contrary to law. He plead guilty to
the charge but said that the young
mnn In question George Dlllman
ad represented himself as of age.
The case was tried before Recorder
Dimlck, who assessed a fine of $10
gainst Smith, which was paid. He
also sentenced Dlllman to a jail term
of ten days, but suspended the sen
tence during good behavior. The Re
corder says the charge was made that
Young Dlllman spent much of his
time and all his money In Smith's
place, and that the young man's
friends wished something done In the
mutter to break up the practice.

Mr. Sanders had a three-year-old
colt, which the girls hnd broken to
drive thnt winter. They had had
many n lively tussle with It before It

follow the glrla around like a big dog.
Gladys always Insisted that Mollie,

could not bo Induced to ride behind
her, and she 'held her breath every
time the girls drove out of the ynrd

After the dinner dishes were washed
and put nway the girls hitched Mollle
to the old fashioned square box cutter
nnd drove over to Penrsou's.

"We're ever bo much obliged," said
Mabel. "We'd better be going home,
hadn't we?" she added, turning to
Gladys.
'Come In and get warm first," said
Mr. Pearson. "Jeff 'II bring yonr horse

Jeffs few moments was uearly bnlf
an hour, and it was almost dark when
he drove Mollle up to the door.
'Here's a few books you may be In

started to leave. "Most of the folks
around here don't think much of book
farming, but Just as like as not they
may be mistaken." He chuckled to
himself as he closed the door.

Mrs. Sanders met the girls with n
white face as they turned Into the
yard.
Your father Is hurt awfully!" she
cried. "lie cut his foot while he was
chopping wood, nud I can't seem to

breath with n frightened sob.
Did you phone for the doctor?" ask
ed Mabel as she sprang to the ground.
"Something's the matter with the
line," her mother answered. "I can't
get any one."
Cindy gnthered up the reins And
quickly turned Mollle around.
"You can't drive that colt to town
In the dark:" cried her mother. "You
go with her, M nbel."
"I'm not afraid, uiommle," spoke op
Gladys. "You need Mabel more than
I do. Come on, Mollie!"
It wa six- mile to Ilrlghton, the
nearest place where die could get a
doctor, mid Gladys well knew that
there wa no tlmo to lone. If the

ward and spoke coaxlngly to Mollle.
The little mure seemed to realize that
something wn wrong and swung Into
s stride that made Gladys' heart awell
with pride.
The feneeiost ped by In a long
Jumbled procession. Juxt risible In the

ber eye fixed on Hie strip of white
road abend. Just over the end of It
the north star shone brightly. Gladys
rcmenilicred the old story about Hie

whimsically wondered If this star was
not there to lead her. On and on they
iped. Mollle never varying from thai
long, steady stride that covered the
ground so quickly snd easily.
One, two, three. four miles, and
still the little mare showed no sign
of slackening her pace. There wa
no wind nothing but stars and snow
and that long, never ending stretch of
white road. It wa glorious, this night
ride, or would have been If It were
not so grimly necessary.
"Can't you go Just a little faster.
Molilc?' Cindy whispered.
Mollle gave a leap forward. It al
most seemed a If they were flying, so
little noise did the mare's swift hoof
beau make on the snowy road.
Suddenly she gave a leap sideways.
There was a crash a one of the run
ners struck a stone that some one had
carelessly lost from hi load that after
noon, and Gladys dived headlong into
the soft snow st the roadside.
CHAPTER II.
G
LADY3 picked herself up and
shook the snow out of her
eyes. The soft snow had
broken her fall and kept her
from getting hurt. She looked around
for Mollle and saw her standing in a
drift up to ber knee a little ways
down the road, with nothing left of the
cutter but the thills. . In a moment
Gladys had waded through the snow
to the mare and was loosening the
thill straps. As soon as the thills were
unfastened she leaped to Mollie' back
snd headed her again toward town
and the doctor.
Mollie was much better ns a driver
than as a rider, and Gladys found rid
ing her without a saddle bird. Joltins
work. But she set ber teeth and held
grimly to the little mare's mane, urg
Ing ber to a still faster gait.
She was almost to the town now and
could see the light in the doctor's big
bouse on the corner. In another mo
ment she was at the door. Giving
Mollie' reins a twist around the post,
she ran up the steps and rang the
doorbell.
The doctor's wife opened the door.
"The doctor?" she said in reply to
Gladys' breathless question. "I'm sor
ry, but be started to Keusett just
about ten minutes ago."
Gladys started back as if she had
been struck. The doctor's wife sprang
forward and caught her. "Why. my
girl." she cried, "you're all tired out.
Come in and get warm."
Gladys shook her bead. "I I must
catch the doctor' she gasped. "Has j
be a saddle 1 can take?"
The doctor's wife, quickly realizing
that this was no ordinary call, pointed
toward the barn and hurried Into the
bouse after the lantern. It was but
a moment's work to throw off the
harness and replace it with the sad
die. Gladys hesitated an Instant and
then reached for the doctor's riding
whip. She was so stiff that she could
hardly swing into the saddle, but she
smiled bravely back at the good doc
tor's wife. as she turned away Into
the darkness.
Keusett was directly west, and her
own home was straight south. If she
could catch the doctor soon enough
be might still be able to get there in
time. But what chance did a weary
colt ridden by a still wearier girl have
of overtaking a fresh team of bron
chos? Uladys leaned forward and
spoke caressingly to Mollle. The little
mare sprang nimbly forward, but
Gladys felt rather than saw that she
was uot running as easily as at first
Minute after minute passed and still
the mare held piucklly to her pace. At
last after what seemed hours of bard
riding Gladys beard the tinkle of sleigh-
bells ahead. She knew the time had
come for the linnl spurt She raised
her whip to strike the struggling mare.
but threw It in the snow instead.
"Mollle!" she cried, lenniug forward.
Go, Mollle. go just for a few mo
ments more!
Mollle gave a snort that was almost
a groau and struck a slightly faster
pace. Louder and louder sounded the
bells, and soon Gladys could see the
sleigh as a black speck ahead.
Then she culled with all her might.
and the sound of the bells stopied
abruptly. In a moment Bhe was be
side the doctor's cutter and lu a few
gasping sentences told her story.
"Ride up to the Greys' and have
them put that colt In the barn' and
give her n good rubbing down," the
doctor ordered. "She's done a great
night's work tonight. And tell Mrs.
Grey to give you some hot coffee and
put you to bed!" lie shouted the last
words back over his shoulder as be
turned quickly around und commenced
his part of the race with life nud
death.
That climb up the hill to the Greys'
seemed harder to both Mollie and
Gladys than all the rest together. Mr.
Grey lifted the exhausted girl from
the saddle and led the steaming mare
away to the barn, while his wife put
Gladys In the big chair back of the
stove and set the old granite coffeepot
on to boll.
At borne Mrs. Sunders nnd Mubel
watched und waited anxiously. Mr.
Sanders moaned und tossed lu a fever
ish delirium. The towel which they
bad twisted tightly around his leg had
failed to stop the bleeding entirely,
and the faces of the silent watchers
grew white with fear us they saw the
blood slowly oozing from the tightened
buudagi-ti.
The patient grew weaker and more
ielirious as the hours passed. Mra.
Sanders ran to the window every min-
Bte or so to peer out Into the darkness.
"Ho ought to be coming!" she cried
tyntcrlrnlly. "Oh, what If anything
baa happened to Cindy a?"
Mabel tried to comfort her, but with
little success. At last they beard tbo
Jingle of alelghhellB, and almost be
fore they bad time to look the big
doctor himself wa at the door.
"I wonder If you can put my team
In." he said to .Miilxi a be threw off
hla coat and stepped over to where the
Injured man lay.
Mabel ran to put away the bronchos
and then came baek and stood holding
ber mother's hnnd while the doctor
worked. Nomehottv his masterful pre

'There," he said at last, straighten
ing up. "He'll be all right now as
soon a the fever goes down. We'll
have blm on hi feet again I i u week.
It wasn't a moment too nooii. i hough,"
be added. "1 want to tell you Mr.
Sander, that you have a daughter
to be proud of. She snved ber
father's life tonight." And he pro
ceeded to tell the story of a much
of that lonely night ride a be knew.
When Gladys came down to break
fast the next morning an unwonted
pallor on her cheek was the only visi
ble effect of ber hard night ride. She
stopped In surprise a she entered the
dining room door. A tall, handsome
youth, with the self assured smile of
one who ha supreme confidence In his
own ability to do and say the right
thing at the right time, enme forward
with a low bow.
"Harold Dn Val!" cried Gladys.
"What are you doing out here?"
Harold held out his hnnd with a
smile. "1 might ask yon the same
question, only I happen to know al
ready." he replied. "You're s brave
girl, Gladys."
"You haven't answered my question
yet." persisted Gladys, the color
heightening In her cheeks.
"Oh. that's easy. Didn't yon know
Mr. Gray was my uncle? I've been
sick, and the folks sent me out ber to
recuperate."
The announcement of breakfast cut
short further conversation. After the
meal was finished Harold insisted on
bitching np nnd taking Gladys home.
"I thonght you were sick," she said.
"I can ride Mollle Just as well as not."
"I'm not sick enough to let the girl
wbo nsed to work most of my prob
lems for me ride eight miles on horse
back." he replied as be put on bis
overcoat and started for the barn.
"What have you been doing since
you left high school?" asked Gladyi
when they were on their way.
Harold winced a little at the tone of
her question. "Ob. nothing mnch,"
he answered. "Father wants me to
go to college, but I dou't like to study
well enough."
"What are yon going to do?" Cladys
went on. "Yon surely don't mean to
go on doing nothing all your life."
"Why not?" Inquired Harold as he
tilted bis hat a little to one side. "I'm
having a pretty good time as It Is."
"Is that all the ambition yon have
Just to have a good time?" A dis
appointed surprise shone in Gladys
honest brown eyes.
"Oh. come now." Harold answered
lightly. "This hi getting too serious.
Let's talk about something else your
self, for Instance."
"There isn't anything to say on that
subject, only oh. I wonder how dad-

dy is. If Jou don't stop talking and
drive faster I shall have to get out
and ride Mollle."
Thus admonished. Harold gave the
horse a sharp slap with the reins and
during the remainder of the ride de
voted bis attention entirely to his driv
ing.
Gladys found ber father lying prop
ped up lu bed, conscious, but very
weak from loss of blood. He clasped
her baud tightly and called her his
brave girl, and she blushed and said
she hadn't done anything, but for all
that they seemed to understand ono
another better from that time on than
they had ever done before.
Mr. Sanders was able to be around
with the aid of a crutch In a few
days, but It was a long time before his
foot was entirely well.
The weather turned cold for several
weeks after this, but when it did final
ly warm up the girls started out to
prune their apple trees. They hnd
only one saw, and that was far from
sharp, but they took turns sawing
and piling brush. It was bard work.
but they kept resolutely at It nnd
made good progress. One day Gladys
was working alone down near the
road when Jeff Tearson drove up to
the fence.
Hello. Gladys!" he called, a little
diffidently, as be Jumped to the ground
and tied his horse to a post. "Don't
you want some help?"
Oh, I'm getting along very nicely,"
replied Gladys, sawing away vigor
ously.
Jeff came over and stood beneath
the tree where she was at work.
Isn't that pretty bard work?" be
asked.
"Well, a little," she confessed. "But
we ve trimmed twenty-five already,
and there's only ten more to do."
Let me do that while you rest,"
persisted Jeff, seizing a limb and pull
ing himself up Into the tree.
Well, since you want to so badly, I
suppose I'll hnve to let you," Gladys
