He wheeled around, and Mora look ed up to aee a roughly dressed man climbing Into the rart and another cov ering Ingram with bla rlflo. Aa the hitter hesitated about obeying the or der the lttixrado repeated angrily: "Throw up your bands, you fool, or I'll shoot r Iteslstanre would be madness. In gram's hinds went up. Neither of the outlawa thought the girl worth their notice, and abe aat with the half eateu apple In her band appar ently etupofled, but bar mind waa busy. Hhe knew, though aha bad not been told, that the gold from the week'a clean up of the Osage mine waa In the cart. Usually It waa sent to Roma for ship- meut to the Han Francisco mint on the backs of mules, but toa etaga from Hoiua to Red (Julch bad been held op a few daya before, and, though tha sheriff and bla posse bad been out dally bunting them, the outlawa were atlll at large, and therefore It bad been deemed wise to aend the gold down In euch a earelesa manner aa to put tha robbera off the scent. The whole situation mirrored Itself In the young woman's brain. Mentally she aaw Ingram ruined, humiliated and disgraced, and all through bla love for her. For weeks alio had kept him In tiNitiifi aa to her feelings toward blm, and now by her coquotry aha bad ao engaged his attention aa to throw blm off his guxrd. Koftly she transferred the apple to her left hand, and her right band went quietly to tho side of her skirt, where nn old iKK-ket bulged out. For sis months the rlty girl bad been the guest of the engineer's wife, and each day alio hnd received a Iomoii from Ingrain In the art of shooting. Khe would not fall her preceptor In bis extremity. Hhe felt she muxt undo the harm abe had done. Tho ox-u air life In the mountains bad ateadlod her nerves, and sho felt wonderfully cool. Quickly and deftly she drew the weapon forth and sprang to her feet. The neit Instant a report broke the stillness, the outlaw's right arm drop ped to bla aide, and bla rifle fell with a crash. With a couple of bounda In gram waa upon blm, bad thrown blm to the ground and waa holding htm there with hla knees upon bla cheat Then he drew a atout cord from bla pocket and bound the man'a anna tightly to bla aldee. Hla confederate had carries? some of the gold Into the chaparral and waa back In tie cart getting the remainder when be beard the report. He lifted bla bead onlcklr. and a bullet, from Mora's pistol grated hla hair. Unde terred by the shot, be sprang from the tart to go to bla mate'a assistance, but before ho could reach the gun be had put down while ha waa collecting the gold Ingram had aelaed the wounded man'a rifle and covered the desperado with It. Then h ordered' the man to bring him a coll of rope he would find In the cart. The man sullenly obeyed, and aa the mine manenrr wi binding bla banda a about waa beard. "Hello, laejrtml . What are you up tor "Doing a little of your work, ahertff. I'm glad you chanced along. I hardly knew how to get theae fellows Into Hotna." "Tlwy're the very ntn we're alter Ited Dick and Bandy Hill.

"Mr. Ingram taught me all I know about the uae of this," holding up the pistol. "The credit of tke cap ture la duo to blm, my teacher and" with a quick look at Ingram which re warded htm for all alio bad made blm auffer-my future husband." "Lucky man," aald the gray haired staerlff, "to secure In one morning a brace of stage robbera, a cbanulog wife andM- "Red apples," aald Mora, with a re turn of ber mlaehlevoue playfuloeea.

"Ob serve the dainty little toea, the fainter murk which Indicate tho arch, tho slender grace of the whole." Among a confused masa of footprint this one stood out clear and distinct, and Duvemey waa kneeling on the sund enthuHlastli-ally remarking each beauty. "Cun t belong to one of the women at the chateau. Mme. la Com tense, nover; Mme. de Nevera bum hardly. Now, If tho little American girl bad arrived! But I believe abe come not until tomorrow," "And she Is from Chicago, the borne of moustroua jx-dal extremltlea," aald hla friend lightly. Duverney smiled. "True, It could not "be abe. Indeed, I doubt If tble la a woman'a foot at aM; more likely It belong to one of those children," Indicating a group of merry youngster playing at the weter'e edge. "Well, we bad boat be going on, too, or Merle will think us lost" Yet atlll be lingered. "It la a lovely foot" be declared. "That looks more aa tliongh It might belong to your Chicago divinity," Jeat ed t'batlllon, pointing to the reproduc tion of a square toed monstrosity. "The warm day must have tempted tho uyinpba to root their feet" re sponded Duverney. "Clel." For aa they turned the rocky projection of the little cove the two men found thera- selvea facing a girl, a slender, brown haired girl, who gated back at them with wide, startled cyee. Every trace of foot was carefully concealed by tho white linen skirt she wore, only a amall comer or forgotten silk stocking be traying that everything waa not In Its proper place. "Clel," niuttcn-d Duvcruey again, shocked Into a sudden sense of ber beauty. But the warning flash In the glrl'a eyea counseled prudence. She must be one of bla slater's guewta, ho reasoned awlftly. Thcu be would meet her later. It was tea time before he aaw ber again. Tho great ball of the chateau, "cloth ildi vi rr to tour with its tapeatrled walla, huge fire place of atone and eubdued Ilgtita fil tering through crimson lamp shadee. waa filled with gay voices and laugh ter, the bubbling of the tea urn add ing a note of bomellnesa and comfort For a second Duverney hesitated, then be e roased the ball and aauk Into a big chair by ber aide. She waa clad In a fluffy tea gown. She looked wry aweet and very young. "Mademoiselle will have tear asked Duverney laaily. "Not Nor cak? Bow aenalble!" Tbe girl ahnigged an Indifferent aboulder, but the man, catching the angry little sparkle In ber eyea, amlled to bltnaelf. "I tblnk we have met before," be be gan, conversationally.

Thanks." Duverney went to bla room that night aloluteIy bewitched. What a girl! By breakfast time bla plana were matured, but to tbe man's disappointment all bla suggestions were negatived. Hhe did not walk or golf or play Toquet. Du verney was putzled, and bla bewil derment waa deejened when, on arle Ing unusually early a morning or two later, he caught from bla window a glimpse of the girl coming briskly down tbe woodland path. Hhe did care for exercise sometimes, then. Waa it that abe did not wlah to be alone with blmt He would try to discover. Ac cordingly at breakfast be auggeated a ride on horseback. The girl hesitated, then yielded. Aa she ran to change Into her riding habit tbe man amlled a little to himself.

Instead of the amall patent leather boot be bad ex- Iciei, on bis band reeled a eboe. well enough made Indeed, but clumsy and euoriuous. Duverney bit hla lln. "You see I uphold the tradltiona of Chicago," laughed the girl, trying to brave It out But Duverney waa elient Aa she dressed for dinner that night the girl waa conscious of a vague die- Nutixfactlon. After all. ahe need not have worn quite such awful boota. Bhe hurried Into ber prettiest frock and daintiest sllppera. Tbe ball waa quite empty save for Duverney, who came forward, Lis pocket bulging oddly. "I -I've got to make a clean breast of It," be aald. "I knew that you were playing a trick on me this afternoon, that the big footprints on the sand must belong to the chlldren'e nurse. Because-look here," and with a aud den fluxb be produced from bla pocket the tiniest of pink allppera. "When when I said that I bad aeon you before I did not mean on tbe beach," he con fessed. "I meant a month ago at Dl nard. I bad to leave suddenly, but I contrived first to find out who you were and arrange to have Marie meet you. And and I bribed tbe chamber maid for this," shamefacedly. "Your your door was open one day, and I aaw It" "Whatr gnspc-d Miss Henderson, In whose mobile face varying emotions were contending. "Clotbilde gave It to you?
