BUe wa born and brought up-a far as forty years-iu New England, whore birth itatlstlc prove that there are not enough men to go around. This fact may have ac counted for the "Mla" which lingered before nor name, because with her suuny eye and girlish mouth (he was a comely woman, as the men of Camp Klrwlu agreed and a twelve sprawl ing red line on the log opposite her place at table Indicated. "Such a boy a that Alfred Is!" she thought, half amused and half vexed a her nephew mischievously chalked In Hue after Itne, more or les crook ed, to represent tbe character of her numerous suitor. "There' ouly one man In camp that'll get a straight mark." Alfred remarked a be drew the twelfth, "aud If I have to make one for hlin," significantly, "I hope It'll be tbo last He referred to the owner of a eoll tary cabin on Ppar Just above timber lino. Miss Lorllln, pausing now In her tatttu' milking, raised her eyes to It speculatively. The cabin wa evident ly deserted. The stovepipe, protruding through the roof, had emitted no smoke for several day. Mis Lovllln knew) because she bad glanced In Its direction far oftener than she cared to admit' "I wonder where he Is," sbo thought scanning; tbe mountain slopes behind her. Suddenly he turned and bent over her work while a faint pluk crept Into her cheeks. On the trail across Brown rode a mun, followed by a pack horse. It was Peters tuo Unlucky, christened Robert tome forty odd years before and nam ed Unlucky for various legitimate rea sons; he bad mado more good "finds" than any other man this sldo tbe di vide and held tbo fewest. It was ho who discovered tho rich leads of Dun dee, only to have hi claim Jumped by Dutch 3o. Ho had staked Sniffle, but failed to work out hi assessment ow ing to the fact there seemed to be no one elso to care for Stiandy Ixng when he was stabbed in tbe saloon on tbo Meadow. Alfred expounded the situation con cernlng Unlucky to bis aunt in hln usual lucid manner shortly after her arrival. "Unlucky probably won't die overcambered with gold, but he'll die on tho square, yon bet!" And bis suut had responded sympotbetlcally, "He's Just making the best of things, nln't he?" Across the pommel of hi Raddle bo bore an Immense bouquet of. gay mountain flowers wblcb be intended for Miss Lovllln, but which ho did not offer directly, for Unlucky numbered "BAY I MABBY MIT MB, HEIN?" UK FI XAXTA ItUlISI Ol'T. self consciousness among bis misfor tunes. Ho left his horses on the trail and came to tbe doorstone, hat lu band. "Good morning, Miss Scanlon," he ald, raising bis eyes In a quick flash to hers so quick that he did not see tbe unusual flush in her cheeks. "Good morning, Mr., Peters," she re turned, conscientiously repressing' the cordiality she felt. Hesitatingly the man sat down and nursed hi bouquet on bis knee. lie wanted to tell Miss Lovllla ail about his new claim over on Meadow creek, but what be actually said was, "Fair day today." Miss Lovllla, longing to hear all that be wished to tell, answered staidly, "Yes, fair, but warmish." Then a silence fell. Unlncky stared flztdly at tBa stems he was twisting, trat the woman made quick side obser vations a she plied her shuttle ' Ilia was a .face that jmy woman mlsrht view with nut iBfnel Ion, ut handsome, but clear cut, with Ulnd, steady eyes nd strong white teeth which camo to gether evenly behind straight tlrm Hps. Presently ho glanced up at tho mouth of a tunnel vn the mountain behind thorn. "Has Alf struck good ore yet V be asked. "Ho tolls mo he's taking out pretty fair toue; but, good graelou"-Mlu Lovllln lata her shuttle lu her lap fltvil spoko . with pleasing l)rlsktieH--"the stuff in It that shine like gold nln't gold at U, Just eoppor, he soys, nnd 1 don't believe If worth digging fori . , ' , Willi tig SfSIflVt ' n but then, he's making the Iwst of It, 1 Ul(J ntconl t M crw,k y-thcr op iido and"' watched "for the appearance of a brown hut on the canyon trnn.

"Alfred, Alfred!" If any barm should couw to Unlucky through ber. "I ihnll Just hnv to make the best of It alone," she cried aloud a the only, reply to ber call was a duU boom of a blast lu the tunnel above. Across the footbrhlgo and through the willow she hurried, her breath coining faster and faster a she began gues. Unlucky looked ot her with a mll to which bl face wa almost a stran ger. Then It died away Into au expres sion of thoiightfulnes. "Sometimes, MIns Scanlon, I wonder If this sort of life Is best for any of us follow. There' your nephew." The tuou hes itated aud gazed wistfully acres tbo canyon at his own little ihack. "He might better be trallln' a good home somewhere back east-end a wlfe" Unlucky came to an abrupt Hop and twisted the stem of the flower, but thero wn nu expression In bl eyes that deeHned the pink In Mis Lovll la's cheeks and caused ber to glauce beyond him. Immediately ber attention wa ar rested by a mau'i head among tho wil lows nero tho river. Tho head wore a brown hat aud wa moving toward the npper ford. Rlie frowned a she rcco&uU'd Dutch Jo, who kept a sa loon on tho Meadow. Uulucky' Klniico also followed the progress of tho brown bat, and wbeu its wearer bad forded tho stream and turned to ward thorn be arose, quietly laid the flowers on the stone nnd, with a brief "Good day, Miss Bcnnlon," departed. Mis Lovllla glued her eyes on her work, apparently oblivious of tbe pres ence of tbo horseman until he bad dis mounted some dlstuuce away, bis broncho refusing to approach so un accustomed on object a a woman, and greeted ber with a "Out day, Mee Scanlon." Then she arose aud laid ber work in her chair. "Good morning, Mr. Bonier. Yon want to see my nephew, I pre ume." Her voice savored ouly of business. "Neln." Dutch Jo covered her with a covetous allwlt respectful ay and abstractedly Angered the handle of bl six tbootcr, wblcb he could manage with more dexterity than he could the English language. "Bay I Marry mlt mo, helnT he finally burst out Instinctively Miss Lovllla shrank back and glanced at the flowers. "Ob, no," sbo cried hurriedly. "I couldn't posslbly.". The man wasted no further speech, but stepping deliberately on tbe bou quet, ground it beneath his heel, mounted his horse and rode off, leav ing an Indignant woman nursing tbe trampled blossoms. Tbe clock striking 11 aroused her to a sense of hor bouse bold duties, and when her nephew en tered the lean-to kitchen she wa her busy, sereno self again, "I declare, Aunt L,p," he exclaimed merrily, "you are getting nicer every day. I don't wonder tbe boy all want to marry you." A half bashful smile touched bl nunf Hp. "Pshaw, Alf. It's because I'm tbe only woman here. Now, if Abigail nnd Sallna weren't married and were here you'd ee" Alfred removed the towel from hi face and Interrupted solemnly. "Aunt Lo, when Gabriel come down with hi trumpet 1 expect to bear you tell him that If there happen to be a sent left after Abigail and Batlna have been ushered to the front pew, why, you'll tnko it, please, and make the best of It". "Alf!" Mis Lovllla remonstrated. Nevertheless she looked pleased. Praise had not como her way back in New Enjrlond. "And I'm lookln' to Gube to say," Al fred continued, "that he' reserved a box seat for the best and sweetest and most unselfish little woman oh earth. Now, Aunt Lo, don't be shocked, but toll mo what poor unfortunflto struck the matrimonial trail today. You look ed guilty when I enme In, Wioso borso was It I aw at tbe door?" "Tbat-thnt .Dutchman' from the Meadows," returned Miss Lovllla in a tone savoring of the snap of a whip. . Alfred threw his bead back nnd roar ed. "Dutch Jo!" Still laughing, he entered tbe living room,' raising bis voice as he continued. "By Jovel He' tho thirteenth too.. That' unlucky for himself or some one else. His mark can't be too crooked either, for if there's a man this Ide of Meeteetse without a conscience" The closing kitchen door hut out tbe rest of the sentence. Sniffle wn tftrowlng a long shadow eastward that afternoon before Mis Lovllla sat agnln In the doorway With her tatlln' and greeted the tray pros pectors os they struck the trail ocross Crown. It was Kllbrald of Meeteetse that finally brought a look of alarm to her eyed nnd sent ber gaze learchlngly down the canyon. "Dutch Jo come up behind me flffbt- In' drunk," said Kllbrald, laughing. 'swcarlu' like a pirate and hittln' out with his quirt at every flower he pas ed. It's a right good plan to be on Jo's best sldo such times a this," Miss Lovllla glanced behind ber et the ominously crooked thirteenth lino nnd shivered when ber Informant had rnLicnoe. .IbfU-Uhe laid. h tflttlo1 tho trail sounded Unlucky' whistle, while dowu among the willow echoed the sharp click of a horse's hoof. "If I'm only In time to warn html" he whispered, but the was not Near er and' nearer came the tound of the horse's hoofs. Dutch' Jo, fighting drunk, wo gaining ou ber. Tbe next turn lo the trsll would bring Ulm Into view. "I've got to stop him," gasped Miss Lovllla, trembling, but resolute. Now, whatever Dutch Jo' original expoctittlon had been In coming up to camp armed and whisky brave, lie cer tainly did not expect to be bold up by any such nonshootable object as a woman. Neither did bis borse, which promptly norted and backed, skirts having greater terrors for It than spurs, "! "Bbrand out of the way!" vociferated Dutch Jo, llsteulng to tho whistle. "I shan't do any ucu a thing!" re torted Mis lovllln. occupying tbe mid dle of tho trail and gathering up her apron through force of habit Dutch Jo drove tho spurs deeper and mcuaccd the opposition with his quirt "Will you no sbtsnd out of my way, belnr he urged, his face purpling with anger. "No, I won't." declared Mis Lovllla. Tho npproachlug wblntlo rendered ber desperate. Hbo advanced precipitately Into tho pony' fc. wiving her apron frantically. "Shoor she cried. "Go back with yon r That settled the matter. Uuceremo ulously the broncho showed a pair of Iron shod heels to the up trail and de parted Meadow ward, with tbe bit in bis toetb, leaving Miss Lovllla "all trembly." "Sultna always said 1 was a bigger baby than either of hers," she qua vered and proceeded to demonstrate the fact by plumping herself down on thi nearest log and weeping into the am pie folds of her apron. Here an Instant later Uulucky stood 0 helpless In-foro ber tear a Dutch Jo had been before ber unexpected on. tluught Mis Scanlon, wbafi the matter?" be Implored. "I don't kuow," come in faltering untruthfulness from behind tho apron. This weeping over, ho knew not what was the most bewllderliig propo sition Unlucky hod ever met with. "Ila anythlng-bnve you-hurt your self?" be nsked. bendlug over and lay ing a hiwltntlng band ou tbe apron. "No. I'm not hurt" Mls Lovllla was Rlad she was not obliged to 11 this time. Unlucky'a bond fell from the apron. "Why," ho began perplexedly, "It can't be you are crying Just to-to pas away tbe time." Then Miss Lovllla' tear gave way, suddenly to smiles. She removed tbe apron and looked up at Unlucky stand ing straight and tali and honest beioro her. It wa good to see him there. "I'm o glad," she burst out between tears and loughter, "that yon are alive." It was a strange ipeech. Dutch Jo a mllo down the canyon would have understood It, but not Unlucky. To him it meant something wblcb filled him with tho Joy of a courogo he ba never expected would be bis, and be fore Mis Lovllla could protest-had he been so inclined-he had token ber comely face between bl band and kissed It f ii The sun bad ct. and Alfred wa wondering what had become of- bl nunt, whon he appeared, followod by Unlucky.
