This was Miss Lovltlas philosophy
of life "to make the best of things,"
despite the rvprvsslvc ntnioaphere en

whom iho had "staved" during a large

thought, half amused and half vexed

In Hue after Itne, more or les crook

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

who discovered tho rich leads of Dun

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

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,

marked with a plmi droop at tli cor
ner of her mouth n she bade the eld

that cheerful parting flushed Into Ml
Lovllln'i mind now a she arose and
culled. "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

Unlucky came to an abrupt Hop and
twisted the stem of the flower, but

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

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'

himself or some one else. His mark
can't be too crooked either, for if
there's a man this Ide of Meeteetse

that finally brought a look of alarm to

down the canyon.
"Dutch Jo come up behind me flffbt-

Miss Lovllla glanced behind ber et

nnd shivered when ber Informant had

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

horse's hoofs. Dutch' Jo, fighting
drunk, wo gaining ou ber. Tbe next
turn lo the trsll would bring Ulm Into

"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

"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

Dutch Jo drove tho spurs deeper and

with anger.
"No, I won't." declared Mis Lovllla.
Tho npproachlug wblntlo rendered ber

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

"No. I'm not hurt" Mls Lovllla

Unlucky'a bond fell from the apron.
"Why," ho began perplexedly, "It can't
be you are crying Just to-to pas

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

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
