Of the Big Y. J
By CLARISSA MACKIC.

It was while he was riding down
Little Bear trail that Beany Hendrix
saw her. She was riding up the trail,
and they met at the narrowest point,
where the steep walls of the canyon
shut out the sunlight, leaving a gloomy
tunnel through which there was bare
ly room for two riders to pass. Hen
drlx backed his cayuse against the
rocky wall and tried to shrink his
huge form into smaller compass.
She, Edith Van Tine, looked at him
from the level of grave, gray eyes
qnestionlngly. She bowed politely and
then smiled. All women smiled when
they met Hendrix's genial gase. They
smiled In approval of the warm kind
llness of his good looking face, at the
strength of his great body and at the
good heart shining through his honest
brown eyes.
Miss Van Tine's smile faded, how
ever, as she saw the narrow trail that
became almost a footpath as it wound
np the canyon, and her cheek paled.
In spite of this formidable outlook she
urged her horse forward, bravely de
termined not to reveal her cowardice
to this big cow puncher, who sat, bat
in hand, waiting for her to pass. '
"You're not afraid, are you, ma'am?"
he drawled as she hesitated.
"Not In the least thank yon," she re
plied crisply.
"I was about to say," he continued
soberly, "that if you're a stranger In
these parts this Is a nasty bit of coun
try for a lady to get about In alone."
"Thank you," she repeated, still
more coldly, "but I was only resting
my horse."
Hendrix looked curiously solemn; in
deed, his features assumed a rigid ex
pression. One who knew might bave
said that Hendrix. was suppressing
smile. He threw one leg over the
pommel of his saddle, thus permitting
his cayuse to hug the wall more close
ly, and looked amiably upon the pret
ty stranger. Pretty girls were rare in
the Bear creek district
She flushed under his frank, admir
ing gaze and dug her spurred heel into
her horse's flank with angry Imp
deuce. The animal bounded forward,
striking fire with his scattered hoofs.
There was a faint cry from the girl
"LET US GO TOGETHER ALWAYS," KB 8 AID
CONTENTEDLY.
as she dashed away, and instantly Hen
drix turned his mount and followed
her.
It was impossible for him to pass her
on the narrow trail without Inflicting
serious injury to either one of them,
but somehow he managed to extend
his length along his horse and grasp
the bridle rein of her terrified animal.
"Now," he said kindly, "Just yon let
me follow you up till you get out of
this bole. . As I said before, -this la a
nasty bit of country for a lady to get
about In."
"And as I said before," she began
tartly, with eyes fixed toward the
mouth of the canyon, "I'm not afraid."
"We won't quarrel about that,
ma'am," returned Hendrix calmly.
"There Isn't room for two to quarrel
here."
Edith smiled faintly. Beany Hen
drix, riding at her horse's flank, could
see the dimple in her cheek and the
curl of her lip, and a troubled look
came Into his eyes, and a deep wrinkle
found place between his brows.
As they passed out of the canyon and
Into the open she turned toward him.
The smile had fled from her face, and
there was a cold, hard look In the gray
eyes.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness.
I believe i' shall get along famously
now."
Hendrix removed his hat and passed
a bronzed hand through his shock of
sunburnt hair. "If you will excuse
me, ma'am," he said, with his slow
hrawl, "I'd like to say that you better
ride home by the long trail; it's easy
riding, and It's safer than the canyon."
"But I don't know the long trail. I
have never been about here before,"
she returned blankly.'
"I should be pleased if you will let
me take you to the other trail. Ob, I'm
all right," be added hastily as she turn
ed a doubtful glance In bis direction.
"I'm Beany Hendrix, from the Big I
"Beany Hendrix V she repeated, np
nrsslnir a smile.
"You never heard of me before, I
inr nt. ma'am. I'm only a cow
punihor," tald Ileudrix, with a'dogged
look about bis pleasant mouth.
"Your name sound: familiar," she
in Id, with a return to her stiff maimer.
"I will be very grateful If you will
show mo the other wayv around,"
"Certainly." He fell into Uuo ut her
side, and they rode In silence, for sev
eral miles. Presently Edith became
conscious that tUo cow puncher was ob
serving her furtively,- and box chocks
flushed. She turned Indlgnnntly' to
ward him, but he was tuning fixedly
away across the plain, although there
was that tense Hue about his jaw
which Indicated some repressed feel
ing. , .;,!
"I believe he Is laughing at me," she
thought angrily, and then, mindful of
his gentle courtesy and of the fact that
he was going tut of his way to make
her journey nafe and pleasant, she
turned a softened face toward him. "I
am afraid I am making you a' great
deal of trouble," she said.
"Not at all," he returned. "I was out
looking for some stray critters. If I
don't round 'em up today I will tomor
row. ,
"That Is what I like about this west
ern country," she said wistfully. "There
Isn't the hurry and bustle of the east
and the undying conviction that what
isn't done today will never be done at
alb Every day Is so crowded with
vents that there bt no time to really
liver She spoke bitterly now, and her
eyes were turned away toward the low
line of serrated hills before them.
"I thought yon were from the east,
he said quietly. "Where are you stay
lngr
"At Anderson's. Tou like the west
better than the east?" she asked tim
Mly.
He removed his bat and looked about
the level expanse of country that was
visible from the slight rise they bad
gained, at the bending blue sky, the
gray green of the sagebrush and the
greener slopes of feeding grounds dot
ted with cattle.
"Who wouldn'tr be replied briefly
She sighed softly. "I didn't know it
was so beautiful out here," she said,
rather sadly, he thought "They said
I must come for my health, and here
I am."
"I came because somebody In the
east was tired of me said she never
wanted to see me again," drawled
Hendrix, taming his eyes away from
her downcast face.
Oh, no!" she exclaimed warmly.
"Not that"- She blushed vividly.
"Something like that," he returned
calmly.
There was silence for a time, she
riding with drooping head and sad
month and he watching her with ten
der pity in his eyes.
"Here Is your trail, ma'am," he said
at last, drawing In his horse with
sudden energy.
There was a startled look in her face
as she raised her eyes to bis and then
glanced at the well defined trail that
led to Anderson's.
"It's easy to follow and will take
you straight as a die to Anderson's."
He pulled his horse to one side and re
moved his hat
"It it Is safe for me to go alone?"
she faltered as she turned her horse
into the trail and glanced oppeallngly
at him.
Hendrix hesitated. She saw the red
creep Into the bronze of bis cheek and
a strange light Invade his eyes. "Safe
as time, ma'am," be said stubbornly,
facing his horse about and preparing
to leave her.
She rode a few paces awny from
him and then stopped. "Benforth." sho
said tremulously over her shoulder, "1
don't want to go alone any longer. I
want you to come with me!"
He was at her side Instantly.
"Do you mean It Edith?" he ques
tioned eassrly. "Do you mean it?" ,
"Yes," sfce whispered softly. "I came
after yon, Benfortb. I wanted you!
Will you come with me now?"
"Let us go together-always," be
said contentedly. ,
