mi the Unhappiness
it Caused
X By CLARISSA MACKIE
Hen t'lmiey squinted ttiroiujlitfully
at ilu- luwoi'iii sky. Although the
Kiass of tin- plulus was reeu 111J
lusli with iimuy summer rains, the
j.'uiu'i'ii:K clouds ave promise of more
water.
"I'd lute to Ret these ylud ras all
dampened tip," muttered l!eu regret
fully as he Klaixet down at his KHla
attire
He made a hrave Oku re. Indeed, as
h sat on his liis black horse. 'He wore
new hiii ksUin tueeclies hrand new
and snow w liiie AiiKora eliaps. a white
silk shirt with a tilue silk handkerchief
tied about his strong brown tliroat and
a lifteen dollar hat ou top of his fair,
curly hair.
"All on account of a girl who would
not look twice at tne If 1 was all cov
ered 'with Kuld laee. like that army
fellow that's been staying tluTe." sigh
ed lieu as lie prieked the blaek horse
with his sliver spurred heels.
The horse bounded down the trail,
ami Hen Kinney, rldiuc like a centaur,
turned his thoughts from the impend
liiK disaster of rain upon his best
clothes mul meditated upon his chances
of timlin-: Iti't tv Pani-'et field at home.
Old man I;ius:ert1e!d. as he was lo
cally known, was poundintf out of the
Cite when Men approached the house.
"Aimthe- u-oi'd for nothing row
puncher!" snorted Damrertield fiercely
ss they passed
Ren lauc'ied liphtl.v. They were all
accustomed to Danu'ertield's Insults
when his rheumatism was more
wren lilm; than usual.
Rut the tiijr hearted cowboys of liat
tle county would have risked more
than D;iin.'crtield's harks for a smile
and a word from lovely Betty, his
pretty daughter anil keeper of his wid
owed household.
Betty was sitting in the front porch
now. demurely sewing a seam, as a
housewife should
Wan Chiiii;. the Chinese cook, peered
from his khchen window and. uliuipx
inp Ren's irlad attire, cackled shrilly: '
"Him come, allee saiuee. velly tine:
him jro. chop-chop, velly fast, allee
samee. velly mad!" he muttered.
In truth, while Iten Kinney looked
very fine and brave, his heart was
fiutierini; painfully before it made one
last drop Into bis shining boots.
To dream about Betty Danjiertiold
when he was a dozen miles away was
one thine: to look into her chaiiKini;
eyes now jmiy. now brown, now green
-was another proX)sition
He detected mirth and admiration In
her first clance at his gallant form,
lie banished the admiration as ficti
tious, and he remembered the quickly
lepressed mirth, and his heart found
refuse in the splendid boots.
"Oood afternoon. Mr. Finney," dim
pled Betty as she came forward with
outstretched hand and carefully low
ered lashes.
Ben dropped from the saddle and
held her hand in his own big brown
palm for an instant. Then the dell
clous second was over, and he was
sitting on the "steps, one knee clasped
in his hands and his eyes devouring
her sweet face.
He didn't know what to say. The
heart that might have prompted him,
having departed from its accustomed
place untie.- the pocket of his white
silk shirt, was also dumb
"Father has none over to River
Bend." volunteered Betty after they
had discussed the weather.
"1 met him." said Ren: then, with
sudden inspiration he added. "What
tlo you think lie said. Miss Betty?"
"Something awful, I am afraid."
laughed Betty. "Daddy's rheumatism.
Is bothering him a lot Just now poor
dear! What did he say. Mr. Kinney?"
Ben turned brick red. but he kept on
doggedly:
"He said. "There goes another good
for nothing cowpuncher!' " explained
Ben.
. It was Betty's turn to blush, and she
did it most becomingly.
"How horrid of daddy! 1 must apol
ogize for him. I am sure he is very
fond of all of his neighbors. You know
his rheumatism is very painful"
"I don't mind that at all," Interrupt
ed Ben. "only I wish he could have ex
pressed It a little differently. If in
stead of saying 'another cowpuncher'
be had said. 'There goes that good for
nothing cowpuncher!" meaning me
alone, that would have suited me down
to the ground."
"Why?" asked Betty, amazed.
"Because It would have wiped out
all the others, showing there was only
one cowpuncher coming here, and oh.
well, you understand. Betty, that I'd
like to be that one!" In this manner
Ben Finney's heart leaped up for a mo-
