Dropping hli glove upon the out spread limp, nnd with an exclamation of unmistakable astonishment nnl delight, Mason Huntley sprang forward nnd eels tJ the outstretched hand In his own. Anil then, while liotli were speaking so that neither could understand th other, ho threw hli firm about her, and seeing omethlng In her eye that at leait did not repel him, he bent hi head Impul alvely and preened lit Up again and Bain to here, that were Tery perceptibly turned toward him and pouted In the prettiest concession Imsginaole. John Wickly looked on In the greatest aston Ithment, set off and Illuminated with a naif Mircaitlc unite of enjoyment. "I don't care." said Liny. Mill hold ing Mr. Htmtley a hand In her own, and plainly Interposing to prevent him front dropping the encircling arm from her shoulder, as she half turned hrr head w Ith a rosy flush upon her face and some pretty drop of shining tears. In her eyes, and along the under lashes, while a mile of cnchnntlng mingled shame and Klf-vlndlcatlon lighted up her face like a halo atMiut nn angel's head. "I dou't care! He's treated me dreadfully I mean horribly, since Pvo been here In the city. And I'm going to know why, before I let go of your hand Mr!" she continued, turning away from her fnther, and shaking her brown curl that hung to cbanntnglr out from uuder her hat and down a little way upou tho side of her face. "If that's It," aald Sir. Wickly. with a ort of roguish shrugging of hli shoul der, "1 think I'll step ont and aeo If thoe horse arc standing all right. They might run away and leave us, you know. And then I can't bo of any use what arer In this sort of an Investigation," and he turned and went out, hi daugh ter calling after him: "You needn't, sir! I don't care If you are here. I shall say Just what I're got to eay, anyhow Now, tell me what you meant by It, Mr Huntley. Why did you tell me you would see me soon. If It were In your power, and then hare me right here In the city for week and weeks, pasting me on the itreeta every flay without a word or a look, or any - thing to Indicate that you had ever had even a pasting acquaintance with met Wasn't it your place to coma to me at once? Or, If you had any doubt about my treatment of yon, couldn't you write to me? Do you think It wn my place to chase you all over the city and hunt you down, without eTcn a trace of you? Couldn't you even do so much to facili tate the search ax to leave a hint of your whereabouts, ukii which I could begin? Suppose I hndn't found you at all, would you hare persisted lu staying nway for srer?" There was enough light from tho af ternoon tun coming in at the west and tonthwest windows of the room to throw a very effective gleam upon the lovely form of Llxxy Wickly, clad In a palo brown silk that shed it suit sheen along rery line and curre. ilo had nercr seen her so richly dressed. She had never been so richly dressed. And there was, (n the heightened effect of her charming dress upon her always plcailng face and figure, that best of all excuse for the Try richest dresses that any woman can afford to wear. He stood a moment without a word, but with his eye telling voluble itorles eloquent with admiration, a they flew rapidly from the brown plumes In her darker brown Ilk hat, that framed her fresh, ruddy face so charm ingly, with its broad, brown satin strings, tied in an elegant bow under ber dim pled chin, down th sloping shoulders, with tho line of faintly glittering light reflected from the silk threads, changing Its direction as the bosom rose and fell In quick, sharp undulations of excite ment and delight. Ah! W. Mason Hunt ley! If ever there were a pretty, straight forward, frank and fearless daughter of tho Wabash, well worthy of the admira tion, the respect and the lore of a good man, for those qualities that enabled her to" throw aside the contentions II ties and go thus boldly about the city, to chase you down and take you to task for your neglect and misfeasance, then this I one! "And hare yon actually been bunting me ail tho time?" be murmured, delight edly. "Hare you actually felt that I bare mistreated you In not going 'at ouce to see you? Hare you had time, In all ' the rush and hurry of the last two months, to think about me long enough to make real search for me?" He stopped to kiss her again and again, Just aa she wo opening her pretty curved lip to reply and so frustrating the reply for a full twenty seconds. "You know I hare," she says, putting op her gloved hand to prevent another frustration of her reply. "I'm sure now, that you knew of It on the very first day that I chased you, and lost you behind a barricade of wagon. If I had known Just what your scheme was, sir, I shouldn't have hunted you a step." And she alaps hi face and then pull it down to cure the blow with a kiss that heals like magic. "Hut you haven't told me on reason for your abstention and a good one, too. No more shallow excuse will do. What wa It?" Hbe looked yery eagerly and brightly expectant into hi eye. "Yog know already. You know a well a If I bad said It In ererj possi ble form of phraseology," ha retorted, laughingly. "But I want you to tell it, even if I do know It. And can you protend to read a young woman's thought In such on off-band manner? Or to presume up on my ability to read the purpose of auch an arch Impersonator and dissem bler a yon? Why in th world did you rer put on that ugly brown wig, Mr. Huntley? Now, ther wasn't a particle of reason In that, you mutt confess. Dut go on and tell m first, why you didn't come to ma at the hotel Or before I coma away from Handtown, even." He stooped 'a little and kissed her again be fore bo repllodi "I wanted you to tee and mingle with the beat people of tho city. I wanted you to feel free to form any opinion of them, or of any one of thorn, without hindrance from roe In any way. I know that yu flt aura of my lov and (mo - r1r W. TAYLOR J A"wyPv' Q: tion. I wanted you Also to feel lure of your own. You remember that you sld to mo on that night in the woods that it might be my just punishment that you should not be able to tell whether you loved an Ideal or a real man? You re member? I thought of that almost ev ery hour, and wondered If I were to be punished by such a misadventure of all my plan." "Ah, you cunning fellow, you! I up pote you didn't know that to surround yourself with all this mystery and diffi culty wa the best of all methods to make m think of nobody else? Why, It was equAl to parental dlssont, I verily believe! Of course, none of the attrac tive young gentlemen whom I havo met here had the slightest chance against all your mystery Hut I'm really a little doubtful of you yet. Father's coming In now, and you must get Into the cab with us, and go down to the hotel. I have hours of bushiest conversation to bo held with you. In relation to my num erous and Important financial trsnsse llon. And I know of no one whom I could so complacently put In charge of my wealth at the man who put me In charge of it." What a ride It was, to be suro! Hud Kllet, knowing by Intuition, or perhaps by experience. Just what was required of hlin, saw hit party of three safely In the cab, and then concerning himself about nothing beyond making this the longest possible trip to the hotel, drove slowly down one street and across and up an other, taking the party past all the pret tiest and uewest and grandest residences, and by erery object of Interest that he could think of, well knowing that no tiody save John Wickly himself woutd be, by any probability within his com prehension, likely to see these sights. CHAPTEIt XXIV. In fact, the two lovers were In that state of ecstatic somnambulism In which, with eyes and ears wide open, they are able to see absolutely nothing, besides each other, and to hear no sounds save the murmured words that pasted between themselves, to the perfect and Inexorable exclusion of everybody else. Listening, a anybody In the world will listen, to the cooing of real lovers, and looking at them slyly through the wicket, as any body lu the world will look at real lovers. Hud Kllet could see and hear almost all that could have been seen and heard by John Wickly, leaning back on the front sent, in the shadow so deep a to be In effect absent, and therefor not at all In the way. "There appeared to be some real ev cus for. my diigulso and my imperson ation of a fictitious Individual," Mr. Huntley was saying, aa his left arm fit ted itself, snugly into a comfortable sup port for her head, where hi hand could lie protectlngly, carestlngly upon her left shoulder without the slightest inconven ience to anybody. "You see tho other road held the mortgages as collateral for a debt of the Parmer' Hank. And by some means they had gotten a hint of the existence of coal veins under your land. I was employed by our company to go and make a thorough Investiga tion of the whole matter as secretly and quickly as possible. Fortunately for us and for you, the other company was not impressed with the value of the deposit tJ the extent of Inducing them to act very promptly. And consequently my work was almost completed when they began their survey that revealed to them the great value of the deposit. Then came strategem and strife. Doth com panies had obtained right of way, save some formalities on the part of our op ponents that enabled us to claim ex clusive right up to that time; and not only to put down our track, but to pre vent them from putting down theirs. By means of my character of geologist, and my brown wig, I could come end go ue twecn the field of my explorations and the central office of the company without arousing suspicion. On the evening of the hurricane, you remember?" "I have never forgotten It for a mo ment. I shall never forget It. I shall always love a ttonn of wind and rain so lung a I live," she Interrupts, leaning her brown silk hat down against his cheek In a way that everybody openly deride, and secretly applauds and envies, Tho protecting and careaslng left hand upon her left shoulder beat a little tat too of grateful applause. "That evening I discovered that our adversary had become aware of what was going forward, and had prepared to outbid 3ie for the laud. It was neces sary to go back and preseut all the facts that went to show the actual great value of the deposit, and get authority, ami perhaps means, for a large advance upon tho original sum I had been authorized to offer. I found some difficulty, and ex perienced a vexatious delay in this branch of the work. And when I was Anally ready, I found a force of armed men to oppose our rightful entry upon the land, and so was compelled to meet force with force. A bloody conflict was probably avoided by the timely and de termined Interposition of old Coonrod Itedden, who, when he discovered tjiat some one else had been at the bottom of the trouble of tho Handtown Farmer' Hauk, and that I was not at all to blame, took part with u very heartily and sav ed u from a very formidable peril in the shape of the militia of Hlg Ilattlo snake Creek and Reel foot Pond. And now you know all the mysteries of the geological survey of Wlckley'a Wood," Not many days after there wa great itlr at Bandtown; thl time not at all a military nor financial excitement. Quite tho reverse. The Bandtown I) rats Band wa out lo full uniform, and tb Mount Zlon Doubt Quartet Club were out, too, In an open wagon, and there was the whole available population of Bandtown and Its Immediate vicinity, gathered about th little new railroad station. A the train from the city pulled in upon the sidetrack, the band, following a little signal blown by the leader, th young Doc Dikes, upon hi cornet, ttruek up a Very popular air of those day, and very appropriate to the occasion, in which ever Instrument tare th bat drum had a turn at a bit of solo bated upon "llnste to tho Wedding." Then the bridal partr got off tho crtr, nml was Instantly surrounded by the whole crowd, In the center of which tho Mall, angular form of Coonrod lteddra could bo seen, a head above tho tallest. "Howdy,. Maion! Howdy, Liny I Orto call you Miss Huntley, now, I Mow. Wush yuh much Joy, both uv yuhl Hy gum I I nuvver no more thought uh slch n thetig thuu I thought uh glttun main! muhself, Hy gum! I didn't.

What a triumphal march down th Overcoat road, from the station to Coon rod nedden' house! What waving of hats and hnndkervhtvfs. And what yellt and screeches! There was Just that ele ment of the ludicrous, that tint of absurd ity, lu this noisy demonstration that made It doubly acceptable to the fun-loving Rnndtowner It was an unexpected dem onstration, and so had the features of a huge and successful practical Joke which the Hooslor lores so well; while It served as an ample opportunity for all to Join In a public exhibition of respect And admira tion, which the true Hoosler delights to make In honor of a,ny cltlien who. In any walk of life, attains distinction aud so reflect luster upon his nttlre State, or hit adopted town and country. "There'a the Woods." Liny whltpers Id Mr. Huntley's ear. He turn, and glance up the little woods road that branches off from the Overcoat road and winds away Into the recesses of the for est, now beginning to exchange It gay green coat for a mantle of brown, trim med with knot and fringes of yellow, and cardinal and purple. "My darling wife," he whispers. "I want to keep that little, tone brier fringed road Just aa It It, so long as you shall love me." (The end) WHEN A REINDEER 13 ANQRY tie Will Try to nw Man to Death Without Mercy or Heason. Wa wero forced to wait threo day a nftor It had atopped snowing for a cnut to form o that we could travel ngnln. It wa with many misgivings that wc began th last halt of tho Journey, since tho now wa now rtty deep and tho danger of our linking Into drifts was great. To add to our general feeling of fear, the reindeer behnred very badly nnd were exceed ingly unruly Tho wind had moderat ed somewhat, but It wai sttll Intense ly cold. Wo had traveled half tho day with out nny aerlou mlihap nnd were be ginning to forget our feara at starting out, when we sped merrily down a mountain aide, singing nnd halloaing at the top of our voice, nnd ran Into a gulch and atuck there. The songs topped in our throat, and we sprang to our feet to sink waist deep In the drifts that bad entrapped us. Every movement of our bodies sank ua deeper In th tnow drifts, and tho infuriated reindeer, finding them elve caught In th banked up tnoir, almost to their haunche, turned upon u and would linve pawed u to death but for tho forethought of Ooslllk, who, seeing our danger, sprang for ward and, hoisting tho overturned pulk In hi strong arm, brought them down orer our head and boul ders and pinned u out of tight in the snow. We heard the hoof of Uncle Hen beating on tho pulk' aide aa he pawed up the anow In hi effort to get at us, and If we had not held to th strap nnd had not kept the pulk over u he would bare tossed It Into tho air with ono awevp of his horn and would still have had his bout with us, In which case we should have been helpless and completely at his mercy. For the first timo we had occasion to so how fierce an angry reindeer can be. When be was convinced that ho could not reach u Uncle Hen turned upon Ooslllk, and we beard the Kaklmo shouting and clubbing tho deer nn he ran In nnd out of the pulkt In a swift circuit, pursued by the bellowing reindeer. We spent nn exciting half hour un der tho pulka, with the hoofs of th deer rattling llko hall on the frozen boards, and then the unusual commo tion ceased all nt once, for the rein deer hod found n lichen bed. In n Jiffy they wero pawing up the enow in their hurry to get nt tho succulent moss, and we wore forgotten. Amnlllc and Ooslllk lifted tho pulka from our heads and dug us up out of tho snow nnd set us on our feet. Hy the tltno tho reindeer had eaten them selves Into a passable humor Amallk nnd Ooslllk led them back to th pulka. We had four hours of traveling be fore we came In sight of th corral that had sent ui tho reindeer from Eaton Btatlon. A soon a th deer scentod the well-known corral they quickened their stride so that we reached the station before it wa quit dark, nnd crawled from the aleda with a deep fllng of rUef, glad bajrona raeaure to be nt bom after th poriU of our protracted Journey. 8t Nicho- In India the power given off by a motor 1 sometimes expressed In ele phant oqulvalont, a twenty-two horsi motor bolng doacrlbed as a three el pnant power vehicle.
