He hnd caught a irlliiipte of the lndjr (the widow of a rit'h landowner) the looming after his arrivnl. and from the II rut moment his artist aoul had fulten wnrahiping' before the flame of her red hnir. Hut her first glimpse of him had been In the ffitrdeu when he rnmt across her ' 'atuniling beneath the apple tree, one ... arm outstretched to plui-k the roay : fruit which from time Immemorial hud held an attraction for her aei. The glorious head, devoid of cover ing, waa thrown back; one long, rich atrand of hair had flown like a thin flame across the dim purple of tver cotton yown. It was a picture to la toilcata, and calculated to turn a steadier head than the one upon hia youthful shoulders. He rnme towards tier, greeting In every gesture of hia outstretched hands, and the one word that described the stillness of the gar den wns "Kve." It cuuie thrilling through apace, it arrested her atten tion Mid held her oaptive to him In astonishment. How did this stranger know her name? In her siirpriae she half responded to it, but convention raised its head, serpent-like, and herahadow-gray eyes flashed green with wonder and Indig nation that a stranger should dare to ' intrude upon her privacy and address tier In this familiar way. lis saw the look and grasped the situation. Quickly the eiplnnation mine: ' "A gnrdrn and a wniian-tln ap ples helped to heighten the picture hence the reclamation." . A smile quivered on her Hps. He could have sworn he caught a lurking merriment In those eye; but again the serpent asserted itself. "I prefer my Kdeh Ailnmleaa," she said, sweeping past him, with never "i0 much lis a backward glance. He merely repeated the Anal syllable of hia nrw-found nnms, maybe by way of not forgetting It. On the morrow they met again. This time by the old white wall that fnctd the south, covered, vine-like, with toiunto foliage. "Apples ugnlu. Apples of love," he said by way of greeting, as tie pointed to the half-rip fruit Unit nestled hid ing in Its wull of leaves. She enst a curious gliinre at them, smiling nt his use of the homely nnme. , "(irren as yet," was the somewhat chilly comment as the gathered up her purple gow u. "A hi but they will ripen. All they want is time." he rnlled after her. . On the third day she discovered him with earth-stained hands busy In the gnrrien. She stood a while unperccived, a crillcnl spectator. Youth mt lightly tipoii him, strvngth miihifcslcd luclf in every movement; the whole was pleasing even to her fiisliilious soul. She forgot tit resent the easy assur ance Hint even while It piipied her at tracted Iter. furiosity struggled with eoiiirntion ality. The woman in hvr encouraged the former, to tlmt Its victory waa an cany mis. The serpent hid its bruised head and slumbered. Then: ' "' "Are you the g.ftdensr?" she Intsr rogated. ' He scarcely noticed the Insolence of the query; all he wat conscious of waa I've hud come, the garden suddenly "waa glorified. "Ailiitu deli ing uiuougst the soil," lie quoted.

"You love the guii!e;i." hlie ha.u,rd ed, bringing her wuinici int; gu.e back to him. "And everything in it," wuh Ii ih aup plcmeiited answer, na I c iniide a men tal note that creamy hkins blin.li near er perfection than any other com plexion can. "I love its privacy," ahe commented, pointedly. "And 1 its trespasser." Rhe began to wonder if it were well to nibble strange fruit, amf whether the domestic variety were not nufer for everyday consumption. "The door must soon be cloned upon them," she said. "They inuHt make the. most of their opportunities while it remains r.pen, then, but when will it be hut7 "When the apples ripen." "May the harvest be a lute one," was the hospitable rejoinder. It amused him to see this Interloper so entirely at her euae in hia domain. Her quick ear detected a shade of un conscious patronage In his tone. Rhe could not stand that ; on her own ground it was Insufferable. Her thoughts flew to the serpent. She blamed herself for ever having let it slumber. Hnatily she roused it up and took her leave with it. He eyed her retreat with dismay. Ita abruptness ierplexcd him till he res'ogni.ed the trail of the set pent. "1 hat your pets." he culled after her; "they leaie a sling behind." Her quick wit marked the play upon the word, and brought to birth n smile that bore her company upon her home ward way. The fourth day found them under the apple tree talking glibly of Ilia fruit. Hhe knew little more of it than Ita name began with a "r," and ended with an "K." He might have told her of its origin had he felt ao inclined; also something of its true translation. The cirrMtiiiBtanci-s were fuvornble to discussion; by the end of the morn ing Kve wns alive to the fui t that for bidden fruit had a taste tiiat w an ensily acquired, while Ailniii felt it waa lit for the table of an epicure. The evening's post brought twin ex planations and apologies from the rival agents. The fourth day was stormy; panic fell on both their aouls lest they should loss their Kden. It had grown so dear that neither could contemplate expul sion with any pretensions to calmness. Ones more the garden was the scene of meeting; this Lime (irn'k met Greek. Rhe retreated, not beaten, but firm ly convinced of the fnllure of fireworks as Illuminations for Kden. He left her, swearing that every red haired woman had a spice of the devil, but he did not forget to add the re mainder of the quotation Unit put that spies down as being worth all the pretiiness in the world. The next day both learned of the leisure of repentance. Alone they walked within the garden, once so fair Its charm had vanished. Again It waa a waste around it ruin. Kden no longer, now the other wna not there. " Tia yours," ha wrote at close of day. "Kden without ita Kve could be no longer paradise." "The garden wns given first to Ad am," she had penned in her gen erosity. "Yours is the prior claim 1 leave It to you. Guard It well. Fare well. Farewell." Her note came to hand on the even ing of the aixth day; all desire to visit the garden now that she had gone wits dead. Ita emptiness mocked him; unlit by har bright hair, It lay in lonely shad ow, under a cloak of silence drear as death. Hut on the morrow a melancholy nt trartion drrw him thither. He clime high noon, and hastened to the apple tree where first they met, Miicsted of a hope that she might come to him. Hut disappointment ruled his day. Sadly he plucked the perfect fruit that, alas! had ripened ail to late. "The fruit of knowledge!" he said, bitterly surveying the gulden bull; then tossed It from him with an i tit -jtetuotis motion, a he roiniiled the cor ner of the south wall, now n muss of tender green and blood red fruit. Hut brauly of the picture wna lost upon him; all his cea suw was a slen der patch of purple. Viewed from a distance. It might easily have been mistaken fur a mns of clematis. The fruit be had flung from him was checked by the folds of her gown. She stooped to pick it up, niiil rising, met hia gin nee, her ow n full of iuquirji . "The fruit of the tree of know ledge." ha aaitl, .anawering tier unspoken query. "Is it sweet?" she faltered. "It tasted to me of the bitterness of death a white ago," he said. Once more she ruied her arm above hit shining head, and plucked a gen erous branch of the passion painted fruit. Silently she held them out ns an offering to him. A whisper broke the silence of the garden. " pplcs of lo e." The words Honied from her to Mm; it broke the spell. A gentle toe wind rose, and, whispering to the gtinleu, woke the flowers.

"I ain't guilty," mid Marzc, as he stood erect and tossed back his hnir. "Well who is?" demanded the iwpnre. "There's the hoss thief," he cried, point ing with his arm outstretched. "Hill Teiket stole the mare." Hill Teiket sprang to his feet. The as semblage waa suddenly in motion. Hack ward and forward and sidewise, it swayed ominously and weapons were clicking, but there was no outbreak or runh or clash. A murmur arose in the rear of the room. The crowd parted, making n path through its center, till a girl rushed into the open apace where the prisoner tood in an atti tude of defiance, faring Hill Teiket. She pulled from her head a blue sunhonnet, whose edgei dropped and half hid her face. As she did so her hair, red brown and glinting, fell in nm-ces like a mantle on her shoulders. lied blushes fretted in her pal lid cheeks. The murmurs of the throng hushed and everyone was staring. "Nan, what brings you here" cried Bill Teiket. '! come teh save a man that never " "Teh save a hosa-thief?" "You'eh my brother. Hill, 'en I love yeh, 'en I come to stop yeh from savin' in court thet Marion Marie's a hoas-thief. Siuire, Marion isn't no hoss thief, llencveh stole the mare!" "Well, who did ateal 'er, Nan?" asked the court. "IVm't aak me, squirt. I can't tell yeh, but Marion didn't." "Kf yeh dn' tell, Nan, we'll hef teh peuttenahy im' "Yeh camt; yeh mint! Thty'se men here; they won't let yeh!" "Here, Nan. theyse enough o' that," aaid Hill Teiket, tieteely, aa he aeied his sister by the wrist and drew her rudely back. She turned on her brother and he shrunk from the Hashing of her dark eyes. She reUaed her wrist from his grisp. A half uil-iiued roar went up from the crowd ami it moved forwaid. A man in tho front rank was 1ml. ling up a revolver. The girl 'priug at hun ami snatched the weapon with such amble unfNa that she hail wrenched it from hmi before he could tighten hia &tr-i.g tinners on ita handle. Quicker than the men were thinking she wa at the side of the prisoner. "Here. M inon," l.i whimpered, placing the revolver m hm hand. "Kim fur it. Fight yer wrvy out. Yer ho. i at the crick." While she held up her fate to him, he bent his head and kitcd her. Then with a ringing veil, he leaped straight at the crow d, which opened a pathway for him ami then cloaed in behind hun.
