Both CuHlunnn was riding liomcj by
way of tlio long trull. It was n yield
ing to sentiment tlint Both herself do
Bplsed, hut alio could not help It when
alio cumo to the crossroads.
Tho long troll lind been her favorite
rldo with Miles Hill, but that hand
eomo co wiu nelier hud ceased to cull
upon Miss CiiHliinan.
Krom the trail aho could look down
Into a llttlo canyon through tho nilddlo
of which riiMhed a frollcsomo stream.
On tho bunk of the stream there stood
a horse and rlder,v girl on n crenni
colored pony.
Beth drew a Jealous breath, for hL'o
cotdd see Hint the girl wns lovely hi
a blond, golden haired, pink and whltn
way.
Ah she gazed down there, the white
pony lipped the stream nhd, out from
tho rocks of thu canyon, there dashed
n horse nnd rider. It was Miles II1U,
riding black Poncho. Beth caught her
bieaih ns thu man rodo. rapidly to
ward tho girl, bent swiftly to kiss her
nnd, with his arm around her slender
waist, the two forded tho stream and
rode rapidly up tho canyon and dlsniv'
peured from ylow.
Entirely heartsick, but with a bravo
smile on her Hps, Beth sat down to
supper that night.
Her uncle, u morose, taciturn man,
ute silently ,ond swiftly, and rising,,
went away on some oillclal errnnd, for
he wns sheriff of the county.
Mrs. Colt and her two daughters
breathed u little easier after his de
parture and began to talk to the two
cowboys who ate with the family.
"Pa hasn't said nnythlng, but I
reckon bo's off on that Tlnkerman
ease," observed Mrs. Colt.
"I reckon ho Is," returned Link Put
crson, buttering another biscuit.
"Some one said Miles Hill hud dis
appeared from tho range," went on
Mrs. Colt, with a nldo glance at her
niece.
"Jameson hinted that Miles was
mixed up In thu Tlnkerman raid," put
in Louise Colt eagerly.
"Jameson better try again. There
nlu't a sipiarer fellow nowhero than
Miles Hill," muttered Link. 1
"Whoro Is Miles, then?" demanded
Cora.
"Miles? Why, I can't say exactly.
It's sort of a secret, you know, ma'am."
Link grow very red nnd looked at
Beth's pathetic face.
Beth lifted her head haughtily. Her
eyes flashed splendidly. "
"I don't know why his whereabouts
Bhould bo a secrot," she said nervlly.
"I saw 1dm today."
"Oh, you did?" queried Link, reliev
ed, and Hiuumy Smith nuked quickly:
"I reckon It 'twun't far from Llttlo
canyon. Miss Beth."
"It was right there, no was riding
wltb girl, a very pretty girl," said
Beth bravely.
Thoro was nothing more, said con
cerning Miles Hill, and after supper
Beth went to her room and rested her
weary head on thu sill, lotting the cool,
sweet air caress her (lushed cheeks and
dry tho tears on her lushes.
Link mid Sammy rodo away, and
from Uio overcrowded bunts bouso
eauio talk nnd laughter and song as
the cowboys prepared themselves for
Bomo merrymaking In tho town, live
miles distant
After thoy, too, hnd clattered nway
nnd Sam Soy had ceased to rattle
dishes In the kitchen silence fell on
tho ranch house and Its inhabitants.
From tho veranda below Beth caught
tho drift of voices now and then
through tho confusion of other sounds,
but ufter it grew very still the voices
camo up sharply penetrating.
"I think your pa was too severe with
Miles Hill." said Mrs. Colt. "Ho sure
was plumb set after Beth, nnd It
showed he was lionorablo to speak to
Henry about It first"
"Miles Isn't poorer than any other
cowpuncher around here, and plenty
of them marry and setttlo down,"
ugrced Cora, who was fond of her llt
tlo coiihIii.
"I heurd him tell pa that If he'd namo
thu sum he thought ho ought to huvo
before ho asked Beth to marry him he
said ho would huvo it." put In Loulso.
"How much did pa tell Miles ho
must rnlse?" asked Cora.
"Five hundred dollars," laughed
Louise. "I heard poor Miles telling
him it would tako him n wholo year
to do that out of his pay nnd thun his
clothes would bo so shabby Beth
wouldn't look at him by that time!"
"What did pa say to that?"
"He Just laughed, and then Miles got
angry nnd said he'd show hltn a tho'i
sand dollars before he'd nsk him, anil
he went off In n rage, nnd I haven t
eon him since."
"Beth, poor child, said she saw him
with another girl," worried kind Mrs.
Colt.
"It's a shaino!" cried Louise. "I'll
Just scold Pa Colt when I get hold of
him! See If I don't."
Beth withdrew from tho window nnd
went to bed. There was n singing In
her henrt because Miles FTIH hnd loved
Lor, whatever his wandering heart
was dctng now. no had nsked her
uncle for Uer hand., and tUncle. Henry
had refused, but there wns n measure
pi comfort In tho thought that Mllea
had not been dellbo...tuly fulthless. tlu
hnd been turned mvuy, and the blond
girl had tempted Iilin.
' The girl fell asleep to dream of her
lover mid the pretty girl who had
wutted for 111 1 1 in Little canyon and
who hud received his kiss upon her
lips with nlry nonchalance.
It was perhaps u week after thnt
Beth Cuslilmin once more rode home
ty the long trail. This was nlit from
deslro. Stern necessity demanded the
change of route because during n
severe windstorm there hud been sev
eral trees uprooted nlong thu short
trail mid n landslide hnd completed Its
destruction.
Bo It happened that Beth rode slow
ly along the familiar way, her eyes
llxed on tho llttlo space between Bon
nie's brown ours. ' , . .
She had passed Little canyon with
out n glance Into Its green depths and
was climbing tho hill when sho sud
denly caino to the top, where n thrill
ing scene was taking place.
Hiding: straight toward her was u
most villainous looking Mexican, and
In the curve of his left nrm ho carried
thu slender form of tho bountiful
blond whom she had seen with Miles.
Shouting down the distance came
Miles, bending" over his horse In vain
pursuit of the Mexican.
Whllo-sho paused there, startled at
the scene, a shot rung but from the
bushes bordering tho trull, and Miles
threw up his hands nnd fell to the
ground. The horse cropped tho'grass
undisturbed by the still form of his
master lying so near.
All this happened In a breath. When
Miles fell the Mexican was still com
ing toward;-Buthi A groat rage filled
her soul with a mad desire to kill, to
avenge the life of her old sweetheart.
A word to Bonnie, nnd Beth dashed
Into the scene, her revolver thrust Into
thu fnco of the frightened Mexican.
"filvo her to me! Let go! I'll kill
you If yon don't!" she screamed in his
ear.
Ho released his hold on tho girl, mid
Beth clutched her In strong nrms nnd
swung her ncross her snddluj'Vrien she
dashed past tho Mexican nnd guided
Bonnie to where tho prostrate Miles
lay on the ground. s
"You're safe now," assured Beth ns
she helped the girl to the ground nnd
then dismounted. To her surprise tho
girl stnred ut her ruther Impudently
until a smile crinkled tho corners of
bur rouged lips.
"Say. Miss Buttlnsky, what do you
mean by queering this picture?" shu
asked sharply. "Walt until old Fen
null gets up here. I guess you've
spoiled thirty feet of perfectly ripping
film."'
"Picture?" faltered Both. "Film? I
don't know whnt you muan."
Thu girl laughed gleefully nnd chip
ped her hnnds nt a stout, red faced
man who caniu panting toward them.
"Don't have u tit. Fdiinell." she snid
saucily. "It's only another tenderfoot
taking a movlo picture for the real
thing."
But Mr. Fenncll wos grinning with
enthusiasm.
"It was great grunt Floral" he
cried. "Young ludy, 1 must have you
In this. What suy? Could you do that
stunt ngnln?"
Beth looked nt him in n bewildered
way, and her blushes deepened whim
she noticed thnt Miles Hill hud risen
quite unhurt mid was regarding her
with grnvo Interest In Ms brown eyes.
"Perhupi you will explain It to me.
I've never been called n tenderfoot
before." Beth smiled at the girl culled
Flora, and the girl nodded back In n
friendly way. The Mexican had np
pioached and was nonchaluni rolling
u cigarette, while from the underbrush
there crawled another nctor o'f thu
cowboy type. It was this worthy who
had tired the blank cartridge from
ambush at Miles Hill.
Mr. Fonuoll explained all about his
company of moving picture actors and
how this particular Him was to be a
star production If it turned out well.
'And ho wanted Beth to help them out
by repeating her rescue of Flora from
tho dark browed Mexlcun. who In real
life was her husband.
So the eninenl man threaded up his
machine again, nnd tho scene was re
peated to the great satisfaction of Mr.
Fenncll and all concerned.
At last the company separated, the
actors going back to their headquarter
at Itiil Ford- and Miles 11 III riding
slowly homo with Beth, who had so
unexpectedly como Into her own again.
"You thought I was deadt honey?"
he aski-d after awhllu..
She nodded. "And I saw you and
Flora In the canyon tho other day,"
she added.
"You monn where I kiss her and ride
upstrenni?"
"Yes I cr belluved It wns true,
.Miles."
He laughed tenderly. "It couldn't
be. denr, because there's only one girl
Lin the "vorld for mo, and hhe's so lino
thnt when she saw the girl sho thought
was mine being carried off by n no
'count greaser she Just naturally would
not stand for It, but rushed hi and res
cued the girl for mo."
Beth blushed hotly, but her eyes
were very happy,
"I heard a'.out your asking uncle,"
she paid. "Isthat why you are acting
In this moving picture company, fo
that you can ralso u thousand dollars?"
"To marry you at once," he smiled
down nt her. "You see. I'll have the
money saved up In three months. Fen
noil's going to gut out four moro of
these wild nnd woolly western plays,
and I'm going to be In every one of
them. I guess you might ns well be
gin on your wedding clothes, dearie."
"And I thought it wns the blond nil
the time. Miles." she whispered tear
fully. "Don't pin your fnlth on blonds.
Iiijnay.".,liecatitloned,.,'a,liey nlwnys do
the contrary things. This time It was
not tho blond; It was all for you."
