Red Ripe Cherries
"iou know 1 never shot a gun In my
life."
"But you are such a booby for a girl of
twenty."
"Well, show me again."
"You draw the gun up to your face so.
Toa shut our left eye so. Tou keep tho
other open and squint along the barrel.
Then you ptit your forefinger around the
trigger and pull. It's as easy as an old
shoe."
"But It will be loaded."
"With powder and dried peas. Tou
don't want to kill tho robins, but Jutt to
scare them off. They'll strip tho cherry
trees, and their burdens of ripe, sweet
fruit.
It was Hurt Traynor and his sister
Madge. To the right of the house and
nearer the highway were four big cherry
trees and their burdens of rlpo red fruit
were ready for picking. It seemed that
every robin for ten miles around knew It,
and was thero to claim his share In ad
Vnnce. Fred was to be absent that after
noon, while tho cook, had tried waving her
apron and calling out, "shoot" but the
birds had not been dismayed. It was to be
seen how they would behave when the
hard dried peas came rattling through the
twigs and leaves. The gun was loaded
and left nt the back door, and Fred left
a last cnutlon as he departed:
"You remember what I told you. Fire
to hit tho top of a tree. It will bo the
report that will frighten them away.
Don't drop the gun and fall over it when
you nre."
Half an hour later tho cook was Bent
out to see If he robins had gathered
after their last scare. She came back to
report:
"They are back by tho hundreds, Miss,
and there's something besides. On my
soul, I believe I saw a tramp pulling
himself up Into one of tho trees!"
"I don't believe a tramp would stop
for cherries," was he doubting reply of
me gin.
"Aye, but they -would. They Just dotes
on 'cm. After they have filled their
stomachs they nil their pockets, and
there's half a bushel of the reddest, ripest
cherries In tho country gone. You'll have
to fire that gun, Miss Traynor, even It
It blows up and kills us both."
Miss Madge walked out with palo face
and trembling limbs, but sho was some
what relieved when a close scrutiny of
tho trees failed to dlscloso a tramp. The
cook must havo Been tho family cat
prowling about. Tho gun must be fired,
however. A lusty robin wants a score of
cherries for a, meal.
"You first lift It up," said the cook.
"Now then, take aim, as they call It."
"At what?"
"At the sky or anything else except
me. That's right. Let It wobble all
over. Tho more It wobbles the moro the
birds will bo frightened. Now your An
ger on the trigger."
"And now what?"
"Shut your eyes and pull."
The directions were obeyed, and half
a hundred robins took to sudden flight,
calling out as they went. Thirty seconds
later there came a human yell, and a
man dropped from one of the trees in
the grass.
"Oh, Heavens, but I've shot a man!"
cried Miss Madge as sho tossed the gun
away and began to wring her hands.
"Only a trump, darllnt only a tramp,
and they don't count. They aro here to
bo shot whenever ono feels like It. He's
a-klcking around bo lively that he can't
be dead. Bit down on the steps and I'll
tako the ax and advance upon the enemy.
If he surrenders, all right; If he don't,
then "
A minute later her voice -was heard
calling and her hand -was eeen beckon
ing, and, aB the perturbed girl slowly
advanced, a young man struggled Into a
sitting position, and, forcing a rather silly
mniie 10 nis ince, no earn:
"I beg pardon for putting you to thlo
trouble."
"Oh, It's no trouble at all to shoot a
tramp, answered the cook as she stood
the ax up against the tree.
'nut I'm not not exactly a tramp,"
replied the trespasser, looking at the girl
as ho said so.
"But you are bleeding you are
wounded!"
"Yes. I think a few of tho dried peas
hit me In the shoulder, but I am more
scared than hurt. If If I could get my
coat off and tho hurt bound up"
And then ho fainted dead away. Tho
cook ran for water and the girl stood
wringing ner nanas and weeping. Then
a passing traveler who saw that some
thing was wrong left his vehicle to In
vestigate, and it was he who helped tho
cook to get the wounded man into tho
house and Into bed and telephoned for
the doctor.
"Uml Who shot him?" aaked the doc
tor when ho had arrived and laid tho
shoulder bare.
"I I did!" was the sobbing reply.
"Buckshot?"
"No-dried peas."
"Well, he won't die, but you'll have
him on your hands for some time to
come. What did you take him for?"
"The cook said ho was a tramp, but
I didn't mean to hit him. I Just aimed
anywnere,
"That's right. Always aim any old
where and you are bound to bring down
something. He'll have his eyes open In
ten minutes and want to talk. There's
a bike out in front, and It must belong
to him. He's no tramp."
"And are wo to go to Jail for shoot
ing him when we didn't mean to?" asked
the cook.
"You'll havo to wait and hear what
he says,"
It was three long hours before Fred
returned. Meanwhile, the cook prepared
and carried In to the victim three kinds
of soup and some tea and toast, and
every urae sne weni in sne nad an apol
ogy for the shooting. As soon as the
shock passed off the young man laughed
at his weakness and wanted to dress and
go on his way, but the cook sternly for
bade. "What kind of a family do you take
Us for?" she demanded, with a sniff
and a snort. "Do you think Wo take a
gentleman for a tramp and shoot him
out of a tree with dried peas and then
send him along to die on the road?
You'll lie right there and have the best
In the house for many a day,"
It was when Fred Anally appeared that
Miss Madge ran to him with the exclama
tion:
"Oh. Fred, you hadn't been gone an
tiuur mien i buui n manr
-ie devil you did! Where's the
corpse i
"Upstairs. It lsn'-t a corpse yet Cook
says it can talk."
Fred went up to the room of the
wounded man and was gone an hour.
When he came down he said to his slstert
"You aro a nice sort of sister to hava!
Nice young man with a rich father sets
out to see the country on his hike. Gets
tired and stops to rest and think he'll
pick a few cherries. You don't even yell
at him. But up with an old shotgun and
bring; him down. Ills name Is Royal
Qrahamme and If you find yourself be
hind the oars "
"And don't cry, darllnt!" soothed the
cook 10 minutes later. "I've read of 100
eases just like this and they all end4
the same way. It's the way Cupid has,
you kupw."
"What way?"
"Why to bring two beating hearts to
tethar lor. life. He'll be out on he veran
da in a week, and then and then '

CHAPTER XXV-(Contlnued).
"TKNOW the girl. She only left the
X house this morning, on, pop, wnans
their game? Arrol tricked me Into tak
ing this girl Maud riessey Into uncte s
house as companion nnd that sort of
thing. It seems they are In love with
each other, and he never said a word
to me about It!" Monty's voice rose to a
wall. "Then when she saw a letter In
his hnndwrlllhg she got mad and I nred
her out. I guess, between them they
were up to mischief, from what you
"When did that letter come?" asked
DereVe eagerly.
"Last night. He said he had seen you
and was going to see you again that
night "
"Have you got that letter still?"
"Why. yes. The letter Is In my reticule
here," replied Monty.
"Give It to me."
Wondering, tho girl obeyed the sharp
command. Her father tore tho letter Into
fragments. "Did you show Eustace the
letter?" he asked.
"No, I never said a word."
"That's all right Don't tell any one
you received It. Mind that. I'm mighty
Interested In what you told me about
Maud Flessey. It was all part of a
aeheme to trap you and trap me,"
Dereve went on hurriedly and heatedly:
"She was here to opy on you. That let
ter was JUst a signal to her to go."
"But what harm can they do you, pop?"
"You'll hear, you'll hear. Don't forget
to tell your uncle about this girl. They
tricked you Into receiving her, eh?"
Monty drove at frantic speed to Vic
toria street. She Imagined Maud Picssey
executing frightful plnns for her own and
her father's destruction, Sho saw now
why Maud had been so ready to leave
her that morning. It had nil been ar
ranged between her and Martin. If It had
not been for her father's promptness no
doubt something frightful would have
happened. Even now It might bo too
late. She applied the brako outswo ncr
uncle's office.
Her father, without waiting for her,
sprang out and rushed into the outer
office. Hearing that his brother was In,
he followed tho clerk Into his presence
Monty bringing up the rear.
Eustace sprang to his feet In surprise.
"Sydl" he cried.
Sydney took his hand. "Have you
heard from Martin Arrol?" ho demanded,
and his brother noticed that ho was
deathly pale,
"Not a line."
"Ooodl" Sydney gave a gasp of relief.
"That man's out to ruin us, Eustace."
Eustace Derevo surveyed his brother
sternly. "I guers you're crazy," ho said.
"Fit down and don't talk like a fool."
Sydney wiped tho perspiration from his
brow" and sat down on the edge of a chair.
Monty leaned over him, breathing hard,
and staring at her undo with a white,
tense face. Eustace walked acroea to tho
door and Bhut it abruptly.
"What in thunder is all this about?"
he demanded testily, "and what's Monty
doing here?"
"well, as it turns out, she's ablo to
supply valuable corroborative evidence to
what I'm going to tell you," Bald his
brother. "You've had a spy in your own
household as well as In your ofllce. Tell
him, Monty."
Monty had been waiting eagerly for tho
moment to speak.
"Yes, uncle," sho began at once In her
shrillest soprano, "It's that girl I thought
bo nice Miss Robinson r.3 sho chose to
call herself. You know who sho was
really? Sho was Maud Plessey."
Eustace, sitting with the air of an ex
amining magistrate In his revolving chair,
looked frowning at tho exclteid pair.
Then his memory enlightened him.
"Maud Plessey? Was sho any relation to
the admiral of whom Arrol spoke tho
man from whom he thought you had got
tho plans?"
"She's his daughter," explained .Sydney,
"and she a In 'league with Arrol."
"See here," exclaimed the exasperated
engineer, "either explain what you are
talking about or lie down on that couch
till you havo got over the effects of
whatever you havo been drinking." Ho
turned sharply to his niece. "Now what
have you to say against Miss Robinson
or MIsj Plessey as It seem she Is? She
seemed to me a real nice girl and Btralght
as a die."
"So I thought," blubbered Monty.
"Well, ain't she?
"N-no! She got Into our house under
falso pretenses. I thought Bho was Rich
ard Arrol's flnancee and It t-turns out
that she she's engaged to hlB b-brother!"
Monty fairly shrieked out tho horrid
truth. Her uncle regarded her beneath
lowering brows.
"Well, that don't sound very serious.
But did you know her real namo when
you engaged her?"
"Yes. It was Richard put me up to It.
He said she had left homo to avoid
marrying some one Bhe hated. He didn't
say she wonted to marry Martin! Oh,
It was real mean. And then when "
She checked herself, remembering her
father's Injunction to say nothing about
the letter "when there weren't any need
tor her to stay any longer she told mo
the truth and left"
Eustaco started. "Left! You don't
mean to say she has quitted you?"
"Yes. This morning. Just before father
came. She was a catl"
Eustace turned a troubled face toward
ii .w7ther' "W'11' l dnt Be8 much ln
oil this, and I don't see where you come
in. anyhow. I'm real sorry tho girl has
left. I liked her and she reminded me
tremendously of poor Aline "
"Poor Aline! Yes, I've got something
to tell you about poor Aline," Sydney In
terrupted. He mi Cfllm nn. thnuo-h ft
trifle pale, and had listened attentively to
his daughters evidence.
His brother stared at him with a look
of mystification. "Aline Miss Plessey
Arrol! who else Is In all this?" he asked
bewildered. "Now you aro a bit calmer,
Byd, let's have the whole story In on In
telligible form."
Monty shot a glance of Inquiry at her
father, She also was unprepared for the
introduction of her aunt's name into the
story the aunt to whom Bho had only
heard the vaguest allusions. She sat down
on the couch and looked expectantly at
her father.
He noticed her expression and consid
ered her for a moment. "I guess you
have heard enough for the present, little
girl," he said. "Your uncle and I are
going to have a serious talk. You run
away and have a look at the stores."
Monty's face fell. Her curiosity had
been roused to the highest pitch, and now,
Just when she was getting nt the heart
of all this mystery, she was to be turned
out of the loom.
"I'd rather stay here," she answered
stubbornly,
Tho tall, melancholy-faced man rose
and, without a word, placed his hands
on her shoulders, "You ain't known me
so long that you've forgotten I'm your
father, I guess. Take a run round, like
a good little girl, and I dare say I'll tell
you all about It when I've had a chat
ttllh TCl!tn((."
"But, pop," protested the girl. He
placed his long, thin hand gently before
her mouth and led her to the door.
Opening It, he pushed her outsiae. -now
don't rile mo!" was his parting Injunc-
" . . . .
Ho closed tho door behind him, locked
It, and turned to his brother, who had
been n silent witness of this exercise of
parental authority "I brought tho kid,"
ho explained, "so's she could tell you
about this other girl-that skunk Pics
sey's daughter."
He sat down, spread out his legs, and
looking thoughtfully beforo him, Joined
his hands. Ills brother wheeled round In
his chair to face him, lit a cigar, and
watted expectantly.
"It's all happened kind of nwkwardly,"
began Sydney, "and the story commences
a long woy back. You remember when
tho old home In Liverpool was broken
up and you went to try your luck In
eoutn America r-
"Why, sure."
"Well, you never saw Allno again, I
reckon."
"Certainly I did not She was about
Monty's age at that time. She died when
I was In the Argentine."
"Well, it was understood that I should
look after her, as you know."
"It was," Eustaco Interrupted, regard
ing his brother grimly. "I parted with
my share In the governor's property on
that precise understanding."
Sydney shifted uneasily and dropped his
eyes. "I guess I did my best. Hut I
couldn't do anything In tho Old Country,
so I Just made tracks for America."
"You took tho girl with you?"
"Sure. I took her to New York and wo
lived thero together a spell. Sho cottoned
to New York did poor l'ttlo Allnc. But I
wroto you about that at tho time."
"It's possible," admitted tho elder
brother laconically. "I was prospecting
In Patagonia about that time, I guess,
and tho mall service- In thoso parts Is
BUbJect to frequent and serious disloca
tions." Sydney smiled dryly. He seemed glad
to hear It. "It's a pity, because I ex
plained very particularly how I stood.
Well, I tried my hand at various things
in New York city and somehow didn't
succeed."
"You wouldn't!"
"Well, it weren't for fault of trvinc. So
when I heard of a good thing ln Mexico
I did my best for Aline and went out to
Sonora."
His brother looked at him from between
half-closed lids. "How old was Aline
then?"
would Involve plas In difficulties. Bo It
did. Anyhow, one day tho rurales came
down on 'em. cut 'em up In style and re
leased me. I posed as ft citizen oi"
United States and got J5000 compensation
you read about that In the newspapers?
and made tracks back to the East."
Eustaco sat down again, knocked off

desk to hide the agitation of his face.
"And you heard, I suppose, tnat Aime
was dead?"
"No. I didn't At first I couldn't hear
about her nt all. I set detectives to work,
end they found that her company had
broken Up, gradually like, dwindling away
bit by bit Aline wa last neara oi "

"Whnt In thunder's name was sho
doing at that unearthly place?" asked
Eustace In amazement.

"Just turning 20, I guess."
"And you left her nlono ln New York?"
Sydney fidgeted. "Well, what else could
I do? I couldn't tako her with me
to Mexico. I left her In a very respect
ablo boarding house. She was quite
content to stay. I Intended to send her
money every week."
"You Intended to, eh? And what about
her own money? the old man left her
nbout BOO pounds. What had become of
that?"
Sydney's face brightened. "Oh, she
had that, of course."
His brother rose from his chair and
walked about tho room. "I don't believe
It," ho said savagely. "You're lying. Syd.
You had taken her money nnd blown It
ln these rotten, wild-cat businesses of
yours." He looked piercingly at the
other. "Tell mo the truth, man, If you
want me to believe the rest of your
yarn."
"I can't He," declared Sydney sullenly
(his brother smiled derisively). "You've
hit It the first time. She had sunk her
capital In a business we ran under our
Joint names "
"And lost It of course. Well, get on. I
don't want to hear about tho business."
Well, I got out to Sonora, and I worked
mighty hard. Eustace, I tell you. But
tho mlno wasn't what It was represented
to be. I saw I'd Btruck n bad streak of
ill-luck. But I stuck to it. I went with
out food and slept out at nights to sava
the few dollars for the little sister In
New York. And then. Just when I was
bust not a red cent to my name comes
