"Kurt is surely entitled to know it all," replied Mis. Kingdon. "I suppose he i, though I wih he didn't know as much as be already does. It isn't necessary to tell him to night, is it? I am still tired in spite of my long rest." "Tomorrow will do. If you like I will tell bim, and I wish you and he would leave the entire matter about Jo nnd all In my hands." "Most gladly," assented Ten. "Hut where is Jo?" j. "He is on a neighboring ranch temporarily only." . " "There is something else I should like to know. Why is Kurt o different from most men?

CHAPTER IV AS. -TVal S on the day previous, Pen awoke I an early hour. She lav quiet foi a moment, sensing to the full the deliciousness of being cozily submerged in i.oft. warm roermgs that protected her from the irisp. keen hill winds that were sweeping into her room. "The air MnelU as if it tame right off the snow," she thought, as she drew on some fur-bound slippers and wrapped herself in a Navajo blanket that was on the footrail of her bed. Then she crossed the room, climbed up on Ihe big seat under the casement window and looked out. It was not the thrilling beauty of the covey of pink-lined dawn-clouds that' made her ejes grow round, big and bright; that brought n faint flush to i her cheeks; a quick intake of breath It was something much more mundnne that held her attention the supeib spectacle of Kuit Walters, mounted, . ,.. i i.,mnn'.,t ,. i.;.

Suddenly and psychologically the eyes (of the rider were lifted to the case- ment window. Pen waved her hand fell from her shoulders. The Indian brown of his face reddened darkly; a gleam came into his steel-gray eyes. He made a military motion toward his hat brim with his whip and then rode swiftly away, without the backward and upward look which she was expect ing. "The boss is a bashful boss." she thought, with a1- laj little pout, as she shook off the blanket, flung her slippers free and went back to bed. "He's good to look at, but oh, you comfortable cot!"

Pen had a sense as of something lifted "A reprieve for a week, and I can haie a beautiful time with uobodv nigh to hinder," she thought. "I had a nairow escape from a real sheriff. Luck is with me. and no mistake!" "You will feel lost without Kuit at the helm, won't jou, Louis?" asked Mrs. Kingdon. "And Jo awSy, too." "Westcott returned Jo this morning.

With the exception of Louise Strand all the girls had come out juft to enjoy their" i vacation. But with Louise it was ult fercnt.

A message for Fairy Billy and Fairy Peggy," cried Homer Pigeon, rushing up and dropping a dote at Peggy's feet. This is what bIio read when she opened It: "From Penelope to Fairy Billy and Fairy Peggy; Ij have escaped again (rom my room Jn, i the tower.
