At the sound of a faint call, Old Man Ashburn hastened within the building. Prescatly he appeared, dragging care- fully behind him a splint-bottomed rocking-chair, in which reclined the wasted form of little Chip, Ashbura’s crippled daughter. At sight of her, the impulsive cowboys waved their broad hats and went through the motions of shouting lustily, But wery little sound came from their dis- tended mouths, “Hello, boys!” the little eripple salated, weakly. “I jest couldn't stay in there any longer when I heard you all talking. Pa didn't want me to come, but I told him—u" ‘She 'lowed,” interrupted Ashburn, “that she'd come out yere if she'd to crawl on her hands sa’ knees; an’ I veckon she'd —" “You bet she'd a.done it!" broke in Santa Fe, “That's what she'd a-done,” Reddy Rose. *‘How nice the sunshine seems!” said the little cripple. “I’ve been a-thinkin’ often that mevby I'd wever git out into it ag'in to run an’ ride as I ust to.

His brown cheek was close to her pale one. “An’ who, Chip?” he whispered. “An' you, Posy,” she answered, softly, “Boys,” Old Man Ashburn was saying as Posy rejoined the group about the door, “things look mighty black. She's a-saflerin’ an’ a sufferin’ an’ Posy rushed to his cayuse, flung him. sell into the saddle, and dashed away across the prairie, fol'owed by his com. rades, agreed “Ort “you girl “I want to stay and see the "” “I couldn't stand it,” he told them, as the ponies bounded away to the east ward, ‘4 jest couldn't stand to hear that pore ole cuss a tellin’ of little Chip &-gettin' nearder an’ nearder death, an’ Be, her dad. not able to help her “Bay, * said Sante Fe, suddenly, ‘we “You bet!” interruped Posy. ‘‘We art, an’ we will dou”? “Thar comes Hank I" broke in Reddy as the little mules and faded buck.

The yells of recognition with which they greeted | Hank, while still rods away, sent a great thrill of terror through the old geutle- man, *“Tell them who I am!” he whispered, hoarsely. ‘‘Tell them I am a man of peace bound on an errand of mercy!" “Ill do the best I kin,” roturned Hank, with an inward convulsion, “But it's mighty risky business! pizon, plumb pizon!” As the cowboys circled about the buckboard the passenger almost gave up hope. *“Tell them!” he whispered to Hank, That worthy, with a tremendous wink at Santa Fe, called out: “Don’t be brash, boys!

As the cowboys reached this decision the party was within a hundred yards of Ashburn's post office. “Doe,” said Posy, stop yere a while.” The physician's air of gratified pro- fessional pride was instantly superseded by fear, “0k, geatiemen, spare me!” he qua- vered. “I will not wear it again if you object to its appearance |” *“"Pearasce uv what!” Fe. “My hat-—‘plug,’ I think you call it!” Hank Bitters threatened to explode with delight, but the cowboys never even smiled The physician was so loath to leave the veh cle that he had to be dragged out by force. “Take it easy, Doc,” soothed Posy. “We don't mean no harm!” Dr, Bristow, little reassured, mentally anathemati‘ed the day he left his city home to throw himself into the clutches of these white savages, “Doc,” pegan Posy, “kin you cure a girl what's mighty nigh dead fram bein’ throwed from a cayuse!” Dr. Bristow's professional instinct got the better of a portion of his fears, ” ”" “you'll have to asked Santa *“I think I can safely say I can, sir, if a cure is possible,” he said.

Ashburn followed him out of doors, and Dr. Bristow was alone with his patient, The cowboys were very grave when the physician reappeared. ‘‘Gentlemen ——" he began, “Means you an’ Sant, I reckon, Posy,” said i eddy Rose “*“What'li it be with little Chip, Doe?" asked Posy. “Although her case is extremely pre- carious,” replied the physician, detiber- ately, ‘‘with proper nursing and the care of a skilled. physician, she can be restored to health.

When the operation wes over and the crisis past, the great physician tot. | tered through the door and fell fainting i into Posy's arms. ‘She is safe!” he gasped, as he opened | his eyes, As if moved by a common impulse, the cowboys mounted their cayuses and galloped off across the praine at whirl wind speed. Two miles away they halted, and gave vent to their rejoicing in yells both loud and long. A month latter, when little Chip was able to hop about quite smartly on her crutches, Dr. Bristow asked of Posy, of whom he seemed to stand in dreadful fear, if he might leave for his Eastern home on the following day. “But, Doe, 1 thought you was keen to go out on the Cimarron” Nothing wus further from Dr, tow’s desire. He told himself that if he could but return home, it would take a most powerful attraction indeed to draw him away from it, Santas Fe and Old Man Ashburn held several mysterious conferences, in which Posy was vot invited to take part.

Posy stared in wonder at the group, but from the way little Chip smiled and blushed, it was evidently not at all a mystery to her. “Posy,” began Santa Fe, awkwardly, “I want to say fer me an’ the boys an’ Ole Man, yere, that we ‘low we know how you an' Chip feel towards each other, an'—an’ —" “We reckon you both show mighty good taste,” broke in Reddy Hose. “Koowin' this,” went on Santa Fe, we that is--you-wal-you're goin’ to git married yere an’ now, an’. an’ yere's yer weddin' present from me an’ the boys!
