Scrlbner's Son* (Continued) If Miss Baldwin were frightened, she did not show it. Smith jerked the roadster out of the entanglehient of the railroad track and said: "You may sit up now and tell me which way to go. I don't know anything about the roads over here." She pointed out the way across the hills, and a four-mile dash fol lowed. Up hill and down the big roadster raced, devouring the inter spaces, and at the topping of the last of the ridges, in a small, low-lying swale which was well hidden from any point of view in the vicinity of the dam they came upon the inter lopers. There were three men and two horses and a covered wagon, as Martin's telephone message had cata logued them. The horses were still in the traces, and just beyond the wagon a legal mining claim had been marked out by freshly driven stakes. At one end two of the men were dig ging perfunctorily, while the third was tacking the legal notice on a bit of board nailed to one of the stakes. Smith sent the gray car rocketing down into the swale, brought it to a stand with a thrust of the brakes, and jumped out. Once more the primitive Stone Age man in him, which had slept so long and so quietly under the Lawrenceville con ventionalities, was joyously pitching the barriers aside. "It's moving day for you fellows," I ho announced cheerfuly, picking the, biggest of the three as the proper subject for the order giving. "You're ' on the Timanyonl Ditch Company's land, and you know it.. Pile into the wagon and fade away!" The big man's answer was a laugh, | portion to its vigor and at the end of l the order giver was palpably un armed. Smith's right arm shot out, and when the blow landed there were only two to close in on him. In such sudden hostilities the advantages are all with the beginner. Having super ior reach and a good bit more skill than either of the two tacklers, Smith held his own until he could get in a few more of the smashing right handers, but in planting them he took punishment enough to make him Berserk-mad and so practically invincible. There was a fierce ming ling of arms, legs and bodies, suf ficiently terrifying, one would sup pose, to a young woman sitting calm ly in an automobile a hundred yards away. The struggle was short in just pro portion to its vigor an dat the end of it two of the trespassers were knock ed out, and Smith was dragging the third over to the wagon, into which he presently heaved the man as if lie had been a sack of meal. Miss Baldwin, sitting in the car, saw her ally dive into the covered wagon and come out with a pair of rifles. Pausing only long enough to smash the guns, one after the other, over the wagon wheel, he started back after the two other men. They were not waiting to be carried to the wag on; they were up and running in a wide semicircle to reach their hope of retreat unslain, if that might be. It was all very brutal and barbarous, no doubt, but the colonel's daughter was Western born and bred, and she clapped her hands and laughed in sheer enthusiasm when she saw Smith make a show of chasing the circling runners. He did not return to her until af ter he had pulled up the freshly driven stakes and thrown them away and by that time the wagon, with the horses lashed to a keen gallop, was disappearing over the crest of the northern ridge. "That's one way to get rid of them, isn't it?" said the emancipat ed bank man, jocosely, upon taking his place in the car to cramp it for turn. "Was that something like the notion you had in mind?" "Mercy, 110!" she rejoined.

"Not worth mentioning," he evad ed. "Those duffers couldn't hurt any body. so long as they couldn't get to their guns." "But you have saved the company at your own expense.

"Oh, is that necessary?" she asked, meaning, as he took it, nothing more than comradely deprecation at put ting him to the trouble of it. "Not absolutely necessary, per haps, but decently prudent. You might drop me opposite the dam, but you'd have to pass those fellows somewhere on the way, and they might try to make it unpleasant for you." She made no further comment and he sent the car spinning along over the hills to the westward. A mile short of the trestle riv>r crossing they overtook and passea !he wagon. Because he had the colonel's daugh ter With him, Smith put on a burst of speed and so gave the claim Jump ers no chance to provoke another battle. In the maze of crossroads opposite the little city on the south bank of the river, Smith was out of his reck oning, and was obliged to ask his companion to direct him. "I thought you weren't ever going to say anything any more," she sigh ed, in mock despair. "Take this road to the right." "I can't talk and drive a speed wagon at the same time," he told her. twisting the gray car into the road she had indicated, and he made the assertion good by covering the four remaining miles in the same preoccupied fashion. There was a reason, of a sort, for his silence; two of them, to be exact. For one, he was troubled by that haunting sense of familiarity which was still trying to tell him that this was not his first meeting with Col onel Baldwin's daughter; and the other, much bigger and more de pressing, was the realization that in breaking with his past, he had broken also with the world of wom en, at least to the extent of ever ask ing one of them to marry him. He pushed the thought aside, com ing back to the other one —the puzzle of familiarity—when Miss Baldwin pointed to a transplanted Missouri farm mansion, with a columned por tico, standing in a grove of cotton woods on the left-hand side of the road, telling him it was Hillcrest. There was a massive stone portal fronting the road, and when he trot down to open the gates the young woman took the wheel and drove through; whereupon he decided that [ it was time for him to break away, and said so. "But how will you get back to the camp?" she asked. "I have my two legs yet, and the walking isn't bad." "No; but you might meet those two men again." "That is the least of my troubles." Miss Corona Baldwin, like the Mis souri colonel, her father, came upon moments now and then when she had the ultimate courage of her im pulses. "I should have said you hadn't a trouble in the world," she asserted, meeting his gaze level-eyed. The polite paraphrases of the cof fined period were slipping to the end of his tongue but he set his teeth upon them and said, instead: "That's all you know about it. What if I should tell you that you've been driving this morning with an escap ed convict?" "I shouldn't believe it," she said calmly. "Well, you haven't —not quite," he returned, adding the qualifying phrase in sheer honesty. She had untied her veil and was asking him hospitably if he wouldn't come in and meet her mother. Some thing in the way she said it, some lit tle twist of the lips or look of the eyes, touched the spring of complete recognition, and the familiarity puz zle vanished instantly. .(To Be Continued) "The Insider" By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XLVII. , (Copyright, 1917, Star Company.) In spite of the excitement of the day and evening, I slept like a tired child on that first night in the Nor tons' country home. When 1 awoke in the morning the air was sweet with the odor of honeysuckles and roses, and melodious with the songs of birds. I lay entranced, wondering if all these surroundings were not a beau tiful dream from which I must awake. Could it be I, Elizabeth Dart, who lay here in this spacious chamber and exquisite surroundings? Even the memory of the little disputes between the various members of the household and the puzzling problems that I sus pected, did not mar the beauty of the dream. I the world was lovely. I sighed in an ecstacy of happiness. The sound of light footsteps in the dressing-room connecting with the nursery reached me. Grace, who had never come into my room so early before, was stealing in softly. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. I heard her pause, and could keep up the pretense no longer. Opening my eyes, I laughed. • "Oh!" she exclaimed, bursting into a gurgle of merriment, "I just had to come in and see if you was awake." "Were awake," I corrected. "Were awake," she repeated. "Please, may I cuddle down here by you for just a little minute?" "Indeed you may." T held out my arms to her. "What waked you up?" "The birds —and all the nice things" she informed me. "Oh, Miss Dart,' don't you love it out here?" "Of course I do!" I declared. "It s the loveliest place I was ever in, and we'll have a beautiful summer —won't we. little girl?" "Yes," she answered, nestling closer to me and fairly wriggling with de-, light. After a few minutes' talk I re marked that it was almost time to be up and dressing. "We have breakfast earlier here than in town, you know," I reminded her. "You remember auntie told us so last night." "Yes," she said, "because Daddy's sot to catcli a train to the city. Only on Wednesdays and Saturdays all summer he stays out here. I like those days."
