Think how he fooled me. Think bow lie has misled me! Think jf the lie that he lived and compelled aie to live? Where shall I linil trutli n bis career? And. if I find it. how shall I recognize it? Do you wondei that ram beside myself? Do you won der that I fear to speak lest I will shriek aloud with a rage that is as im potent as a particle of dust in a whirl wind? Tell me, Erna, who besides your self Is aware of this secret that we share?" "Nobody, Lisle," ga-ped Erna. "Does not your father know?" "Nobody knows but me." She told the falsehood tremblingly, but with de cision, for she already stood in more awe of this strange woman than she feared the consequences of a harmless lie. "1 am glad of that," commented Lisle, and Erna breathed a sigh of re lief for the lie that she had told and in recollection of the fact that she had al ready warned her father that he was not to appear to know the truth until Informed that he could do so. She had attended to that when sin- ran to him Just before Lisle went out with her to the grove of pines. "I am very glad of It. I will tell him the truth myself aft er a little, when I have become calm er." "Calmer? \ou are calm now. Lisle, frightfully calm!" exclaimed Erna. "True; 1 am frightfully calm. That exactly expresses it. It Is the calm ness of despair, of rage, of rebellion, of ; a torrent of water, mightily d-op, which runs smoothly up :i tlie surface, i but which Is carrying the uuiverse : along with it in its silent depths. That Is the calmness that I feel. Do you think that your father will consent to : remain here with me for a few days?" , "He shall do so whether he consents i or not. I'll make him do it!" Then. ' noticing the expression of wonder that came into Lisle's eyes, she added: "Of course hew ill consent. He never re- { fuses me anything, and iu this case I : think he will propose it anyway." "I will lie very grateful. Tomorrow or the day after I must tell him what I uu. I must beseech him to advise tne, and"— "I know what you most do. Y'ou must leave this ranch and all that con cerns It !u the care of your men and return to Kansas City with me. There iu my home"— Lisle raised one hand In protest. "It Is kind," she said, "but it cannot l»e so at present, l have much to learn before I will consent to face the world. You forget the long years of training that must be overcome before I can hope to acquire the rudiments of the new life that 1 must live. Already 1 know much that you have uot told me. The life that I must begin is entirely different from the life that I leave be hind me when I assume the garb that you wear and appear before the world for what I really am a woman. God, how I bate it! What would happen if I should go with you now? I would discover Insults iu compliments; 1 would mistake deliberate offenses for favors. Ever since I was old enough to hold a pistol In my band I have been taught to resent affronts with bullets. Would you have in.• murder your best friends? No; my place is here until 1 can go elsewhere with the freedom that knowledge alone can Impart. I am neither one thing nor the other now. lam neither man nor woman. 1 ani a monstrosity a freak a thing! Here you respect me; there you would despise me. ll ere I am master; there I would Ik* nothing' Here, for awhile at least, 1 can still be a man; there— faugh! Let us goto your father. Then, when I have talked with him, 1 will ride out to meet Craig Thompson." Mr. Thomas walked out upon the veranda with Lisle at her request. "Everything lias lieen attended to, or Is tieing done. Lisle," he said, adopting the given name iu preference to using a pronoun which he did not know how to select. "Your men that is, those who have not been sent out on errands have proved themselves extremely ef ficient In every way, and iu an hour" "I thank you. sir. I do not care for the details. It Is very kind of you to oversee everything. Perhaps hit* r I will know better how to express my appreciation, .lust now" "Not a word! Not a word. I.>■!•.. Why, 1 feel already as If I had kn AVII you always. I'll go ahead just as though I had, and now . If you w ill take my advice, you will get on your I i and go for a good ride, it will do you good ~ of It! Take the word of r| Thomas o. Thomas for that." CHATTER Xlll. K "THIN'T UO HACK ON I'll Kl>l A t> MAN !" 112 llAlii THOMTSON, with the | 1 bridle of a led horse In Ids V'#• -j grasp and with three men | similarly provided accotnpa £ n\ing him, was riding with all speed toward Maxwell's ranch. Already half 3 the distance of ;t<> miles had been cov i | ered, and already he had changed horses twice, urging them to their ut -9 : most effort, Impatient, silent, dogged. Before him, not half a mile awav. was a rise of ground, more lofty than the t, otln is, ami as he spurred his animal to wai ! it a horseman emerged from the blank beyond and halted upon Its crest, silhouetted against the sky. Even at that distance Craig recognized the rltl- II er. and, rising in his stirrups, he waved i hi- hat in greeting. The salutation was e returned The half mile which sepa •j rated the men was quickly traveled, . and tin galloping party came to a halt. N i "Ride on ahead, boys," ordered Craig, [. ] addressing his companions. "I'll trail i along behind with the kid. We'll get { there soon enough, I reckon, since Lisle is out here to meet us. Is It true. Lisle, L i that Tom Thomas and his girl are r there?" i "Yes. They are at the house." "That's all right. You skip along, boys, and don't mind us. We'll Jog along at a slower pace. Lord, kid, but It was lucky that I was home. 1 hadn't been there iiiore'n an hour either when i I'ete rode up with the news. No foul 112 play, was there. Lisle?" t "No." i "Just turned up his toes without a word, eh? Hrokc your heart, too. eh? ' mil np dere let me look at yon. ' What's the matter with you. lad? That nin't all grief that I see In your face. There's something else there. What makes yout eyes blaze so? You look just as you ditl when you drew that j bead on Jim Cunimings while your 1 ritlicr arm was held fast to your body ' by the rope." 1 "I feel very (jiuch the same as 1 did fheii. Craig." respondetl Lisle "I am in very much the same position with I 1 the difference that 1 cannot see an en emy to tire at. Let us rest here awhile. I have something to tell you." They did not leave their saddles, but *at vis-a-vls. Lisle with her back to- : ward the ranch, Craig facing it and ! studying with manifest care the loping of the horses which bore the three men who had ridden on ahead. He consid- ; ered it best not to speak again until his ! young friend had tolil what there was to say. "Craig," saitl Lisle presently, "you have regartled me as rather a q leer specimen of a boy ever since we first met. There is something concerning , me that must be told, something that 1 wish to tell you, something that just now 1 could not tell to any other per- \ sou something which you must retain j as a secret in your own heart until I j give you permission to reveal it and, j above all, something concerning which you must advise and direct me." "Lot it go, lad; I'm listening." "I am a woman. Craig." Thompson tlitl not move a muscle of j his body except those which controlled . his visual organs. He turned his eyes I slowly until they rested upon the face j of Lisle, and then, with marked delib eration. but undoubted emphasis, he ' said: "You don't mean it!" "I am a woman, Craig." "Who told you?" "Miss Thomas." "How did she know it?" "1 do not exactly know. When my— when Richard Maxwell died, I fainted. She revived me. and"— "1 know the rest. Does Tom Thomas know?" "Not yet." Thompson did not speak again for a moment or two The muscles of his Hiving l)i his stirrups, he waved hlstuitln greeting. face were working, however, as though he were thinking words which he did not care to utter. "Did you know It, Craig?" asked Lisle suspiciously. "Know it? No! How should I know it? What do you think I am—a elair voyant?" "T.ut you believe it now, do you not?" "Of course I believe it. How could I help believing it? The only wonder Is that I was such an idiot as not to s:>e it at once. I ought to have seen It.and now, viewed in the light of understand ing, 1 suppose 1 did see it without rec ognizing it. When 1 first came to tins God forsaken country, 1 used to pros peet for goltl over there In the Sierras, and I've picked up pay dirt and chuck ed it away again a good many times without knowing what It was. That's Just how it was this time. Well, kid, before we go any deeper into this sub ject, I've got just one thing to say— I'm going to be father and mother and brother and sister and t he hull Idling lot of relatives to you from this on, with out regard to conventionalities, and fir the present, while I turn this thing over in my mind two or three times, I'm going to think, and while I'm thinking I'm going to treat you as 1 al ways have just as If you were a boy ami lastly, before I speak very decid edly on the subject, I'm going to have a talk with Miss Erna Thomas. She's a whole team with a boss behind and a dog under the wagon. Let's ride ou." There was silence between them aft er that, neither speaking until the ranch was before them; then It was Craig Thompson who spoke. "I brought Hank Smith along with me," be saitl. lie's handy with tools and can make a cofiin In a jiffy. Where shall we break ground?" "It makes uo difference to me." "I mean where do you want the old man burled?" "I understood you. 1 do not care. Bury him where you please. It Is all the same to me." "Humph! Look here. Lisle, I under stand how you feel, but you don't want to do anything now that you'll be sorry for later on, and it ain't fair to try and convict a man without hearing him In his own defense. Dick Maxwell's gone where he can't be heard, and 1 don't be lieve that you are made of the sort of ' stuff that's going to hit a man when I lie's down—leastwise that ain't exactly the way that I sized you up." ' "What ilt> you want me to do?" "Your duty, not to lilin particularly, If you don't like It that way, but to yourself and to others to nu\ to the cowboys on your raneh and to the world. It's the worst kind of a cow ard that turns tail at a time like this. You no to your room and wait for me. Think It over. V man may have lota of reasons for dolus things, and they may be of the sort that lie can't ex plain, but there's one thin, thai is dead certain, and that is that every son and every daughter In the world hits got a credit as well as a debit account in the names of the old folks, and any body who won't study both sides of the ledger before making out the balance sheet ain't lit to be mentioned in polite society, and. Lisle, the only really po lite society In the world is the one that's made up of honest people." Lisle reached out one hand and rest ed it upon the arm of her friend. "You are right, Craig," she said. "There is no need for me to think It i»ver. You have done that for me iu the few words that you have uttered. He fore you leave me, however, there is one question which I must ask you." "What is it, kid?" "I)o you degpise me because I am a woman? Tell me truly do you despise me?" "Lisle, the man never lived who honestly despised women as a class. Here and there one man may have despised and hated one woman or two or a dozen—but all of 'em? Not much! j 'Tain't natural, and God Almighty nev- j er made one of us that way." "My father did." "Not on your life, Lisle. The best ; proof that you are wrong Is the fact j that he hid himself away from 'em all i the way he did. lie did that because ' he loved 'em so that he didn't flare to | go where they were for fear that his i pride would give into human nature, j It's more than likely that one woman ! has deceived him somehow, and he got j on his ear, just as you have done at | him. There wasn't any old critter like ! Craig Thompson around to tell him the i difference 'tween tweedledum and tweedledee. You just make out that j balance sheet and look it over, and if you don't find more to your dad's credit i than you've got ag'in him I'll eat it." "But you have not replied to my question, Craig." "Ain't I? Well, I'll answer it now. i It don't make no difference to me or to any other man whether a human crit- j ter's a man or a woman. It's the crit- j ter, not the sex, that we look at. No- | body will ever be despised by any body if he or she is honest and true. ! Those are the biggest words in the die- ■ tionary of human conduct, 'cause they ; mean the most. As for my despising you because you're a woman, the idea Is infernal rot. When I despise a per- ; son, that person's pretty apt to know j It 'thout asking questions on tho sub- ! ject. Look here, Lisle; I wasn't in-1 tending to talk any more to you till after I had a chance to turn things over in my mind, but I'll say this: j You're facing a situation that looks a j heap sight bigger to you than it does ; or ever will to anybody else. You have found out that you are a woman with- j out knowing what a woman is. and you sorter feel as if you was walking round arm in arm with your own giiost. ; You've met a stranger that you can't git away from for the rest of your . You've got to get acquainted, and tho i sooner you get on familiar terms with yourself the better for all concerned, j If you had been picked up and carried away and suddenly put down again on another planet, you couldn't have been in a much worse tlx than you are now, but I reckon you'd flud the inhabitants of the other place sort of decent, and you'll find 'em so here. 1 think that between Tom Thomas, Erna and me we can set you on the right road all right, but you've got to remember that you can't jump onto your boss and ride from here to my ranch in half an hour. If you do it in three, you're rid ing mighty fast, and you know it. So you see you can't expect to know every thing that concerns this transformation of yours in a holy minute. It ain't the future that's puzzling me; It's the pres ent. I'll have a talk with Tom and his daughter, and bimeby we'll look over Dick's papers and things. The doini- 1 nie'll be here about sundown, and we'll i have the funeral and plant your guv'- 1 nor in the morning.and tomorrow night i after the rest have gone to bed you and t me and maybe Tom will sit down In the library and talk it over. In the t meantime I'll be doing some think- t lng, and you can tote Erna around the i place and show her things and talk, i Tom and 1 will manage everything. t Y'ou Jest leave that to uo. Y'ou keep j /M 'H "Fou arc rlyht," said Lisle. your bead up and be a man yet awhile. Don't let anybody see tliat things are any different, and for the rest put your elbow on Craig Thompson's shoulder and lean there, and, lastly, don't go back on the dead man." He turned away abruptly and left Lisle alone, for they had brought their horses to a halt close beside the corral. CHAPTER XIV. LISLE'S RESOLUTION. ("J TISLE MAXWELL followed I f the advice given to her by Craig Thompson, and during >■** ***•] the remainder of tliat day nnd the ofie succeeding it she kept much in the society of Erna, save at those intervals when her presence was required < '.sewhere. The friendship Degtm so strangely ripened rapidly, and at Emu's request they occupied trie same room, so that their opportunity for tiic exchange of confidences was manifold. The servants were quarter ed in an adjacent building, and from them and froui the cowboys employed upon the ranch the secret of Lisle's Identity was kept, nor were the minis ter and the do- tor made more wise After the funeral Craig called Lisle to him and conducted her to the libra ry. "We've been through Dick's papers,"* he said, "and everything Is as ship shape as It could be. I found a letter addressed to me, written the same day that I went away from here after the round up. 1 reckon maybe Dick thought tie might shuttle off without much warning, and he did. Something that I said to him that day weighed on his mind, I reckon, and he appointed me kimihl inn pro torn, ills will ami everything coiioerulng his business in In tin l hands til" a lawyer in the east In New York city a feller named Dan Maxwell. Did yon ever hear of hlinV" "Never." "Well, I suspect he's some relation, though 1 don't know. Anyhow I'm to notify him of Dirk's death, and he'll do the rest, and the old man wanted me to BtHj here with you till Dan Maxwell's arrival. The letter tells me about your being a girl and says that Iran use my own judgment about telliug you he fore Dan Maxwell gets here, but It doesn't say a word about any reasons for the way he brought you up, and it doesn't explain a tiling except what I have told you, only that the lawyer has full instructions how to act and that you are rich enough to do as you please for the rest of your life." "Let me see the letter," said I.isle quietly. It was given her, and she read it through to the end, finding no more ami no less than Craig had told her. l'ut when she returned it to him she said: "It is my wish, Craig, that you should all go away and leave me here alone for a time. Ido not even want you to write to this lawyer until I give you permission to do so." Thompson shook his head in a decid ed negative, but the calm, clear voice went on unheedingly. "It must be so, Craig, whether you approve of it or not. I will have it so. I wish to be left here utterly aloue un til 1 send for you to come, and I com mand that you do not communicate with the lawyer In the east until I tell yon to do so." "It's all uonsense. Lisle. Don't you see that it is?" "No, and it would make no difference if I did." "Well, let me stay here with you any way." "No." "Keep Erna Thomas with you, then." "No." "Let us both stay, or, if you don't want me, I can prevail upon Tom to re main with his daughter." "No. Craig, no. If I permitted any body to remain, it would be you, but 1 must be alone. 1 will be alone." "I'll ride over to see you once in the while anyway." "No, not at all unless I send for you." "You're a headstrong critter if you are a gal. Lisle." "Perhaps so. I do not mean to he unkind, Craig. There Is nobody in the world in whom I have as much confi dence as I have in you, but even you must leave me alone for awhile. I have learned that leopards can change their spots, but they cannot change thein all at once." "Humph! What are you up to any how?" "I do not know—yet." "You won't go away? You'll stay here on the ranch, won't you?" "I will do nothing of which you will not ultimately approve." "Promise me that you won't go away," persisted Craig, who was In despair. For almost the first time in his life lie found himself in the pres ence of a person whose will was stron ger than his own. Instead of dominat ing, as lie had expected to do, he was dominated. "1 will make you one promise aud only one," replied Lisle calmly. "With that one you will have to be satisfied, or 1 will end the discussion here. 1 will, at the end of two months from I now, goto you or send for you on con dition that during that time you will make no effort to see me or to send a messenger to me. It must be as I have said. Tomorrow morning you will take ! our friends to your ranch, leaving me ; here as if nothing had happened. At the end of two months, if not before, j you will hear from me or see me—two 1 months from today." "Well, Lisle. It's got to be done, I ' suppose, but I call it blamed unkind. I'll have a lit that'll last two solid mouths, you see, and God knows how many dead men you'll have to answer for in that time, for I'll have to shoot somebody just to let off steam, and If you are so anxious to get rid of us we can start tonight; there'll be a moon." He turned to leave the room, and Lisle's brows contracted with pain. She sprang to his side and detained him with a gesture that was more nearly feminine than anything she had ever done. "Don't leave me In auger, Craig," she said. "Vou promised out there ou the plain to be father and mother to me. I never needed you so much as I need you now, but for the present, un til 1 have learned to know myself, you Jnust remain at a distance. I do not tnow why 1 feel that it must be so, but l. do, and it must be, even If you are lugry. You won't go away before uioruing, Craig?" "No." lie left her alone then; not In anger, but in something that so closely resem bled it in outward appearance that any other than Lisle would have been de reived, but there was a smile upon her face, for she knew that she had eou juered where she had feared defeat. Her plans were thor uglily mapped out, and the only Impediment to their frui tion had ceased to exist. "Erna," she said later, when they were alone in their room together, "I want to ask you some strange ques tions." "For goodness sake, don task them. If they are any stranger than the ones you asked me the night of my arrival. I do not know trow how 1 stood up un der them, thinking that you were a n> "Don't I cave me in anger, Craig." man. P.ut. then, you were not like oth er men e\e ll then. What have you got on your mind now?" "llow ilo you get your clothes?" "llh'r l'ap:i gels them for me that Is, he pay*. In.- thetn." "1 mean woe re < » you get them?" "At the dressmaker's, of course." "1 >o I liey cost much ?" "Ask papa. He says they cost a for tune." "What is a dressmaker?" "Why. a dressmaker Is a woman who makes dr< ;scs and things. You have togo to the stores and do your shop ping. you know, and It's great fun. Then \>;ii take what you have bought 1 to your dressmaker, and she cuts and tits and makes. There are men dress makers, too, but I prefer a woman." "Dressmakers live In cities, do they not?" "Certainly, You'll liml tin m every where where women live, but you must be sure to g>t a good one. Heavens, what a figure you have not to tit! It's Just perfect. Mrs. Gusset would no wild over it. Itut If I were you 1 wouldn't worry about dresses. I've got a plan In my head for you." "What is It, Krna V" "I'll take your waist and bust meas ure, and so forth, and when I get back to Kansas «'lty I'll have something made up that will do. I'll send the things on, and then you come to tut*. They'll do to travel In, you know, and when you net to Kansas City I'll put you In the hands of Mrs. Gusset, and she'll tlx you out In no time." "Very well, Erna," replied Lisle, with a sigh. "I will write to you when I am ready." In the morning Lisle bade her new friends goodby. Mounted on her fa vorite horse, she rode part of the dis tance with tliein, and after they sepa rated she sat upon her horse, shading her eyes with her hands and watching them for a long time. At last she wheeled her horse and dashed back again toward her own home, and for the first time in her life she felt utterly alone. The following day, alone, she rode away from the ranch.

The lncretis lng difficulty of obtaining girls willing to do domestic labor makes these in e vita hie. A recent co operative cookery ven ture has been made at Decatur, Mich This differed from others In the fact that it was men Instead of women who first proposed It and who advocated It most warmly. The ladies came In a little later. For men ami women to work together Is good for both The groundwork of the plan was similar TUK CO-OPERATIVE DIKING ROOM, to those ulready in operation—a central kitchen and dining room where neigh borly families met aud took their meals In common, families having little ta Oles to themselves. Mr. L. G. Stewart, a merchant, origi nated the cooperative cookery idea at Decatur, lie told his thought to the postmaster. Mr. White, and they con ferred with the local editor, Mr. A. L Moulton. and others. Mr. Stewart's first thought had been to provide a noon luncheon for business men who did not have time togo home. On this scheme the enterprise was begun and afterward enlarged. A vacant shop building was found which would eou tain the kitchen and (lining room, and operations were begun. Presently twen ty-five families Joined the organization and 100 persons were taking their meals In the common dining room. Two cook? did most of the work. An executive committee of five, com posed of men and women, managed the affair for thirty days, nt the end of which time another five were chosen, and so on. This method gives oppor tunity for experience to all. Institutes a friendly rivalry and prevents methods and menu from running into ruts The cost of meals is astonishingly low. The first week it averaged cents, the second week b). A specimen menu shows that the co-operators are quite up to date In the modern hygienic scheme of avoidiug meat and other heavy foods for breakfast. The sam ple breakfast Dill of fare includes eggs, a cereal preparation, fried potatoes, cookies or doughnuts and coffee or chocolate. For dinner the co-operative menu in cludes two kinds of meat, two kinds of vegetables and bread, two desserts, nll Inviting to the palate. The first re sult noted was that the same food cost less under the co-operative plan than wh»n it was bought and cooked In each separate family kitchen. Two cooks and one fire served for all It was. besides, possible to buy supplies at wholesale rates There was another advantage that a woman appreciates better than anybody else It was that of not having so much cold roast left over. In the small family this be comes a nightmare to the economical housekeeper. She uses it cold for luncheon, she makes a stew of It for dinner and frequently hashes It over for breakfast, and yet It remains. But with the cooperative dining system even a large roast may be disposed of. A great advantage likewise of tho com mon kitchen and dining room system is the amount of time and annoyance that are saved to tiie homemaker herself She has leisure to look after her chil dren and to cultivate her mind. The Decatur co-operative dining room was a pretty one from the beginning Each family brought Its silverware and they took turns In furnishing the table linen. Each lady took pains to make her own table sightly with a vase of flowers In the center. In an other way such a plan would work well That carelessness as to hair and attire which even some good women permit themselves to slump into at meals In the presence of only their own husbands and children would not for a moment be Indulged in at the co operative dining room and in that re syect it would be a clear blessing MARCIA CAMPBELL. .\ot CnrfKiionakle. There lives In a Massachusetts town a young woman whose courtesy never deserts her, even In the most trying moments. Not long ago she stood swaying back and forth, holding to a strap in a crowded electric car ou a rainy day. A young man who stood next her had a dripping umbrella, with which he emphasized his remarks to a friend. As he pounded It down on the floor of the car an expression of anxiety gradu ally deepened on the young woman's face, and at last when the umbrella had become quiet for a moment she spoke. "1 beg your pardon," she said in a clear, calm tone. "I am sorry to trou ble yon. but could you kindly change your umbrella to my other foot for a moment so ttint I may empty the water out of my rubber shoe In which the umbrella is now fastened?" The Anchor. "Sailors are awful forgetful, alnt they?" asked little Elsie. "Why, what makes you think that'/" Inquired her papa. "Because every time they leave a place they have to weigh their anchor. If they weren't forgetful, they'd re member the weight."—Exchange. MOHE LIV itS AF'E SAVED ...BY I'KINO... Dr. King's dew Discovery, • KOIt..
