By ROGER BIRCH "Robin," said Bally, her face close to mine. "Yes, Sally." "Don't go; everything la lone some." "Robin Cowner haa aiven the J word of an honest gentleman of the road to meet the coach at I tonight." Gently I put her from me. She brushed away a tear, then, brighten ing: "I'll go, too." "A petticoat to fight the king's guards?" "Petticoat, no; coat and breeches, yes." "Too dangerous, Sally. Walt till the coach goes unguarded." "Robin, you have taught me the sword; you know my mettle. If you think me a coward, go and find i woman who Isn't." "Pardon me, Sally! Come along! I'll get a horse. I borrowed a fine roan and we gal loped, ahe alde-aaddle, to Forest Inn. The lads wore aerlous faces. It was a bad job, yet, If we won, we could quit the road for a year, ao great waa the stake. "Our newest member," I aaid In troducing Sally. Giles laughed and welcomed her, but aome sneered until they caught my eye. Mine host, Harlow, found a cava lier's suit that fitted Sally bo she looked like a boy, but no boy ever showed fair face that valored me for deeds of auch daring. "The best steel In the company, boy," aald Giles, handing her a blade, aa a dozen of us galloped Into South combe forest. The lada caught the name "boy" and called her do other. Dud Hobart had been raised to command of the troops sent with the coach from Edencourt to guard the klng'a gold. We would put a prank on him, bo, at a spot bnrled deep In the gloom, we cut the trunk of a tree till it was nearly ready to fall. We waited amid shadows. The riders came on. Our horses, well trained, moved not an ear. The troopers bad juat passed the weak ened tree, when a couple of lads put shoulder against It and It fell eraahlng across the highway, cutting off troopers from coach. You may believe there waa scram bling. The troopers wheeled, but their horses would not go through the thick branches. The noodles tumbled over each other out of the coach. When they looked Into a dozen black masks they made dismal noise. It looked an easy job. I climbed Into the coach and rolled out kegs of gold. . Now, It happened that aome one (I can't believe It waa dullpate Dud) bad put on rear guard, which came dashing up and set up my cullies Juat when Dud's fellows, having dis mounted, came to the rescue of the (old. Outnumbered two to one, my lads never had more furloua fighting, Dud espied me and pumped for the coach door to cut me through aa I bent to pass out. Bally, quick eyed for my safety, engaged him. Too agile for him, ahe pricked him and got away from every slash. It eonld not last long. He waa too ponderous, her aword arm too much a dainty woman's. He aaw me near Ing, gave a aavage lunge at Sally to make her skip back, then turned upon me. Now bappend a woman's trick which I still laugh at. Sally's arm weary, ahe cast down weapon, and being behind Dud, next Instant had both handa In hia hair woman's most natural way of fighting. Men brave to face death cannot endure being pulled bald. Sally jerked sharp ly with one hand, then the other, and very jerk made Dud wince. ' He backed and aha iteered him toward the trees, where Kit and the roan stood. Gripping a keg under each arm, I followed, ready to uae aword If Dud broke away. I signaled a lad to grip more kegs, thea whistled them all Into the for est. Three bad been cut down. Half the klng'a men were on the ground. Once we were among the treea, the traps were afraid to follow. "Let go Dud's hair, boy," I aald to Bally. "He's my prisoner." "Where with him?" "To Forest inn." "And then?" "Petticoats for him." Sally and I escorted Dud back to Edencourt, be strapped to bis hone and his hands tied behind. Boldly we dashed Into town at full gallop, hitched hia horse to a post la the public square and aped away, leav ing townsmen and girls to make mer ry at his plight. To this day Dud Is hunting for the boy that made him Into a woman. Prepared for the Wo rat "Good gracious, old man," ex claimed Aacum, "what sort of a suit la that?"
