I Bobby Ellis j ?If ' ^ Ey " Crace Kcrrig?^^^ | (OoftfTUitat, ID 12, bf Associated UK*a*y PresaJ Helen trembled when Booby Ellis 'detached himself from the wait-flow ers at the schoolhouse dance and slouched across th? door toward her. He crooked his olboW and Jerked his hoad in a stiff how. In Salt Petra Creek thia pantomima ' was the custo mary invitation to dance. ?r ?. Tho girl glanoed acr?es th? room aod .breathed a sigh of relief when she saw\hat -her father's broad back was turned toward them. Bobby Bills not ed the heel tallou and smiled tolerant ly. Helen's hand sllnped into his arm and in another moment they were waltzing to the strains of violin and comet. Bobby's arms clasped her closely and she could feel the heavy thumping of bis brave heart "I expect your pa will be^k?nd of wrathy about this dance, but there waa something I had to c&? to you," Bald Bobby presen tl y. "I dont core if he ts-fa?t cooe," said Helen recklessly. "That's a proper spirit, my giri," ap proved Bobby. "He still holds you to your promise to marrs Rawlins?0 "Yes." "And you told him you'd be a duti ful daughter and marry the old skin flint so's they could Jine all their land together and make the biggest range tn the county?" His voice was cares sing in Its softness, but Helen trem bled at its hidden menace. "Nothing more-has been said. I suppose father takes lt for granted, after your .quarrel .wi? him. He knows that I haven't seen you until tonight. I hope ha won't make trou ble." "He's harmless for a while," grin ned Bobby as he turned her past her parent'? br :ad back. ' "Wh^s that he/* talking tor* "A h. dy friend of mine." ."A fr nd of yours?" ijiqulred Helen with a catch in her voloe. 'Tes-? just made 'em acquainted. Your ps. will enjoy her right welL" "Who is she, Bobby?" "Mrs. Watkins-Sally Watkins-the Wide'"? Watkins from Chinquapin." "Obi" rasped Helen, for she had heard of the gay Widow Watkins who had earea ad havoo with the hearts of -I Must Go Hunt Your Father Up." the cattlemen and' whose name had been coupled with Bobby Ellis lately.; Helen looked hard at the fascinating* widow who was talking earnestly to Mr. Main. Mrs. Watkins was-evident ly vain of the wealth of red hair that was generously streaked with white, for she made no attempt to conceal its piebald effect. She had a round pink 'and white face, sweet and good humored, and her smile was good 'to "She looks sweet," said Helen in spite of the wave of Jealousy that rushed over her. "She is a sweet, good little woman, and she's seen a heap of trouble," said Bobby emphatically. "The best day she ever had was th nus. on wnich she planted OM Wad 3!" "Wa: he oiJ?" as?. . Bolea faintly. "AtK?it Rawlins' a/ -? rved Bob? by Jinn :Oo8sIy. "She . . to help her fe . s alorf.

"Ye* bs's ?r*<s enough-but wheth er th ' marry or Dot-hm!" ?'Is '.at what you wanted to tell me?" ?-j.ed Helen coldly. "Something Ilk? that,'.' returned Bob by EJlis In har pink ear. "'Tm going to b3 married tomorrow morning." The girl In his arms stiffened a lit tle and her hands grow cold. AU the pretty color was drained from her cheeks. She moved her lip? to make reply, but no sound came. "I was going to ask your pa to drive you over to the ceremony-the parson at Red Spider will tie tho knot" Helen laughed. "That's funny-I was telling father the othor day that I had never been to a Wedding in my life. It's good of you to a3fc.us to your wedding." "I hope you ll como-?very thing's arranged. I even got the ring-right here!J' Mr, Ellis thumped his vest pockot suggestively. "Ia-is Mrs. Watkins-" Helen's' voice died away in an agonized T.-his per. Bobby Ellis paid no attention to that "The widder? Bless your heart, yes-couldn't do the stunt without her!" he ?aid cheerfully. Helen was game. "We w?l come," she said decisively. '"If father WOE I will come alone." "Good for you!" "What time-is. it-to be1?" "Ten o'clock sharp. You know whe; the parson's house is?"' "Yea." "The widder wanted me to ask yr to wear white-you see she's set c wearing blue and she says if ye ?Should wear pink or red or.anythi.. Mke that it,would make her'dress In Hie an Indian blanket on a piebal pony. I hope I got those colors co rect-her hair's red, you know." "Red and white," corrected Hele sweetly. "Thank yo*," said Bobby solemn! as he led her to a seat. "I reckon, thl ia the? last dance you ll ever have wit me as a care-free bachelor. Next tim 111 be an old married party!" "I suppose so," said Helen. "I must go hunt your father up an tear that there tittle widder awa from his fascinating attentions," erle Bobby gayly. "See you at If) tomo: row?" ?A 'Tee." "Sure thing f* 'Tes," "Good," said Bobby, and ff Hele could have seen his face she ?woul har? noticed that there was a i traine look ia- his eyes. She saw nothing save'the curious! streaked hair of the Widow Watkin and Bobby's tall form bending ove her as he calmly carried her awa; from big Bill Maim Helen's fatheji Mr. Main's eagle eyes roamed th room and found his daughter's pal face ?taring appeal at bim. The bi] cattleman's harsh face seemed curl ouely softened as ne met her appeal lng glance, and his eyes wore a hur look as he pushed Ms fingers thxoug] his grizzled hair. ^ "Well, daughter?" he asked. "Are you ready to go.rdad?" "Right and ready," he returnee promptly. When ho drove up to tho door in th? buckboard Helen was standing on th< .steps mufllcd in wraps. It was coo outside and she shivered. As the: were about to drive off the lean foru of Jim Rawlins pushed close to tb.< wagon. "See here, Helen," he whined, yoi was engaged to me for the Saratoga Lancers-you know I can't dance an] of them round dances, and I beet waiting for you-they're starting ui now." 'Tm sorry, Mr. Rawlins," she wai beginning, when her father cut ii roughly: "Let her alone, Jim-she's all tire? out," and with a vicious cut at his horses dashed away, leaving the a^grj Rawlins staring after them. The long drive back to the ranci was a silent one. When they came within sight of the lamp in the win dow Helen ventured to break the at lenee. "Dad, Bobby Ellis end Mrs. Wst< kins are going to be married at 10 o'clock. I promised I'd go to the wed ding. Will you drive me over?" Bill Main stifled an oath. 'Tes-r^? drive you over, Nelly," he said softly. Helen's eyes filled with tears-ho had not called her Nelly since she was a little girl. "I promised Mrs. Watkins I would come," he spoke in a queer voice. "You knew her before?" aske 1 Hel en with sudden Intuition of what was to follow. 'Tes-she did what I tried to make you do. Married an old man and I lost her. It's too lat? now for me to make good to rou, daughter, but 111 send Rawlins packing tomorrow. It's r?tribution on me for standing be tween you and Bobby." "You mean-that you care for her now, father?" whispered Helen. * "Yea." Helen leaned her head against her father's shoulder a?id presently his arm encircled her. The next morning Bill Main and his daughter drove to the parsonage in Red Spider. Whille Mr. Main tied his horses Helen smoothed the white lawn gown that she wore out of courtesy for the Widow Watkins' red hair. "It's mockery for me to wear white today," she whispered to herself, for her face was whiter than her frock. Impulse would have taken ber a thou sand miles Ju, the opposite direction from the scene of Bobby Ellis' wed ding, but she understood, or thought she did, why he asked her to be there. It was common gossip in Budlong county that Bobby had been devoted to Helen, and her presence, os well as her rather's, there today would still every voice. Mr. Ellis and ! * widow were wait ing im the poi:v<- if the parsonage. Bobby was Iookiig. white and stern, and the widow was very lovely tn pal est blue that matched her eyes, "Before I call in the sky pilot,** said Bobby rather nervously, "I want to aay that this ia a game-T did !t to get Helen here and the widow helped." He cleared his throat and stared de fiantly at Bill Main, but Bill Main was looking at bis daughter. "I'm going to marry Helen now, and I'd rather do it with your consent than without, sir. What you got to gay?" Before Mr. Main oould frnmo a reply Helen had rushed Into Bobby's arms. "There's the answer, Bobby," said Bill Main seriously, but his face glow-i ed as If a rev ht had been kindled within his beart. "If you ano Airs. Watkins will stand up wi'h u -we'll do as much for you iom? irv " suggested the Joy ous bridegrooM boldly. Bill Main's T?? met the pleading blue ones the pretty widow whom Ive onae 1OT.V ! asd lost only to regain now. "Might nf well take yon up now and make a double knot of It," said Mr. Main. "What say, Solly?" "That is what Bobby and I planned." said tho widow demurely.
