CUPID'S NEW WEAPON

wont ahead. then came the venture
some spl i its, ready to take risks of
slides nnil places on narrow ledges,
where pieces of r*jck might have fallen
away since the last ranger passed on
his lonely patrol.
lint the nionnuiln ponies were sure
footed?too snro-footod, for they went
close to the edge sometimes. The
horse the girl rode Insisted on walking
as far away from the cliff as possible.
The man kept his eyo on the girl.
Most of the time her left foot was dan
gling over space, hut she gave no
sign that she was afraid.
When night came they camped In a
valley, and after supper most of tho
weary souls crawled Into bed. A few
8tlll lingered, however, around tho
great tire. The man and tho girl sat
apart talking.
'?You are not afraid of anything, arc
you?" he said.
She laughed. "Goodness, yes?spi
ders and mice, measles and burglars."
"1 doubt It!"
"What did I do to make you think
I was?brave?"
"Most girls would havo screamed or
fainted when that horse went so close
to the edge."
"And I kept quiet. That was only
the Instinct of self-preservation. I
didn't want to scare him."
"That Isn't true, I'm afraid. I Insist
on giving you the palm of courage."
"And I insist that I am as much of
a coward as anybody."
"What aro you ufrald of, then?"
"I told you?burglars for one thing."
"And?"
"You for another."
?'Me?"
"Yes. You Insist on . dragging my
fallings out Into daylight and analyz
ing them. I suppose you'll soon dis
cover that I'm fond of vegetable soup
and bate to use semicolons, and that
incidentally these riding boots have
rubbed my stockings Into tatters."
"I'd forgotten. You must be dead
tired." He got up Instantly and helped
her to her feet. "Go to bed now and
be fresh for new worlds tomorrow."
He pressed her hand warmly and
was gone.
They were together a great deal
after that; they rode side by side when
possible, sat together at meals, and
had splendid campflre talks. He In
sisted on calling her brave as each day
brought new risks which she took
without flinching.
The trip came to an end; the man
took train for Seattle, the girl went
east, and the party "scattered Irmtt
directions.
The girl's family had not come home
from Canada and she undertook the
opening of the townhouse.
She had long, quiet evenings alone
after busy days, and she lived over
her wonderful time In the mountains.
There were camera views to go over,
some of the man. "He's so different
from most men." she mused, "so big.
He's been all over the world, he says.
I suppose he builds bridges and tun
nels mountains and constructs dams
and aqueducts, for he would never be
content to spend his time doing little
things."
One evening, after looking through
her travel book again, she decided to
go to bed. Hulda, the oook, had gone
to her room on the third floor, and she
was alone. She mnde a round of the
rooms, fastened windows, snapping on
locks and turning out lights.
Then she returned to the library to
switch off the table light before going
upstairs.
And tbere stood a man with a black
mask over his face and an automatic
ready for action.
"Oh!" said the girl, standing quite
still.
"Keep quiet," said the Intruder, "and
I won't hurt you."
And the girl kept very quiet; in
truth, she slipped In a heap to the
floor, for she had fainted.
'Tm a fool I" A man's voice was
the first thing she heard when her
senses came back. She was on a couch
and Hulda was rubbing her face and
hands. She thought she knew the
voice.
The girl sat up. "You J" she cried.
"Yes. II" said the man grimly, the
man with Whom she had traveled over
300 miles of mountains.
"And here I've been thinking you did
big, wonderful things to help the world,
and you're a?a?"
"A burglar? No. I'm not really.
Listen. I Just got back from the West
today?this eveYHns?and I couldn't go
to sleep until I had located your house.
It was too late to come In, but I Just
wanted to know where you lived.
When I was passing I saw a man work
ing at the side window, so I got the
corner policeman and we nabbed him.
Then I thought of something, Just a
fool notion of mine to test your cour
age further, for 1 didn't believe you
when you said you were afraid of bur
glars. You know what it was. I
played burglar. Forgive me!"
"And I played baby." she said,
ashamed.
"You are adorable, and I love you,"
said the man.
"Then It's all light." sighed the girl
happily, "but It's the first t'me I ever
knew Cupid to use a gun."
