“My hair is my own fashion, sir,”
I rebuked. “And the lady is not for
discussion between gentlemen, par
ticularly as my acquaintance with her
is only casual.”
“Tut, tut!” he grinned. "No offense

me are good enough friends. There’s

“High and dry ?

He leaned over the side steps, and
gazed ahead. “Sydney in sight.”
As I left the station dining-room I
Take two, one for the lady. Hie!”
And he thrust a bottle at me.
My lady drew back. I civilly de
clined the “smile” ’
“Thank you. I do not drink.”
“What?" His tone stiffened. “The

grim ;fer if you don’t—”
“Train’s starting, Jim,” she inter
posed sharply. “If you want to get
aboard you’d better hurry.”
The bell was ringing, the passengers
were hurrying, incited by the conduc
tors’ shout: “All ’board!”'
Without another word the lady trip
ped for the car steps. I gave the fel
low one firm look and perforce left
him. The train moved as I Jumped
on the nearest car and the conductor
and brakeman hauled the tipsy fel
low aboard.
My Lady was ensconced.
“Did they get Jim?” she inquired.
“B-ythe scruff of the neck. You
know him?”
“He’s from Benton. I suppose he’s
been down here on a little pasear, as
they say.”
I had no more than seated myself
beside her when the brakemen ambled
through, his face in a broad grin.
“Well, we got him corailed,” he pro
claimed. “He’ll sleep it off and b?
ready for night."
But soon there was a commotion in
the forward part of the car. Jim had
appeared.
“Have a ‘smile,’ ladies an’ gents,”
he was bellowing thickly, “Hooray!
Have a smile on me. Great an’ glori
ous ’casion—’ic! Everybody smile.

It was inevitable that he would
reach us. I heard My Lady utter a
little gasp, as she sat more erect.
“Have a ‘smile,’ you two,” he roar
ed. “Wouldn’t smile at station; gotto
smile now. Lesh be good fellers.”
“You go back to your seat, Jim,”
she ordered tensely. “Go back, if you
know what’s good for you.”
“Whash that? Who your dog last

than we are in the East.”
“I don’t know. There is a limit.
You did right. I thank you heartily.
Still”—and she mused—“you can’t
always depend on your fists alone.
Fists are a short-range weapon. The
men generally wear a gun somewhere.
It is the custom.” .
“Under your tutclagA>I am sure I
shall do well,” I accepted “I rhay call

vor me with your address—?”
“My address?” She searched my
face in a manner startled. “You’ll
have no difficulty finding me, in
event’—and she smiled archly—“you
are not afraid of strange women.”
“I have been taught to respect wo
men,’’ said L
“Oh!” I seemed to have pleased her.
You have been carefully brought up,
sir.”
“To fear God, respect women, and
act the man as long as I breathe,” I
asserted.
“That may go excellently in the
East,” she answered. “But we in the
West favor the Persian maxim—to
ride, to shoot, and to tell the truth.
With those three qualities even a ten
derfoot can establish himself.”
“You hear the truth when I say I
anticipate much pleasure as well as
renewed health, in Benton,” I declared.
“Were we by ourselves we would
seal the future in another ‘smile’ to
gether,” she slyly promised. “Unless
that might shock you.”
“I am ready to fall in with the cus
toms of the country,” I assured. “I
certainly am not averse to smiles,
when fittingly proffered.”
Our passage was Astonishingly
short, but the sun was near to setting
when the brakeman shouted: .
“Benton! Benton in five minutes!”
“My valise, please.”
I brought it. The conductor, who
like the other officials knew. My Lady,
pushed through to us and . laid hand
upon it.
“I’ll see fou out,” he announced.
“Come ahead.”
“Pardon. That shall be my privi-
I interposed. But she quickly
denied. *
“No, please. The conductor is an

look out for yourself."
“But I shall see you again—and
where? I don’t eveh know your ad
dress; fact is. I’m even ignorant of
your name,” I pleaded desperately. •
.* “How stupid of me.” And she spoke
fast and low, over her shoulder. “To
night then, at the Big Tent. Remem
ber.”
I pressed after.
“The Big Tent! Shall I inquire
there? And for whom?”
“You'll not fdil to see me. Every
body knows the Big Tent, everybody
goes there. So au revior.’ *
We stopped with a jerk, amidst a
babel of cries.
“Benton! All out!” Out we stum

found the lady of the blue eyes stroll-1
ing alone upon the platform. |
“You are rather slow in* action, sir," j
she lightly accused. “We might have
breakfast together!”
“I plead guilty .madam,” I admit
ted. “But the next meal shall be my
privilege.”
“For dinner, yes; at Cheyenne.”
“And after that you will be home.”
“Of course.” She laughed shortly.
“Benton is now ‘home.’ We have mov
ed so frequently that I have grown to
call almost no place home.”
“I judge then that you are connect- 1
ed, as may happen, with a flexible
business,” I hazarded.
“There is money in following the
railroad, and that ia our present life,”
she said frankly. “A town springs
up, you know, at etch terminus,
booms ks long as the freight and pas
sengers pile up—and all of a sudden
the go-ahead business and profession

minus as soon as located.”
I We were interrupted. A drunken
| rowdy was careeing over the platform,
a large revolver dangling at his thigh.
His language was extremely offen

nobody interfered. The crowd stood
aside—the native laughing, the tour

not afraid of you. Now get, you wolf!”
She had made a sudden movement of
hand and I saw almost under my nose
the smallest pistol imaginable.
“No!” I Wkmed. “No matter. I'll
tend to him.”
The fellow’s mouth opened as if
for fresh abuse—and half rising I
landed upon it with my fist.
“Go where you belong, you drunken
whelp!”
I had struck and spoken at the
same time, with a rush of wrath that
surprised me; and the result surpris
ed me more, for while I was not con
scious of having exerted much force
he toppled backward clear across the
aisle, crashed down in a heap under
the opposite seat.
“Look out! Look opt!” she cried.
Up he scrambled, wrenching at his re
volver, but the brakeman and the con
ductor arrived, in a jiffy he was hus
tled forward. I sank back, breathless.
Congratulations echoed dully.
“The right spirit!"
“That’ll 1’arn him to insult a lady.”
“Shake, Mister."
“For a pilgrim you're consider’ble
of a boss.” ,
The lady herself was amazingly cool
under the epithets that he had spplied.

at me pleadingly. -j* . • —
