She came out quickly. Stetson turned

without a tremble:
“Put up your hends end do it quiek-

When the trailing party reined up in
front of Craig s cabin they found the
object of their search titling on a log
before the door, smoking. From his
dress, bespattered wKth wrad, Kt was
evident that he had just returned from
riding. Tlie parly exchanged glances
of understanding.
Sam mice came to the point at once.
“Craig," he said, “yer wanted down ter
th’ Bor,” 1
“What’s that?” demanded the eaat-
erncr. angrily.
"Ycr vranted down ter th’ Bar!" 8am
repeated. “For hoss steallngt" he
added. _
Craig’s face was aflame in the instant.
He sprang from his scat, throwing bock
hia hand to hia hip. lint the othershad
him covered, and his hand dropped
loosely by his side again. ‘Tt’n a -
lie," he Said, "and you know it!"
Just then a woman's figure appeared
in the cabin .doorWAy. It was Craig’s
wife. > ° • •. •• -
"WhaCs the matter?" she questioned
anxiously, seeing her husband's atti
tude.
Craig spoke up quickly: "Go back,
Dolly! They've g<H up a dirty story
. about me And want me to go to the naC ’
But £11 come back In a little while.’’
Ham had a great fear of women's
tongues ami tears and Immediately or
dered Craig to mount s horse which an
other man at a word secured from the
stable near by. The woman had looked
on dumbly, seeming hardly to cotnpre-
Ticnd what was taking place, but flaahe
aaw her hnkbapd walk over toward the
horse, ah* ra^to him, and threw both
arms about him, holding him tight to
her. fie unclasped her arms gently
after an instant, and mounted the horse
nnd, turning in the saddle, waved hin
hand to her. Then they rode Abrily,
and, after they had gone n piece. Sam
looked back nnd saw the woman still
(•landing there, her hands loosely locked
before her,’ watching them with wide-
open eyes. c'She’s grit ter th’ back

lashed his harso into a gallop.

When morning came a big party set
off in pursuit of Cmig. But they had
scant hope of overtaking him with a
horse under him and his many hours’
start. The easterner's wife still re
mained looked In the cabin. Sage
Bar for once found itself non
plused. Law and order hail been re
versed by a woman and the town had
the offender in custody. But smoke and
ponder as it might. Sage Her was at a
loss to know how to proceed. All the
laws of the settlement, unwritten
though they were, had sprung from dn
acute sense of frontier needs, and re
ferred to men. Tkete was an nndefina-
blc feeling among the Sage Bar aolona
that these laws could not be applled
with propriety to women, snd so they
talked much, smoked and drank much
more, and did—nothing. When the
Hines party came In, tired, hungry and
empty handed, no solution of the diffi
culty presented Itself, and so, with ad
mirable judgment, the town decided to
free itself of further responalbility by
setting the woman at liberty. The
easterner’s wife was pale and evidently
worn out when they brought her oat of
the cabin; bat she said not a word

wild and woolly border romance., when
a young southerner present drawled:
“Madam. If anyone else in the world

can not refuse to believe you. -<>

Two days later, just as Koge Bar was
preparing its evening meal, two men
were seen riding over a swell from the
northeast. Five horses were driven
loosely before them. When the men
got nearer the town one of them was
recognized aa the easterner. He was
riding bare-headed, and beside him rode
another, dark and swarthy, bis arms
bound to his sides, his horse led^by
Craig! All Huge Bar assembled about
the party, while Craig told the story of.
how he had ridden /way that night,
had struck the trail of the horses, snd
following it had brought the Mexican
