The crops had been garnered and the approach of frost brought no terror to the farmers, but In some indescribable way it affected the nerves of the lonely woman standing before her rude shack gazing toward the setting sun. Somehow the autumn had always brought a shade of sadness into her life. Even back in the old New England dayg?before this horrible nightmare had transformed her life?she had experienced the same feeling of depression. "I guess it's because I bate to see things dying."' she explained to herself to stifle back a rising rebellion of sorrow. "The summer was short enough back home, but out here it's all too short." There was a dreary, homesick expression in the eyes, and through the straggling hair the bronzed forehead showed little marks of premature wrinkling. Dorothy Wellington in her girlhood days had been termed "comely," a word which just'fell short of calling her good looking or handsome. But with time and experience her features had grown harsher and yet without blotting out a certain sweet expression of resignation. Eternal longing for the impossible, however, eats out the heart and ambition of the strongest, and Dorothy was daily finding her burden more unendurable. "It isn't natural," she confessed to I herself many times. "I'd rather give up all and go hack without a cent. I I could work and make a living. Not In Dunbary, but somewhere else?anywhere except here." It was a strained and unnatural poettlon for a young girl to find herself In, and nothing but a strong, stern sense of duty could bold her to the bargain another day. It was not home on the bleak Oklahoma plain. The rery quarter section cn which they Jived was in dispute. The shack which they had built for temporary quarters , might not be their own. Across the "dead line" there was another shack? ? ? ? - ? ll\ A 1A M d A AA A rpA AM A a secouu mui uu lilt' luuuaiupt;. iu vue or tlie other the quarter section lie- ( longed, but to which none could say. The slow-mqving courts would in time , decide, but for the present there was only an armed truce, and neither side dared venture on the property of the 1 Other. .Tared Wellington had left Dunbnry 1 tn the East to cast his lot with the : early settlers of Oklahoma, and when" the rush began he had been the first .j to settle on a desirable quarter section. ] Eut while he had beer busy staking , out the section another had filed a claim to the same piece of land. There ] was a dispute which threatened to , end in murder, but Dorothy had been j the means of quieting the two combat- , ants. They agreed to let the courts j settle the claim, and meanwhile the ? two owners built on opposite sides of ? the "dead line." which they drew ex- ( nctly through the centre of tie quarter ; lection. ? That was three months ago, and In the meantime Jared Wellington and '] Henry Egerton had nursed their wrath j In silence while they planted and gath- , ered their first season's crops. Each ] bitterly envied the other the crops j which by right should belong to him. ] With alert eyes and gun loaded for ? active service, each"watched the other, determined to exact the full pound j Of flesh demanded in the agreement. ( Had accident o: sickness forced either j over the "dead line," the other would , unquestionably have shot his enemy j In his tracks tte moment he set foot on j his property. j Such were th? bitter conditions under yrliich Dorothr had lived for three months, hoping and praying that the . Court's decisios would shortly^settle the j Controversy, but never did the law ] fieera to la: more exasperatingly. l Autumn was changing the whole face Of the lands'ape and winter was ap- 5 proaehing rith its long period of j gloomy weatier, but the "dead line" j and the Egeiton shack in the distance, j continued to make life for Dorothy and < fcor father biter and disagreeable. 1 Tared Weliugton was as hard and ( tet In his vays as the New England granite hills among which he had been j reared, and Dorothy knew his nature [ ioo well to attempt to induce him to compromise with his lonely neighbor, t Ironely Heiry Egerton appeared to be ( Jn his shac, for neither wife, mother, \ nor child ippeared around his home. P Daily he lad toiled in the fields alJ ] hummer, rrturning to his rude home at ; night time to prepare his own supper, ?lnd srnok- quietly and solitarily near ?hc door -f his shack until the moon < was darkeied by the blood-red horizou. ] Dorothy lad watched these orderly i nroceedin;s from her quiet retreat, often wo:dering at the man's lonely life, and a her tender heart half pitytog him. He wasyonng and not hard-looking, fts she renembered him on that eventful day Then she had interposed to Gave boh from a possible tragedy. But afte all it had been a fleeting glimpse <f the flushed face and eyes burning vith anger and determination. Those tvre exciting days when man forgot lis thin veneer of civilization and dismayed his savage origin. The wild rua across the promised line, the fights ail struggles to gain possession of the fest quarter sections, the fear and laDentations of those who had failed, ad the awful intensity of the calm wiich had prevailed days and weeks bfore the final word was given to throv open the land to the eager i public?ill these pictures were burned on Dorchy's brain so that they seemed 1 like saie horrible nightmare. How < differec it all had been from the quiet New Ibgland village where she had ? been rared. I "Wb" could she not have lived there ; forevc? What right had her father j ; to ter her from her home, root and I brano, and plunge into this wild, i I /lawl6s cauldron of unrest and bitter < | strings?" i Dcothy brushed back a rebellious | tearand turned away from the front 1 ! doonf the shack. She had never given ] ; exp?ssion to such parental rebellion j befce, and she half shuddered at it. ? { By.vay of apology, she added in an ; unertone: j "oor father! lie suffers, too. He i hafheen disappointed and it is making j liir old. Why did that man want to i co:e here?" i he looked bitterly across the "dead i lir." Henry Egerton had just emerged fnn his shack and stood, with hands 1 sliding his eyes, watching her. Nearby 1 st could see his gun leaning against 1 tl side of the shack. .. ji i rHE CLAIM. 3 I ; E. Wa'sb. ^ f "lie must bo bad, or ho "would offer to compromise/' Dorothy continued, "lie is young and able and father is old and feeble. lie might move on, and " She suddenly dropped her voice to an indistinct murmur, for an apparition appeared in the doorway of the shack which made her excited. She shaded her eyes and looked more keenly. It was a small, toddling child, scarcely two summers old, holding uncertainly to the side of the doorway, and cooing at the big ball of fire slowly disappearing below the horizon. The man raised his hands and the child ran to him and jumped into his arms. "He is married, then, and has a family," Dorothy breathed. "Maybe I have misjudged him. Has the child a mother, or " Again her sentence died out in an indistinct murmur, but the sun had set nn/1 r? vn rv 1 / ! 1 * /I tiiJLii iu|/iui> c|urauii:-, over the landscape. Dorothy saw another form, bent of figure and white of hair, walking across the field, and after waving a hand of welcome to him she turned to her work inside. There was seldom any mention of . their neighbor's affairs between father and daughter, and to-night Dorothy merely told of the presence of the baby ' on the opposite side of the "dead line" ; and then subsided. Jared Wellington ' raised his shaggy eyebrows and grunted: "Then he's married? .He'll bring his ; wife next. I suppose. Maybe he has heard that the courts " A horrible suspicion entered the minds of both. Had the courts decided respecting their claims, and had Henry ' Egcrton heard that he was the sole and legal possessor of the quarter section? ] Otherwise why had he brought his ' family out to his lonely home when he had lived without them for three months? .Tared Wellington felt the heavy op- j prcssion of disappointment, and his white head drooped lower and lower as the evening advanced. Dorothy tried to cheer him, but in vain. Finally she * decided to present the matter clearly to her aged parent r.nd show him that all would not bo lost even if the courts decided against them. j "What of it, father?" she said, cheerfully. "We can go back East and live. * I can work and support you. I will ftniftv lifr? mnro thnn not here. I can't stand tliis much longer. I must have companions and neighbors." "No. no. Dorothy, it can never be," he i murmured. I shall never live to see the East again. If it is true that?that ?he owns it"?pointing dramatically j toward his enemy's shack?"it will kill ] me. I cannot survive it." j The .tears blinded the blue eyes of , the woman, and she turned away to t hide them. "It may not be, father," j she murmured in a thick voice. c But whether true or not. .Tared Wei- ( iington took to his bed, and on the mor- ? row he was unable to raise his head : from the pillow. Dorothy nursed him F with all the skill she posscscd, but he s leeded more than she could give. c Slumbering jitfully, the patient would r iwaken occasionally, and murmur in- L listinct sentences. The fever of age f ind anxiety had unsettled his mind, t ind he raved like a child of ten. ? Dorothy turned away in despair, j impending death in the dreary shack i nade even her stout heart quail. It ^ vas ten miles to the nearest physician, f 3ut it was necessary to go. Would the t 'ecble patient awaken, and finding o limself deserted, commit some wild i tct? f She held the door half open, debat- a ng^whether to go or stay, when sud- a lenly a slight pressure from without c nade her turn hastily. There, almost c it her feet, was a bundle of red cloth- t ng, surmounted by a shock of light e jrown hair. The pair of innocent eyes t ooking up at her suddenly gleamed c ivith a new-born happiness. t "Muzzer! Muzzer! I'se found you s it last. Where's you -been so long? s Baby's been cryin' an' cryin' fur you. \ Elug baby, an' tell him you'll nebber, t lebber leave him again." h i t A pair of warm arms were raised be- c seechingly upward. Dorothy picked t :he litle child up in her arms and a mgged and kissed it. The longing in t ner heart for some one to love and t >peak*to was almost too much, and she t 3roke into a violent sobbing. The child I :uddled close to her and said softly: l: "Don't cry. muzzer. fur I won't leave <] rou ag'in. I'se goin' to stay forebber t m' ebber with you." L The hands, chubby and warm, stroKea 1 :he hair of the weeping woman. Dor- \ )thy raised her eyes to look at the little s .'ace pressed to hers, and then she. i darted. A dozen feet away stood Henry j Egerton, an expression of confusion i; *ud uncertainty on his face. i He raised his hat and said: 1 "Pardon me, I've come for Virginia, s She ran away, and I could not catch h ler until she crossed?crossed over t iere." t Dorothy still held the child in her t irms, and Virginia suddenly exda imed: "I'se found muzzer! I'se found muzser, Unci' Ken'y. Here she is." g The face of the man worked strange- a y. A softening of the firm outlines a ajade him look tender and sympa- h :hetic. f "Poor Virginia lost her mother a t veek ago," he murmured, "and she has t :ome to live with me. I could not c Dear to tell her the truth. But I sup- a pose I was wrong. - Come, Virginia, t ?ome with Uncle Henry." o "Not unless muzzer comes, too," 11 pleaded the child. z The embarrassment of the man In- t ;reased. Dorothy, understanding the t position of the two, suddenly raised h iier oyps from the shock of brown hair s ind said quickly: 8 "Leave the child with me a short n time. She is happy, and I?I?need some one." n There "was a break in her voice, but n she continued with more s^lf-control: h "But I must go away for a doctor, c Father is very sick and he needs help t ind medicine." n Henry Egerton had been thinking of t the picture the two made framed in the 1< ioorway, and he started at the men- fi tion of her father. Then, apparently g without thinking, he said: "I'll go for h the doctor if you'll keep Virginia until b [ return. I'll be back soon." y He strode away rapidly without " glancing again at the picture, which 1 somehow had strangely affected him, v rnd withi.n ten minutes he was riding v fiercely toward Oklahoma City. Dur- n ing the ten miles he hardly saw an abject on the landscape, and when he returned in company with the physician lie was quiet and taciturn. s Virginia and Dorothy were not in S the doorway to greet him on his return, a but unmindful of the feud between the g two families he strode into the small b shack behind the physician. Then, y while that individual examined his pa tient he waited patiently at the foo of the rude bed, furtively watchinj two faces which seemed inseparabl: associated together. Jnred Wellington was a long tlmi in bed and the fever wasted him t< a skeleton. Nature had robbed bin of the power and strength to protect hi: shack from the approach of the enemy But before his complete recovery tin "dead line" had been obliterated. Th< little footsteps of Virginia had worn i smooth path across it from shack t< shack, and often Henry Egerton fol lowed after his tiny niece "to go anc see muzzer." Somehow there was at much attraction for him as for tin innnocent child, who had found ir its bereavement another who hat quickly healed the wound. Then one day Henry Egerton walkec to the old shack with linos drawt tighter around his mouth, and witt eyes hardened to bear a new burden The decision of the courts in their re spective claims had been handed down The ownership of the valuable quartet section was decided forever. Beyond the hearing of the convalescent man, n-i-m c-nt in the sun of the doorway. Egerton told the news to Dorothy. Under the blunt announcement sIk paled and flushed by turns. Then pitj for the drawn face before her made hei exclaim: "Oh, I'm sorry for you, Mr. Egerton. I think you should own half." "No, it was all or rone. Now the courts have decided it all belongs tc your father. I'm an interloper, and must leave at or.ee. You have the right to order me off before night." "But I won't do it, Mr. Egerton," Dorothy replied, with a bright smile. "You can stay as long as you like." "No man could do that unless"?he hesitated?'"unless you could let me work the place for you. I could stay is your hired man until your father was well again; but I won't. I would >tay at your bidding?if?if?you would llways be Virginia's mother." Dorothy held forth a trembling hand, fie seized it and covered it with kisses, aastily interpreting the action as a ilea to stay, and Dorothy did not have :he courage to break his illusion. Then Tom the shadow of the shack a small igure toddled forth and a baby's voice >xclaimcd: "Muzzer, make Unci' tfVm'v star an' play bear with me. I vants him." Dorothy, with a happy smilo and ^learning eyes, 1 icked the child up in ter arms and replied between her ?aresses: "He will stay. Virginia, and le shall play bear with you all the norning."?New York Times. A BIC FISH STORY. That Was lTonnd in the Stouiacli of a Shark.
