1P AN HU T HERO --1 COPYBICjII'T, 1901, BY TIIOMAS CIIAI'TIlR III. SEEKING INFORMATION. James5 Melvin was in no very pleas ant humor to begin with. Since early morning he had been In the saddle, and for 12 long hours he had followed the tortuous course of a dimly marked road which wound un certainly up and down anti in and out among the rugged hills that border the Missourl river. His assertion that the horse he rode possessed a galt like that of a cow was not an exaggeration, and neither was that other assertion, that he was hun grier than a bear. Ile had eaten noth Ing since early morning, and his break fast, secured at a log cabin back in tho hills, had not been anything like as sumptuousias lie could have desired. And now, oi top of these discomforts, James Mlelvfi had suddenly awakened to a realization of the fact that he was lost - lost, with night and darkness coming on and nothing to guide him back to his course. Since leaving Beekett's Miil he had traveled the main. road for a short dis. tance, then had turned otT to follow a path that led up a ridge through a dark, heavy forest. For a time ho got on very well, but by and by he came to a point where the path gave out, and, having nothing to further guide him, he began to ramble about the wood in an uncertain manner. 'lhis lie contin ued for an hour before he discovered that he was merely wandering around and around, and it danvied on himn1 that he was lost. Ie reined ill) his horse to consider his situation and to tiy to decide what lie had better (t Iiiler tle circii stances. Ile found that reining up his horse was the ea sie'st thinPg lie had at telipled that ud.1y. The animail Iay have iosessed otielr sirlong points, hut ile sp)ee0(d with whicih he cnme to a halt Was certainly f'.1r the stronlgest.

There, sittiiig on1 a log, witii his elbows1 resting 141 his knees and huis lace inl his hasndls. was an oldl man who Aielvin a ~s ghaul to see thle oli fel low, for lie laid no doubt that lie would easi ly gaiin fromi imi thle inforimation11 necessarmy toa giiide himi to a platce of refuge for thle night.

Melvin was so surprised at the oh man's words and manner that it was i full minute before lie recovered suill clently to make a reply. At last, how ever, he said: "I am sorry if I have offended you and I beg your pardon. I meant n harm. I assure you. 1-1 have lost th road." "Wiaal, s'pose you have. I alln found It." "I thought you might be able an willing to direct ie so that I canl fill It." "Did I cause you to lose it?" "Certainly not." "All) I anywise responsible for you losin it?" "dNo." "Then it haln't none of my duty t heli) you to find It, I reckon." "Don't you ever do anything to a( commodate people?" "I 'ten(d to my own business." "And you won't even so much as d rect me to the road?" The old mian was silent for a m< ment. Then, straightening himself ul le said: "I see jest how it are, stranger. Yo are gwine to keep on a-foolin aroun here an chawin on the rag till M dander'll begin to rise, an then I'll jej nat'rally light in on you an give yo the alltiredest wust lickin ever an, body got In all this world." Melvin drew back from the old ma and eyed him curiously. He didn know what to make of such strang conduct, and he thought the 11111n m111 be crazy. Had his sItuation been les desperate lie would have passed o without walting to exchage anothe word, but under tle eireumstAnces i felt that Ie must, gain sole infolrms* tion from the old main iIf possible, eve at tile risk of getting a ight on hi bands. So lie inade One more olol'rt. "Say," lie begani, "darkness is conr Ing on1, and I Canl't 0think of spenldinl the IIiglit here in this wood." "Can't you?" tile other said. "Wian In tha t case why don't you git out 0 it, then?" "1 would if you'd direct ine."

"Find1( It anywhere you blame pleas for all of me. Fuist I knowed ani house had been lost." "You know what I mean." "Reckon you mean what you say." "I mleani can't y'ou (direct me) to house where 1 can spend tihe nighlt?'" "Mebby I cold." "Well, why dlon't you?" "Don't have to." "No, but you certainly ought to h ac'commodlating enough to (10 thii munch for a straniger." "Mebby I ought, but tihe fact is ain't keerin a (durnl whiar you spend th: nlighit.

Melvin scenlted serlou trouble and1( put spurs to his horse anl "I almost wvish now." lie said( to lim self, "'that 1 had1( talken) the chance rid stopped at lheckett's Miil.

CHIAPTER IV. TILE TENDER PAsSION. There were three very thlough~tful ani ierious people at Beckett's Mill thla ilht. They were Mr. anld Mrs. Bank, md Mrs. Mann.

Mrs. Banks had1( never felt at hloml< tmnong the people of Possum Ridlge, al east niever since she 1had( spent a yens iway at college. She knew thaft as5 1 lass they were good people and1( well neaning, but for all that sh~e d1id not Ike thlem, and1( it was not because she lid not wish to like them, but begause h1e could not. Thle whole trouble was hat she anld thley were n~ot congenlial pirits and there was no0th)ing in com noni between thlem. Unfortunately she felt toward hem iusband as she felt towardl the rest. Ic was like thjeml, and( try as she vould shle could not seplarate hila from hem. Sheo found between her'self and urn that same feeling of restraint, not o say antagonism, which hleld her loof from tihe others.
