"I should not advise thee to use
force, Johii, but thee Blight visit her
this evening. She seemed rather
downhearted, poor child."
John'lost no time in acting on her
suggestion, and pleaded lon<r and
earnestly that she would give hfm the
rights he so much desired; but she
said; "Not yet, John, dear," so
pleadingly, that be was obliged to let
it be as she wished. He went home
with a very rebellious feeling in
his heart, and the look he cast at the
waning moon rising late like a faded
beauty, and peering at him from be-
tween the skeleton limbs of a dead
tree, was anything but amiable.

though there was a nervousness In bis

of lawlessness about, and it behooved
a man to bo cautious; anil Ruth once
heard aim make a stealthy trip to thd
cellar. Their house stood a little off
the main road, and they had 110 very

Once in the night she heard a
horseman ride up to the house, dis-
mount and knock, heard her father
open the door and admit some one.
A hasty, low toned conversation was

but dared not say any thing, for fear
of again bringing her father's wrath
upon her head. Listening intently,
she fancied she heard the clink of
money. She heard him moving quiet-

stealthy footsteps on the cellar stairs.
The next day he seemed so pleasant
and cheerful that he half forgot her

dismay that something was wrong
with the ditch above, as the water
was shut oft and the reservoir nearly
dry. It was imperative that he should
see to it at once, and he was reluc-
tantly obliged to let Ruth return
alone. She did not mind that in the
least.
"I'll cut across the mountain. It'll
bo much shorter, and I warn 10 get
some ferns," she said.
Leaving the ditch, she started down
the mountain side, the slope becoming
steepei as she descended. Half way
do\jil she caught Uie tinkel of a cow-
bell from tho depths fyelow.* She
kueiv it must be some of the town, as
they often strayed into the canons to
feed ; and reflecting that nono of of
them were at all vicious, and that it
was too late to turn back, she went
lightly on.
The way bocamo steeper and there
was no trail. She grasped here a'd
there a branch of a low tree or shrub
to steady her descent, and laughed at
tho saucy chirp of the squirrel and
protesting squawk of bluejay. The
tinkle of the cow-bell sounded nearer,
and she recognized it as belonging to
neighbor Brown's gentle old Spot.
She parted a cluster of little ferus,and
holding to a branch was about to let
herself down the last steep bit of
mountain side, when a scene met her
eye that startled her greatly. On a
level grassy place beside the stream
that run through the canon stood old
Spot contentedly chewing her cud,
while a man knelt at her side utilizing
his felt hat for a milk pail into .which
she oilowed him to guide a generom
stream. Just beyond stood a man
holding two horses by the bridle reins,
while they hungrily cropped the rich
grass.
The men's backs were toward her,
but at the sound of her pushing
through the bushes both turned quick-
ly. The milker let his impromptu
bucket fall, and springing up seized
a rifle that leaned against a log while
the man holding the horses turned to
her terrified gase the liaudsouio, ctuol
face of Stein?
For a moment only she hesitated,
then all the bravery in her nature
cauie to her aid. She knew these
men wore there for no good purpose,
but she mast not let them know that
she thought so, as she was completely
iu their power. Swinging herself
down she bowed pleasantly to Stein,
who stepped forwurd, a smile of pleas-
ure on his face. He horridly spoke a
few words to his companion, who put
down his gun and picked up his hat
with a foolish grin,while old spot feel-
ing herself released from further obli-
gations to stand still, moved 011 to fin-
ish her interrupted repast.
Stein held out his hand, exclaiming :
"Well, I delare'! This is an unex-
pected pleasure," Miss Wallace."
Ruth barely touched his hand, re-
marking pleasantly that she had ta-
ken a walk up tho di'eb and out across
the canon coming back, as it was
shorter, and she wished to get some
ferns. She started up the canon, but
Stein said to her rather abruptly:
"Wait a moment. I want to say a
word to you Here, Joe! Hold these
horses." He handed him the bridles
and strode by Ruth's side.
"I'll bet ICeniston walked up with
you, didn't lie, now?" he asked, peer-
ing into her face.
She smothered her horror and dis-
gust as best she could, and answered
quietly: "Yes."
"Well, I mean to put in a word for
myself now, I suppose yon know I'm
dead gone 011 you and always have
been, but you've never given me half
a show. I've got you where I want
you now, and you've got to listi 11 to
me. I've got plenty of swag, more
than you will ever be able to spend,
and if you'll say the word we'll cut
out of this part of the country. Take
the old man, too, if you say so."
SI10 faeed him bravely, though with
a Sinking heart. "Mr. Stein, please
don't say anything more. I am en-
gaged to John and will many him as
soon as my father consents."
Ho flushed darkly. "1 don't see as
that makes a damn's odds. You
vvould't be the first girl that's thrown
one fellow overboard to make 100111
for anotl er."
"You are very much mistaken, Mr.
Stein, if you take me for that sort of
a girl, for I can assure you that I
will never throw John overboard, as
you say, for any one I have seen yet.
L must go now, It is getting late."
"Not so fast, young lady. While
I'm making an open confession I
might as well tell you-something else.
If you have any love for that precious
old rascally father of yours, don't
drop a word to anyone that you have
seen lis here—understand?"
"And you promise not to?

I will say nothing about it to anyone:
most certainly not if ii will endanger
my father.

He laughed rather apologetically.

What could she do? A sense of hope-

so that it attracted his attention, aiid
he remarked pleasantly that she need-
ed a change and must have it. Th'fy

full of dreadful forebodings.

She bade him good afternoon gently
and passed up 011 the mountain side,
he watched her a moment, then drew
a revolver and took deliberate aim at
her, but lowered it with a muttered
curse.
"No, I'm damned if I can; but I'll
get even with them all. I'll get the
bulge on the old man, and Keniston
will be too proud to marry her when
he knows what the old man is. Mi
turn will come then.
He returned to his companion, and
Ruth, unconscious of her narrow es
cape, hurried on an reached the Keii-
lston home, pale and breathless; but
iu reply to gentle questionings said
that John had been compelled to go
on up tlii ditch, and she had walked
back too fast and felt rather tierd.
On the way home she met a neigh-
bor, who at once proceeded to give
her the details of a bold robbery that
occurred over on the road the
day before. Three men who were
taking down the bullion from a large
mine, had been robbed by highway-
men, who were supposed to belong to
Tom Hell's gang. One of the men,
attempting to resist the gang had been
killed and another one wounded.
Ruth listened as in a horrible dream
She seemed to hear again the myste-
rious knock at the door, and the hur-
lied sound of hoots galloping off
into midnight. She spoke a few
words of horror and passed on, with ,
the certainty iu her mind that the
men she had that day seen in the can- !
on were Hie guilty ones. The thought
of having touched Stein's hand made .
her flesh creep, and his words rang in ]
her ears : "If you have any love for j

No Statehood for Them.
Washington, Sept. 21.-—"The Indian
Territory is the one uis;anization in tho
country that does not want to become a
state," says Hogan Keel of the Chicka-
saw Nation, who is iu the city. "We
have our farms and oar herds of cattle,
our homes and schools aud are well sas-
isfied with tho present system. About
everything which is grown in the
United States can be grown in the Ter-
ritory. The public schools aro advanced
and well attended. If we thould
come a state we could not own tha
lands in common as we do now, and|
that system is the life of the cattle rais
ing business. The present govers■men
is well suited to the nesda of tho Terri
i.oiy, aud we want 110 change."
