A plump, light haired young fellow of about thirâ€" ty sat tilted back in his chair, with one leg thrown across the corner of the table, playing a mouth organ. "Hello, Rob!" he called. Raymond was in bad bumor. "Put up your plaything, you monkey, and listen to me a moment.* "What‘s up?" Raymond pointed at the letter, "Read that, .Nice thing the old man works on us." His indignation and disgust deepâ€" encd into a growl. "This settles it. I‘m going to pull out." The other man composedly took up the letter. "What‘s he done now?" Baker‘s eyes wideued, and his fat face lengthened, "Not comin‘ today?" "That‘s what!" "And us without no woman round." Raymond broke forth again: ‘"That‘s It, now. ‘You‘d suppose Barnett would at least read imy letters, I told him last weck that old Jonesy and his wife were going up to Skytown."

Baker began to read the letter nloud in a monotonous, painful way, while aymond moved about the room, pickâ€" Ing up the litter. Raymond came over and seized the stove lidâ€"lifter as if to break Baker‘s head. "We‘re to cook and purvey like boarding house kecpers and doctor like a nurse at a heaith resort, and in addiâ€" tion we‘re to pose for a delicate youth who thinks we‘re ‘material.‘ That setâ€" ties me. â€" I‘m going up to Sky and take a shy at mining."

"I‘ve a pind to wring your neck," he said through his teeth. ‘Then, suddcnly releasing him, he again comâ€" manded im to clear away his dishes. Baker wis not yet finished with the letter. "Ifold on. . Don‘t be in a rush, I hain‘t got to the girl yet. That‘s what Interests me. ‘Miss Iupert will only stay a few days to get the lad setâ€" "She can‘t stay too quick to suit me."

You will pass for the boss, I‘ve got o cook." "Great Poter, you mustu‘t do that! I cau‘t carry it through. I‘m no spicler." R "Play the mouth organ for her." "Oh, see here, you‘re joshin‘." "You won‘t find it any ‘Josh.‘ You‘ve been getting gay with me lately and meed discipline. You pass for the foreâ€" man. Understand? You amuse the girl and pose for the boy, while 1 knock pots. That is settled. Now take the pail and rustle some water, and don‘t you peep." C Porry, entering at the door with an armful of brush, called out, with quict ju7, "The senora has come!"

The old man has written down to say that he has made Jack the boss. I‘m going to cook a tew days, and then I leave, You tell the other boys that Jack Baker is made foreman, and they‘ve got to obey him. Â¥You sabbe?" She was now aware of Raymond moving sullenly about in the gloom wherein the stove sat. He was dressed in a light tan, loosely fitting shirt avd brown trousers without braces. His spurs rattled at his heels as he walked to and fro, lithe and powerful. He did mnot look upâ€"did not appear to notice what was going â€"on, but came‘ and went at his work, deft and absorbed. "Never mind that. Get out there and help take care of the team, and, Jack, you go too." lie laid a hand on his back and pushed him through the doorâ€" way just as.the two seated hack roundâ€" ed the corral and drew up to the door. Perry grew solemn of face, "I sabbe. If you go, 1 go." : 3 J "Ob, isn‘t this fine!" called a clear, boyish voice, and a moment later the cool, deliberate voice of a girl replied: "Oh, what a blessed reliet after the hot sun of the plain!" ‘They Baker was heard to say, with etadorate courtesy;? Shail 1 nelp you out, miss? I reckon you are the friends of the old manâ€"I mean Barnett." And a moment later the young girl stood in the doorway looking out at the plain. Raymond gave her but one glance from the corner of his eyes, but ber firm, well balanced body. and calm, high bred face touched him with admiration. His resolution to be disagreeable weakâ€" ened, though be kept about bis work. Louis was instantly delighted with the room. "Isu‘t this ripping!" he exâ€" claimed as he studied its furnishings. "Won‘t this make a strong background for an illustration?. Only that stoveâ€" isn‘t it too bad?â€"that‘s all out of key. Why don‘t you have a fireplace, Mr. Raymond?‘ be asked, turning to Baker. Raymond gave Baker a glance, and the plump one waded in: "Too little wood in this country. Cook, draw up a chair for the lady." Raymond‘s eyes flashed with a silent menace, but he did as he was told, and as be put the chair down for Ann he dusted it with his bat, Raymond curtly replied, "I‘ll try bard." "I never kuew bow grateful the shade of a tree could be," Ann said partly to Louis and partly to Baker. Is it al ways so fiercely bright here?" _ Louis was husky voiced with joy. "Did you see that, Ann? I‘ll have to work that in somewhere." Baker continued, in the same tone, "Can‘t you rustle a little grub for the company, Jack?" Baker, who was gaining self control, trrned to Aun. ."We bave to humor our cooks out here. They‘re scarce and migihty uncertain in their mindsâ€"stop and shy at nothin‘, like a lococd stcer." "Ob, no; this is an unusual spell. J mean it is rather"â€" Lonis clapped his bands. "Ob, isn‘t the talk good, Ann? Aud these chairs â€"aren‘t they fine?" 7 Ann ignored the chairs, but studied the cook, whose. curiously absorbed, sullen yet deft movements interested her. Ie appeared to be about thirty years of age, and his lean, powerful figure dignificd the rough and dust stained clothes he wore. His profile was stern and manly, but his chin was youthful. His eycs she had not yet Rayrmond, on his part, was fairly abasbed by the grace and youthful charm of his visitor.

And, imâ€" gerturbable as be looked, his heart sank within bim, and if be could bave fied honorably he would bhaye done se instantly.

His hands were noticeably fine, and the poise of his head expressed strongth and pride. He was very brown, almest as brown as the leather culls be wore on his arms.

"Wen, no; he has to help with the cattie cnce in ewhile." Raymond called to Perry, who was seated on the doorstep. "Perry, jump yeur horse and round up a dry cottomâ€" wood snag. This brush is of no sort of use. I want a hot fire." Louis beamed on Aun. "He‘s talking just like Waliter Owen‘s heroes." Aun silenced him. "Hush! He‘ll hear you." Baker, quite ready to take a fall out of Raymond, interposed: "He‘s a little bard at first, but reel sociable when you git him started. He‘s shy as a bit when they‘s any company Raymond uttered a cough made Baker start. "I guess I‘ll and see what that driver has done his horses," #:4 Louis sprang up. "I‘ll go, too, if you don‘t mind, sis." As Aun looked round the low celled room in which the files buezed her eyes fell upon a little case of books in the corner. For lack of something better to do, she rose to inspect them. She was surprised to find them mainly e# says, and woudered who of these mon read Emerson and Burroughs. One of them was a book of verse. Raymond‘s name was on the fly leaf. ; *How haudsome the cook is!" was her inward exclamation as she returnâ€" ed to her seat. She was not one of those who sit in silence when they wish information, and, lifting ber volce & little, she said: "I understood Mr. Barnett to say that you had a woman to cook for you?" Raymond shifted a stove lid. "We _ He peered into the coffeepot. "No one but you." § Ann sat in silence for a moment. "I didn‘t understand.. Mr. Barnett said"â€" Raymond straightened and looked at her somberly. "If Barnett paid a little more attention to his ranch and less to poloâ€" I wrote him, more than a week ago, that Jonesy was pullin‘ his freight." He returned to his cooking. Ann composedly went on, "Was Jones the name of the foreman?" "Where is she?" foj & s "Goneâ€"a week ago." , " * "Isn‘t there any woman about the place?" e "No, he was assistant; but he wias married, and his wife was our dough twister. He‘s gone to Bkytown gold camp. ‘The whole country is full o‘ the fever." Ann opened her eyes at the signifâ€" eance of this phrase. "Then you don‘t do it as aâ€"a business." Ann, with a note of sympathy in her voice, said: "I don‘t like to see a big, strong man cook. Do you get extra pay for it?" "Not a cent. We all take turns at it, to tell the bonest truth." « "I hope you‘re the best cook?" "That wouldn‘t be saying much, lady. I cook in self defense." "Not by a whole row o‘ steers. Do you like prunes and rice?" he asked hastily. Ann looked into the dish which he held out toward her and gravely reâ€" plied; "I don‘t think I ever ate sny. You don‘t mean they‘re cooked to gether?" "That‘s what. It sure makes a fil} ing combination," said he, dishing some out before her. "I can well believe it," she replied with a humorous intonation. "Let me taste it. Perhaps I‘ll like it." As she mibbled a little of the mess from the spoon she glanced up at him with a qucer little smile that made the room whirl before his eyes. "It seems a nu tritious mixture." 5 He recovered bimself. "Ob, it‘s a hearty mess, all right. My cooking isn‘t fancy"â€" didn‘t say that, lady." "I beg your pardon," Ann hastened to explain, "I didn‘t mean to criticise. I didn‘t intend to hurt your feelings. I‘m sure it‘s a very tasty disb." "Ob, I don‘t blame you; but, you see, we‘re not running a summer hotel exâ€" actly. Still, we‘ll make you as comâ€" fortable as we can while you stay." "By which you mean to hint you hope I won‘t stay long." She was frankly amused. s He became very sincerely grave. "I "But you meant it. I‘m not obtuse. I know when I am out of place. I shall flee tomorrow." She was forcing his hand, as he well knew, but heâ€" remained gravely simâ€" ple. "I‘ll be sorry if our grub or anyâ€" thing else should scare you out." She changed the subject quickly. "I €an see that Louls is to be perfectly happy down here. I am glad I came:. I shall feel much more resigned to his being bere now that I bhave met Mr. Raymond and you." Raymond remained . inexpressive. *Your brother is an enthusiast, I beâ€" lieve you said.â€"Heo‘ll be more charita« bie thanâ€"than you, for instance." Ann didn‘t like his emphasis. "I don‘t wonder at your resentment. Ow coming is an imposition, but if I had knownâ€"please be kind enough to adâ€" mit that I didn‘t know how you greve situated."

Bhe was from Colorado." He betrayed new interest. "What was your dollege? Smith?" . § Raymond began to retreat. "Ob, I don‘t know. You seemed about that style. I mean to say, you carry yourâ€" self like a Smith college girl that came down here once. with Mrs. Barnett." He caught up the water bucket,. "Exâ€" cuse me a minute. 1‘ll run down to the spring and get some water." His goâ€" ing was equivalent to flight. Aun lifted her eyebrows in surprise. "No. What made you think it was?" Ann smiled composedly as she sipped her coffee, which was very good inâ€" Louis burst in at the door, "Sis, you ought to see the corrals out here. ‘They bave ninety head of bhorses! Think of that! And I‘m to ride all I want to." Baker, who appeared just behind bim, put in a drawling word: "‘Peared like he wanted to ride four to once, like a cirecus man. Are you gettin‘ somethin‘ to eat, miss?" "Oh, yes, indeed." Louls, throwing down his cap in imiâ€" tation of Raymond, cried out, "I‘m hungry!" Aun turned to Baker. "Mr. Fore man, isn‘t there something mysterious about your cook? Part of the time be speaks like a man of the world and part of the time like a rancher. I think he‘s playing a part, and playing it badly." Ann , pursued her point. "I think he‘s une of those romantic cowboys who have seen better daysâ€"perhaps an English nobleman in disguise." ‘‘Tlry ain‘t none better, miss," reâ€" plied »saker, who began to look a little uncasy. Baker was always ready when a chance to get even with Raymond ofâ€" fered itself. He puckered his plump face into a frown of deep concern. "I guess you‘re some right, miss, but he ain‘t no English lord, 1 don‘t think. We never inquire very close into a man‘s pedigree out here if he can ride a cayuse and fiip a gun. But he‘s American, all right, and a good cook." > "Is Cook his real name?" Baker became cautious. "Did he say his name was Cook? If he did, that goes. I‘m not in the habit of disputing "Wh..l makes you think so?" asked Louis. ‘‘They say he‘s a bully rider,." "No, he didn‘t tell his name, but he intimated that I might call him Cook. Your name is Raymond, isn‘t it?" Baker was again slow to answer. "Did hbe intimate that my name was Raymond ?" Aun after looking at him in silence remarked gravely, "Of course, you‘re both baving fun with us because we‘re from the east, and 1 don‘t think it quite nice in you." Baker began to look distressed. "Oh, see here, miss, you mustn‘t thinkâ€" you‘re all wrong! Why, we‘re delightâ€" edâ€"weâ€"you see"â€" Ann turned to Louis, "Louis, you are living out one of Owen‘s stories this very minute. I want you to stay here until you can meet these people on their own ground." She faced Bakâ€" er again. *"Tell me more about this cook. He‘s a college man, and there‘s some hidden mystery, as the story books say. What brought him to this pass? Is he a fugitive from justice?" Louis, wide eyed with interest, "What did he do it for?" Baker took a seat and appeared to ponder.. "Well, now, I don‘t like to say, You see, it ain‘t safe to tell tales on Cook. If ;ou‘ll swear not to breathe a word"â€" _Baker, pleased with his success, addâ€" ed, "Two of ‘em, in fact." j "Hold up your hands, Louis, and swear!" cried Ann. "Of course we won‘t tell." Baker settled into his chair. ‘"You mustn‘t blame him till you hear the hull story, but he killed a feller back east, somewhere in Illinois." *»n started melodramatically, "Realâ€" Baker, glowing with pleasure in the work of his own imagination, cut loose from his moorings. "It was this way: He was courting a girlâ€"the daughter of a rich farmerâ€"and her family was bot because Rob was poor, and her dad put another fellow on to tell lies about Rob‘s drinkin‘ and all that, and Rob met up with this feller and just natuâ€" rally piped him ful} of soft nose bullets. That led him to seek higher altitudes, as the newspapers say. Now, that‘s the plain truth of the whole business, as I heard it." "Do you read them?" "Great Scott, no! I‘d go to sleep over such things. ‘The Boy‘s Own‘ is about my size." Anns tone was reflective. "That‘s queer, Mr. Barnett said you were a great readgr." «. * BAR€F paicd, then got red. He bad walked into a clever little trap. He wriggled in his chair. "Did he say that? Wellâ€"Iâ€"I used to, but lately"~â€" Ann looked at him keealy and said ealmly: "You also are an impostor. Your name isn‘t Raymondâ€"you‘re not the foreman. You are all bandits and have stoien my cousin‘s ranch and are running it to sult yourselves. I believe you killed poor old ‘Mr. Jones and his wife." Louls pursued the inquiry. "Who was the other man he KWilled ?" "The deppity sherf. Had to do that to get away." Aunn looked about.
