Raymond, reappearing at the door, put them all into guilty confusion. His €yes were too keen to be withstood, and Ann‘s lashes fell for a moment as he offered the dipper. "Like a cool drink, lady?" She recovered herself instantly. "Thank you, if you will be so kind." Baker threw up both hands. "Hold ou! Don‘t shoot! I‘ll come down. 1 knew I couldn‘t keep the game going." He rose, and bis manner changed, "Now listen. I‘ll tell you the square toed truth. It was my turn to cook, and Raymondâ€"that‘s our bossâ€"wher he heard you was comin‘, knowin‘ I ‘Baker, you‘ll have to play boss while the company‘s here. I‘ve got to toss up the bacon and prunes. Now that‘s the fact, lady." "Bully:" replicd the boy as he took up a spoonful of rice, His eyes followâ€" ed the little figure of the rancher with joy. "John Edwin Bakerâ€"Jack, the boys call me. I never had any other name, I‘m sorry to say, and I came here from Kansas. I never killed anything bigâ€" ger‘n a coyote. I‘m just a plain cow puncher at twentyâ€"six per month." Rayimmond threw a glance at Baker that propelled him through the doorâ€" way as palpably as a kick, then turned to Louis. "IHow does the grub go, youngster?" Aun cut in with a grave face, belied by something in her voice. "I didw‘t ruppose a foreman would stoop to Anu, with conviction, turned to Louls: "Now I believe he‘s telling the truth. What is your name?" "Excuse me, lady, but"â€" He looked about for Baker. Aun interposed. "That‘s twice you‘ve called me ‘lady.‘ No real cowboy ever does that, I‘m told, so you must be an impostor,." The young fellow frowned.. "Whats that ?" Ann, calmly smiling, made her charges specific. "You‘re not the cook. You‘re called Robert Raymond. You‘re the foreman and a graduate of Harâ€" vard university, like all superior cowâ€" boys, and you have gallantly volunâ€" tecred ‘to cook in order that we might eat. ‘ Now, isn‘t this true?" He was interrupted by a series of faint yells, and as they all listened the swift trample of horses‘ hoofs could be beard. Louis sprang‘ up, all excite ment, his eyes glowing. "What is thatâ€"Indians?" Raymond smiled at Ann. "No, only a bunch of cowboys passing." He stepped to the door to study their apâ€" broach, "It‘s a mob of Williams‘ men. Ann went on, "I think it‘s nice of you, Mr. Raymond, toâ€"abase yourself to the rim of a kettle." Raymond‘s face flushed with anger. "See here! What has that fat jackass been saying to you about me?" Raymond was stuuned for a moment, but as she went on his head lifted, and into his eyes leaped a spark of red light. "Wait till I sight that scoundrel, You‘ll have a fine chance to study a cowboy in action. What else did he say ?" "Ie told us all about your fight with your rival. It was very thrilling. It‘s like being a charncter in a novel oneâ€" seif. I‘m quite exaited by the thought." Raymond‘s cyes ceased to glow, a faint smile quivered at the corners of his lips as be bowed gracefully. "Miss Rupert, permit me to astonish you still more. My name, though alliterative, is my own. I have never killed a man"â€" he looked toward the doorâ€""that inâ€" credible ass will be my first. I am not a graduate of Harvard, and 1 did not leave my native town between two days. Does this disappoint you?" Raymond‘s eyes wavered. "Well, yes â€"some of them, but I don‘t care to pose as the student rancher. The boys respect me now because I can ride a horse and pitch hay. 1 make it a point not to air my other accomplishments"~â€" "Most fleeply.

"Howdy, boysâ€"howdy?" he replied coldly. It was plain he was not well pleased by their inopportune call. "Got anything to eat?" asked one of them as be swaggered up. "Sure thing. Tidy up and come in." Raymond, turning to Aun, said gently: ‘Perhaps you.and the boy bad better step into the other room, ‘This gang is eoming in." "They‘re not dangerous?" _ . "No, but some of them are not fit to eat in the presence of a lady." "Louis will want to see your guests," "Very weil," replied Raymond ana turned to meet his visitors, who apâ€" peared fresh from a hasty tollet. "Come right in, boys. What‘s the best word from over the ridge*" 1 don‘t know what they‘re doing here." The rush and trample of hoofs swept nearer, and a group of five drab colf ored borsemen drew up at the hitching pole with joud outcries, each man setâ€" ting bis pony on end with a wrench at The man who entered first was a big, ra whoned, wide mouthed, freckle faced fe low, who gaped in amazement as he caught sight of Aun. ."Iello! What‘s all this?" he asked, hunching the man next him. The insolent suilgarity of his tone brought a flush of anger to Raymond‘s face. "Shut up!" he commanded in & low voice. Then added in explanation, "Some of Barnett‘s folks visiting the ranch." At the moment he hated them all with a sudden realization of their essential cheapness and their filthy manners. As they took seats each man glanced at Aon with furtive, devouring eyes, and she thrilled under the scrutiny as she would have done beneath the glare of a wolf.. She bad a sudden sense of danger. "I am getting close to the cleâ€" mental man," she thought, and by conâ€" trast Raymond assumed new interest, Though his clothing was almost as rough as theirs, his face and voice beâ€" trayed good blood and refinement. She wondered whether Wayne Peabody could stand between such a mob of ruffians and a woman. This man Rayâ€" mond dominated them easily. Louis sat as one entranced studying the groupings in the sunset light, which had begun to dim a little. To bim these men were heroic. Their physical hardilood, their slouching grace, their ruipled hair, their tag ends of kerâ€" chiefs and greasy belts and cuffs were all "bang up material." ‘The avid glare under which Ann shivered was hidden from the eyes of the boy, but Raymond took note of every nudge, every wink that passed, and once or twice he fixed his eyes on the man they called Specâ€" kle in a look which stayed a coarse jest upon bis lawless lips. "Bay, Raymond," called out a little man down by the stove, "you‘d better zustle out your gang and meet that are. It‘s coming right over the ridge this way and is getting worse every Lainute," A Raymond‘s face betrayed keen inter est, ‘"I‘ve becen trying to locate that fire all day. It‘s over about Round Top, isn‘t it ?" "Why didn‘t you ride over and see just where it was?" asked Raymond. *"Too busy," Speckie replicd loudly, and the others laughed. ‘"I‘m after gold now. I‘m sick o‘ forkin‘ hay." Raymond‘s voice grew sterner. "Youw didn‘t leave Williams short banded to fight that fire?" . li¢ landed outside the door on all fours. "Oh, no. It‘s away this side. Looks like it‘s sure to take Williams‘ hay if he don‘t watch out, and yours too." . No matter. whether we did or not; we‘ve got done. Our time was up; we‘ve got our pay. He can fight his own fire; we‘re not responsible." They all laughed as though this were a good joke. . They talked of the great, new mining camp on the side of Mogalyon, whereto they were all bound. "They‘re striking it rich in the grass roots, and we‘re goâ€" ing up to take a hand in it. Why, last week they made three strikes on Pine mountain within fifteen feet of the surâ€" face. They say the placer is turning out $10 a day. So we‘re riding up to turn a rock on our own account. ‘The cattle business is done for. Gold chasâ€" ing is the game now." Raymond‘s next words were as cold and calm as they were unexpected. "You get up and get out o‘ here, every man of you, I mean now." His anger broke out as they started. "I don‘t The liveryman, a short, dirty and very assertive man of small wit, was maintaining himsclf against one of the rlders in an argument. "I punched cattle all overâ€"themâ€"hbills," he was s#ayâ€" ing. "I know it‘s all another fake like that old Mount Horeb business in ‘70. It‘s nothin‘ but a cattle rangeâ€"a lot o‘ smooth hills"â€" "Maybe it is for the best, but I have a feeling that something is going to happen to you. I don‘t like to go back without you. 1‘ll stay on a day or two longer anyhow. I want to find out more about conditions here. I bave a queer. feeling at my beart. I don‘t want to leave you. Let us go in." A kerosene lamp stood among the dishes, and the driver: of their team and two late coming horsemen and the Mexican boy were all eating together. Raymond was not to be seen, and Ann realized, with a pang of dismay, how wholly she was depending upon him. "Without him I shall be scared," she admitted to hberself. ‘The other men paid yery little direct attention to ber beyond a moment‘s awkward prnuse and a lowering of their volces. They continued to discuss the fire and their day‘s work. It was plain that they were of different temper from the crowd Raymond had thrown from the door, and yet they were not prepossessâ€" ing. "But they‘ve found the gold. They can‘t be no question about it now. I‘ve blustered: "I see you again. 1 get you for this. You crawl for this." Raymond‘s. hand dropped upon bis shoulder, and hbe landed outside the door on all fours. With his hand on his revolver, the young foreman stepped out and watched them mount. Ann could hear their threats as they rode away, and Louis, breathless, abâ€" sorbed, his mouth open, stood in the CHAPTER IV. NN had been absorbed & study of the cowboys. l.;her own walk of life even‘ the basest of men approached her clad in linen and broadclothâ€"aleek beastsâ€"with civility; but here were males whose lean jaws clamped upon food with the eanger baste of wolves, men primitive as Picts, with less of law than Zulus, They were not outâ€" laws from society, for they had never known society. They were desperadoes for diversion. Ann smiled. but answered doubtfully, "He‘se as a une. resolute fellow." Her sisterly anxiety reappeared. "But 1 don‘t like to leave you bere, Buddic. These men, the best of them, scem rough and reckless. I think you‘d bet ter go back with meâ€"really I do." Raymond‘s motive in thrusting them out appeared more and more a deed to win applause. It lowered him, made him Jless admirable in every way, and when be spoke to her she withdrew into herself with a glance which chillâ€" ed and depressed him. The powerful young rancher, a mixâ€" ture of barbarism and culture, engrossâ€" ed her quite as a mountain lion might have done. His action could not be foretold, and she was amazed to find herself carried entirely outside herself, shaken and dismayed. As he set to work to put the table in order, silent and sullen as before, she watched him from hber corner with intent gaze. ‘"How deeply can I trust him?"‘ she asked herself. "Don admires him, and be certainly is a man of intelligence." He‘s a splendid type. Don‘t you think "Ob, no!. I‘m all right here, sis. Rob will look after me. It‘s just what I "Of course his character is of no conâ€" sequence to me," she thought, "except in so far as be is likely to influence Louis." The situation suddenly lost its spirit of comedy and took on a very serious cast. ‘The plan of leaving a sensitive, poetic boy. to the company and influence of men like these became questionable, even dangerous. Baker was a foolish and stupid person, and these rough riders troubled ber; but Raymond, to whom the boy‘s eyes aliâ€" ready turned with fervent admiration, was more corrupting still, for whatever weaknesses he might have would sureâ€" ly come to be active and vital forces in debasing others. The whole design, in the light of this encounter, assumed the face of folly. Louis, who had gone to see the sunâ€" set, called to her excitedly, and as she stepped outside the door she, too, caught her breath in wonder and adâ€" miration. She turned to the dim purple range, erumpled into ridges and slashed with deep valleys. "They may be alluring to you, laddie, but they scare meâ€"a litâ€" tle. Well, perhaps you‘ll be able to go and see what they are like by and by, when you are stronger." "Perhaps Rob will take me. I would not be afraid of anything with him.

Inâ€" stead of a night of hard riding and laâ€" borious wet bag swinging he had givâ€" en himself the pleasure of sitting in conversation with a beautiful and culâ€" tured girl. "I haven‘t earned this," he admitted, "I don‘t deserve it. It‘s tos good to be true, but Barnett will apâ€" prove. Anyhow, I‘m going to enjoy it "Well, all is, when you meet him next you pull first," the little man replied very seriously. At last the men were all mounted and, .with a final command from the boss, spurred: away into the gloom, complaining, weary, but faithful. Rayâ€" mond felt a little foolish as he faced the liveryman from Wallace. "No, I‘m not goingâ€"at least not until I get Barnett‘s people fixed for the night. You‘ll have to bunk in the tool shed, I reckon." ~Raymond was nnimpressed. "They‘re halfwidy to Wallace by this time, and, besides, Speck is a big bluf anyway. We‘re rid of him forever." Out by the corrals the trampling and snorting of excited ponies could be beard mingled with the muttered oaths of the men as they hurriedly roped and saddled. The sky was darkening rapâ€" idly, and the pillar of smoke already glowed like a brazen tower. It rose straight into the air for hundreds of feet, then spread away into a long. level cloud, showing that the wind had not yet begun to fan the flame. ‘"‘That‘s all right.

Louis was looking ever his sketching material, his mind busy, with plans for work, when a shout outside announced Raymond‘s return. The lad rushed to the door. "Ob, Ann, come quick!" he called a moment later. "Here he comes! Oh, can‘t he ride!" Ann reached the door just as Rayâ€" mond dashed up and swung from bis saddle. His voice was not loud, but it was stirring. "Boys, the fire is climbing the ridge, and we‘ve got to fight it. ‘Gather up your blankets and gunny sacks. ‘We‘ll find Williams over there with some water barrels, Hustle now! I‘ll be along a Jittle later. Tom, you take charge till 1 come." "You‘re needed right here," Raymond sternly replied. "We‘re likely to be out all night, and your sister needs you." The talk among thd men shifted again to a discussion of the fire. "I hope Bob won‘t order us out to fight it toâ€" night. I‘m tired as a dog," said one of The men shoved back one by one and with sly, curious glances at the girl, sitting so cold and white and still against the wall, went out to smoke and discuss ber with the driver. Bakâ€" er, mindful of his duties, remained. "Don‘t be uneasy, miss, One of us will stay here anyhow." With groans and half jocular curses the weary men, loyal to their duty, scattered to rope fresh ponies and gatber up such material as they had for fighting fiame, while Raymond came to the door and brusquely said to Ann: "I‘ll leave Baker to look after you, Miss Rupert. 1 hope you won‘t mind." â€" IIe warmed beneath the allurement of her glance.

And he went away filled with a delicious sense of having suddenly been honored above his desert. Ann .was accustomed to men who fiew to do her bidding, but this instant victory over the big rancher pleased her unaccountably, and she laughed softly, ncknowledging a glow of conâ€" fAdence and relief in the promise of his presence.

Dr. Bruce Smith, Inspector of Prisâ€" ons and Charities, on Monday gave an expression of opinion regarding . the story that Sheriff Dawson, of St. Catharines, had refused to receive in the county jail an alleged insane perâ€" son, who had been committed by Poâ€" lice Magistrate Comfort for examinaâ€" tion under the law as amended â€"last session. He said: _ *The magistrate has power to have a person who is brought before him as dangerous â€"to be at large on account of insanity deâ€" tained in a safe and comfortable place. Where the place shall be is a matter for the magistrate to decide." ‘"‘In some counties,"" he continued, ‘‘there has been in the past a deplorâ€" able disposition to send an insane to jail, and let them remain there until removed by a provincial bailil to one of the asylums. _ The recent amâ€" endments to the Act are for the purâ€" pose of hastening the admission of all proper cases to the asylums. The tenâ€" dency will now be for the friends of the patient to have application made directly to the medical superintendent of the asylum in that district. _ As soon as the terms of the recent Act are understood they will be better appreciated, and the jails will be kept for the criminal class and mot used for those suffering from mental disâ€" eases. Wise provision has been made by the recent Act to prevent sending the insane to jail except in exceptionâ€" al cases where they are so violent that there is no other place that they may be held in custody. The Act will also have a tendency to prevent sendâ€" ing harmless old people to jail whose mental weakness is entirely due â€" to semility," When a woman suffers from depressâ€" ing weaknesses, she then keenly realâ€" izes how _ helplessâ€"how _ thoroughly worthless she is.

Observant men in the United States declare that the increase of immigraâ€" tion is of good omen for the future of the country. The immigrants were coming in continually larger numbers and were of a much better elass than formerly. It is said that the immigration to the south is larger than ever, and the kind is most deâ€" sirable on account ofâ€" their wealth, their industry and their knowledge of conditions. President Roosevelt gives his idea on the immigration question, which we will no doubt gemerally accept, when he says that, in his opinion, the â€"migration into Canada is not only a good thing for Canada, but also a good thing for the immigrants themselves. They would find, he said "in this country laws as good . as those in the United States, and perâ€" haps better administered.
