WHAT HAPPENED SO PAR
Bud Lee, horse foreman of the Bltie
Lake ranch, convinced Bayne Tree--
ors, manager, is deliberatly wrecking
the preperty owned by Judith San-
ford, a young woman, her cousin,
Pollock Hampton, and. Timothy Gray,
decides to throw up his job, jodith
arrives and announces site has bought
Gray's share in the ranch and will
run it. She distharges Trevors.
The men on the ranch dislike tak-
ing orders from a girl, but by subdu-
ing a vicious horse and proving her
thorough knowledge of ranch life,
Judith wins the best of them over.
Lee decides to stay.
Convinced her veterinarian, Bill
Cro•wdy, is treacherous, Judith dis-
charges him, re-engaging an old
friend of her father's, Doc. Tripp.
Pollock Hampton, with a party of
friends, cornes to the ranch to stay
permanently. Trevors accepts Hemp -
ton's invitation to visit the ranch,
Judith's messenger is held ttp and
robbed of the monthly pay roll.
Bud Lee goes to the city for more
money, getting back safely with it,
though his horse is killed under hint.

udith and Lee, investigating the
scene of the holdup, climb a moun-
ain, where the robber must have hid-
den.
A cabin in a flower -planted clearing
%cites Judith's admiration. It is
Lee's, though he does not say so.
They are fired on front ambush, and
Lee wounded. Answering the fire,
they make for the cabin. Here they
find Bill Crowdy wounded, Dragging
hint into the building, they find he ,
has the money taken from Judith's i
messenger, Beseiged in the cabin,
they are dampened to stay all night,
Hampton, at the ranch, becomes
uneasy at Judith's long absence. With
Tommy Burkitt he goes to seek her,
arriving in time to drive the attack- I

'It tell her that he likes her; that
it would be fen for him to come and
play With her; that he Would be kind
and courteous; but that he considers
her very snitch as he would a foolish
tittle butterfly!"
Again she startled Min. He looked
at her -wonderingly. But before he
could frame a bantering reply, Marcia
had involuntarily grinned at his arm
with a look upon her face that first
was sheer bewildered astonishment,
and was crying for hint to look yon-
.
der.
Judith had come.
Across the floor, now nearly des-
erted, Bud Lee and Marcia stared at
her. She was coming toward. them,
her dainty slippers seeming to kiss
their own reflections in the gleaming
floor. It was J-udith and not Judith.
It was some strange, unknown Judith.
A wonderfully gowned, transcendent-
ly lovely Judith. A Judith who had
king hidden herself, masquerading,
and who now stepped forth amiling
and bright and vividly beatitiful; a
Judith of bare white arms, round and
scit and rich irt their tender curves;
a Judith whose filmy gown floated
about her like a sun -shot mist; a Ju-
dith whose skin above the low-cut
sorsake was lake a baby's, whose ten-
der mouth was a red flower, whose
hair was a shimmering mass of
bronze -brown, whose eyes were Aph-
rodite's own, glorious, dawn -gray; a
Judith of rare maidenly charm; a
glorious, palpitant, triumphant Jud-
ith.
It might have been just because it
was fitting that they should greet
their hostess so; it might have been
because the men and women %vim saw
this new Judith were caught suddenly
n a compelling current of admiration,
that above the hum of voices rose
from everywhere a quick .clapping of
hands as she came through the room

eyes flashed a joyous acknowledg-

the words go, holding only the vib-
rant music of the voice.
She had stirred him, and now .he
did no f seek a theory for -a buckler;
the sight of her, the brushing of her
fingers against his, made riotous tu-
nitile in MS' blood.
' "The first strains of a waltz joined
the lure of Judith's warm loveliness,

IOW of 'quick wonde'r. His face was
almost stern; ins hint of a smile had
cotne info hii'eyes. He merely caught
her Vs hint as thauglt she were his,
and swung her out into the whirl of
dancers. '
"You are rather—abrupt, are'n't
you?" said Judith coolln.
"Am I?" he asked gravely. "I don't
know. It 'seems to ane that I have
been loitering, just loitering while—"
He didn't attempt to finish. He
held Judith in his arms while for him
the room was emptied of its gay
throng, the music no longer pulsed;
its beat was in the renlim of their
bodies, swaying as one.
The clanee over, she was lost to
him in the crowd of nien who came
eagerly to her, His eyes followed her
wherever she went. • A slow anger
kindled in his heart that she should
let other men talk with her, that she
.should suffer another man to take her
in his arms.
A nurnber of country dances fol-
lowed. He stood by the door waiting
a little before he went again to Jn-
dith. He saw Marcia across the room
beckoning to him with her fan. The i c
was nothing to lo but to go to her,
He frownedbut went, still watching
for Judith, Marcia wanted him to
meet some of her friends. He shook
bands with Hampton, was introduced
to Rogers. Marcia explained that Mr.

perfect wonders in the education of

Farris, the artist. BAI: Fa rriS broke

not believe his eyes. "You! Here!"
"Iloilo, Dick," Lee answered quiet-

that you were the artist Hampton

Farris' hand went out swiftly to be
gripped in Lee's. Marcia, Mystified,
looked from one to the other.
"You two know each other? Why,

That's all of the flat little story,
Di'Ic'k'.;:u might have let me know, it
seente to nae," eitid Parris a bit stiffly.
"So I might," answered Lee vela',
thoughtfully. "I was going to in the
first place. But you'll reenember you
were off somewhere travelling when
the bubble broke. When Dick Farris
travels," arid his grave smile came
back to him, "let no mad letter think
that it can track him down. Then I
hit my stride in this sort of life; I
grew away from the old news; the
years passed as years do after a man
s twenty-five; and I just didn't write.
But I didn't forget, Dickie, old man,"
le said warmly, and his hand rested
on Farris' shoulder, "You can put it
n that old black pipe of yours and.
inoke it, that I didn't forget. Some
day I planned to hit town again,

uld lang sync."
"You are a fool, David Burrill Lee,"
aid Farris with conviction. "Look
tem; you can take a new start, pull
ourself together, come back—where
ou belong,"
But Lee shook his head.'
"That's like the old Dick Farris I
aid to know," he said gently, "But
his is where I belong, Dick. I don't

When Farris had to go and claim

oft with affection. Then he, too, left
he room and went back to the outer
oar, to his old spot, looking for Ju-
ith.
"The only thing I want itt right
