He perceived at once that the speak-

jaunty, wide rimmed sombrero. She
looked indeed precisely like the hero-

closed shapely brown arms, and her
neck, bare to her bosom, was equally
sun mit, but she was so round check-

most critical observer could find no
fault with her makeup.

"You're a Smith girl," he abruptly
asserted.
"What makes you think moo?"
"Ob, there's something about you
• Smith girls that gives you dead away."
"Gives its away? I like that!"
"My phrase was unfortunate. I like
Smith girls." he hastened to say.
In dye minutes they were on the
friendliest terms -talking of mutual
acquaintances --a fact which both puz-
zled and hurt Berea. Their laughter
angered her, and whenever she glanc-
ed at them and detected Slone looking
into Wayland's face with coquettish
simper she was embittered. She was
glad when Moore came in and inter-
rupted the dialogue.
Norcross. did not relax, though he
considered the dangers of -cross exam-
ination almost entirely pssed. In this
he was mistaken, for no sooner was
the keen edge of Mrs. Beldela's hunger
dulled than jier curiosity sharpened.
"Where did you say the supervisor
was?" she repeated.
"The horses got away, and he had to
go back after them," again responder),
Brrie, who found the scrutiny of tbe
other girl deeply disconcerting.
"When do you expect him back?"
"Any minute now," she replied, and
ba this she was not deceiving them, al-
though she did not intend to volunteer
any information which mightrass either Wayland or herself.
Norcross tried to create a diversion,
"Isn't this a charming valley?"
Mona took up the cue. "Isn't it?
Its romantic enough to be the back-
drop in a Bret Harte play. I love itl"
Moore turned to Wayland. "I know
a Norcross, a Michigan lumberman,
vice president of the association.. Is
he by any chance a relative?"
"Only a father," retorted Wayland,
with a smile. "But don't hold me re-
sponsible for anything he has done.
We seldom agree."
Moore's manner changed abruptly.
"Indeed! And what is the son of W
W. Norcross doing out here in the for-
est service?'
The ch.ange in her father's tone was
not lost upon Siona. who ceased her
banter and studied the yotmg man with •
deeper interest while Mrs. Belden, de- 1
tecting some restrnint in Berrie's tone,
renewed her questioning, "Where did
you camp last night?"
"Right here."
"I don't see how the horses got away.
There's a pasture here, for we rode ,
right through it"
Berrie was aware that eaeh moment
of delay in explaining the sit -ea don
looked like evasion and deepened the
significance of her predicament and
yet she could not bring herself to the
task of minutely accounting for her •Alf/Jicie

His answer was humorous. 71 am a

They started off at last without hav-
ing learned in detail anything of the
intimate relationship into which the
supervisor's daughter and young Nor-
cross had been thrown. and Mrs. Bel-
den was still so much in the dark that
she called to Berrie: "I'm going to
