Innin he saw the turkey the cow -

could have in minclehut while he can-

guessed what she ,meant to, do..
"Draw the turkey. Don't .picic it,"
she gave ins,truetions. Her own hands
were busy trying to make her ,patient
ceemflortable.
After he had drawn the bird, which
vas a 'young, .plump one, he made
under- direction of, theyoung woman

a three-inch coating over the turkey,
then prepared the fire to snake of it

and •piled upon 'the methhot coalpin-

"Keep your fire going till about

"I'll mention to him that you said

Picking vp the rifle, she turned and
walked bo the horse. There was a
little devil-may-caretouch to her
walk, hist as in her Manner, that
eeiggested -a girl spoiled by ovee-much
