The wbcatfleld was an undulating

"Get back there. Clinton!" co- -> wind

There was ro time for f?irthi?r argu

the two Ores met that tbe sudden leap
of flames might Ignite, tbo vegetation
on the bluff. If It did tbe woods were
doomed. Bnt . tiio farmers fought
valiantly, and little by little the flames
were beaten back from tbo crossroads
until they smoldered down and left
charred and blackened desolation
wherever their blasting Angers bad
touched.
Tired and exhausted, the flro fighters
lay punting In the sand of the roada.
It was lietb who sent a lurking pick
aninny to call tha fugitives home to

As she passed him Ralpb Clinton arose
and followed her.
"See here. Beth." be said disagree
ably. "I'd like to know what I'ro done
to deservo such treatment at your
hands."
Beth turned and surveyed him with
level eyes. "It Isn't anything you've
done. Ralph," she said quietly. **Ou
the contfary, It's what you haven't
done. I don't think yon can understand
how I feei about It, Ralph. I thought
1 cared for you, but 1 am afraid It
was your appearance I loved 'lifter
all. l'lease forget all about mo If you
.can," Beth sold contritely.
"Well. I seem to have got all tliafs
routing to. me today," he said Jauntily.
"Goodby!"
"Goodby." said Betb gently. As
fche watched him walk slowly awny
she felt a pang at the shattering of
a cberfsfced Illusion, while at the same
time th'ere was a.straoge. aweet Joy
In her heart, mlugied with a fear that
she had dallied with real love and
lost It.
Ralph CUnton turned to fling a back
ward taunt. "I suppose you think
you can whistle Ben Wyatt back,
but you're too late. Beth!" Then be
went on aod disappeared.
The girl's face whitened at the taunt
and Its Insinuation, and with a little
strangled sob she leaned against the
friendly trunk of a tree and bid her
eyes.
Ben Wyatfa voice behind her star
tled her to betray telltale tears on
the thick lashes. Grimy and scorched,
hntless and tattered and scratched, be
was a sorry looking lover. Tbe look
In his falthfnl eyes made up for every
thing that seemed lacking.
"I beard what that pup said just
