Read and there will unfold for
you a romance from which you
will learn how two plucky daugh
ters of the farm yearned for a col
lege education; how their father
gave them the use of a wornout
orchard to secure the money nee
esaary; how they grappled with
the apple raising problem and
Snyder, the sharper, who was cor
nering the apple crop; how their
ambition had much to do with
the futures of two young men,
one rich and one poor; how the
wornout orchard influenced di
rectly or indirectly not only the
lives of four young people, but
college work, college sport and
college morals as well, and how
some of those concerned in this
idyl of farm and college were at
last persuaded to exchange ap
pie blossomsfor orange blossoms.

Mr. ganders looked np
from the harness he was
mending in preparation for
spring's work to see his two daughters
standing, before him.
"WeUr he said, with an inquiring
smile.
"We we want to go to college,"
said Mabel She was the older of the
two, a fair haired girl of seventeen.
Her sister Gladys was a year younger,
a short, plump little girl with unruly
brown hair and an Irrepressible smile.
Tnelr father let the strap he was
holding fall to the floor.
"What for?" he asked.
"To learn things," said Mabel. "We
want to go to the agricultural college
and take the domestic science course.
If you'll come in the house I'll show
you what the catalogue says about It1
Mr. Banders picked up bis strap and
went to work again. "You're mighty
good girls," he said, "and I want to do
all I can for you, but I don't see where
the money to send you to college is
coming from."
Mabel's lip quivered. "Then can't
can't we goT" she asked,
Her father's eyes twinkled as he
looked np. "I'll tell you what I'll do,"
he said. "I'll give you girls the old
apple orchard, and you can use all the
money yon make from It to go to col
lege with."
The old apple orchard consisted of
an acre of apple trees that Mr. San
ders had set out several years before
with the expectation of reaping a
handsome reward when they "Should
reach bearing age. But the locality
was not especially well adapted to ap
ple growing. Weeds and insects play
ed havoc, and the orchard turned out
to be anything but a paying proposi
tion.
Mabel turned abruptly and left the
ahop, but Gladys sat down on a nail
keg, with her forehead puckered up in
thought After a few moments she got
np and went over to the window.
There had been a hard frost the night
before, and the apple trees Vera laden

"What you want to do first," said
Mr. Pearson, "Is to prune your trees
cut, out about a third of the old limbs
and let the sun have a chance to get
in. Jeff's out pruning now, I tbtnk.
Don't you want to come on out and
see how It's done?"
Their feet made no noise In the soft
snow, and Jeff, who was busily saw
ing away, did not notice them until
his father spoke.
He turned quickly and almost fell
out of the tree In bis embarrassment
at seeing the girls. He was a tall,
lank, awkward boy of eighteen, but
when his honest smile, lighted up the
freckles on his usually solemn face
his ungatnllness was forgotten.
"Hello!" he said In response to the
girls' greeting as he started to climb
down from the tree.
"Hold on," his father said. "Mabel
and Gladys here want to learn how to
prune apple trees. They are going to
ship a carload of apples from their fa
ther's orchard next fall." And he
chuckled as he pulled off his cap and
rubbed his head.
"I believe you're Just making fun
of us," declared Gladys. "I don't see
why we can't raise Just as good spples
as you do."
Mr. Pearson slapped his hat back
on his head and drew bis face down
"MaBBIi AlfD GLADYS HTOB

solemnly. "I'm not making fun," he
assured them. "Let me take the saw,
Jetf." And e proceeded to give them
a lesson In practical pruning.
"Do you see how It's done?" be ask
ed as he finished the tree and smesred
some white lead on the larger wounds.
Don't try to leave pegs long enough
to hang your sunbonnets on, but cut
the limbs off close."
"We're ever so muck obliged," said
Mabel. "We'd better be going home,
hadn't we?" she added, turning to
Gladys.
Come in and get warm first said
Mr. Pearson. "Jeff 11 bring your horse
around In .tew moments."
Jeffs few moments wss nearly half
an hoar, and It was slmost darn when
he drove Mollle up to the door.
Here's a few books you may be in
terested in," Mr. Pearson said as tney
started to leave. "Most of the folks
around here don't think much of book
farming, but Just as like ss not they
mar be mistaken." He Auckled to
himself as he closed the door.
"Ain't there something I can do to
help you with your spple trees r ssk

Gladys. "I ain't very busy 'now. and
I thought maybe"
"Oh, thank you! Bat I guess we'll

long, steady stride that covered The
ground so quickly and easily.
One, two, three, four miles, and
still the little mare showed no signs
of slackening her pace. There was
no wind nothing but stars and snow
and that long, never ending stretch of
white road. It was glorious, this night
ride, or would have been If It were
not so grimly necessary.
"Can't you go Just a little faster,
Moflle?" Gladys whispered.
Mollle gave a leap forward. It al
most seemed as if they were flying, so
little noise did the mare's swift hoof
beats make on the snowy road.
Suddenly she gave a leap sideways.
There was a crash as one of the run
ners struck a stone that some one bad
carelessly lost from his load that after
noon, and Gladys dived headlong into
the soft snow at the roadside.
CHAPTER IL
G
LADYS picked herself up snd
shook the snow out of her
eyes. The soft snow had
broken her fall, and kept her
from getting hurt Sbe looked around
for Mollle and saw her standing In a
drift up to her knees a little ways
down the road, with nothing left of the
cutter but the thills. In a moment
Gladys had waded through the snow
to the mare and was loosening the
thill straps. As soon aa the thills were
unfastened she leaped to Mollie's back
and beaded her again toward town
and the doctor.
Mollle was much better as a driver
than as a rider, and Gladys found rid
ing her without a ssddle bard. Jolting
work. But sbe aet her teeth snd held
grimly to the little mare's mane, urg
ing her to a still faster gait
She was almost to the town now and
could see the light in the doctor's big
house on the corner. In another mo
ment she was at the door. Giving
Mollie's reins a twist around the post
she ran up the steps and rang the
doorbell
The doctor's wife opened the door.
"The doctor T sbe said In reply to
Gladys' breathless question. "I'm sor
ry, but be started to Kenaett Just
about ten minutes ago."
Gladys started back as if she had
been struck. The doctor's wife sprang
forward and caught her. "Why, my
girl," she cried, "you're all tired out
Come In and get warm."
Gladys shook ber bead. "I I must
catch the doctor," she gasped. "Has
be a saddle I can taker'
Tbe.doctor's wife,. quickly realizing
that this was no ordinary call, pointed
toward the bam and hurried into the
house after the lantern. It was but
a moment's work to throw off the
harness and replace It with the sad
die. Gladys hesitated an Instant and
then reached for the doctor's riding
whip. She was so stiff that sbe could
hardly swing Into the saddle, but she
smiled bravely liack at the good doc
tor's wife ss sbe turned away into
the darkness.
Kensett was directly west and ber
own boms was straight south. If sbe
could catch the doctor soon enough
be mlgbt still be able to get there in
time. But what chance did a weary
colt ridden by a stIU wearier girl have
of overtaking a fresh team of bron
chos? Gladys leaned forward and
spoke caressingly, to Mollle. The little
mare sprang nimbly forward, but
Gladys felt rather than saw that sbe
was not running as easily ss st first
Minute after minute passed and still
the mare held plucklly to ber pace. At
last after what seemed hours of bard
riding Gladys beard the tinkle of sleigh
bells ahead. She knew the time bad
come for the final spdrt She raised
ber whip to strike the straggling mare.
but threw it In the snow Instead.
"Mollle!" she cried, leaning forward.
"Go. Mollle, go Jnst for a few mo
ments more!"
Mollle gave a snort that was almost
a SToan and strucs a eiigaiiy raster
pace. Louder snd louder sounded the
bells, snd soon-Gladys could see the
slelsb as s black speck ahead.
Then sbe called with all ber might
and the sound of the bells stopped
abruptly. In a moment sbe waa be
side the doctor's cutter and In a few
casnlna sentences told ber story.
"Bide up to the Greys' and bare
them put tbat colt In the barn and
give ber a good robbing down," the
doctor ordered. "She's done a great
nlcht's work tonight And tell Mrs.
Grey to give you some hot coffee and
put you to bed!" He snouted tbe last
words back ever bis shoulder aa he
turned quickly around and commenced
hia nart of tbe race wtta ure ana
death.
' That climb np tbe bill to tbe Greys
Bcemed harder to both Mollle and
Gladys than all tbe rest together. Mr.
Grey lifted the exhausted girl from
the caddie and led tbe steaming mare
way to the bams, while his wife pat
Gladys to the) tag chair bade ec the
tore and aet tbe old granite coffeepot
on to boil.
At noma Mrs. fenders and Mabel
watched and waited anxiously. Mr.
Sanders moaned and tossed la fever

had tainted tightly arennd hie leg had
tailed to atop the bleeding entirely,
aad the faces of tbe silent watchers
grew white with fear aa they aaw tbe
blood slowly nosing from the tightened
bandages.
Tbe patient grew weaker and more
dettrkms aa the boars panned. Mrs.
Banders ran to the window every mut
ate or so to peer eat into tbe darkasee.
"He naght to be coming!" she cried
hreaerfcally. "Oh, what If anything
ane happened to Gladys?"
Mabel tried to comfort her, hot with
Bttle iscrisir. At wet they beard the
Jingle cf eMghbsila, and almost be
fore they had time to took the big
dorter hlmeetf waa at tbe door.

Mabel ran to pot awty the aewarhoe

worked, nmehew bat aaaetarfnl proa-

ceeded to tell the story of-aa much
of that lonely ulglit rldo as be knew.
When Gladys came down to break
fast the next morning an unwonted
pallor on her cheeks was the only visi
ble effect of her hard ulght ride. She
stopped lu surprise as sue entered the
dining room .door. A tall, litmdxoiiie
youth, with the self asMurvd siulle of
one who has supreme confluence lu Ills
own ability, to do and any the. rlhl
thing at the right time, came forward
with s low bow.
"Harold Du Val!" cried Gladys.
"What are yon dolug out here?"
Harold held out his band with a
smile. "1 might ssk you the some
question, only I happen to know a)
ready," he replied. "You're a brave
girl, Gladys."
"You haven't answered my question
yet," persisted Gladys, tbe color
heightening In her. cheeks.
"Ob, thaf s easy. Didn't you know
Mr. Gray was my ancle? I've been
sick, and ths folks sent me ont her to
recuperate."
Tbe announcement of breakfast cut
short further conversation. After the
meal waa finished Harold insisted on
bitching up and taking Gladys home
"I thought you were sick," sbe ssid.
"I can ride Mollle Just aa well as not1
"I'm not sick enough to let tbe girl
who used. to work most of my prob
lems for me ride eight miles on horse
back," be replied ss he put on bis
overcoat and started for the barn.
"What have you been doing since
yon left high school?" asked Gladys
when tbey were on their way.
Harold winced a little at tbe tone of
her question. "Oh, nothing much,'
he answered. "Father wants me to
go to college, but I don't like to study
wen enough."
"What are you going to do?" Gladys
went on. '"You eurely don't mean to
ge on doing nothing all yoar life."
"Why not?" Inquired Harold as be
tilted his bat a tittle to one aide. Tm
having a pretty good time aa it It."
"Is that all the ambition you aave-
Just to have a good time?" A dis
appointed surprise shone in Gladys"
honest brown eyes.
"Oh, come now," Harold answered
lightly. "This la getting too serious.
Let's talk about something else your
self, for lnstsnce."
"There isnt anything to say oa that
subject only oh, I wonder bow dad-
am. SAjromns oaukd aaa ma aai n cnu
dy Is. If yon don't stop talking and
drive faster I shall kave to get ont
and ride Mollle.1
Thus admonished, Harold gave the
horse a sharp slap with the reins and
during tbe remainder ef the tide de
voted bis attention entirely to hia driv
ing.
Gladys found ber father tying prop
ped np In bed, cooedooe, bet very
weak from loss of blood. He clasped
ber hand tightly and called her his
brave girl, and she blushed and said
she hadn't done anything, hot for aO
that they aesmed to smdereUBd one
another better from tbat time oa than
they had ever done before.

out of the old orchard." ,
Gladys turned quickly toward him.
"What b It?" she demanded.
'Plant something else In between the
