THE HORNING ST All. VVTLU OTGTON. . THUESDAY, JAinJAE.YC31 J 1- i On a Pontoon By NORA BRYANT Coprrlcit. rwa. hr Birix nJ : For the first lime In flv yars Whit comb admitted to himself that he xnu tiraL that he had at last wearied of throwing Impossible trestles across Im possible ran jo ni. of climbing the m dlm bible and nccotapJlAblng that which neither nature nor man ever had meant to bo accomplished. He leaned apa!nt tho rope which erred for a railing on the old pontoon bridge and looked up the canyon, where the masadrc Iron ctroctnre that was the work of his brain was sllhonet ted Bainst the sky. It was an AprU afternoon In the mountain, a Bnnday afternoon, so that the tins of steel, the pufilnjc of engines, the shouts of work men, were Hilled. The sulch was as peaceful ss it would bo six months hence, when the army of laborers would depart. leaving only tho Kreat, sfient bridge to mark their occupancy. Wbitctnnb a frank with himself, lie dM not deny In these meetings with himelf fact? to face that tbU restless r. res had ap;warvd because of the precnev of the crrmpln party at the Bidc-a-Wro hunting lodv" up lu Smith' pca- -N"t that hA had nctual j met the party as a whole. The men had wandered down to the bridge, had asked raauy "fool" questions' and wandered lack lo tho camp. At a dis tance he had wen women In well mad riding habit and ontlnjc pawns who had RiTen hlra a horseback thrill. Sud denly he wanted to pet back to tho land of swallowtailcd eoatojsdahlm--aery frocks. p" 'Whitcomb lfhcd and looked down at hli corduroys and hunting boots dis contentedly. The pou toons rocked, and a borro's hoofs sounded suddenly at the end of tho bridge. Coming townrd him was a gtrl lending a sturdy little mountain pony a girl with a baro head, where the sun clanced and glim- tnerrd on tu of copper colored hair, a sirl with fiawlesa skin and eyes like sand hill violets, a zltl whose crrry lmlcr line hrvathed health and viror. mrmniB had x.irrn irra wrrn cccs AJZ.V. it rJ m The sirl la her turn saw a broad m ' " nhouUleml man. dark with tan. above .which hi l!ond hair Aone curiously. Tho corduroy hunting suit was strange ly beouiiu:: t hini. Tin? Kirl stopped tcfori? him. -Can you tell mc" be asked. lf then? is a quicker way for me to get back to the Itidr-a-Ve lode than by the Ion Smith roadV -Yes," ho answered, 'nhcro Is, and If you would not mind waiting for me t t my pony I'll ret you on It. I never could direct you from here." To h!s sTirpriJw and delist the plrl acquiesced readily, but as be turned to fetch his broncho, which ho had left yraslns on tho shore, he gave a gasp. -Great heavens!" And. throwing his ana about the amazed girl, he leaned as far out with her as the rope rail would permit. Entering the bridge at a road pace, the white bell, mule lead lax. was the herd of mules used In building the trestle. There was a boo bardment of hoofs that drowned tho jr!rl frightened cry. The pontoon sank a foot Into the water. There was n roar of trampling feet and a rending crash of the Coor as the herd passed so clo that both their faces were stung by the lashing tails; then silence again In the valley, except for the sounds of retreating hoofs up the mountain road. -Careful, careful T cried Wbltcomb as the girl drew herself from bis arm. -We areaSoatr The strain on the old bridge had been too great. The worn flooring had parted, and. still clinging to a bit of the rope rail, the man and girl were Coating rapidly downstream on one of the pontoons. This little rait rode well out of the water, and the river, swoll en by the spring freshets In the xnoua tains. towed them along at 8 smart pace. The two looked at each other and suddenly sailed. - There Is reaUr not much danger.' tai.iMThltcomb. -I fa five tollea down ta thvT&pklv and two tnlfes below here 9 rtrer narrows so that I shall hare xt tronhle in Liasolnjr n land mark" with -these bits of rope.
