The deputy-inspector had arrived and was check ing up on the cattle. "You get out of here! I say, you git out, or there'll be trouble!" The farmer and his family were gath mrcA tnerether outside the house, the former in a freniy of rage agatnst the deputy-inspector. "Can't we do anything?" Henry asked Lefty. "NbDe. Except to convince those poor creatures that the law must take it course." At this moment, as they dis mounted from the car, the moun taineer vanished into his house and reappeared with a formidable-look ing Winchester. "Looks uely. We'd better keep out of this," muttered George. "Now you git oat or I'll shoot ye," shouted the mountaineer, pointing his rifle at the unfortun ate inspector. Suddenly there was a clatter of linofs. and rieht into the middle of the affray rode a slender, breeched and booted figure who quickly sua fm her horse, flunsr the reins round the too of the fence, and with rapid steps walked directly towards t.hn enraeed nronrietor, in direct line of his rifle! "For heaven's sake, Martin, are vnn insane? Put down that gun at once," cried the girl. "Now tell mo tVio trouble!1' Her voice, on an imperious note, was beautifully modulated. With a hand on the mountaineer's arm, forcing his gun down, she urneri and faced the alarmed deputy-inspector. Honrv eausrht his breath. The bravery of the child! Indeed she looked little more! And she was beautiful to look at!" "He's Come to kill my cattle, Miss Virginia" quavered the farmer. "He Wants to ruin us. It's a plot agin us. I'm tellin' ye!

As she looked up at him, her heart beat a quick tattoo, anu ti v, hpen Derfectly cool in facing the infuriated mountain eer with his loaded rifle, her breath caught in a little gasp now as sne said: "I've been away at school for the past four years, but I did meet you with my father when I was a skin ny little girl of fourteen or so now I do remember" "Then you'll let me renew an old acquaintance, won't you?" She smiled. She had even white teeth. Her cheeks were like a peach blossom under his look. Her face was a perfect oval. It was framed in soft masses of curley brown hair, caueht at the nane in curia.

"My father will be pleased, I'm sure if you and your friend care to drop in tonight after dinner." Before Henry could help her, Vir ginia was on her horse, wheeled around, and away. The young man stood there as though in a dream gazing after her. Virginia arrived at the big, old shabby house that was her home. 1 -V . J, Rev. Gay Chambers Elected Director Of Regional BTU Rev.

The shelter is for lonely husbands whose wives have been evacuated from dancer sonea. The only daughter of a well-established family, like so many South erners, her people had been impov erished since the Civil War. Her father's sister, a devoted old maid, completed the household. Giving her horse to a darky, the girl a serious expression on her lovely face entered the house through the kitchen. Without her usual cheerv greeting to the old mammy, she walked past her and out to the porch. Through the doorway, the ne gress saw Virginia coming to a halt in front of a swinging bird cage, staring up at it. Lost in her dreams, Virginia saw two birds on the perch instead of one. A smile crept over her features. Was MARRIAGES Joseph Alvan Webster, of Joilet, 111., to Harriet Boyd, of Waynea-ille. this a haDDV omen . . .? Then she snapped into activity.

"Say, who're the boy-friends?" loudly inquired Chotty. "What difference does it make? Come on right over!" Virginia went out into the gar den with a basket and a large pair of riRors.
