marries him on a boat en route
lo Galveston. She goes home to
break the newt while her bridegroom,
"Stretch" Willoughby,
proceeds to the Montana .ranch
u-here he works, to prepare a
home for her. The news of
Mary's cowboy elopement is a
bitter blow to her father, who
fears the effect on the public
and on'boss Henderson, political
bigwig who is coining to a reception
at the Judge's home
which will' decide his political
fate. Mary promisee to keep
her marriage a secret until after
the reception.

Stretch, In * stale of high excitement,
busied himself about the
ranch. It was the day when Mary
had said she would join him, and
son the train from the East was
almost due.
He poked his nose through the

arrived. Ma Hawklna handed It to

read It. He alowly crumpled it, no

the boss supreme, who
could make or break an aspirant
for office. At Mary's other side sat

"Your father," Henderson was
saying gallantly to Mary, "has
magnificent qualities, but I must
admit I was never aware of them
until I met you."
"Mr. Henderson, you're a dangerous
mat!?' coquetted Mary.
"Enough to turn any girl's head,"
put In Ames, one of her father's
campaign advisers.
"Oh, no," prounced Henderson,
"not this one. If all the young
ladies in. the country were as safe ,
and sane as Mary I'd feel a little ?
more secure about our future!"
In the adjacent kitchen Katie,
the cook, was perspiring over the
dinner, aided by her friend Elly.
It was only her long schooling in
surprises that prevented Katie from
dropping the platter of filets mlgnons
when Stretch marched into
the room through the back door
of the house.
"W-w-well! Wb-what do yon
want?"
"Hello. Where's my wife?
Where's Mary?"
"Oh. Kr?she ain't here."
"Guess she's upstairs," said
Stretch, looking around. "Will you
tell her I'm here?Just got ia
town. I was worried about here,
so I thought I'd come and take her
home."
"She don't work here any more,"
said Elly, the .quick thinker.
Stretch, more concerned than
ever, demanded to know where
Mary lived. But Mary, it seemed,
was very close-mouthed about such
things. Then Stretch had an Idea.
