FLIP th* piller a leetle higher up,
Mirey,” said the old man, peev
ishly. “Th* cher hurts my bach an’
th’ sun’s'a shinin' right in my eyes.”
The giyl tenderly. adjusted the pil
low and with masculine strength
lifted the rude chair with its paraly
tic burden to a shadier spot under
the apple’ tree.
“Ye ain’t a treatin’ .Take right,
Mirey.” grumbled the ohl man. “He
ain’t said nothin', but I kin see it;
tin’ you a goin' to ntarry him this
fall.”
“Mebbe I am—mebbe I ain’t,” the
girl said, impatiently.
The old mun looked up at her anx
iously.
“I knowed it,” he exclaimed. “I've
seed it a cornin’ ever,Hence that Evans
come a snoopin’/round here, a pizen
^jain'i/"tvith his stories ’bout
ShBW, an’ great Uldies, tin’

up here in this wild place?
Iiws what he is, ennyhow?
not he’s one of them revnoo
^spies.”
“Ye’ve got no call to slander him
ffhnt a way, pap,” retorted the girl,
j hotly. “Lots of them city folks
| spends their vacations in th’ moun
tains. ^n* ennybody kin see he’s a
gentleman. lie ain’t no spy.”
There were hot words over the
young city man, leaving the old man
Sullen unit dissatisfied and the girl
defiant. As she turned to go he said:
’Mirey. they’s sum thin’ 1 clean for
to tell Jake when he come by, an’
fnust see him. He ain't more’n
If way to tli’ still, yit. Kun, Mirey,
finest bring him back."
p he girl hurried obediently down
steep path and along the base of
) •mountain, smiling as she went.
*‘I kin coax him into it after while,”
she murmured, "an’ then 1 kin he
sumbody. Hob says I kin have enny
thing 1—"
A crash, a rattle of descending
stones, a smothered ejaculation, and
two struggling, interlocked men
rolled down into the path below tier.
One of them, wrenching the revolver
from the other's hand, urose panting,
tall and powerful. His opponent lay
quite still, blood trickling from a
wound on the curly, handsome head.
With a choking cry Mirey sprang
forward and raised the wounded head

“He's only stunned a lcotle,"
growled the tall man. "He was a
fullerin' me, an' when I s'prised him
he tried to shoot. He's a spy,
Mirey.”
"You lie, .Take!” the girl cried, de
fiantly. “An’ this won’t do ye no
’good, nuther.”
, The tall man bent down and from
(he inner pocket of the stylish coat
drew a long, official-looking envelope,
“Look at that, Mirey,” he cried,
with a note of triumph. “Frum th’

took the opened sheet and her sun
browned face turned pale. The
wounded head dropped from the en
circling arms and she staggered to
her feet, swaying, crushing the let
ter in her hands. The man at her
feet stirred and sighed. The tall man
knelt and with his handkerchief
bound the unresisting hands cruelly

iecide that.”
The girl shuddered and turned
(•way.
“You’ll have to go an’ tell th' bova.
Mirey, while I watch him. He musn't
I jit away.”
I “I—I kain’t—bring them, Jake. I’ll
I wntch him. He’ll not pit away,” sav
J agely. “Give me th’ pun.”
I Jake’s eyes looked rrarchingly
Into hern. She ruet the scrutiny un
flinchingly.
“Kin I trust ye. Mirey?”
“Don't I know wliat’ll happen ef lie
pits away.” she cried, indignantly.
“D'ye think I'd send pap and - and
you—to prison? I’ll kill him first.
Go—uir nurry."
She seated herself on a nearby
bowlder and with drawn face and
cold, pitiless eyes regarded the un
conscious eaptive. The bees, home
going, heavy-laden, droned musically
among the blossoms, loath to leave.
From the distant river came the
faint whistle of a passing boat. A
great, black buzzard flapped heavily
down upon the dead limb of a
sycamore, wiped his hooked beak on
his sable plumage and cocked his
baleful eye inquisitively at the fallen
\nari.
The captive heaved a long, quiver
ing sigh, opened his eyes, struggled,
find sat up, staring about him con
fusedly.
“Mirey," he said, faintly. “Is that
you, Mirey?”
THE ABANDONED ORCHARD.
Halt way up the southern slope
There it dumbly Unger*.
Well-nigh dead to c-ven hope.
Passed by kindly Angers.
Sturdy trunk and gen’rou* bough
Which so oft have given.
Twisted, sear and barren now;
Wind and lightning riven.
Once this orchard old was young,
Ooaxed and loved and tended;
Once Its limbs a-bioseom swung,
And with fruit low-bended;
Once the robin end the wren
Hastened here and nested;
High It piled Its itore—and then
TUI the spring it rested.
Oh, those dear, dear summersleng.
Pilled with peace and duty;
Days of hours a golden throng.
Nights of starry beauty!
Each October breathed: “Well done”’
Winter’s friendly rigor
Held it snug; and ralr, and sun
Called It forth In vigor.

harshly. “I'll shoot—an’ ye know I

"Hain't ye played th* hypocrite

sneered.
The breeze rustled the letter at
her feet. He glanced at it and
started.
"I guess the play's over,” he ob
served, wearily.
She made no reply. After awhile
he looked up again and said softly:
“Mirey, before they—before I go—
will you forgive me?”
She turned away her head to hide
the tears of wounded pride that
Would not he repressed.
“It was mean,’ cruel, despicable.”
he continued, “but we have to do
such things sometimes -they're a
part of our orders. I wish you could
understand and forgive tp''. Mirey.”
“Forgive ye!” she burst out. “Fer
give ye! You lied to me, made love
to me, learned me to love—yes, to
•love—sich a make as you. You’d
have sent poor old pap to prism, nn’ !
made me an outcast a convirt'- dnr

“Mirey, it wasn’t all a lie. 1 did

tended to arrange that your father
might escape if—”
“Then ye wouldn’t hnve done yer
| duty. You’d have played traitor to
both sides. Don’t talk to me. i don’t
never want to hear yer voice.”
There was a long silence -then the
man remarked:
“I suppose Juke has gone after the
fi^ng.”
“Don’t mention Jake’s name. You
! ain’t fit to. He’s a man.”
“Look here. Mirey. Do you realize
what you are doing? You are help
ing murder me, us surely as though
you had shot me through the head
with that revolver. Do you under
stand what that means—to take hu
man life—in cold blood? Had as I
am I never did what you arc doing
now. You are helping murder me,
I Mirey.”
I lie girl shuddered ogam, then
steeled herself.
“How do I know what they'll do
with ye? That’s their bizness not
mine. You an’ them fer that."
“Mirey, you know as well as I that
I’ll never see another sunrise if you
! keep me here 30 minutes longer. You
loved me once, Mirey. An hour ago
you would have gone with me to '.w
ends of the earth. Do you hate me
so now that you w#J stain your soul
with my blood?’’
She gave a grent sob.
“What kin 1 do? 1 daren't let ye
go. Let me alone. Fer God's sake
don’t tempt me.”
He strained his strong wrists, the
handkerchief fell over the supple,
pliant hands, and he sprang to his
feet, defying the deadly weapon
upraised in the shaking hands.
“Stop! I'll have to shoot! I prom
ised Jake—ye’re a spy.”
“Shoot, then, Mirey. I'd better die
that way than by torture. Shoot -
right, here between the eyes be
sure.”
The dark eve* looked into his, filled ;
with tears, and the grim muzzle
dropped,
“O, Rob—I kain’t—I'm a coward.”
He sprang forward, seized , the
weapon, and fired every chamber in
the air.
“Now, you've done your duty,” he
j exclaimed, breathlessly. "You’ve fired
j every bullet at me and only wounded
me as 1 ran. I've a boat concealed at
the river. Goodby, Mirey.”
She grasped his arm and clung to
him desperately.
"Not till 1 know ye won’t inform
on pap and Jake. I must know
that, er I'll hold ye till they come—
an’ they've heered tli’ shots.”
“Could I betray you after you've
saved me? Mirey girl look in my
eyes- they shall never know."
She looked, knew, and released
I him. He stooped to kiss her, hut she
thrust, him back fiercely. He seized j
the brown right hand, pressed it to
his lips, and bounded away. The gill
fell on her knees.
"O, Lord, forgive me fer what I’ve
done. Fergive me fer the lie I'm
about *o tell. An’, O, God, help me
to fr-rgr* him.”
Then she pressed her burning lips
to the brown right hand, rubbed the
spot madly with the crushed letter,
I and, with a little moan, cast the pa
per nwr.y, as she cast him from her
heart, and rose to face the hurrying
men.
Late that right when Jake re
turned. weary and desperate, from
the fruitless search, Mirey, from the
old man's side, stepped forward in
the moonlight to meet hitn.
“Jake," she said, softly, "don't
| worry. He'll never tell. I know.”
Jake looked down, sternly, into tiie
dark eyes.
"Mirey you let him go."
She laid both brown hands on his
arm and looked up, pleadingly, into
the grave, rugged face.
“Yes—it was better. I’ve been n .
fool, Jake. Hut it's all past now. An'
—-Jake—ye needn't wait till fall - ef
I ye'll hare me yit."
Jake stooped, kissed the quivering
lips, put his strong arm about her,
and led he? to the smiling old man.

your left ear, which indicated that you were

that a perfectly healthy baby never cries. When the little one does cry
there's something wrong, and generally it’s the stomach. Paregoric,
Soothing Syrups, Cordials, Teething Syrups and Pain Killers contain
opium and morphine. Don’t use them. They are harmful—costly,
too. Such drugs constipate and derange the digestive organs.

is pleasant to take, augments and supplies the natural digestive ferment,
acting as a gentle laxative by the power to assimilate food, makes and
keeps babies in health and good humor. A trial will convince you.

raonths-old baby was troubledmgrrat deal with his stomach and
