THE ABILENE REPORTER
It was the weather hi the first place
thought Edith very drearily ns uiu-
watched the ruin bent against tho win-
dow. If (die nnd Richard hnd not been
caught In n sudden shower to the ut-
ter ruin of her very prettiest dress she
would novel have been irritable and
quarreled with him about nothing nt
all nttd she would not have expected
him to (nko tho fault upon himself
when she nlono aftor ttlo weather-
'Wns to blame. And now It had rallied
for nearly a week nnd tho Inaction
was driving her wild. She could only
think think nnd vainly try to over-
come her prldo nnd send for him.
For the thousandth time sho drew
from her dross his Inst letter nnd ro-
read It:
Dearest Wo havo been friends and
neighbors nnd sweethearts nil our lives
nnd should not let nny thing come between
us. I love you and If you will Just RonJ

from you. If It does not come I shall
know thnt ou really meant to break our
engngemeht nnd shall of courso not trou-
blo you. But you couldn't hnvo meant It
Edith? Fraternally yours
RICHARD COPELAND.
That was nil. but she hnd sent him
no word thinkiug that In time lie
would come anyhow and then nlie
would let him coax her out of her
nnger. But he hnd not come nnd she
could not fall to respect him for refus-
ing to bo played with.
So glje was very wretched nnd
blamed her own pilde nnd tho weather.
Tho rain beat clown warmly nnd Inter-
mittently and all nature expanded ami
throve under Its moist Influence. Edit'i
looked across the fields to the south t
Richard's home wbicli one day n'
to have bijn nlso hers nnd saw bin
out In tlie rain on his horse coming
from the ton a few miles away. Hnw
often they two had ridden about the
country together! And now it was all
over. lie would never come back t-.
her- miles she sent for him. Co'tild
she do it? It was early In the after-
noon and she might send her little
brother over with n note. She hesi-
tated; then she went to her room and
sat down to her desk. It would be n
relief to write to him even If hhe
could uot bring herself to send it to
him.
Dear Richard 'Will you come to sec me
tonight? I was horrid nnd I am ei.
sorry. If I .iad not bvon wet nnd cross
I should not have thought of caring be-
cause ou rode to town with Fnv Of
course ou could not help her overtaking
you. She always was forward. Forgive
me and come back. Tou know thnt I
love you always. EDITH
She sat looking at It. Then her heart
misgave her. It bad been two lonj:
mouths since they parted and he might
no longer care for her. He might care
for Fay. The neighbors bad said lie
had been to see her. The letter was
altogether too unguarded. She cor.l 1
not tell him she loved him. So she
carelessly thrust It into her dress with
the letter from him.
She tried to busy herself about the
house but somehow she could not
work. She was restless and felt ns if
her mother and sister saw it and would
know that she fretted for Hichnrd. She
tried to read in her own room but it
seemed like a prison.
Along about 3 o'clock she felt ns if
the day had been years long. She
could bear It no longer. She put on
some heavy shoes ami an old water
proof rldlug habit wound her fair halt
closely under a little cap and stood be-
foro the glass thinkiug what a frlxh!
she looked and gather rejoicing in th.
fact. Yhat was the use of being beau
tlful when Hichard uo louger loved
her?
She slipped out to the baru and sad
died Ginger her little marc mounted
nnd rode quickly out of the gate and
northward as she did not want to pass
JRIchard's house. Uer mother saw her
ride off in the storm and wondered if
the girl was going crazy but was tao
late to call after her. At first Ginger
wheeled and refused to believe that
she was expected to splash her daiut.
hoofs through such pools of mud nnd
water but after a few snorts of pro-
test Edith convinced her with the quirt
that this wiud and ralu were really O
be faced and the little beast settled
Into a spiteful trot
Edith rather rejoiced In buffeting the
storm. The rain and wind cooled her
hot cheeks and thepen air relieved
the unbearable tension of her nervous-
ness. For the first time since the trou-
ble with Ulebard she allowed herself
tho uurestnilned luxury of tears. Here
out In the open with the sting of rain
drops In her face she was free from
prying eyes. She did not need to keep
up her pride nnd she could be us.
-wretched as she really felt. She did
not look about her but rode milo after
mile letting the mare lake her own
course.
After ridiug an hour or to bho uu
tlced that the storm abated nnd. look
lug up saw that the clouds were lesn
dark. Here and there was a gleam of
blue though the warm wjud still blew
intermittent drops 'Into her face. She
drew her collar closely about her nerii
and pulled her cap over her eyes and
rode on with her own thoughts.
At last an idea came to her. Why
not phone to Pochard Just call him
up ud talk to him In the old way
about nothing a particular and. If ha
made it easy for her ask him to
come to see her that evening? Strong;
tn this uew resolve she looked to see
where she was and realized that after
lon detour they were about a mile
eelow Ulchard's house which they
i must pnssj Sho could not go back for
It was probably near ovenmg. xno
sun threatened to "break through tho
cloudB near the horizon. Tho rain hnit
entirely conBcd. Bhb felt tired but
happier ntid quiet after tho relief of.
tears.
Then sho rememberdd n way through
Itlchard's flefilfl that they had often
taken. Sho would hnvq to pass a bnil
slough but that could not bo helped.
Ho must not bco her In her present
plight. Shu realized that hor face wtit.
swollen nnd her eyes red with weep-
ing and thnt sho was covered with
mud. Her hair was flying wildly
though the dampness always made It
tho curlier. Sho turned Into tho pas-
ture after dismounting to opena heavy
gate and ns she rodo along sho re-
moved her enp and transferring lier
hairpins to her mouth let the reins fall
on Ginger's neck While sho shook out
her long hair and prepared to coll It
more closely. But Ginger gave a sud-
den Jerk and in caJIIng "Whoa I" tho-
plus fell from her mouth Into tho mil I
and water. Then she laughed long un.l
heartily and gave tho wind Its will
with her hair. No ono would see her
nnywny.
As she nenred tho slough sho felt
very whrm nnd unfastened hor habit
at the throat. Ginger was pluuglivc
and snorting through the mud ami
stopped once with n Jerk thnt almost
throw the girl from her saddle. Tin?
wind caught at her dress and before
sho realized it the two luckless letter.-
were spread out lu tho mud. It mu
no laughing matter for Richard won) I
be sure to find them nnd the mud wan
so deep sho could not possibly dis-
mount. She drove Ginger as close to
them as possible and was loaning
over renchlng for them so attentively
that she did not see Richard till he
rode up almost against her.
Her eyes met his deflnfitly' conscious
of her floating hair and her soiled fate
and above nil the telltale letters. BI.e

could see that hateful "I love yon"

her the letters when she stopped him.
''Richard Copeland. you go right
away. Don't touch them. I wllf get

"You can't. You'd get stuck hi the
mud. Let me."
"If you do I'll hate you."
"You do anyway and. besides I won't
look at whatever It Is you seem (o
value ro." He coolly dismounted but
she sprang down ahead of him "nnd
snatched at them sinking to her knees
in the slush. Ginger started and Rich
ard called Whoa!" but gave the poor
beast a sly cut with his whip that sent
her on a mad gallop for home. lie
held Colonel by the bridle. Edith
faced him.
"Xoiv Edith" he said "hate me or
not. You will have to get on Colonel
and be taken home. Come dear."
"I'll die here first!" no mounted
and. riding close to her suddenly caught
her iu his arms nnd drew her strug-
gling and angry to the saddle In front
of him.
"Edith." he said "I couldn't help
seeing the 'I love. you' on the lettei
you were so anxious about. Wan I;
written for me 5" Suddenly she fell
that she could" bear It no longer. She
turned her face ngalnst his shoulder
and cried while he smoothed back h -r
long hair and held her very close nor
pride was quite gone. She was in tea s
and a fright generally. She felt thnt
It was positively n miracle thnt l-p

Crow's Way of Opening Clams.
The ciows that live along the wi-
shoiv live en sen food. At times tln-v
show a gull's dexterity in picking e.i-
nbles from the tossing water with their
bills. Their Ingouulty. howeer. Is
taxed by the hard shells of clams
which they can neither pry luto imr
break with their bills. Ltko some gulls
the bright crow will seize a clam mid
fly to n great height aud drop It on ;i
ledge of rock. That breaks the shell
and the crow gots the meat. Near-
Vancouver p c. the crow rides
around on the backs of hogs thnt nse
rooting lu the tlow ground of the tide.
The hogs crush the shells of clams amr
mussels In their Jnwa nnd then drop
them on the ground In order to sepa-
rato the meat from tho shell. The
crow Jumps In nud gots tho meat for
Itself. On the other hand the remarks
