Marvin was In bin later thirties Oollege brod, he had kouo West aft?** making a failure of his life. He hud no tie*. Nobody In the world oared for him. He wanted only to bury* himself In the heart of the forest and to forget. One day, as Marvin rode through the woods, he came upon a slip of a mountain girl bending over a brook,. Her bare feet were aa brown as ber ries, Uor anna nut browp,,her face flashed with confualon ua ahe raised U to his. They f?*| 1 into an easy conversation. Her father was a small aheep rancher living in the valley. 8he had no oth* er relative or friend except-^- Jim. Jim waB her lover, Marvin gathered. He rode on. vaguely disconcerted. The thought of the girl recurred to hitu again and again. He met her once more, twice ? then the day came when he rodo down to the valley to buy his supplies. And he saw the girl at the door of the ranch building. "Joe Cooper's gal." the storekeeper told him. "She's sort of queer. Old Jim Bates is crazy to marry, her, but he's in his fifties and the gal don't care for an old man. Guess her father will make her, though. He's eager to get rid of her ? shiftless lot, them Coopers." Marvin, returning, saw a group of three at the door of the house. The two n^en were arguing angrily with the girl. Marvin thought he saw tears on her cheeks. He pulled in his horse; then slowly rode away. It was no business of his; he could not Interfere. But the days hung drearily on his hands, and he felt a vague longing to see the forest girl again. About a week later his wish was gratified. She was coming along the trail, sebblng, and when she saw him she stopped dead and hid her face In her hands. Marvin was at 'her side In a mlnqt*. "You are in trouble," he said. "What can I do to help you?" Then in sud den realization, "You were coming to me?" She nodded dumbly. "I can't stand for it in the valley," she said. "I won't marry Jim Bates. I won't; I hate him. All ray life I have wanted to live In ttie mountains, away from folks." The stammered, foolish words were almost inarticulate. Marvin "under stood the passion behind them, the soul longing fcyr freedom, groping /or refuge fram the petty tyranny of fife. He placed his arm around her. She looked up at him, and their lips met. "I, too, love the mountains," he said. "Would you come and live with me ? I mean, if we were to be married?" She nodded. They strolled together, along {he trail,' and at last both had found happiness. Before she left It was arranged that she was to meet him and they 'would ride to the near est tovn and find a minister. , That night he dreamed that he was pursuing Laura through a vast, smoky land, a wilderness with no other liv ing being in sight; yet she was run ning from him toward some unknown danger, and he pursued, eager to save her. He gasped and sat up. Through the window of his cabin he saw a lurid light that seemed to fill the sky. The room was filled with smoke. ? He hurried into his clothes and ran to the stable. The horse was whinny ing, fehrful of the flrb that seemed to be creeping nearer. Marvin saddled him and rode at a gallop into the woods. At the edge of the crest he saw that the whole \alley was ablaze. s He tethered his horse securely and ran down the valley. He saw smol dering homesteads, fallen trees, blackened rooftops of deserted houses. Then he was at the Cooper ranch. The house .was still blazing. He ran through the little Irrigated patch and hammered furiously at Che. door. It fell crashing beneath his blows. The interior was empty. Thank God for that! The girl must have joined the fugi tives in the mountains at the other ^?nd of the Valiey. There was no more to be done. Marvin turned slowly away ? and then he was aware of the girl crouching beside the little trickle of watetf; as she had crouched by the brook that day. She was crouching, weeping, and in a moment he had her in his arms; "You are not hurt?" he cried,, "Where is your father? Your ? " "I don't know," she sobbed. "When I awoke the house was beginning to burn. I dressed and hurried out here. I think? I think they have gone with the settlers toward the mountains." "They left you to burn!" exclaimed Marvin, in horror. She laid her hand on Ms arm. "I heard them calling for me," she said. "Put I hid here. Tomorrow I was to have married Jim.** "/ t.. "And now?" aaked Marvin, bending over her, "Now, I Just can't. I can't Leave me to die." . He caught her In Ma armH and' car ried her up the valley, over the smol dering ruins of the little settlement. When they reached unbumed ground he set her down and walked befclde her, holding her to him. Her hair, un loosed fell over him. They were to gether and content, immeasurably con tent, and nothing else mattered. (Copyright IMfc bjr W. O. Chapman.)
