A V' HAZEL FINDS SHE CANNOT HOPE TO ESCAPE FROM “ROARING BILL’S” CABIN IN THE WILDERNESS BEFORE SPRING r. Synopsis.—Miss^Iazen Weir i.s employed as a stenographer in the office of Harrington & Bush at Granville, Ontario. She-is engaged to Jack Barrow, a young real estate agent. Mr. Bush. Hazel’s employer, suddenly notices her attractiveness and at once make*her his private stenographer. After, three months Bush proposes marriage. Hazel refuses, and after a stormy scene, in Y'bich Bush warns her he will make her sorry for her action, Hazel leaves the ofliee, never to return. Shortly after this Bush Is thrown from his horse and killed. -Publica tion of his Will dlselbsH that he left Hazel $5,600 'in- “reparation for any wrong I may have done her.” Jack Barrow, in a jealous rage, demands an explanation, and Hazel, hef'Jmde hurt, refuses. Hazel's engagement Is broken and, to‘escape, from her surroundings, she*-se cures'a position as schoolteacher at Cariboo Meadows, In a wild part of British Columbia. There, at a hoarding house, she first sees “Roaripg Bill” Wagstaff, a well-known character of.that country. Soon after her arrival Hazel loses her w-a-y while walking l»-tho woods. She wanders until night when she reaches “ltoarlng Bills”.camp fire in the woods. He promises to take her home in the morning, hut she is compelled to' spend the night in the woods.. After wandering in the woods all the next day, “Boaring BUI" finally admits that he is taking Hazel to his cabin in the mountains.

And you’ll have to lay the blame on nature for making you a wonderfully attractive woman. I did honestly try. to find the way - to Cariboo Meadows, that first night. It was only when I found my- nking how fine it* would be to pike through these, old woods nnd mountains with a partner like you that I decided—as I did. , I’m JJuman—the woman, she tempted me. And aren’t you better off? Do you know that you lo *k fifty per cent better for these few dnvs- of living in the open—the way e\ fry normal being likes to live? You’re gettjng some color in your cheeks, and you’re losing that worried, archangel look. Honest, If I were a physician, I'd have only one prescrip tion: Get out Into the Wild country, and live off the country as your primi tive forefathers did. Of course, you can’t do that alone. I know because I've tried It. We humans'don't differ so. greatly from the other animals. We’re made to hunt In couples or packs. There’s a purpose, a law, you might say, behind that, too; only It’s terribly obscured by a lot of other non- essentials in this day and age.” But she would not take-up the cud gels against him, would not seem to countenance or eondone his offense by discussing It from any angle whatso ever. •* And she was more determined to allow no degree of friendliness,.even in conversation, because she recog nized the masterful quality Of the man. After n lapse of time they dropped into another valley, und faced west ward to a mountain range which Bill told her was the Rockies. The next day a snowstorm struck them. It was not particularly cold. Bill wrapped her iu u. heavy canvas coat, and plod ded on. Noon passed, and he made no .stop. If anything, he increased his Ptiqe. - ' >7; Suddenly, in the late afternoon, they There was furniture of a sort Un known to her, tables and chairs fash ioned by hand with infinite labor and rude skill, massive in structure, uphol stered with the skins of wild beasts common to the region. Upon the walls hung pictures, dainty black-and-white prints, and a water color-or two. And between the pictures were nailed heads of mountain sheep nnd goat, the ant lers of deer and caribou. Above the fireplace spread the huge shovel horns of a moose, bearing across the prongs a shotgun and fishing rods. The center of the floor—Itself, as she could see, of hand-smoothed log? of the country. That’s how you come to have a .wardrobe all ready to your diand. Now, you’d be awful foolish to act like a mean and stiff-necked female person. You’re not going to, are yod?" he wheedled. 1 “Because I want to make you comfortable. What’fc the use of getting on your dignity over a little thing like clothes?” “I don’t Intend to,” Hazel suddenly changed front. ‘TIL make myself as comforth-ble as I can—particularly if it will put you to any trouble.” “Yojj’re bound to scrap, eh?” he grinned. “But It.takes two to build a fight, and I positively refuse to fight ■■with you.” - He dragged the trunk back into the room, and came out carrying a great's armful of masculine belongings. Two such trips he made, piling all his things onto a chair. “There!” he said at last. “That end of the house belongs to you. little per son. Now, get thoae-wef-tMTigs off be fore you catch a cold. Oh, wait a min ute r . He disappeared Into the kitchen end of the house, and ’came hack with a w'nsh-basin and a pail of water. “Your room Is now ready, madam, an’ It please you.” He bowed with mock dignity, and went back Info the kitchen., - * Hazel heard him rattling pots and dishes; whistling cheerfully the while. She closed the door, and bqsled herself with an inventory of the tenderfoot lady’s trunk. In It she found every thing needful for complete chunge, nnd a variety of garments to boot. Fojded in the bottom of the trunk was a gray cloth skirt and a short blue silk kimono. There was a coat and skirt, too, of brown corduroy. But the femi nine instinct asserted Itself, and she laid out the gray skirt and the kimono. -* For a dresser Roaring Bill had fash ioned a wide shelf, nnd on it she found a toilet set complete—hand mirrbr, | . \ 1 ' ! to me.” Bill grew suddenly uwody. : “Not with you in Cariboo Meadows,** I’m taboo there.

Hazel shrugged her shoulders. Roaring Bill Wagstaff became, if anything, more of. un enigma than ever, In the light of hls v dwelling. She recollected that Cariboo Meadows had regarded him askance, ; and wopdered why:* He come In while her gaze was still roving from one object to another, and threw his yvet outer clothing,, boy fashion, on the nearest’ chair. “Well,” he said, “we’re here.” “Please- don’t forget,^Mr. Wagstaff,” she replied coldly, “that I would much prefer not to.be here.”— He stood a moment regarding her with his odd smile. Then he want Into the adjoining room. Out of this he presently emerged, dragging a small 'steamer trunk.

Bill remained busy in the kitchen. Dusk fell. The gleam of a light showed through a crack in the door. In the big room only the lire gave battle to more comfy.” -A I l He pUtTnore wood on the kitchen fire, -and set a pot of water to heat. Out in the living room Hazel drew her 1 chair to one side of the hearth.

"You’ll find that.

In fivp minutes a great blaze leaped and crackled into the wide throat of, the,chimney.

Ac- - corillng to her standards, that was reach, and laid thj glass on the table. “You’ll feel a whole lot better able to ' cope with the situation,” he told her stormlly* smilingly, “when you get some decent. clothes on and your hair fixed. That's a woman. And you don’t need to feel squeamish about these things. This trunk’s got a history, lef trie tell you. A bunch of simon-pure tenderfeet I strayed Into the -Mountains west-of: here a couple of summer!* ago.- There j were twor xyMnen Ip tbe bynch.

She was not used to such plain speak^ Ing. “And supper’s ready. Come on 1” The table was set. Moreover, to her surprise—and yet not so greatly to her surprise, fof she was beginning to ex pect almost anything from this para doxical young man—it-was spread with linen, and .the cutlery was silver, the dishes china, In' contradistinction To the tinware of his camp outfit. As a cook Roaring Bill Wagstaff had no cause to be ashamed of himself, and Hazel enjoyed the meal, particularly since she had eaten nothing since six 4n the mo.rnfrrg. After a time, when her appetite was partially satisfied, she took to glancing oVer hjs kitchen. There* seemed to be some adjunct of a kitchen missing. A fire burned on a hearth similar to the one In -the living room. 'Pots stood about the edge of the fires,* But there was no sign of a stove.
