Synopsis.—Miss Hazel Weir, n stenographer, living at Granville. Ontario, *ls placed under a cloud by circumstances for which she Is entirely blameless. To escape from tin* groundless gossip that pursues her, she secures a position as>. schoolteacher at Cariboo Meadows, # In a Wild part of British Columbia. There,-m,A -booeding hou.se, slip first sees “ftoaring Bill*’ WagstafT, a well-known character of that country. Soon after her arrival Hazel loses her way while walking in the woods. She wanders until night when she reaches “Hearing Hill’s*’ camp fire in the woods. He promises to take her home in the rnorning, hut, she is compelled to spend the night In the woods. After wandering in the woods all the next day, ‘‘Roaring Hill” finally admits that he is taking - Hazel to his cabin In the mountains. Hazel finds upon their arrival at the cabin thnt sin* cannot hope to escape from the wilderness before spring. During the long winter “Roaring lji.ll” treats Hazel with the greatest resp«*ct. lie tells her be loves her and tries to induce her to marry ldm, but she refuses. In the spring he takes her to Bella Cool a, where she cay get a boat to Vancouver. At Vancouver Hazel takes a train for Granville, but on the way she realizes that she loves WagstafT and decided to| return to him. “Roaring Rill” Is overjoyed and 'to-” get her they travel to a Hudson bay post and are married. After several months they decide'to go farther Into the mountains to a spot where Hill Is confident there Is gold? CHAPTER X—Continued. —10— ' i On the second day they crossed the Skeepa. a risky and tedious piece of business, for the river ran deep and - ^strong.* ■■ Presently the way grew rougher. If anything. Roaring Rill Increased his pace. He. himself no longer rode, i When the steepness of. the hills and canyons made the going hard the packs were redivided, and henceforth Satin bore on his hack a portion of the sup plies. Bill led the wny tlrelessiy. Through flies, river crossings, camp labor, and all the petty Irritations of the trail he kept an unruffled spirit, a fine, enduring patience that Hazel mar veled at and admired. Many's time, wakening at some slight stir, "she would find him cooking breakfast. In every way within his power he saved ^her. Many a strange shift were they put to. Once Bill had to fell a great spruce across a twenty-foot crovlVe. It took him two days to hew It flat so that his horses rapid be led over.’ The ■ depth was bottomless to the eye, but from far hslow rose the cavernous growl of rushing water, and Hazel held her breath as each animal stepped gingerly over the narrow bridge. One misstep— Once they climbed three weary days up a precipitous mountain range, and. turned hack in sight of the crest by an Impassable difT, were forced to buck track and swing a fifty-mile de tour. September was upon them. The •duys dwindled in length,-jmd the nights grew to have a frosty nip. Eurly and lute he pushed on. Two camp necessities were fortunately abundant, grass and water.— Even so. the stress of the trail told on the horses. They lost flesh. The extreme steepness <>f succeeding hills bred galls under the heavy packs.' They grew leg weary, no longer following each other with sprightly step and beads high. Hazel pitied them, for sir©,, her self was trail weary beyoftYF v v<ord». The vagabond Instinct had fallen asleep. The fiuv aura of romance no longer hovered over the venture. Sometimes when dusk ended , the dny’s journey and she swung her stif fened limbs out of .the saddle, she would cheerfully hh,ve foregone all the gold in the North to be at her ease before the fireplace in their dljstfinf cabin, with her man’s head nesting in her lap. and no toll of Weary miles looming sternly on the morrow's-hori zon.
