It, seemed that what women resided in Htizelton must invariably dress In Mother Hubbard gowns of cheup cotton print with other gar- - ments to match. But eventually they found for her undergarments of a sort, a waist and skirt, and^a comfort able pair'of shoes;--Hats, as a milliner would understand the term, there were none. And in default of such she stuck to the gray felt sombrero she had worn into the Klappan and out again—which, in truth, became her very well, when tinted at ^he proper angle above her heavy black hair. Then she went back to the hotel, and sought a bathroom. Returning from this she found Bill, a Bill all shaved and shorn, unloading/ himself of sundry packages' of new . attire. “Aha, everything Is lovely,” he greet ed. “Old Hack Jumped at the pelts, and paid a fat price for the lot.’ Also the ranch deal has gv.ne through.

Then,' with the smoke and grime of a hard trail obliterated, and with decent clothes upon them, they sought the dining room. There, while they waited to be served, Hazel read Loraine Marsh’s letter,-and passed it to Bill with a self-conscious little laugh. “There’s an invitation there we might accept,” she said casually. He returned the letter as the wait* ress brouglrtNdielr food. “Wouldn't IfK^ nice to take a trip home?” Hazel suggested thoughtfully. “I’d love to.” “We ure going home,” Bill reminded gently. ■n t -“Oh. of course,” she smiled. “But I mean to Granville. I’d like to go back there with you for a while. Just to—just, to—” “To shyw ’em,” be "supplied lacon ically. ' t “Oil, Bill!’’ she pouted. Nvvcrfkele.-s, she could not' deny that there was mi measure of truth in his brief remark. ISlie did wunt to “show ’em.” She looked across the table at her husband, and thought to herself with proud satisfaction, that site had done well. Viewed from apy angle whatsit ever, Bill Wagstaff stood head and shoulders above all the men she 'find ever knowii. Big, physically and men tally, cleuu;mlnded and capable dOb/tably she had captured a lion and, though she might have denied stoutly the imputation, she vaunted Granville to see. her lion and hour him roar. \ • “Still thinking Granville?” Bill queried, when they hud finished' an uncommonly silent meal. Hazel flushed slightly. She was, and momentarily , she felt >thut she should have been thinking-mf their lit tle; nest up by Blue ItiyCrl’ass* instead. She knew that BilJ^us homing to the cabin. .-She herself regarded it with affection, but of a different'degree from bis. Her mind was more occupied With another, more palpitating circle of life than was possible at the cabin, much as she appreciated its green and peaceful beauty. The sack of gold lying in the bank had somehow opened up far-fluug possibilities. She skipped hear the vibrant bum of the Indus trial hive. " She had no regrets when Bill con fined their stay to the time necessary to turn his gold into a bank account, and allow her to buy a trunkful, more or less, of pretty clothes. Then they bore on eastward an($/ halted at Ash croft. Bill had refused to commit himself positively, to a date for the eastern pilgrhnuge. He wunted to see the cabin again. For that matter she did, too—sb that“Hheir sdtfoUrn there ditPnot carry them over another.win ter. _ , .... . From Ashcroft, an auto stage whirled them swiftly Into the heart of the Cariboo country—to Quesnelle, where Bill purchased four head of horses In an afternoon, packed, saddled, and hit the trail at daylight in the morning. The vanguard ,of the land hungry had already penetrated to Fort George. Up and down the Nachaco valley, and bordering upon the Fraser, were the cabins of the pre-emptors. The roads were dotted with tlie teams of the incoming. A sizable town had sprung up around the old trading post. “They come, like bees when the rush starts,” Bill remarked. Leaving Fort George behind, they, bore across country Jowanl Bine river*. Here and there certain landmarks.’ graven deep In Hazel’s recollection, j^ttprosc to claim her* attention. And one evening at sunset they rode up to the little cabin, all forlorn in its clear ing. Inside, a gray film of ^ddsT'ftatl ac cumulated on everything, and the rooms-wuro oppressive with the musty odors that gather in a closed, unten- n ii ted house. -But apart from that it stood ns they had left It. thirtsen months .before. No foot had crossed tlie threshold. The pile of wood and kindling lay hcvside the fireplace as Bill had placed It the morning they left.. ' “‘Be it ever so humble.”’ Bill left the line of the old song unfinished, hut his tone was full of jubilation. Be- Four Days Later They Stood on the Deck of a Grimy Little Steamer. tween thorn they .threw'wide every 111 (loot - and window. TIfe cool evening wind tilled the place with sweet, pine- scented air. Then Bill started a blaze roaring In the black-mouthed fireplace —to make h look natural, he said— and went out to hobble his .horses for the night. In the morning they began to un pack their household goods. Bugs and bearskins found each its accustomed place upon the floor. His books went back on the shelves. With magical swiftness the cabin resumed Its old- home atmosphere. And that night Bill stretched himself on the grizzly hide before the fireplace, and kept his nose in a book until Hazel, who was in no humor to read, fretted herself into something approaching a temper. “You’re about as sociable as a cram,” she'brpke Into his absorption at last. He looked up in surprise, then I chucked the volume carelessly aside, the Interval of affairs which she knew nn «i twisted himself around till his must be attended to, and betook her self 1 and Bill to Granville, thence to the bigger, older cities, where money shouted in the voice of command, where all tilings were possible to those who hud the price. But she was., beginning to know - this husband of hers too well to pro pose anything of the sort abruptly. Behind his: tenderness and patience, she had sometimes glimpsed some thing inflexible, unyielding as the wil derness he loved. So she merely an swered: , . “In a way, yes.” “Let’s go outside where I can smoke a decent Cigar on top of this fairly decenj meal,” he suggested. “Then we’ll figure on the next move. -1 think iahout twenty-four hours in Hazelton will do me. There’s a steamer goes down-river tomorrow.” — . * e • • our days later they stood on the of a grimy little steainer breast- ami Vancouver spread Its peninsular clutter - before them. Tugs , and launches puffed by, about their harbd? traffic.. A ferry clustered black with people hurried across the inlet. But head rested in her lap. “Vot iss?” he asked cheerfully. “Lonesome? Bored with yourself? Ain!t I here? (^Surely you don't feel yourself neglected because I happen to have my nose stuck in a book?” “Of course not!” she denied vigor ously. The childish absurdity of her attitude struck her with sudden force. “Still, I’d like you to talk to me once in a while.” Bill’s eyes narrowed a trifle, but he still smiled. And suddenly he stepped around behind her chair, put both hands under her chin, and tilted her head backward. “Ah, you’re plumb sick and tired to death of everything, aren’t* you?” he said soberly. “You’ve been up here too long.. You sure need a change. I’ll have to tuke you out and give you the freedom of the cities, let you dis sipate and pink-tea, and rub elbows with the mob for a while. Then you’ll glad to drift back to this woodsy sue had gotten there. Trust him to Know. And It made her very tender toward him that he was so quick to understand. Host men would have resented. 1 - “I wunt to stack a Tew tons Qf lTfiy.’ he went oh disregarding" hgr exclama tion. *TJ1 neetFit in the ^prlnpr if/hot this wltjtef. Soon as that’s done we’ll hit the high spots. We’ll- take , three or four thousand dollars, and while It lasts we’ll be a /couple fit—of high- class tramps. Huh? Does it sound good ?” , She nodded vigorously. . \ “Berk up. then,” he wheedled. “Bill-hoy,she qiurmured, “yon mustn’t- take me too seriously.” “I took you for bettey or for worse,” he answered, with a kiss. “I don’t iVnnt it to turn out worse. I want ypu to be contented and happy here, wheije I’ve planned to make our home, know you iove me quite a lot, litt person. Nature fitted us In a good many ways to be mates. But.you’ve gone through a pretty drasflc slegpof isolation In this rather grim country: and I guess it doesn’t seem Such an alluring place as It did at first. I “don’t want you to nurV;HMt feeling until it becomes chrmtfcT Then We would be out of tune, and it woulcFbe good-hy happiness. But I,thlnk I know the cure for your malady.” In the morning he began his hay cutting. About eleven o’clock he threw down his scythe and stalked to the house. i “But on your hat, and let’s go Inves tigate a mystery,” /said he. “I heard a cow bawl In the woods a minute ago. A regular barnyard bellow.” “A cow bawling?” she echoed. “Sure? What would cattle be doing away up here?” - \ “That’s what I want to know?” BUI laughed. “I’ve never seen a cow north of Fraser—not this side of Hie Rockies, anyway.” » They saddled their horses, nnd rode out in the direction 'from whence had arisen the bovine complaint. The sound was not repeated, and Hazel had begun to chaff Bill about a too- vivid imagination when within ft half mile of the clearing he pulled his horse .ujb-jsliort la the middle of a little meadow. “Look 1” ; The track of a jjroad-tired wagon had freshly crushed the thick grass. Bill squinted at the trail, then his gaze swept the timber beyond. "Somebody lias been cutting timber over there,” he enlightened. “I can see the fresh ax work- Looks like they*d been hauling poles. Let’s fol low this truck a ways.” The tiny meadow was fringed on the north by a grove of poplars. Be yond that lay another clear space of level lund, perhaps forty acres in ex tent. 'i’hey broke through the belt of poplars—and pulled up again. On one side of the meadow stood a cabin, the fresh-peeled log wulls glaring yellow in the sun, and lifting an earth-covered roof to the autumn sky. Bill whistled softly. . \ Along the west side of the meadow ran a brown streak of sod, and down one side of this a man guided the han dles of n plow drawu by the strangest yokemates Hazel’s eyes had seen for muny a ^ay. “For goodness’ sake!” she * ex claimed.-/ “That’s the true pioneer spirit for you,” Bill spoke absently. “He has bucked his way Into the heart of a virgin country, and he's breaking sqjd with a inulg and a cow. That's adap tation to environment with a venge ance—and grit." “There's- i. wfinian, too. Bill. And see—she's carrying a baby?” Hazel j 1 pointed excitedly. - “Oh. Bill 1" The man halted his strangely assort ed team to watch them come," ’ The woman stood a, step outside the door, a baby in her arms, another toddler holding fast to her skjlrt. A thick- bodied, short, square-shouldered man was this newcomer, with a round, pleasant face. “Hello, neighbor!” Bill greeted. The plowman lifted his old felt hat courteously. His face lit up. “Ach!” said he. “Neighbor. Dot iss a goot word in diss country vere dere Iss no neighbor. But I am glat to meet you. Vill you come do der house und rest a v’ile?” — “Sure!" Bill responded. “But we’re neighbors, all right. Did you notice a cabin about half a mile west of here? That’s our place—when we’re at home.” * “So?” The word escaped with the peculiar rising inflection of the Teu ton. “I half saw dot cabin ven ve come here. But I dink It vass aban don. "Veil, let us, to der house go. Id vill Vrest der mtffg^—und Gretchen, der cow.

Two thou sand miles In a wagon! And at the journey’s end only a rude cabin of logs—and years of steady toll. Isola tion in a huge and lonely land. Yet these folk were happy. She wondered briefly If her own viewpoint were pos sibly askew. She knew that she could not face such a prospect except In ut ter rebellion. Not now, The bleak peaks of the Klappan rose up before her mind’s eye, the picture of five horses dead In the snow, the wolves thnt snapped and snarled over their bones. She shuddered. She was still pondering this when she and Bill dis mounted at home. *~ 4 CHATTER XIV. peacefully Im her arras, staring wide-eyed, making soft, gurgiy sounds. “The little dear I" Hazel mur ing tii^ outgoing -tide that surgtfjjLpiiding p^ce tff uurs.

Tact fully none so much as mentioned An drew Bush, nor the flve-thousand-dollar legacy—the disposition of which sum stifl perplexed that defunct gentle man’s executors. And once - more in a genial atmosphere Hazel concluded to let sleeping dogs lie. She learned from various sources that Bill’s for tune loomed big, had grown by some mysterious process of Granville tattle, until it had reachel the charmed sjx figures of convention. .There had been changes. Jack Bar- row hud consoled himself with a bride. Moreover, he was making good, In the popular phrase, at the real-estate game. The Marshes, as she had pre viously known them, had been totter ing’on the edge of shabby gentility. But they had come Into money. And as Bill slnnglly put It, they were using their pile to cut a lot of social ice. Kitty Brooks’ husband was now the head of the biggest advertising ngency In Granville. Hazel was glad of that, mild success. She was Inordinately proud of Bill, when she compared him with the aver age Gra-nvllle male—yet she found her- sfelf wishing he would adopt a little- more readily the Granville viewpoint. He fell short of It, or went beyond It. she could not he sure which; she had an uneasy, feeling sometimes that hF looked upon Granville doings /and Grnnvllla folk with amuspd roierance. not . unmixed with contempt^ But he attracted attention.
