The governor of the state, an old friend of Eddie’s father, believes him inno cent and pardons him shortly after his arrival at the jail. Back in Scott dale he and PATSY JANE, hia trusting wife, agrees him » too strong so they migrate up north to some land that has been in the family for years. While there they form the acquaintance of ISAIAH SEALMAN, a shifty neighbor who is anxious to buy their land. Eddie learns that the back tuxe« amount to over eight hundred dollars but as he has five months to pay he decides to refuse Sealman’s offer of $1200 and try and get final title to hia property—Sealman’s offer having led him to think it very valua ble. But things d« not go well. Ed die drinks heavily from some boot legger's potkms, is forgiven by Patsy, but soon after falls in with the same gang, gets drunk, and wakes up in a freight car in Chicago—many mile* away. Stricken with remorse he re turn* to his cabin but finds his wife has left and in her place a ruffian^who orders him out.

It was night; and outside the northern lights were putting on a show with half the sky as their stage. Bars and pennons and lances of white radiance and greatest of them in dimension like Lake Huron set on end, blazed from horizon to mid-heaven. The air was crisp with coming frost, and wincy with the tang of the pines and the aromatic wild growth of the barrens. The creek, swellen by autumn rains, splashed and murmured beyond their front door. Eddie sat in the chair and Patsy sat in his lap, her knees well up to her chin. His arms were about her; her head on his shoulder. They were engaged in that most delightful of oc cupations—the building of air-castles which have a solid foundation of practicability and possibility. they don’t need above the new water level.” “Isn’t it wonderful?” sighed Patsy Janei, in utter-content. His arms tightened about her. ‘Not so wonderful as you, Pat,” , he whispered. (THE END.)
