CHAPTER L
He told all this teifJi such freedom.
It was an enormous wheat field in the
Santa Clara valley, stretching to the ho
rizon lino unbroken. Tho meridian sun
shono upon it without glint or shadow,
but at times when a stronger gust of the
trade winds passed over it there was a
quick, slanting depression of tho whole
surface that was, however, as unlike a
billow as itself was unlike a sea. Even
when a lighter zephyr played down its
long level tho agitation was superficial,
and seemed only to momentarily lift a
veil of greenisa mist that hung abovo its
immovable depths. Occasional puffs of
dust alternately rose and fell along an
imaginary lino across tho field, as if a
current of air were passing through it,
but were otherwise inexplicable.
Suddenly a faint shout, apparently
somewhere in the vicinity of tho line,
brought out a perfectly clear respoaso,
followed by tho audible murmur of
voices, which it was impossible to local
ize. Yet tho whole field was so devoid
of any suggestion of human life or
motion that it seemed rather ns if the
vast expanse itself had become sud
denly articulate and intelligible.
“Wot say?”
“Wheel off."
“Whar?"
“ ’N tljo road."
Ono of tho voices here indicated itself
in the direction of the line of dust and
said “Cornin’,” afli a man stepped out
from the wheat into a broad and dusty
all objects with its pervading line. She
also found thpt the close air above
her head was continually freshened by
the Interchange of currents of lower
temperature from below, as if the whole
vast field had a circulation of its own,
and that the adobe beneath her
feet was gratefully cool to her tread.
There was no dust, as ho had said; what
had at first half suffocated her seemed
to be some stimulating aroma of crea
tion that filled tho narrow green aisles,
and now imparted a strange vigor and
excitement to her ns she walked along.
Meantime her guide was not conversa
tionally idle. Now, no doubt she had
never seen anything like this before? It
was tho ordinary wheat, only it was
grown on adobe soil—tho richest in tho
valley. These stalks, she could seo her
self, were ten and twelve feet high. That
was tho trouble, they all ran too much
to stalk, though the grain yield was
“suthen pow’ful." She conld tell that
to her friends, for he reckoned she was
the only young lady that had ever
walked under such a growth. Perhaps
she was new to Californy? Ho thought
so from tho start. Well, this was Cali
forny, and this was uot tho least of the
ways it could “lay over” every other
country on God's yearth. Many folks
thought it was the gold and tho climate;
but she could see for hersalf what it
could do with wheat. Ha wondered if
her brother had over told her of it. No?
Tho stranger wasn't her brother—nor
cousin—nor company—no-, only the
hired driver from a San Jose hotel,
who was tailin’ her over to Maj.
Randolph's. Yes, he know tho old
major; the ranch was a pretty place,
nigh onto three miles further on. Now
that ho knew the driver was no relation
of hers, he didn't mind tailing her that
the buggy was a “rather old consarn”
and the driver didn't know his businoss.
Yes, it might bo fixed up so iu to take
her over to tho major’s. There was ono
of their own men—a young fellow—who
could do anything that could be done
with wood and iron—a rog’lar genius—
and he'd tackle it. It might take an
hour, but she'd find it quite cool waiting
in the shanty. It was a rough place,
for they only camped out there during
tho season to look after the crop, and
lived at thoir own homes the rest of the
time. Was sho going to stay long at
1 the major's? He noticed she had not
i brought her trunk with her. Had she
known the major's wife long? Perhaps
she thought of settling in the neighbor
hood?
All this naive, good humored question
ing—so often cruelly misunderstood ns
mere vulgar curiosity, but as often tho
courteous instinct of simple, unaffected
people to entertain tho stranger by in
viting him to talk of what concerns him
self rather than their ovmselves—wai
nevertheless, I fear, met only by mono
syllables from the young lady or an im
patient question in return. Sho scarcely
i raised her eyes to the broad, jean shirted
back that pr.wedcd her through the
groin until the man abruptly ceased
talking and his manner, without losing
its half paternal courtesy, became grav
er. She was beginning to be conscious
of her incivility and was idly trying to
think of something to say when lie ex
claimed,with u slight nir of relief,''Here
we are,” and the shanty suddenly ap
peared before them.
It certainly was very rough—a mere
avenue. _ ^
With his presence throe things became j gh ‘Jj ~ f ‘ unprinted boards’thrit scarcely
apparent. First, that tho puffs of dust n)s0 t] 10 i eve ] 0 f tha surrounding
had indicated the existence of tho in
visible avenue through the unlimited
and unfenced field of grain; second,
that the stalks of wheat on cither side
of it were so tall as to actually hide a
passing vehicle, and third that a vehicle
had just passed, had lost a wheel and
been dragged partly into the grain by
its frightened horse, which a dusty man
was trying to restrain and pacify.
Tho horse, given np to equino hyster
ics, and evidently convinced that the or- |
dinary buggy behind him had been I
changed into somo dangerous and appall- |
ing creation, still plunged and kicked
violently to rid himself of it. The man
who had stepped out of tho depths of the
wheat quickly crossed tho road, un
hitched the traces, drew back the vehicle,
and glancing at the travelers’ dusty and
disordered clothes said with curt sym
pathy:
“Spilt, too—bat not hurt—eh?”
“No, neither of us. I went over with
tho buggy when the wheel cramped, but
she jumped clear.”
Ho had made a gesture indicating the
presence of another. The man turned
quickly. There was a second figure—a
young girl standing beside the grain
from which be had emerged, embracing
a few stalks of wheat with ono arm and
a hand in which she still held her para
sol, while she grasped Her gathore 1
skirts with the other, and tryi.*,' to find
a secure foothold for her two neat, nar
row slippers on a crumbling cake of
adobe above the fathomluss dust of the
roadway. Her face, although annoyed
and discontented, wa i pretty, aud her
light dress aad slim figure were sug
gestive of a certain superior oou lition.
The man’s manner at one- softened
with western conrtosy. He swung Ids
broad brimmed hat from hii head and
beat his body with thecuveinoniousness
of the country ball room. “I reckon the
lady had better come up to the shanty,
out o’ tno dost and sun, till we kin help
yon got these things fixed.” he arid to
tho driver. 'Til send round by the road
for your boss, and have one of mine fetch
np yonr wagon."
“Is it far?" asked the girl, slightly ac
knowledging liis salutation, without wait
ing for her companion to reply.
“Only a step this way," he answered,
!u*>t:oaing to the field of wheat beside
her.
"What! In there? 1 never could go
in there," she said decidedly.
"It's a hoop shorter than by the road
*vid not so dusty. Hi go with you and
her companion s the probable cause of
grain, and few yards distant was invisi-
| ble. Its slightly sloping roof, already
warped and shrunken into long fissures
that permitted glimpses of the stool blue

as a shelter from tho cloudless sun in
those two months of rainless day.) aad

Through the open doors and windows
she could see a row of “bunks,” or ru-.lo
] sleeping berths, against tho walls,
furnished with coarse mattresses and
blankets. As the young girl halted, tho
hoi din;
hand as sho advanced. This was evi
dently the young fellow who could “do
anything that conld bo done with wood
and iron.”
Sho was very sorry to disturb him, but
could lie tell her how long it would be be
fore the wagon could bo brought up and
mended? He could not say that until
he himself saw what was to be done.
If it was only a matter of a wheel he
could fix it up in a few moments; if, as
ho had been told, it was a case of twbted
or bent axle it would take longer, but it
would bo hero very soon. And then—
would ho let her wait here, as she was
very anxious to know at once—and it
was much cooler than in that other
shod? Certainly; he would go over and
bring her a bench. But hero sho begged
ho wouldn't trouble himself: sho could
sit anywhere comfortably.
Tho lower end of tho work bench was
covered with clean and odorous shav
ings. Sho lightly brushed them aside,
and with a youthful movement swung
herself to a seat upon it, supporting her
self on one hand as she loaned toward
him. She could thus see that his eyes
were of a light yellowish brown, like
clarified honay, with a singular look of
clear concentration in them, which,
however, was the same whether turned
upon his work, tho surrounding grain or
upon her. This, and his sublime uncon
sciousness of tho smudge across his face
and his blackened hands, made her won
der if the man who conld do everything
with wood and iron was above doing
anything with water. She had half a
mind to tell him of it, particularly as
she noticed also that his throat below
tho lino of sunburn disclosed by his open
collar was quite white and his grimy
hands well made. She was wondering
whether he would be affronted if she
said in her politest way, “I beg yonr
pardon, but do you know you have quite
accidentally get something on your
face?” and offer her handkerchief, which
of course ho would decline, when her
eye fell on the steam engine.
“How odd! Do yon use that on the
farm?”
No—be smiled here, the smudge ac
centing it and setting off ins white teeth
in a Christy minstrel fashion that ex
asperated her—no. Although it could
bo used and hud been. But it was his
forward aud examined the broken vehi
cle with workmanlike deliberation.
“I hope you will be able to do 1 some
thing with it,” she said sweetly, appeal
ing directly to him. “I should thank
you so much.” Ho did uot reply. Pres
ently ho looked up to the man who had
brought her to the shanty, aad said:
“The axle's
five or six miles more of this road. Til
put the wheel on easily.” He paused
and, without glancing at her, continued:
“You might send her on by the cart.”
“Pray don’t trouble yourselves," in
terrupted the young girl with a pink
uprising in her cheeks, “I shall be quite
satisfied with the buggy as it stands.”
Send “her" on in the cart! Indeed!
Really they were a rude set—all of them.
Without taking the slightest notice of
her remark the mau replied gravely to
the young mechanic, “Yes, bat we'll be
wanting the cart before it cun get hack
from taking her.”
“Her”again! “1 assure you the buggy
will serve perfectly well—if this—gen
tleman—will only be kind enough to put
on the wheel again," she returned hotly.
The young mechanic at once set to
work. Tho young girl walked apart
silently until the wheel was restored to
its axle. But, to her surprise, a different
horse was led forward to be harnessed.
“We thought your horse wasn't safe
in case of another accident,” said the
first man, with the same smileless con-
svleration. “Tills one wouldn't cut up
if he was harnessed to an earthquake or
a worse driver than you’ve got."
