Valdez to build the military line
through the interior of Alaska, Lang
field went with them.
He was undeniably plain, under
sized and over-sensitive and that was
why he felt certain that Dolly couli
never love him. To be sure, he had nl
intention Of loving her, but when six
feet two of we'll developed manhood
in the person of Tom Perry, came down
from Circle City prospecting, Lang
field found that intentions and love
had very little to do with each other:
Vainly he stood erect, but not cre Gu
bit could he add 10 his stature, and
every morning the square of looking
glass impressed afresh the rcGness of
his hair upon him.
Tom and Dolly had known each
other in the Sta:es, and Langfcld
watched with hopeless pain the re-
newal of their friendship She haG
grown shy with him since Perry came
and there could be bit one reason, be
argued. He did net blame her; there
was nothing in him 10 inspire wom-
ans love, and Tom So be packed his
flute and his knapsack and left with
scarcely farewell.
The men were not fond of Lang
field. He had way of shrinking into
himself, that only Shivers, the camp
mascot, lank nlongrel Siwash with
the stump of tail, understood
Mornings, when the Top Sergeant"

it was the warm tongue Of Shivers that
brought Langfcid into touch with the
day, and later, when the company lined
up around the mess tent for their ra-
ticns Of coffee and beans, the man
would seek secluded stump for a ia
Bile, with the dog huddled by his side.
