"Why?" l said in surprise, thinking
of his grazing range, which was ample

as well.
All next day, which was Saturday,
and, indeed, during the following
week, stood guard over my notice, en-
loving the excitement it produced and
the comments It called forth. 1t was
the advance wave Of the great ocean
of civilization which many OF them
had been glad to leave beh1nd-some
could have wished forever.
To Robert Muir, one OF the farmers
newly arrived, the notice was a har-
binger Of good. It stood for progress,
markets and higher price for land,
albeit he wondered "hoo he wad be
keepit up" But his hard wrought,
quick spoken little wife at his elbow
'hooted" his scruples and, thinking OF
her growing lads. welcomed with I'M
mixed satisfaction the coming Of the
meenister." Her satisfaction was
shared by all the mothers and most OF
the fathers in the settlement, but by
the others, and especially by that roll
licking, FOSTERING crew, the Company
of the Noble Seven, the missionary
coming was viewed with varying de-
grees Of luminosity. 1t meant aimifa-
tion Of freedom In their wildly reck-
less living. The permit nights would
now, to say the least. be subject 70
criticism; the Sunday wolf hunts ana
horse races. with their attendant de-
lights, would now be pursued under the
eve of the church. and this would not
add to the enjoyment Of them. One
great charm Of the country. which
Bruce, himself the son Of an Edinburgh
minister and now secretary OF the NO
BILE Seven, described as letting a fell
low do as he BANKED pleased would
be gone. None resented more bitterly
than he the nAssionary's intrusion,
which he declared to be an attempt
..to reimpose upon their freedom the
trammels of an Anticipated and blgoteo
conventionality." But the rest OF the
Company, while not taking so decided
n stand, were agreed that the estab
tshment of church institution was
an Objectionable and impertinent as
well as unnecessary proceeding.
OF course Hi Kendall and his frienc
Bronco Bill had no opinion one way
or the other. The church could hardly
affect them even remotely. A dozer
years stay in Montana had PROVED
with sufficient clearness to them tina
a church was luxury Of civilization
the west might well do without.
Outside the Company Of the Nobi
Seven there was only one whose opin
ion had value in Swan Creek. and tina
was the Old Timer. The Company hat
sought to bring him In by making hin
m honorary member, but he refused
to be drawn from his home far VI
among the hills. where he lived witt
his little girl Gwen and her old hal
breed nurse, Ponka. The approach o
the church he seemed to resent as
personal injury. 1t represented to hin
, that civilization from which he ha'
fed fifteen years ago with his VIII
and baby girl, and when. five year
later, he laid his wife In the lonet
grave that could be seen on the shade.

The startling announcement that

found that will prevent that condition
which makes suicide likely. At the first

The one redeeming feature of the
