Short STORY

LOVE IN THE WHEAT FIELDS.
BY Harold Bindloss

Two men talked together beside the
long, black burrows of Imrie's blowing,
which alone broke the Pray-white
waste of the Manitoban plain. One was
rich in stock and lands, though the
free prairie settlers did not like him,
for Evanson Wyllard of Darlington
still retained the less pleasant char
acteristics of an insular Briton.
The other was poor, though OF good
up-bringing, and, as sometimes hap
pened. loved the rich mans daughter,
which was presumptuous of him, for
WylIard was sowing 1900 acres of
wheat that spring, while lmrie had
sunk his last dollar and pledged his
credit to SOW 800.
willard sat in his Ontario buggy,
silent and grim, a hard man, so the
settlers said, with irongray hair and
piercing eyes, listening with ironical
patience until the other had done.
I'm sorry. It's perfectly impos-
sible, even absurd" he said then.
Constance was carefully trained in
England, and when she marries it must
be in accordance with her station. She
shall not, in any case, come down to
the rough life you could offer her, all

a bit of family history which serves
as the exception to prove the rule.
-Four years ago three small children,
two boys and girl were sent to the
asylum and. after the usual period Of
Itlalning, homes were found for them
IN the west There these children
were heard speaking of n wealthy New
York woman who had recently died.
They said that she was their aunt. A
lawyer was consulted and the officials
Of the asylum were appealed to for
proofs Of the alleged relationship,
These were obtained and with the
Identity of his clients thus established

property and confidently expects that
1t will be sustained by the courts II

the pussessor of 4 comfortable fortune.
