CHAPTER VIII

u L last there came Il day when
N the doctor permitted his pa
tient to be clothed and seat
4 u ed in an easy chair, and.
calling Mrs. Barnett to him, Raymond
asked, DO you think Miss Rupert will
see me now?"
Il will ask her. replied Jeanette,
with due appreciation of the romantic
situation.
Ann rose to comply. with a little
thrill of unpleasant excitement. She
did not want to see him, and yet she
could not decently refuse.
At the door of the sitting room Mrs.
Barnett stopped, and the girl walked
in alone, her face set i'll lines of cold
disdain.
Raymond sat in Il big, padded chair,
with his back to the window and the
sunlight streaming over his head. He
wore handsome gray dressing gown,
and the linen at his neck and wrists
was spotlessly clean. His hands were
refined-almost delicate in effect-and
his clean shaven face and his well
brushed, abundant brown hair gave
evidence of Il most careful toilet.
Something mystically solemn and
sweet was in his eyes, and his lips
trembled as he greeted her. This is
very good of you. Pardon me, won't
you? | am forbidden to stand"
II beg you, do not think of il"
''Dare L ask you to be seated! L
want to thank you more suitably than
l have been able to do for what you
did for me-"
please don't, Mr.. Raymond. 1 as
sure you / deserve no credit. L went
out there under compulsion, and what
1 did was determined by pressure of
circumstances. I'm not a bit of hero
inc, and do not like praise"
He was chilled by her tone and for
moment hesitated. "a sick man may
be forgiven some things" he began to
say at last. II may as well confess
that have been longing to see you. 1
have been trying for many days to rise
and dress in order that l might have
you come in. You must let me ask
your forgiveness for the rude way in
which received you that day. All that
1 did seems incredible to me now, like
the action Of another man.
A gieam of amusement crossed AIMS
face. Il didn't blame you. I'm willing
to admit-that your-position was try

mOndS DAYS on tne raDcn,
while the cattle were wither-
Il u ing away on the plains and
the long trail from the south was fill
ing with grass, n most notable settle
ment had been forming like some new
kind OF parasitic growth on the west
ward shoulder of old Mogalyon, the
mighty peak to the west.
In the midst of the mountains, in
the lap of two smooth, grassy domes,
old Philip lie Beau established cow
camp in the early seventies and called
it Belle Marie, after his wife. This,
however, proved to be too fanciful for
his cowboy neighbors. who promptly
called it lie Beau's Hole" and in the
end it was known among cattlemen as
BoZle Greek.
Just west of lie Beau's camp, and
sentinel to the valley of the Loup, stood
symmetrical peak which some mis-
sionary to the red people had called
Mount Horeb. About the year 1870
some persons not missionaries planted
gold in the soil in convenient places at
the base of this hill and raised Il
mighty shout over the discovery of a
new FL Dorado. A rush took place, and
to the outside world the region became
known as the Mount Horeb mining
district and was alluded to with deep
seated resentment, with curses.
But there were miners whom neither
the dogmatic opinions of geologists nor
the tricks of schemers could turn aside
from a faith that somewhere on the
mighty slopes of Mogalyon lay veins of
gold. and these continued to chip and to
dig and to hammer. .

I He never came again, Louis tell!
| me-"
! NO. His wife was not the kind O
girl to go west. 1 don't want to say
anything severe about Alicia, but SHE
made Phil very unhappy. When Am
was born Phil wanted to call her Hes
per. in memory of his trip to the west
but Alicia cried out against it. 1t was
an odd name, but it was pretty. and
| there was no reason why the father
| shouldn't have had his wish, but that
was her way. She was cold and selfish
even in her honeymoon. / never saw
| such n girl Phil went with her to
every fashionable resort in Europe, but
she not merely refused to make Il trip
into his Hesperian mountains, but she
wouldn't let him go. He used to get up
into the Adirondacks now and then, |
remember, but only for a day or two.
Oh, how eXacting she was, After Louis
was born she grew worse She became
morbid. / never could see that she had
particle of maternal affection. Ii
Ann isn't like her it is because phirs
blood is in her veins. Louis is exactly
as Phil was, as L recall him when l
saw him first"
You say the father called her Hes
per?" pursued Raymond, acuteIy inter
ested in all that concerned Ann.
1T was his pet name for her. Few
people knew it. l don't think Louis
knows it, for Ann considered the name
absurd as she grew older and never re-
fers to it. 1 think it is Il pretty name.
don't your
''Yes. 1t is beautiful" His eyes took
on musing look.
Hesper, Somehow the name express
ed the poetry of the fathers concep-
ton. and with little else to do the
wounded man gave long hours to re-
calling and relieving his experiences
with her as his nurse.
He longed with great longing to see
her again, but to his curious shyness
had been added the humility of one
Who feels himself unworthy to ask any
favor, and the troubled look which
came now and again into the lines Of
his face made Louis sad. The boy ideal
lied him, made of him Il wonderful be-
ing, better worth serving than any
monarch, and in this strain he talked to
Ann till she impatiently begged him to
stop.
But in her secret heart Ann admit
ted that she, too. had been touched
by the indefinable charm of Ray
mond's voice and manner but the
question of how best to check his
growing power over her brothers life
had become Il very serious problem,
for as the days wore on he put her
aside as completely as she ignored his
hero.
Together Raymond and the boy read
the little red book, mapping the points
described as best they could-a task of
some difficulty. for the traveller had
purposely given mythical names to the
towns. rivers and peaks. 1t had ali
been u wonderland to Philip Rupert,
and lie took care to have no stupid or
vulgar name mar the perfect effect.
There was something in all this
which refined and softened the young
rancher Joined with his love for
"Hesper" (as he loved to call Ann in
secret. this boyish fathers enthusi-
asms transmitted every reckless. bit
ter impulse into stern resolutions to
enter upon Il new life-a life with pur
pose and devotion in its course.
