CHAPTER VII

MR.. HIGBEE COMMUNICATES SOME
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
The Higbees we're presently at home
in the Bines car. Mrs. Higbee was a
pleasant, bustling, plump little wom-
an, sparkling-eyed and sprightly.
Prominent in her manner was a help
less little confession of inadequacy to
her ambitions that made her personal
ity engaging. To be energetic and
friendly, and deeply absorbed in peo-
pie who were bold and confident, was
her attitude
She began bubbling at once to Mrs.
Bines and Psyche of the latest fash
ions for mourners. Crepe was more
swagger than ever before, both as
trimming and for entire costumes.
''7ouse gowns, my dear, and dinner
gowns, made entirely of crepe in the
Princesse style, will exactly suit your
daughter-and on the dinner gowns
she can wear a trimming of that dull
jet passementerie.'
From gowns she went naturally to
the difficulty of knowing whom to
meet in city like New York-and
how to meet them-and the watchful-
ness required to keep daughter Mile
from becoming entangled with leading
theatrical gentlemen.
Amid Percivals lamentations that
he must so soon leave Chicago. the
train moved slowly out of the big shed
to search in the interviewer puzzle of
tracks for one that led to the east.
AS they left the center of the CITY
Higbee drew Percival to one of the
broad side windows.
"Pull up your chair and sit here a.
minute he said, with mysterious
little air of Importance. There's a
thing this trains going to pass right
along here that I want you to look at.
Maybe you've seen better ones. of
course-and then again.
1t proved to be a sign some 20 feet
high and whole block long. En-
blazoned upon it's broad surface was
'Higbee's Hams" At one end. and
towering another ten feet or so above
the mammoth letters was white
capped and aproned chef abandoning
his mercurial French temperament to
an utter frenzy of delight over ''Hig-
bees Ham" which had apparently just
been vouchsafed to him by an invisible
benefactor. -.....
There, now" exclaimed Higbee;
what do you call that want to
know-hey?" .......
Great! Magnificent cried Perci-
val, with the automatic and ready
hypocrisy of sympathetic nature.
THAT certainly is great"
Notice the size of it," queried Hig-
bee, when they had fitted by.

"One has to breathe more air here

so after awhile one becomes robust.

Along the edge of the green pines
and spruce were lavender asters. A
little way in the woods they could see
the blue columbines and the mountain
phlox, pink and red.
There are your eyes and your

On the dry barren slopes of gravel

81 suppose it's natural for you to
wish to go. You'd be bored here,
would you not? You couldn't stay in
these mountains and be such a man
as your grandfather. And yet there
ought to be 80 much to do here; it's
all so fresh and roomy and jolly.
Really, I've grown enthusiastic about
it,
"Ah, but think of what there is in
the east-and you are there. To think
that for six months I've treasured
every little memory Of you-such
funny little lot as tuey were-to think
that this morning awoke thinking of
you, yet hardly hoping ever to see you,
and to think that for half the night

hadn't predicted.

your grandfather is so dear and
quaint" said Mrs. Milbrey; you must
certainly bring him to New York with
you, for of course young man of your
capacity and graces will never be sat-
isf1ed out of New York.
Young men like yourself are as
suredly needed there" remarked Mr..
Milbrey, warmly.
''Surely they are," agreed Miss Mil
brey, and yet with a manner that
seemed almost to annoy both parents.
They were sparing no opportunity to
make the young man conscious of his
real oneness with those about him, and
yet subtly to intimate that people of
just the Milbreys' perception were re-
CURED to divine it at present
These westerners fancy you one Of
themselves, dare say" Mrs. Milbrey
had said, and the young man purred
under the stockings. His fever for the
east was back upon him. His weeks
with Uncle Peter going over the fields
where his father had prevailed had
made him convalescent, but these New
Yorkers-the very manner and atmos-
phere of them-undid the work. He
envied them their easier speech, their
matter-Of-fact air of omniscience, the
elaborate and cultivated simplicity of
their dress, their sureness and suffl-
cheney in all that they thought and
said and did. He was homesick again
for the life he had glimpsed. The west
was rude, desolate and depressing.
Even Uncle Peter, whom he had come
warmly to admire, Jared upon him
with his crudity and his western as
sertiveness.

CHAPTER vi.

THE ARGONAUT's RETURN TO THE
RISING SUN.
1t was mid October. The two saddle
horses and a team for carriage use had
been shipped ahead. In the private car
the Bines party was beginning it's own
journey eastward. From the rear plat
form they had watched the tall figure
of Uncle Peter Bines standing in the
bright autumn sun, aloof from the
band of Notwithstanding friends, the
droop of his head and shoulders show
ing the detection he felt at seeing them
go. He had resisted all entreaties to
accompany, them.
His last Injunction to Percival had
been to marry early.
II know your stock and know you,"
he said; "and you got no call to be
rangin' them pastures without brand.
You never was meant fur a maverick
Only don't let the first woman that
comes ridin' herd get her iron on you
No man knows much about the crit
tiers, of course, but I've noticed a few
things in my time. You pick one
that's full-chested, that's got fairish-
sized nose, and that likes cats. The
full chest means she's healthy, the
nose means she amt fnicky, and likin'
cats means she's kind and honest and
unselfish. Ever notice some women
when cats around? They pretend to
like EN- and say Nice kitty!' but you
can see they're viewin' EN- with bitter
hate and suspicion. If they have to
stroke 'em they do it plenty gingerly
and you can see EN- shudderin' inside
like. 1t means they're catty them
selves. But when one grabs a cat up
as if she was goin' to eat il and cud-
dies it in her neck and talks baby-talk
to it, you play her fur bein' sound and
true. Pass up the others, son.
AS the train started he swung him
self off with a sad little BE good to
YOURSELF"
Thank the Lord we're under way
at last!" cried Percival, fervently,
when the group at the station had
been shut from view.
isn't it just heavenly!" exclaimed
his sister. "ThinK of having all of
New York you want-being at home
there-and not having to look forward
to this desolation of place."
Mrs. Bines was neither depressed nor
elated. She was maintaining that
calm level Of submission to fate which
had been her lifelong habit The Jour-
ney and the new life were to be under
taken because they formed for her the
line of least resistance along which all
energy must flow. Had her children
elected to camp for the remainder of
their days in the center of the desert
of Gobi she would have faced that life
with as little sense of personal con-
Germ and with no more misgivings.
Down out of the maze of hills the
train wound; and then by easy grades
after two days Of travel down off the
great plateau to where the plains Of
Nebraska lay away to a far horizon in
brown pillows Of withered grass.

poor Daniel J.-but say, you wouldn't
know the town now if you haven't
seen it since then. Why, I run over
from New York every 80 days or so
and she grows out Of my ken every
time, like five-year-old boy. Say, I've

He waited, glowing confidently, as
one submitting irresistible temptations
Percival beamed upon him with
moist eyes.
by Jove, Mr.. Higbee! that's clever
OF you-it's royal! Sis and 1 would
like nothing better-but you see my
poor mother here is almost down with
nervous prostration and we've got to
hurry her to New York without an
hours delay to consult a specialist.
We're afraid"-he glanced anxiously at
the astounded Mrs. Bines, and lowered
his voice-'we're afraid she may not
be with us long"
why, Percival," began Mrs. Bines,
cazedly, you was just saying"
Now don't fly all to pieces, NAL
take it easy-you're with friends, be
sure of that. You needn't beg US to go
on. You know we wouldn't think of stop
Ping when it may mean life or death
to you. You see just the way she isl
he continued to the sympathetic Hig-
bee-"we're afraid she may collapse
any moment. So we must wait for an
other time; but I'll tell you what you
do; go get Mrs. Higbee and your traps
and come let us put you up to New
York. We've got lots of room-run
along now-and we'll have some of
that ham, the kind you have always
bought for lunch. A. L. Jackson is a
miserable cook. too, if I don't know
the truth
Gently urging Higbee through the
door, he stifled a systematic inquiry
into the details of Mrs Bines' afflic-
ton.
Come along quick! I'll go help you
and We'll have Mrs. Higbee back be-
fore the train STARTS
DO you know Mrs Bines thought

sometimes mistrust Percival amt Just
right in his head; you remember he did
have bad fall on it when he was two
years and five months old-two years,
five months and Is days. The way he
carries on right before folks faces!
That time went through the asylum
at Butte there was a young man kept
going on with the same outlandish rig

don't believe there is such a thing
as a meat auger. I don't know what
on earth a body could do with one.
And that other young man." she con-
cluded, significantly, they had him in
little bit of a room with an IRON
barred door to it like a prison-cell.''

SELF"
The young man provided one of
those silences of which few discern
ing men are instinctively capable and
for which women thank them.
''This road,' she said, after a little
time of rapid walking, 'leads right up
to the end of the world, doesn't it?
See, it ends squarely in the sum-"
They stopped where the turn had
opened to the west long vista of gray
and purple hills far and high. They
stood on ridge Of broken quartz and
gneiss, thrown up in bygone age To
their left a few dwarf Scotch frs
threw shadows back toward the town.
The ball of red fire in the west was
half below the rim of the distant peak.
81 shall look forward to seeing you
and your mother and sister?-i
New York." she said, when they part
ed, "and am sure l shall have more
to say when we're better known to
each other"
IF you were the one woman before,
if the thought of you was more than
the substance of any other to me-you
must know how it will be now. when
the dream has come true. It's no small
thing for your best dream 10 come
true.'
Dear me! haven't we been senti-
mental and philosophic? I'm never
like this at home, 1 assure you. I've
really been thoughtful"
From up the canyon came the sound
of a putting locomotive that presently
