CHAPTER XVI. Sally 8. Leads the Wacon Train.

Busy nights made Sally Bs risings no later She served as good a break fast to MT. Crocker the next morning IS if the hotel routine had been un- broken.
 The little town was full of confusion. and the center of it was the hotel. The dining room was overflowing. Added to the crowd of the night was gang of men just arrived and clamoring for breakfast before they were hustled on the Front. There was none of the ex- peetant quiet of the supper hour in the green-embowered room And Sally k. was everywhere, generating the sit uation masterfully.
 There was meager time fer dream ing, yet the heart of Stella dreamed on, though her head bent faithfully to it's tasks at the office desk The night in fairyland had passed still it's visions held. Across the gulch teade. hands she knew were preparing the dead for burial. but often as her thoughts strayed there to death. still. ness, mystery. she whipped herself back again to the hustle and hurry around her This she could endure. float serenely over. with Mfred's eyes ever on her own. his Kiss still thrilling her lips Nor would she think Of him as flying from her Plenty cf time 10 vision hlni far away, his mind occunied with alien concerns.

Just look a here," Sally B. said excitedly. as she entered the office and held the paper out 10 Stella. Il go to go to Bill humpin quick-ter- morrer, if I can git away. By goll, it'll beat the ole Harry for ne to git ready"
 Stella took the unsavory paper and looked vainly for Sally B.'s message. The only noticeable thing was string Of crosses on the margin.
 "Oh. forgot. O course. you can't read Bills letter; nobody hGt me can. See them two crosses first there? Close together? Them means he's we'll. See them four with lines over n under? That says hes struck it rich. Blamed rich. Lines under'd mean pretty good; but lines on top, too, means whoppin' Them three crosses standin apart. them's grub. There's dot over each; that's all kinds. There's a line under 'em; that means lots of it. Oh, Bills hit big lead this time, no doubt O that; an he's layin out to work 1t on the jump, an with all the men he kin git" She looked at Stella exultantly, but turned quickly back to the hieroglyphics. Here's one big cross standin' alone; thats me, ah the iine under 1t means come. /"
 What does the picture of pen mean" Stella asked. curiously.
 Sally B. looked a little conscious. "Oh, you know, kin read. all make fair stagger at writin'; so when Bill has any very important business that goes by way of ink l have 10 help him out
 But how can you leave in this busy season." Stella asked

She leaned forward a little. her draperies flowing softly about her feet behind the graceful stageedging of fir tips, her dear. wistful eyes peering into the gloom. He knew she thought him out there somewhere in the dark: hungry, weary, waiting for her He was not hungry, he was not weary: but he needed her-she little knew how he needed her. And no matter how far asunder lay their future, to- night he would have her, love her, ac- cept the service of those dear hands.
 1mpulsively she called again: "Oh, Romeo. Romeo, won't you come?"
 The tender voice with the heart. ache in 1t thrilled him. chided his si- lence, startled him with apprehension also. lest the association of the name lead her to say those other too true words:
 Iris but thy name that Is my enemy"
 It should be her enemy no longer, Here l am Stella-sweetheart." He whispered the last word as he caught her downreaehed hand and sprang up beside her.
 As in baby's face fresh.waked from sleep, the warm color swept up. rose-tipped cheek and lip. veined the white lids and paled off to the softly waving hair, Her eyes opened wide. frank and joy-flooded as a child's. She turned to him. Doubts and questions fed. He was there. He called her Sweetheart"
 In the sheltered. spicy nook behind the screen. prudence business, duty. all slept forgotten. while a nameless youth pledged lifelong love and de votion to a dowerless, homeless, un- worldly woman
 It was Stella remembering his long fast. who cut short the precious mo ments and lured Alfred from his love s empyrean summits to his daily bread. She rearranged the dishes and went to the kitchen 10 make fresh tea, he fol. lowing that no dear breath of her should be lost to him. Back to the table again they went, stepping lightly . whispering. with gay little laughs sup. pressed with difficulty. lest caves. dropping walls might hear and tell Radiantly garhed. glowing, together they ate. the food ambrosia, the SC questered scene g rite. a pledge. pre- figuring a home to be

quite narrow and has a small. square
pocket a little to the right of the
buckle just sufficiently large to con
tain a small metal case that holds
four nickels. These can be abstract

quickly. too. so that the required fare
is always ready without the inconveni.

As the belts are only AZ cents. they
will do doubt become very popular, for
they are neat looking.
