CHAPTER XVI,

0diiy D. LcdoS the wagon Train.
Busy nights made Sally BIS risings
no later. She served as good break
fast to Mr.. Croker the next morning
as 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 overlooking. Added
to the crowd of the night was a gang
of men just arrived and clamoring for
breakfast before they were hustled on
the Front. There was none of the ex-
pectant quiet of the supper hour in
the green-embowered room. And Sally
b. was everywhere, generating the sit
uation masterfully.
There was meager time for dream
ing, yet the heart of Stella dreamed
on, though her head bent faithfully
to its tasks at the Office desk. The
night in fairyland had passed, still its
visions held. Across the gulch tender
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 Alfreds eyes
ever on her own, his kiss still thrilling
her lips. Nor would she think of him
as flying from her. Plenty of time to
vision him far away. his mind occupied
with alien concerns. Plenty of time
to count of the days, the weeks
would it be months before she should
see him? >
Before noon a man came in from
the east with two wagons and a six
horse team. bringing a message for
