Sally 3. Leads the Wagon Train.

Busy nights made Sally BIS risings
no later. She served as good a break
fast to Mr.. Croker the next morning
as IL the hotel routine had been I'M
broken.
The little town was full of confusion,
and the center of IL 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 it's 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

back again to the hustle and hurry
around her. This she could endure,
float serenely over. with Alfred's 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 1t be months before she should
see him?
Before noon a man came In from

She leaned forward little, her
draperies flowing softly about her
feet behind the graceful stage-edging
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.
Impulsively she called again: "Oh,
Romeo, Romeo, won't you Gomez"
The tender voice with the heart
ache in it thrilled him, chided his ST.
lence; startled him with apprehension
also, lest the association of the name
lead her to say those other too true
words:
"Tis but thy name that is my
enemy"
1t should be her enemy no longer.
Here | am Stella-sweetheart." He
whispered the last word as he caught
her down-reached hand and sprang up
beside her.
AS in a 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 ioy-hooded as 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 loves
empyrean SUBMITS to his daily bread.
She rearranged the dishes and went to
the kitchen to 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
that they might wake no ear above;
whispering, with gay little laughs sup
pressed with difficulty, lest caves
dropping walls might hear and tell.
Radiantly CARRIED, glowing, together
they ate, the food ambrosia, the Sc
questered scene a rite, a pledge, pre-
figuring a home to be.
