The Taking
Of Lorena

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1909-06-18

Although 1t was the third week In
April. there were sudden and chill
whiffs of wind from the north, accom-
panied by flying particles Of ice and
snow, grim warning that winter had
not yet renowned its sway in the
n~orthland.
Floyd Jordan, striding down the
steep mountain trail, halted %irresolute-
ly zeal the abrupt turning at Farrell's
bluff. He appeared to be meditating
deeply. Suddenly he threw up his
head, squared his shoulders and hur-
ried on. not In the direction of the
boarding house In the gulch, but to-
ward Farrelps cabin.
Farrell's cabin was two log houses
Joined together and chinked with mud.
There were other cabins of the same
simple architecture scattered over the
mountain side and nestled in the gulch-
es, but white curtains hung at the Far
rell windows, and the windward side
Of the living was hung with gay
Navajo blankets; the brown fur of a
mountain bear was on the floor, and
it's mate was spread luxuriously be-
meath the red pillows Of a couch. And,
set like q torch in the south window,
a geranium. potted in a brilliant In
dian basket. lifted its scarlet blooms.
But Jordan felt without seeing this
harmony. He was looking into the
face of the girl who had opened the
door. 1t was q face of light and shade
that spoke the swift thought before
the voice found words, a face to hold
a mans glance in a crowd. She re-
sumed her seat by the fire without re-
plying to Jordan's genial greeting.
He seemed to fill the room. Six feet
two and broad s~houldered, he looked
even larger in the clumsy canvas coat,
corduroys and high laced boots of the
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1909-06-18

The green lights in the eyes fiared
brighter, a long red tongue licked long,
snarling jaws hungrily. and forth from
the covert stole a lank gray wolf.
Lorena uttered a startled cry. This
was no coyote to be chased with a
stick. 1t was a wolf of timber stock,
a great beast, strong as a mastiffl He
emitted low snarls as he skunk In half
circles across in front. He was unde-
cided.
While he circled, drawing a little
nearer at every turn, Lorena fell back
back toward the bluff, keeping her
white face always toward the creeping
beast.
She took off her heavy shawl and
suddenly threw 1t blanketwise over
the VOLTS head. Then she fed des-
perately.
Once clear of the scrub, she ran on,
plunging through drifts, stumbling,
falling to rise again and push her
flight. OF direction she could take nc
heed. All she could do was to place
distance between herself and the fam
ished brute. But when, weary and
breathless, she paused for rest out Of
the drab drift stole the lank gray
shadow.
With a terrified shrek Lorena ran on
until she had to stop, spent, unable to
take another step. She saw the wolf,
licking his hungry jaws, leaping to-
ward her with no INDIGESTION left.
Lorena screamed and closed her
eyes. Two shots roared out. Looking
up, she saw Floyd Jordan, with smok-
ing revolver In his hand, standing e
the PROSTATE beast.
Floyd, oh, Floydv' she sobbed as he
came to her with eyes tender and anx-
ious. He picked her up from the snow,
wrapped her in his coat and held her
against his breast.
The storm was lifting. FarrelIs cab
in could be discerned not a quarter of
q mile distant.
"Tm dead sure now I'll build that
cabin on my claim" Floyd said as they

prospector. He whipped his hat
against his knee, evidently disconcert-
ed by the girls hostile attitude.
'"That you, Floyd Jordan?" inquired
a voice from the inner
eyes, Mrs. Farrell. "How're you
feeling?'
Somewhat better, Pm glad to say.
Sit down and warm yourself, Floyd.
1t isn't to be wondered at that people
have rheumatics in a land where there's
ten months winter"
Lorena closed the door. "Floyd Jor-
dan, what are you coming here again
for?" she burst out suddenly.

Some n has garbled my words to

first time I ever set eyes on you, and
I've said a disrespectful word
about you. I've been thinking of
building a cabin on my claim, If you'll
have me, Lorena. If you won't I'll
sell out and go back to the States"
"You can't go any too quick to suit
me-" answered the girl, her voice tense
with scorn. "And you can tell those
loafers at the store that I'm not to be

marry you, Floyd Jordan"

''Please tell your mother goodby for

"Lorena Farrell, what have you

into the room. you ought to know

thing like that about you. Depend on

mark my wordv'
Lorena stealthily opened the door
and looked after her lovers %retreating
figure. He had almost reached the
bluff. Something stirred In her throat.
The long stretch of trail that ran
away through the dreary landscape
seemed like her life, and Floyd was
going out of 1t. Her heart yearned for
him. What would her life be without
him?
"Lorena, where are your" called
Mrs. Farrell, emerging again from the
bedroom. The girl was not in the
room. The mother opened the door
and looked out. A wall Of whirling
white met her vision.
"She has gone after him and is
caught in the storml" gasped the
mother.
A knock sounded on the door. Floyd
entered, noisily stamping the snow
from his feet. Thought I'd come
back and have another talk with Lo-
rena"- he began.
"Oh. Floyd, she's gone after your.
cried the distracted woman, wringing
her hands. "She got sorry right after
you left
"I1l find her." said Floyd quickly;
don't worry" And he dashed back
into the storm.
When Lorena softly closed the
kitchen door she could just see Floyd
rounding the bluff. "Floyd, oh, Floyd,
come back!" she called, all her reserve
gone, her fierce pride thrown to the
stormy winds that blew the fringe of
her shawl into her eyes.
Realizing that he could not hear her,
she started after him, but by the time
she had covered half the distance a
sea of white swept in between and
blotted him from her view.
She hurried on, calling his name re-
peatedly, but the furious wind tore at
her breath and walled her about with
fleecy clouds. Suddenly she felt that
she was off the trail.
She turned to the right and then to
the left, but could not find 1t. Des-
perately she struggled on, until her
tired limbs compelled a pause In the
shelter of a bluff. She leaned painting
against a rock, all unconscious OF a
pair of eyes which glared from a VIII
low thicket neal by.
