HE TRUDGED AWAY you'll wait for
 INTO THE WEST. me just two years, Marcia, won't you?"
 "I1l wait fifteen years, Jere," she had promised. That is an awful long time, and it proves how much-I careg'
 Jeremiah had admitted tenderly that 1t did prove Marcia's love, and so he had trudged away into the west. The years had dragged by, and Jeremiah had not made fortune, but Marcia was still waiting.
 Every month her lover had written long letter, and these letters became at last a history of disillusionment and hard, hard work-a history of digging underground, of great strikes and disastrous business deals in which Jeremiah Allen always came out a poorer and wiser man than when he entered. It would seem that with so much poverty and wisdom thrust upon him Jeremiah might have done better, but he never did.
 His last letter had contained glowing accounts of a new camp in the Klon- dike. He was there now, she thought.
 eff Jeremiah doesn't come tonight shall marry Captain Ladd in a montn,' ? averred Marcia again as she stared steadily at the fire.
 The clock ticked above the high mantelshelf, the cat purred noisily in the warm corner, and the logs hissed and spat in the fireplace. Outside it was showing softly, and now and then a large flake touched the window pane with muffled rap.
 eff he doesn't come tonight" she ar | gued with herself, ''he can't expect me to wait for him any longer. Pm thir- I weight now. I shall marry Captain Ladd in a month"; She shuddered a little at the sight of Captain Ladd's rubicund visage peering at her around the clock on the shelf
 II don't s'pose Jere d want to see that picture on the shelf," she unused as she hid it in drawer. "He used to be jealous. I expect he's an old man now. He must be forty-two. I hope of poyerty-it's too grinding. If he comes back penniless I shall marry Captain Ladd anywayv'
 With this resolution the door opened, and in walked the captain, his hair and beard sprinkled with clinging snowfiakes until he looked like yer itable Santa Claus
 Thought I'd watch in the new year with you, Marcia" he puffed as he unwound himself from several yards ot woolen muffier q thought to myself that as we was likely to go through the year together as man and wife mebbe

 The captain nodded "Pm willing to be took care of" he said solemnly.
 Marcia knitted calmly, the warm red wool of the mittens threading her strong fingers like ripping flames. It was not easy to realize that she was practically engaged to Captain Ladd. The old sailor had pursued her ever since Jeramiahs departure fifteen years before

 'Not!' said Marcia firmly. My minds made up for good and all"

 'I didn't mean fifteen years, Jere miah," whispered Marcia softly to her self as she thrust Captain Ladd's pic ture in the fire. 'I meant I would wait always. Eve just found it out"
