THE TOUCH or IT MADE FURTHER SPEECH
IMPOSSIBLE
that this forest service is the policy of
the future and that II offers fine
chances for promotion, and then, final
| ly, he likes It,"
"That is all well enough for IL young
man, but Ross Is at least thirty-iive
and should bc thinking OF settling
down. | can't understand his point of
view"
MY dear, you have never seen the
procession of the seasons from such
point OF view as that which he en-
joys"
NO and do not care to- 1t is quite
lonely enough for me right here
Redfleld looked at Lee with comic
darkness. Mrs. Redfeld is hopeless
ly urban. AS the wife of forest SUI
| Bervisor she cares more for pavements
and tramcars than for the most splen-
did mountain park"
II most certainly do" his wife Wig
orously agreed, land IL had my way

more English than Mrs. Enderby."
"I'm not, but long for the civilized
instead OF the Wild / like comfort
and society"
80 do l." returned he.
YES; the comfort OF an easy chair
on the porch and the society OF your
forest rangers. This ranch life is all
very well for a summer outing but to
be tied down here all the year round
is to be denied ones birthright as
modern"
All this more or less cheerful com
plant expressed the minds Of many
others who live amid these superb
scenes. When autumn comes, when
the sky Is gray and the peaks are hid
In mist, they long for the music, the
lights, the comfort of the city. But
when the April sun begins to go down
In n smother Of crimson and fame and
the mountains loom with epic dignity,
or when at dawn the air Is like some
divine food descending from the UNI
stained mysterious heights, then the
dweller In the foothills cries out:
"How fortunate we are! Here are
health and happiness! Here poverty
is unknown
Mrs. Redfeld was becoming more
and more interested In Virginia. who
had not merely the malodorous repu-
tation of her mother to contend with,
but the memory of n traitorous sire TO
live down, and when the girl went to
a 4. l,. All 81
turned TO her husband and said:
ROSS Is terribly smitten with her"
Redfield coughed uneasily II hope
not OF course he admires her as any
man must. She's physically attrac.
tive very attractive, and, besides,
Ross Is as susceptible as a cowpunch-
er. He was deeply impressed the first
time he saw her; | could see that"
81 didn't like his going out on the
veranda with her last night" contn-
ued Mrs. Redfeld, "and when they
came I'm her eyes and color indicated
that he'd been saying something ex-
citing to her. Hugh Ross Cavanagh
must not get involved with that girl.
It's your duty as his superior to warn
him"
Hes fully grown, my dear, and Il
bit dictatorial on his own part. I'm
trl6e timid about cutting in on his
private affairs"
"Then I'll do IT. Marriage with a
girl like that Is out of the question
Think what his sisters would say!'
Redneld smiled bit satirically. etc
the outsider forest ranger at 5000 q
year and find himself and horses is
not what you may call brilliant
catch"
"Oh. well the outsider Is no judge
Ross Cavanagh is gentleman, and
besides, he's sure to be promoted
acknowledge the girls charms, and
don't understand IL. When | think OF
her Collectively as Lie Wetherford's
girl | wonder at her being in my house
When | see her | want her to stay
with me. | want TO hug her"
perhaps we've been unjust TO Lie
all along" suggested Redheld. "Sho
has remained faithful to I'D Wether'
ford's memory all these years-that Is
conceded Doesn't that argue some
; unusual quality? How many women
do we know who are capable Of such
loyalty? Come, now Lie Is rough
piece of goods, I'll admit, and hel
lunch counter was public nuisance
but she had the courage to send hel
girl away to be educated, denying her
self the JOY of seeing her develop b!
her side. We mustn't permit on
prejudlces to run away with us"
The girls return put stop to tn
discussion, which could end In nothing
