matter!-had it been placed before
him on the old colonial mahogany OF
the dining-room in Philadelphia. But
up there In the Wiids she had eaten
the coarse homely fare with the zest
and relish of the most seasoned ranger
of the hills. Anxious TO be OF service,
she had burned her hands and smoked
her hair and scorched her face by
usurping the functions OF the young
ranchman who had been brought along
as cook, and had actually fried the
bacon herself! Imagine a goddess
with a frying pan! The black thick
coffee and the condensed milk, drunk
from the granite ware cup, had more
delicious aroma and a more delight
full taste than the finest Mocha and
Java in the .daintiest porcelain OF
France. Optimum condimentum. The
girl was frankly ravenously hungry,
the air, the altitude, the exertion, the
excitement made her able to eat any
thing and enjoy 1t.
She was gloriously beautiful, too;
even her brief experience in the west
had brought back the missing roses
to her cheek, and had banished the
bistre circles from beneath her eyes.
Robert Maitland, lazily reclining
propped up against a boulder, his feet
to the fire, smoking an old pipe that
would have given his brother the hor-
rors, looked with approving com
placency upon her, confident and sat
isfied that his prescription was work
Ing well. Nor was he the only one
who looked at her that way. Marion
and Emma his two daughters, Wor-
shipped their handsome Philadelphia
cousin and they sat one on either side
of her on the great log lying between
the tents and the fire. Even Bob
Junior condescended to give her ap'
proving glances. The whole camp

niece. Kirkby made no secret of his

chiefly by long green felt puttee

what troubled present aspect. She
threw off her preoccupation instantly
and easily, however, and joined read
lily enough in the merry conversation
of the way.
Mr.. Robert Maitland, as Armstrong
has said, had known him from boy.
There were things In his career OF
which Maitland did not and could not
approve, but they were of the past, ne
reflected, and Armstrong was after
all pretty good sort. Mr. Maitland,s
standards were not at all those OF his
Philadelphia brother, but they were
very high His experiences OF men
had been different; he thought that
Armstrong, having certainly by this
time reached years of discretion, could
be safely entrusted with the precious
treasure of the young girl who had
been committed to his care, and for
whom his affection grew as his knoWl-
edge of and acquaintanceship with her
increased.
AS for Mrs. Maitland and the two
girls and the youngster, they were
Armstrong; devoted friends They
knew nothing about his past, indeed
there were things in it of which Matt
land himself was ignorant, and which
had they been known to him might
have caused him to withhold even his
tentative acuuiescence in the poss1bili-
ties.
Most of these things We're known
| to old Kirkby, who with mastery
| skill, amusing nonchalance and amaz-
ing profanity, albeit most Of 1t under
his breath lest he shock the ladies,
fooled along the four nervous, excited
bronchos that drew the big supply

and most valued friend. He had been
the latter's deputy sheriff, he had
been a cowboy and lumberman, 9

i and now, although ne had acquired
reasonable competence, and had nice
/ little wife and a pleasant home in the
/ mountain village at the entrance t.
/ the canon, he drove stage for pleas
IRE rather than for profit. He hae
given over his daily twenty-five mile
