Had to Have pie.

A New York woman who thinks she
knows the public taste because Of her
experience in the boarding house bust
ness and as the manager of a summer
resort hotel thinks that the statement
made by a Chicago baker that pie
has ceased to be popular with the
masses of this country" is ''all wrong"
1T may be true for Chicago" she said,
"but in this part OF the world pie is
stin popular. Two years ago we had
a little strike in the kitchen of our
seashore place and the pastry end was
the hardest to get right For four
days we had no pie, but furnished in
stead more expensive desserts. But
We had a regular pie strike among our
guests. apd pie we had to have. 1t
wasn't like any mans mother ever
made, because it was amateur work,
but it was pie, and that's all they
wanted"

CHAPTER ~.
Out of Night and Storm.

When Rose Cannon woke on the
morning after her arrival at Antelope,
a memory of the snowfiakes of the
evening before made her jump out of
bed and patter barefooted to the win
dow. It seemed to her it would be
Tots of fun" to be showed up at An
telope, and when she saw only a thin
covering of white on the hotel garden
ard the diminishing perspective of
roofs. she drew her mouth into a gri-
mace Of disappointment.
With hunched-up shoulders, her
hands tucked under her gsms, she
stood looking out, her breath blur
ring the pane in dissolving film of
smoke 1t was a cold little world
Below her the garden-the summer
pride Of Perley's Hotel-lay a sere,
withered waste, its shrubs stiff in the
grip of the cold. The powdering of
snow on its frost-bitten leaves and
gr;zzled grass added to its air Of
bleakness. Beyond rose the shingled
roofs Of Antelope's main street. Rose,
standing gazing up, wondered If her
father would go on to Greenhide, the
new camp twenty miles from Ante
lope, where an important strike had
recently been made.
Half an hour later when they met
at breakfast he told her he would not
leave for Greenhide that morning
Perley had warned him not to at
tempt it, and he for his part knew the
country well enough to realize that
it would be foolhardy to start under
such a threatening sky. 1t would be
all right to stop over at Antelope till
the weather made up it's mind what
it meant to do. 1t might not be fun
for her, but then he had warned her
before they left San Francisco that
she would have to put up with rough
accommodations and unaccustomed
discomforts.
Rose laughed. Her father did not
understand that the roughness and
novelty of it all was what she en-
joyed He was already a man of
means when she was born, and she
had known nothing of the hardships
and privations through which he and
her mother had struggled up to for
tune. Rocky Bar the night before and
Antelope this morning were her first
glimpses OF the mining region over
which the pioneers had swarme1 IN
49, Bill Cannon, only a lad in his
teens among them.
Perley's warnings of bad weather
were soon verified. Early in the att
ernoon the idle, occasional snow
flakes had begun to fall thickly, with
soft, persistent steadiness of pur-
pose.
At four o'clock, Willoughby, the
Englishman who had charge of the
shutdown Bella X. mine, came, but
ting head down against the wind, a
group of dogs at his heels, TO claim
the hospitality of the hotel His
Waterman, an old timer, had advised
him to seek shelter better stored
with provisions than the Office build
ing of the Bella K. Willoughby, whose
accent and manner had proclaimed
him as one of high distinction before
il was known in Antelope that he
was some relation to a lord" was
made welcome in the bar. His four
red setter dogs. shut out from that
hospitable retreat by the swing door
grouped around il and stared expect
antly, each shout from within being
answered by them with plaintive and
ingratiating whines.
The afternoon was still young when
the day began TO darken. Rose Can

feet the town-bred young lady. She
ran to the door of the parlor, as in
genuously curious to see the new ar
rivals and find out who they were as
though she had lived in Antelope for
a year.
Looking down the hap -Isa saw the
front door open violently inward and
two men hastily enter. The wind
seemed to blow in and before Perley's
boy could press the door shut the
snow had whitened the damp mat
ting. No stage passed through Ante
| lope in these days of its decline, and
the curiosity felt by Rose was shared
by the whole hotel. The swing door
to the bar opened and men pressed
into the aperture. Mrs. Perley came
up from the kitchen, wiping dish

doorway, and in answer to Miss Can

so he's brought 'em round this way
and dumped 'em here. There amt
but two passengers. That's them"
She indicated the two men who.
standing by the hall stove. were di-
vesting themselves of their wraps.
One of them was a tall upright old
man with a sweep of gTiZzled beard
covering his chest, and gray hair fall
ing from the dome of a bald head
The other was much younger. tall
also, and spare to .leanness. He wore
gray fedora hat. and against its
chill, unbecoming tint. his face, it's
prominent, bony surface nipped by
the cold to a raw rednesg, looked sal
low and unhealthy With an air of
solicitude he laid his overcoat across
a chair, brushing of the snow with a
careful hand Buttoned tight in

UP about his neck, ne had an appear

pressed into garments too small for
him. His shinykauckled, purplish
hands, pinching UP the shoulders Of
his coat over the chair back, were in
keeping with his general suggestion
of a large-boned meagerly covered
lankness The fact that he was
smooth-shaven, combined with the IN
usual length of dark hair that ap-
peared beloV his hat-brim, lent him
a suggestion of something interest

Now, having arranged his coat 70
