but at the age OF twenty-three, with
gray hair and bald withers, she was
still female.
She and her mules had been graz
ing maybe half a mile when my new
stallion, young Jehoshaphat, happened
along with his harem of twenty-five
mares, smelling down wind for a
drink. The mares looked so snug and
grass-fat they could scarcely waddle.
but Jehoshaphat was full of sinful

flattering his vanity with all sorts of
airs and graces. Prue paraded her
self along in front of the harem to
spite the married mares, and all her
mules came worshlping along in pur-
suit. Those mares gave the mules the
biggest kicking you ever saw ia your
life.
There was me lying on Face Rock
like a little boy at circus, and there
was the performance proceeding so
joyful that l never saw Brooke until
he rode down right into the middle
of the fun. Jehoshaphat got mad and
went from Brooke, chasing him around

"Of course, If Brooke hadn't been
a mere mistake on earth, he would
have herded gently to the nearest
corral, and cut the two outfits apart
But Brooke proceeded to lose his
temper, pulled his gun, jumped his
wretched sorrel behind a tree, and let
drive. He missed the stallion. He
shot Prue through the heart.
There was nothing after that to
keep the sixty Star mules together
Some went up the canon, some down,
few even swan the Fraser but the

vanished into the forest.

Billy had spent the week tracking
down the two bad characters who had
served as witnesses to false agree
ment Their confession was now in
evidence against Brooke, in case he
dared repudiate Mathson's rights as
partner, but there was no need to
alarm the cargador So Billy changed
the subject, demanding tea, and there
was fine gossip

"Well?"

The old woman turned her back, for
Pete was crying.
In April there came a rush OF
warmth out of the west, licking up
all the snow, save only on that high
plateau where the Hundred Mile and
Spite House seemed to wait and wait
In the white silence.
Pete sat under roof of cedar
shakes which he had built to shelter
the new "riggings." He was riveting

dreamed of the great north trail. OF

Mother went off content to carry her
own water, and Pete, with something
of flourish, lighted his pipe.
"Mother!" Pete let out sharp call

came quite humbly, as though to heel

and the light in the frosted window
would glow till nearly dawn.
Within, Pete sat upon his shiny
bench, rolling waxed end upon his
shiny knee, and tautened his double
stitches through the night, scarcely
feeling the need of sleep. His new
aparejos, stacked as they were finish
ed, had gradually crowded poor Mrs.
Pete into her last stronghold, the
corner between the wood-box and the
bunk. Fiercely she resented the fill

her bunk with scrap leather, which

One day when the sun shone bright

letter from Captain Taylor. Pete
would not give it to mother, or read
it aloud, or even tell the news. He
danced an ungainly hornpipe, and
mother had to shake him.
