THE RIDE TO SHILOH
BY George Munson

Hello, boys! Which of you'll hitch
up the dogs and take Miss Airline to
ShiIoh?"
The Iumbermen stopped dancing.
Half a dozen turned to look at the
speaker He was the camp cook.
They sprang forward, not under
standing, but eager for the chance.
Airline was the only child of Joe
Bonner, the boss of a big section on
the Northern claim and now so miles
away in the woods. Airline was the
adored of all the lumbermen, most
of whom dreamed of the time when
they could ask her to marry them.
Big Jim O'GTady, Lean Mike, little
Bienaime, the FrenChman, all loved
Airline. She had firted with each of
them as only a girl of Is can fiirt;
but none of them knew who was the
favored one.
Each, including little Bienaime,
was sure that it could not be Bien-
Anne. Only the day before Airline
had sent the boy away with a long
face when he dared to remind her of
a promised dance. She had sneered
at his size in the presence of the 9TH
ers; and they had laughed at him.
"It's-it's smallpox" explained the
cook in a terrified whisper.
Every man halted. The dread dis
ease was epidemic around them in
half a dozen camps, but so far this
one had escaped. All loved Airline,
but nobody was going to drive thirty
miles with an infected girl in a dog
sleigh.
Little Bienaime came forward. He
was shaking and as white as a sheet,
but he came forward.
q will take her." he said, and was
conscious that, though the music
had started again, nobody was pay
ing any attention to it.
