And God help all the rest"
Overland sat down amid ap-
plause. He located his tobacco and
papers, rolled a cigaret with one
hand, and gazed across the hills.
CHANGING up, he saw Louise look
ing at him. He smiled.
At nod from Aunt Eleanor
they all rose.
Louise stepped from her end of
the table to where Overland stood
gazing out across the hills. She
touched him lightly on the arm.
He turned and looked at her I'M
seeingly. His eyes were filled
with the dreams of his youth,
dreams that had not come true
4" and yet He
gazed down into her face. His ex-
preston changed. His eyes grew
misty with happiness. He realized
how many friends he had and how
loyal and excellent they were. And
of all he had gained his greatest
treasure was his love for Louise
the little Rose Girl of his dreams.
That love lay buried deep in his
rugged heart. She would never
know of it. No one should ever
know. Not even Collie.
Louise, in an ecstacy of affec-
ton and pity that she could not
understand, suddenly flung her
arms around Overland's neck and
Kissed him full on the lips.
More than he had ever dared to
dream had come true.
