THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

Helen had taken more trouble to
understand Winifred of late. She
had entered into the child's doings
with Zest that had delighted that
small person, who accepted Helen's
interest as something strange and
delightfully."- pleasant.
One afternoon when Mary had
been unusually busy, Helen herself
went to the school to call for Wini-
fred. She found the child saying
good-by to a slim little girl of about
seven who wore a shock of straight
black hair tumbling over her face,
and who was dressed extensively
and yet with that lack of taste that
characterized the child without a
mother.
This is Mollie. mother" Winifred
said with her direct little manner.
Il wish / could take her home with
me to play, there's nobody at home
for her but the maids"
"Of course she shall come with
usi" Helen said Immediately. ut
will be all right, won't it, Miss Will
son." appealing to one of the fac
ulty who stood near.
Certainly" the woman respond
ed heartily. And then drawing
Helen aside she explained the sit
uation to her.
The child was the daughter of O
wealthy man who had lately lost his
wife. The father did not under
stand children and Mollie was alone
with the servants a great part of
the time. She had few friends.
Winifred had taken a fancy to her
and the children had become
friendly.
"It would be very kind thing,
Mrs. Curtis, to take her home with
you if you would.
And so Mollie came home with
Winifred. and Helen found her Il
child of unusual quality. She sug-
gested strange fanciful games for
them to play, and entered into them
with such a Zest that her small face
became flushed and intense. Helen,
who watched the two children from
time to time, was astounded at the
amount of cleverness the child man
ifested. She could mimic well, and
her gestures were all surprisingly
graceful. Helen felt that 1t would
be fine thing for Winifred to have
child like this to play with, a
child who could stimulate Winifred's s
Imagination and might mean more
than the ordinary acquaintance.
Winifred had known few children.
Once in while Laura Richards s
little step-daughter Joan, came over
to see the child, but Joan was so
much older than Winifred that the
friendship did not progress very
fast.
At four Helen made little party
for the two children. They had
it il the living room and Mary, who
was as pleased as Helen at Wini-
fred's new friendship, stopped her
work in order to fix rolled sand

wiches. There was much talk and
laughter, and Mollie, who pretended
that she was wealthy woman come
to call and have afternoon tea, con-
vulsed Helen with her clever mim-
icry.
II suppose the children are out in
the park this afternoon" the child
drawled languidly. in imitation of
one of her mothers society friends.
ut must be great relief to you
to have found a trustworthy person
to take care of them. And how is
Philip, my dear?"
Helen played the game of pretend
all through the tea while Mollie sat
on the edge of her chair shaking
her black hair out of her slanting
dark eyes. consuming rolled sand
wiches and little cakes and drinking
weak tea with all the delight of a
normal child.
At five Helen sent The child home
with Mary, and at dinner she re.
galed Warren with an account of
the new playmate.
I'm delighted that Winifred
should have such a splendid friend,
dear" she said, after she had given
Warren an imitation of the child as
society woman.
Sounds pretty forward to me-"
warren remarked.
"Oh. but that's because you
haven't seen her: she's quite a
wonder, Warren. 1 don't know
when I've enjoyed myself so we'll.
, And she has plenty of imagination,
so that she will be splendid for
| Winifred."
@"All right, If you think she's so
wonderful, she must be, suppose" :"
Warren returned, and the matter
was promptly forgotten, as Helen
and Warren were going out that
evening.
The next morning. as Helen was
busying herself about the house,
the bell rang and Mary came into
the living room a few minutes later
with a large box.
"a messenger boy just left it
ma am" she explained, and then
waited as Helen cut the strings and
took off the many wrappings.
Five pounds of candy were dis
closed to view in one of the hand
soonest boxes Helen had ever seen.
On the top, slipped under the rib
bon, was n thin envelope which
Helen opened quickly.
There were just a few words on
the thin sheet of paper within.
"In appreciation of your kindness
to my little girl.
Howard Kingston Bangs"
ITS from Mollie's father. Mary"
Helen said. looking up with as
tonished eyes. Wasn't it nice of
him; it's Just to thank me for be-
ing nice to Mollie." But as she
spoke, Helen wondered If Warren

The fearful pain from the tortured
arm, torn at times almost from its
socket, the gradual swapping of
straining ligaments, the constant
rupture of capillaries and veins sus-
tanned his consciousness for a while.
Then the torturing pain abated, the
rough dragging shattered the bruised
body less. Itw as If the Lady and
the storm together were making
easier for the slowly dying man his
last trail across the desert. He still
struggled to keep alive, by sheer will
power, flickering sparks of conscious
ness, and to do so concentrated every
thought on Nan. 1t was poignant
happiness to summon her picture to
his fainting senses; he knew he
should hold to life as long as he
could think of her. Love, stronger
than death, welled in his heart. The
bitter cold and the merciless wind
were kinder as he called her image
from out of the storm. She seemed
to speak--to lift him on her arms.
Ahead, distant mountains rose.
white-peaked. The sun shone. He
rode with her through green fields,
and great peace rested on his weary
senses.
Lady Jane, pushing on and on, en-
lightened by that instinct before
which the reason of man is weak and
pitiful. seeing, as it were. through
the impenetrable curtain of the
storm where refuge lay, herself q
slow-moving crust of frozen snow,
dragged to her journeys end--to the
tight-shut doors of the Calabasas
barn-her unconscious burden, and
stood before them patiently waiting
until sometne should open for her.
IL was one of the heartbreaks of
tragic day that no one ever knew
Just when the Lady reached the door
or how long she and her unconscious
master waited in the storm for ad-
mission. A startled exclamation from
John Lefever, who had periodically
and anxiously left the red-hot stove
il the Office to walk moodily to the
window, brought the men tumbling
over one another as he ran from his
companions to throw open the outer
door and pull the dropping horse into
the barn.
It was the Indian. Scott, who, read
ing first of all the men everything In
the dread story, sprang forward with
stined exclamation, as tho horse
dragged in the snow covered log,
whipped q knife from his pocket, cut
the incumbered arm and white hand
free from the whiffietree, and, carry
ing the stiffened body into the office,
began with insane haste TO cut away
the clothing.
Lefever perceiving 1t was De Spain
thus drawn to their feet, shouted,
while he tore from the blade of
Scotts knife the frozen garments. the
orders for the snow, the heated
water, the warm blankets, the alco-
hol and brandy, and, stripped to his
waist, chafed the marble feet. The

Indian, better than q staff of doctors,
used the cunning of a sorcerer to re-
vive the spark of inanimate life not
yet eXtinguished by the storm. A
fearful interval of suspense followed
the silence into which the work set
tied, a silence broken only by the
footsteps of men running to and
Fl om the couch over which Scott. Le-
fever and McAlpin, half-naked,
worked in mad concert.
De Spain opened his eyes to wan
der from one to the other of the
faces. He half rose up, struggling in
frenzy with the hands that re-
strained him. While his com panions
pleaded to quiet him, he fought them
until, restored to it's seat of reason,
his mind reassureG itself, and, lying
exhausted. he told them in his ex-
quisite torture of whom he had left,
and what must be done to find and
bring them in.
White the relief wagons, equipped
with straining TENS and fianked by
veteran horsemen, were dashing out
OF the barn, he lapsed into uncon-
sciousness. But he had been able to
hold Scott's hand long enought to tell
him he must find Nan and bring her
in, or never come back.
1t was Scott who found her. In
their groupings through the blizzard
the three had wandered nearer CAL
aliases than any one of them dream
ed. And on the open desert, far south
and east of the upper lava beds, it
was Scott's horse that put O foot
through the bottom of the overturn-
ed wagon box. The suspected mound
of snow, with the buried horses
scrambling to their feet, rose upright
at the crash. Duke crouched. half
conscious, under the rude shelter.
Lying where he had placed her, snug
ly between the horses, Scott found
Nan. He spoke to her when she
opened her staring eyes. picked her
up in his arms, called to his COM
panions for the covered wagon, and
began to restore her. without q mo-
ment of delay, to life. He even prom
ised If she would drink the hateful
draft he put to her lips and let him
cut away her shoes and leggings and
the big coat frozen on her, that in
less than an hour she should see
Henry de Spain alive and well.

At Sleepy Cat

Nothing in nature, not even the

OF the after calm. In lie radiance of

three. The town, the division, the

watched the outcome of the struggle.
From as far as Medicine Bend rail-
road surgeons came to aid in the
fight.
