said Billy Louise. II won't have to
stay all night now. 1 was going to-"
In that case the young man is well
come as a gold mine. Here they come
he and Mrs. Martha. You'll have to
introduce me; l have ever met the
lady," Ward hastily returned the mop
to its corner, rolled down his sleeves
stepped outside and waited beside Billy
Louise, looking not in the least like n
man who has just wiped a lot of dishes
and scrubbed a floor.
The nephew, striding along behind
Marthy and showing head and Shout
ders above her, seemed not to resent
any little m~ischance, such as muddy
water fiirted upon him from a broom.
He grinned reminiscently as he came
up, shook hands with the two of them
and did not let his glance dwell too
long or too often upon Billy Louise nor
too briefly upon Ward.
When Ward went to the stable after
Blue half an hour later Charlie Fox
went with him. His manner when they
were alone was different, not so exub-
erantly cheerful-more frank and prac-
teal.
Honest, it fioored me completely to
see what that poor old woman has been
up against down here" he told Warren,
stutfing tobacco into a silver trimmed
bfiar pipe while Ward saddled Blue.
Il don't know a deuce of a lot about
this ranch game, but If that old lady
can put 1t across l guess l can wabble
along somehow. Too bad the old man
cashed in just now, but Aunt Martha
as good as told me he wasn't much
force, so maybe l can play a lone hand
here as easy as l could have done with
him."
Afterward, when Ward thought il
over, he remembered gratefully that
Charlie Fox had refrained from at
tempting any discussion of Billy Louise
or from asking any questions even re-
motely personal. He knew enough about
men to appreciate the tactful silences
of the stranger, and when Billy Louise
on the way home predicted that the
nephew was going TO be a success Ward
did not feel like qualifying the verdict.

wagon first fords the Wolverine stream.
Jase Is ready to stop at the first green
spot, but Marthy insists on plodding along
another full days journey. That night,
through natural instinct, two of the oxen
stray into a narrow gorge and feast on
the rich grasses of the Cove, where they
are found by Marthy who recognizes the
little, hidden Eden as the place OF her
dreams and the pioneers at once take pos
session. Later they are Joined by an
other couple who are impressed with the
Wolverine and also establish a home. To
them is born a daughter, christened Billy
Louise.
CHAPTER II-After a visit to Marthy,
Billy Louise on her horse Blue reaches

She knew without a word of expla-
nation just what had happened. From
Marthy's bent shoulders she knew and
from her tear stained face and from
the yellow soil clinging still to the
shovel in her hand. The wide eyes of
Billy Louise sent seeking g~iances up
the slope where the soil was yellow;
went to the long, raw ridge under the
wall, with the peach blossoms standing
pitifully awry upon the western end
Her eyes filed with tears. "Oh, Mar

You needn't do nothin' you amt a

you to think you got to slop around

down into the medder and work on a
ditch I'm putin in. You jest do what
you've a mind to-" She picked up the
shovel and went off down the jungly
path, herself the ugliest object in the
cove, where she had created so much
beauty.
Billy Louise sat down on the rock
where Marthy had rested after digging
the grave and, with her chin in her two
cupped palms, stared out across the
river at the heaped bluffs and down at

She was trying, as the young will al
ways try, to solve the riddle of life, and
she was baffled and unhappy because
she could not find any answer at all
that pleased both her ideals and her
reason. And then she heard a mans
voice lifted up in riotous song and she
turned her head toward the opening of
the gorge and listened, her eyes bright
ening while she waited.
Ward came into sight through the lit
tie meadow. riding slowly. with both
hands clasped over the horn of the sad
die, his hat tilted back on his head and
his whole attitude n of absolute con-
tent with life. He saw Billy Louise
almost as soon as she glimpsed him,
and she had been watching that bit of
road quite closely. He tipped the reins
TO one side and turned from the trail to
ride straight up the slope to where she
was.
Billy Louise, with a self reproachful
glance at the grave, ran down the slope
to meet him-an unexpected welcome,
which made Wards heart leap in his
chest.

which were of kind conveniently car

gray background of mud and rubbish
and a iisbanded army their two fg-
ures glittered with hrilliance that
would have been conspicuous in the
Rue de la Paix.
Heavy sable furs and nuns almost
bowed their shoulders; each finger had
two or three rings that flashed in the
light; round their necks were gold
chains hung with pendants, and yet
instead Of the air OF self-satisfied os-
