AS time passed Hazel gradually

into the background. AS a matter of
fact, she resigned herself to getting
through the winter, since that was in
evitable. She fell into the way of do

busted herself at some task in the in

library.
On one of these days Hazel came into
the kitchen and found Bill piling tow
els, napkins, and a great quantity of
other soiled articles on an outspread
tablecloth.
We'll" she inquired, what are you
going to do with those?"
Take 'em to the laundry" he
laughed. Collect your dirty buds, and

rather a far-fetched joke.
"Surei You don't suppose we can

So she brought out her accumulation
of garments, and laid them on the pile.
Bill tied up the four corners of the
tablecloth.
Now" said he, 'let's see if we can't

CHAPTER VIII.
The Drone of the Hive.

The Drone of the Hive.
A black cloud of smoke was rolling
up from the funnel of the Stanley D.
as Bill Wagstaff piloted Hazel from the
grimy Bella Coda hotel to the wharf.
''There amt many passengers" he
told her.. They're mostly cannery
men. But you'll have the captains
wife to chaperon you. She happens
to be making the trip
When they were aboard and the
cabin boy had shown them to what
was dignified by the name of state
room, Bill drew a long envelope from
his pocket.
''Here," he said, sis little money.
I hope you won't let any foolish pride
stand in the way of using 1t freely. 1t
came easy to me. I dug it out of Mother
Earth, and there's plenty more where
it came from. Seeing that 1 deprived
you of access to your own money and
all your personal belongings, you are
entitled to this any way you look at It.
And want to throw in bit OF gra-
tuitous advice-in case you should con-
clude to go back to the Meadows. They
probably looked high and low for you.
But there is no chance for them to
learn where you actually did get to
unless you yourself tell them. The
most plausible exp1anation-and If you
go there you must make some explana-
tion-would be for you to say that you
got lost-which is true enough-and
that you eventually fell in with a
party of Indians, and later on con-
nected up with a party OF white
people who were travelling eastward.
That you wintered with them. and they
put you on steamer and sent you to
Vancouver when spring opened
"That, I guess, is ALL he concluded
slowly "Only 1 visible caught her
by the shoulders and shook her gently
II sure do wish it could have been
different, little person Maybe some
time when I get restless for human
companionship and come out to cavort
in the bright lights for a while, may
pass you on a street somewhere. This
world is very small. Oh, yes-when
you go to Vancouver go to the Lady
smith. It's a nice, quiet hotel in the
West end. Any hack driver knows the
place."
He dropped his hands. and looked
steadily at her for a few seconds,
steadily and longingly-
"Good-byr' he said abruptly
walked out, and down the gangplank
that was already being cast loose. and
away up the wharf without a back
ward glance.
The Stanley DIS siren woke the
echoes along the wooded shore. A
throbbing that shook her from stem
to stern betokened the first turnfngs
of the screw. And slowly she backed
into deep water and swung wide for

CHAPTER VII,
The Fires of sprinc.

There came day when the metallic
brilliancy went out of the sky, and it
became softly, mistily blue. All that
forenoon Hazel prowled restlessly out
of doors without cap or coat. There
was new feel in the air. The deep
winter snow had suddenly lost its
harshness.
Toward evening a mild breeze fresh
ened from the southwest. At ten o'clock
gale whooped riotously through the
trees And at midnight Hazel Weakened

months She rose and CROPPED her way

 ing Burned.

At 8:30 o'clock Monday morn- ing fire broke out in the dry kilns of the factory Chas. Duff, Inc, and after the the hardest fight ever witnessed in Brinkley, the entire plant was totally destroyed.
 A stiff wind was blowing and within less time than it takes to write it, the dry kilns were a mass of flames and it was evi- dent that the plant could be saved only by miraculous efforts. Chas. Duff and R. c. Mitchell and their corp of assistants backed Chief of Fire Department Dow Whitaon and his helpers and put up the prettiest, gamest fire fight ever seen in Brinkley. They would have won in saving the factory proper, had it not been for the driving wind.
 The Chas. Duff, Inc. plant, has for years been the largest and most important manufactur- ing plant in Brinkley with a pay roll footing up in the many thousands of dollars per month, employing from 100 to 150 men, all the time.
 Its loss is the greatest blow to the business interests of Brink ley for many a day and it Is to be hoped that the plant will be rebuilt.
 The loss if factory should be replaced would be on it alone Sl00. 900. Loss on stock about S35, 900. Insurance carried by the Memphis office.
