smokehouse. Two or three blanketed
bucks squatted by the fire that sent Its
blue smoke streaming out the apex OF
the lodge.
Heap fine squaw!" one suddenly ad'
dressed Bill. "Where you ketchum?"
Bill laughed at Hazel's confusion.
away Off" He gestured southwark,
and the Indian grunted some unintel-
ligible remark in his own tongue
which Roaring Bill laughed again.
Before they started home Bill sue
ceeded in purchasing, after much talk,
a pair Of moccasins that Hazel con-
coded to be work of art, what with
the dainty pattern of beads and the
Ornamentation of colored porcupfne
quilts. Her feminine soul could not
cavil when Bill thrust them in the
pocket of her coat, even If her mind
was set against accepting any peace
tokens at his hands.
In the nearing suaset they went
home through the frost-bitten woods,
where the snow crunched and squeaked
under their feet, and the branches
broke Off with pistol-like snap when
they were bent aside.
A hundred yards from the cabin Bill
challenged her for a race. She refused
to run, and he picked her up bodily,
and ran with her to the very door. He
held her a second before he set her
down. and Hazel's face whitened. She
could feel his breath on her cheek, and
she could feel his arms culver, and the
rapid beat of his heart. For an instant
she thought Roaring Bill Wagstaff was
about to make the colossal mistake of
trying to kiss her.
But he set her gently on her feet and
opened the door. And by the time he
had his outer clothes off and the fires
started up he was talking whimsically
about their Indian neighbOrs, and Ha-
Eel breathed more freely. The clear
est impression that she had. aside from
her brief panic, was of his strength. He
had run with her as easily as If she
had been a child.
After that they went out many times
together. Bill took her hunting, initi-
ated her into the mysteries Of rifle
shooting, and the manipulation of a
six-shOOter. He taught her to walk on
snowshoes lightly over the surface of
the crusted snow, through which other
wise she flOundered. A sort of truce
arose betweenHhem, and the days drift
ed by without untoward incident. Bill
tended to his horses, chopped wood,
carried water. She took upon herself
the care of the house. And through
the long evenings. in default Of CONVEX
sation. they would sit with a book on
either side Of the fireplace that roared
defiance to the storm gods without.
And sometimes Hazel would find her
self wondering why Roaring Bill Wag-
staff could not have come into her life
in a different manner. AS it was-she
never never would forgive him.

He dropped his hands. and looked
steadily at her for a few seconds,
steadily and longingly.
"Good-by!" he said abruptly-and
walked out, and down the gangplank
that was already being cast loose, and
away up the wharf without a back

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 great quantity OF
other soiled articles on an outspread
tablecloth.
"Well," she inquired, "what are you
going to do with those?"
"Take 'em to the laundry" he
laughed. "Collect your dirty buds. and
bring them forth"
"Laundry!" Hazel echoed. 1t seemed
rather a far-fetched joke.

The Fires Of Sprinu.

GuOo " 0RutUHs
There came day when the metallic
brilliancy went out Of the sky, and 1t
became softly. mistily blue. All that
forenoon Hazel prowled restlessly out
of doors without cap or coat. There
was a new feel in the air. The deep
winter snow had suddenly lost its
harshness.
Toward evening mild breeze fresh
ened from the southwest. At ten o'clock
a gale whooped riotously through the
trees. And at midnight Hazel wakened
to sound that she had not heard in
months. She rose and CROPPED her way
to the window. The encrusting frost
had vanished from the panes. They
were wet to the touch Of her fingers,
She unlocked the fastening, and swung
the window out. A great gust Of damp,
warm wind blew strands of hair across
her face. She leaned through the case
ment, and drops Of cold water struck
her bare neck. That which she had
heard was the dripping caves. The
chinook wind droned its spring song,
and the bare boughs Of the tree beside
the cabin waved and creaked the time.
At dawn the caves had ceased their
drip, and the dirt roof lay bare to the
cloud-banked sky. From the southwest
the wind still blew strong and warm.
The thick winter garment Of the earth
softened to slush, and vanished with
amazing swiftness. Streams Of water
poured down every depression. Pools
stood between the house and stable.
Spring had leaped strong-armed upon
old Winter and vanQuished him at the

HEALTH THAT MAKES WEALTH
Nervous Energy Which Enables One
to Think New Thoughts and Until
ate New Plans Important.

Probably the majority Of men do not
know what real health means. 1t
means more than the capacity to sit
up and eat, to walk, to board car and
to bend over a desk. Real health
means more than the real ability to do
the same thing day after day. Real
health means degree Of stirring, nerv-
Gus energy that enables one to think
new thoughts, conceive new plans and
initiate new enterprises. Superb
bundant nervous energy is back of ex-
ceptional mental activity. 1t is the
basis Of all those qualities which are
most essential in the struggle for sue
cess.
It Is not sufficient to have health
that will enable you to do common
place days work. Hugo Masters writes
in Physical Culture. The right kind
of health should give you the energy
with which to perform far more than
a days work, If necessary, even from
a cumulative standpoint. 1t is COM
monty the man with an unlimited ca
pacity for work who gets on. He is
able to work long hours without firing.
Successful men invariably enjoy the
possession Of this degree OF nervous
endurance or working endurance.
But it is not this that Is most Inn
portant. The possession Of energy is
essential, not so much for the sake of
the capacity for long hours of work,
but on account Of the quality of work
which 1t enables one to perform.
Quality of effort is more important
than quantity of work and the greatest
value Of unlimited energy lies in Civ.
ing one the capacity for concentration,
the capacity for an intensity Of effort
that is beyond the average man.
