Just short Of the top Bill halted, and
wiped the sweat out of his eyes. And
as he stood his gaze suddenly became
fixed, concentrated stare at point
northward. He raised his glasses.
'By thunder |" he exclaimed. 81 be-
lieve-it's me for the top"
He went up the few remaining yards
with a haste that left Hazel painting
behind. Above her he stood balanced
On bOwlder, cut sharp against the
sky, and she reached him just as he
lowered the field glasses with a sigh
of relief. His eyes shone with exul-
tation.
"Come on up on the perch" he in
vited, and reached forth long, mus
cular arm, drawing her up close be-
side him on the rock.
Behold the Promised Land" he
breathed, ''and the gateway thereof,
lying couple of miles to the north"
They were, 1t seemed to Hazel, roost-
ing precariously on the very summit
Of the world. On both sides the noun
tain pitched away sharply in rugged
folds. Behind them. between them and
the far Pacific, rolled a sea Of noun
tains, snow-capped, glacier-torn, gi-
gantic.
"Down there" Roaring Bill waved
his hand, there's little meadow, and
turf to walk on. Lord, I'll be glad to
get out Of these rocks! You'll never
catch me coming in this way again.
It's sure tough going. And I've been
scared to death for a week, thinking
we couldn't get through"
"But we camp

glasses and look. That fiat we left our
outfit in runs pretty we'll to the top,

the only decent break in the divide for
fifty miles so far as I can see. We're
lucky to hit this pass"
Suppose we couldn't get over hereY"
Hazel asked. "What if there hadn't
been a pass?"
THAT was beginning to keep me
awake nights" he confessed. do you
realize that it's getting late in the
year? Winter may come-bing lin
side Of ten days. And me caught in
rock pile, with no cabin to shelter
my best girl, and no hay up to feed my
horses! You bet it bothered me-"
She Rugged him sympathetically, and
Bill smiled down at her.
"But it's plain sailing now" he con-
tinued. 81 know that basin and all the
country beyond 1t. It's pretty decent
camping place, and there's fairly
easy way out"
He bestowed a reassuring kiss upon
her. They sat on the boulder for a
| few minutes, then scrambled downhill
| to the jack-pine fiat, and built their
evening fire. And for the first time
in many days Roaring Bill whistled
and lightly burst into snatchcs Of song
in the deep, believing voice that had
given him his name back in the Carl
boo country. His humor was infec-
ttous. Hazel felt the gods of high
adventure smiling broadly upon them
once more.
At noon, two days later, they stepped
out Of heavy stand of spruce into
The Benson signal., 1918-12-28

pricked up at the strange sight, shiv-
ertng in the bitter northwest wind that
assailed their bare, unprotected bodies.
Bill himself drew back from the fire
and stared at it f1xedly. He kept Sd
lence until Hazel timidly put her hand
on his arm.
"You watched that fire all right,
didn't your" he said then.
'Bill, Billl" she cried. But he
merely shrugged his shoulders, and
kept his gaze fixed on the burning
stable.
To Hazel, shivering with the cold,
even close as she was to the intense
heat, 1t seemed an incredibly short

snow level was all that remained; a

Bill hesitated, as If taking his bear

of hill jutted into the meadows edge.
A spring dubbed out of a pebbly ba-
sin, and he poked about in the grass
beside 1t with his foot, presently stoop-

to be a short bit Of charred stick.

Campaign, Emerson Ella of Madison,
state executive chairman, points out
that if the enemy should accept an
armiStice on the terms of the allies,
the necessity for the services of the
seven organizations in the drive would
he even greater than with hostilities
continuing.
Army authorities are agreed that
many months will be required before
the domibiliZation of the armies is eff
fected while in some instances it may
require between two end three years
According to DR.. John r. Mott, direc
tor general Of the national campaign,
it will be at least one year before the
American troops now over there will
return to this country.
Wisconsin is determined to raise a
plus subscription Of at least fifty per
cent during the campaign. The rest
Of the country is likewise laying plans
for similar oversubscription.
President Wilson has just approved
to Dr.. Mott personally the appeal OF
the united agencies for an oversub.
scription.
Reports received at the Wisconsin
state headquarters are to the effect
that without regard to race, creed or
color the state is preparing to whole
heartedly back the drive. Indicative OF
this are the voluntary raising of quo
tas in many sections. Milwaukee,
which originally was asked to give
s975,O0O, has pledged minimum CT
s1,500,000, more than so per cent plus
Dane, Oconto and Chippewa counties
are among the many counties of the
state which have revised the respec-
tive allotments in the townships for a
so per cent plus subscription down the
line.
