hastily, pulled the wolf-skins or the

down bareheaded to the stable, saw
Rather industriously boring his nose

was better. She knew he was better.
She did not speak. but went over to
the stove and pretended to be busy
there, though she was careful to make
no noise. When she turned finally and
glanced toward the bed, Ward wa

Billy Louise took a deep breath, tip

DL0YD CARSON was a phlegmatic

led nowhere except to the womanless
abode of Samuel Seabeck. He walked
very fast to the stable, which was the
first logical stopping place, and so he

Floyd eyed her uncertainty, decided
that Billy Louise was not I'm the mood

hurried off to find Seabeck without
shouting for him-lest he bring others

some dlffidence about visiting a strict
ly bacneior outfit, and he set himself
to relieve her Of any embarrassment.
Presently Seabeck himself came
from the dirt-roofed, rambling cabin

He disappeared, and Billy Louise
