There had been changes. Jack Bar

Moreover, he was making good, in the
popular phrase. at the real-estate
game. The Marshes, as she had pre-

But they had come into money. And
as Bill slangily put it, they were using
their pile to cut a lot of social ice.
Kitty Brooks husband was now the
head of the biggest advertising agency
in Granville. Hazel was glad of that
mild success.
She was inordinately proud of Bill,
when she compared him with the aver

She had NJ reg,eis wfren Bill con-
fined their stay to the time necessary
to t6rn his gold into a bank account,
and allow her to buy trunkful, more
or less, of pretty clothes. Then they
bore on eastward and halted at Ash
croft. Bill had refused to commit
himself positively to date for the
eastern pilgrimage. He wanted to see
the cabin again. For that matter she
did, toO-sO that their sOjOurn there

From Ashcroft an auto stage whirled

The vanguard Of the land hungry

Up and down the Nachaco valley, and
bordering upon the Fraser, were the
cabins Of the pre-emptOrs. The roads

stood as they had left it thirteen
months before. No foot had crossed
the threshold. The pile of wood and

Bill had placed it the morning they
left.
