CHAPTER XVIII.
Home Auain,


Twelve months works many a
change on changing frontier. Hazel
found this so. When she came TO plan
her route she found the G. Il. Z. bridg-
Ing the last gap In transcontlnental
system, its trains westbOund already
within striking distance Of Fort
George. She could board sleeping
car at Granville and detraln within II
hundred miles of the ancient trading
post-with fast river boat to carry
her the remaining distance.
Fort George loomed up jumbled
area of houses and tents, log buildings,
frame structures yellow In their new
ness, strangers to paint as yet. On
every hand others stood In varying
stages of erection. Folks hurried
about the sturdy beginning Of fu-
ture greatness. And as she left the
boat and followed a new.laid walk
Of planks toward hotel, Jake Lauer
stepped out Of store, squarely into
her path.
His round face lit up with smile
Of recognition. And Hazel, fresh from
the long and lonesome journey, was
equally glad to set eyes on n familiar,
genuinely friendly face.
