The Dollar Chasera

Granville took them to Its bosom
with a haste and earnestness that
made Hazel catch her breath. Tact
fully none so much as mentioned An
drew Bush, nor the five-thousand-dollar
legacy-the disposition of which sum
still perplexed that defunct gentle
mans executors. And once more In
a genial atmosphere Hazel concluded
to let sleeping dogs lie. She learned
from various sources that Bills for
tune doomed big, had grown by some
mysterious process of Granville tattle,
until 1t had reached the charmed six
figures Of convention.
There had been changes. Jack Bar
row had consoled himself with a bride.
Moreover, he was making good, In the
popular phrase, at the real-estate
game. The Marshes, 40 she had pre-
viously known them. had been totter-
Ing on the edge of shabby gentility.
But they had come into money. And
as Bill slangily put 1t, 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
age Granville male-yet she found her
self wishing he would adopt a little
more readily the Granville viewpoint.
He fell short Of 1t, or went beyond It,
she could not be sure which; she had
an uneasy feeling sometimes that he
looked upon Granville doings and
Granville folk with amused tolerance,
not unmixed with contempt But he
attracted attention. Whenever he was
minded to talk he found ready lis
teners.
Once or twice she conjured up q
vision Of his getting into some bush
ness there. and utterly foregoing the
North-which for her was already be-
ginning TO take on the aspect Of a
bleak and cherries region where there
was none Of the things which daily
whetted her appetite for luxury, moth

ward- reward well earned, she
thought. SulI-they had been wonder

cabin. she remembered

and then to chat. But a person can't

Hazel had a momentary vision of I'M

these folk were happy. She wondered
briefly If her own viewpoint were pos
sibly askew. She knew that she could
not face such a prospect except In ut
ter rebellion. Not now. The bleak
peaks Of the Klappan rose up before
her minds eye, the picture Of five
horses dead In the snow, the wolves
that snapped and snarled over their
bones. She s%huddered. She was still
bordering this when she and Bill dis
mounted at home.

door and window. The cool evening
wind filled the place with sweet, pine
scented air. Then Bill started a blaze
roaring In the black-mouthed fireplace

and went out to hobble his horses for
the night.
In the morning they began to un-
pack their household goods. Rugs and
bearskins found each Its accustomed
place upon the floor. His books went
back on the shelves. With magical
swiftness the cabin resumed its old
home atmosphere. And that night Bill
stretched himself on the grizzly hide
before the fireplace, and kept his nose
In a book until Hazel, who was in no
humor to read, fretted herself into
something approaching a temper.

she broke into his absorption at last.
He looked up In surprise, then
chucked the volume carelessly aside,
and twisted himself around till his
head rested In her lap.

"Still. I'd like you to talk to me once

Bits eyes narrowed a trile, but he
stiIl smiled. And suddenly he stepped
around behind her chair, put both
hands under her chin, and tilted her
head backward.
"Ah. you're plumb sick and tired to

She had no regrets when Bill con-
fined their stay to the time necessary
to turn his gold into a bank account
and allow her to buy a 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 a date for the
eastern pilgrimage. he wanted to see
the cabin again. For that matter she
did, too-so that their sojourn there
did not carry them over another win
ter.
From Ashcroft an auto stage whlrled
them swiftly into the heart Of the
Cariboo country-to Quesnelle, where
Bill purchased four head Of horses in
an afternoon, packed, saddled, and hit
the trail at daylight in the morning.
The vanguard of the land hungry
had already penetrated to Fort George,
Up and down the Nachaco valley, and
bordering upon the Fraser, were the
cabins Of the pre-emptors. The roads
were dotted with the teams Of the
incoming. A stable town had sprung
up around the old trading post.
"They come like bees when the rush
starts" Bill remarked.
Leaving Fort George behind, they
bore across country toward Pine river,
Here and there certain landmarks,
craven deep In Hazel's recollection
uprose to claim her attention. And
one evening at sunset they rode up to
the little cabin, all forlorn In Its clear
ing.
Inside, a gray Aim of dust had &C.

rooms were oppressive with the musty

stood as they had left 1t thirteen

Crowder Outlines Situation
This was the situation outlined by
Provost Marshal General Crowder last
night.
The favorable report prepared on
the new man-pcwer bill reveals in part
the secret testimony before the Sen
ate Military Affairs Committee and
the military aims and needs OF the
United States and the allies.
1t has been stated that if the bill,
which extends the draft ages to in

classes will be called last. This is the
plan of the War Department., but it is
aso the plan to have the 2,39S,s45 eff

France by June 80, 1919, and of this
number it is estimated that 1,197,6O9
will be of the ages of Is to 20, and
