and began to set the table for Phoebe

setting a fourth place for Ward. she
was so sure he would come as soon as
he could. MOmmie used to say that
II you set a place for a person that
person would come and eat with you

Phoebe glanced at her pityingly when
she saw her hesitating with the fourth
plate in her hands. Phoebe thought
that Billy Louise had unconsciously
brought II for mommie. Phoebe did
not know that love Is stronger even
than grief, for at that moment Billy
Louise was not thinking Of mommie
at all.

me, and here are the frst fruits OF my
~endeavor-I guess that's the way the say
IT. I've spent so much time sitting by
mommie when she's asleep and / get tired
of reading all the time, so a nurse in this
ward-mommie has a room to herself, of
course, but not a special nurse, because
i can do a lot Of the little things. Well.
the nurse taught me how to hemstitch.
80 l got some silk and mad some nice
soft observation-disclosures for you and one
for me.
This one I made last. 1 didn't want
your eagle eyes seeing all the bobby
stitches on the first one. 1 hope you like
II, Ward. Every stitch stands for a
thought of the hills and our good times.
I've brought Minervy back to life, and 1
try to play my old pretends sometimes.
But they always break W into pieces. I'm
not a kid now, you see. And life Is a lot
different when you get out into II, isn't it,
Mommie doesn't seem to get much bet
ter. I'm worried about her. She seems
to ave let go, somehow. She never ak
about the ranch much or even worries
about whether Phoebe is keeping the win
dows washed. She talks about when she
was a little girl and about when she and
daddy were first married. II gets on my
nerves to see how she has slipped out Of
everyday life. The nurse says that's COM
m though, in sickness. She says I
could go home and look after things for
a week or so just as well as not. She
says mommie would be all right. But 1
hate to leave her.
I'm awfully homesick for a good old ride
on Blue. l miss him terribly. Have you
seen anything Of the cove folks lately?
Seems like I'm clear out Of the world. l
hate town, anyway, and a hospital Is the
limit for dismalness. Even the Louise of
me is getting ready to do something aw-
full If I have to stay much longer. Nom
mie sleeps most Of the time. 1 believe they
dope her with something. She doesn't
have that awful pain so bad. 80 don't
have anything to do but sit around and
read and sew and wait for her to wake
up and want something.
And this is Christmas, almost I won
der what you'll be doing. Say, Ward. IL
you want to be a perfect jewel OF a man
send me some of hat Jerky you've got
hanging at the head OF your bunk l
swtped some that last time 1 was there.
1t would taste mighty good to me now
after all this hospital truck.
Well, a merry Christmas, Pal-o'-mine.
and here's hoping you and mommie ana
I will be eating turkey together at the
Wolverine when next Christmas comes,
Nummy-numl Wouldn't that taste good,
thought
Now remember and write a whole tablet

Phoebe put that letter on the mantel
over the fireplace the day after Christ
mas.
Billy Louise refrained from expect
ing any reply until after New Years

along the river. 1 know one place
where 1 believe cattle can get down to
the bottom. If they're crazy enough to
try it. You didn't look there. did
your
mo. 1 never looked down there. 1
know they can't git down nohow."
"Well all right; maybe they can't"
Billy Louise slackened the reins, and
Blue went of with short, s~tif-legged
jumps. II had been a long time since
he had felt the weight Of his lady,
and his mood now was exuberant.
Blue threw up his head. lifted his
heels. and ran ike a scared jackrab-
bit over the uneven ground. They
were not keeping 10 the trail at all !;
trails were too tame for them in that
mood. They ran along the rim-rOck
al the last, where Billy Louise could
glance down. now and then. at the
river sliding Ike a bright blue ribbon
with icy edges through the gray, snow
spotted hills.
Hold on. Blue" Billy Louise
pulled up on the reins. "Quit it, you
old devil! A mile ought to be enough
for once. 1 should think. There's cattle
down there in that bottom. sure as you
live. And We. my dear sir. are going
down there and take a look at them
She managed to pull Blue down 10
stif-legged jumps and then 10 a walk.
Finally she stopped him. so that she
could the better take in her surround
ings and the possibilities Of getting
down.
Blue had caught sight Of the moving
specks far down next the river and Up
the stream half a mile or more. He
was a cow-horse 10 the bone. He knew
those far-off specks for cattle. and he
knew that his lady would like a closer
look at them.
Blue chose his trail and srumpled
at the knees with his hoofs on the very
edge Of the ledge; went down with
cat-jump and landed with all four fee
planted close together. He had nc
mind TO go on sliding in spite OF him
self, and the blum was certainly steer
enough TO excuse a bungle.
II was with a distinct air of triumph
that Blue reached the bottom. ever
though he slid the last forty feet or
his launches and landed belly-deep il
a soft snowbank. II was with triumph
TO match his perky ears that Billy Lou
Use leaned and slapped him on the
neck. "We made it," she cried. "an6
1 didn't have 10 walk a Sep. did l
Blue7 You're there with the goods
all right"
Blue scrambled out Of the bank e
firm footing on the ripened grass OF
the bottom. and with a toss OF his head
set Of In a swinging lope. Swerving
now and then 10 avoid a badger hole
or a half-sunken rock. They had done
something new. those two; they hat
reached a place where neither had evel
been before. and Blue acted as II he
knew II and glOried in the escapadC
quite as much as did his lady.
The cattle spied them and went trot
ting away up the river, and Blue quick
ened his stride a little and followed
after. Billy Louise left the reinS upor
his neck. Blue could handle cartl,
alone quite as Skillfully as with {
rider. IL he chose.

and when the days passed and brought
her no word her moods changed often
er than the weather.
Wards literary efforts along about
that time consisted Of cutting notches
in the window sill beside his bunk.
On the day when the stage driver
gave Billy Louise's letter to Phoebe
Ward cut a deeper, wider notch, think
ing that day was Christmas. Under
the notch he scratched a word with
the point Of his knife. It had four
letters, and 1t told eloquently Of the
state Of mind he was in.
The letter gathered dust upon the
mantel down 1t the Wolverine. When
the postmark was more than two
weeks old another letter came, and
Phoebe laid 1t on the first one with
fingers that trembled a little. Phoebe
had a letter Of her own that day. Both
were thin, and the addresses were more
scrawly than usual. Phoebe's Indian
instinct warned her that something
was amiss.
This was Wards letter:
oh. God. Ward, mommie's dead. She
died last night I thought she was asleep
till the nurse came In at 5 o'clock I'm
all alone and / don't know what to do. I
wish you could come, but II you don't get
this right away, III see you at the ranch
I'm coming home as soon as / can. oh.
Ward. 1 hate life n everything.
BILLY LOUISE.
Please Ward. stay at the ranch TIL I
come. l want to see you 1 feel as II
you're the only friend I'VE got left, now
mommte's gone. She looked so peaceful
when they took her sway-and 80 strange.
/ didn't belong TO her n more. 1 felt
as II l didn't know her at all-and there
is such an awful gap in my l~ife-maybe
you'll understand. You always do.
The day that letter was written
Ward drew a plan of the house he
meant to build some day, with a wide
porch on the front, where a hammock
would swing comfortably.
He had no presentiment Of Bllly's
need of him, which was just as well,
since he was absolutely powerless to
help her.
Billy Louise, having arrived unex-
pectedly on the stage, pulled of her
fur lined mittens and put her chilled
hands before the swapping blaze in the
fireplace. Her eyes were tired and
sunken. and her mouth dropped pitt
fully at the corners, but aside from
that she did not seem much changed
from the girl who had left the ranch
two months and more before.
I'm take a cup Of tea, Phoebe. but
I'm not a bit hungry" she said. II
ate just before 1 left town. How have
you been, Phoebe?"
1--WE been fine. We been so sorry
for you
Never mind that now, Phoebe. I'd
rather not talk about 1t. Has anybody
been here lately?'

Preachers To Tell OF Y. W. G. A.
Work.

Sunday, September %. is to be Blue
Triangle Sunday throughout Maryland. and
every minister in the State. and every
Sunday school superintendent will be asked
to tell their CONGREGATIONS and schools on
that day what great work is done by the
Young Women's Christian Association both
in France and other war-ridden countries
and in the United States.
The idea of observing a Blue Triangle
Sunday originated with Miss Florence E
WILDER, who recently came to Baltimore
to organize the State in readiness for the
big drive for war relief funds which will
take place in September and will be par
ticipated in by the Young Women's Chris
tian Association. the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, the War Camp Commu-
nifty Service and the American Library
Association.
Miss WILDER in few days will send out
letters to every minister and every Sunda y
school superintendent. calling attention to
the wonderful work of the Y. W. C. A. and
asking them to make 1t the subject of
either sermon or a talk.
The Y. W. C. A. is maintaining a corps
of workers in Europe and in this country
is modifying the women and girls, so that
the positions made vacant when the next
draft calls more than 100000 men tC
the colors may be filed promptly and
efficiently.
