PEELED to try, and upon this, her second
journey nOrthward, the truth Of that
statement grew more patent with each
passing day.
So trailing north with old Limping
George, his fat klootch, and two half
grown Siwash youths, Hazel bore
steadily across country, driving as
straight as the rolling land allowed,
for the cabin that snuggled in woodsy
basin close up to the peaks that guard

There came day when brief uncer-
talnty became sure knowledge at sight
Of a L-shaped body Of water glimmer-
ing through the f1re-thinned spruce.
Her heart fluttered for a minute. Like
a homing bird, by grace Of the rude
map and Limping George, she had
come to the lake where the Indians
had camped in the winter, and she
could have gone blindfolded from the
lake to Roaring Bills cabin.
She urged her pony through the
light timber growth and across the
little meadows where the rank grass
and strange varicolored flowers were
springing up under the urge Of the
warm spring sun. Twenty minutes
brought her to the clearing. Silk and
Satin and Niger, loaflng at the sunny
end Of the stable, pricked up their ears
at her approach, and she knew that
Roaring Bill was home again. She tied
her horse to sapling and drew nearer.
The cabin door stood wide.
A brief panic seized her. She felt
sudden shrinking, wild desire for
headlong flight. But 1t passed. She
knew that for good or Ill she would
never turn back.
On the soft turf her footsteps gave
forth no sound. She gained the door

Bill faced the end Of the long room, but
he did not see her, for he was slumped

improvements in House Details.

There are odds and ends about a
house which, with little renovation
and improvements, add to the beauty
of the. house. Front doors are In this
class. Formerly wood was used to
great advantage and still has not gone
out of favor, but glass and metal are
slowly becoming popular in this line
of house adornment. The new idea,
that of glass and metal, may be used
with taste provided the combination
is not ridiculous and in striking con-
trast to the architecture of the house
itself.

They were sitting on the warm earth
before their cabin. their backs propped
comfortably against log, watching
the sun sink behind q distant skyline
all notched with purple mountains
upon which snow still fingered. Beside
them smudge dribbled a wisp Of
smoke sufficient to ward of pesti-
lential swarm Of mosquitoes and black
flies. In the clear, thin air Of that
altitude the occasional voices Of what
bird and animal life was abroad In the
wild broke into the evening hush with
astonishing distinctness-a lone goose
winged above in wide circles, uttering
his harsh and solitary cry. He had
lost his mate, Bill told her. Far OF In

through the outskirts Of the city. Ha-
eel told herself that she was going
home. Barrow smiled friendly assur-
ance over the seat.
Even so. she was restless. far from
content. There was something lack
ing. At half after eight she called the
porter and had him arrange her section
for the night. And she got into bed,
thankful to be by herself, depressed
without reason.
She slept for time, her sleep bro
ken into by morbid dreams, and even
tually she wakened to find her eyes full
Of tears. She did not know why she
should cry, but cry she did till her pill
low grew moist-and the heavy feeling
in her breast grew, If anything. more
intense.
She switched on the tiny electric
bulb over her head, and fumbled in
her purse for another handkerchief.
Her fingers drew forth, with the bit Of
linen, a folded sheet Of paper, which
seemed to hypnotic her, so fixedly did
she remain looking at it. A sheet Of
plain white paper, marked with dots
and names and crooked lines that
stood for rivers, with shaded patches
that meant mountain ranges she had
seen-Bill Wagstaff's map.
She stared at it long time. Then
she found her time table, and ran along
the interminable string Of station
names till she found Ashcroft, from
whence northward ran the Appian way
of British Columbia, the Cariboo road,
over which she had journeyed by stage.
| She noted the distance, and the limit
eds hour of arrival, and looked at her
watch. Then a feverish activity took
hold Of her. She dressed, got her
suitcase from under the berth, and
stuffed articles into it, regardless Of
order.
That done, she set her suitcase in
the aisle, and curled herself In the
berth, with her face pressed close
against the window. A whimsical
smile played about her mouth, and her
fingers tap-tapped steadily on the
purse, wherein was folded Bill Wag-
Stairs map.
And then out of the dark ahead q
cluster Of lights winked briefly, the
shrek of the limited's whistle echoed
up and down the wide reaches of the
North Thompson, and the coaches
came to a stop. Hazel took one look
to make sure. Then she got softly into
the aisle, took up her suitcase, and left
the car. At the steps she turned to
give the car porter a message.
"Tell Mrs. Marsh-the lady in lower
five," she said, with dollar to quicken
his faculties, "that Miss Weir had to
60 back. Say I will write soon and
explain"
She stood back in the shadow Of
the station for few seconds. The linn
ited's stop was brief. When the red
lights went drumming down the track,
she took up her suitcase and walked
uptown to the hotel where she had tar
ried overnight once before.
The clerk showed her to q room.
She threw her suitcase on the bed and
turned the key in the lock. Then she
went over. and, throwing up the win
dow to its greatest height, sat down
and looked steadily toward the north.

aloud. "Of course I can find him!

her finger tips out toward the dark
and silent North, pulled down the
shade, and went quietly to bed.
