sun hanging low, she lost her absolute
certainty of east and west, north and
south.
She blundered on, not admitting to
herself the possibility of being unable
to find Cariboo Meadows. AS best she
could, and to the best of her belief,
she held in a straight line for the town.
But she walked far enough to have
overrun it, and was yet upon unfamil-
lar ground.
F The shadows deepened until she
trfpped over roots and stones, and
snagged her hair and clothing on
branches she could not see in time to
fend off. AS a last resort, she turned
straight for the light patch still show
ing in the northwest, hoping thus to
cross the wagon road that ran from
Soda Creek to the Meadows-it lay
west. and she had gone northeast from
town. And as she hurried, fear be-
gan to tug at her that she had passed
the Meadows unknowingiy.
Presently 1t was dark, and darkness
in the woods is the darkness of-the
pit Itself. She found & fallen tree, an
climbed on it to rest and think. After
what seemed an age she fancied she
saw a gleam far distant in the timber
She watched the spot fxedly, and
thought she saw the faint reelection of
Il light. That heartened her. She ad-
vanced toward it, hoping that it might
be the CLEAN of a ranch window. Her
progress was slow. She blundered
over the litter of forest floor, trip
ping over unseen obstacles. But ten
minutes established beyond peradven-
ture the fact that 1t was indeed light
She kept on. The wavering gleam
came from behind a thfcket-an open
fire, she saw at length. Beyond the
fire she heard horse sneeze. Within
few yards of the thicket through
which wavered the yellow gleam she
halted, smitten with a sudden panic.
This endured but few seconds All
that she knew or had been told of
frontier men reassured her. She had
found them to d man courteous, awk-
wardly considerate. And she could not
wander about all night.
She moved cautiously. however, to
the edge of the thicket, to point
where she could see the fire. A man
sat bumped over the glowing embers.
whereon sizzled piece of meat. His
head was bent forward, as if he were
listening. Suddenly he looked up. and
she gasped-for the freight showed
the features of Roaring Bill Wagstaff-
She was afraid of him. Why, she did
not know nor stop to reason. She
turned to retreat. In the same instant
Roaring Bill reached to his rifle and
stood up.

ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel
weak. tired, hstless, their blood is thin.
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure.
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such q
fine reputation for fifty years 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root.
Black Cherry bark, extracted with giy-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.

Hazel sat beside the fire, watching in
silence. When he had tucked up the

Hazel declared. But don't think it's

sons. I can just as well walk. for I'm
not in the least afraid" And then she
added as an afterthought: "How do
you happen to know my nameT

He stepped sidewise out of the light
as he spoke Hazel started to run
The crack of n branch underfoot be-

took three steps. He caught her rude
iy by the arm and ranked her bodily
into the freight.

out in rising crescendo of aStonish-

where she came from, and what she
looked like? I guess you don't realize
what old granny gossips we wild West
erners are. Especially where girls are
concerned"
Hazel stiffened a trifie. She did
not like the idea of Cariboo Meadows
dise~~-ing her with such freedom.
WELL" said he, 1--WE won't argue the
point"
He disappeared into the dark again.
This time he came back with the
crown of his hat full of water, which
he sprinkled over the ~dwindling fire.
AS the red glow of the embers faded
in a sputter of steam and ashes. Hazel
realized more profoundly the blackness
of cloudy night in the woods.
Its going to be nasty travelling,
Miss Weir" Roaring Bill spoke at her
elbow. ''Tll walk and lead the packs.
You ride Silk. He's gentle All you
have to do is sit still, and he'll stay
right behind the packs. I'll help you
mount"
If Hazel had still been inclined to in
sist oH walking. she had no chance to
debate the question. Bill took her by
the arm and led her up beside the
horse. 1t was unique experience for
her, this being compelled to do things.
No man had ever issued ultimatums to
her. But here was Roaring Bill wag-
staff telling her how to put her foot in
the stirrup, putting her for the first
time in her life astride a horse, warn
ing her to duck low branches. In his
mind there seemed TO be no question
as to whether or not she would ride.
He had settled that.
TTrrr fn Cho
at the first attempt, and flushed in the
dark at Bnl's amused chuckle. The
next instant he caught her under the
arms, and, with the leverage of her
one foot in the stirrup, set her gently
in the seat of the saddle.
l. you're such n little person. he
said, these stirrups are mile too
long. Put your feet in the leather
above-so. Now play follow your
leader Give Silk his head"
He moved away. ObedieRt to BilFs
command she let the reins dangle. and
Silk followed close behiHd~his mates.
Hazel lurched unsteadily at first. but
presently she caught the swinging mo-
ton and could maintain her balance
without holding stif11y to the saddle
horn.
The night seemed endless as the will
derness-itself. Unused to riding, she
became sore, and then the sore mus
cles stiffened- The chill of the night
mir intensified. She grew cold, her
fingers numb. She did not know where
she was going. and she was asSalled
