Billy Louise bit her lips until they

out Of her heart nor the rebellion
against the hurt that life had given
her. II she could only have burned
memory when she burned that clip
ping! She could still believe and be
happy If only she could forget the
things 1t said.
Phoebe called her after a long while
had passed. Billy Louise bathed her
face in the cold water of the Wolverine,
used her handkerchief for a towel and
went back to take up the duties life
had laid upon her. The doctors team
was hitched to the light buggy he
drove, and the doctor was standing In
the doorway with his square medicine
cas- in his hand waiting to give her q
few final directions before he left.
He was like so many doctOrs-he
seemed to be afraid to tell the whole
truth about his patient. He stuck to
evasive optimism and then neutralized

brief, stolid sentences Of the later de-
velopments and gave him a meal and
offered him a bed, which he declined.
When the suspense became madden

the Wolverine for news. And the news
was monotonously scant. Phoebe could
read and write after a fashion. and
Billy Louise sent her a letter now and

she could not leave mOmmie, she said.
Ward gathered that she would not.
Once when he was at the ranch he
wrote a letter to Billy Louise and told
her that he would come to Boise II
there was anything he could do and
begged her to let him know II she
needed any money. Beyond that he
worked and worked and tried to crowd
the l0nesOmeness out Of his days and
the hunger from his dreams with COM
plete bone WEAKNESS. He did not ex-
pect an answer to his letter-at least
he told himself that he did not-but
one day Phoebe gave him a thin little
letter.
Billy Louise did not write much.
She explained that she could only
scribble a line or two while. mommie
slept. Mommie was about the same.
She did not think there was anything
Ward could do, and she thanked him
for Offering to help. There was moth
ing, she said pathetically, that anybody
could do. Even the doctors did not
seem able to do much except tell her
lies and charge her for them. No; she
did not need n money. Thank you
just the same, Ward" That was about
all. 1t did not sound in the least like
Billy Louise.
Ward answered the note then and
there and called her Wilhemina mine,
which was an awkward name to write
over the spelling. But he wanted it
down on paper where she could see it
and remember how it sounded when he
said it. ever if it did look queer. Far,

Billy Louise was not stupid. She
saw through the vagueness of the doc

for her hills that she felt like beating
the doctors with her fists because they
did nothing to make her mommie well

the nurse and her neutral cheerfulness.

stood there talking to some one IN

would have sworn that the man was
doomed. but something held Wards
finger from crOOking on the trigger.
The man had his back turned squarely
toward the gun. Ward waited. The
man did not move. He waited another
minute. and then he opened his lips to
shout. And when his lips parted for
the call that would bring the fellow
facing him Wards tricky brain snap
ped before his eyes the face Of Billy
Louise.
He lowered the gun. he could not
shoot when he knew that the bullet
would split a gulf between himself
and the girl-a gulf that would sep
arate him forever from that future
where stood his air castles.

thumb, slid the gun back into its hOl-

been seen, and SO he crouched behind

had no plan, but his instinct impelled
him to closely watch Buck Olney.

he studied the situation with sowing

Ward would not have hesitated II
second about putting the sheriff on
the trail of Buck. but if the second
man were implicated he could not be-
tray one without betraying the other.
And if the business down there in the
corral were lawful, then he must think
of some other means. At any rate, the
thing to do now was to make sure.
The two in the corral came out and
closed the gate behind them. and the

tracks or covering them up. They
came a little way along the side Of the
bluff, mounted and rode up toward
where the lookout waited. And n of
them rode a dark bay and was slim
and tall and wore a gray hat.
Ward glanced at Rather standing
half asleep with reins dropped to the
ground. He reached out, took the
reins and led the horse farther down

Ward stood up. where he could see
the rim of the bluff over the ledge of

and see who was the lookout. and he
might be seen. For that contingency
he kept his fingers close to his gun.
He heard their scrambling progress.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Sentiment in Great
Britain and France is hardening against
the former Kaiser securing a permanent
place OF refuge In Holland. No Official
statement is forthcoming from the Brit
ish Government on the subject. but the
semi-offlcial opinion Is that It would be
unwise to allow the Kaiser to remain In
such close proximity. to the German
frontier.
1t is suggested that the Allies might
draw up a specific indictment OF the
former Kaiser for one or another of his
crimes against property and
life and demand his extradition along
the usual lines. The Dutch authorities,
Il Is said. could only decline to grant
on the ground that q mon
