Warren rode regretfully back to his
claim on Mill creek he was not at all
the morose Ward Warren who had
ridden down to the Wolverine that
stormy night in January. The distrust
had left his eyes, and that guarded re-
moteness was gone from his manner.
He thought and he planned as other
men thought and planned and looked
into the future eagerly and dreamed
dreams Of his own, dreams that brought
the hidden smile often to his lips and
his eyes.
Still, the thing those dreams were
built upon was yet locked tight in his
heart, and not even Billy Louise, whose
instinct was so keen and so sure in all
things else, knew anything of them or
Of the bright hued hope they were built
upon.

his rating was unusually high, but he
was little shy on military require

They would probably be standing

saved the day by whispering to him:

ditch I'm putin in. You jest do what
you've mind to- She picked up the
shovel and went off down the jungly
path, herself the ugliest object in the
cove, where she had created so much
beauty.
Billy Louise sat down on the rock
where Marthy had rested after digging
the grave and, with her chin in her two
cupped palms, stared out across the
river at the heaped bluffs and down at
the pink and white patch of fruit trees.
She was trying, as the young will al
ways try, to solve the riddle of life, and
she was baffled and unhappy because
she could not find any answer at all
that pleased both her ideals and her
reason. And then she heard mans
voice lifted up in riotous song and she
turned her head toward the opening OF
the gorge and listened, her eyes bright
ening while she waited.
Ward came into sight through the lit
tie meadow, riding slowly, with both
hands clasped over the horn Of the sad
die, his hat tilted back on his head and
his whole attitude one Of absolute con-
tent with life. He saw Billy Louise
almost as soon as she glimpsed him,
and she had been watching that bit of
road quite closely. He tipped the reins
to one side and turned from the trail to
ride straight up the slope to where she
was.
Billy Louise, with a self reproachful
glance at the grave, ran down the slope
to meet him-an unexpected welcome,
which made Wards heart leap in his
chest
ooh, Ward, for heavens sake, don't
be singing that come-all-ye at the top
Of your voice, like that. Don't you.
.'Now I was given to understand that
you liked that same come-all-ye. Have
you been educating your musical taste
in the last week, Miss William Louise"
Ward stopped his horse before her and
with his hands still clasped over the
saddle horn looked down at her with
that hidden smile-and something else.
ssNo, haven't. / don't have to edu-
cate myself to the point where know
the Chisholm Trail isn't proper kind
I'll C1d1 uy AAAAS w dAO w dlACA" LILY
Louise glanced over her shoulder and
lowered her voice instinctively, as we
all do when death has come close and
stopped. "Jase died last night; that's
his grave up there. Isn't it perfectly
pitiful? Poor old Marthy was here all
solitary alone with him. Awkward,
she dug that grave her ownself and
took him up and buried him! And,
Ward, she-she wheeled him up in the
-wheelbarrow She had to, of course.
She couldn't carry him. But isn't it
awful?" Her hands were up, patting
and smoothing the neck of his horse,
and her face was bent to hide the tears
that stood in her eyes and the culver
of her mouth.
Several minutes they stood there
talking, while Billy Louise patted the
horse absently, and Ward looked down
at her and did not miss one little light
or shadow in her face.

Louise was beginning to look for in
his face.
Now that matters had approached

dieting the action. She gave him a
sidelong glance which he was least
prepared to Withstand, though, in JUS

ly unconscious of it's general effective

"also to pitchfork and an ak. il you

His eyes went to her and steadied
there with the intent expression in
them. Thanks. Cut out the wages
and Til take the offer just as it
stands" he told her and pulled his hat
farther down on his head. shes go
ing to be one stormy night, lay-dees,"
he added in quite another tone on his
way to the door, "Five O'clock by the
town clock, and al-ll's WE'LL" This
last in still another tone as he pushed
out against the swooping wind and
pulled the door shut with a slam.
They heard him whistling shrill, roll
licking air on his way to the creek
at least it sounded rollicking the way
he whistled it,
That's The Old Chisholm Trail he's
whistling," Billy Louise observed un-
der her breath, smiling reminiscently,
1.-THE very song I used to pretend he
always sang when he came down the
canyon to rescue me. But Of course /
knew all the time he's cowboy It
said So
The whistling broke, and he began
to sing at the top of clear. strong
lunged voice an old, old trail song
beloved of punchers the West over.
what did you say, Billy Louise?
I'm sure it's comfort to have him
here, and you see he was glad and
willing"
But Billy Louise was holding the
door open half an inch, listening and
slipping back into the child world
wherein Ward Warren came singing
down the canyon to rescue her. The
words came gustily from the creek
down the slope:
s'No chaps no slicker, and a-pourin' down
rain.
And swear by the Lord I'll never night

erything inside! can feel terrible
draft on my feet and ankles, and you

So Billy Louise closed the door and
laid another alder root on the Goals in
the fireplace the while her mind was
given over to dreamy speculations, and
the words of that old trail song ran on
in her memory, though she could no
longer hear him singing. Her mother
talked on about Peter and the storm
and this man who had ridden straight
from the land Of day dreams to her
door, but the girl was not listening.
"Now, amt you relieved yourself
that he's going to stay?'
Billy Louise, kneeling on the hearth
and staring abstractedly into the fire,
came back with jerk to reality. The
little smile that had been in her eyes
