CHAPTER XVII.
A Letter From Bill.

All through the long night she lay
awake, struggling with the incredible
fact that Bill had left her; trying to
absolve herself from blame; f1aring up
in anger ut his unyielding attitude,
even while she IA sorely conscious
that she herself had been %stubbornly
unyielding. If he had truly loved her,
she reiterated, he would never have
made it an issue between them. But
that was like a man-to insist on his
own desires being made paramount;
to blunder on headong, no matter
what antagonisms he aroused. And
he was completely in the wrong, she
reasserted.
She recapitulated it all. Through
the winter he had consistently with
drawn into his shell. For her friends
and for most Of her pleasures he had
ut best exhibited only tolerance. And
he had ended by outraging both them
and her, and on top Of that demanded
that she turn her back at twenty-four
hours notice, or Granville and all its
associations and follow him into a will
derness that she dreaded. She had
full right to her resentment. AS his
PARTNER in the CLANCY enterprise Of
marriage were not her feelings and de-
sfres entitled to equal consideration?
He had assumed the role Of dictator.
And she had revolted. That was all.
She was justified.
Eventually she slept. At ten o'clock,
h~eavy-eyed, suffering an intolerable
headache. she rose and dressed.
Beside her plate lay a thick letter
addressed in Bits handwriting. She
drank her coffee and went back to the
bedroom before she opened the en-
velope. BY the postmark she saw
that IT had been mailed on Il train.
Dear Girl: l have caught my
breath, so TO speak. but | doubt If eve

while, perhaps, it was not what they
would call good form for me to lose
my temper and go at them with my
fists, I was fighting mad when I thor
oughly sensed their dirty project. Any
way, it helped bring them to time.
When you take a man of that type and
cuff him around with your two hands
he's apt to listen serious to what you
say. And they listened when 1 told
them in dead earnest next day that
Whitley Lewis and his partners must
have what vas due them, or I'd wreck
the bunch of them if it took ten years
and every dollar 1 had to do it.. And
l could have put them on the tramp,

gers in where they couldn't stand litt-
cation. I'm sure Of that-or they

l couldn't restrain them from that, be-
ing a hopeless minority Of one Their
chief object, however, was to let two
or three friends in IN the ground floor
Of a good thing; also, they wanted
each a good bundle of that stock while
1t was cheap-figuring that with the
prospects l had opened up it would
sell high. So they had it on the mar
ket, and in addition had everything
framed up to reorganize with a capt.
talization Of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. This all cut and
dried before l got there. Now, as it
originally stood, the five of us would
each have made a small fortune on
these Klappan claims. They're good.
But with a quarter Of q million in out
standing stock-well, 1t would be all
right for the fellow with a big block.
But you can see where ! would get
off with a ffve-thousand-dollar inter-
est. To be sure, a certain proportion
Of the money derived from the sale Of
this stock should be mine. But it goes
into the treasury, and they had it ar
ranged to keep it In the treasury, as a
fund for operations, with them doing
the operating. They had already indi-
Gated their bent by voting an annual
stipend Of ten thousand and six thou
sand dollars to Lorimer and Brooks
as president and secretary respective

managers wage of a mere five thou
sand Il year-after / got on the ground
and began to get my back up.
"But they capped the climax with
what I must cold-bloodedly character
ize as the baldest attempt at a dirty
fraud 1 ever encountered. And they
had the gall to try and make me a
party to it. To make this clear you
must understand that I, IN behalf Of
the company and acting as the COM
pany's agent, grubstaked Whitley Lewis
and four others to go in and stake
those claims. l was empowered to
arrange with these five men that if the
claims made q decent showing each
should receive five thousand dollars in
stock for assigning their claims to the
company, and should have employment
at top wages while the claims were
operated.
"They surely earned it. You know
what the North is in the dead of Win

q hell of frost and now and staked
the claims. If ave men were entitled
to what was due them, they were.

taking out weekly as much gold as
they were to get for their full share.
They'd given their word, and they
were white men. They took me for a
white mar also. They took my word
that they would get what was coming
to them, and gave me in the company's
name clear title to every claim. I put
hose titles on record in Hazelton, and
came home.
"Lorimer and Brooks deliberately
proposed to withhold that stock, to de-
fraud these men, to steal-oh, I can't
find words strong enough. Brooks
said to me, with a grin: The prop.
erty's in the c%ompany's name-let the
roughnecks sweat a while. They've
got no comeback, anyway
"That was when l smashed him. Do
you blame me? I'd taken over those
fellows claims in good faith. Could
l go back there and face those men and
say: Boys, the company's got your
claims, and they won't pay for Them

real, this parting in hot anger, so mis-
erably unnecessary. But when I stop
to sum it up again, I see no use in
another appeal. I could come back
yes. Only the certain knowledge that
giving In like that would send us spin
ming once more in a vicious circle pre-
vents me. I didn't believe it possible
that we could get SO far apart. Nor
that a succession Of little things could
cut SO weighty q figure in our lives.
And perhaps you are very sore and

Soon after the entrance of the
United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to a most
tragic condition and In the summer
of 1917, the American Red Cross des-
patched its first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over large area.
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumania had to
deal. Here is seen an oxcart used
by the Red Cross to carry its relief
supplies up into the mountains.
