CHAPTER ..
The Beck OF Fortune.

The last congratulations had been
offered; the last good wishes. some
what mixed with tears. had been ex-
pressed. The bride. glowing in the
happy consciousness OF her own beau
ty, and deified by the great tenderness
that enveloped her new estate like a
golden mist. said her farewells with
steady voice and undrooping eyes.
II had been busy winter for John
Harris, and this. although the con-
summation OF his great desire. was
but the threshold 10 new activities and
new outlets for his intense energies.
Since the face and form OF Mary Allan
had first enraptured him In his little
backwoods school district. a vast am
billion had possessed his soul, and to-
day, which had seemed 20 be its end,
he now knew TO he but its beginning.
The ready consent OF his betrothed to
share his life in the unknown wilder
ness between the Red river and the
Rocky mountains had been tide
which, taken at its flood. might well
lead him on 10 fortune. At the con-
clusion of his fall term he had re-
signed his position as teacher, and
with his small savings had set about
accumulating equipment essential to
the homesteader. Because his effects
were not enough TO fll a car he had
doubled up" with Tom Morrison. a
fine farmer whose worldly success had
been somewhat less than his deserts,
and who bravely hoped TO mend his
broken fortunes where land might be
had for the taking.
SO John Harris and his bride took
the passenger train from her city
home. while their goods and chattels,
save for their personal baggage. rum
bled ON In box-car or crowded stol-
Idly into congested side-tracks as the
exigencies OF traffic required.
At junction point they were trans
ferred from the regular passenger SER
vice TO an immigrant train.
One or two of the passengers had
already made the trip to Manitoba,

called a CHEEKY "Ar ready l". and the
party at once proceeded to get under
way.
Harris thoughts were on his team,
on the two cows trudging behind, and
on the multiplicity Of arrangements
which his new life would present for
decision and settlement. But his wife
gazed silently out over the ocean Of
snow. The rays Of the sun fell CRATE

what wan with her long journey. But
the sun went down, and the western
sky, cioudless and measureless, faded

was her first sight Of the prairie, and
strange mixture Of emotions, Of
awe, and loneliness, and a certain in
difference TO personal consequences,
welled up within her. Once or twice
she thought Of home-a home 80 far

other planet. But she would not let
her mind dwell on II for long. She

McCrae. ON account of his knowledge
OF the town and Of the needs of the
journey, was chosen TO secure the sup
plies.
Each settlers sleigh carried that
which seemed most Indispensable.
First came the settlers family, which,
large or small. was crowded into the
deep box. McCrae made them pack

as thlckly as they could be placed.
More robes and blankets were laid
on top. and sacks stuffed very full of
hay served the double purpose Of cush-
ioning their backs and conveying fod-
der for the animals.
Morrison came up to Harris sleigh,
and gave 1t an approving inspection.
"You will all be fine" he said, "and

lower voice. "McCrae tells me If this
