manded of the donkey-driver.
The man mouthed his quid, spat
copiously, wiped his mouth with the
back of his hand, and pointed. up
at his shanty," he made answer, and
grinned at Bryce knowingly.
Up through the camps single short
street, flanked on each side with the
woodsmen's shanties, Bryce went. At
the most pretentious shanty on the
street Bryce turned in. He had never
seen it before, but he knew it to be
the woods-boss's home, for unlike its
neighbOrs the house was painted with
the coarse red paint that is used on
bOx-cars, while fence, made of fancy
pointed pickets painted white, inclosed
tiny garden in front of the house.
AS Bryce came through the gate, a
young girl rose from where she knelt

A look of fright crept into the girls
eyes. "Are you-Bryce Cardigan?"
she faltered, and looked at him more
closely. "Yes, you're Mr.. Bryce. You've
changed-but then it's six years since
We saw you last, Mr.. Bryce"
He came toward her with outstretch-
ed hand. "And you were a little girl
when l saw you last. Now-you're a
woman" She grasped his hand with
the frank heartiness of a man.

him.
"Stand right where you are until
have looked at you," he commanded
and backed off few feet, the better
| to contemplate her.
He saw girl slightly above medium
height, tanned, robust. simply gowned
in a gingham dress. Her hands were
soiled from her recent labors in the
pansy-bed, and her shoes were heavy
and coarse; yet neither hands nor feei
were large or ungraceful. Her head
was well formed; her hair, jet blacH
and of unusual lustre and abundance
was parted in the middle and held iI
an old-fashiOned coil at the nape Of
neck the beauty of which was re
yealed by the low cut of her simple
frock. Her nose was patrician, hel
face oval; her lips, full and red, were
slightly parted In the adorable Cupid
bow which is the inevitable heritage O
short upper lip; her teeth wer'

breast was rising and falling swiftly

voice whispered to him that the loss
was not irreparable-whereat he
swung his axe as bandmaster swings

She shook her head, blushing pleas

"What? Not married. Why, what

eligible young fellows hereabouts?"
"There aren't any eligible young fel-
