IT was a land Of splintered peaks,
of deep. dry gorges, Of barren
mesas burnt by the suns of million
torrid summers. The normal condi-
ton Of it was warfare. Life here had

lons rind. Only the fit survived.
Around the campfire the drivers Of
the trail herd squatted on their heels
or lay sprawled at indolent ease. The
glow Of the leaping flames from the
twisted mesquite lii their lean faces,
tanned TO bronzed health by the bea.
Of an untempered sun and the sweep
u parehed winds.
Out Of the soft shadows Of the
summer night a boy moved from the
remuda toward the campfire. He
was a lean, sandy-haired young fel-
low, his figure still lank and untitled.
As he sat down on the wagon tongue
the stringiness Of his appearance be-
came noticeable.
A young man waved hand to-
ward him by way Of introduction.

The temper of Sanders began to

Sabre was called up in his Derby
Glass within eight weeks of his en-
rollment-at the end of February,
1916. He was nearly two years i'll
the war; but his ultimate encounter
with life awaited him. and vas met,
at Penny Green. 1t might have been
reached precisely as it was reached
without agency OF the war, certain
ly without participation in it. OF
the interval only those few events
ultimately mattered which had on
nection with his life at home. They
seemed in the night of the war tran
silent as falling stars: they proved
themselves lodestars of his destiny.
He first went to France, in n of
the long string of Service battalions
that had sprung out of the Pinks. il
the June following his enlistment.
Mabel had decided to get a paid

some ways-and she had arranged

aloud. by Jove, that's good. L am

Efie, That's splendid" He some
how liked immensely the idea OF
imagining Bright Efie about the
house. He thought. Il wish she
could have been in long ago, when
I was there. 1t would have made a
difference. Someone between us.
We used to work on one a%nother's
nerves. Pretty little Efhe. Like a
jolly little sister"
He was writing regularly to Mona
and regularly hearing from her. He
never could quite make out where
she was, addressing her only to her
symbol in the Field p~ostofhce. She
was car driving and working very
long hours. There was n letter
that he never posted but of the ex-
istence of which he permitted him
self to tell her. 81 carry it about

changed to that enormous affection
and admiration for his son which
Sabre well remembered on the occa-
sion of Harold joining up. His face
shone, his mouth trembled with low
ing pride at what Harold had been
through and what he had done. And
he was such a good boy-wrote

once when he was sick in hospital

boy he was"

His leave drew on. He spent his
time in long walks alone and, when
ever they were possible. in the old
evenings with Mr.. Fargus. In Mabel's
absence he and Fife were much
thrown together. Mabel frequently
came upon them thus together. and
when she did she had a mannerisn.
hat somehow seemed to suggest
Catching them together. And
sometimes she used that expression.

Sabre did not know how over
wrought he was until he was at
home again and come to Mabel seat
ed at breakfast.
Mabel looked up from her break

This was the beginning OF it. He
felt himself digging his nails into

He had sat down and was about
to pour himself out some tea. He
put down the teapot and got up.
Look here, do me a favor. They're
dead, both of them. Don't say any
thing more about them. Don't men,
ton the subject again. For Gods
AXE"
He went out OF the house and got
his bicycle and set out for the office.
At the top of the Green he passed
young Pinnock, the son of Pinnock's
Stores. Some patch of color about
young Pinnock caught his eye. The
color was a vivid red crown on d
khaki brassard on the young mans
arm. The badge of the recruits en-
rolled under the Derby enlistment
scheme. He dismounted. "Hullo,
Pinnock. How on earth did you get
hat armlet? / thought you'd been
rejected about forty times?"
Young Pinnock grinned hugely.

Early in December he wrote to
Mabel:

happened. I'm coming homei I've
suddenly been told that I'm n OF

been selected to go home to an
officer Cadet battalion for n COM
mission. Don't jump to the conclu-
sion that I'm the Pride of the Regi-
ment or anything like that. It's
simply due to two things: one that
this is not the kind of battalion with
many men who would think of TAX
ing commissions; the other that
both my platoon officer and the cap
tain OF my company happen to be
Old Tiburians and. as I've told you,
have often been rather decent to me.

He made rather a boisserous entry
into the house on his arrival, arriv-
ing in the morning before breakfast.
He entered the hall just after eight
O'Clock and announced himself with
a loud, "Hullo, everybody" and
thumped the butt of his rifle on h
floor. An enormous crash in the
kitchen and a shrek of ITS the

He broke off. "Hullo, Mabel! Hull

took her hand.

for the heritage we enjoy-and what
virtues were practiced by them to
make that payment possible and TO
complete their purchase.

lie was austere with an austerity that
some of his contemporaries termed ar
rcgance He was dignifed with dig
nifty that would Ill fit the manners Of
tie hastings and appeals for votes to-
day. He believed in the leadership of
those whose attainments qualified
them for leadership. He thought that
education and experience in handling
large private affairs were useful to
men intrusted with large public af-
fairs.
Under the control Of an iron will he
had violent passions, which now and
again famed out at eowardlce or
demagoguerg or corruption.
lie possessed what was then the
largest private fortune in the thirteen
colonies. He traced his blood for CEN
