CHAPTER XVIII

A week later Ethel was in Chicago,
rejoining Barney and Cousin Agnes
and learning that Lucas Cullen, Sen
ion had mysteriously disappeared. He
had not been seen after leaving the
seance.
Ethel and Barney married six
weeks later, at the old house at st.
Florentin.
Bennett and Julia and their mother
came up for the service, after which
Barney and Ethel went west. Agnes.
returned to Chicago soon after the
Cullens went back; and old Sarah
Cullen remained at St. Florentin
alone with the Indians until July
when, after weeks of drought, the
forest fires, which had rested for
many years, swept through the tin
der-dry slashings and second growth
of the peninsula and burned the old
house to the ground. So Sarah re-
treated, perforce, to the home of her
older son to pray and wait.
Throughout the western forests
also drought prevailed that summer.
Here and there the flames sudden
ly burst on two sides of little vii
lagos, all but cutting off escape;
and in one of these places-so the
telegraphed news related-a huge
old man. strange to the settlers but
dominating in manner and plainly
expert in ways of fighting forest fire,
placed himself in command and
turned away the flames from the
town.
He himself worked tirelessly in
the fire lines with ak and spade:
and when word came that two OF
his men were missing and probably
had fallen and were lying overcome
by smoke and gases, close in front
of the flames, he went in and brought

rived to make his fortune in the
forest"
The source of the voice was dis
covered. 1t came from that dark
ened end of the room where Barney
had supposed his mother to be; and,
as people craned, she arose and, hav-
ing cast off her veil and the dark
coat she had worn, she stood a little
apart, dressed all in white.
Mrs. Cullen!-Agnes Mrs. Oh
iver. Cullen!-She's here, That's
she,-Why did she-HOw changed!
How could it be"
1t seemed to Barney that every
one must recognize that she was be-
fore them in the body; yet so strong
had been the spell of the illusion
that few still saw her as a phan-
tom. Lucas Cullen did.
When she spoke on, Barney rec
ognized that her deliberate. careful
words were being recited from re-
hearsals within herself repeated
through years of waiting for such
a moment.
INV father, she said, had aban-
doned farming to take out lumber
cutting from land he had home
steaded and from surrounding sec
tions which he bought. You could
huv timber land cheap in those days;
Int there were men who thought it
foolish to pay the government any
thing at all for the great trees on
the state lands. They bought one
section and set up mill and cut
over the square miles all around

him trouble and to injure a rival !;
for Henry Taylor had built a mill

a little place called Galilee.
Neither would let the other drive

Laylor was burned out; and, as you
have just heard. he was killed.
Lucas Cullen had that fire set !;
he met near Galilee man in his
northumberland sent him to light
shavings upwind from Laylor's mill.
When it was known that Taylor
was killed, Lucas Cullen said that
the man who had set the fire was
the Mormon Drane who wanted to
kill Taylor to get his wife. 1t was
savage, lustful lie of the sort
which excited men like to believe;
they went to get the Mormon and
lynch him; then Lucas Cullen-part-
ly to save Drane from being mur-
dered, let US think, but partly also
to stop suspicion swinging to his
guilty self-made a great play for
justice and for a trial for the Nor

stirred nor replied.

Barney began to make his way
toward her. Now she was stripping
her soul before these gaping people,
not to punish Lucas Cullen, but to
acknowledge him, her son.
