Pierre Lays His Hand on a Heart.


Maud Upper was the first girl Of
her own age that Joan had ever seen.
Joan went in terror Of her and Maud
knew this and enjoyed her ascend
ancy over an untamed creature twice
her size There was the crack of
lion-tamer's whip In the tone OF her
instructions. That was after a day
or two At first Maud had been hor-
ribly afraid of Joan. "A wild thing
like her, livin' off there in the hills
with that man; why, ma, there's no
tellin' what she might be doin' to me-"
"She won't hurt ye," laughed Mrs
Upper, who had lived In the wilds
herself, having been a frontierman's
wife before the days even of this from
tier town and having married the
hotel-keeper as a second venture. She
knew that civilization-this rude place
being civilization to Joan-would COW
the girl, and she knew that Maud's
self-assertive buoyancy would brighten
the soul Of her. Maud was large
hipped, high-bosomed, with a small,
round waist much compressed. She
taught Joan impatiently and laughed
loudly but not unkindIy at her ways.
Gee, she's awkward, amt sheY
she would say to the men trail like
a bull moose !"
The men grinned, but their eyes fol-
lowed Joan's movements. AS a mat.

Through her clumsy clothes, the heavi-
ness of her early youth, In spite of
all the letters of her ignorance, her
wonderful long bones and her wonder

she never hurried. At first this APP

would scream above the din Of the
rough meals, but soon she found that

around the stove. and asked at the
desk,, where Mrs Upper sat. II she
could get a Job. Mrs. Upper and the
ioungers stared. for there were few

training for water life-saving showed
an enrolment of over 10000 volun-

"Well, what shall we do about itT'
asked the colonel.
Jim was silent. Here was a matter
on which he really had no ideas ex-
cept the broad and general one that
truth Is mighty and shall prevail-but
that the speed of Its forward march Is
problematical.
