"Stewart, look at me-" she asked.

crushed. He dared not show his

cramped posture revealed more than
his features might have shown; 1t be-
trayed the torturing shame of man
Of pride and passion. a man who had
been confronted in his degradation by

"Listen, then" went on Madeline,

CHAPTER ViI-Continued.

Sometimes she thought OF her par
ents. sister, friends, Of how they had
persistently refused to believe she
could or would stay in the West. They
were always asking her to come home.
She wrote that she would return to
her old home some time, OF course, for
visit; and letters such as this
brought returns that amused Made
line sometimes saddened her. Her
fathers business had been such that
he could not leave II for the time re.
quIred for western trip, or else.
according 10 his letter, he would have
come for her. Mrs. Hammond could
not haze been driven to cross the
Hudson river; her un-Amerlcan idea
Of the wilderness westward was that
Indians still chased buffalo on the out
Irts Of Chicago. Madellnes sister
lclen had long been eager to come. as
Eiuch from curiosity, Madeline
thought. as from sisterly regard. And
nt length Madeline concluded that the
proof Of her breaking permanent ties
might better be seen by visiting rela-
tives and friends before she went back
East. With that In mind she invited
Helen to visit her during the summer
and bring as many friends as she
liked.
No slight task indeed was II to over
see the many business details Of Her
Najesty's Rancho and to keep rec
ord of them. Madeline found the
cou,se OF business training upon which
her father had insisted to be lnvalu-
able 70 her now. 1t helped her to as.
simulate and arrunge the practical
details of cattle-raIsIng as put forth
by the blunt Stillwell. She established

superior to that OF California, and.
with abundant water, trees and plants
and gardens flourished and bloomed
in way wonderful to behold. Here
In the farming section of the ranch
Madeline found employment for the

help and sympathy and work. The
children were wretched no more. and
many that had been blind could now
see, and Madeline had become to them
new and blessed Virgin.
Madeline looked abroad over these
lands and llkened the change In them
and those who lived by them to the
change In her heart. II may have been
fancy. but the sun seemed to he
brighter. the sky bluer, the wind
sweeter. Certain II was that the deep
green OF grass and garden was not
fancy, nor the white and pink Of bios.
som, nor the blaze and perfume of
flower. nor the sheen Of lake and the
duttering Of newborn leaves. Where
there had been monotonous gray there
was now vivid and changing color.
Formerly there had been silence both
day and night; now during the sunny
hours there was music The whistle
Of p'nncing stations peaed In from
the grassy ridges. Innumerable birds
had come and. like the northwaru-
journeying ducks, they had tarrled to
stay. The song OF meadow.lark and
blackbird and robin. familiar to Made
line from childhood, mingled with the
new and strange heartthrobbIng song
Of the mocklng-blrd and the piercing
blast Of the desert eagle and the mel
sncholy moan Of the turtle-dove.

To the Editor: desire to core, all newspapers that are ill advised on the location of the new oil fields. It is tiresome to read about the Strike at Cold Bay" l want you to distinct ly understand we are 2S miles from Cold Bay" There are 16 miles of marsh land, a fairly good beach and room enough for five or six townsites, but the only inhabitants are three old emaciated seagulls. They are so tired and feeble that the fish bones stick out under their wind. It puts me in mind of the vultures of the Arizona desert who are looking for the pros pector to feed you. We know of no such place as "Cold Bay" l am no weaver of dreams; but this is fact.
