l am sick of all that, too, and 1 could

you have work to do. That is much the
secret Of your happiness Is 1t not?
Tell me. Tell me something of what it
means to your"
"Work, Of course, has much to do
with any ones happiness" replied
Madeline. "No one can be happy who
has no work. AS regards myself-for
the rest l can hardly tell you. have
never tried to put it in words. Frank
ly, 1 believe, If I had not had money
that 1 could not have found such con-
tentment here. That Is not In any
sense a judgment against the West.
But if / had been poor could not

Suddenly she turned to him and
said, "Boyd, If 1 married you would
you be willing-glad to spend the rest
of your life here in the West?"
Majesty" he exclaimed. There
was amaze in the voice usually so even
and well modulated-amaze in the
handsome face usually so Indifferent.
Her question had startled him. She
saw him look down the iron-gray Cliffs
over the barren slopes and cedared
ridges, beyond the cactus-covered foot
hills to the grim and CHASTITY desert.
Just then, with it's red wells of sunlit
dust-clouds, it's illimitable waste Of
ruined and upheaved earth, it was a
sinister spectacle.
"No," he replied, with tingle Of
shame in his cheek.
Madeline said no more, nor did he
speak She was spared the pain Of re-
fusing him, and she imagined he would
never ask her again. There was both
relief and regret in the conviction.
1t was impossible not to like Boyd
Harvey. He was handsome, young,
rich, we'll born, pleasant, cultivated
he was all that made a gentleman Of
his class. He was considered a very
desirable and eligible young man.
Madeline admitted all this.
Then she thought Of things that
were perhaps exclusively her own
strange ideas. Boyd Harvey's white
skin did not tan even in this south
western sun and wind. His hands
were whittier than her own, and as soft.
They were proof that he never
worked. His frame was tall, graceful,
elegant. 1t did not bear evidence of
ruggedness. He had never INDUCED in
a sport more strenuous than yachting.
He hated effort and activity. He rode
horseback very little disliked any but
moderate motoring, spent much time
in Newport and Europe, never walked
when he could help it, and had no am
bition unless it were to pass the days
pleasantly. If he ever had any sons
they would be like him, only a genera
tion more toward the inevitable extinc-
tlOn or MS race.
Madeline returned to camp in just
the mood to make a sharp, deciding
contrast. 1t happened-fatefully, per-
haps-that the first man she saw was
Stewart. Stewart was a combination
Of fire, strength, and action. These at
tributes seemed to cling about him.
There was something vital and COM
pelling in his presence. In him Made
line saw the strength of his forefa-
theirs unimpaired. The life In him was
marvelously significant.
Madeline Hammond compared the
man Of the East with the man Of the
West; and that comparison was the
last parting regret for her old stand
ards

CHAPTER XIV
The Crags.


Glad indeed was Madeline to be lift
ed off her horse beside a roaring fire
to see steaming pots upon red-hot
Goals. Except about her shoulders,
which had been protected by the slick
er, she was wringing wet. The Mexf-
can women came quickly to help her
change in tent nearby; but Made
line preferred for the moment to warm
her numb feet and hands and to watch
the spectacle Of her arriving friends.
warm clothes-hot drinks and grub
warm blankets" rang out Stewarts
sharp order.
Then, with Florence helping the
Mexican women, it was not long until
Madeline and the feminine side Of the
party were comfortable, except for the
WEAKNESS and aches that only rest and
sleep could alleviate.
Neither fatigue nor pains, however.
nor the strangeness of being packed
sardinelike under canvas, nor the
hOwls of coyotes, kept Madeline's
guests from stretching out with long,
grateful sighs, and one by one drop
ping into deep slumber. Madeline
whispered a little to Florence, and
laughed with her once or twice, and
then the light Pickering on the canvas
faded and her eyelids closed. Dark
ness and roar Of camp life, low voices
of men, thump Of horses hoofs, coyote
serenade, the sense Of warmth and
sweet rest-all drifted away.
When she awakened shadows Of
swaying branches moved on the sunlit
canvas above her. Slow, regular breath
ing attested to the deep slumbers of
her tent comrades. She observed pres
emily that Florence was missing from
the number. Madeline rose and peeped
out between the flaps.
An exquisitely beautiful scene sur
prised and enthralled, her gaze. Eager
to get out where she could enjoy an
unrestricted view, she searched for
her pack, found 1t in corner, and
then hurriedly. and quietly dressed.

StillweIl tells me there are many

Think of that! My income, instead Of
being wasted, is mostly saved. think
I hope / am useful. OF course my
ranch and range are real, my cowboys
are typical. If I were to tell you how

story Of how Madeline Hammond sees
the West They are true to the West.
1t is I who am strange, and what
feel for them may be strange, too.
Edith, hold to your own impressions"
"But, Majesty my impressions have
changed At first did not like the
wind, the dust, the sun. the endless
open stretches. But now do like
them. Where once I saw only terrible
wastes Of barren ground now I see
beauty and something noble. Then, at
first, your cowboys struck me as dirty,
rough, loud, crude, savage-all that
was primitive. But l was wrong.
and this desert dust Is clean. They
are still rough, loud, crude, and savage
In my eyes, but with difference. They
are natural men. They are little chill
dren. Monty Price is one of natures
noblemen. The hard thing Is to dis
cover it. All his hideous person, all
his actions and speech, are masks OF
his real nature. Nels is a Joy, sim
pie, sweet, kindly, quiet man whom
some woman should have loved. What
would love have meant to him! He
told me that no. woman ever loved him
except his mother, and he lost her
when he was ten. Every man ought to

Nels. Somehow his gun record does
not impress me. / never could believe
man, Stewart. He is a cowboy, his
work and life the same as the others.
But he has education and most of the
graces we are in the habit of saying
make gentleman. Stewart Is
strange fellow, just like this strange
admire him. SO, you see, my impress
sions are developing with my stay out
here like the country, like the men.
One reason l want to go home soon
Is because l am discOntented enough
at home now, without falling in love
with the West, for, of course, Majesty,
I would. 1 could not live out here.
And that brings me to my point. Ad-
mitting all the beauty and charm and
wholesomeness and good Of this won
derful country, still it is no place for
you, Madeline Hammond. You have
your position, your wealth, your name,
your family. You must marry. You
must have children. You must not
give up all that for quixotic life in
wilderness"
II am convinced, Edith, that shall
live here all the rest of my life."
ooh, Majesty I hate to preach this
way. But I promised your mother l
would talk to you. And the truth Is l
hate-I hate what I'm saying. envy
you your courage and wisdom. l know
you have refused to marry Boyd Har-
vey. could see that In his face.
believe you will refuse Castleton.
Whom will you marry? What chance
is there for a woman of your position
to mary out here? What In the world
will become of you?"
"Quien sabe?" replied Madeline,
with smile that was almost sad.
Not so many hours after this con-
versation with Edith Madeline sat with
Boyd Harvey upon the grassy promon-
tory overlooking the west, and she
listened once again to his suave court
