Next day brought Kilmeny the Of

In turn by each of the men. Only two
meals u day were eaten in camp. so
That he had several hours of leisure
after the breakfast things were
cleared away.
The arrival of the party at the
q brought back to him wildly
some chapters of his life that had
long beer buried. His father, ArchI-
bald kilmeny, had married the daugh-
ter or a small cattleman some years
after he had come to Colorado. Though
n had died while he was a child,
Jack still held warmly In his heart
some Vivid memories Of the passionate
woman who had been his
mother.
She had been a belle In the COW
country, charming In her way, bearti-
ful to the day of her death, but with
out education or restraint. Her hus-
band had made the mistake of taking
her back to Ireland on a visit to his
people. The result had been unfor-
eanate. She was unconquerably pro-
vincial. entirely democratic, as uncul-
tured as her native columblne. More
over, her temper was Of the whirl-
wind variety. The staid life Of the
old country. with Its well-ordered dis
dnctions Of class and rutted conyen-
lions. did not suit her at all. All ira
tic which she could not under.
stand the young wife scofred openly.
Before she left. yelled dislike became
almost open war. The visit had never
been repeated, nor. indeed, had she
ever been invited again. This she had
bitterly resented and she had instilled
into Jack the a%ntagonism she herself
felt. When he was eight years old
Jacks father had Insisted on taking
him back to meet his relatives. I'm
medlately upon his return the young
ster's mother had set about undermin-
ing any fondness he might have felt
for his British kindred. Three years
later she had died.
She had been a doting mother, with
fierce gusts of passionate alteration
FOR her boy. Jack remembered these
after he forgot hei less amiable quail
ties. He had grown up with an un-
reasonable feeling Of dislike toward
those of his fathers family who. had
called to get along with her. Some In
stinct of loyalty which he could hard
ly define set him unconsclously in an
tagonism to his cousins at the Lodge.
He had decided not to make himself

She thought of him as a handsome

impossible for her to deny a certain

not let his eyes rest often upon her,
but the subtle instinct of her sex old
her that he was very much taken with
