THRRE was a time when the

est value for his dollar was justified
in considering car OF second-grade
quality, which was reasonably salts

But with the advent OF Stude-
bakers One-Proht manufacturing
policy, cars OF the finest quality, such
as the Standard Six Sedan illustrated
below, are now only slightly higher
in price than those OF second grade.
This small difference in price is
practically nothing in comparison to
the vast difference in materials and

that a Studebaker gives.

told us, and although there were as yet
no signs of settlement we would see a
great change by fall.
We camped on Fourteen that night
and Jack and were filled with plans
for our shacks and our stable. The
shacks would be up on the prairie level
on opposite sides of the gully, in full
view of each other, and about hun
dred yards apart. The stable would
be in the gully, close to the road al
lowance, sheltered from the winds, and
convenient TO water. The crossing of
the stream was passable, but would
stand improvement.
Early in the morning we started
back, and after three full days in the
democrat we found ourselves one eve
ming swinging up the now strangely
familiar streets of Regina. The raw
prairie city of 1904 already almost
seemed like home. We were like trav-
elers returning from strange lands to
scenes of old recollections. We had
been away just seven days, but in that
time we had swung far out into the
universe; we had drunk of the air of
Gods new creation; we had been
strangely conscious of the company of
our souls.
In the morning we went with Jake
TO the land office; Fourteen and Twen-
ty-two in the township where we had
decided to locate were still open, and
we had no difficulty in filing our claims.
We returned to the stable with Jake
whats the damage?" Jack de-
manded. e.
Jake expectorated profusely, spread
his feet, and scratched his head
"Seven times seven is forty-nine; fifty
dollars fer locatin makes ninety-nine );
l guess she's ninety-nine, boys; gosh
dam it, we might have made it hun
died"
We paid him the ninety-nine and
Jack threw in another. "Well make
it an even hundred" he said "Come
out and see us when you get chance !;
we may have bite of ftied coyote for
YOU
''Oh, I'll be along, I'll be along" said
Jake. "Ill blow out there often"
We shook hands with Jake and
turned away with a strange feeling of
cutting ourselves adrift. We had not
known how quickly an attachment may
grow-on the prairies.

the mark of his careSses. He was a
rival who did not pique my jealousy,
for in his embrace / saw the woman
Jean bursting forth from the bud of
girlhood in a. beauty that kept my
blood .a-tingle.
There was just one note that both
cred me. 1t was sounded day or two
after we left Regina in some covert
remark, which Marjorie made about
jeans Mounted Policeman. 1t seemed
that while Jack and l had been away
land hunting the girls, too, had been
doing little prospecting. Regina was
the headquarters of the mounted po-
lice, and the fine figures of these young
riders of the plains with their scarlet
tunics and trim gold-ribboned riding
trousers and clanking spurs have
turned more heads than jeans before
and since. 1t seems the girls were
walking along a business street when
they saw young policeman coming at
a short distance, and they happened
to stop to admire something in a win
dow while he approached. He also
stopped to admire, and Marjorie said
something-whichJ Jean would not have
done-and a conversation started up,
and the policeman seemed to prefer
Jean, perhaps because she had not
spoken first. At any rate he saw them
safely home, and dallied over his re-
sponsibility and the gate post until
they said they must go in. He called
the next night and wanted to take
them to "show," but they would not
go; at any rate, Jean would not go.
but you went walking with him."
Marjorie challenged.
HE asked you, too," said Jean, her
pretty face, coloring. "You started
with us, and then went back"
Il saw how the land lay, or the wind

ly pursued their destiny at pace of
two and half miles an hour. Their
resignation in adversely was sublime !;
in fact, we soon found it impossible to
invent any adversely to which they
were not resigned.
With such an outfit our progress was
much slower than it had been with
Jake and his "fyin' ants" but it was
an experience of unbounded freedom
and delight. The days held bright and
warm, as 1t was still too early for the
May rains; the nights were cold and
starry, with tang of frost toward
morning; the dawns were rush of
color, and the sunsets indescribable.
At nights we pitched the tent and
made down blankets for the girls, but
Jack and l slept under the stars. We
were roughing it, but every muscle in
our young bodies was vibrating with
the tense new life of the open. When
the girls called us to breakfast of
fried bacon and potatoes and steaming
coffee and milk from our travelling
dairy we were more happy and more
hungry than anything we had ever
known to be possible.
And the girls We saw them grow
ing browner every day, but with their
sunburn they seemed to take on a
strange new charm and competence.
They treated the whole experience as
a high adventure. and after cramped
hours on the top of "the ark" they
would race like wild things across the
prairies, their hair flying in the breeze,
and vagrant wind tossing the skirts
about their shapely limbs.
They had taken the precaution to
provide themselves with sunbonnets,
but the prairie sun is an impetuous
lover, and their cheeks and lips showed
