there was nothing definite for it to feed

thoughts that never entered Janet's head
and meanings that never hid behind the
clear speech and frank glances hat
passed between her and Verne, Hickey
brooded. He was quick to note the re-
blossoming OF the young woma under
the foreman's friendly attentions, and
he shut his eyes to her puzzled and in
creasing anxiety over his own recurrent
moods OF sullenness and unexplained fits
of temper.
But he could think OF no solution. To
quarrel with Verne and take himself and
Janet of would mean a long, uncertain
search for as good a Job and as COM
Portable quarters as he now had; while
to demand the foreman's transfer would
only bring a laugh from Award, the COM
pany's manager.
Arriving at the south gate, where the
days work was to begin-a roundup OF
the pasture and the cutting out OF four
hundred dry lows for shipment-the two
men saw Award coming across Pasture

who wants to come here has his wife and

Here you go. snarling around,

judgments, poisoning yourself
with hideous conclusions, and
what grounds have you for it?
None at all. You really don't
know anything or understand any

YOU can't prove that everything is
