stopped, and hollow-eyed; Bob Scott,
in desperation, had had his hair cut,
and no self-respecting Chippewa squaw
would longer have acknowledged him
IL brother in blood.
How much of this desperation was
weighing on Selwood's heart as he
listened, sober-faced. to Wentworth's
calm proposals? How much did the
claims of such man-fOr-man friend
ship as men never know, and never
can know, outside the wild life of
mountain frontier, pull at his heart
while he was debating what to do
in a crisis of his checkered life?
But one morning there were heard
at the barn more noise. more shout
ing, more profanity, more laughter,
and more arguments-more fights
were in the ofing and more symp-
toms of crude, heartfelt rejoicing
were manifest than had been known
there since before the days of the

began to filter in from Medicine Bend.
and by nightfall the hotel cook was
able to promise Doctor Carpy a re-
spectacle wedding supper as his COM
pliment to the bride and groom. and
to company from which no loyal
friend was excluded.
At nine o'clock in the evening be-
hind the closely curtained windows Of
the dining-room, wedding guests made
merry. Christie. flushed with happi-
ness, had stolen from the table for
q moment to run up to the generals
room with a piece of wedding cake,
when one Of the two Mattresses, COM

the other one and I took their should

Hollow-eyed, he said no more.
Selwood, after a moments silence,
spoke to Scott. 81 guess everybody's

some supper for Haynes and hunt up

Haynes. "Where are theyT

barn in the harness-room - there

didn't know what to do with 'em till

right"
He hesitated. Selwood finished the
sentence. "It's all right" he said, ris-
ing. AS he started toward the dining
room, Pardaloe laid heavy hand on
his shoulder. And he looked down at
him with serious eyes. "John," he said
solemnly, remember what the cards
said Saturday night at Calabasas?
We couldn't figure out just how 1t was
coming, could we? But the old deck
didn't lie; death was In 1t that night,
sure enough, wasn't it?'
Selwood stepped Into the hall, to
find Christie, wide-eyed, at the open
door. She caught his hands. "When
I came downstairs they told me you
had been called from the table. +

where you WERE" she whispered. 81
heard that terrible story! John, what
shall we der"
They called Carpy, and while Par
daloe told the story to the merrymak-
ers, Selwood and Christie told the
doctor.
He vowed with hardened oaths that
Meg Hyde should have the best there
was to be had in Sleepy Cat; and the
three started for the barn - for
Christie would not be denied. 'Let me
go, John" she pleaded. "Im a woman,
she's woman-let me 60"
.
They lay on blanket rudely
spread on the harness-room floor, still
locked in each others arms. Carpy
held lantern to their faces; Selwood
and Christie stood at their side.
''Ther,'s a considerable bruise on
his forehead" said Carpy. speaking
after his brief examination. "When
the water struck him, I guess it
knocked him fiat on the rocks. Well
load 'em into wagon, John. Wen
take 'em up to the hotel"
ITO the hotel, Doc?" echoed Meal
pin, who with the rest had followed
from the hotel and crowded into the
room.
"Where else?" roared Carpy. "Up
to the hotel m into my office"
Christie knelt at Margaret's side.
The men stood by. Her tears
moistened the dark, sand-strewn
hair, as she tried to gather it up and
knot it a little at Margaret Hyde's
neck.
When she rose from her knees, she
buried her cheek on Selwood's breast.
Sat least, john" were her half-whis-
pered words, "she died where she
would have asked to die-in his
arms"
