CHAPTER v
PardaIoe investigates

Selwood found 1t possible to happen
in occasionally at FLYERS, and al
though it meant getting up little
earlier, about at the time FLYERS din
ner was due.
But he could never get chance to
speak to Christie, who rarely loitered
She was accustomed to walk in just at
the close of the auction, and Selwood,
who usually took his place close to
FLYERS dry-goods box, made into a
sort Of a desk, was forced to content
himself with hearing few words, or
little laugh, as she spoke to her
father and walked out again.
But such a moment Selwood thought
worth waiting for. He looked forward
to that moment. At night, under the
glare Of hot lamps that cost a for
tune In coal-oil brought two thousand
miles to burn; in an air reeking with
the fumes of tobacco smoke and
breaking at times into boisterous r.
baldry, Selwood seemed yet some
times to hear, between the monoto-
nous clicking Of chips, the calls Of the
dealers, and whir Of roulette wheels,
the cadence Of girls voice-a Ca
dence to start into life a mans first
dream-one that may find place even
In the heart Of a man already case
hardened.
Chance, which always favors the
persistent, came one day to SelwOod's
aid. Fyler lay In the tent Ill, and that
day Christie had to act as cashier.
Selwood put in an appearance just
before noon and saw Christie in the
receipt Of custom. Big Haynes, per-
spring, was knocking down the mer-
chandise glibly and Selwood wormed
his way among the buyers back to
FLYERS box. Christie, her cape care
fully folded and lying on a shelf be-
hind her and her bonnet held loosely
by the strings, hanging back on her
neck, stood newly revealed to Selwood
1t was not so much that she looked
prettier, but that she presented new
charms-her brown hair was only
like many another woman's brown
hair, but to Selwood it was something
never before suspected in the world !;
her cheeks suffused and her eyes
bright with the excitement of her I'M
accustomed work, were just a repe-
tition Of natures eternal challenge to
mankind.
Not for an instant did the gam
bier hesitate-he who so often staked
a frontier fortune on the turn Of a
card knew too we'll how long It may
be before the same card turns again
to fill hungry hand. He took off his
hat as he walked to her-that alone
set him apart from the other men
and caught her eye in spite of her
resolve not to see man, but only
men, in her enforced servitude.
Father away?' asked Selwood,
meeting her look with the necessary
decision in his own eyes. Christie was

in here a while ago with his overcoat
wanted to cut me up for bear bait.
I hope to God I get out Of this town
before It rains again."
The auctioneer followed the crowd
as they struggled out. At the door
a young girl waited. She had a lunch
basket in her hand. When the store
was emptied, she walked up the two
steps and In. Selwood stood near
FyTer, and he watched the newcomer
with an unrestrained interest until her
eyes fell on his, as she came up. Sell
wood looked then at Fyler. Christie
and Selwood recognized her as the
girl in the wagon at Crawling Stone
wash-set down her basket on the dry
goods box in front Of Fyler. Heres
your dinner. father" she said. EAT
1t now while it's hot"
Selwood tried to think Of something
to say, but could not. And though he
felt he was an interloper, he could
not get started to go. Christie, her
back to him, talked and laughed with
her father. Her voice was completely
new music to Selwoods ears; 1t trans
fixed him. But the moment could not
last. She turned partly and looked
at Selwood. Whatever she may have
had in her mind, he could think Of
but one thing, for her glance seemed
to him to say: What are you doing
here? And Selwood, barely returning
her look, just caught sight Of her
eyes, pulled himself together. and
walked out of the store.
