"And for that I'll go with you"
She met him by the huddle of canoes a few
minutes later, took the paddle he handed her,
and together they drove a canoe of into the
mist.
Marion padded well-David had been her
.eacher-and as the canoe slipped silently along,
the shore line fading behind them, he watched
her rhythmic stroke-the steady pull, quick re-
ccvsry, her blade taking the water true and
strong. She was a good woods companion; he
had discovered that she knew and loved their
influence as much as he, and all the plans he
had made for many such future days together
were now misty as the day about him.
As thcy neared the inlet, Marion shipped her
paddle and a moment later they grounded on
the beach at the foot Of the trout pool trail.

She had pondered her problem for three long
months; she liked him better than any other
man she had met, but she had not been sure
that she loved him. She had asked him II they

picture seemed to blend into the bigness of q

Area To Wild Life in Lincoln County

reached an agreement providing the

Wolf Creek drainage and the drainage
of the Fisher River from Manicke to
Jennings on the east side Of the river
will be under the supervision Of the
forest service insofar as grazing is con-

ice to decide whether or not any sheep
will be permitted in this area. In order
to offset revenue lost to the A. O. M.
Company through loss of grazing on
this area the forest service has allotted
them equivalent grazing areas on gov
eminent lands in other localities stu

habitation is not material consid-
Grafton In other words, the forest
service has expressed its willingness to
give up the revenue ordinarily received
from its share Of sheep grazing in the
Fisher and Wolf Creek country and
that received by the A. c. M. Company
in order to insure the most desirable
and necessary game conditions for
Lincoln county. This is rather un-
usual thing to do, states Mr. Webb
since in effect the government is really

them to game. Probably 1t would not
