FINAL INSTALMENT

Hiram Morris was too sick to be
moved. The doctor pronounced it
pneumonia and for Rose and Jim
there commenced period of sleep
less anxiety. He moved her into
his cabin and tried to force her to
take some rest, but as for him he
did not remove his clothes and
scarcely closed his eyes for nearly
a week.
Then Mr.. Morris died. He had
muttered almost constantly; the
last words they. heard him whisper
were those of his favorite prophe-
cy, ''Some day III land in the
pay"
There followed the customary
melancholy preparation and for
malities. There were still few
women left on the creeks near by
and these did what they could for
Rose.

place, upon the north rim of the
creek high bench that PARALLEL

picture constantly
sWell, we'll! That's certainly
nice" Jim could think of nothing
else to say.
'He's an unselfsh boy. He did
a great deal for father. I think he'd
give his life for me. And yet he
has never said that he loves me. I
had to find it out by chance"
"Rose" All the reserve, all the
counterfeit cheerfulness of The
Michigan Kid, fell away. 1t was
Jim Rowan, the Dover boy, who
stared at her with working face,
and exclaimed in a voice suddenly
grown hoarse, ''You-found that

"Yes; that night when l was
looking for medicine. How long
have you had it, Jim?''
ever since the day you gradua-
ted. I've always loved you, ever
since I was a ragged kid and you
drove by in your wicker pony cart.
Rose dear, it was because of you
that l gambled. I wanted money.
l think I'd have killed to get it
almost. I went through hell. Then
when l had my money and had
found you 1 went through hell
again because-well, because of
the hell I'd been through. I'm

Jim did not finish, for the girl
held up her arms to him and said,
quaveringly, like weary child:
"Take me, Jim. Please! Pm-so
tired!"

Kids luck held through to the
finish.

the bottom and that looked out
across the tundra towards the open
sea. 1t was a spot that in winter
was sheltered from the icy blasts;
in summer it was brilliant with
wildflowers, lush with tender gras-
ses, and fragrant with blooms
pleasant place for gentle, brok-
en- old man to sleep. Other hands
were ready to dig the grave, but
this was a labor that Jim Rowan
reserved for his own.
In due time he began it. For
tunately, the rim was well drained
and, once he had picked through
the thin crust of autumn frost,
the gravel was dry and he made
good progress. He had finished
his melancholy task and was about
to climb out of the pit, when he
noticed a peculiar reddish tinge to
the gravel beneath his feet. He
took heaping shoveful of it and,
descending to the creek, he stamp
ed hole through the lice and idly
''panned'' it on the shovel blade.
He was engaged thus when
young Hayward and two of his
men approached. Jim rose and
leaned upon his shovel handle. He
supposed these were the first ar
rivals for the funeral, but Hay
ward explained:
II came up early to have word
with you, Rowan
II thought you said about every
thing, the other night" Jim told
him. ''I'm not in any humor to

"Oh, was drunk! l made fool
of myself. Now that l know who
you are, I've come prepared"
Jim stared incredulously at the
speaker; harshly he inquired: 'You
don't mean to say you intend to
start something today?"
Certainly not. I came up to
serve notice on you. I've learned
how you met Mr.. Morris and came
out here, and I understand why
you came. But Rose doesn't un-
derstand. She doesn't know you're
The Michigan Kid; she thinks
you're just the old friend of the
