 And I love girl named Katie Blyn." His tone was bitter; he turned on her, for moment only. You're not trying to tell me you are that girl again!"
 She shook her head, caught her lip between her teeth; tears pressed so close behind her eye lids, choking in her throat. "No, not that girl. But not Constance Croby, either. maybe you will be- lieve me, Bret = and believe in me when I tell you what I have de- dide to do."
 If he did not, then nothing ever could make him. She would know that he never would love her again. That her plan, though she would carry it through alone, if necessary, would not bring him back to her.
 What have you decided to do?' Bret asked her.

until they had reached the top of their hill.
 The little white church still smiled down upon them; the king dom that Bret had said belonged to her, still stretched below. In the east night clouds gathered; in the west the sun was a round ball of golden fire.
 Shall we sit down?" Connie c-ked, and waited for Bret to spread his handkerchief on the log.
 He did that for her, but he did not sit down. He stood looking out on that wide panorama of wild, untrammeled majesty, feast ing his eyes, and his soul.
 Its my country, too, now, Bret" Connie, said. T believe I love it almost as much as you do. I believe I'll always come back to it. I know 1t will never disap- point me, or fail me, but, like mo- where else in the world, will make me new once more"
 I'm glad - it means that to you" he said; but with that same reserve and stiff formality. Nat urally, I love it; it is part of me. Not only of me, but of all my peo- pie who lived here before me. Plain people. Pioneers. My great grandfather was granted his plot of land from General Washing ton."
 He had pride in his people, as he had in his land; more than pride, respect and reverence. She understood why; it was the pride of ancestry, of blood; it had noth- ing to do with fame or money or material things.
 You think I will change again" she said, searching for words to break down the barriers between them; the pride, the hurt, the force of his will. But I shan't. I am sure of that. Surer than I ever was of anything. I've grown up, Bret. I suppose you think it is about time 1! It was painful process. I had to hurt not only myself, but others, too. Rodney for one You, perhaps most of all. Or maybe myself - if you won't try to understand and for give me"
 There is nothing to forgive, he said. Still he stood, staring out at the hills on the horizon, watch ing the sun sinking slowly behind them, the sky turning into a glory of scarlet and gold, blue and vio- let. 1T am as much at fault as you; there is as much in me to forgive. I let you change me; l thought I could change you. Each of us is what each has always been"
 "You're wrong," Connie pro- tested. She got to her feet, stood beside him. She could not bear his cold indifference; it was a knife thrust into her heart. If he no longer loved her. if he thought she had not changed, how could she hope to make him believe i'll her again, give her another chance try together once more, to rebuild their lives and their mar riage?
 "You're terribly wrong," she said again. Mot that I blame you for thinking of me as you do. l did try to change you, Bret. I'm glad I didn't suceee. I loved you because you were 2 different from

WHERE the waters of Lake Su. " perior mingle with the waters of Lake Huron, at the spot where Father Marquette founded a Jesuit mission in 1868, commerce today plies along the greatest ship highway in the world. This is the Sault Sainte Marie canal, on the St. Mary's river, east end of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
 The river at this point Heaps" 20 feet downward in less than a mile. To expedite traffic between Superior and Huron, therefore, gigantic locks were necessary. So two canals were constructed, em- ploying five great locks, four on the American side and one on the Canadian.
 An average of 100 ships a day, mostly ore-bearing, pass through these locks during the eight-month navigation season. Traffic in many years has approximated 90,000,000 tOIlS, VdlueO dL lllOlS Llidll T1,ooo,- 000,000. The Davis and Sabin locks (1350 feet long and 80 feet wide) are the longest in the world.
 St. Mary's river was first r1avi- gated by the Indians who made portage around the falls. The North West Fur company built a lock on the Canadian side in 1797-8. The present canal was started in 1885, but locks were added up to 1919. The locks are shown on a U. s. stamp, the Pan- American issue of 1901.
