the birches, letting his horse wan
der off to nibble the sweet young
grass. On a little rise of ground he
stood and listened. The shimmering
air held a sad stiffness; even the
coquettish young leaves of the
birches dropped in a melancholy
quietude.
He had been standing there only
a moment when from somewhere
deep within the birches came the
tiny bleat of lamb. Bruce knew
it could not be one of is own flock.
Ned was too experienced a herder
to permit any of his wards to stray.
Besides, the sound had come from
well within the land of Jarvis Dean.
The responsibility was not his and
yet-he stepped down from the rise
of ground and strobe through the
birches till he came to the creek.
He followed the shallow stream
downward until he came at last to
the fatal spot which he had marked
years ago and which he had visited
occasionally during the summers
that had come and gone since his
boyhood-the spot where the sheep
herder had found the still form of
Godfrey Lander lying in the shall
low creek.
He paused a moment and looked
about him. The light of the waning
afternoon was pure amber sprayed
with lacy leaf-shadows. Here it was,

off his reading nearly two hours ago.
It was now five o'clock and the Sum
day afternoon sunshine lay in long
slanting beams across the dark
green rug that covered the floor. He
must have dozed off, he thought, as
the clock on the mantel chimed the
hour. He had no idea it was so late.
Dinner would be on before he knew
it. It was odd that Autumn had not
yet come back. Florian Parr had
come up from Kelowna for the day
and the girl had gone motoring with
him. They would be IN any moment

taken possession of the gloomy old
house with no other thought, appar-
emily, than that the place was hers.
It was surprising, too, how immedi-
ate and complete the possession had
been.

frey Lander had last looked upon
the world he had loved.
He lifted his eyes suddenly at the
sound of child's whimper Only a
few yards away, half-hidden behind
the shining birches, small boy was
leading a lamb at the end of rope.
At first he could not believe his eyes.
But when he called and the boy
turned his face toward him and be-
gan to cry, Bruce knew him at once
It was the young son of Tom Will
mar, Jarvis Deans foreman. In
moment he had the boy in his arms.
"Why, Sinmy! Where did you
come from?" be asked.
Sinmy buried his face on Bruce's
shoulder and sobbed. The lamb
promptly lay down In the fern that
grew beside the water.
Bruce laughed as he Rugged the
boy close. Where in the world do
you think you're going, Simmy?" he
asked.
''I want to go home" Simmy
sobbed. 81 want to go home"
''Sure you do. Come along, son,
and III take you home," Bruce COM
forted him.
He caught up the lamb under one
arm, and carrying the boy on the
other, made his way quickly out of
the birches and whistled to his
horse. Almost at the same instant
he heard woman's voice call from
the hilltop to the northward and
looking up he saw Autumn Dean
riding toward him. He hailed her
and waited until she had come down
to him and had dismounted beside
him.
Where did you find him." she
asked Bruce.
Down there In the gully. He
looked as if he was getting ready
to put up for the night"
"Simmy, you little inpl" Autumn
said, stretching her arms out for
him. Come to me, darling"
Bruce surrendered his charge and
stood by, the lamb still in his arms,
while Autumn wiped the boys eyes
and cheeks with her handkerchief
and kissed him to still his crying.
Don't cry, darling. Autumn viii
take you back home" She looked at
Bruce could anything be sillier?"
she said and laughed. That's Mo-
mo you have IN your arms. The
men told Simmy that they were GO
ing to dock Mo-mo's tail this after
noon and Simmy just wouldn't stand
for it. He ran off to hide Mono
In the hills. He must have been
gone for hours before anyone missed
him."
How did you know where to look
for him?" Bruce asked.
I'VE have young Dickie to thank
for that. After all hands had made
a frantic search about the place,
Dictie confessed he had seen Sim
my go away in this direction and I
rode cut at once. The men are
securing the hills. I had no idea
he would have come so far"

smiled over her shoulder at Bruce
who stood watching her.
"Send the reward to Ned, my
herder," he said.
She set the boy on his feet and
drew a sigh of relief as she looked
down where the birches stood along
the creek. Abruptly and disquiet-
ingly out of the obscure weave OF
the past, a pattern, a color, stood
out wildly before her. This was
the gully she had visited years ago
against her fathers desires.

she said.
st still do-sometines," Bruce re-
piled slowly.
She was sorry then that she had
spoken. A usefulness had come into
Bruce's eyes that caused her to turn
away.
''Come along, Sinmy," she said
quickly. We've got to get you back
home"
''rn go along with you," Bruce
suggested. ''You won't be able to
manage alone"
Thanks, Bruce" she said, and
got into her saddle at once.
When he had seated the boy be-
fore her, he lifted the lamb and
mounted his horse, and In a mo-
ment they were riding slowly up the
hillside on the way to the trail that
led back to the Dean ranch-house.
ST hope you will try to forget
what happened last night, Autumn, "
Bruce said when they had gone a
little way in silence.
Autumn turned to him and smiled
reassuringIy. Zone doesn't try to
forget such things, Bruce" she re-
Piled. Zone tries to understand
them"

said. ST am sorry it happened"

sides-I think I'm glad rather than
sorry"
st can't quite see that" Bruce
protested.
Autumn was silent for a moment
before she replied. Finally she
turned and looked squarely into his
eyes. "You and I, Bruce, have
grown up together-without knowing
much about ourselves. I lay awake
last night wondering why your moth
er should have hated mine for twen-
ty years or more. think I have

that your mothers bitterness comes

She hesitated and Bruce spoke up.
''Of jealousy"
do you think it possible that the
two-your father and my mother
may have been in love with each
other?"
Bruce's eyes were straight before
him as he replied, ST have never
thought of either of them-without
the other"
There seemed to be nothing to be
said after that. They rode forward
together, aware of deep and silent
understanding that was more than
words Once Autumn permitted her
eyes to move quickly over his strong
brown hands and along his arms to
the powerful curves of his Shout
ders. And once he turned and saw
that her ripping hair had come
loose from its knot at the nape of
her neck and had fallen deliciously
about her rose-blown cheeks. Her
hair must be sort of auburn, he
thought, but In the low sun it had
tints of plum color. He found HIM
self thinking that she had deep-sea
eyes - mermaid's eyes, luminous
gray-green. He wanted to tell her
so, but forebore.
And just then a rider came rae
ing toward them across the range.
It was one of Jarvis Deans men
who had been searching for the lost
Sinmy.

ST. CLOUD SOCIAL SECURITY
BOARD OFFICE HAS HUGE JOB

Looking after the old-age insur-
ance problems and questions of
more than $4,000 employees and
many thousands of employers in
Minnesota is the job of the Social
Security Board office in st. Cloud.
This job is done by a staff of
four federal civil service employ
ees, under the direction of E. A.
Asleson, manager of the office.
The st. Cloud office district COW
ers 1926 square miles in which
"a, 1850 wage-earners reside who are
partially or fully covered by old
age insurance. Opened on Novem-
Der 1. 1887, the office is the old
age insurance headquarters for Is
counties in central Minnesota.
During 1888, the office forward
ed 127 old-age insurance claims to
Washington for adjudi C o n.
These claims are for single cash
benefits to commercial or indus
trial workers who have reached
age IS or to the families or estates
of deceased workers. The amount
of the benefit equals 31a 90 of the
wages earned by the employee be-
tween January l, 1887, and his 65th
birthday or death.
In addition, the office issued 49,
1856 social security numbers to
wage-earners in 1888. Social secur-
ity numbers are required of all
workers who are employed in
commercial or Industrial work
either on a permanent or temper
airy basis or on full-time or part
time.
Counties served by the office are
Benton, Big Stone, Chippewa
Douglas, Kandiyohi, Lac Qui Parle
Meeker, Mile Laos, Morrison
Pope, Renville, Sherburne, Stearns
Stevens, Swift. Todd, Wright, and
Yellow Medicine.
