Now that she was released from the necessity of excusing ber mother's faults--faults she could now that she could look upon her as a loyal friend, she was moved to pity and to love, and, rising, she went to her and put her arms about her neck and suid: "This won't 'make any difference. | am going to stay with you and help you just the Cavanagh, Forest Ranger The Great Conservation ' ~ Novel Lh ---- same" a0 . . : The tears came to the old woman's eyes, and her voice broke as she re plied: "1 knew you would say that, Lee Virginia, but all the same 1 don't intend to have you do any such thing 1 ; yose from me alto gether, use some fine chap is go ing to come along one of these days, and he won't want me even as a step mother-in-law.

It would make a difference to Ross. It would make a difference to the Redfields. Traitorous as it seem- ed, it was a great relief, a joy, to know that her own mother--her real mother--had been "nice." "She must have been nice or Lize would not have said so," she reasoned, recalling that her stepmother had admitted her feel ing of jealousy. At last Lize rose. "Well, now, dearie, 1 reckon we had better turn in. It {8 getting chilly and late." As they were about to part at the door of the tent Virginia took Lize's 'face between her hands. "Good night, mother," she said and kissed her to show her that what she had said would not make any difference. But Lize was not deceived. This unwonted caress made perfectly plain to her the relief which filled the girl's heart. Lee Virginia was awakened some hours later by a roaring, crackling sound and by the flare of a yellow light upon ber tent. Peering out, she saw flames shooting up through the roof of the ranger's cabin, while be- side it, wrapped in a blanket, calmly contemplating it, stood Cavanagh with folded arms. A little nearer to the bridge Redfield was sitting upon an. upturned box. ; 'With a cry of alarm she aroused her mother, and Lize, heavy eyed. laggard with sleep, rose stowly and peered out at the scene with eyes of dull amaze ment. "Why don't they try to put it out?" she demanded as she took in the import of the passive figures. Dressing with tremulous haste, Lee | stepped from the tent just in time to sce Swenson come from behind the join the others of the | tor the faith had become to me a plague spot, and there was no other way to stamp it out. 1 should never have felt safe if 1 had carried out even so much as a letter." ' Dumb and shivering with the chill of the morning, Lee Virginia drew nearer, ever nearer. "I am so sorry," she sald and yearned toward him, eager to comfort him, but he warning- ly motioned her away. "Please don't come any nearer, for 1 dare not touch you." "But you are not 111?" she cried out, with a note of apprehension in her voice. He smiled in response to her ques tion. "No; 1 feel nothing but weari- pess and a' little depression. 1 can't 'help feeling somehow as if 1 were burning up a part of myself in that 'fire--the saddle 1 have ridden for years, my guns, ropes, spurs. Every: thing relating to the forest is gone, and with it my youth. 1 bave been something of a careless freebooter my- self, 1 fear. but that Is all over with "now."
