With Jean's brother John, also aged six, Frank begins school. Two years later they are joined by Jean and Frank's sister Marjorie. A little , later Jean confides to Frank, In verse, her hope of some day becoming "Mrs. Hall." He accepts the "proposal." Frank is fourteen when his mother dies. The boys are eighteen when John's father is killed in ah accident. Two years later Frank's father and John's mother are married. Dissatisfied with conditions, and ambitious, the two boys make plans to go to Manitoba and "homestead," the girls agreeing to go with them. They set out. At Regina they meet "Jake," who agrees to find them satisfactory homesteads. He does so, and the two friends file claims on Sections Fourteen and Twenty-two. Jake sagely advises the adventurers in the purchase of supplies, and in a wagon drawn by a yoke of oxen, and with a cow, the four arrive at their future homes.

Jan * Tubes When we had had our swim and dried ourselves on the sand we went back up to the house. Tlfe shadows were now falling, long and narrow, to the eastward, and the pra'-le lay hushed and silent in that deep rind peaceful calm which marks the summer evening an hour or two before sundown. After supper Spoof sat and chatted until It was time to light the lamp. Jean set it on the table, and as Its yellow glow fell across his face I realized for the first time that Spoof was not a boy, as were Jack and I. There were lines In the cheeks and about the eyes which, magnified by the shadows under the lamplight, bore evidence that Spoof had known more of this world's cares than was hinted by his usual light-hearted conversation. Presently he was talking of England; easing, perhaps, the homesickness In his heart by calling up scenes of leafy lanes and misty sun-shot landscapes linking deeply Into his life. He bad tales of London as well; tales of art treasures and music and theaters all alight with life and beauty; tales of gravestones marking the great of a nation with a history reaching back into the early obscurity of western civilization. Something about the pride he showed in the great deeds of the past seemed to strike us strangely --we of a country whose history was still so much In the future and whose greatest deeds were still to be done. "Do you sing, Mr. Spoof?" Marjorie asked. "Only at great distances from civIlI-) sation--my bullocks could say a word or two about my musical voice if they were so disposed. But surely you or Miss Hall--" "Jean sings and plays, If we had anything to play on," Marjorie declared, "But we haven't added a piano yet to our equipment I suppose we shall have to buy a binder and horses snd perhaps a thrashing mill before we have any money for musical instruments." "And a bouse," I added. Td like to see you keep a piano in tune in a cage like this." "You should have a banjo," said Spoof. "By Jove, just the thing! I've a banjo tucked away somewhere in my belongings. Something I forgot to pawn at Regina. I'll bring It over and give you lessons, If you'll let me." "I should be delighted," said Jean, and her voice was quite unnecessarily low and sweet. There was a lateCtwllight g'ow In the northern sky and the smell of dew on the prairie grass filled the air when Spoof decided it was time to go home. We helped him hitch the "bally bullocks" to the wagon and watched him disappear into the darkness. Long after he was lost to sight the rumble of his wagon and the voice of his exhortation could be heard welling up out of the distance. "A fine chap," said Jack, as we parted for the night "I am glad we are to have him for a neighbor." "Yes," snid L But my voice had no ring of enthusiasm. CHAPTER VII will be plowed, every foot of It; all hearing something for the world's needs, with prosperous farmhouses at every corner, schools, churches--" *1 smell the porridge!" Marjorie exclaimed. rushing Into the shack. She had a way of cutting off my rhapsodies like that. Jack had seen the tent, too, and he and Jean came over at noon to discuss It. We decided to kno^k' ofT work early that evening and all drive over to make the acquaintance of the newcomers. We found that the tent was pitched on Eighteen, In th^ next township to the east. As we came up we were greeted by a fine collie dog, who seemed to be suffering from the conflicting emotions of his natural good humor and a sense that we had no business on Eighteen. His rush upon us with great barking and show of ferocity en<l^d in much aimiable tailwagging. Evidently we measured up to his requirements, which we took to he no mean compliment. A team of ponies were tethered on the prairie not far away, and a democrat stood beside the tent, with some of Its burden still to be unloaded. A woman of slender build and rather striking beauty stood at the door. There was surprise, and. as I thought, a suggestion of fear in her eyes. More remarkable was the sudden and unmistakable relief which sprang Into tier expression when she had seen us clearly. I am not a detective, even of the amateur kind, but I found myself Instantly gripped by a conclusion. "The woman Is afraid," I said to myself, "affid yet she Is no coward, she has no fear of strangers, but she Is afraid of someone--afraid of someone she knows. She was relieved when she saw we were strangers." The thought was one which was to recur to me from many angles during the next few months. She seemed to hesitate about greeting us, and Jean, always the quickwitted one of our quartette, was the first to break a rather stupid silence. She sprang lightly from the wagon and went forward with arras outstretched. "We are your neighbors, from Fourteen and Twenty-two," she explained. "We saw your tent, and thought we would welcome you to pralrieland." "That Is good of you," said a wellmodulated English voice, but some way the voice seemed to break just there, and the Hps of the newcomer went all a-tremble. The next we knew she and Jean had their arms about each other. . . . "Oh, how horribly stupid of me!" the stranger exclaimed, in a moment or two, disengaging herself and dabbing her eyes with a little lump of handkerchief. "One gets a bit--a bit lonely, In spite of everything. You will think I am rather a bad pioneer. My name Is Mrs. Alton, and I'm so glad you came, Miss--Miss--" Jean introduced herself and the others of our party, and then we clambered down out of the wagon. "Gerald and I have been very much alone," Mrs. Alton explained. "Gerald doesn't seem to mind It a bit-- rather glories in it, I think. ^Already he has made some great explorations, but always under Sandy's .watchful eye. Sandy la a great comfort. Aren't you, sir?" She turned to the |dog, who sedately held up one paw in acknowledgment of her remark. "Gerald, .I should have told you, has Just turned three. I am a widow," Mrs. Alton rattled on, as though not wishing to stress the point--"and these girls had not seen a child since we left Regina In the spring, and the mothering instinct in them, pent up through all those lonely months, now burst forth In sweet silent tears. I began to realize that Gerald Alton was to be one of the important members of the community. "Isn't he lovely--lovely?" Jean was murmurihg as though unable to tear herself from his side. "Mrs. Alton, I am sure you have placed us all under a debt of gratitude. This community simply had to have a baby." After that conversation came easier, and we found ourselves talking about farm life, and the problems of the homesteader. Mrs. Alton drank in every word with avidity; she was eager for Information Oh the most casual affairs. "I am so frightfully stupid!" she exclaimed. "You see, I know nothing about farming, and I suppose It was a verjr wild notion that I should take a homestead. I did It on Gerald's account. I shall manage some way, and in three years--by the time he must start to school--the farm will be mine. Then I shall sell It or mortgage It to give him an education." * "By that time we may have a school rtext door," I suggested. "People will flow in here in crowds, once they make a Btart. Have you plans for carrying on the work of the farm?" "I have two men following with boards to tuild a house; just a very tiny house. In keeping with my purse. Then I hope to hire a neighbor to do some plowing, and I will plant some corn next spring. I shall raise chickens, and have a great, garden--I know all about gardening," she added naively, with a sudden return of confidence. "You should have seen my English roses!" We had not the heart to tell her that there lay a great gulf between English roses and a Canadian cabbage patch, and she rattled on, evidently glad of someone to watch with sympathy the mirage castles which she was building on her horizon. "For myself, I am quite penniless," she confessed, thrusting her upturned palms toward us with a little Impulsive gesture. "Gerald Is my resource, as well as my responsibility. He has a hundred pounds a year. We shall Invest It in this farm. 1 am sure we are going to prosper wonderfully. "All the world seems to circle around Gerald," she added, as though It were an afterthought. She made Jean and Marie sit down on a box on which she had spread a steamer rug. Jack and I stood at the door of the tent where the setting sun blazoned our wind-tanned faces a ruddy red. I "How healthy you men are!" she exclaimed, clasping her fingers In a nervous grip. "If only Gerald will grow up like that!" "We, will come over when the men bring the lumber, and help them build your house," Jack volunteered. The lumber--what lumber? Oh, the boards! Oh, how good of you!" The regard In which she held us appeared to rise another degree. And are you carpenters, as well as farmers?" she asked. "How wonderfully clever you men are, here. I had to go to a doctor In Regina--Gerald had a rash, or something--It was In the evening and I found him at his house, building a chicken-coop. Jolly wonderful, Isn't it?" As the shadow of the democrat filled the tent door we spoke of leaving. Not until you have had tea," she Insisted. "We shall have tea with biscuits and jam. I t ought an oil stove In Regina--a most wonderful machine. We shall have it ready in a moment." While she started her oil stove she asked,, casually enough, "Am I the only newcomer in all the big prairie which you have been having to yourselves?" "No; you are the second," I answered. "We already have one neighbor. a countryman of yours, down on section Two. Spoof, he cahs himself, although that Is not his real name." She was working over the stove, with her back toward us, and perhaps she dallied longer than there was any need for, but I took no notice of the matter at the time. "What a strange name," she said, after a while. . . . "Is he there now--I mean, have you seen him lately? A countryman of mine; you oknow, I must be interested In him," she added, brightly, turning her face to us again. At length, with assurances that we would repeat our visit soon, and a promise from Mrs. Alton that she wpuld return it when the men had her house under way, we clambered into our wagon and started the oxen on their slow, lumbering gait homeward. Sandy saw us properly .jiff the place, and even stood at attention until we faded out of sight in the twilight There Is likely to be a nip to the night air on the prairies even In midsummer, and Jean, I noticed, snuggled comfortably beside me on the board across the wagon box which served as a seat. . . . Or perhaps it was that for the first time in months the latent, motherhood In her nature had been stirred into consciousness. It was Sunday before we heard or saw anything more of Spoof. In a khaki-colored shirt and corduroy breeches and leggings and an Indian helmet which he had dug up from somewhere he was a picturesque and striking figure as he strode into the grateful shade of the shanty. Under his arm, he carried ^ banjo case. Spoof took off his helmet ,and sat dow(n In the shade. A ring of dust had formed on his fair temples and forehead and his brown hair was curly with perspiration. He was a man good to look at; straight and lean, but not too spare; with white t<?eth that flashed behind Hps always ready to spring to a smile beneath a sandy mustache that had more In it of promise than of realizatlbn. His hands were small and finely formed, with long, delicate fingers, and he gave his naila a degree of attention not often found among those so close to the realities of life as were we pioneers. 9 Opening the banjo case he produced not only a banjo 6ut a box of candy, which he had managed to smuggle Into It "The ladies, I hope, will accept," said he, tendering the candy to Jean. "If accompanied by a serenade in our honor?" was the quick rejoinder. "But not until after I have had a bath, and have somewhat recovered my wind," Spoof pleaded, and was excused. It was evening before he took up his banjo, but almost with the first sweep of Its clamoring strings he started vibrations which seemed to catch our little band of exiles somewhere about the heart and squeeze us suddenly hollow with loneliness. Then he sang, dipping Into little fragments of repertoire, until at last he bit upon something that Jean had learned before we left the East, and there her clear soprano joined his tenor as naturally as one brook mingles with another and both flow on, singing a new song which Is all of the old one, and something more. I had never learned to sing, and while I felt the hearttugs of their harmony there were other strings tugging at my heart as well. "But we forgot the greatest news," Jean exclaimed. In a pause after one of their selections. "We have neighbors-- two new neighbors--three, coun- Ing Sandy. They are living on Eighteen, to the east; surely you saw the tent?" , "So I did," said Spoof, "but I thought It might be a wandering Indian f&mlly. Two, did you say? A married couple?" "No, a widow, Mrs. Alton, tnd her baby Gerald, the dearest little chap. He puts us down for Indians, and with some reason." "Gerald?" said Spoof. "How old Is he?" "Just turned three, so Mrs. Alton told us. You should see her; not very big, but pluck to the marrow. She has taken a homestead so that she can raise the money to educate her boy. She Is coming over as soon as she Is settled, and we must have you meet her. She'^ English, and It was the first day of August ot that first year on the prairies that Jack and I hitched the oxen to the wagon, threw on board a kit consisting mainly of a change of clothes and a blanket for each of us, said a brave but undemonstrative good-by to the girls, and turned our faces to the older settlements. We were setting forth to earn what money we could during the short season of high wages. Our own oat field could wait; we would cut it for feed, anyway, and a ,little frost wouldn't matter. On the second day out, as We halt' ed on the side of a little knoll to let the oxen graze and to eat our lunch, we were suddenly aware of the rumble of an approaching vehicle and the tones of a lusty Voice,' lifted In something evidently Intended for song. Even before we had Identified the "flyin* ants" w^ caujght the tardea of the refrain-- , . • "Lived a min-er, a forty-aine-er. An' his daugh-ter, Sweet Marie." "It's Jake, of all the world!" shout; ed Jack, and together we rushed down upon him. His pudgy form, sheltered from the hot sun by a broad felt hat, lolled on one end of the seat of his democrat "Hello!" was his greeting. "Dang It, stand still a minute, you piebald lump o' fox-bait"--this to one of the bronchos, switching at a horse-fly-- "don' you know your friends when you meet 'em? Well, how goes it on the gopher ranch?" We shook hands and made tin# stop and eat with us. Jake was fresh charged with Regina gossip, and that of the country for two hundred miles around. The settlers were streaming in, he said. you'll love her." Jean's frankness rather set me at ease again. Evidently I was magnifying the grip that Spoof was gaining upon her. She was content that he should love his new English neighbor. "I shall be wonderfully Interested In her," Spoof said, gayly, but It seemed to me that his mind had suddenly gone all a-ramble. There was a moment's silence, then he took up the thread again. "I once knew a little boy of that name--Gerald--was much attached to him. Strange how We Were 8etting Forth to Earn What Money We Could During the Short Season of High Wages. but the country was so big It was just like pouring water into the sea. "Only more profitable," he added, thumping his hip pocket "This locatln' game Is like a pint flask--all right while it lasts, but it don' get anywhere," Jake continued. "I've made some lumps o' easy money, but while I was doln' it other fellers that I brung into the bald-headed were busy bustin' the sod, an' today, dang me, they're better off 'n I am.

Affairs began to move with some rapidity in our little settlement Until BOW we had had the world, as far as the eye could cari*y, to ourselves, but Spoof proved only the advance guard of a stream of neighbors which, from Its source in a dozen different springs of humanity, was to pour In upon us during the next few months. Wednesday night we came back from Spoofs, ak we had a little shyness about being overtaken In our good works, and the text morning, while I was gulping great draughts of ozone In front of the shack before breakfast, Marjorie called ever my shoulder: "What's that, away t» the east Frank?" * Sure enough, there was a little white pyramid outlined against the horizon; another tent pitched against front trenches of civilization. "Neighbors, Marjorie; neighbors!" I 'said. "We're to %• qaite a community.

"Let us see him as he sleeps," and without waiting for an Invitation she gently made her way Into the little tent "Don't you think me clever?" Mra Alton asked, when we bad at last discovered It. It consisted of a trunk, with the lid turned back, an^l about half the contents removed. In this she had laid a little'mattress, and on the mattress slept a beautiful toy, his face still ruddy from his wrestle with the prairie winds; his lips cherry red and slightly parted; his little arms thrown Jauntily above his head. Jean leaned and touched the breathing lips with hers, and so did Marjorie, and a little later I saw tears on the cheeks of i both It was thes J remembered that Rehearsals are trying periods. Everybody seems to be wearing his nerves outside his skin. The question whether the actor should take three steps to the right and pause with his left hand on the back of a chair, center, before proposing to the heroine or whether he should do It from the hearthrug, with his left elbow on the mantelpiece, may threaten the friendship of a lifetime. A The author wants him to do It from the hearthrug--Is convinced that from there and there only can he convey to the heroine the depth and sincerity of his passion. The producer, is positive that a true gentleman would walk around the top of the table and do It from behind a chair. The actor comes to the rescue. He "feels" he can do It only from the left-band bottom corner of the table. "Oh, well. If you feel as strongly about It as all that my dear boy," says the producer, "that ends It. It's you who've got to play the part." "Do you know," says the author, "1 think he's right It does seem to come better from there." The rehearsal proceeds.
