PAYING VISITS SYNOPSIS--Lured by his fouryear- old playmate, Jaan Lane, Frank Hall, aged six, ventures on the forbidden wall of a dam, in a small Ontario town. He falls into the water and is saved from possible death by clinging to Jean's outstretched arms. Next day Jean informs him that because of their adventure of the day before he is in duty bound to marry her. He agrees when they are "grownups." With Jean's brother, John, also aged six, Frank begins school. Two years later they are Joined by Jean and Frank's slater, Marjorle. 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 an 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 Reglna they meet "Jake," who agrees to find them satisfactory homesteads. He does so, and the two friends file claims on Sec-, tlons 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. Construction of "shacks" and the making of a garden are their first occupations. A young Englishman o t the name of "Spoof" is a neighbor. They call on Spoof, who is living in a tent. Spoof, on his return visit, discloses himself as a man of varied social attainments. Frank's Jealousy Is aroused. Marjorle discovers that they have a new neighbor. "He" turns out to be a Mrs. Alton, a widowed Englishwoman, who, with her threeyear- old son Gerald, has taken up a claim. Frank and John leave the homesteads for a time to do harvest work for wages on a longer-established farm. They encounter Jake, who tells them of his adventure into matrimony. After two months' absence they return to their homes. Jean's enthusiastic welcome, encourages Frank.

CHAPTER IX--Continued "We mast get Spoof sfter her," said Jack. "Hell drag her oat Now that we have real society In oar community s beautiful young widow must not be allowed to *waste her sweetness on the desert air.'" We spent a whole day conjecturing about the new arrivals, and marveling over the strange assortment of humanity out of which It was the business of fate and our lucky stars--no one else seemed to trouble about the matter--to lay in these prairies the foundations of an enduring civilization. Then we settled down to what little work remained to be done. We found our oat crops harvested, and for that we bad to thank Spoof and Jake, who had taken tfyit bit of neighborly service Into their own hands. We made the stable song, banked up the Shacks with earth, and lined them Inside with brown paper which we bad brought from town for that purpose. We cut firewood In our little park by the pond, being careful to destroy nothing but trees which were already dead or were too crowded for growth. Before we had completed these Jobs Spoof paid us another visit We saw his tall figure looming up across the -brown grass one afternoon early in November. He shook hands with a warm, firm grip. He was brown and rugged, and the prairie winds were leaving their mark on his fine English complexion. In the warmth of his grip, in the sparkle of his eye, In the leisurely confidence of hia conversation, there was something about the fellow that was decidedly likable. "Thought I'd Just drop in on you, strangers," he commented. "Have a good autumn's work? I hope you did. I ventured to inquire a few times while you were away, Just in case the young ladles might need some help-- a man around the place, don't you know? I found them most disconcertingly competent About the only service ,1 was able to do was to shoot a rabbit for them; one of those big white fellows. > Jolly good eating, I should say--" How long ago was that?" Jack Interrupted, sharply. Oh, not so long; In fact, they spoke of saving him for your homecoming." Aha! And again, Ahal Come •long, you conspirator 1H We seized Spoof by the arms and marched him Into the house. Marjorle and Jean were there; although we had two bouses the girls were nearly always together In the one on Fourteen, Jean declared that Marjorle was much the better housekeeper of the two, and she came there for lessons. We thrust the somewhat'bewildered Spoof Into their presence. "We have discovered your duplicity," said Jack, sternly, addressing the girls. "We now know the secret of Marjorie's marksmanship." "Oh, by Jove!" Spoof exclaimed. "1 to have messed things up. I'm atrnAd you will think me an awful rotter. Miss Ha.ll. Really"--turning to Jack--"really, it wasn't I that shot the bally hare at all--" "You're only getting lb deeper," said Jack. ' 44 Teas up,, and stay for supper." Spoof did both, and a Jolly nlgf?f we had, playing euchre after the atu>- per dishes were cleared away. But before he left he recalled '"that an errand of mercy lay at the bottom of his visit "I dropped Into Brown's the ether day," he said. "Mrs. Brown la a bit fed np. Staring out of the window, and all that kind of thing. Poor old Brown Is quite useless; worse than I am, if that is possible, but his wife has quality in her that will count. If she doesn't go under first She needs you two girls over there now and again, just to put a bit of sunshine In her souL Now just .hitch up the oxen tomorrow and slip over to section Four and jolly her out of the dumps." "Well, suppose we do," Jack agreed/ "But how about you keeping up your end of the social service? Why wish it all on to us?" "I don't follow yon. I have already been to the Browns'--" "But not to Mrs. Alton's, so far aa we can learn. Mrs. Brown may have no monopoly of loneliness." Perhaps it was only Imagination, but it seemed to me that Spoofs face, usually so frank and open, suddenly became a ma«k. Bat he came back quickly and easily. "I could hardly do that, don't you know? It would not be quits the thing." "Why notr* said Jean, as Ingenuous as ever. H "Why, It would hardly be the thing --it's not in accord--" "You mean it isn't don*," 1 supplied. "Exactly. But of course I know I'jn a greenhorn -yet, even though I am beginning to ripen in spots. That reminds me, I've had another letter from the governor. He wants me to shoot bim a young chlnook." "A chlnook I" "Yes. When I wrote him • recant treatise entitled 'An Incident in a Hay Field, or, How About a Check for a Hundred Pounds'--you will remember the time--I covered the ragged edge of my purpose with a dissertation upon the prairie climate. I told him that it consisted of a melange of everything from Naples at lUs best to Norway at its worst--from sleepy kittens purring in tbe sun to wild she-tigers raging through the jungle. From climate 1 moved to grass by easy stages, and from grass to hay, and from that to the matter of one hundred pounda. On the way I explained that thla part of the country ia not really in the chlnook belt, although occasionally one came down this far. So now I am commissioned to shoot for the governor a young chlnook. He thinks the skin would look a bit' of all right on the library floor, don't you know?" "And, of course, you will shoot one?" "A eeqbest from one's immediate paternal ancestor, accompanied by a draft for a hundred pounds, ia not to be lightly disregarded." "Let me think," said Jack, and for a few moments we remained silent to give hia mind elbow room. "I have it!" he suddenly exclaimed "Has your governor ever seen s bad ger?" "Not likely except possibly at the zoo." •' * . "We must take that chance. You must shoot a badger, Spoof, which we wtll formally christen a chlnook, and send It to your governor in time for Christmas." "I' think It Is wicktd to do that," said Jean, whose sympathies were al ways with the underdog. "No doubt Mr.--Mr. Spoof, senior. Is a delightful old gentleman, and It isn't fair. Fancy someone from America visiting him and Mr. Spoof goes showing off the Chinook which' his son shot on the banks of the Saskatchewan. 'Chinook nothing! says the visitor. That'a a badger, as common as rabbits, almost and would describe your son as another prairie animal, smaller than a badger, with two stripes down its back." "Oh, listen to Miss Prim 1" Marjorle Interrupted. "Who would think Bhe had a letter from her mother asking If she was canning any buffalo beans? It was not until Spoof's tall form had dissolved out of view in the star light that it occurred to me how skill fully he had changed the conversation from the subject of Mrs. Alton, was something to think about and out 8b* seemed to live always en t h e v e r g e o f t h e i n f i n i t e . . . . At length we were at Brown's. The rickety shack, smaller than either of ours, presented a Bad and forlorn appearance. Three little faces were crowded In a single window that covered our approach. Brown himself was busy building a stable of sods, and succeeding very badly in his work. He could scarcely be distinguished from his building material, but when the saw us he shook himself, as a dog shakes off water, and came up, touching his cap. "We are yonr neighbors from Fourteen" we announced ourselves. "May we go in?" "You may, and welcome," he said. "The wife will be\a bit fuddled. I'm not the most presentable myself.** Then Jean did a great thing; one of those wonderful things that' no one but Jean ^seemed to think of. She clambered to the side of the wagon and held our her arms. "I'm all dirt Miss," Brown pretested. "I'm all earth and sand." But he came slowly forward to her outstretched arms, and when his hands reached hers he took her and gently helped her down.' "Thank yon, Mr. Brown," she" said. But Brown was looking at her and at na with' eyes that had suddenly gone misty with a mist not of the sods or of the sands. Two little pools of water gathered and streaked a slow, dusty course across his grimy face. Inside we found Mrs. Brown 'a bit' fuddled,' aa her husband had predicted. At first she merely stood wringing her hands, but when Jean and Marjorle kissed her, and then kissed the little Browns, the veil suddenly lifted and she was all kindness and hospitality. What a day it was, after we began to get acquainted! Marjorle'and Jeau had brought' some homemade candy, and In a few minutes the little Browns were smeared and happy and slipping gently about looking into the faces of our girls as though they verily believed them angels. It was dark and starry when we hitched the oxen to the wagon, and shook hands all round, and kissed the children all round, and the girls kissed Mrs. Brown and Mr. Brown forgot' himself and kissed the girls and Jack and almost kissed Mrs. Brown and we drew slowly away waving our hands and watching the five figures fraihed in the doorway against the yellow light of the oil' lamp on tbe opposite wall. Our experience with the Browns encouraged ua to cultivate the acquaintance of our other neighbors and as the short, bright days of November wore by the low-hanging sun often saw our ox-wagon wending slowly across the prairies, and the north star and the great dipper were the silent witnesses of its return to Fourteen. Sometimes, too, the great magician of the North ould light his mimic candles, and we would creak homeward In the weird light of their flickering battalions mlnuetlng on the stage of the universe. Smith, the Scotsman, and Burke, the American, received us with undivided hospitality and that strange senae of common interest' which Is the most priceless thing about pioneer life; one of the rich qualities of human nature which seems inevitably to dry up in the more complex civilizations. Ole Hansen entertained us for a full hour in the stable before his buxom Olga consented to admit us into the house, When at last we were granted that privilege there was evidence of hurried scrubbing of floors and faces. My wife bane all the time yust on the yump," Ole explained apologetically. "Some time Ay tank by d--n we have too many kids, eh?" -It appeared 8andy Saw Ua Afar Off and Swept Down Upon Ua Like a Tornado. We did as Spobf suggested. Early the next afternoon we hitched Buck and Bright to the wagon and wended our slow way southwestward, Jack and I taking turns In the exclamatory exercises by means of which the oxen were kept in motion. The prairie now was very brown and bare, and only the more hardy goplrtrs remained about' to whistle saucily at our carry-all lumbering by. The dazzling sunshine seemed to have lost its force, and there was a presage of coming winter in the air. We dropped into silence save for tbe noises of our locomotion. 1 "The world seems to have died," aald Jean after a long period of thonghtfulnesa. The expression was an appropriate one. The world was, actually, dead, livery blade of grass was a stark little corpse, swaying ghostily to the stir of the cold air. Soon the shroud of winter would be woven about them, flake by flake, mantling them all in ita cold, wblte tomb. "But ID the spring it will live again," Jean continued, after t pane*. "That is the life eternal/* Jean was a strange girl. Her jughtM went on and on. reaching out, that Ole was beginning to harbor some modern ideas about the* size of families. His opinion that six way |yust a nice commence" was being shaken. The housing problem was coming home to bim and bearing its Inevitable fruit. No such radicalism had yet filtered Into the mind of the Russian, who, for the sake of convenience, we continued to call Sncezlt He met us stolidly where the trail wound down the bank of the gully near to bis dugout. He wore a long sheepskin coat with the wool still on It, high boots drawn well up on the thigh, and a brushy, black beard. He regarded us In silence, and at' length Jack apoke. "We are your neighbors. We hare comedo call on you. We hope yon are well." The Hpa under the Mack mustache parted slowly, showing a aet of strong, regular teeth. "No much Angieesh,** he remarked. We clambored down and shook hands. This seemed to assure him of our friendly Intentions, and when we managed to make it clear that «re wanted to visit his house he led na to it without hesitation. It was merely a cave dug out of the side of the gully. The front was roughly built up with stones and sods, and a crude door, made of pieces of packing boxes, afforded admittance. The only light' was from an opening in the door, which could be closed when the weather was too severe. Sneezlt went first and addressed some words in Russian Into the gloom. We followed, encountering in the door the fumes of the place's bad ventilation. It was some time before our eyes became accustomed to the darkness, but presently we discerned a woman stooping, indicating a long bench which had been set for us. Across the cave was a drove of children, their eyea peering and shining like those of wild animate. Indeed it seemed that eyes were the most noticeable thing in that very bumble little home. Presumably there were months as well; no doubt Sneezit and his wife had reason to know that there were mouths aa well as eyes. As soon after our return from harvesting as our duties permitted It we paid another visit to Mrs. Alton. Sandy saw us afar off and swept' down upon us like a tornado. Apparently he had known us at the first glimpse, or the first sniff, whichever was his source of information, for there was no question this time about our welcome. His barking and tall-wagging accompanied us all the remainder of the way to the little box that Mrs. Alton called home. The widow had had time to dress since we hove in view--that ia ofce of the advantages of prairie life not set out in the immigration booklets--and it was a dainty and spick-and-span Mrs. Alton that greeted us when our wagon lumbered up to her door. "I said, 'It's our friends from Fourteen and Twenty-two*--you see how I am picking up your prairie way of numbering your farms Instead of naming them--I said, 'It's our friends from Fourteen and Twenty-two' as soon as I heard Sandy's first bark. That was before you were in sight, so far as my poor eyes could see. But Jerry, who wag up In the wagon playing teamster, cried, 'I see dem, Mudder; oxes and Mith Lane.' He's crazy about Miss Lane." "Jerry is a young man of discrimination," 1 said, scoring for once. But' my wit was lost in the wild and panting hug which Jean was bestowing upon my rival. "So he's Jerry now," said Jean, releasing her embrace enough for speech "That sounds like getting down to earth. Ever so much more chummy than Gerald." "Do you think BO?" Mrs. Alton queried. "And I vowed that what ever came, I never would, call him Jerry. Too reminiscent of Jeremiah, and lamentations, and all that sort of thing that I wanted to get away from." Mrs. Alton stopped short as though she had said more than she Intended then brightly took up the thread again. "I vowed I would leave my lamentations behind" she continued. "I take it that this ia a country where there is room for everything but regrets." It was evident that Mrs. Alton's bereavement was filling a good part of her mind, ao Jean deftly switched the conversation back to the boy, and presently was conducting a foot-race to the chicken shed with herself, Jerry and Sandy as tbe competitors. Sandy won. We had tea, of coarse, and.after Jerry had gone to bed and Sandy had lain down with his chops on the floor between his paws and his tall thumping the boards occasionally in approbation Jack got out our much-worn deck of cards and we initiated Mrs. Alton into the mysteries of pedro. With a beginner's luck she and Jack were much too successful for Jean and me, and when It was time for us to go we .insisted that she must visit Fourteen some night soon and give us a chance to return the drubbing. "I should so like to, but I can't leave Jerry," Mrs. Alton explained. "But Jerry must come, too," we countered. "Jerry and Sandy, and. If necessary, the cow and the chickens. Now you simply must or some night we will come over and kidnap you by force." But Mrs. Alton would give us no definite 'answer. There was no such hesitation at Jake's. Jake met us in the yard, hatless, coatless, vestless, although the temperature was flirting with the freezing point "Welcome!" he exclaimed. "I suppose you've come to condole with me In my affliction?" "What affliction?" we inquired, half misled by Jake's manner, for be was an expert In simulation. "She's inside--an' In possession. It's fort'nate fer me, this country runs so much to outside, fer that's all I've any claim on." But by thla time Jake's wife appeared In the door. "Come on in, girls," she cried, "and never mind that blatherskite. He goes around halfdressed, keeping himself warm thinking up nonsense. I tell him some day he'll freeze hia hair, and that's his finish, for I won't stay married to a bald man, whatever bappena." "Tut tut" ret umed ber aponas. "Where Bella Donna is put she staya. That'a her strong point." It was an afternoon of much badinage we spent at Jake's, bat under the surface there were evidences that our former land guide regarded his wife with a sort of awe which he tried to obscure from public view by smoke screen of raillery. Bella, It was apparent was a woman of character, and although Jake could scarcely, be described aa plastic In her hands, hia recasting was only the harder on him on that account He was in the mills of the gods, and they proposed ^to make a job of it "I don't know whether she'll make me a good wife or not," he confided in me, "but I reckon ahe'a sat on makin' me( a good husband." But Bella's house wan clean, and Bella's table was well set as pioneer tables go, and Bella' was a living concentration of energy such as Jake needed to spur him into purposeful activity. It was Jake's weakness that he would drop a job any day to perpetrate a joke. 'He thinks he's a joker," said Bella, acidly, anent this characteristic of "Now I Am Well and the Mother of Two Children" Juil Another Story Abouf tbe /s. i i 1 of PE-RU-HA Mrs. Anna Under, « 1,„ Box 44, Dastel, Meeker County Minn., writes: "For two years HI suffered with that terrible diseaafc chronic catarrh.

It Gave Me a Little Orthodox Shivar to Think What My ,8trict Presbyterian Parents Would Have Said to Jean Picking So Perverted an In. strument as a Banjo on Sunday Afternoon. k her husband* "whereas he's, only • joke. There's a big difference." We left that night with assurances from Jake and Bella that they would visit us twice a week all winter--a promise w^iich they almost kept But not all our visiting was with our new neighbors. Most of it, aa you may suppose, was back and forth between Fourteen and Twenty-two. Spoof we counted on to make a fifth spoke in our circle every Sunday, and the banjo lessons, neglected during our absence, were now taken up in earnest. It gave me a little orthodox shiver to think what my strict Presbyterian parents would have said to Jean picking so perverted an instrument as a banjo en a Sunday afternoon, and blending her voice with Spoofs in "The Road to Mandalay But I was little happier when they abandoned the secular for such old airs as "Abide With Me" and "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." Toward the end of the month ws had our first snowfall. Old Sol that morning bad a mimic sun on either, side, and there was a frosty glitter In the air in which our neighbors' shanties gradually faded out of sight as though hidden behind a veil of crystal tapestry. By noon a gray pall shrouded the sky and the anow began to Bhake down as gently as feathers fluttering from the bosom' of some mammoth bird which had taken the world to be her nest and In spring would hatch again tbe ancient miracle of life. Marjorle and I stood in our door and watched the big flakes descending, slowly, silently, reslstlessly, settling on wagon and hay rack and every blade of grass. Across the gully, aa through a slowly falling curtain of ivory lace, we saw the* vague forma of Jack and Jean watching them, too. By midafternoon the ground waa white. Next morning we looked upon • new world. The snow had ceased falling, the sky was clear and bright and the stars were still visible at our rising hour. Then up came the sun, splashing the heavens amber and orange and blood red, and suddenly setting a million tons of diamonds ablaze with his brilliance. After the snow came we aeemed to cling to each other's company even more than before. It's a solemn thing to be alone in a world of snow. Perhaps Its coldness, its stark whiteness. Its vast silence suggests that which makes the heart reach out for some warm pulse of friendship. Perhaps ita peace and beauty stir something in our nature that insist* on being shared.
