A Bad Start "l am afraid that you are a poet, Miss Clifford." "What do you meap, Mr. Anstru- ther?" "To be polite to a young lady with aR imagination. Did you net tell me when I was in Larkshire, that it never rained in British Columbia? Don't You remember how blue your sJies were when you were ¥ sand miles away from them? May I be per- mitted to ask if this 1s a fair sample of your Eden ™ The speaker, a tall, slight man, of not more than twenty-three, stood be- side an up-country cart, the eollar of Kis 'waterproo! coat turned over his 'ears, a wet cigaretie drooping rem his lips, aud an icy sleet storm driving lato the back of his neck, in spite of his 'endeavors to keep it out. Bvery line of his thin, well-bred face expressed discomfort and disgust, whilst the smartness of Lis getup em- phasized the roughness of his sur- roundiugs. The ladies he was address Ing, in spite of the disadvantage of a. seemed infinitely more tu their le ment than he did. "Does it never rain in England, Mr, Anstruther?" "Yes, but we adrit it, though 1 never saw anything Wke this in that much-maligned = country 1 suppose this. is what you call a blizzard," and he dug his heel irritably into his horse's ribs to turn that animal's quar ters mare emphatically wpon the slant ing deluge. ~ At this moment s man rode up on a ragged-looking cayuse, plain headed, and not too straight in the shoulder, but guick and handy as a cat. This man looked at the speaker with a scarcely concealed kneer upon his weather-stained face. "It's no good staying here, Mrs. Rolt,"" he sald to the girl's companion. "This won't let up before dark, and it's going to turn cold. Shouldn't won- der if we got the blizzard that gentle man talks about." . "How far is it to Brown's, Jim?" "Can't say exactly. Pretty Dick Says we are off the trail. I guess he' right." "What is this then that been following?" "A watering trail seemingly. I've not been this way myself for years, but the tracks all break up different ways a bit farther on." The mouth was early October and in October the weather may be perfect upon the narthern cattle lands or it may not. There is a whisper always; sometimes a threat of winter in th air, Even ip summer, in spite of the glorious sunshine, you cannes quite for- get that winter reigns here at least half the year. 5; That morning, the long undulating uplands bad been stretches of sunlit purple, royal in coloring, boundless in extent, with fair breideries of pu: > gold where the cottonwoods shed their leaves in the little wet gylites; now, in the grey of coming night, these up lands were wild, colorless and desolate a8 a stormy sea, void and without shelter. It, was g dreaxy outlook for the two women in an open rig, drawn by two utterly worn. Qut horses but it was Mr. Anstruther who resented it. "Do you mean to say, Combe, that you don't know where we are" he asked impatiently. "We ain't In England, Mr, Anstru- we have ther, and we forgot to order milestones when we You were coming." re torted the other, his color rising. "No, we're not in England," Mrs. Rolt put in hastily, "we are in Jim's own country, and ® We are off the trail for a moment, it not matter a little bit. Which way, Nar Jim's face relaxed at once. Like a high-spirited horse he flinched at the least touch of the curb, but the light hands of his Boss's wite could do what they liked with Jim Combe, the fore man of the Risky Ranche.

"Da you think that it is any good to Stop here, Mr. Anstruther?" The figure only half visible in ths darkness ah ad, reined in his horse snd waited. He was too far iu front to have heard, aud yet Mrs. Rolt was Afraid. Jim's hearing. like ali his fac ulties, was keen that of a wud thing. 'a fl dom't believe that that fellow Engws a bli where he is." muttered Anstruther angrily. "I don't suppose that he does exact ly. but he will find his way if we let him alone. None of us could do that in thig'darkness." "You trust Rolt," "We have ksown him a long time. Haven't we, Kitty?" But the gil had pething to say. Perhaps her sympathy and her exper fence were not at' dne.' Anstruther growled something under his breath, aud the procession moved on again at a foot's pace. "Well, your. horses seem to have had enough of it, if you have not, Mrs. Rolf," he said at lgst, as the pair balked resolutely dt the foot of an ex ceptionally steep pitch. "Get up, you brutes." and the angry wan laid his whip savagely across the quarters of the nearest horse. It winced but stoed still. Again the whip fell, and the horses backed so that the. cart. nearly turned aver, . "Stop that, Mr. Snstruther." There was an angry ring in the lady's voice, but he was too Savage to notice it. "Pardon me. Migs Niity and your self cannot stay here all night. The brutes must be made te go, 'and dis- wounting, he proceeded to make them. But be was hardly.on his Teet sooner than Mrs. Relt. was out of the cart, aud as his bang rose with the whip in it, he was caught by 'the wrist, and held as fizmly hy those thin white lingers as if it bad been a man who held him. "You forget yourself, Mr. Anstruther These are my horses, and I'l manage them mysell. Ge on and ask Jim to wail for us. Kitty and I can do with- oul your help, thank you." Anstruth r raised. His hat with a muttered apology, snd did as he was bid, wishing himeelf back in Bogla and pretty Mas: Roll at the devil What, he asked, himself, did. womien want in such & country? However, un- less he was very much 'mistaked, she would he obliged to call bim back to those horses before he had gone very far. Such ill-bred brutes could not be made to. understand anything but the Wm wonderfully, Mrs. whip. But Mec. Frank Austruther was very much mistaken. Polly Rolt was uot only a superh horsewompn---as good with cattle, her hushand beasted, a8 any cow-hoy----but she loved them and undersiopd them; . understood them because she loved them. So she stood there in the deep mud and driy- ing hail, passing hel fine. soft hands over the wealed flanks until some thrill of her gentle nature had soothed the poor heasts. Then she stroked their drooping ears, and took the mare's muzzle into her arms, putting her face down be- side the beast's, aud talking tender nonsense which beasts understand. "Drop the reins. altogether, Dick," she commnmnded. "Now,.oM boy, come along; come on lassie, up there, up" and with her hand on the mare's neck She led the way up the steep bank, the horses going with her where ne whip could have driven them. From the top of the bank a tiny speck of light showed ahead In the driven gloam. . "Jim bas camped, I think." "Just In time to save my life." said a desolate volce from the box sea Na Sow Sv "Let Mr. Anstruther down easily. You were pretty hard on him." "Not half as bard on him as he was on poor Bess," snapped the other. "I know, dear, but he is in a strange country, and things are not goin: wel: for him. - He isn't a mutt, really, and yet everything has gone wrong for him 0 a 'What ly Rol angwered, only the winds know, but her face cleared as she deow up at the little log cabin, be side: which -stoed twe dripping nce."

"You might ¢ut some wood for us, Mr. Anst er," called Kitty from the doorway.

"There are some pines in that last sully we passed. ihrough," suggested Mrs. Rak, - Through the dark and not quite cer- tain of his divéetion, the unhappy tchee tchaco (tenderigot) splashed his way, 'and once in the gully put als back into the work, It Was uot his fault that the Axe never bit twice in jhe same place; it was to bis credit that hee kept on hammering, unfil at lest a £rpen pine, Seven or eight inches in diameter, yielded to his Pesseverance. With infinlte roll he trimmed it, cut It into lengths, 'and. then packed fit back in three trips to the cabin Jim had been waiting for the last Iwo trips, and as soon as Anstruther pit his ave down, he taok it wp and disappeared fox five minutes, bringing beck a huge burat "stick" on Wis shoul: der.

I was all so simple and so quickly done when you knew how to do it, but it was annoying to have worked for halt an hour to mo purpese. : "I dow't seem to be mawch 800d," sald Mr. Anstruther. Mrs. Rolt laughed. aud shook her head at the cowboy. "dim." she said. "you are an old bear. Why didn't vou tell Mr. Au siruther what kind of sticks to cut?" Jim grinned. "I guessed he'd have known that much." "How should he? chop wood hefore." "You don't say! there?" Mrs. Rolt ignored the question, "You play fair, Jim. You've got to éshpw Mr. Anstruther how to do things. : fou don't, Ill go heme." "Right away™ "Yes, right away." "Stop and have its dinner first," he said, with impudent coaxing, and banded her a dish of bacon, the rash- ers cut as thin and as daintily toasted as if they had been prepared by a professional cook. "Won't you have some, Miss Clir ford?" Too the younger women his manner was deferential, if not nervous, and, \Seelny her gdvantage, womanlike, Miss Kitty looked at the bacon and sniffed. "It's 100 greasy, Jim. 1 wonder if you would toast some of it a little more. for me, Mr. Anstruther?" Frank hurried to obey her, but the fire had been knocked together to make 8 blaze, and the little flames which shot eut, burned his fingérs and smoked the bacon, but would not toast it, "Half a shake, partner. Let me fix that fire for you. Now 80 ahead." A couple of touches inthe right place from Jim's toe had created a glowing hollow, over which the bacon curled and sizzled merrily, but again it was Jim's dofug and not Frank's, so that Kitty's pretty brow was bent, and though she laughed, there was a strong undercurrent of aunoyance .in her laugh ren Mrs. Rolt began itmocently to hum that popular American air-- "You ain't no good, You ¢'sint cut wood, Just kiss voursels good-bye." The slight upward curl at the cor ners of Jim's mouth did not mend mat ters. . He knew the air, though Ap- struther did not. "Now. I'm geing to be lazy and have 8 goed time," declared Mrs Roit, put- ting away her plate. "I know that wo- men ought to wash up--" "I'R do that, Mrs. Role." "No, you. wou't, neither will vou, Jim.
