He had been | at Yellow Post that day. "Malcolm has finished 'the work for Bjarnasson, and is starting north to-night. He's taking the road past the swamps -- up past He'll be comin' past here. Goat-eyes'll Lave another look at you, Ellen," the boy grinned at her. | | Caleb made no comment for some | [time. Then he said, "I'll be goin' | { up to Erickson's to-night. - Have the { cart ready, Charlie. Leavin' early." "I saw some of the children over {at the school to-day, Teacher. I | think it was some from north of Latt's Slough. They're like as not to break in and do some damage," | Ellen said to Lind. Lind madé some answer, but Ellen did not hear her. Perhaps Caleb would be gone be- fore Malcolm came past--he would | assume that his very absence was powerful to stay her from doing {anything that he would disapprove of--that was his way of reasoning. } She helped Amelia with the dish- es and then went out to the milk { yard. From her stool beside the cow she watched Caleb with strain- ing eyes, watched him putter about to and fro from the house to the barn, from the barn to the granary, | from the granary to the tool shed, with his preoccupied, slow shuffle. Prince was hitched to the dog cart, waiting. But Caleb did not look toward the horse. He vanished in- to the barn and had not come out when the sun was a flaming bhlobe through the populars. Had he! changed his mind, and was not go-| Ing? Ellen tried to see beyond the grove to the turn in the trail, but the poplars danced togetheY crazily before her eyes. She bowed her head once more and pulled at the cow's teats. Then she heard, still quite far way, the sound of a horse's hoofs coming through the still even- ing. At that moment Caleb came out of the barn and untied Prince, mounting the-cart. Ellen hoped desperately that the rider coming from the west would rein in. Then Caleb got down from the cart and went into the house, emerging in a few momen.s with his duster on his arm. But the horse's hoofs were pass- ing the curve now, behind the poplars. Caleb climbed into the cart again and drove hurriedly to- ward the outer gate. Ellen heard Malcolm's greeting to Caleb, but from where she sat she could not see him. She sprang up, and ran to the wooden fence of the milk yard, leaning out over it. Then she hastily glanced about to see if any one were watching her. She could see Malcolm on his pony, sit- ting straight and dark, with a sift- ing of light falling upon his should- ers through the poplar grove. Now he was riding away, Caleb driving beside him in the cart. Skuli Erick- son lived just beyond the homestead Indigestion When chronic, is best relieved Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.

Lind and Mark, who after supper | had ridden by way of the wood road | to visit Fusi Aronson, took another | trail coming back, one that led east- | ward and met the other road on | which the Brunds and the Ericksons | ved. = They rode slowly, for the evening was one to be enjoyed slow- | ily. They were now on a dry ridge | north of the swamps, and could | look down upon the stagnant water | lying in the sunset like ragged rib-| bons of rose and 'gold. On the| margin, Lind saw a few delicate purple orchis flowers growing, and fern go fragile that it seemed to bend under the light, Mark was looking eastward. "A lone horseman," he said. Lind followed his eyes. "Oh, that's | an Indian pony---I think it's the man that was at Gares' for supper not long ago," she exclaimed, trying to make out the figure on the horse. | "I believe Ellen was in love with | him, once." The glow from the west seemed to envelop horse and rider in a golden luster, so that they blended into one. Chapter XIII. Now came ideal Maying weather, dry with only a slight wind. The sky was as clear as g shell day af- ter day. Caleb hoped that it would last only until the hay had been stacked. There were rumors of bush fires to the north as a result of drought, and Yellow Post was full of bad omens. But the Indians were always ready to predict evil for the white settlers. It meant nothing. Crops in these parts grew slowly and there would be need of more rain, and more rain would come-- it would have to come. Caleb knocked on the ceiling un- der the loft at five o'clock of the morning that was to begin the hay- ing. Amelia was already In the kitchen starting fhe fire. Her should- ers aclied fromthe stooping that she had done the day before when she had taken up 4d large quantity of vegetables for preserving. Her heart misgave her as she thought of Ellen, who had helped in the garden. Ellen would have to work on the rake to-day. "It's not too late to get a man for the haying, Caleb," she ventured. Caleb put on' his boots, stamping heavily on the floor after drawing on each one, This was a signal for those in the loft above to hurry. Af- ter 'he had laced his boots he went to the sink to wash. "You'll do well not to put high ideals into their heads," he finally replied. '"Who's goin' to pay for an extra man, do y'think? Might get Mark Jordan for nothin', of course. Heh, heh! You amuse me, Amelia-- you amuse me!" Amelia fried eggs and strips of salt pork, and 'heated over the oat- meal that had been cooked the night befere. She set the table with the] red and white checked cloth, and put in precise position the cracked plates and the old forks with the bent prongs, and the half-black knives. Then at each place she laid a carefully ironed, worn napkin. It was one of the little observances she had carried over from a some- what gentler life. Caleb had al- ways ignored the napkin beside his plate because it symbolized some- thing in his wife's life that he had tried to obliterate--a certain fine- ness that was uneconomical and pre- tentious. Amelia had known better in the last five years than ever to ask for money for new napkins. The food was on the table when the children came down, Lind with them. All, except the Teacher, were heavy-cyed and scarcely con- scious of one another. "Come, come now---no time to waste. Lot of stuff down there. We work better in the morning y'know," Caleb admonished them. He ate leisurely himself, and the others were away from the table long be- fore he was through. Protest mean only the expenditure of extra effort--the work would have to be done anyway. Ellen and Charlie hitched the horses to the two rakes, and Judith and Martin went ahead with the moving ma- chines. It was deadening work, so that after a while the spirit forgot to follow the body behind the horses up and down, up and down, In the bright heat that rose from the earth and fell from the bare, cloudless sky. The nostrils began to ache from 'the sweet, hot, dusty smell of the hay. The hands grew dry and swollen from the reins, the sun lay like a hot iron on the shoulders, no matter which way one turned. But presently it was only the body 'that was there, enduring; long now till it was over. All the more reason to hurry the horses. Martin looked back and say that Ellen was faring none too well, It would have been cheaper in the end to have hired a man. Caleb must have had some other reason for not taking on extra help. It was his idea, apparently, to blind them all | with work--an extra man would give | them' time for thinking, and dream- | ing. Dreaming of a mew' house and | the like, perhaps. What Ellen would | dream of Martin could not guess. | Ellen was like a pea pod that had | ripened brittle, but cou'd not burst | open. Then he realized that ha, too, | was a closed pea pod--they were all | closed pea pods ,not daring to open. | The idea fascinated Martin. He felt as though he had just learned to think, that he had just found his mind with a unique idea in it. Then one of the horses stumbled, and in pulling at the reins Martin lost his | idea. His mind closed again, ex- cept to the heat that jigged visibly in the air, and to the heavy, pung- ent-dull smell of the hay. He glanced back at Ellen, .who as piling at uneven intervals. Then he saw Caleb drive up to the fence in the opposite field, where Judith had just come in sight south of the bush. Judith stopped her horses. She was evidently listening to some- thing Caleb was calling to her. Martin looked uneasily toward Ellen, and at the slovenly piles. Presently Caleb drove around the west field to the, southern border of the one in which Martin work- ed. Martin was close enough to the fence to talk with him. "Hardly a thistle in thing," he told Caleb. year's beat, all right." '""H-m,"" Caleb muttered, striving to conceal his pleasure. 'Ellen's draggin' it there, I see. Ellen!' He beckoned to her, and she got down from the seat and came toward him "What's the matter with ydu? Day dreamin,' or something? Look at that stuff there---all over the place. Go over it again from the end of the strip--'way back," he said gently, as if with extreme patience. Ellen went back to the rake and turned the horses around. She toil- ed over the whole strip again, pick- ing up the strewn piles and measur- ing the distance between the new ones that she made, trying not to feel the pain id her eyes and in her back. The sun moved toward the noon mark, and 'the two fields were near- ly a quarter mown. Amelia waved a towel at them from the end of the garden, and Judith, who was the first to see the signal, called to Martin. The four teams were un- hitched and turned in toward the road, and the first half day's work was done. Ellen, Charlie and Martin went ahead of Jude, who lingered behind looking in the direc- tion of the Sandbos', just across the road. She knew that Sven must have seen them at work in the field, and that he would be watching for them to return home for dinner. She waited in the shadow of some wil- lows. Then Sven came. He stepped down into the enclosure of the willows and drew her after him. whole last the "Got "Ive got to see you more than this," he said. "Charlie was out for the cattle last night. Why didn't you come?" : "Can't let htm get suspectin' things, Sven," Judith reminded pure. ob MILD VIRGINIA CIGARETTES Save the "ROKER HANDS" * J that are packed with TURRET Cigarettes It's safe to buy your tires ' wherever you see this sign, for the efficient Dunlop Of- ficial Dealer stakes his reputation on and invests his money in them, .
