This . w---.‘- party of eight persons was known as the Hurst party, and their journey from Lincoln to Winnipeg was with- out incident. \V(xxlviuc's previous knowledge of this rugion. before its later setthnncnt, \VuS of not xnuch value to bun nowx the couufloxion of the country had changed so rapkfly wiLh the marvL-lous influx of squat- tens.

Here they squatted on land in a very lonesome location, near to Where has since risen a very flourishing Northwestern city. (ll: Both went to work with a will and bravely endured the hardships Ira of pioneer life. \l’oodville planned for to put up a. larger cabin than the mg regulation size, but the princess dL- “(’19 l niurred, offering the unanswerable , logic that it would be best to do Pr“ nothing that would bring attention ‘3, ; out of the ordinary upon them. “'11 They boarded with a Mennonite cuu neighbor (who had preceded them ces. in the wilderness a few months) unâ€" oil til the completion of their cabin. mg and the Mennonite. whose name was :32" L Sehmaus, aided ll'oodville in the. building of the new home.

When the an new cabin was completed \l‘oodville tr] ,turned his attention to the sowing {f ' of some grain. He'seon l-.“.'.."llt'd to 113 * drive his oxen. which he had purâ€" th lchased from Schmaus. and firmed a jstrong attachment for the. docile Ibrutes which worked for him SO :faithfully and contentedly. The “t l fei w: method of sowing wheat. as (xplain- er ‘ ed to Woodville by Schinaus, was to {plow the prairie to a depth «1" three ti E or four inches with a plow made for - that purpose, which is called "break- pl ling" the soil. This is done in the fa ’spring, then in the fall it is rt- h: {plowed which is called "backâ€"sell- ‘ p: iing" the soil. In the following ti {spring wheat to the amount of one w fbushel and a half to the acre is ‘ S 2"broadcastcd" over the ground, and ti :if the stalks escape the autumn 3 l: frosts, a crop of from 20 to 30 a h ‘ibushels to the acre is assured. The ‘ s rilocation of the Noecker homestead f( .3 (Wm. Noecker being the new name 0 iWoodville had assumed} was a very r L favorable one. Of course it consist- . '. ed of only the regulation 80 acres. ,ibut it comprised some 25 acres of 1‘ bush land, which here formed a‘ ridge to the prairie. Woodville, un- 1?der the direction of Schmaus, pre-I t i. pared 40 acres for the wheat crop ' l e and the balance he. used for other l t grains and for Vegetables. Jack rabbits and prairie chickens é were abundant, and as “'ooelville". 0 was a g00d shot their table did not 1- lack for such delicacies. o l. i i . l I i . l I . . l h t 1 r t. \ The princess took great interest in all Woodville’s labor, and insisted in Te aiding him in his outdoor work, as well as performing in an unneglected \Vlty her household duties.

On the night of this latter day when Woodvillc reached his own cabin, he not only found no supper prepared for him. but he found the cabin empty and the fire out. A terrible blizzard was raging without which he had braved lightâ€" heart edly, feeling that he would soon be welcomed by food and warmth. 11c searched the frosty cabin for a moment in feVerish expectancy but there was no written word of where the companion of his privaâ€" tions had gone to.

But he found nothing and still no answer came to his cries. After what seemed to be to him an age, he found himself back to a spot near his cabin, which he reâ€" cognized by the lamp burning in the window.

She was still warm, but he could not feel . her heart: or pulse beat. How Vividâ€" i ly \Vill Curleton's poem came to him then, and how similar seemed the circumstances.

Excepting at the periods when she thought of his great crime she looked upon Woodâ€" ville as a hero, bearing the blunt of the hardships of such a life with in- describable courage and cheerfulness, truth and nobility being the di- rectors of all his impulses.

Perhaps a. new reciprocal kindness, unknown ed also this woman of refinement by birth and instinct, for a. news 0f gentleness seemed to have been knitted between them after the bliz- zard episode in which she had had a such a. narrow escape. Thus the winter passed, and the voice of the resurrection angel called on the spring to once more biess the L‘ui'lh with its promise. __.‘-Mfl L¢.-« -‘_. ‘ Beyond a severe Cold no permaâ€" nent illness had followed the prin- cess through her few hours’ sleep in the bliZszr-d’s drifts... With’ the, coming of spring the prin- cess knew that she would return ' to __ civilization to pay her vows to Lord W Saxray, so she had counted the..days as .the winter passed. .Not in tin): joyous expectancy of ”reaching" a. proâ€" E mised ecstacy as one Would: have :3 supposed, for this beautiful and re- fined young creature, on the founda- tion bed of pure gold, possessed many mystifying traits of character, and her counting of the days to keep in touch with the passing of time, was because she felt sorry to leave' Woodville, though she knew a poWer as changeless as the sea, would com-i pel her to do so. She had takcnl great interest in the incidents of their pioneer home. The sequestered, peaco, truth and grandeur of her! surroundings therein. in contrast to the Shams and mockery of fashion- able life, had touched her and allect- ed her greatly, and she had learned to love them with a deep, undefinâ€" able affection. The daily events of' their rude, retired existence she had become attached to because they had been a part of herself, and hadi been the used realitics of her ‘»':n t designs. The improving of the in-1 terior of the twin-roomed cabin, ‘ the planning for the progress of‘ things afield, and the endeavor to ' apply as much art: as possible in the 1 l cramped 1,)ossihilities of her house-l keeping duties had all interested her, i but to what extent she had becomei 1 attached to them she never compre-iI i hended until the time, arrived for her.; i to cast them all aside. WoodVille's ! i courage and intelligence in his un-i I 3 propitious environment had been little short of a revelation to her. Out of the most discouraging cir- cumstances he had made things re- markably comfortable for himself and for her, though her welfare had! been the impelling power that had spurred him onward. SaVe for the in- l cident in which he had chided her for . not attending to the rabbit traps, they had passed the days together in ' i the most harmonious manner, and l she had always been glad that that? , incident had occurred. it had draWni 1 them so much nearer together after-i ' ! wards. Though ostensibly making ' . herself believe that she was interest- 3 (ad in all Woodville's work and her 1‘; own, because when she left Wood- , ville she would like to know that he ~ 5 was comfortable, she had allowed 3 : herself to become attached to it all, V :in a. Very difierent manner to what El 3 she had believed. Excepting at the e ! periods when she thought of his g i great crime she looked upon Woodâ€" “ ' ville as a hero, bearing the blunt of r ‘ the hardships of such a life with in- “ 1 descrihable courage and cheerfulness, 01 truth and nobility being the diâ€" e 3 rectors of all his impulses. To the p ; Schmaus girls (who were iair and 3most intelligent young women) the '8 princess was sure Woodville was 3. 3f . hero too and that either of them id 1 would have been only too glad to Subscribe HAPPINESS INSURED by getting your marriage license from Thos.
