In a small Ontario town. He falls Into the water, and Is saved from possible death by clinging to Jean's outstretched arms. Neat day Jean Informs him that because of their adventure of tba day before he Is In duty bound to marry her. He acraes when tbay are "grownups." With Jean's brother John, also aged six, Frank begins school. Two years later they are joined by Jean and Frank's sister 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 Regtna 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 sup> plies, and In a wagon drawn by a yoke of oxen, and with a cow, the four arrive at their futur* homes. * CHAPTER V f OfliSUur*aa?*' K*t*Jatof, UiaaU m *•*n*»m»»' UUL MfeVMsunrs wmip IW.

As I came up from the stream where I had washed, I met Jean going down, wearing a blanket, Indian fashion, for lack of a bathrobe. A week on a dusty trail had made the presence of t&ow water, as deep as one wanted it, a peculiar luxury. "Gee, bat tt's good to be alive!" she exclaimed, swinging her arms, to the peril of her costume. "Does one al way? feel like this on the prairies?" "Always mildly Intoxicated, so Jake says, but those are not his words. That's why westerners are more optimistic-- and more reckless--than easterners. Always an atmosphere Jag under their belts." "Here's to Jake," she crledV'Hjive one with me!" as she took a great chestful of fresh air. "See you at breakfast--if. I'm sober enough!" That day, and those that followed, were busy, busy days. The oxen were tired and footsore with their long Journey, and we decided to let them rest, but Jack and I took no holiday. I was determined that on the very first day I would plant some crop on my farm, so I started at once to spade up land for a garden. By mid-afternoon I had spaded quite a sizable garden plot. Then I broke the clods as best I could and planted a few rows of potatoes. The following day I continued my digging, and that evening, with assistance from Jean and Marjorle, planted onions, carrots, beets, lettuce and radish. We agreed that by the third day the oxen should be ready for the road again, and Jack was away soon after sunrise of the bright spring morning. He took the trail for the railway station some thirty miles to the south, and the sound of his wagon rumbling over the soft earth came floating back on the breeze as a sort of accompaniment to the bellicose voice which Jack affected when he was ox-driving. My next effort was the digging of a cellar. The location of our shack had to be decided upon, and for this I called Marjorle and Jean into council. We agreed that It should be close to one brow of the ravine, and that Jack should build his close to the other, so that each would command an unbroken view of his neighbor. Perhaps even then we had some premonition of the specter of loneliness creeping down upon us through the night mists of the summer or the snow-wraiths of the blizzard, and already we were planning our lines of defense. "How many rooms will there be?" asked Jean. "Let me see--reception room, living room, parlor, dining room --you must at least have that" "We shall," I said, "and one door will lead Into them all. A room Is anything you call It. We can change the name as we change the purpose. One moment It Is kitchen, the next, living room, and so on." "Draw a plan of It," said Marjorle, turning up the planed side of a board. So I sat down and drew a plan, while the girls watched over my shoulders with as much lntentness as though I were an architect designing a palace. "The house will be one story," I explained, "and long, and narrow, because that is the simplest as well as the cheapest way to build It, and we are to be our own carpenters. The walls will be of shlplap, covered with matched siding, with tar paper between. The roof will be of two thicknesses of boards, bent to a gentle oval over a stout ridge-pole, and again with tar paper between. You have no Idea how much the West owes to tar paper. Wherever the new settler goes, goes tar paper. I would almost say," I continued, warming up to my subject, "that If a flag is ever needed for these western prairies It should be a banner of tar paper, nailed between two laths. 'Oh, say, does the tar paper banner still wave?"--you see, it has possibilities." "But Isn't It awfully smelly stuff?' said Jean, who bad a strain of delicacy In her that at times conflicted with her surroundings. "Ah, that Is one of Its chief virtues. You may %ot know yet, but you will learn--at least, so Jake assured me-- 1 that population Is not nearly so scarce 1 on the prairies as it seems. He says I !hllthe lnn,a*ea one of these little „r *!,°r ln*nany cases number literally mUUone. Minions. Wellur' »MrV Mp*r «* I scratched the outline of the In the sod with my shovel and 4nlu a cellar k the «nt« little plot. For a depth of nearly two | feet I dug through a brownish-black loam that turned easily and threw clean from the shovel. Then I struck ii sticky, yellow clay, and the going was much slower. But by the time we heard Jack's hoarse voice and his tired oxen clicking their hoofs up the trail on the evening of the set*- ond day I bad succeeded In making a hole which we agreed to call a cellar. Next day we set about our building in earnest There were no union "hours with us. We worked from early morning until after sunset and laid down our tools at last with affectionate reluctance. We were stiff and sore in every Joint and muscle; our hands were calloused and our finger nails were battered with misdirected energy, but our hearts were with the gods. I relate only absolute truth in saying that when our shack was finished we moved Into it with a sense of accomplishment such as perhaps no king ever knew amid the luxury of his palaces. As soon as our first building was finished we started a similar one for Jack and Jean. Then we built a little stable down In the gully for the oxen, the cow. the pig, and the hens; we Improved the crossing of the stream; we dug a well; we plowed a small area on each farm and planted It to oats, and then we vent on plowing for next season's crop; we bought a mowing machine and rake--on credit--and cut an ample supply of wild prairie hay for our winter needs. We had decided that, as fall came on, Jack and I, with the yoke of oxen, should make a pilgrimage Into the more settled districts with a view to getting work with some farmer, and so replenishing oar resources. It was a hot day in the middle of July when, up the trail from the south a speck grew out of the distance. Traffic did not often come our way, Aid Jack and I both stopped work in the Held to study its approach and to conjecture as to whom or what It might be. As we watched, the figure took the form of a horse and rider of heroic size charging down upon us literally out of the heavens. As it approached the mirage lost its Illusion and horse and rider came back to earth. By tills time we were sure that the glint of color which had seemed to dance vaguely about the figure had a basis in fact; there was no longer a doubt that an atom of scarlet was approaching along the trail. Leaving the oxen to their midday meditations we walked over to my shack, where Jean bad already joined" Marjorle. It could now be seen that the figure was approaching at a rapid gait, and Its outline, no longer blurred by the shimmering of the mirage, stood out sharp and clean against the distance. It was a mounted policeman. As he drew up beside us I had a sense of being In the presence of physical perfection. His horse, although wet over the flanks, showed little sign of fatigue; the dust of travel clung to the rider's sunburned face, but the smartness of his bearing and uniform was unimpaired. He saluted as he brought his horse to a standstill; then sprang lightly to the ground. "I see I am right," he said, addressing Marjorle and Jean. "Won't you Introduce me?" Marjorle was* the first to act, although I suspected, even then, that be had spoken more particularly to Jeag. "My brother, Frank," she said, "and Jean's brother, Jack. This Is Mr. Brook." We shook hands cordially, and Jean asked our visitor if be had had dinner. "I have not," he confessed, "but please don't go to any trouble." But the girls were already in the house, making preparations. "There's a stream around here. If my maps are right." the policeman continued, speaking to us, "and both Dick and I could do with water." We led him down to the stream, and to the well, and although I was disposed to be prejudiced against this strapping young fellow who seemed to take more than a casual Interest In Jean, I lost much of that prejudice through a little incident that happened when we reached the water. Although Brook was undoubtedly suffering from thirst he removed his horse's bit, so that he could drink in comfort, before be accepted the proffered cup of water which Jack brought him from the well. Jack and I spoke of It afterward and agreed that a chap who did that sort of thing was a good bit of a man. After a hearty drink Brook took off his hat and tunic, produced towel, soap, comb and brush, and cleaned np even more thoroughly than seemed necessary. As I watched him parting his hair by the reflection in the water I realized that Brook had not forgotten what so many of us pioneers often did forget--the value of personal appearance. While we walked up the bank together I admitted to myself that although I was as good a man as he was, I didn't look It. The meal which the girls had prepared loosened all our tongues, and before it was over we were chatting merrily. Brook had the latest gossip from Reglna, and' interesting news about himself. At last he had escaped from barracks, temporarily, at any rate. He was detailed to two months' relief duty at a point farther west; he promised himself another metil at our board on his way back, a prospect which Jean and Marjorle and Jack received with much satisfaction, and 1 trust I showed no smallness about it At length Brook insisted that he must be on his way, but before going he laid a dollar bill on the table in payment for his meal. We objected most strenuously to accepting money for our hospitality, but as be pointed out that it was the government that footed the bill, we allowed ourselves to be persuaded. Governments, like railways, are legitimate prey. Also, from somewhere,. the policeman produced a small box of candy, which he presented lm- I partially to Marjorle and Jean. But •hack I most Important In so far as this story began 1 la e( tWl'T By ROBERT STEAD jtmiboT of TWCW Hmmusdm" * WNU 8errlce CSpjilaht by Robert 8tsa4 string, with only the backs of the envelopes exposed, and on 'them was written in a bold band tbe single word "Spoof." "They're tor a young Englishman who is to be a neighbdr of yours," Brook explained. "He left word at the Regina post office, asking to have his mall sent out If there was any chancer It seems he bad some local fame under the name of Spoof, and the clerk li| the post office readdressed his letters, that way. That's discipline for you! My word, what they wouldn't do to a man In the force--" "I know him," I broke in; "at least I have heard of him. Jake, our land guide told us about him: Where does he settle?" * "Northwest quarter of Two," said the policeman.' "Two miles due south of you, as the crow flies, or would fly If he had occasion to. Spoof Isn't there yet--I came by the quarter this morning. I suppose he's traveling by ox team and will arrive some time later In the season. You'll see his sign up on Two when he gets here, and perhaps one of you wouldn't mind dropping In on him with this mall, if he doesn't call on you within a few days. He's English, and he may wait for an Introduction." We shook hands with the policeman and parted with him, and the girls stood watching the scarlet figure as it faded to a speck In the distance. "Isn't he wonderful, Frank?" said Jean, turning to jne with an enthusiasm dancing in her eyes which, under any other circumstances, It would have been good to see. "Don't you think that he--that all of the mounted police --are*very wonderful?" "All of the mounted police are wonderful," I agreed, catching at tbe Impersonal noun. Two mornings later we saw the white gleam of a tent on section Two. We quit work early that afternoon, hitched the oxen to the wagon, and went down en masse to call on Spoof. He saw as when we were yet a^pr He Saluted as He Brought HI* Horse to a Standstill. was a bundle of letters. •The* wen tied together with a stout off, and, when It was evident we were headed for his tent, he came striding out to meet us. He was tall and slim and sunburned; he wore leggings and corduroy trousers and a belt, and he took off his hat when he saw the girls. "My first callers," _ he said. In his clear, English voice. "This is jolly decent of you. Won't you get down, ladles, and visit my farm--this Is It all around here--while we unhitch the bullocks and turn them to grass I Ruspect you are my neighbors from Fourteen?" "Fourteen and Twenty-two," said I, acting as spokesman, and Introducing our little party. "We have heard of you, but only as Spoof." "Spoof is'good enough. In fact I think it is rather a ripping name, dop't you? And I know enough already about the West to know that a catchy nickname, once applied, sticks. So Spoof I am, to everybody, except the dear folks at home, who, of course, could never understand. When I wrote the governor and said the people here called me Spoof he answered, 'Such Insolence! I'd have the law on them! Remember you are still an Englishman!' Poor old governor!" "Here are some letters, Mr, Spoof," said Jean, extending the little bundle. Mr. Brook, the policeman, left them as he rode by a few days ago." pood old post office!" Spoof exclaimed. "Wonderful how they chase a beggaf ddwn, isn't ltt They even know me by my Canadian name. Good old P. O." ^ - Spoof made us come into his tent. The furnishings were not elaborate, but they had a little air of something that seemed to be missing In« ours. There was a tin trunk, which had been sat on until It had a great depression in tbe top, and a leather trunk, generously plastered with labels. There was a great box, which be used as a table, and dishes of inappropriately delicate china. There was a folding cot with steamer rugs. Quite a handsome shaving set was strapped to a wall of the tent and a great cartridge belt with a prodigious revolver hung from a tent pole, while a rifle leaned against It. Spoof evidently meant to sell his life dearly. If there should be any demand for it. Three or four English magazines lay about, and a tobacco Jar with pipes stood In the center of the table. But what caught Jean's eyes were the pictures on the walls. Spoors tent was up lessthan a day, and there were pictures on tbe walls. "This is my diggings," onr hostVas saying. "A little crowded inside, but plenty of room outside. The law of compensation, jm know. Have to do for the present Beastly expensive business fanning. We'll have some tea presently, if there's any spirit left In the spirit lamp. Sorry I can't offer you anything better." So he rattled on and made us feel very much at home, even while I found rising in my heart some yearning of sympathy for him. The sun was setting when our little caravan started homeward, casting Its mammoth shadows across the soft, warm prairies, and bearing Spoofs promise to return our visit at the earliest opportunity. - CHAPTER VI Spoof was as good as his word. The following Sunday we saw his ox team as a slowly-growing speck on section Eleven, and a mile away we heard remarks to the "bally bullocks" which, presumably, were intended to be confidential. , , "I Just brought the bullocks for exercise," he explained, when he drew up before our shack. **I could have walked much easier, and much quicker, but they keep my arms and voice In form." The girls were waiting In the shade at the eastern side of the shack; in their Sunday dresses of flimsy stuff appropriate to the hot weather they looked very sweet and charming. "Ah, here are the ladles," said Spoof, and In his manner there was a touch of gallantry that in some way seemed foreign to either Jack or me. "Real prairie roses, and no mistake," as he took their hands in his. "It's jolly decent to ask a stranger over. All this out-of-doors; dawns, sunsets, sky, distance--all very fine, but it Isn't good to be too much alone1 with it Rather overwhelms one, don't you think r "I have felt that," said Jean, while Marjorle was fumbling for words. "It's too grand; It oppresses one. It's --It's all soul; no body." "Thatv8 It--that's it!" Spoof agreed. "All soul--no body. I shall write that to the governor. The governor, dear old chap, thlnkB this country Is rather a bit off the map. I have promised to shoot him a polar bear for Christmas, and he's quite looking forward to It He writes to know if I find the native labor satisfactory, and can my man mix a decent whisky and soda. I must set his mind at rest. I let him think I ran quite an establishment you understand; he sends a check now and again, which, of course, bears a relationship to the position I am supposed to occupy In local society." "Doesn't your conscience trouble yon?" Marjorle queried, the conversation having swung Into her orbit "Not a£. alL I am doing the governor a kindness. He spends rather too much money on whisky and soda-- particularly the former--so I am merely getting him Interested In another kind of extravagance. A Younger Son Is a very successful form of extravagance, don't you think? What Is it Kipling says--'By the bitter road the Younger Son must tread,' or something like that? So why shouldn't the governor sweeten the bitter road a little, and drink less whisky to his soda?" While we were busy thinking of some appropriate remark Spoof remembered his bundle of papers. "I ventured to bring these over," be said, tendering them to Jean. "Just some old copies of the Illustrated London News and the Graphic. There are some sketches by an artist showing his conception of homestead life. I rather suspect the governor has let him read my letters." Presently the conversation turned to agriculttiral topics, and we were more at ease. "My plowing," Spoof explained, "has gone better since I discarded my compass. The bullock^never took kindly to the compass. No doubt It was a foolish notion* of mine that a furrow should run either east and west or norfh and south, seeing that the whole farm has to be plowed anyway. I now let them veer and tack as they please, and we are making considerable headway." . t ;vw. "Any crop In?* "Not this yean Jnpbap In Regina advised me to plant a sack of rolled oats apd raise my own porridge, but, thank Heaven, I'm not Scotch. No reflection on the Scotch," he added hurriedly, noting a warning flash In Marjorle's eyes. "They are a very wonderful people. They eat oatmeal, and thrive on It • very wonderful people. Oh, I sayt Can't we have some tea? Beastly dry business, homesteadlng; no afternoon tea. I must speak to my man about that He's the same man as mixes my whisky and sodas, according to the governor's Idea of it," Spoof explained. The girls went inside, and In a short while brought out tea and sandwiches. "Do you know," said Spoof, when the girls had cleared up the tea things and were out of hearing, "the thing of which I stand most In need at the present moment--that thing which is so essentially English, and from which I have been divorced for more days than I care to number--that thing for which I would gladly give half of my kingdom, meaning the northwest quarter of section Two? No? Observe the blusheo beneath my sunburned cuticle as I admit that for weeks I have not had a bath. For weeks, literally. If my poor governor could know that not even the hide of a polar bear would reconcile him to leaving me to live the life of a savage." "We can soon fix that--I mean, we can furnish the wherewithal," said I, "and I will expect the deed of eighty acres In return." So we led Spoof down to the pond. "My word, my word!" said 8poof. "Why didn't Jake tell me abont this? I will have that land guide's gizzard for this omission I My word. If only I had a bathing suit! I say, do you think there would be any great danger-- any danger at all, that is--of an Interruption?" "Not a bit Wi have that all organized," and I showed him a red handkerchief tied to a stick. "When the pond is in urn we fly this banner on the bank of the gully, and we're as safe as Sunday. The girls usually have their plange in the middle of the afternoon, for that matter, and leave us undivided possession In the en* ning." ; Spoof was already half undressed. 'My word, and do the young ladies swim ?" "Jean is the best swimmer I ever knew," I confessed, modestly. "We lived beside a river at home, and she had a way of bagging all the prise* at our swimming races." "She bagged bigger game than that," Jack put in. "She stored up a lot of trouble for herself and the rest of us by pulling our worthy Frank out of Ihe millpond one day, after the bubVles had begun to come." So then I had to tell Spoof about that Incident. BiA I avoided reference to the pledge ttaht had followed It. 'whnii starts. IthasaOof the; fprandmothar'kmastard (fester Wltlt OUT tits blister.

Cheap for $1^200 A western young man visiting Ne*» York city thought It would be fine to buy his sweetheart's engagement ring there. Entering a Fifth avenue store he was waved from one lordly clerk to another down a long aisle and at last reached the counter where there was a personage who sold engagement rings. "Here are some rather neat rings," said the distinguished one. "Small, of course, but in good taste." Our young friend liked their looks, but was pained to learn they ran from $3,500 to $5,000 apiece. He admitted, In some confusion, that be wished something a little cheaper.

In turn based upon marriage by consideration, where the sultot had to give to the father of his intended wife a bride price or present and the daughter was provided with a dowry as a return gift The price for a bride shows considerable variation, according to the wealth of the interested parties and the accomplishments of the bride. Among certain tribes a couple of pigs or goats seemed to be sufficient capital necessary for investment in one good husky helpmate. Among tbe Bedouins of Mount Slnal Weetermareh tells us the price of a girl Is "from $5 to $20," but sometimes amounts to $80 "if tbe girl is well connected and vetty handsome."
