a cam. roB HXLP.
ON the following morning, while
they were busy packing for
the Journey to Sulphur, Red
field rolled up to the door In
company with a young man in the uni
form of a forester.
' "Go ask It eddy to come In," com
manded Ll.e. "I want to see him."
Itedfleld met the girl nl the door and
presented his companion as "Mr. Dal
ton, district forester." Dalton was a
tall young fellow with a marked soutb
ru accent. "Is Cavauagu, the ranger,
In town?" he asked.
"No," Lee replied, with effort; "he
. was here a few days ago, but he's
gone back to the forest."
Redfleld studied the girl with keen
gaze, perceiving a passionate restraint
In her fuco.
"Dow is your mother?" he asked po
litely. Lee smiled faintly. "She's able to
nit up. Won't you come In and see
her?"
"With pleasure," assented Itedfleld,
"but I want to see you alone. 1 have
omethlng to say to you." lie turned
to his superior. "Just go into the cafe,
Dalton. I'll see you in a moment."
Let Virginia, hitherto ashamed of
the house, the furniture, the bed ev
erything led the way without a word
of apology. It was all detached now
something about to be left behind, like
a bad garment borrowed In a time of
tress. Nothing mattered alnce Boss
did not return.
Llze, looking unwontedly refined and
irentla, was sitting In a big rocking
chair with her feet on a stool, her
yea fixed on the mountains, which
bowed through the open window. All
the morning a sense of prcfound
cbang, of something passing, bad op
pressed ber. Now that she was about
to leave the valley Its charm appealed
to ber. She was tearing up a multi
tude of tiny roots of whose existence
she bad hitherto remained unaware.
""I belong here," she acknowledged sl
8ontly. "I'd be homesick anywhere
lse on God's earth. It's rough and
fly bit and all that, but so am I. I
wouldn't fit In anywhere that Lee be
longed." She acknowledged an especial liking
lor Itedfleld, and she had penetration
enough, wordly wisdom enough, to
knew that Lee belonged more o his
world than to her own and that his
guidance and friendship were worth
niore, much more, than that of all tbe
rest of the country, ber own Included.
Therefore ahe aaid: "I'm mighty glad
to see you. Roddy. Sit down. You've
got to hear my little spiel this time."
Itedfleld, perched on the edge of a
tawdry chair, looked about (like the
charity visitor In a slum kitchen) with
out intending to express disgust, but
It waa dismal room in which to be
nick, and be pitied the woman the
more profoundly as he remembered
her In the days when "all outdoors"
was noue too wide for her.
Llze began abruptly: "I'm down,
but not out In fact, I was coming up
to see you this afternoon. Lee and I
are Just about pulling out for good."
"Indeed! Why not go back with
HM5?"
"You can take the girl back If you
want to, but now that I'm getting my
chance at you I may not go."
Redfleld's tone was entirely cordial
as be turned to Lee. "I came hoping
to carry you away. Will you come?"
"I'm afraid I can't unless mother
goes," she replied sadly.
Llze waved an imperative band.
"Fade away, child. I want to talk
with Mr. Itedfleld alone. Go -sec"'
Tbus dismissed, Lee went back to
tlte restaurant, where ahe found tbe
forester Just sitting down te bis lunch
eon. "Mr. Redfleld will be out In a
tew minutes," she explained.
"Won't you Join me?" be asked In
the frank accent of one to whom wom
en are comrades. "The supervisor bus
been tolling me ubout you."
She took a seat faring him. feeling
omethlng refined In his long, smooth-
)y stiavrn. boyish face. He seemed
very young to be district foresfer. and
his eyes were u soft brown, with small
wrinkles or laughter playing round
their corners.
He began at once ou the subject of
his visit "Uedtleld tells me you are n
friend of Mr. Cavanagh's. Did you
know that he had resigned?"
She faced him with startled eyes.
"No, Indeed. Has he done so?"
"Yes. The supervisor got a letter
yesterday Inclosing his resignation
and asking to be. relieved at once.
And when I heard of It 1 asked the
htiervlsor to bring ine down to seo
blm. He's too good a tint u to lose."
"Why did he resign?"
"He seemed very bitter over the
chief's dismissal. Itut I hope to per
minde him to slay In the service. He's
too viiluable a man to lose Just now,
when Hie wur Is so hot. I realize that
uljir;- JsU.ij sjiiall. Uul there, are
er places for him. Perhapc when
he knows that I have a special note
to hiui from the chief he will recon
sider. He's iiite capable of the su
pervisor's position, and Mr. Itedfleld Is
willing to resign lit his favor. I'm
telling yw all this because Mr. Red
fleld h:ts told me of your iuteresl iu
Mr. Cavanagh. or. rather, bis interest
In you."
8a in Gregg, entering the door at this
moment, camo directly to the forest
er's table. He was followed by the
sheriff, a bearded old man with a soil
ed collar a ud a dim eye.
Gregg growled out, "You'd better
keep your umn Cavanagh In the bills,
Mr. Forester, or somebody will take a
pot shot at him."
"Why, what's wwr
"ills assistant la down with small
pox." "Smallpox!" exclaimed Dalton. .
Every jaw was fixed anl every eye
turned upon the speaker.
"Smallpox!" gasped Lee,
Gregg resumed, enjoying the sensa
tion he was creating. "Yes, that
Basque herder of mine, tbe one up
near Black Tooth, sent word be was
sick, ao I hunted up an old tramp by
the name of Kdwui'dj to take bis place.
Edwards found the dago dying of oi
and skipped out over the range, leav
ing him to die alone. Cavanagh weut
up and found the dago dead and took
care of blm. itesuli Is he's full of
germs and has brought his apprentice
down with it. and both of 'em must be
quarantined right where they are."
"Good heavens, man," exclaimed
Dalton,. "this is serious business! Are
you sure It's sniullpox?"
"One of my men came from there
last night I was there myself on
Monday; so was the deputy. The sher
iff missed Tom this morning, but I
reached him by phone, and Cavanagh
admitted to us that the Husque died
of smallpox and that he burled him
with his own hands."
The sheriff spoke up. "The criminal
port of it l:i this, Mr. Dalton Cava
nagh didn't report the case when be
came down here, Just when ubout leav
ing a trail of poison. Why didn't he
report It? He should be arrested."
"Wait a moment," said Dalton. "Per
baps it wasn't pox; perhups It was only
mountain fever. Cavauugh is not the
kind of man to involve others In a
pestilence. I reckon he knew it was
nothing but a fever, and, not wishing
to alarm his friends, he Just slid Into
town and out again."
A flash of light, of heat, of Joy, wen
through Lee's heart as she listened to
Daltou's defense of Cavanagh. "That
was the reason why he rode away,"
she thought. "He was afraid of bring
ing harm to us." And this conviction
lighted her face with a smile even
while the fo-ester continued his sup
position by saying. "Of course proper
precautious should be taken, and as
we are going up there the supervisor
and 1 will see that a quarantine is es
tablished if we find it necessary."
Gregg was not satisfied. "Cavanagh
admitted to the deputy and to me flint
he believed the case to be smallpox
and said that he bad destroyed the
camp and everything connected with
It except the horse and the dog. and
yet he comes down here, Infecting ev
pry body he meets." He turned to Lee.
"You'd better burn the bed he slept
on. He's left a trail of germs wher
ever he went. I soy the man Is crlni
Innllv liable and should be Jailed if
he lives to get back to town."
Lee's mind was off now on another
tangent "Suppose It Is true?" she
asked herself. "Suppose he bas fallen
sick bwd) up there, miles and miles
from any aurse or doctor
"There's something queer about the
whole business," pursued Gregg. "For
instance, who is this assistant he's
got? Johnson said there was an old
man In ranger uniform pottering round.
Why didn't, he send word by him?
Why did he let me come to the door?
He might have involved me In the (lis
ease. I tell you, If you don't take care
of him the people of the county will.
The forester looked grave, "If be
knew It was smallpox and failed to
report It ho did wrong, but you say
he took care of this poor shepherd
nursed him till he died and burled
him, taking all precautious. You can
complain of that, can you? That's
the act of a good ranger and a brave
man. You wouldn't have done It!" he
ended, addressing Gregg. "Sickness
up there two full miles above sea ravel
Is quite a different proposition from
sickness In Sulphur City or tbe Fork
I shall not condemn Mr. Cavanagh till
1 bear his aide of the story."
Lee turned a grateful glance upon
him. "You must be right I don't be
lleve Mr. Cavanagh would deceive any
one."
"Well, we'll soon know the truth,"
said Dnlton. "for I'm going up there.
If tbe ranger bas been exposed be
must not bo left alone,"
"He ain't alone," declared the sher
iff. "Tom phoned me that he had aa
j assistant"
"Sweneon, I suppose,' said Redfleld,
wu0 entered at thla moment. ''Swen

.nnHmiMl "hut T nndprsrnnfl tha den.
uty to say that he was an old man."
"Swenson Is a young man." correct
ed Redfleld.
The sheriff insisted. "Tom said It
was an old man a stranger to him
tall, smooth shaven, not very strong,
he said 'pea red to be a cook. He luid
helped nurse the dago, so Tom sold."
"That's very curious." mused Red
fleld. "There Isn't an oVd man In the
service of this forest There's a mis
take somewhere."
"Well," concluded Gregg, "that's
what lie said I thought nt first It
might be that old Imlto L'thvanK but
this feller being In uniform and smooth
shnven"- His face changed; his
voice deepened. "Say, I believe it w as
Ivdwaid- -"i-J'irthernioru Edward
1 the convict that Texas marshal was
after tbe other day, uuJ tUU man
Cavanagh your prize ranger Is har
boring him."
"What nonsense!" exebimed Red
field.
The sheriff banged bis hand upon
the table. "That's the whole mystery
I see it all now. He's up there con
cealing this man. He's given out this
smallpox scare Just to Keep the otfl
cere away from him. Now you've got
it!"
The thunder in his voice drew to
ward blm all those who remained In
the dining room, and Lee found her
self ringed about by a dozen excited
men, but she did not flinch. She was
too deeply concerned over Cavanagh's
fate to be afraid, and, besides, Red
fleld and the forester were beside her.
The supervisor was staggered by
Gregg's accusation and by certain con
firmatory facts In bis own jwssewslon,
but he defended Cavanagh bravely.
"You're crazy," he replied. "Why
should Ross do such a foolish thing?
What Is bis motive? What Interest
would he have in this man Edwards,
whom you call a tramp? He can't be
a relative and certainly not a friend
of Cavanagh's, for you say he is a
convict Come, now, your hatred of
Cavanagh has gone too fur."
Gregg was somewhat cooled by this
dash of reason, but replied: "I don't
know what relation be Is. but these
are facts. He's concealing an escaped
convict, and he knows it."
Dnlton put In a quiet word. "What
is tbe use of shouting a Judgment
against a man like Cavanagh before
yon know the facts? He's one of the
best and ablest rangers on this forest
I don't know why he has resigned.
but I'm sure"
Has he resigned?" asked Gregg ea
gerly.
"He has."
"A good Job for blm. I was about to
circulate a petition to have him re
moved."
"If all the stockmen In the valley
had signed a petition against him ii
wouldn't have done any good," re
plied Dnlton. "We know a good man
when we see him. I'm here to offer
him promotion, not to punish him."
Lee, looking about at the faces of
these men and seeing disappointment
In their faces, lost the keen sting of
her own humiliation. "In the midst of
such a fight as this how can he give
time or thought to me?" Painful as
the admission was, she was forced to
admit that she was a very bumble
factor in a very large campaign. "But
suppose he falls 111!" Her face grew
white and set and ber lips bitter.
"That would be the flnnl tragic touch,"
she thought, "to have blm come down
of a plague from nursing one of Sam
Gregg's sheep herders." Aloud she
said: "Ills resignation comes Just In
time, doesn't it? He enn now be sick
without loss to the service."
Dalton answered her. "The super
visor bas not accepted his resignation.
On the contrary, 1 shall offer him a
higher position. His career as a for
ester Is only beginning He would be
foolish to give up the work now. when
the avenues of promotion are Just
opening. I can offer him very soon
the supervision of a forest."
As they talked Lee felt herself sink
ing the while her lover rose. It was
all true. The forester was right.
Ross wo capable of any work they
might detiand of him. He was too
skilled, to? Intelligent, too manly, to
remain In the forest, heroic as Ita du
ties seemed.
C(hju this discussion Llze, hobbling
painfully, appeared. With a cry of
surprise Lee rose to meet her.
"Mother, you must not do this!"
She waved her away. "I'm all
right," she said, "barring tbe big mar
Lies in my slippers." Then she turned
to Dalton. "Now, what's it nil about?
Is it true that Ross Is down?"
"No. So far as we know, be Is
well." .
"Well, I'm going to find out I don't
Intend to set here and have blm up
there without a cook or a nurse."
At this moment "a TuTl,TuIr young
fellow, dressed in a ranger's uniform,
entered the room and made bis way
directly to the spot where Lee, bur
mother and Redfleld were standing.
"Mr. Supervisor, Cavanagh bas sent
me to tell you that be needs a doctor.
He's got a sick man up at tbe station,
and he's afraid lt'a a case of small
pox." He turned to Lee. "He told
me to tell you that he would have
written, only be was afraid to even
aend a letter out"
"What does he need?" asktd Red
fleld. "He needs medicine and food, a doc
tor, and be ought to have a nurse."
"That'a my Job." said Llze.
"Nonsense!" said Redfleld. "You're
not fit to ride a mile, I won't hear of
your going."
"You wait and see. I'm going, and
you can't slop me."
"Who is the man with him?" asked
the forester.
"I don't know an old herder, he
aid. He said be could take care of
blm all right for the present, but that
If he were taken down himself
Lee's mounting emotion broke from
ber in a llrtle cry. "Oh, Mr. Redfleld,
please let me go too! I want to help!
I must help!"
Itedfleld said: "I'll telephone to Sul
phur City and ask Brooks to get a
nurse and come down as soon as pos
sible. Meanwhile I'll go out to see
what the conditions are."
"I'm going, too, I tell you," announc
ed Ll.e. "I've had the cussed dis
ease, nnd I'm not afraid of It. We
bad three sieges of It In my family.
You get me up there, anil I'll do the
rear.'
"Hut you ore 111."
"I was. but I'm not now." Her voice
was tinner than It had been for days

Ross Cavanagh has been like a sou to
me for two years. He's the one man
In this country I'd turn my hand over
for barring yourself, Reddy and it's

In spite of all opposition she bad
ber way. Returning to her room to
get such Nothing as she needed for
ber stay in the hills, she waited for
Redfleld to send a carriage to her. "I
can't ride a horse no more," she sor
rowfully admitted.
Lee's secret was no secret to any one
there. II er wide eyes and heaving
breast testified to the profound atlr in
ber heart. She was in an anguish of
fear lest Rosa should already be In

Uffll TO KNOW HUT
CROSSINGS ARE MOT IN
Has Been a Year Now Since the
Crossing Hat Been Removed
for a Better One.
Editor of the, Journal:
When the people elected Coun
cilman Wills t hey expected the
avenue fixed, which he has done
in fairly pood shape. At that time
we hail hoard crossings that were
kept in pretty good condition and
we could gel across, and as soon
as he could he took I he hoard
crossings out ami named ( twin
'i way and since Unit time we have
had no crossing and after a rain
we can hardly get over the avenue,
ami when our women and children
want to go down town or go to
church they liat to wade iu the
mud and can hardly gel across.
Mr. Wills promised us good,
permanent crossing, which lie has
failed to give ns; iu fact, al two
different times he ordered stone
put in and countermanded (he
order, and il is a shame that we
have to wade in the mud tifler
every rain. He can gel money for
other purposes on the avenue, hut
cannot get any for crossings. Who
is to hlnme? The council order
ed sidewalks put in west o! the
avenue on Mnrhle street. Are
they going to let their order he
ignored? They could have it
done and taxed o the properly.
We have waited patiently for
something to he done and we want
to know when these promises will
he made good.
I have lived in the Third ward
for more than thirty ears and
the people who pay the taxes
have never been treated so badly:
only n few have teams or auto
mobiles. I think we should have
good crossings ami sidewalks. If
they were put in good condition
we might gel free delivery, hut as
long as our rro.ing and side
walks are left in the condition
they are the government will not
allow ils employes to wade the
mud. No city in Nebraska half
the size of ours has such poor
crossings and sidewalks.
