ROMANCE OF TfiE I BEAR TOOTH RANGE By HAMLIN GARLAND Hamlin Grlnd To his discerning eye "the tourist" now became "a lunger." "Where do you live when you're to home?" "Connecticut." "1 knew iu" TIow did you know it?" The youth seemed reaily interested to know. "1 drove another fellow up here last fall that dealt out the same kind of brogue you do." l'.i'l was prevented at the moment from pursuing this line of inquiry by the discovery of a coi'ple of horsemen racing from a distant ranch toward the road. It wn.s plain, even to the stran per. that they intended to intercept the since, and Hill plied the la-h will sudden vhgor. "I'll give 'em a chase," said he primly. The other .ippeared a lit lie alarmed "What are they, bandits?" "Hand its."' sneered I'd 11. "Your eye sight is piercing. Them's girls." The traveler apologised. "My eye aren't very phm1." he said hurriedly. lie was. however, quite justified in his mistake, for both riders wore witlf rimmed sombreros and rode astride at a furious pace, bandanas lluttetiug skirts streaming, and one was callinc in shrill command. " h. Hilir' As they Jieand the gate the drive: drew up with a word f surprise "Why. howdy, girls? Howdy?" be said with an assumption of innoeic "Were you wishin fer to speak tome? " h. sbut up!" commanded one ol the girls, a round faced, freckled romp "You know perfectly well that I'errif is going h ir,e today. We told you ah about, it yesterday." "Sure thing!" exclaimed "Rill. "I'd forgot all about it." "Like not bin" ! exclaimed the maid "Y'ou've lH-en count in' the hours tili you got here. .1 know you." Meanwhile her companion had dip ped fr--m her horse. "Well, good by. Molly. V.M: 1 could stay longer." "Goodliy. Hun down again." "I will. You come up." The young passenger sprang to the ground and io!itoly said: "May I helf I you in?" Kill stared, the girl smiled, and tier companicn called: "He careful. Herrie. don't hurt yourself, the wagon might pitch." The youth, perceiving that he had made another mistake, stammered an apology. The girl perceived his embarrass ment and sweetly accepted his hand. "I am much obliged, all the same." Hill shook with malicious laughter. "Out in the country girl: are war ranted to jump (lean over a measly little hack like this." he explained. The girl took a seat in the back cor ner of the duty vehicle, and Hill open ed conversation with her by asking what kind of a time she had lieen hav ing "in the east." "Fine." said she. "Iid ye get as far back as my old town?" "What town Is that. Hill?" oil. come off! You know I'm from Omaha." "No; 1 only got as far as South Hend." The picture which the girl had made as she dashed up to the pasture gate her hat rim blown away from bet brown face and sparkling eyes united with the kindliness in her voice as she peeepted his gallant aid. entered a deer impression on the tourist's mind, but he did not turn ids head to look at her -perhaps he feared Hill's eIlow quite as much as his guffaw but be listeneo closely, and by listening learned that she had been "east" for several weeks. and aiso that she was known, and f.i-j vorablj- known, all along the line, for whenever they met a team or passed a ranch some one called out. "Hello. Herrie!" in cordial salute, and the men. old niid youug. were especially pleased to Kee her. Meanwhile the stage rose and foil over the gigantic swells like a tiny boat on a monster sea. while the sun blazed ever more fervently from the splendid sky. and the hi! 1.5 plowed with ever increasing tumult of color, Throijgb i this land of color, of re;jse. of ro m:ince. t!e youug traveler rode, drink 1ng deep of the germless air. feelim. that the girl Irebind him was a won drous port of this wild and unaccount able country. He bad no chance to study her fno ngnin till the coach rolled down tlte hill to "Yancy's." a ranch house, where they were to take dinner and change horses With intent to sfcrw Bill that he did jot greatly fear his smiles the youth sprang down and ohcred a hand to as tist his charming fellow passenger to alight, and she. with kindly under standing, again accepted his nfd. to Bill's chagrin, and they walked up the path side by side. "This is all very new and wonderful to me." the young man said Iu expla nation, "but 1 suppose it's quite com monplace to jou and Hid." "Oh. no it's ho:ne!" "You were bore here?" "No, 1 was born in the east, but I've th ed here ever since 1 was three years t.ld." "Hy cast you mean Kansas?" ".No. Missouri," the laughed back at him. She was talli-r than most women rind gave out an air of line unconscious health which made her good to see, al though her face was too broad to be pretty. She smiled easily, and her teeth were white and even. Her hand he noticed was as strong as steel and brown as leather. Her neck rose from her shoulders like that of an acrobat, and sh? walked with the sense of se curity which comes from self reliant strength. She was met at the door by old lady Ynncy, who pumped her hand up and down, exclaiming: "My stars! I'm glad to see ye bad;! 'Hears like the country is just naturally goiu' to the dogs with out you. The dance last Saturday was a frost, so I hear no snap to the fid dlin". no gimp to the jiggiu". It shore ly was pitiful." Yancy himself, tall, grizzled, suc cinct, shook her hand in his turn. "Ma's right, girl, the country needs ye. I'm sea ml every time ye go away fer fear some feller will snap ye up." The young tourist he signed W. W. Noreross in Yancy's register wat' hed her cloely nd listened to every word X; The Girl Cehlrd Him Was a Wondrous Part of This Wild and Unaccountable Country. she spoke with an intensity of interest which led Mrs. Yancy to say privately: ""Hears like that young 'lunger' ain't goin' to foigit ye if lie can help it." "What makes jhu think he'a a 'lun ger?' " "I'on't haf to think. One look at him is enough." Thereafter a softer light the light of pity shone in the eyes of the girl. "I'oor fellow! He does look kind o peaked. Hut this climate will bring him up to the scratch,"' she added, with optimistic faith in her beloved hills. A moment later the downcotr.ing stage pulled in loaded to the side lines, and everybody on it seemed to know Korea McFrirlano. It was hello here and hell. there find how are ye be tween, with smacks from the women and open cries of "Pass it around"" on the p;!it of the men. till Noreross mar veled at the display. "She seems a great favorite," he ob served to Yancy. "Who Herrie? She's the whole works up at Hctr Tooth. Good tli'msc she don't want to go to congroscs she'd lay Jim Worthy on the shelf." Keren's popularity was not so re markable as her manner of receiving ft. She took it all as a sort of joke a good, kindly joke. She shook hands with her male admirers and smacked the cheeks of her feniale friends with an nir of nfo-st deprecation. "Oh. you don't mean it." wjis one of her phrases. She enjoyed this display of afTeet 'on. bt it seemed riot to toui b her deeply, and her impartial, humor ous a.-ceptanee of the courtship of the men was equally charming, though this w is due. according to remark, to the claims of some rancher np the line. She continued f b the ' thme of conversntioTi at th dinner table and yet remained unembarrassed and gave hack quite as good as she received. "If I was Cliff." declared one lanky admirer. "I'd bp shot if I let you out of my sight. It ain't safe." She smiled broadly. "I don't feel frired." "Oh. you're all right! It's the other feller like m that gt hurt." The north brwmd conch got nwny f rt. nnd as thu girl enm out to take her place Noreross said. "Won't you have my seat with the driver?" She dropped her voire humorously. No. thank you. I caa't f.tud for Bill'? clask." Noreross understood. She didn't rei- .h the notion of being so close to the Traukly amorous driver, who neglect ed no opportunity to be personal. Therefore he helped her to her seat !nidi and resumed his place in front. Dill, now broadly corumuhk-aave. minutely detailed his tastes in food, horses, liquors and saddlers in a mono logue which would! have been tiresome to any one but an imaginative yoUL.g eastern fctudent. Kill had a vast know ledge of the wesi. but a distress ing habit of repetition. Iu this Informing way some ten miles Were traversed, the ro:;d climbing ever higher and the mountains to right auJ left increasing iu grandeur each hour, till of a sadden and in a dee valley On the bank of another swift stream they came upon a squalid saloon and n minute posiolTice. This was the town of Moskow. H.ll. lum!erir.g down over the wheel, took a bag of mail from the lot and dragged it into the cabin. The girl rose, stretched herself ami said: "This stag in' is slow business. I'm cramped. I'm going to walk ou ahead." "May I go with you?" asked Nor eross. "Sure thine! Come along." As they crossed the Utile pole bridge which spanned the flood the tourist exclaimed: "What exquisite water! It's like melted opals." "Comes right down from the snow," she answered, impressed by the poetry of his simile. He would gliidly have lingered, lis tening to the song of the water, lfut as she passed on he followed. The opjo site hill was sharp r.nd the road stony, but as they reached the top the young easterner called out. "See the savins!" Kefore them stood a prove of cedars, old, gray and drear, as weirdly impres sive as the cacti In a Mexican desert. Torn by winds, scarred by lightnings, deeply rooted, tenacious as tradition, unlovely as Kgypiian mummies, fantas tic, dwarfed and blackened, these un accountable creatures clung to the ledges. "Whs'.t d you suppose planted those trees there?" The girl was deeply impressed by the novelty of this query. "I never thought to ask. 1 reckon they just grew." "No. there's n reason for all these plantings," he Insisted. "We don't worry ourselves much about such things out here," she? re plied, with charming humor. "We don't even worry about the weather. We Just takethings as they come." They walked on talking with new in timacy. "Where is your home?" he asked. "A few miles out of Hear Tooth. Yon are from the east. Hill says 'the far cast.' we cali it." "From New Haven. I've just finished at Yale. Have you ever been in a city?" "Oh. yes! I 50 to Denver once in awhile, and I saw St. Kotiis once, but I was only a yearling and don't remem ber much atout it. What are you do ing out here, if if a fair question?" lie looked away at the mountains. "I pot rather used up last spring, and my diK-tor said I'd letter come out here for awhile ami build up. I'm going up to Meeker's mill. Io you know where that is?" "I know every stovepipe in this park," rhe answered. "Joe Meeker is kind o' related to me uncle by marriage. He lived about fifteen miles over the hill from Hear Tooth." This fact seemed to bring thera FtiU closer together. "I'm glad of that." he said pointedly. "Perhaps I shall le permitted to see you now and again? I'm going to le lonesome for awhile, I'm afraid." Tion"t you believe it! Joe Meeker's boys will keep you interested." she as sured him. The stage overtook them at this ioint and Hill surlily remarked. "If you'd been alone, young feller, I'd 'a give you a chase." His resentment of the outsider's growing favor with the girl was ludicrously evident. As they rose into the higher levels the asien shook its yellowish leaves in the breeze and the purple foothills gained in majesty. Great new peaks came into view on the right, and the lofty cliffs of the Hear Tooth range loomed in naked grandeur high above the blue preen of the pines which cloth ed their sloping eastern sides. At intervals the road passed small log ranches crouching low on the banks of creeks, but aside from these and the sparse animal life around them no sign of settlement could le seen. The valley lay as it had lain for thou sands of years, reieatlng its forests ns the meadows of the lower levels send forth their anuual prasses. Noreross sail to himself. "I have circled the track of progress and have re-entered the lorder America, where the stage coach ia still the one stirring thing be neath the sun," At last the driver, with a note of ex ultation, called out. "Grab a root, every body; it's all the way down hill and time to feed." And so as the dusk came over the mighty spread of the hills to the east and the peaks to the west darkened from violet to purple black the stage rumbled and rattled and rushed down the winding road through thiekeumg signs of civilization and just at night fall rolled into the little town of Hear Tooth, which is the eastern gateway of the Cte plateau. Noreross had glren a Jtreat deal of thought to the young girl behind him. and thought had deeperied her charm, ner frankness, her humor, her superb physical streugth and her calm self re liance appealed to him. and the more dangerously because he was so well aware of his own weakness and lone liness, nnd as the stage drew up before tte hotel he fervently said, "I hope I thall see tod again?"
