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

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?"
