Another thing, you'd better use Mr. Xoivross at tJie Springs instead of leaving hini here with Tony.'' "Why soV" "Well, he isn't quite well enough to run the risk. It's a Jong way front here to a doctor." lie 'pears to be on deck this morn inc. Besides. I haven't anything in the office to offer kiin.'' Then send him up to Meeker. Lan don needs help, and he's a letter for ester than Tony anyway." 1 don't know but you're ri'ht. Lan don is almost as good a hustler as Tony and a much better forester. I thought of sending Norcross up there at first, but he told me that Frank and his rung Lad it in for him. Of eourse he's only nominally in the service, but I want him to begin right." I'.errie went further. "I want bin to ride bach with ine today." He looked at her with grave inquiry. "Do you think that n wise tliug to do? "Won't that make more talk?" "We'll start early and ride straight through." "You'll bar-to go by Ixist lake, and that means c long, hard hike. Can he stand it?" -If I find we can't make it I'll pull into a ranch. But I'm sure we can." When Wayland came In the super visor inquired. "Do you feel able to ride back, over the hill t "da 'Entirely so. It isn't the riding tent uses me up, it is the walking, and. be sides, as a candidate for promotion I mu?t obey orders especially orders to march." They breakfasted hurr edly and while" McFar'.ane and Tony were bringing in the horses Wr viand and Berrie set the cabin to rigtts. Work ing thus fide by side, she recovered h-r dominion over him and at the same time regained her own cheerful self coniidcii'-e. You're ji wonder!" he exclaimed as he v.-atchod !:cr d"ft adjustment of the di!ies and furniture. "You're arobi deMrous." "I have to le to Ik-M niv job." site laughingly replied. "A feller must play all the parts when he's up here." It was still early morning as they mounted and set off up thi trail, but M're's camp w.s astir. mid as Mc Tariane turned in much apainst Ber ne's will the lumberman and his daughter both came out to meet them. "Come in and have some breakfast," paid Siona. with cordial inelusi veiiess. while her eyes met Waylaod's glance with mocking glee. "Thank you." sail McFf.rlane. "we can't stop. I'm going to set mydaugh- "Ycu're a wondsrl" he exclaimed. A ROMANCE OF THE EAR TOOTH RANGE SCHyHAMLIH GARLAND Hamlin Garland ter over the divide. She has haa enough camping. aDd Norcross is pret ty well battered tip. so I'm going to help them across. I'll be back tonight and we'll take our turn up the valley tomorrow. Nash will Ik? here then." Berrie did not mind her father's ex planation. On the contrary, she took a distinct pleasure in letting the other girl know of the long and intimate day she was alout to spend with her young lover. Siona. tK adroit to display her dis apixiutmeut, expressed polite regret. "I hope you won't get storm bound." she said, showing her white teeth In a moaning smile. "If there is any sign of a storm we won't cross." declared McFarlane. "We're going round by the lower pass, anyhow. If I'm not here by dark you may know I've stayed to set 'em down at the mill." There was charm in Sioiia's alert poise and in the neatness of her camp dress. Tier dainty tent, with its stools and rug. made tlo wilderness seem but a park. She reminded N"orcros of the troops of tourists of the Tyro!, and her tent was of a kind to harmonize with the tea houses on the path to the summit of the Matterhorn. Then, too. somef hlng'triumphantly feminine shone in iter urignt eyes ana gioweU in ne softly rounded cheeks. Her han 1 was little and pointed, not fitted like Ber rie's for tightening a cinch or wielding ail ax, and as be said "Goodby" he added. "I hope I shall see you again soon." and ut the moment he meant it. "We'll return to the Springs in a few days." she replied. "Come and see us. Our bungalow is on the other side of the river. And you too,"-he addressed Berrie, but her tone was so convention ally polite that the ranch girl, burning with jealous heat, made no reply. Md'arlaue led the way to the lake rapidly and in silence. The splendors of the foliage. suil'.:cd by the rains: the grandeur of the pouks, the song of the glorious stream, al! were lost on Berrie. for she iow felt hersi to be nothing but a big. clumsy, coarse hand ed tomlioy. Her worn gloves, her fad ed skirt and her niau'e shoes had been made hateful to her by that smug, graceful, play acting tourist with the cool, keeu" eyes and smirking lips. "She pretends to be a kitten, but she isn't. She's a sly grownup cat," she bitterly accused, but she could not deny the charm of her personality. Wayland was forced to acknowledge that Berrie in this dark mood was not the delightful companion she had hith erto ln-eu. Something sweet and con fiding had gone out of their relation ship, and he was too keen witted not to know what it was. He estimated precisely the value of the malicious parting words of Siona Moore. That Berrie was suffering and that her jealousy toii'-hingly proved the Oeptii of her love for him brought no elation, only perplexity, lie was not seeking such devotion. As a compan ion tu the trail she had been a joy; as a jealous sweetheart she was Jess ad mirable, lie realized perfectly that this return journey was of her ar rangement, not McFarlauest and, while he was not resentful of her care, he was in doubt of the outcome. It hur ried him into a further intimacy which might prove embarrassing. At the ramp by the lake the super visor became sharply commanding. "Now, let's throw these packs on live ly. It will be slippery on the hi :h trail, and you'll just naturally have to Jilt leather hard and keep jouncing if you reach the vagou road before dark But you'll n?ale it." "Make it!" said Berrie. "Of course we'll make it Don't you worry about that for a minute. Once I get out of the green timber the dark won't worry me. We'll pu;:h right through." In packing the camp stuff on the saddles Berrie. almost as swift and powerful as her father, acted with per fect understanding of every task, and H"ayland's admiration of her skill in creased mightily. She iusisted on her father's turning back. "We don't need you." she said. 'T can find the pass." McFarlane's faith in his daughter had been tested many times, and yet he was a little loath to have her start off on a trail new to her. He argued ngaint it briefly, but she laughed at his fears. T can go anywhere you con." she said. "Stand clear!" With final admonition he stood clear. "Goodby !" he called. "Jf you meet Nash hurry him along. Moore is anx ious to run tiiote lines. Keep lu touch with Landon. and if anybody turns up 'rum tliw district office nav I'll Ite back on Friday. Good luck!" "Same to you. So long!" Berea led the way, and Noreross fell in behind the pack horses, feeling as unimportant as a small boy at the heels of a circus parade. II is girl cap tain was so competent, so self reliant and so sure that nothing he could say or do assisted in the slightest degree. Her leadership was a curiously close reproduction of her father's unhurried and graceful actiou. Her seat in the saddle was as easy as Landon's, and her eyes were alert to every rock and stream in the road. She was at home here, where the other girl would have Ik'ou a Itowildered child, and his words of praise lifted the shadow from her face. Wayland called out, "The air feels like Thanksgiving morning, doesn't it?" "It is Thanksgiving for me. and I'm going to get a grouse for dinner." she replied, and in less than an hour the snap of her rifle made good her prom ise. After leaving the upper lake she turned to the right and followed the course of a swift and splendid stream which came churning through a cheer less, mossy swamp of spruce trees. In experienced as he was. Wayland knew that this was not a well marked trail, but his confidence in Lis guide was too great to jiermit of any worry over the pass, and he amused himself by watching the water robins as they flitted from stone to stone in the tor rent, and in calculating just where hi' would drop a line for trout if lie had time to do so. and iu recovered seren ity .-ii joyed his ride. Gradually lie put flsid his perplexities concerning the ft! t tui jiennitting his mind to prefig ure nothing but his duties with I.an don at Meeker's mill. He was rather glad of the decision to send him there, for it promised al sorbing spirt. "I shall see how Lan don and Behkn work out their prob leni," he said. He had no fear of Frank Meeker now. "As a forest guard with o3ii-i:;! duties to perform I can meet that young savasre on other and more nearly equal terms." he assured 1 imself.. The trail grew slippery and in places ran full of water. "But there's a bot tom somewhere." Berrie confidently declared, and pushed ahead with reso lute mien. It was noon when they rose above timber and entered upon the wide, smooth s1ohs of the pass. Snow filled the grass hero, and the wind. keen, cutting, unhindered, came out of the desolate west with savage fury, bat the sun occasionally shone through the cloudi; with vivid splen dor. "It is December now," shouted Wayland as he put on his s!i kcr and cowered low to his saddle. "It will le January soon." "We will make it Christmas dinner," she laughed, and her glowing good hu mor warmed his heart. She was en tirely her cheerful self again. As they rose the view became mag niticent, wintry, sparkling. The great clouds, drifting like ancient warships heavy with armament, sent down chill showers of hail over the frosted gold of the grassy slopes, but when the shadows passed the sunlight descend ed in silent cataracts deliciously spring like. The conies squeaked from the rocky ridges and a brace of eagles cir cling about a lone crag, as if exulting in their sovereign mastery of the air. screamed in shrill ecstati- duo. The sheer cliffs on their shadowed sides wore violently purplo. Everywhere the landscape exhibited crashing contrasts of primary pigments which bit into consciousness bue the flare of a mar tial band. It was nearly 2 o'clock when they began to drop down behind the rocky ridi:;s of the eastern siope. and soon, in the bottom of a warm and shelter ed hollow jut at timber line. Berrie drew her horse to stand and slipped from the saddle. "We'll rest here an hour." site said, "and cook our grouse, or are you too hungry to wait?" "I can wait." lie answered dramati cally. "But it seems as if I had never eaten." "Well. then, we'll save the grouse till tomorrow, but I'll make some coffee. You bring some water while I start a fire." And so, while the tired horses crop jod the russet grass, she boiled some coffee and laid out some bread and meat, while he sat by watching her and absorbing the lieauty of the scene, the charm of the hour. "It is exactly like a warm afternoon in April." he said, "and lierv are some of the spring flowers." "There cow. sit by and eat." she said, with humor, and in perfectly re stored tranquillity they ate and drank, with no thoimht of critics or of rivals. They were alone, and content to be so. It was deliciously sweet and restful there in that sunny hollow on the breast of the mountain. The wind swept through the worn branches of the dwarfed spruce with immemorial wistfulness. but these young souls heard it only as a far off song. Side by side on the soft Alpine clover they rested and talked, looking away at the shining peaks, and down over the dark gleon billows of fir beneath them. Half the forest was uutier their eyes at the moment, and the man said: "Is it not magnificent! It makes me proud of my country. Just think, all this glorious spread of hill and valley is un der your father's direction I may say under your direction, for I notice he does jutt about what you tell him to do," "You'ie noticed that?" she laughed. "If I were a man I'd rather be super visor of this forest than congressman." "So would I." he agreed. "Nash says you are the suiervisor. I wonder if your father realizes how efficient you are? Does he ever sorrow over your not beinj a boy?" Her eyes shjne with mirth. "Not that 1 can notice. He 'pears con tented." "You're a good deal like a son to him. I imagine. You can do about nil that a boy can do. anyhow more tha-i I could ever do. "Does he realize how much you hnv to do with the man agement of his forest? I've never seen your like. I really Jielievp you could carry on the work as well as he." She flushed with pleasure. "Ton seem to thick I'm a dLstrict forester in disguise." "I have yes. Miss Supervisor, and also ears, which leads me to asl;. Why don't you clean out that saloon gang? Landon is sfire there's crooke 1 work going on at that mill certainly that open bar is a disgraceful aud corrupt iDg thing." Her face clouded. "We've tried to cut out that saloon, but It can't be done. You see. it's on a patented claim. The claim was bogus, of course, and we've made complaint, but the matter is hung up and that gives 'em a -chance to go on." "Well, let's not talk of that. It's too delicious an hour for any question of business. It Ls a moment for poetry. I wish I could write what I feel this moment. YThy don't we camp liere and watch the sun go down and the moon rise? From our lofty vantage ground the coming of dawn would be an epic." "We mustn't think of that." she pro tested. "We must be going." "Not yet. The hour is too perfect. It may never come again. The wind In the pines, the sunshine, the conies crying from their rocks, the butterflies on the clover my heart aches with the beauty of it. It's been a Wonder ful trip. Even that staggering walk in the rain had its splendid quality. I couldn't see the poetry in it then, but I do now. These few days have made us comrades, haven't they comrades of the trail r' (To Be Continued.) DOUBLY PROVEN Plattsmouth Readers Can No Longer Doubt the Evidence. This Plattsmouth citizen testified long ago. Told of quick relief of undoubted benefit. The facts are now confirmed. Such testimony is complete the evidence conclusive. It forms convincing proof of merit. E. M. Buttery, stationary engineer, Tenth and Walnut streets, Platts mouth, says: "J could hardly lift any thing without pains catching me across my hips. J also had lameness across my loins and finally concluded the trouble arose from disordered kid neys. Doan's Kidney Pills quickly re lieved me." (Statement given June 11, 1906). OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr. Buttery said: "I still use Doan's Kid ney Pills occasionally and recommend them as highly as ever." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Buttery had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props, Buffalo, N. Y. George P.
