SYNOPSI&.
Claude Wlifekr, living on a Nebraska
ranch with his parents, is forced to <juil ,
school, a small college in Lincoln, in lii»
third year, in order to care for Ih'a ranch
while hie younger brother, Ralph, and
father, Nat. spend most of tlieir time on
the Colorado ranch. Buyliee. an older
brother, operates an Implement store in
Frankfort, the eeene of the story to date, j
While in Lincoln. < laude made etuiiiich
friends of the Erlich family, a motherly
widow and five sons. Ernest llavcl and
Leonard Dawson are young farmer friend*
of (laude. (laude and III* mother are
deeply Interested In tierman advance into ,
Belgium during early stages of world :
war ( laude weds Enid Royce. religious t
daughter of *la*on Royce, Frankfort mill- i
er. They live In tlieir new horns on
Wheeler property near the Dawson’s. Enid
Is indifferent to Claude. Leonard and his
wife discuss Enid's attitude toward
( laude. After a visit to the latter's home
where lie find* him alone at cold dinner
while Enid fight* for prohibition in a
town meeting. I.connrd declares (laude
lias been “stung." Claude, alone. (Kinders
on the absence of love on part of his wife
for him. He declines to distribute Anti- ,
saloon literature fof Enid and Bajliss. He
dine* with his mother and they, with the
colored servant. Mahal ley, discuss Berman
atrocities in Belgium.
CHAPTER V.
Claude had been married h year
and a half. One December morning he
got a telephone, message from bis j
father-in law. asking him to come in j
to Frankfort at once. He found Mr ,
Royce sunk in his desk chair, smok
ing as usual, with several foreign
looking letters on the^table before j
him. As he took tlie.se out of their
envelopes and sorted the pages,
Claude noticed how unsteady his
hands had become.
One letter, from the chief of the
medical staff in tlie mission school
where Caroline Royce taught. In
formed Mr. Royce tHat his daughter I
was seriously ill in tlie mission hospi
tal. She would have to be sent to a
more salubrious part of the country
for rest and treatment, and would not
be strong enough to return to her
duties for a. year or more. If some
member of her family could come out
to take care of her, it would relieve
the school authorities of great anxi
ety. There was also a letter from a
fellow tea* her. and a rather incoher
ent one frorri Caroline herself. AjRer
Claude finished reading them. air.
Royce pushed a box of cigars toward
him and began to talk despondently
about missionaries.
**I could go to her.” he complained,
"but what good would that do? I’m
not in sympathy with her ideas, and
it would only fret her. You can see
she's made her mind up not to come
home. I don't believe in one people
trying to force their ways or tlieir
religion on another. I'm not that kihd
of man.” He sat looking at his cigar.
After a long pause be broke out sud
denly, "Chiha has been drummed into I
my ears . .it seems like a
long way to go t<• bunt for trouble,
don't it? A man hasn't got much con
trol over his own life. < Juude ]f it
ain’t poverty or disease that, tor
ments him, its a name on the nlap.
I could have made out pretty well,
if it hadn't been for China, and some^,
other things .If Carried had
to teach for her clothes and help pay
off my notes, like old man Harrison's
daughters, like enough she'd have
stayed at home. There’s always
something. I don't know what to say
about showing these letters to Kntd.”
"Oh. she will have to know* about
it, Mr. Royce. If she feels that sha
ought to to Carrje. it wouldn’t be
right for me to interfere.”
Mr. Royce shook bis diead. ”1 don’t

should hang over you, too.’’
When Claude got home he re
marked as he handed Knid the let
ters, "Your father has been a good
deal upset hy this. I never saw him
look so old as he did today."
Enid studied their contents, sitting
at her orderly little desk, while
Claude pretended to read the paper.
"It seems clear that I am the one
to go," she said when she had fin
ished.
"You think it's necessary for some
one to go? 1 don't see It.”
"It would look very strange if none
of us went,” Knid replied with spirit.
"llow, look strange?"
"Why, it would look to her asso
ciates as if her family had no feel
ing."
"Oh. if that’s all."’ Claude smiled
perversely anti took up his paper
again. "1 wonder how it will look to
people here if you go off and leave
your husband?"
“What a mean thing to say,
Claude."’ Site rose sharply, then hesi
tated, perpiexeej. T’eoplo here know
me better than that. It Isn't as if
you couldn't he perfectly comfortable
at your mother's.” As he did not
glance up front his paper, site went
into the kitchen.
Claude sat still, listening to Enid's
quick movements as site opened up
the range to get supper. The light in
the room grew greyer. Outside the
fields melted into one another as
evening came on. The young trees in
the yard bent and whipped about
under a bitter north wind. He had
often thoughi, with pride tiiat winter
died at his front doorstep; within, no
draughty halls, net chilly corner^. This
was their second year here. When ho
was driving home, the thought that
he migbf he free of this house for a
long while had stirred a pleasant ex
citement in him: but now, he didn't
want to leave It. Something grew
soft in him. He wondered whether
they couldn't try again, and make
things go better. Enid was singing in
the kitchen in a subdued, rather
lonely voice. He rose and went out
for his milking coat and pail. As he
passed his wife by the window, lie
stopped and put his arm about her
questibningly.
Hho looked up "That's right. You're
feeling better about it. aren't you?
I thought you would. Craclous. what
a smelly coat, Claude! I must find
another for you."
Claude knew that tone. Knid never
questioned the rightness of her own
decisions. When site made up her
mind, there was no turning her. He
went down (he path to the barn with
hi* hands stuffed in his trousers
pockets, Ills bright psil hanging on
his arpt. Try again—’that was there
to try? Platitudes. llttlen<ss. false
ness . . liis life was choking
him, and lie hadn't the courage to
break with it. Hot her go! bet her

his hand—always had.
When they sat down at the supper
table in the bark parlor an hour later,
Enid looked worn, as if this time her
decision had cost her something. | "1
should think you might have a rest
ful winter at your mother's" sho be
gan cheerfully. "You won't have
nearly so much to look after as you
do here. We needn't disturb things in
this house. I will take the silver down
to Mother, and we can leave every
thing else just as It is. Would thera
be room for my car in your father’s
garage? You might find it a con
venience."
"Oh, no! I won't need it. I'll put
It up at the mill house." he answered
with an effort at carelessness.
All the familiar objects that stood
about them in the lamplight seemed
stiller and more solemn than usual,
as if they were holding their breath.
"I suppose you had better take the
chickens over to your mother's" Enid
continued evenly. "Hut I shouldn't
like them to get mixed with her Ply
mouth Rocks; there's not a dark
feather among them now. Do ask
Mother Wheeler to use all the eggs,
and not let my hens set in the
spring."
"In the spring?" Claude looked up
from his plate
"Of course, Claude. I could hardly
get back before next fall, if I'm to be
of any help to poor Carrie. I might
try to be home for harvest, if that
would make it more convenient for
you.” She rose to bring in the des
sert. ,

Knid came I neck with the hot pud
