deep sigh''tft thankfulness; What

of the 'boy's tattered outfit, hidden in
his trunk.
• More than anything. else the city

color of human companionship. Len-
nox was all right; Herford was a
brick; but now that summer was here,

duties of ranch and corrals, What a
fool he had been to follow the sug-
gestion of a girl and come to this
God -forsaken country.

should landspeculation prove safer
or surer than•barter and exchange on
the beloved "street"? It was a gamble
either way.
As he passed the cowboys' quartets,
lighted windows streamed out a joy-'
ous welcome and the sound of bois-
'terous, happy voices assailed his eay.
God! How lonely he was! that was
it ,lonely! He paused forlornly to
peer through•the shadows at a sturdy
fellow unhitching a steak team, and
he remembered hearing Flerford men-
tion in a casual sort of fashion that
he was driving to town _that day for
provisions.
"See Herford is back," he ventured,
inaiuly for the sake of hearing his
own voice,
The fellow grinned without reply
and Trevanion continued his solitary
way. He felt old and tired. The
packing Would have to wait until to-
morrow. He would smoke a cigar or
two on the verandah, and then go to
bed.
Heavy vines darkened the verandah,
and he stumbled as he made his waY
toward his favorite chair, paused in
;front of it and struck a match against:
the heel of hie boot.
A soft rustle startled him; sonic -
thing rose from the depths of the old
rocker, and Trevanion, holding the
match high, stared Until the tiny fiamm
died away. Close to him stood a girl;
young and slim, dressed in shimmer -
nag white. .Her neck and arms were
bare, her tawny eyes; shy and startl-
ed, Iooked straight Tinto his own.
For an instant of incredulous sil-
ence he atood dumb. Then his grop-
-ing hand's found and touched het;,
clinging to her nearness as •a,drown-
ing man clutches et -his hope of. sal-
vation. '
"You!" he tried, "you!"
Peggy, who knew what that wide
lone land could do to unanchored
hinds and souls took his neriteless
hands between her own warm palms.
"I didn't mean to startle yon,' she
explained, a_I1it,,tremulously, "but for
a moment I actually thought you were
going to alt down on•my itip," '
They laughed together.,
"In the name of all that's wonder-
ful, how did ?you happen to find your
way up here 1 • Throw -up your job?
Sitpeed out fora vacation?" ,
"011, I discovered that I was tired
of work, so I handed in my reaigna-
.tion."
Trevanion found another chair, pul-
led it close to his own and began
plying 'her with questions, relevant
rind irrelevant. He was hungry for
(human companionship, for the teem-
ing city, for woman's voice and
laughter --for everything!
Ntennwhile Miss Dorothea lingering
just within the doorway, longed to re-
veal herself, but was teeth to break
in upon the tete-a-tete. About to join
the girt on Idle verandah, she had been
an innocent witness of thetir meeting,
and the fervor of Basil's 'tone had set;
her 'maidenly heart afluttering in her
bosom, "You!" he had said, "you("
as though in all the World, the one
thing he'.greatly desired had taken
shape before his eyes. Miss Doro-
thea heaved a contented sigh, and
blushing lin the darkness, wondered if
they would name the first child after
her.
It • took her fully ten minutes to
make up her mind to an 'interruption
and by that time Basil was •waiting
for her a:9 he stepped oat into the
darkness. •
"Of all the 'delightful surprisesl"
he shouted and his greeting was all
that could be •desired. He was pleased,

"Let's get Bowe •and rest.awhiie,"
suggested Peggy. "There's a nice,

Trevanion :threw himself full length
upon the scanty sward, and after an
instants hesitation, daringly rested
his head ,in her hip. r
"Solid comfort!" he breathed as a
deep sigh escaped him,
Peggy's lids drooped over her tawny
eyes. She was glad Miss Dorothea
was not there to witness ant ' smile
as she ran her slim fingers through
his greying locks. It was indiscreet
perhaps but—was it?

Straight toward them Beverly came

Science knows from its records front
Egypt and Babylon, particularly from
the clay tablets of- the latter country,
that Palestine teemed with. life for
thousands of years before the begin-
ning of the Christian Jlira, But from
the archaeological point of view tite
country is more of a wilderness to-
day then either of its great neighbors.
