enough at that. She followed till her
strength began to frill. Alul when in
spite of her determination she lagged
behind, he stopped at the first water.
"We'll camp here," he sold. "You're
about all In, and we can't get anywhere
tonight, I see plainly."
Hazel accepted this dictum as best
she could. She sat down on a mossy
rock while he stripped the horses `of
their gear and staked thein out. Then
Bill started a fire and fixed the roll
of bedding by it for her to sit on.
Dusk crept over the forest while he
cooked the supper; making a baunock
in the frying pan to talcevthe place of
bread; and when they had finished eat-
ing and washed the few dishes, night
shut down black as the pit.
They talked little. Hazel was.in the
grip of utter forlornness, moody, wish-
ful to cry. Roaring Bill humped on his
side of the tire, staring thoughtfully
into the blaze. Atter a long period of
abstraction he glnneed at his watch,
than arose and silently arranged her
bed. After that he spread his saddle
blankets and lay dcwn.
Hazel crept into the covers and qui-
etly sobbed herself to sleep. The huge
and land appalled her. ,
AS on the previous night, she wale.
ened often and glanced over to the fire.
Roaring Bill kept his accustomed posi-
tion, flat in the glow.' She had no fear
of him now.
Night passed, and dawn ushered in a
clearing sky. Ragged wisps of clouds
chased each other across the blue
when they set out again. Hazel walked
the stiffness out of her muscles before
she mounted. When she did get on
Silk, Roaring 8111 increased his pace.
Ile was long-legged and light of 'foot,
apparently tireless. She asked no ques-
tions. What was the use? He would
eventually come out ,somewhere. She
was resigned to wait.
After a time elle began to puzzle,
and the old unenainess came back. The
last trailing banner of cloud vanished,
and the sun rode clear in an opal sky,
smiling benignly down on the forested
land. She was thus enabled to locate
the cardinal!mints of the compass.
Wherefore she took to gauging their
course by the shadows. And the result
was what set her to thinking. Over
level and ridge and swampy hollow,
Roaring ,13111 drove atralgbt north in
an undeviating line. She recollected
that the point from which she had lost
her way had lain northeast of Cariboo
Meadows. Even If they had swung

"Mr. Wngatafr 1" she called sharply.
Roaring 13111 stopped, and she rode
5111( up palet the pant horses.
"1Vhero aro you taking nue?" she de-
manded.
"Why, Pin tnkingeyou home—or try -
In.; to," he answered mildly.
"But you're going north," she de-
clared. "You've been golug north all
morning, ' I was north 'of Cariboo
Meadows when I got lost. How can
we get back to Cariboo Meadows by
going still farther north?"
"You're more of a woodsman than I
imagined," Bill remarked gently. He
smiled up at her, and drew out his
pipe and tobacco pouch.
She looked at him for a minute.
"Do you know where we are now?"
she asked quietly.
Fie met her keen gaze calmly. "I
do," he made laconic answer.
"Which way is Cariboo Meadows,
then, and how far is it?" she demand-
ed.
"General direction, south," he re-
plied slowly. "Fifty miles more or
less. Rather more than less."
"And you've been ' Ieading mo
straight north!" she cried. "Oh, what
nm 7 going to do?"
"Keep right on going," Wagstaff an
severed.
"I won't -I won't!" she flashed. I'II
find my own way back. What devilish
impulse prompted you to do such a
thing?"
"You'll have a beautiful time of it,"
he said dryly, completely ignoring her
last question. "Take you three days
to walk there—if you knew every foot
of the way. And you don't know the
way. Traveling in timber is confus-
ing, as you've discovered. You'll never
see Cariboo. Meadows, or any other
place, if you tackle It single-handed,
without grub or matches or bedding.
This is a whopping big country. A
good many men have got lost In st—
and other men have found their
bones."
HeJetthis sink In while she sat
there on his horse ch?king back a wild
desire to curse hlm by bell, bock and
candle for what 11e had done, and hold-
ing in check the fear of what he might
yet do. She could not escape the con-
clusion that Roaring•Bill Wagstaff was
something of n law veto himself, ca-
pable of hewing to the line of his own
desires at any cost. She realized her
utter helplessness, and the realization
left her without words. He had drawn
a vivid picture, and the instinct of self-
preservation asserted Itself.
"You misled me." She found her
voice at last. " 'hy?'
"Dud I mislead you?" be parried.
"Weren't you already lost when you
came to my camp? And have I mis-
treated you In any manner? Have I
refused you food, shelter or help?"
"My home is In Cariboo Meadows,"
she persisted. "I asked you to take me
there. You led me away from there
deliberately; I belleve now."
"My trail doesn't happen to lead to
Cariboo Meadows, that's all," Roaring.
Bill coolly told ben. "If you must go
back there, I shan't restrain you in
any way whatever. But I'm for home
myself. And that,"—he came close
and smiled frankly up at her—"Is n
better place than Cariboo ]lieadows.
I've got n little house back in the
woods. There's grub there, and heat
in the forest, and fish In the streams.
It's home for me. Why should I go
back to Cariboo Meadows? Or you?"
"Why should I go with you?" she
demanded scornfully.
"Because I want you to," he mur-
mured.
They matched glances for a second,
Wagstaff smiling,'she half horrified.
"Are you clean mad?' she asked an-
grily. "I was beginning to think you
a gentleman."

laughed. Then on the instant be so-
bered. "Not a gentleman," he said.
"I'm a plata man. And lonesome some-
times for a mate, as nature has or-
dained to be the way of flesh."
"Get a squaw, then," she sneered.
"I've heard that such people as you
do that." -
"Not fne," he returned, unruffled. "1
want a woman of my own kind."
"Heaven save me from that elesatfi-
catiou 1" she observed, with emphasis
on the pronoun.
"Yes?" he drawled. "Well, there's
no profit In arguing the point. Let's
be getting on."
He reached for the lead rope of the
nearest pack horse.
Hazel urged Silk up a step. "Mr.
Wagstaff," she cried, "I must go back."
"You can't go back without me," he
said. "And I'm not traveling that way,
thank you."
Please—oh, please 1" she begged for.

Retiring Bill's face hardened. "I
wi11 not," he said flatly. "I'm going to
play the game my way. And I'll play
fair.. That's the 'only promise I will
make,"
She took a look et the encompassing
woods, and her heart sank at facing
those shndpwy stretches alone and nn -

that she 'Would never reach Cariboo
Meadows forced itself home. There

an's wit wonld have to save her,

THE observance of the laws of
health, so vital to the well-
being of man, Is regarded
even In this enlightened
age. with considerable indifference
in the treatment of animals upon
whose good health that of man him-
self depends to a considerable de-
gree. That animals are not more
affected by disease, of some form or
another, to a greater extent, is purely
providential, for ,the sanitary condi-
tions under which they are often
reared Is of the worst. Why this
apathy concerning the state of the
stables, in which frequently valuable
animals are housed, is difScult to un-
derstand, since cattle, any more than
man, cannot maintain their health
and vigor for long In such unfa,vor-
able conditions; yet the stockman
who keeps cattle for profit (oust
know that to gain maximum returns
forhis Investments and trouble, and
to guattl against loss from disease
and death reasonable care and com-
fort and sanitary conditions are
necessary.
The first considerations to this end
are ventilation, Bight and, cleanliness.
These essential elements of sanita-
tion should be attended to at least
once every year. This may be most
conveniently done during the early
fall before the cattle aro.housed for
the winter. Effective ventilation is
required to carry away the font air
and maintain constant and adequate
supply of fresh air. The window
space should be ample so that every
corner of the Interior may be flooded
with light and sunshine, the source
of health and destroyer of germs.
Dirt and filth make productive breed -
Ing places. for insects and bacteria.
Cleanliness gets rid of conditions
which produce them and prevents,the
possibility of infection and contagion,
reducing possible loss from disease
to a minimum, That much -dreaded
disease, tuberculosis, 133 in a measure
the product of dark, dirty, ill -venti-
lated stables: It is caused by organ-
ism or germs gaining entrance into
the animal's system wfth the food.
It is not easy to detect, and usually
when symptoms become evident it is
too late to apply any remedy, hence
the necessity of making every effort
to secure and maintain sanitary con-
ditions in the stable. Eveny fall,
then, the stable should be systemati-
cally cleaned; cobwebs swept from
wall and ceilings; accylmulated dirt
and debris cleared from manger,
trough, window-sille and all recesses
in walls; the fresh aur intakes and
foul air' outlets put in order; fill all
cracks and holes in floor and walls
