Seeing the '/Tatertoa Lakes was
plenty of joy for any one day but
when to this was added a sight of
Cameron Lake, colored with the
lights of a setting sun reflected from
the snow-covered mountains which
head this clear lake like a eup, there
was reeompense for all the drab days
we had ever lived.
Just at the corner were the line

Columbia runs into the United States
boundary, lies this gorgeous bit of a
lake. Tbr ten or twelve miles we had
kept steadily ,mounting from the
Waterton Lakes through long ave-
nues of spruce and wild dowers bios-
soming, at the edge of anowdrifts,
slowly disintegrating in the shadow
of .the trees. Farther back we had
seen "Johnny jump ups," Nue birds
were aitting'beck and forth, and teen
in these high up mountains we came
on banks of dainty Selkirk lilies and
alpine anemones. Littlecreeks from
the melting snowbanks trickled down
past them and joined with ' other
creeks that, wondered whether - to
turn` east or west for we were near
the height of land, writes Marian
Green Ellis 4n the Montreal Weekly
Star.
All the way to the top of this
mountain we bad followed the path
of the Cameron Creek known in the
old days as Oi1 Creek, since outcrop-
ping oil dropped into it• all along the
way, and later encouraged drilling.

stream but tumbles from rock to rock
down that long hill side and spilling
into it now and then were thrilling
'waterfalls from the glaciers above,
Almost till we came to Cameron Lake
the mountains were green covered

Waterton Lakes like the Chalet at
Lake Louise is a eery modern hotel.
and since its 'erection, the Waterton
Lakes Park has enjoyed a popularity
it had not dreamed in the old days
when its neighbors were cow punch-
ers and its only visitors ragged fish-
ermen who had torn their clothes
climbing through the underbrush and
wading the creeks and bogs, It would
seem that every stream abounds with
trout of various kinds.
The Waterton Lakes Park Includes'
220 square miles, the smallest of all
the national parks. An Indian legend
says that it was miraculously creat-
ed. According to M. B, Williams, the
story Is as follows:
'Very long ago—the old wise men,
who know the ancient tales, will tell
you --where the park now stands was
all unbroken prairie. Among the
tribes In that time there lived a
young brave named Sokumapi. On an
evil day he fell into the hands of the
Seven Devils who carred hire down
to the underworld and made of him
a slave. There he fell in love with a
beautiful maiden, captive like him-
self, vim suggested to him a way of
escape, While the evil ones slept the
).overs stole away, taking with them
three magic gifts: a stick, a stone,
and a basket of water. Westward
across the prairie the masters of evil
pursued them but when the devils
were close upon them, Sokumapi
threw down the stick and it became a
luxuriant forest blocking the way.
Profiting by this delay, the pair fled
on but were again overtaken, and
now Sokumapi threw down the stone.
At once the mountains sprang 'up on
the prairie. Before the Devils could
overcome this barrier, the Indian
emptied the basket of water. It be-
came a lake, the basket was trans-
formed into a canoe, and across the
blue waters the lovers escaped. A
little westward on the crest of the
Divide, they made a home together,
and there are those who believe that
to this day their happy spirits haunt
the shores of lovely 'Omokslkimi',
which in the Indian tongue means
'beautiful waters,' and which 12 now

add, from its shores the Seven Devils
departed, and their evil shadow nev-

In addition to the Waterton Lake
there are several other lakes in the
park, Including tiny Linnet Lake

WHAT HAPPENED SO FAR
Bud Lee, horse foreman of the Blue
Lake ranch, convinced Bayne Trev-
ors, manager, is deliberatly wrecking
the property owned by Judith • San-
ford, a young woman, her cousin,
Pollock Hampton, and Timothy Gray,
decides to throw up his job. Judith
arrives and announces she has bought
Gray's share in the ranch and will
run it.. She discharges Trevors. •
The men on the ranch dislike tak-
ing orders from a girl, but by subdu-
ing
ubduing a vicious horse and proving her
thorough knowledge of ranch life,
Judith wins the best of them over.
Lee decides to stay.
Convinced her veterinarian, -Bill
Crowdy, is treacherous, Judith dis-
charges him, re-engaging anold
friend of her father's, Doe. Tripp,
Pollock Hampton, with a party or
friends, conies to the ranch to stay
permanently. Trevors accepts Hamp-
ton's invitation tovisit the ranch.
Judith's messenger is held up and
robbed of the monthly pay roll,
Bud Lee goes to the city for more
money, getting back safely with it,
though his horse is killed under him.
Both he and Judith sere Trevor's hand
in the crime. Hog cholera, hard to
account for, breaks out on the ranch.
Judith and Lee, investigating the
scene of the holdup, climb a moun-
tain, where the robber must have hid-
den.
A cabin in a flower -planted clearing
excites Judith's admiration. It is
Lee's, though he does not say so.
They are fired on from ambush, and
Lee wounded. Answering the fire,
they make for the cabin. Here they
find Bill Crowdy wounded. Dragging
him into the building, they find he
has the money taken from Judith's
messenger. Beseiged in the cabin,
they are compelled to stay all night.
Hampton, at the ranch, becomes
uneasy at Judith'slong absence, With
Tommy Burkitt he goes to seek her,
arriving in time to drive th,e attack-
ers off, and capturing one man, who
is known as "Shorty."
"Shorty" escapes from imprison-
ment in thegrainhouse of the ranch,
to the disgust of Carson, cow fore-
man, who had himin charge. Lee be-
gins tofeel a fondness for Judith, tho'
he realizes she is not his womanly.

Hampton's party, typical, city girl, is
moist to Ms taste.
The discovery is made that, pig-

their feet, havebeen liberated on the
ranch. Lee captures a stranger Dick

plice, a cowboy known as "Poker

by trusting false friends. Judith, in
her womanly finery makes such an
appeal to Lee that, alone with her,
he forcibly kisses her, receiving the
rebuke s c;s'erl'ed.
NOW READ ON--
The greater bulk of the stock had.
been steadily shifted- higher in the
hills. 'The hogs grazed ori the slopes
at the north of the Lower End; cat-
tle and horses had been pushed east-
ward
astward to the little valleys' in the moun-
tains about the lake. Even the pla-
teau, where the old cabin stood; `was
now stocked with Lee's prize 'string
of horses. Then one day Hampton
came galloping• through the herds' of
shorthorns, seeking Carson.
''Crowd them down to the Lower
End again," he shouted above the din.
"Cut out the scrawny ones and haze
the rest into the pens." ' • •
Carson's steel -blue eyes snapped,
his teeth .showed like a dog's.
"Drunk?" he sneered. "What's eat-
ing you?"
"Do as you're told," retorted.Ham-
pton hotly. "Those are, orders from
headquarters and it's up to you to
obey them. Get me?"
"If ever I do get you, sonny,"
grunted Carson, "there won't be en-
ough of you left for the dawgs to
quarrel over. Orders or no orders, I
ain't going to do no such fool thing."
Hampton reined his horse in closer
staring wonderingly at the old cat-
tleman. Th'e purplish color of rage
mounted in Carson's tanned cheeks.
"You'll do what you're told or go
get your time," he announced terse-
ly. "We've got an order for five hun-
dred beef cows and we're selling im-
mediately."
Carson's jaw dropped.
"What?"., he demanded, not quite
believing his ears. "Say that again;
will you?"
"I said it once," retorted Hampton.
"Now get busy." •
"Who are we selling to? X ain't
heard about it,"
"An oversight, my dear Mr, Car-
son," laughed Hampton, his own an-
ger risen. "Quite an oversight that
you were not consulted. We are sell-
ing to Doan, Rockwell & Haight, Ev-
er heard of them?"
"Who says we're selling?"
"1 say so. Andif you've got to
have all the news, Miss Sanford says
so,"
"She does, does she? Hm-irt. First
I knew of it, What Tigger?' '
"Really, does that concern you? If
the price suits Inc'and Miss Sanford;
who own the stock, does it in any way
affect you? I don't want to quarrel
with you, Carson, and I do; appreciate
that you are a good roan in your way.
But just because you have worked
here a longtime, don't make the mis-
take of thinking that yon own the
ranch,,,
With that he whirled his horse, and
was gone. Carson, with puckered
brows, glared after Mtn.
But orders were orders, and Carson
though the heart was sore, barked out
his commands to his herders to turn
the cattle back towards tate lower
fields. X -Te had been converted to the

"Where's Lee?"called Hampton.
Burkitt grinned at him ,by way of
greeting, and then pointed across the
plateau to a ravine leading to a still
higher, smaller,, shut-in valley. •Hemp,
ton' galloped on and a. quarter of an
hour later came up with "Lee.* The
horse formals was sitting still in his
saddle, his eyes taking •stock • of a
fresh bit of pasture into which he
planned turning his horses a little •lat-
er. It was one of a' dozen small mea-
dows on the mountain creeks where
the canyon walls widened " out into.
an oval-shaped valley, less than a
half -anile long, where there was much•
rich grass.
"Hello, Hampton,' called Lee pleas-
antly, "What's the word?"
The perspiration streaming down
Hampton's face had in no way damp-
ened his ardor. a d ,
"Big doings," he cried warmly.
"We're cutting loose, Bud, at last and
piling up the shining ducats! You're
to gather up a hundred of the most
likely cayuses you've got and shove
them down to the Lower End. We're.
selling pretty heavily to Doan, Rock-
well & Haight."
A new flicker came into Lee's 'eyes.
Then they went hard as polished
agate.
"I didn't quite get.you, ,Hampton,"
he said softly. "You say we.'re •selling
a hundred horses? Now?"
Hampton nodded, understanding
nothing of what lay in Lee'S . heart
• "On the jump, just as fast as .we
can get them on the run," he said- tri-
umphantlyr. "Judith wanted me to
tell- you." '
"I see," answered Lee •sldwly.
. His' eyes left Hampton's flushed
face and went to the distant cliffs.
It was no way of Bud Lee's to hide
his eyes from a man, and yet now
he did hide them. He did not want
Hampton to see what they showed so
plainly, in spite - of his attempt to
master his emotion. He was hurts
Long ago he offended Judith, and she
had waited until now to repay his
rude insult with this cool little slap
in the face. She had not consulted
him, she had not mentioned a sale
to him, and now she sent Hampton
and did not even come to him with
a word of explanation. It was quite
as if she had. said:
"You are justa servant of mine,
like the rest, Bud Lee, and I treat
you accordingly."
Until Judith had tome, there . had
been nothing he had loved as he did
his work among the horses. He wat-
ched then; as day after - day they
grew into clean -blooded perfection;
he appraised their values; he saw per-
sonally to their education, helping
each one of them individually to be-
come the true representative: of the
proudest species of animal life, Had
he turned his eye now to the herd
down yonder he could have seen the
animal he had selected for a brood -
mare next year, the three-year-old
destined to draw all eyes as she
stepped daintily among the best of
the single -footers in Golden Gate
Park, the rich red bay gelding that
hewould mate for a splendid carriage
team ... Oh, he knew them all like
human friends, planned the future for
each, the sale .of each would be no
sorrow but rather a triumph of suc-
cess. And now, to sec thein lumped
and sold to Doan, Rockwell & Haight

Judith's treattnent of him cut, ` cut

"You're a fool, 'Bud Lee," he told
himself softly. "Oh, G --el, what a

"The buyers

"Don't say hue selling! Why, I got

Lee didn't hear the rest. It had
been his intention to comae in and play
a game of whist and smoke with the
boys. Anything to keep from think-
ing. But now, moving on impulse, he
turned and left the, shack, going
swiftly up the knoll to the ranch -
house.
Just stepping into the courtyard'
soft under the moon, tinkling with
fountains, i rr
the play of the , stard his e
heart to quicker beating. He had not
set foot here for over tevo months,.
not since that night which he knew
he should forget and yet to . whose

was the first time in. many a long
week that he had gone out of his way,
to seek" Judith. And now words which
Judith herself had spoken to him one
day were now at least a part of the
cause sending him to speak with her,
She had said that he was Ioyal, that

make this "tremendous sale, if she.
were mad or had at last lost her ner-

heavy sum of money to be raised at
the end .of the winter, well, then. it
still could do no harm for him to
speak to her. Hampton had told hiin
the price the horses were to bring; it
was pitifully small and Lee meant to
tell her so, to tell her further that he
would guarantee al :enormous gain.
over it if she gave him time. He
would be doing his part though she
called him meddler for his pains.
Marcia Langworthy, hidden in a
big chair on the veranda, watched hint
approach with interest,. though Lee
was unconscious of her presenoe. He
had lifted a hand to rap on the door
when she called to him, saying:
"Good evening, 'Mr. Mysterious.
Lee, Have you forgotten me?"
Though he had pretty well forgot-
ten
orgotten her, it was not necessary to tell
her that he had. He came toward her,
putting out his hand.
"Good evening, 1V1iss Langworthy,"
he said cordially. "I haven't seen

reasons, you know: busy all day and
half the night, for one thing, and for
another, Hampton: has monopolized

Marcia laughed softly.
"To a man of your size the second
reason is absurd.. , Will you sit
down? You see, I am taking, it for
granted that you come here to See
me, Unless," and her eyes twinkled
brightly up at him, "you were sur-
