.t,ystem. .

does it :natter? Each year sees the

shouting of herders and the beating
to death of sheep, no hostile shot has
erer been tired within the bounds of a
national forest. In the work of the
forest rangerSlies the hopeof ultimate
peace and order over all the public
lands.
The girl fell silent again, lier mind
filled with larger conception e of -life_
than her judgment had Latherto been
called upon to meet. She knew that
Redfield_ was rightened yet that world,
of the past -the World' of the swift
herdstne and his t rampling, long
horneil. hall kine -still appealed
to her imagination. The west of her
girlhood seemed -heroic in memory.-
Even the quiet account of it to which
she had just listened could not conceal
its eine. .largeness of movement. The
part which troubled her most -was her
father's treachery to his neighbors.
That he should light. (het he should
kill men in -honorable warfare, she
could understand. but not his recrean-
cy, his desertion of her mother and
herself.
Sae came back to dwell at last on
the action of ,that slim young soldier

she had thrilled even then at the
vague a OCI impersonal POWer w 1iiclj he
represented. To her childish mind he
seemed to bear a charm, lilie the he-
roes of her story. book.s-soniething

After a long: pause Recltie)d spoke
again. "The memory of your fa her
will make life for a lime a bit hard
for you in Roaring Pork. Perhaps
your mother's advice is sound. Why
not come to -Sulphur City, which is
almost entirely.of the new ,spirit?" .
"If I 'can get my mother to come,
too, I will be glad to do so,- for I hate
the Fork. But I will not leave her
there, sick and aloue."
"Much depends upon the doctor's
exaMination tomorrow."
They had topped the divide noii be-
tween the Fork. --and Sulphur creek
basin, and the green fields, the alfalfa
mea-dows alai the painted :farMliouses
hickened beneath them. , Strange how
ige.ificant all these signs were 'now!
A few days ago they had appeared
doubtful improvetnents; now they rep-
eeented the oncoming dominion of the
ast. They meant cleanliness and de-
ent speech, good bread and sweet
atter.
Redfield swept through the town,
en turned up the streamtdirectly to-- •
iard the high wall or the range, Watch
was ragged and. abrupt at this point.
They passed -severel charming farm-.
houses, and the western sky grew ever
more glorious with its plum color and
saffron, and the range reasserted. its
mastery over the girl. At last they
came to -the very jaws of the canyon,
and there, in a deep natural grove of
lofty cottonwood trees, Redfield passed
before a high rustic gate which mark-
ed the beginning -of his estate. The
driveway was of gravel. and the inter-
mingling: of transplanted shrubs and
pipe trees showedthe cardof the pro-
fessional gardener.

:me house was fat from -being a
castle. . Indeed, it was very like a
louse in' Bryn Mawr, except that it
was built entirely of hail hewn logs,
with a wide projecting roof.- Giant
hydrangeas and other flowering shrubs
bordered the drive, and on the rustle
terrace a lady in white was Waiting.
Redfield slowed down and scrambled
ungraceiully out. But' his voice was
alarming as he said: "Eleanor, this

her away," he explained:
Mrs. Redfield, quite as urban as the
house, was a slim little woman of. del-
icate habit, very far from the ordinary
conception of a rancher's wife. Her
manner was politelyi considerate, but
not 'heatedly cordialia(the visitor Was
not precisely hers). and, though she
warmed a little after looking into Vir-
ginia's face, she could not by any
stretch of phrase be called cordial.
"Are you Urea? Would ,you like to
lie clown before dinner?" she asked.
"Oh, no, indeed. Nothing ever tires
me," Virginia responded, withia smile.

the furnishings were tasteful. To the
girl it was as if she had aseen transit

horrible little ,cow town back to the.

"If you please."

- She turned to meet Thesis Cavanagh,:
the young -ranger.
"HOw did you get 'here?" she asked
in wonder.
"I rode across the' hills. It's not

He, too, was in evening dress, and as
she stared at .him t surprise -he langb-:
ingly protested. "Please don't scruti-
nize this Coat too daftly. It's 'the only,
one I've owned for ten years, and this
is the only house in which I'd dare to
it." •
One of the guests was State Senator
Bridges, a farinerilke elderly Man:
wearing a badly fitting serge ,suit. fiel
was markedly western. So was his
wife, who looked rather uneasy and,
hot.
Virginia and Ross, being •the only
young folk at the table, were seated
together, 'and Enderby remarked prig.
vately, "Ross, you're in luck."

He did not tell air. that she was the
'principal reason for this sudden de -

:Redfield knew the killing ride he had
taken in order to be in at the begin=
•ning of the dinner. The girl's face
and voice, especially her voice, had,
,been with .him night and day as 'he:
,went about MP solitary duties. Her
life' problem had come to fill his mind,
to a disturbing -degree, and he was
eager to know more of her. and of her
'struggle against the vice and 'vul-
garity of the Forks.. ,
"How* is your mother?" he asked a
few minutes later.
"Not at all well; Mr. Redfield is to
take the doctor back -with us tomor-
row." The ecstasy died out of her
face, and.the flexible lips drooped with
troubled musing. "I am afraid she
suffers more than she will admit."
"She needs a rest and change. She
should get away from her seat at that
'cash register and return to the open
air. A touch pf camp life wohld help,
her. She sticks too close to her work.",
"I know she does, but she won't let
.me relieve her, even for an hour. It,
isn't because she doesn't trust 'me;
she says it's because she doesn't rant ,
me sitting there -so -publicly. Slie
doesn't 'oppose my housekeeping any
more" -
"You certainly have made the old
hotel into a place of miraculous neat-
ness."
She flushed with pleasure. "I have
done something, but -not as I'd like to
do. I ;really think if mother Wishes
to sell she could do so now to much
better advantage."
"I've no doubt of it. Really, I'm
not being funny,- Miss Wetherforcn
when I say you've done something
heroic. It's no easy thing to go into
a place like that and make it hab-
itable. It shows immense cburage-and
self reliance on your part. It's pre-
cisely the kind of work this whole
country needs."
•
His praise, sincere and generous, re-
paid her for all she had gone through.
It was a great pleasure to hear her,
small self praised for courage and self
reliance by one whose daily work was
heroic. .M1 things conspired to make
a conquest of her heart, for the ranger
bore himself with grace and dealt with
his silver deftly. His face, seen from
the side, was older and sterner than
she had thought it, but it was very at-
tractive 'in line. .
Redfield appealed to the ranger,
"Ross, you're all sorts of 6. reactionary.'
What do you say. to this? Senator
Bridges is opposed.to all federal inter-
ference with state forests and state
game."
, 'The _forester's eyes lit up. "But are
they state forest, and state game?
What makesthem so? They are. lands*
which the whole people purchased and
which the whole people defended."
"Heah, heah!" cheered Enderby.
Bridges bristled. Wii h. auger aud went
off into a long harangue on state rights
'and the dangers of centralization, to
which Enderby replied: "Bosh! The
whole trouble: with your bane' gov-
ernment is its lack f cohesion; If I

stitution is a ball and chain on your
national leg. England is immeasura-
bly better off so far as that goes."
Ross turned to Virginia, leaving the
political discussion to go on over his
head. "I was back in the old island
a couple of .years ago, and you've no
idea how small it seemed to me. It
surely is a 'right . little, tight litte3
Wand.' I couldn't help wondering
whether the men in parliament were
es important as they seemed to think
they were and whether England is not
really an empty- shell of erapire, a
memory of what It once was.. I
couldn't settle down there some way.
I was homesick fon the mountains in
a month. But what scared me most
was the pauper population of the old
place one in every thirty-seven must
be helped. I care back to the States
gladly. 'I guess Pm an American,' I
said to ray sisters."
To Lee Virginia the talk of "the
curse of democracy" and "the decay
of empire" was ,unexciting, but when
'Cavanagh told of the sheepmen's ad-
vance across the dead line on Deer
.creek and of the threats of the cat-
tle owners she was .better able to fel-
=low the discushAni. Bridges was
'heartily on the side of law_ and order,
for he wished to boom the state (being
a heavy owner in a town site), but he
'objected to Recifield's ideas of "bot -
Jane up the resoiirces of the state."
• "But we're not," retorted Redfield;
-"we're merely defending them against
those who would monopolize them.
'We believe in their, fullest use, but we
see no reason for giving away the re,
'sources when the country needs the
, revenue."
-Alm Redfield rose as soon as the cof-
fee came on. “You gentlemen seem
bent Upon -dismissing matters of no in- •
terest to us," she said, "so we'll leave
you to fight it out alone. I'm sure
you'll all agree :with Hugh in the end.
Like General Grant, he's a very ob-
stinate man." _
, No sooner were they seated in the
big living room than Mrs. Enderby be-
gan to relate Comical stories of ber
household. Her eats had fits and ran
up the wall. Her dogs were forever
getting 'quilled rby reason of foolish -
attack § upon porcupines, or else they
came home so Ireminiscent of skunks
that they all but smothered the cook.
"Invariably they return from encoun-
ters_of this kind just aswe are sitting
at dinner," she' explained. •"Further-
more, Enderby'S ditches are habitually

his receipts exceeded his expenditures
last year, which is quite too incredible.
You've no idea how high wages are

"Oh, yes, -.I harm," laughed Mrs. Red-
field. "And my cat had a fit too. Hugh
says it's the high altitude. I tell him
it's melancholia."
Cavanagh showed himself. "I hear
so much laughter Pni'coreing in. We're

Mrs. Bridges, to whom this Was a mor-

"Oh, it's quite simple! If you dont
bump against a tree or fall into the
creek you may be quite sure you're on
the trail," laughed Ross.
Mrs. Redfield knew the true reason
for his coining and was not at all
pleased, "for with *all Lee's personal

"Come out on the veranda," suggest-

hills I must climb."
Lee accepted innocently, butas the
young people left the -room Mrs. En-

"Her mother is that dreadful old

CHAPTER VIII.
TIIE CASE OF LEE VIRG.INLA. AND noss.
BE and Rosg stood in silence on the
Redfield veranda. There was no
moon, and the mountains rose
darkly, a sheer wall at the end
of the garden, their tope cutting into
the starry sky with a dull edge, over
which a ditn white cone peered.
"That snow peak is Wolftootb and
thirty miles from .here and at the -head
of my 'beat,'" said the ;ranger after
a pause as they leaned against the
railing and looked away to the south.
"I go up that ridge which you see
faintly at the left ot tbe main eau -
yon and through that deep notch
which is above timber line."
The girrs eyes widened with awe of
the big, silent, dark world he indicat-
ed. "Aren't you afraid to start" out
'on such a trip alone -I mean:, don't
you dread it?"
"I'll be sorry to start back; yes, but
not because of the dark. I've enjoyed
my visit here so much it will be bard
to say good night."
"It seems- strange to me that you
should firefer this wild country to Eng-
land." -
"Do you like the east better than the
west?"
"In some ways; but, then, you see. I
was born out here."
'So was I -I mean to say I was re-
generated out bere. The truth is I
was a goal deal of 'h ecapegrace when
left England. I Was always for
Ifunting and horses, and naturally .a
came directly `to the wild west coun-
try, and here I've been ever since.
I've had my turn at each phase of it -
cowpuncher, soldier, rough rider and
finally forest ranger. I reckon I've
found my job at last." -
"Do you like it so much?"
"At the present tine I am perfectly
contented. I'm associated now with a
country that will never yield to the
plow. Yes, I like 'my work. I love
the forests and the streams. I wish
might show them to you. You don't
know how beautifuj, they are.' The
most ,beautiful parks in the world are
commonplace to what I can show you.

"I'd like it a'bove everything," she
responded fervently. Then her voice
changed, "But all depends on my
mother's health."
It hurt him to hear:lier call Eliza
Wetherford mother. He wanted to
forget her origin for the moment. He
was not in love with her -far from it!
But she was soalluring, and the pro-
prietress of the Wetherford House
was not nice,- and that made one
doubt the daughter.
She' broke the silence. "It seems
dreadfully dark and mysterious up
there." She indicated his path.
"It isn't as bad as it looks. There is
a good trail, and My pony knows it
as well as I do. I enjoy riding by
night."
"But there are bears and other wild
things,- are there not?"
"Not as much as I wish there were."
"Why do you say that?" -

a new scientille preparation put up
into tabl ...: or pasti de „twin, which
provides an entirely new and effee-

and lung knd throat troubles.
Did it never occur to you as
peculiar tbat when you have
cough 'or a -cold, or any chest
teouble, you should apply medicine
-not to your lunge., but to your
stomach?
Look ,at it the other 'way round.
Suppose you suffered from some
stomach` complaint -indigestion or
ulceration. How strange you would
think it if you were asked to take
a medicine which had to be
breathed in, and which went-npt
to your stomach, but to your lungs
and breathing passages?
Peps -this newest remedy for
coughs, colds, and lung troubles -
go to the lungs and breathing -
tubes, direct. Peps are really pine
fumes, and certain highly beneficial
medicinal extracts specially. pre-
pared by a new, ecientific process
and then condensed into table::
form. It is like making a breath-
able gas solid!
You put a -"Pep " on yom
tongue and let it dissolve. As it
does so, the healing essentes it con-,
tains turn into vapor, and you
BREATHE them direct to your
lungs and air passages!
Just as the ,out -door treatment
for consumption -the "breathing"
treatment -is now admitted to be
the only rational treatment, so the
"Peps" treatment for tea& and
lung troubles is the only rational
home treatment.
Peps cure catarrh, coug,hs, bron-
chitis, sore throat; tightness or
naehing across the chest, difficulty
in breathing, night cough, hoarse-
ness, asthma; laryngitis, smoker's
