Lord. Palmerston was wont to de- clare that he owed much of his suc- cess in political life to Lady Palmer- ston, and he even went so far as, to assert on one occasion that all poli- ticians who aspire to become really prominent ought to ' marry. Mrs. Gladstone, again, was a real helpmate to her talented husband: She supervised his correspondence, and drafted the synopses of most of his most important speeches. The one exception was Disraeli, whose wife seemed to take an impish delight in thwarting him and making him look ridiculous. Once, for in- stance, at a great State banquet DRS. SCOTT & MCKAY, 3, G.

"Yes," replied Mrs; Disraeli, loud enough for everybody near to hear, "Dizzy looks all right dolled up like that; but you ought to see hires in his bath." It is not exactly- easy to indicate in black and white exactly what are the social duties exacted of a Prime Minister's wife. Custom .decrees or- dinarily that the Premier shall give during each Parliamentary session a certain number of, more or less formal dinners and receptions, and at such functions, of course, she is expected to act as hostess. Owing to the. war, however, these functions, as well as other less for- mal but scarcely less obligatory- ones of a similar kind, are to a great ex- tent held in abeyance just now; so that Mrs: Lloyd George will, be spar- ed, at all events for the present, much of the ordeal of wholesale en- tertaining on a large scale which fell to the lot of Mrs. Asquith during the first hart of her husband's Premier- ship. For this respite no doubt. Mrs. Lloyd George will be duly grateful, for although the Premier's wife is, of course, every inch a lady, and a very charming and intelligent ladv at that, she is as far removed as pos- sible i•roni the typical society grand dame. No male liveried servants were to -be seen at 11 Downing street during the whole period she was rni tress there; just two or, three maids,. rvants and a small boy in but- tons sufficed. In other directions, no doubt, -Mrs.. Lloyd George will be kept pretty busy, for a Prime Minister's wife is socially a very important persona;,»'. With the exception of Royalty and the wives of the Lord Chancellor and the Archbishops of {;ant% rbury and York, she takes precedence over all other ladies in the land. - She is constantly sought after for opening bazaars and for othe=r sim- ilar charitable functions; and as' re.- gards these, no doubt, • Mrs. Lloyd - George will gladly and willingly do her best. -But chiefly, it is to. be pre- sumed, her helpfulness towards her talented husband will be shown, as was Mrs. Gladstone'te in_helping him in his work. at Medicine Mend? No. you- never heard that in this part of the coun- try, did you? They had a cow -thief for sheriff then, and no officer in Med- icine Bend would go after the mur- derer. .

He never told the story; all he said when he handed in his commission and went back to his work was that the man was killed in a fair fight. Hate him! No won- der they 'hate him—the Williams Cache gang and all their friends on the . range! Your cou9in thinks it policy to placate that element, hoping that they won't steal your cattle if you're friendly with them. I know nothing about that, but I do know something about Whispering Smith. It will be a bad day for Williams Cache when they start him up again. But what has that to do with your trouble? He will not eat you up if you go to the camp, Dicksie. You are just raising bogies." They had moved to the front parch and Marion was sitting in the rocking - chair. Dicksie stood with her back against one of the pillars and looked at her. As Marion finished Dicksie turned and with her hand on her fore- head, looked in wretchedness of mind out on the valley. As far, in many directions, as the eye could reach the waters spread yellow in the flood of sunshine across the lowlands. There was a moment of silence. Dicksie turned her back on the alarming sight . "Marion, I can't do it!" • "Oh, yes, you can if you want to Dicksie!" Dicksie looked at her With tearless eyes. "It is only a question of being plucky enough, insisted Mar- ion. "Pluck has nothing to do with it!" exclaimed Dicksie in fiery tones. "I should like to know why you are always talking about my not having courage! This isn't a question of courage. How can I go to a man that I talked to as I talked to him in your house and ask for help? Hotiv can I go to him"after my cousin has threatened to kill hint; and gone into court to prevent him corning on our land? Shouldn't I look beautiful asking help from him ?" Marion rocked with perfect com- posure. '`No, ,.dear, you would not look beautiful asking help, but you would look sensible. It is so easy to be beautiful and so hard to be sensible." "You are just as horrid as you can be, Marion Sinclair!" "I know that, too, dear. All I want- ed to say is that you would look very sensible just now in asking help from Mr. McCloud." "I don't care—I won't do it. I will never do it, not if every foot of the ranch tumbles into the -river. I hope it will! Nobody cares anything about me: I have no friends but thieves and outlaws." "Dicksie!" Marion' rose. "That is what you said." "I did not. I am your friend. How dare you call me names," demanded that's straight. That was George Marion, taking the petulant girl in McCloud, right over there, the first her arms. "Don't you think I care time I ever set eyes on him or him anything about you? There are peo- en me." The assertion was met with ple in this country that you have nev- silence such as might be termed er seen who know you and love you marked.almost as much as I do.

"You were asleep," said she as he greeted her. '`f am so sorry we have disturbed you!" She looked careworn and a little fo- lorn, yet but a little considering the struggle she and Dicksie had made to reach the camp. Light blazed from the camp -fire, where Dicksie stood talking with Dancing about horses. "They are in desperate straights up at the ranch," Marion went on, when McCloud had assured her of her wel-' come. "I don't see how they can save t Th river is starting to flow into i . e the change would wipe the entire the old channel and there's abig pond body of ranch alfalfa lands off the face of the valley.

Just think of it —no woman but old Puss within ten miles of the poor child! And they have been trying eve,. y where to get bags, and you have all the bags, and ! the men have been buzzing around 1 over there for a week like buinble- bees and doing just about as much '• good. She and I talked it all over i this afternoon, and I told her I was 1 corning over here to see you, and we started out together—and merciful goodness, such a time as we have had!" 1 "But you started out together;where did you leave her?" "There she stands the other side of the fire. 0 Dicksie!" "Why did you not tell me she was here!" exclaimed McCloud, (To be continued next week.) on high ground near the grades, the distant lamps of the track -walkers could be seen moving dimly. Before the camp -fire in front of Me - Cloud's tent a group of men, smoking and talking, sat or lay sprawled on tarpaulins, drying themselves after the long day. Among them were the weather-beaten remnants of the old - guard of the mountain -river workers. men who had ridden in the caboose the night that Hailey went to his death, and had fought the spider wa- ter with Glover. Bill Dancing, huge, lumbering, awkward as a bear and as shifty, was talking, because with no apparent effort he could talk all night, and was-aalunble man at keeping the camp awake. Bill Danc- ing talked and, after Sinclair's name had been dropped from the roll, ate and drank more than any two men on the division. A little apart, Mc- Cloud lay on a leather caboose cushion trying to get a nap. "It was the day George McCloud came," continued Dancing, spinning a confous story. "Nobody was drink- ing — Murray Sinclair started that yarn. I was getting up a little for to meet George McCloud, so I asked the barber for some tonic, and he understood for me to say for dye for my whiskers, and he gets out the dye and begins to dye niy whiskers. My cigar went out whilst he was sham- pooing me, and my whiskers was wet up with the dye. He turned around to put down the bottle, and I started for to light up my cigar with a parlor - match, and, by gum, away went my whiskers on fire—burnt jus' like a tumbleweed. There was the barbers all running around at once trying to choke me with towels, and running for water and me sitting there blaz- ing like a tar -barrel. That's altbliere was to that story. I went over to Doc Torpy's and got bandaged up, and he wanted ine for to go to the hospit'l—but I was going for to meet George McCloud." Bill raised his voice a little and threw his tones carelessly over towards the caboose cushion: "And I was the only man on the platform when his train pulled in. His car was on the hind end. I walked back and waited for some one to come out. It was about seven o'clock in the evening and they were eating dinner inside so I set up on the fence for a minute, and who do you think got out of the car? That bey laying right over there. `Where's your. ,dad?' says I; that's exactly what I said. `Dead,' says he. `Dead!' says I surprised -like. `Dead' says he, 'for many years.' `Where's the new superintendent?' says I. 'I'm the new superintendent,' says he. Well air, you could have blowed me over with an air -hose. `Go `way,' I says. What's the matter with your face, Bill?' he says, while I was looking at him; now. tears. Marion drew her over to the settee, andshe had her cry out.' When it was over they changed the subjeet. Dicksie went to her room. It was a long time before she came down again but Marion' rocked in patience; She was resolved td let Dicksie fight•i it out herself. When Dicksie came down, Marion stood at the foot of the stairs. The young mistress of Crawling Stone i Ranch descended step bystep very ' slowly. "Marion," she said simply, "I will go with you." • CHAPTER XX. At the Dike. Marion caught her closely to her heart. "I knew you would go if I got you angry, dear. But you are man . would be waiting for to meet him. 'He met me,' says Bucks; 'he's met every superintendent since my time; he'll meet you. Go right up and speak to him,' Bucks says; "it'll be all right.' " "Oh. hell, Bill!" protested an in- dignant chorus. Well what's 'er matter with you fellows? Didn't you ask me to tell the story?" demanded Dancing angrily. "If you know it better than I do, tell it! Give me some tobacco, Chris," said Bill, honor- ing onoring with the request the only one in the circle who had shown no scepticism, because he spoke English with diffi- - R 1 A so slow to anger.
