their supper in the grove of pines on
the farther side, to finish the ascent

boginning the treacherous bit known
as ihe Devil's Slide, they were a pair
to catch the eye, even in that country
ef rugged men, and wholezeine women.

nicuritafin boots. The man's flannel

smooth lines of his jaw, the brightness
of his eye, the poise of his head. 1 -lis

ledge beside him and the wind tried

an army aviator, was pulled down

-waves of hair curled over her ears.

steady, brows fine and straight. lieT
thin curved adorably and her niauth
was enticing. The exertion of the last
half hour's climth had quickened the
eclat' in her cheeks.
They sat there silently, looking off
into the shadows of the valley, Then
the girl steod no. She looked almost
tiny against the great boulder, yet
strong somehow and unconquerable.
“Rearly?" asked the man.
"Yes. Let's hurry. We must not
miss any of it. It is too wonderful:"
' "All right." He went a little ahead
of her up the slippery rock. "New."
He pulled her up the incline. "Put
your foot in 'My band and try to get
a hold in that crack. If yen miss it,
flI catch you, but I think you can
make it. Pull yourself up and the
rest is easy."
The girl obeyed quickly and precise-
ly and in a moment OT two was perch-
ed on a rock above the slide.
"Catch!" Her companion threw the
hefavY weater They would need while
waiting for the moon to come and
light them clown. Then t-vitla a quick
.scramble he was beside her.
"The rest is as easy as walking ..up
stairs," he said.
They took the remaining racks
quickly and, just as the sun dipped
behind the western range, gained the
broad flat table that fornis the stun -
mit of Thumb Butte. They took off
their hats and stood in silent awe
gazing about them. To their left

off, in front, Ben Williams huddled,
and from farther still, beckoned the
slender San Francisco. peaks. At their
feet, luy Prescott, strangely flattened.
To their right as they turned, and
s-tretching far off to the West were the
unnamed nrann:tains,, range after
range, g -rowing in mystery as the pur-
ple shatclovvs folded them. Then the
sky- burst into flame. Brilliant ban-
ners streamed across the west and
cloud -piles in the most distant east
resernhied pillars of crimson, mauve
and gold. They stood together on the
rock encircled by glory.
When the glory began to lade , the
Man spoke.
"I brought you „here, Lois; in order
to tell you something. I knew I'd he
sure to have you all to myself, and
besides. ---well, I wanted to say it up
here. I think Pdi ;better begin it,
though, before the sunset fades. May-
be I wouldn't have the courage when
the sky grows gray again."
"It won't grew gray. It will: be
deep bluer, with stars, and :by and by
the moon. There's the afterglow, to,
you know. I think I love it even bet-
ter than the sunset. But start your
story, even' though you'll have no
gray background for the flnish."
She dropped, as she spoke, to a
lower rock that faced the west and
sat dov,rn there. Her companion drop-
ped beside her, but remained silent,
looking tolvard the -distant range.
"Well?"
"It's—it's hard to—to begin." There
was agony in his voice. The girl turn-
ed to look at him,
"Are you sure you really want to

"Heaven knows I don't want to te I
Our New Serial.
"The Pioneers" is the
farno-us prize novel by the
well-known author, Kath-
arine Susannah Prichard.
"One of the best written
and the rnost entrancing
stories we have read for
many a day" will be the
verdict of our readers
when they have finished
this tale of pioneer life in
Australia. The opening
Chapters will appear in
ext week's issue.
Yon," he answered, but I've got to
tell y-eu! You know --you must know
--how I Ise' -t'bout you. You're the
first woman who has ever meant any-
thing to me, the first woman except
Mother, who has ever counted in my
life. But I have no right to ask you
if you care for me until live told you
my story. And—I Can never as you
to marry rne." He spoke the last
IN oacts quietly,
"Tell me," said the girl.
.
"They've told you down there,
haven't they, the sort of fellow I was
when I first came here—up to four
years ago? 1 -low I was never sober—
spent rny laet cent for drink, then
gambled and won a little more --and
spent that? How I used to lie about
the streets—in the gutter some-
times?"
"Yes. And they told me how you
suddenly ciianged. It is the
wonderful story I ever heard. They're
proud of you down there. They say
it takes a man to throw down the
glass that's half' way to, his lips, say
he -'s through with, the stuff—and be
through., and do what you've done in
four years. Sure, they're proud!"
"They give me too much credit
about the liquor," he said. "I never
had the liquor craving,:. I kept drunk
only because I wanted my brain dulled
—I wantedto forget."
The light was fading but still she
could see the lines of suffering in his
face.
.-"It is a usual story in many ways,"
he continued. "I was an enly
With a devil of a temper. My mother
speded me. My father meant to be
stnict but he idolized my mother so
that he would not make her unhappy
by being harsh with me. But he and
I never got along. He used to rouse
my temper, seemingly ever nothing at
all, until I would be astonished myself
at the way I felt. Yet 1 adored him
and was always proud of being his
son. He was one of the inapo,rant men
of the town—a lawyer but he had
means besides what he made in his
profession. He loved the city and
did things for it.
Everybody admired him. I think
the reason that we had friction was
that I felt I was not the s,on he want-
ed. I wanted him to be proud of me
and he was not. I used to catch him
watching me sometimes with a queer
look in his eyes—a sort of ironical
leak as though he was laughing at
himself about something. It madden-
ed rne. I always kept out of his way
as much -as I could. But I liked to
hear people talk about him and I al-
ways watched the papers for any -thing,
that referred to him. When I went
away to college I missed him, I think,
more than I did my mother."
He paused,. It had grown nearly
dark now. The shadows in the canyon
had purpled almost to black. The
world seemed very far away.
"We 'usually quarreled during vaca-
tion," be went on, "and I would leave

at eallege. I did nothing' very had,
just drifted along in mediocre fashion
—except -when it came to athletics I
was not mediocre ,so far as athletics
went. Then just before graduation
I did get into a sort of scrape.
"It dad not amount to much but the
authorities made a good bit of it and

The afterglow had come. The tiny
pinet-n the farthermost range were
etched against it. The eanyans were
in deep black. Ali her life long, the
memory of that narrow, gslowing strip
of sky was to come back to the girl.
Her companion did not see it, He

„"That 'sort of thing went on for
about three years. lt is only a blur,
a sort of dulled nightmare to me now.
One day as, I was staggeringThiong,
I was sober • enough to understand
what two men were saying.
" 'There's good blood in that fel,-
