He told her of the coughing at- tack in the saloon as they moved along the thin, worn carpeting. That was all he told her.

She turned to Montana. “Will you see that a grave is dug in the cemetery this afternoon?” When he nodded she went on: “And find out if there’s an undertaker in town since I went East last fall. There wasn’t then. But if not, then old Henry Appleby over at the store will take care of him.” “Tll go over and see,” he said, and went downstairs. ‘HEY buried Holland Forrest the following’ morning in the little cemetery among the trees a half-mile north of town.

Belle and Helen Forrest came out, ready for travel. Montana looked at the latter and new respect for her rose within him.
