The air was warm and balmy. llL would have been difficult for any- | one not acquainted with the country, and the temperature of July, to real- ize that this was Alaska. “Dear Mr. Benson,” ran the letter. “We beg to inform you that, in acoord- ance with the terms of your late fath- er's will, all the property except the limited estate entailed, goes to your younger brother. You are, however, Baron Linfield, and, as such, are now the owner of Linfield Manor. Kindly wire us instructions as to your plans. “We wish to add that, inasmuch as the upkeep of the estate far exceeds the rent-roll, it would be to your in- terest to sell this to your younger brother. to the will, made by your father in his last illness.

He saw her watching him silently that night. Like a faithful hound she knew his moods—her lord’s moods. Natusha watched him with a dumb, aching at her heart. She had seen the change in him. At midnight, when he thought Natu- sha was sleeping, Benson arose noise- leasly from his couch. He had his mackinaw and overshoes ready, for the nights were cold. When he had disappeared Natusha kneeled at the bedside a moment in prayer. She prayed to the God of she slipped out after him. <€ memory of Natusha seemed to slip from him. He was a boy once more, § in the Sussex lanes, heartfree, He remembered the final angry scene with his father, the old man’s futile wrath at the son who had dis- honored his name It had been the act of a goaded man, desperate for money, but Benson could only hang his head before the old man's scathing words. “It ever temptation comes to you again, sir, remember what you have done and try with all your might to | conquer it,” he had said. | Suddenly he stopped dead. Why, | this was the temptation of which his | father had spoken. He was doing now a thing still more dishonorable than that which he had done before. What was the uee of being Baron Linfleld it he was a scoundrel to boot? Benson sat down and fought his battle out. tuition one who watched him from a near hiding place knew that the God whom the missionaries had told her, | as she had never prayed before.

There had ever been a lurking devo | tion to art in the rude but healthy | nature of the voung rancher. He ! could not draw, but he had a wonder- ful sense of color values and color beauty.

The agony on the man's face was stronger than the suffering on hers. Forgetting all, daring his wrath, | Natusha glided up to him. She kneeled | at his side and put her arms around | him. And, in this position, she whispered something to him, a woman's secret that made his heart leap as hers was beating then. Benson rose to his feet. The hag- gardness was gone from his face. He saw his duty. He saw the years of ease and dishonor stretching before him, on the one hand, and, on the oth- er, years of honor. He could make himself respected. If he could not win | recognition for Natusha, he could for his daughter—or his son. And the | hieir would be Raron Linfield, if it was a boy. If a girl—well. 8 Natusha drew his arm th-ough hers, and together they went back in si- lence tow 1 the cabin. They entered, n, ng out the letter, de- ately tore it to pieces.
