She walked down the long room toward the dining tgble and side- board at the far end and he heard giass clinking and liquids gurgling as he sat looking about with that 2 | small part of a smile on his features. Ail along the walls were books and above the cases hung trophies of the country: heads of deer and elk, a pelt of a mountain liongand of a bobeat, a pair of magnificent sheep's | horns and a stuffed eagle.

He then set the empty tumblers on the mantel and turned about with a ques- tioning smile on his lips. The sharp, slowly dwindling hiss of quenched flame which followed com- pletely died out before she spoke. Color had leaped into her cheeks and ebbed as quickly; her lips had shut in a tight line and for a fraction of time it was as though she would angrily demand explanation, But she said evenly enough: “I don’t understand that.” ‘I'm glad you didn't show how mad it made you,” hw replied. “But why What wade you do it?” “You ead, you know, that you wanted that liquur to go where it'd help your future.

I'm mighty glad to give you advice; I thought this was a good way to begin.” Jane gave a queer laugh and sat dowm looking blankly into the fire. She turned her face after a moment and found him studying her as he sat at the other end of the daven- port, “I understand your meaning,” she said, “but you're as startling in your actions as you must be in your rea- soning.

You guessed a‘ minute ago that there wasn't much objection to hard liquor here. I told you you were right; fnost of us boys drink, but we-can afford to and you can't.” His manner was light, almost to the degree of banter, as if that which had aroused her was the simplest of matters. “A man in this country don't build a reputation on many things. So long as he’s honest, he gets along pretty well, But a woman; that's dif- ferent. She has to make perple know she's right in everything she does.” “An occagional drink will make her less right?" “Not a bit less, ma‘am, but it won't help other folks to know she’s right And that's all that counts, Ever: body, man or woman, into the West has to ma by what he does here; ak nothin’ that has been, good or bad, matters.
