ing my own share toward helping
you win your fortune. We’re going
out there, together, my darling. And
It will be the happiest honeymoon
any girl ever had. Just think bow
jelly it will be to look back at when
we're millionaires! I wouldn't miss
it for worlds. How soon can we
start?”
The westward Journey wss a de
light to them both. They felt they
were nearing the Promised Land.
The two-room shack, a half mile
from the mine mouth, among the
towering Oregon mountains, seemed
to Leila a tiny paradise.
With a will, she set herself to
learning her new duties as frontier
house-wife. It was. as she had pre
dicted, "one long picnic.” The moun
tain air gave her an appetite that
could digest even her own first ef
forts at burned cookery; and a vigor
that carried her through the far
heavier tasks of sweeping, scrubbing
and clothes washing.
Her gingham dress was a novelty.
So was her big husband's costume of
corduroys, flannel shirt and thick
b/bots. Even the damp, black recess
es of the mine were a fairyland to
mer.
Then, Imperceptibly-—day by day,
week by week—came a subtle
change In both bride and groom.
Tom’s fiery enthusiasm for work
was not proof against months of dis
couragement at the mine. Funds
were ebbing; the force of workers
was shortened; and not a sign of
the promised gold was found.
With dogged determination Carter
totted on; working twioe as hard
as any miner In his employ. But It
was the bulldog determination of a
beaten man who will not confess de
feat No longer did he feel the joy
ous seat of a fortune seeker; but
rather the spirit of a pugilist who.
hopelessly outclassed, clenches his
teeth and fights on.
Leila, too, was finding that **one
long picnic” may in time bear a
strange resemblance to "one long
nightmare.” The tasks that had at
first seemed a Joke were now a
dreary reality.
To rise in the dark of a winter
morning when the mercury was 10
degrees below zero: to thaw water
over a smoky stove for cooking a
tasteless breakfast; to bend for
hours over a washtub, scrubbing otl
stalned rough garments; to sweep
an.l scour and mend, from dawn to
dark —this was no Paradise, at the
least, to the gently reared girl, but
a foretaste of Its opposite.
And Tom's lack of success began
to get on her high-strung nerves,
even as his glumly discouraged face
drew all the livelinet-s and sparkle
out of her heart. She wo* very
tired, very unhappy, utterly disillu
sioned. She grew careless about her
own appearance and that of her
borne. And her handa had become
red and coarsened.
Bo matters stood, one spring morn
ing, when a long delated letter reach
ed the cabin. It was addressed to
Leila and was from Nellie Cclllns,
the girlhood chum who had been her
bridesmaid.
Forgetting that the breakfast dish
es had not been washed and th it the
morning cleaning was still to be
done, Leila sat down to read the
lengthy and rambling letter.
As she read, the gossipy scrawl of
her chum seemed to lift the tired
woman out of her dull routine and
to waft her back to the fluff-brained
gayety of earlier days. The recital
of Nellie Collins’ dally amusements

She read slowly and with morbid

The silly lines burned themselves
into Leila Carter’s brain In a rush
they brought back visions of what
might have been tier's, If she bad
not rejected this richer sweetheart.
She looked dully around the squal

with ibe American Automobile asso

in automobile racing, to allow thes*'
races In Detroit In spite of the fact

people: deep, soft cushions; springs madeof the best spring steel,
scientifically heat-treated, accurately suspended and balanced. You

Japped TQTXC& Second, because the Maxwell is a tnm, smart, good-looking car.
Many makers of heavy, high priced cars, as you know, have copied the
general lines, the shape of the body and hood of the MaxwelL This is
more of a compliment than an infringement.
Service Third, because the Maxwell, being a product of thirteen years evolution,
is so dMiped and manufactured that it gives unfailing, consistent and
and satisfying service to thousands of owners.
Maxwell cars are made of the best materials that money and brains can
buy ana they are made right . You can get out of any car only what
is put into it
