It was morning iu Idaho, mul the
sun was beaming pleasantly upon liar- j
ry Vail as be rode alongside the Id*:
irrigating canal that he had been sent
to inspect.
I “Many settlers on the reservation.
I JIlu?” lie naked the foreman.
“They nro coming now that they see .
the canal is a go. The nearest one Is 1
Judge Band. Ills shack's U|» yonder
He's in luck. We go right through his i
! ranch.'*
Judge Hand! Vail wondered If |i
could l»o the same man he had known i
j Jong ago, lie concluded it was not
I possible.
“Which way do I take to his ranch?”
he asked.
“He's generally clearing sagebrush
this time of day. Follow the canal and
j you’ll likely run on him.”
% ail rode on. tilting his sombrero j
back and humming a love tune. He i
was in a contemplative mood this j
morning, and tin? word "Hand” carried
him hack to tin* east, where lie had
been ls>rn and bred, but whose dust tie
had shaken from Ids feet live years lie
| fore. At that time lie had been in love
with Kate Band, an imperious, self
willed girl. One fateful day she had
( announced her intention of going to a
i tnasqttcmde in the character and dress
of a page. IIis young, conservative
scruple* were horrified, lie objected,
and when she persisted in carrying out
tier intention Ids dictatorial attitude
| moved him to break the engagement.
Immediately afterward he secured an
appointment as civil engineer in the
1 west. Lately Ids love affair viewed at
i long range appeared a very hovlsh nf
| fair.
, When he came upon the solitary fig
| o«*e digging doggedly at a resisting
root he recognized the man who had
iconic so near being Ids father in law
! There were mutual recognitions of
I pleasure, and then the Judge explained
Hint he had l»ecn caught in the finan
: clal coll of Wall street and had lost all
j his worldly possessions.
"Just enough left,” he sold, “to make
1 a payment on Hit) acres hero, which I
shall put to potatoes. The spirit of the
I West lias caught me. Harry. I wouldn't
go back Into Wall street purgatory for
any consideration."
After Nail had related his own expe
riences and inquired after the fortunes
I of mutual friends he asked almost
; sheepishly:
“I)lil Kate come out here with you?''
The judge was silent for a moment.
Then lie said, with a sigh:
“Can you picture Kate in the primi
tive life? she had an opportune invi
tation to accompany some relatives on i
n trip abroad."
"And you live out here alone?" ex j
j claimed Vail pityingly.
“No. I have my helper, Rill. We
lire very Comfortable a little slmck for
a living room and dining room com !
Lined, two sleeping tents and an out
: of door oven—a place for these parts.” I
Hut Vail was not listening. Ills at
lent Ion was concentrated on a slender
ligure that was appronehlng in the dis- •
j • a lea.. The figure was clnd in khaki
i trousers, blue shirt, a red kerchief and
a snnbnnnet.
"Who in tlie world is that?" lie asked, j
The Judge turned hastily and looked I
j confused.
< Hi, that s Hill! I want him to go to j
the next much on nn errand for me.
Excuse me a moment. I will he hack.” I
He hastened toward the sunhonneted 1
| ligure, and after n moment's conversa
tion the figure turned and went (lie i
way from which If had come.
"Nour Itiil doesn't look equal to j
( turn h hard work." observed Vail dryly. :

"W.ii sci" ii good many queer sights

vaddy cold.
Ilf woudertnl what his reception t
would be, remembering the angry
parting.
“1 am very glad to sis* you. Mr.

what they call the meal out here. I

"Don't you generally prepare it?" he
couldn't help asking.
“No," she said casually. "Hill, the
help, cooks, hut he is away ”
Vail decided to accept the little fle )
tion reganllng Kill, and w hen thejud o
eatne homy and was informed by h -i
daugtiter that Dili had been called I

"Ruth.” said tin* judge in reply.
"Ruth!** Interrupted Vnll in surprise.

"Father enlls me by my mldtlie name

groxviug to be like her.”
After supper, when the judge and
Vail had smoked and chatted, a neigh
bor came to talk planting to the indue.
Harry proposed to Ruth (as |M> now

down the course of the canal, and *he
readily accepted, lie remembered how
well sin* used to ride and how well her
boyish slimness looked in the saddle,

For the next two week* every m<

that he was depriving the Judge of
Hill's help, he put in some effect it

and talks with Kate Ruth lie fell a
sense or intimacy lie had never known
when with the Kate of olden days.
‘Thirling." lie said impetuously one
night sifter a long silence, "can you
forget the past ami my boyish sup*

again, Kate?”
"I ion'll" she cried bresithl ss. “I am

He looked sit her in bewilderment.
"I am Kale's younger sister. I wsis
