CHAPTER XXII. A Speech.
OVERLAND HKU, ulttlng on a bowlder beside the roud, Ktoop- e<l und gathered up a hnndful of i)ebbles. Tben, for luck of otber Interest, he Invented u K'line of ancient and honorable origin. "She loves me," he said, tossing away a pebble. "She loves uie not." And np ¦pun another pebble. So he continued until the pebbles wore gone. "She loves me not," he muttered lugiibrlmis ly. Then his face brightened. "Of courae she don't. She loves him. That's whnt I was tryln' to get ut. anyway."
He fumbled at a liuge l)uneh of lil¬ tle red flowers <alle<l "liuniralng birds" trumpets." He arranged the hastily constructed boiKiuet to suit htm. Then he laid It on the rock.
"Aceordin" to tbe latest book on gocd tablo manners, or 'IIow to He lluppy Though I )resse(l Up,' this here bomiuet Is the Iiroper thing. They'll think I'm some wlz' when I step out .'uid pre cnl these here liuniniln'blrd.s' bugles. liulil I seen the tw n hos«os gone, und I gets wise direct. I'.nt I got to brace np. Wonder what she'll thi!ik ahout nie after hearln' what I suid last night ut the Old Meadow? i'.ee'. 1 wonder what I did suy'.' Did I cuss much'.' 1 forget. Il-m-ml (iood mornin'. folks! I—er—this here them bninniin'blnls' bugles—liowers— Iliiiijjy what's wrong with you': laughln' at?"
"You, of course.    When the posies?"
"Plcke<l 'em along the ( Just got buck." "You do look scared, lied." "Seeln"  you're  gettin'  personal,   you needn't .to think because you just been there that 1 never will."
"Say, Overland, I—we"— began Col¬ lie.
"I knowed It! I won't say a word to nobody."
Collie glanced at Louise. She nod ded. Then she gave Overland her hand. . He seized It and stood looKing Into her sweet gray eyes. "Little Uose Olrl," he said quietly, "you always was the best and kindest and beautlfullest we ever knowed. It ain't the first time you give your hund to help them that ain't fit to tou<h it If there Is any Golden Shore I guess roe und Col lie win be there just because we know ed you down here and couldn't sta.v around nohow where yoii wusn't. And. believe me. If he don't treat you fron; now on like you was a i)lumb ungel I'll—I'll ride him ott the big range and Into space quicker 'n shootln' stars! These here tlowers Is for you—not for that long legged grusshopiier rldln your hoss tliere. I shonld think Hoynr would be plumb ashamed."
"Then Colllo cun wulk," suid Louise promptly. "Collie, will you please let Mr. Summers take Boyar? I waut to talk with the president of—of my mine a Uttle while."
"Don't fuliit, Chlco," aald Overlnnd. awlnglng Into the saddle. "I always wag the 'cute little gopher with the ladles. You watcb us ride up this trail If you want to see a pair that cun ride."
Collie shook his fist at the grlnnim. Overland, who had turned as he rwl.' away. "You want to learn to act (julch when a lady asks you," called Over land. "You didn't get off this hoss an;. too spry."
Then Collie stooped und picked up ,i Uttle red flower that had dropped from the boisterous one's offering.
The Jlurshalls and Billy Wlnthro,. came In their car. The ride througi' the canyon had been pleasant. The,\ were talking atiout Overland. The.v had been discussing the rearrange¬ ment of a great many things aince the news of Louise's heritage had becoine known.
"You had better close the muffler, Billy.    You are frightening thnt pony."
"That's the Yuma colt." said Win throp.    "Overland is riding her."
"Overland?"
"Yes.    He's coming to meet us."
Plunging through the crackling greasewood at the side of the road, the Yuma colt leaped towurd the car In broad sombrero, blue silk neckerchief. blue flannel shirt and silver studded leather chaps, wus a strangely fumlllat flgure. The grent silver spurs ram; muslially as the pony reared. The figure guve easily lo the wild pluuglnL: of the horse, yet was us lirm us Iron In the sadille.
Anne drew a deep breath. It wus not the grotesijue. frockcoatod Ove.' land of a recent vlxlt, nor was It the raggetl, unkempt vision l.oulse bad conjured np for h»r In relating the Old Meadow story. Iu fuct. It was not Overland IUmI ut all, but .Jack Sum mers, the lunt'e rider of the old rsd Ablleue days lie was clean shaved, vigorous, splendidlv strong und conU 4eut. In the saddle. IkmKm ked In his ¦bowy tra|i|'lngs, siirn nnded by tils frtanda, Jack Sumniers had found his youth again, and llie [lUsi was as u •WismI hook for lhe uonce.
"i 111  tlu suid   Ove: i "Wult sUi.I bein' a  pot was a joke."
"Oriod moining: Don't gel down! Glud to see you ugaln!"
Uut Overland wus in the rc/od, hat in hand and Yuma's bridle reins over one arm.
"Mornin', Hillyl Moiiiin', doctor! You I'un right U|) lo Hie liouse. I left the gale ojien."
Then Overiand rode buck, foiiowing them. Luter hu reupueured, niliiUi spurs und ' Imps, but still <lud in the garb of the range rider. He was as proud and liupjiy as u boy. He seemed to huve dr.;p|ied ten yeurs from bis shoulders, und lie wus strangely nn like Ills old tiolsterous self wliiiul.
The noon sun crept througii Hie moon vine, out on the wide verunda was the long table. They were a hap¬ py group at limcheon there. Kven the taciturn liraiid \\'iillunis liud been per suuded to come. His native pictiir esipieness was rather effaced by a blacli, characterless suit of "store clothes."
Walter Stone ut fhe conclusion of the lunch(!on usked OverlumJ to make u ^lecch. Nothing daunted, OverluiiO rose briskly.
"I expect you're lookln' for me to fall off the roof of the cunnery into the tomato vat and make a large reil splash. Not me. I got somethln' to say. N'ow. the difference In droppln' a egg on the kitchen floor and breukin' It calmllko In a saucer ain't only the muss on the floor; you save the egg Just rtK'ont 1 como nigh to losln' my whole basket. You all know who saved 'em. Not nuniin' uny names, the sume person, by Jest bein' herself and kind to everybody, put me wise to the fact that nioney and clothes ain't all that goes to make a man. Aud. at the same time, speu!:iu' kind of orthodoxicul. money und clotlies has a whole lot to do with muUin' a man. I just got liep to tlmt id(>u recent.

He helped me pick It ont. wiiich leads Hil¬ ly Into tiii-i here thing too. He said to break tlie news gentle aud not scure anyliiKly to death und not get 'em to thlnkin' tbnt somebody was hurt or anything like tliut, so I'm breakln' it to you easy.

weat, A bleBsIng on those living here— And Ood help all the reet."
Overland sat down amid applause. He located his tobacco and papers. rolled a cigarette with one hund and guzed ncross the hills, (ilun^'ing uii, he suw Louise looking at him. He smiled. "I was settln' ou a crazy broiic' holdin' his head up so he couldn't go to buckin' out.side a little old adobe down in Yuma. Ariz., then. Did you ever drift away iike that just from somo little oid trick lo make you dream?"
At a nod from Auut Kleunor they all rose.
I»ulse 8tepi>ed from her end of the table to where Overland sio.mI gazing out across the hills.    She touched hlm lightly   on   the   urm.     He   turned  und looked  at   her   unseeingly.     His  eyes were   fllled   with   the   drtNims   of   his youth, dreams thnt liad not i-ome true —and yet—    He guzed down into her face.     His   expression   changed.     His eyes grew misty with huiipiness.    He realized   how   many   friends   he   had and how loyul and excellent tb<'y were. ; And   of   all   that   he   hud   gained   his | greatest   treasure   wns   his   love   for , Louise—for I.*)ul.se Luchurm*. the little Uose Girl  of  hk.  dreums.     rhut  love | lay  burleii  d<H.'p  In  his  ruggieil  heart, i She would never kn jw cf !t.

Desperate Diet.
It Is amazing what people will eat at a pinch.
A recent arctic explorer seriously ad¬ vised the wearing of skin clothing in preference to woolen simply and sole¬ ly liecause. If the wwst came to the worst, one's outflt could be stewed for a meal or at auy rale given to the dogs!
Well, when a man flnds enjoyment and a sort of inward .satisfaction in a stew roade of his vest, his shoelaces and his sledge gear, he must be pretty "peekIsh," and when he gets back to civilization he will make a model hus¬ band, never lil;ely to turn uji hi ^ no.-e at cold mutton on washing days.

frozen solid. Fish are piled up in I stacks like so much cordwood, and I meat likewise. All kinds of fowl are I similarly frozen and piled up. Some ! animals    brought    Into    tho    market
