CHAPTER X-(Cont!nuel)
THERE was pride and strength, the i
ring of triumph In his voice. It was
the volco of a man thrilled by his own i
strength, by the warmth of a. great
love, by tho knowledge that he was the i
protector of a. cronturc dearer to him
than all else on earth. The truth of
St set Jeanno quivering. She reached '
out until In the darkness her two
hands found one of rhlllp''", and for a (
moment she held his paddlo motion
less In midair.
"Thank you. M'sleur," she whispered
"I trust you, as I would trust I'lerre "
All tho words that women had ever
poken to him were as nothing to
those few that fell softly from Jeanne's
lips. In the clinging presence of her
fingers as sho uttered them were tho
concentrated Joys of all that he had
dreamed of In the touch of women
vile knelt silent, motionless, until her

"I a to take you to l'oit o' Clod,"
he sald.fightlng to keep the tremble
of Joy out of his olce. "And you
you must guide me."
"It Is far up the Churchill," she re
plied, understanding the question he
Intended. "It Is two hundred miles
from the biy."
He put his stiength Into his paddlo
for ten minute", and then ran the
canoo Into shore fully half a mllo
above the sand-bar. He stepped out
Into water up to his knees
"We must risk a little time here to
attend to your Injured ankle," he ix
plained. "Then you can arrange your
self comfortably among these robes In
the bow. Shall 1 carry you?"
"You can help," said Jeanne. She
gave him her hand and made an ef
fort to rise. Instantly she sank back
with a sob of pain.
It was strango that her pain should
fill him with a wonderful Joy He knew
that she was suffering, th it she could
not walk or stand alone. And yet,
back at the camp, she had risen in
her torture and had come to his res
cue. She could not bear her own
weight now, but then she had lun to
him and had fought for him The
knowledge that she had done this, and
for him. filled him with an exquisite
sensation.
"I must carry you." he said, speak.

as It sounded ocr field, meadow and
orchard there came a murmuring nnd
a stirring from the sleeping things. The
Snow Klves, snugly covering the earth
In n feathery blanket, turned into
sparkling drops of water, and trickled
with soft gurgles into tho giound.
"Hurrah, hurrah," they murmured.
"Our winter sleeping tusk Is done. Now
we can nourish and give llfti to heeds
nnd growing things, before we go laugh
ing, playing, and singing toward the
sea!"
The sugnr maple trees stretched their
limbs: "Happy sugar days," they sigh
ed. "The sap Is running through our
veins, our hearts leap with new life.
Thank you, Prince Bonnie Blue Bell, for
waking us up."
From beneath the melting snow cams
a Joyful whispering. It wns the awak

growing dajs nro here. Joy, Joy I
Thank you. Prince Bonnie Blue Bell,
for wnklng us up. Now we enn get .

In the orchard, Prince Bonnie Blue
Bell pounded his message nnd rapped
smartly on the trunks of the apple,
peach, cherry, nnd plum trees. "Await
on! Awaken'" ho shouted, but tho tress
only groaned a protest, using the words
of a song Peggy had often heard her
father sing on Sunday morning:
"ri..n.n pi unv nnd let me sleep.
Don't disturb my slumbers deep!'
Tho (llant of the Woods, who wns out
planning his Fprlng work, waved tbem
a Jolly salute.
"Hood work," he shouted "act things

Is so late this year my crops may not
have tlmt to ripen unless everything
wakes up right away."
But now hehlnd them they heard
shouts of distress from waking things.
Peggy, looking back, saw dozens of odd
creatures following In their trail. They
seemed to be undoing the work of Prince
Bonnie Bluo Bell
'The Prost Imps." tried the Prince
in dismay. "Wo will havo to fight

about all that's happened. I'rancls and
I leave for New York tomorrow, so n
to be on the Job again Monday.
I'm rather anxious to get back, for
I want to know what Bruno Duke has
to suggest as to the conduct of my poor
little shadow- of a business.
But to come back to Knrmdale,
When wo got there we found dad
much bettir. He'd had another slight
stroke, but had pulled around.
I saw the doctor and he said, "Your
father Is not well and never will bo
really well again, although he'll be well
enough to tend to business most dajs

I cannot leave any insurance to protect
mother, I'vo built up this business to
protect her. It's not the best of pro
tection, unfortunately, for It hasn't been
doing so will the last two or three
years ns previously, but it is making a
nice little profit, and I feel sure with
a more vigorous and nctlve mind run
ning It things will go better than ever."
Wo walked In silence for a few min
utes, and then dad said : "That business
is my insurance, Peter, and if anything
happens to mo It's your task to see that
tho annuity from my Insurance Is kept
going. Can I depend on ou. Peter?"
"Yes, dad," was all I said.

A humble painter I extol
Who makes lifts richer, fulltr,
He cultivates an artist soul
Uy reveling In color.
Damo Nature's hues he swift re

His yellows comes from Cuba's

And borne from the Pacific.
Krom California comes his chrome:
Kiom tho Philippines, burnt urn

Of tints a Jojous number.
And though his methods may be
crude
They btlll escnpe our strictures.
His palette Is a handcart imlo;
