Jejed the pride of the bear trainer. 8he
was nware of the silent, graceful beauty
und the laughter-provoking erlglnnlltv
of her savege, ami vain of her power
ever him; but she held her trainer's
fc.Jii Ipm8 rcntly ,!V hr crul riRbt
band. This except when nt mementa,
?r!.n1fi hls !,i.cs n. the InslgnlOcant
trappings of her soul fell from It and
she i felt a deep mysterious waver, n
fluttering at though a fortress shook.
Jt wub that profound confusion, vislbln
mere often than she knew, that kept
him n prloener of hope. Te n mnn of
his type and experience, the life he new
led was galling te every liber. His
hours of study cxhauiwl him, hls gecial
experiences bewildered him. He had
alwnys practiced self-control; it had
b0n. a "csstty of his existence, but n
million little nerves that had never been
teased into consciousness were new dally
stung nnd twisted. Great space, great
loneliness, the rare and humoreuB
speech of round-up and range, the
quaint nosing ways of pony friends, the
snewpenks, resc-tipped, Iren-gray, or
purple as goblets lllled with wine, the
fairy nspen weeds, twinkling with round
green leaves nnd llewere, the rembcr
nine trails hushed nnd lmunted, the
little sudden meadows all warm and
scented, where n stntucd bull-elk raised
us nntlcrcd head for a moment's noble
limitation befere he yielded te the trot
ting, unhurried necessity of a retreat,
the cottonweeds smoky or ablaze with
autumn, the wide gray-green plains
noble- ns the sen he would wnke nt
night and gnsp with n choked longing
for such fnmlllars. Ills ears would be
clattering with sharp, rapid, Eastern
voices, hls sensitive memory pricked
with the cold, inquisitive, plcnsuro plcnsure
seeking ceunteunnce of Eastern folk.
Hnte und leve, which after all are lonely
and noble in certain Intensities, kept
him stendy except nt Btich moments of
misery as Hclelsn had dealt him that
afternoon with hcr flippant reference te
jealousy. He hed his revenge, for Sir
Sydney's descendant, self-revealed by
U's Hush nnd leek, hud smarted for hcr
own vulgarity; but he didn't knew this
and the knowledge would hardly hnve
hern n comfort te him. In fact, he
found no comfort until he eased Ills
henrt u little by Bpcech. It wns a
cryptic speech enough one of his
aphorisms.
Q Recemcs Philosophic
"Ain't it funny, though," he said,
looking ncress the tnble nt his school scheol schoel
mnrni, who wns threading n needle
deftly, leaning close te the lamp se that
threads of fire moved about hcr curl
head, "that n woman will say tilings
that a man ceuldn t nbcer te think
about himself things that are
se, but that she ought net te let en
thnt she had found them out."
Mary looked up from her needle. "I
don't tinderstnml, (J, just whnt you
mean."
"I mean, that n mnn enn't nbc.r
lienrln' from n wemnn that she has seed
through him."
"Can't he. Q? Xe. that's true. He
can't. I've noticed that myself." She
smiled. "I haven't seen through you
jet. have I?"
The little father wns lest In n volume;
he wns standing in a peering nttltudc,
cnndle in hand, nt one of the corner
bookcases. He might well have been in
Mars as far ns any Intercourse with
them wns concerned. 1 gave him a
quick glnnce.
"Ne, nin'nm," he snid enrnestly,
"you're the most comfertnble lady I
ever knewed, nnd common."
Fer n n instant Mary was startled,
then translated the term into Its correct
Western usuiige and glowed.
"Thank you Q. I like being thnt."
"Yes, ma'am. Yeu had ought te.
Commonness Is awful scarce in Sluy
penklll. There's folks thnt nre real
low-down nnd there's nn nwful let of
re-llnement, but mighty little com
monness. Sny, nln't Mrs. Stepper's
crowd re-fined, new?"
"Yes." Mnry twinkled ever hcr sew
ing, "they arc frightfully. Hew de
Miu get te knew se ninny people, Q?"
"I don't rightly savvy, tnn'nm. Jest
by beldin' my tongue, I figure. I'm
the enlv liuninn In Sluypenklll that 11
de any listenin'. FelkR are clenn loco
tpvln' tn net n henrln'. When I have
get my cdlcntlen I nln't ngein' te be hnlf
se popular.
"What woman wns it that mnde the
mlstnke of seeing through you?" Mary
asked.
He gave her no direct reply.
"Lets of folks," he said, "crleH for
the moon, but nlmlghty few's willln' te
work for it. . .
"I have found out Bemethln about
nn cdlcntlen, nin'nm." be went en nnd
for the first time she saw the strained
leek about his mouth thnt Helolse
looked nt unseelngly se often "that It
ain't te be hnd rightly out of books.
Yeu nre doing the very best you can,
nin'nm, but I reckon it's tee Inte for
me. The kind of cdlcntlen thnt counts
ntween a man and woman is semethin'
different, and If I wns te talk ns
the history nnd geography there la and
straight ns n dictionary nnd knewed all
speked lnngungcs nnd plnyed en the
pvnnnv with nil ten fingers like thnt
little feller thnt lets the Indies call him
a poedlo-.ilog" this mysterleun re
ference was te the curly 'Tem, who
would have been surprised by it It
wouldn't rightly help me nny. When
j en come right down te it, it s get te be
semethin' deeper thnn thnt."
She daw his band clench nnd hls fnce
lese Its color. Thcie wns renl anguish
in his eyes. Hcr heart swelled te her
threat.
"Pear Q," she said, "you hnve it
thnt deeper thing."
He looked at her as though in the
midst of his apparent composure he hnd
lest the power of speech.
"Yeu want jour education' she
asked softly "for thnt?"
He nodded, nnd his eyes, nfter their
strange nnd beautiful fashion, deepened
and opened Inwardly, until she saw his
heart. ,
"Ah, Q!" It was nn exclamation
most pltitul, most understanding. It
made him wince. He turned nwny nnd
snt looking ahead of him. She watched
hls pielile a Drenze ims-reuei iikiiwni
the lighter tint of the wall. It would
net quiver, but it seemed te sharpen.
She searched ber very soul for com
fort and encouragement for him.
'She she would have te be blind if
she couldn't love you, Q."
He shook hls head, still staring in
front of him.
"Leving," said Mary, putting down
her work nnd holding it below the table
edge wilh hands that bhoek, "gees
deeper than education, Q. It's n man
iin.i weniitn thing, you knew.'
At that he turned te her as though
she bud kindled n sudden torch.
"That's whnt she said once," he mur
mured ; "thut's what I'm heldin' fast
te."
Mnrv wns, nt henrt, n mother, nnd
that slie bad found the medicine for hls
hurt comforted her own rarely. Her
spirit snng becnuse new she knew hew
te help him. Q, looking at her, row n
beauty thnt had been altogether denied
te his childhood shining In her small
fnce. He hnd nn impulse te kneel down
and put IiIb head en her knees se that
the comfort of her hands might hover
ever him. The little room wns filled
with an exquisite liuninn silence,
Mr. (Irinscoembe, looking up from his
volume, contemplated them ns through
a telescope from Mars.
