CHAPTER V.
, -5-In
Deep Water.
The dawn thrust aside night's som
ber curtains while they ate, revealing
sky overcast with ulaty clouds. Wlrnt
with her wanderings of the night he
fore nnd the Journey through the dark
with Itoiirlug Kill, she had absolutely
no Men of either direction or locullty.
The Infolding timber .shut off the out
look. "Do you suppose I can get home In
time to open school?" she Inquired
anxiously.
Itoitrlng Hill smiled. "I don't know,"
e Answered. "It nil depends."
"You know where you ure now,
don't you?" she asked.
"Not pxnetly," he responded. "I?ut
I will before long I hope."
The ambiguity of Ids nnswer did not
awape her. She puzzled over It while
Jiilk iimbled sedately behind the other
omen. She hoped that Iilll Wngstnff
knew where he wns going. If he did
of but she refused to entertain the
alternative. And she began to watch
rngerly for some sign of familiar
round.
Vor two hours Hoarlng Hill trampled
through aisles bordered with pine and
jpruce nnd fir, th'rough thickets of
aerry bush, nnd ncross limited areas of
jrussy meadow. Not once did they
rross a road or n trail. Eventually Hill
nlted nt n small stream to get n drink.
Hazel looked lit her watch. It wns
aalf past eight.
"Aren't we ever going to get there?"
t&c culled Impatiently.
"Pretty Roon," lie called back, nnd
itruek out briskly ngnln.
' inother hour passed. Ahead of her,
trading one pack horse nnd letting the
thcr follow iintrnmnieled, Itoarlng
Kill kept doggedly on, halting for noth
ing, never looking back.
They crossed a ravine nnd slanted
wp fl steep hillside. Presently Hazel
mold look nwny over nn nren of wood
land undulating like a henvy ground
swell nt sen. Here nnd there ridges
stood forth boldly nbove the general
roll, nnd dlstnntly she could descry a
white-capped mountain range. They
tnrned the end of n thick patch of pine
arruh, and Hill pulled up in n small
ncnlng. From n case swinging nt bis
belt he took out n pair of field glasses,
and leisurely surveyed the country.
"Well?" Hazel Interrogated.
"Nothing in sight. Is there?" Hill snld
thoughtfully. "If the mm was out,
bow. Funny I can't spat that Soda
Creek trail."
"Don't you know this country at
if!?" she said gloomily.
"I thought I did," he replied. "Hut
1 can't seem to get my bearings to
work out correctly. I'm awfully sorry
to keep you In such a pickle. But It
ran't be helped."
He took up the lead rope and moved
n. They dropped over the ridge
rrest and once more Into the woods.
Untiring Hill made bis next halt beshle
a spring, and fell to unlashing the
packs.
"What nre you going to do?" Hazel
asked.
"Cook n bite, nnd let the horses
praze," he told her. "Do you realize
that we've been going since daylight?
It'a near noon. Horses have to eut and
rest once In n while. Just the same us
human beings."
The logic , of this Hazel could not
well deny, since she herself was tired
and ravenously hungry. Hy lier watch
It wns Just noon.
Hill hobbled out his horses on the
grass below the spring, made a fire,
nnd set to work cooking. lie worked
silently at the meal getting, fried
steaks of venison, and boiled n pot of
coffee. They ate. He filled his pipe,
nnd smoked while he repacked. Alto
gether, he did not consume more than
forty minutes nt the noon halt. Hazel,
now .woefully snddle sore, would fain
have' rested longer, and, In default of
resting, tried to wulk and lead Silk.
Untiring Iilll offered no objection to
that. Hut he bit n faster gait. She
could not keep up, nnd he did not
slacken pace when she began to fall
behind. So she mounted awkwardly,
und Silk Jolted nnd shook her with his
trotting until he caught ty with bis
mates. Kill grinned over 1 shoulder.
' "You're learning fast," ho called i
bnck. "You'll be uble to run a pack
train by and by.''
The nfternoon wore on without
brlugtcj them uny nearer Cariboo
Meadows so far ns Hazel could see.
Traveyng over n country swathed In
timber nnd diversified in contour, she
could not tell whether Roaring Iilll
ewung In a circle or bore straight for
tome given point.
She called a halt at four o'clock.
"Mr. Wngstnff!"
Iilll stopped his horses and came
back to her.
"Aren't we ever going to get any
where?" she asked soberly. "I'm
nfrald I can't ride much longer. I
could walk If you wouldn't go so fast,
Aren't there any ranches In this coun
try at nil?"
lie shook his head. "They're few
nnd far between," he said. "Don't
worry, though. It Isn't n llfe-nnd-denth
matter. If we were out here without
grub or horses It might be tough.
You're In no diinger from exposure or
hunger."
"You don't seem to renllze the posi
tion It puts me In," Hazel answered. A
wove of despondency swept over lier,
nnd her eyes grew suddenly bright
with the tears sh3 strove to keep back.
"If we wnnder nround In the woods
much longer, I'll simply be a sensation
when I get bnck to Cariboo Meadows.
I won't have a shred of reputation left.
It will probably result In my losing the
school. You're a man, nnd It's differ
ent with you. You can't know what, a
girl has to contend with where no one
knows her."
Roaring Iilll looked up nt her Im
pnsslvely. "I know," he said, as if
he hnd read her thought. "But what's
the difference? Cariboo Meadows Is
only a flea bit p. If you're right, and
you know you're right, you can look
the world In the eye and tell It col
lectively to go to the devil. Besides,
you've got a perverted Idea. People
aren't so ready to give you the bad eye
nn somebody else's say-so. It would
take a lot more, thnn n flash drum
mer's word to convince nic tbut you're
n naughty little girl. Pshaw forget
It!"
Hazel colored hotly, but for the lat
ter part of his speech she could have
hugged him. Bill Wagstaff went a
long way, In those brief sentences,
toward demolishing her conviction that
no man ever overlooked an opportunity
of taking advantage of a woman.
"Well, let's get somewhere," he said
abruptly. "If you're too saddle sore to
ride, walk a while. I'll go .slower."
She walked, and the exercise re
lieved the cramping ache In her limbs.
Roaring Bill's slower pace was fast
enough nt that. She followed till her
strength began to fall. And when In
spite of her determination she lagged
behind, he stopped at the first water.
"We'll camp here," he said. "You're
about ull In, and we can't get anywhere
tonight, I see plainly."
Hazel accepted this dictum as best
she could. She sat down on a mossy
rock while ho stripped the horses of
their gear and staked them out. Then
Bill started a lire and fixed the roll
of bedding by It for her to sit on.
Dusk crept over the forest while he
cool; ed the supper, making a bannock
In the frying pun to take the place of
bread ; and when they had finished eat
ing and washed the few dishes, night
shut down black as the pit.
They talked little. Ilnyel was In the
grip of utter forlornuess, moody, wish
ful to cry. Roaring Iilll humped on his
side of the lire, staring thoughtfully
Into the blaze. After a long period of
abstraction he glanced at his watch,
She Walked and the Exercise Relieved
the Cramping Ache in Her Limbs.
then nrose and silently arranged her
bed. After that he spread his saddle
blankets nnd lay down.
Hazel crept Into the covers and qui
etly sobbed herself to sleep. The huge
and silent land appalled her.
As on the previous night, she wnk-'
ened often and glanced over M the lire.
Roaring Iilll kept bis accustomed posi
tion, flat In the glow. She had no fear
of hi in now.
Night passed, nnd dawn ushered In n
clearing sky. Ragged wisps of clouds
chnsed each other ncross the blue
when they set out again. Hazel walked
the stiffness out of her muscles before
she mounted. When she did get on
Silk, Roaring Bill lncreused his pace,
lie was long-legged and light of foot,
apparently tireless. She asked no ques
tions. What was the use? He would
eventually come out somewhere. She
was resigned to wult.
After n time she began to puzzle,
and the old uneasiness cUmo back. The
last trailing banner of cloud vanished
and the sun rode clear In an opal sky,
smiling benignly down on the forested
land. -She was thus enabled to locate
the cardinal points of the compass.
Wherefore she took to gauging their
course by the shadows. And the result
was what set her to thinking. Over
level and ridge nnd swampy hollow,
Roaring Bill drove straight north In
an undevlatlng line. She recollected
that the point from which she had lost
her way had lulu northeast of Cariboo
.Meadows. Even If they bad swung
In a circle, they could scarcely be
pointing for the town In that direction
For another hour Bill held to the
northern ll'ie as u needle holds to the
pole. A swift rush of misgiving seized
her.
"Mr. Wngstnff!" she called shnrply,
Roaring Bill ttopped, and she rode
Silk up past the puck horses.
"Where ure you tnklug me?" she do
mnndeil. "Why, I'm taking you home or try
ing to," be answered mildly.
"But you're going north," she de
clared. "You've been going north nil
morning. I wns north of Cariboo
Meadows when I got lost. How can
we get back to Cariboo Meadows by
going still farther north?"
"You're more of n woodsmnn thnn I
Imtr.'lned," Bill remarked gently. He
stnl ed up nt her, und drew out his
pipe and tobacco pouch.
Hie looked at him for' a minute.
"Do you know where we nre now?"
she usked quietly.
He met her keen gaze cnlmly. "I
do." he made laconic nnswer.
"Which wny Is Cariboo Meadows,
then, and how far Is It?" she demand
ed. "ileneral direction, south," he re
plied slowly. "Fifty miles more or
less. Rather more thnn less."
"Ami you've been leudlng me
straight north!" she cried. "Oh, what
am I rilng to do?"
"Ki .p right on going," Wagstaff an
swered. "I won't I won't !" she Unshed. I'll
find my own way back. What devilish
iinpu'se prompted you to do such a
thing?"
"You'll, have n beautiful time of it,"
he said dryly, completely Ignoring her
last question. "Take you three days
to wall; there If you knew every foot
of the way. And you don't know the
way. Traveling In timber Is confus
ing, as you've discovered. You'll never
see Crflboo Meadows, or ony other
place, if you tackle It single-handed,
without grub or matches or bedding.
This Is a whopping big country. A
good many men have got lost In It
and other men have found their
bones."
He let this sink In while she sot
there on his horse choking buck a wild
desire to curse him by bell, book and
candle for what he had done, and hold
ing In check the fear of what he might
yet do. She could not escape the con
clusion that Roaring Bill Wagstaff was
something of a law unto himself, ca
pable of hewing to tho line of his own
desires at nny cost. She realized her
litter helplessness, nnd the realization
left her without words. He had drawn
a vivid picture, and the instinct of self-
preservation asserted Itself.
"you misled me." She found her
voice nt last. "Why?"
"Did I mislead you?" he parried.
Weren't you already lost when you
came to my camp? And have I mis
treated you In any manner? Have I
refused you food, shelter or help?"
"My home Is In Cariboo Meadows,"
she persisted. "I nsked you to take me
there. You led me away from there
deliberately, I believe now."
"My trail doesn't happen to lend to
Cariboo Meadows, that's nil," Roaring
Bill coolly told her. "If you must go
back there, I shan't restrain you In
nny way whatever. But I'm for home
myself. And that," he came close
and smiled frankly up nt her "Is a
better pluce thnn Cariboo Meadows.
I've got a little house back In the
woods. There's grub there, and meat
In the forest, nnd fish In the streams.
It's home for hip. Why should I go
back to Cariboo Meadows? Or you?"
"Why should I go with you?" she
demanded scornfully.
"Because I wunt you to," he mur
mured.
They matched glances for a second,
Wagstaff smiling, she half horrified.
"Are you clean mad?" she nsked an
grily. "I was beginning to think you
a gentleman."
Bill threw bnck his hend nnd
laughed. Then on the Instant he so
bered. "Not n gentleman," he snld.
"I'mji plain man. And lonesome some
times for a mate, as nnture has or
dained to be the way of flesh."
"Get n squaw, then," she sneered.
"I've hourd that such people as you
do that."
"Not mo," he returned, unruffled. "I
want n woman of my own hind."
"Heaven save me from that classifi
cation!" she observed, with emphasis
on the pronoun.
"Yes?" lie drawled. "Well, there's
no profit In arguing the point. Let's
be getting on."
lie rencbed for tho lead rope of the
nenrest pack lurso.
Hazel urged Silk up n Rtep. "Mr.
Wagstaff," she cried, "I must go back."
"You can't go back without me," he
said. "And I'm not traveling that way,
thank you."
"Please oh, please !" she begged for
lornly. Ronrlng Bill's face hardened. "I
will not," he said flatly. "I'm going to
play the game my way. And I'll ploy
fair. That's the only promise I will
mnke."
She took a look at the encompassing
wowls, and her heart sank at facing
those shadowy stretches alone and un-
gulded. The truth of his statement
that she would never reach, Carllioo
Meadows forced Itself home. There
was but the one way out, and her worn
an's wit would have to save her.
"Go on, then," she gritted, In a swift
surge of anger. "I am afraid to face
this country alone. I admit my help
lessness. But, so help me heaven, I'll
make you pay for this dirty trick!
You're not n man ! Y'ou're u cur a
miserable, contemptible scoundrel!"
"Whew!" Roaring Hill laughed.
"Those are pretty names. Just the
same, I admire your grit. Well, here
we go!"
He took up the lead rope, and went
on without even looking to see If she
followed. If he had made the slightest
attempt to force her to come. If he had
betrayed the least uncertainty as to
whether she would come, Hazel would
have swung down from the saddle and
set her face stubbornly southward In
Bearing on Hia Shoulders a Canoe.
sheer defiance of him. But such Is the
peculiar complexity of a woman that
she took one longing glance backward,
and then fell In behind the packs. She
was weighted down with dread of the
unknown, boiling over with rnge at
the man who swung light-footed In the
lead; but nevertheless she followed
him.
All tho rest of the day they bore
steadily northward. Hazel had no idea
of Bill Wngstaff's destination. She
was too bitter against him to ask, after
admitting that she could not face the
wilderness alone. She knew nothing
of the North, but she thought there
must be some mode of communication
or transportation. If she could once
get In touch with other people well,
she would show Roaring Bill. Of
course, getting back to Cariboo Mead
ows meant n new stort In the world,
for she had no hope, nor any desire,
to teach school there nfter this epi
sode. She found herself facing that
prospect unmoved, however. The Im
portant thing was getting out of her
present predicament.
Roaring Bill made his camp that
night as If no change In their attitude
had taken place. To all his efforts at
conversation she turned a deaf ear and
a stony countenance. She proposed to
eat his food and use his bedding, be
cause that was necessary. But Hoclully
she would have none of him.
Thereafter, day by day, the miles un
rolled behind them. Always Roaring
Hill faced straight north. For a week
he kept on tirelessly, und a consuming
desire to know how far he Intended to
go began to take hold of her. At last
they dropped Into a valley where the
woods thinned out, and down the cen
ter of which flowed u sizable xlver.
This they followed north a matter of
three days. On the west the valley
wall ran to n timbered ridge.
Then the stream they followed
merged Itself In another, both wide and
deep, which flowed west through a
level-bottomed valley three miles or
more In width. 'Roaring B141 halted on
the river bank und stripped his horses
clean, though It wns but two In the
afternoon and their midday fire less
than an hour extinguished. She
watched hint curiously. When his
packs were off he beckoned to her.
"Hold them a minute," he said, and
put tlie lead ropes In her band.
Then he went up the bank Into a
thicket of saskatoons. Out of this he
presently emerged, bearing on his
shoulders n canoe, old and weather
beaten, but stanch, for It rode light
as a feather on tho stream. Bill
seated himself In the canoe, holding to
Silk's lead rope. The other two be
left free.
"Now," he directed, "when I start
across, you drive Nigger and Sutln In
If they show signs of hanging back.
Bounce a rock or two off them If they
lag."
Her task wns nn easy , for Satin
and Nigger followed Silk unhesitat
ingly. The river hipped along the
sleek sides of them for fifty yards.
Then they dropped suddenly Into
swimming water, and tho current swept
them downstream slantwise for the op
posite shore, only- their heads showing
above the surface. Hazel wondered
what river It inlg-ht be. It wns n good
quarter of n mile wide, nnd swift.
Ro.irlng Bill did not trouble to en
lighten her as to the locality. When
he got back he stowed the saddle und
pack equipment In the canoe.
' "All aboard for the north side," he
said boyishly. And Hazel climbed obe
diently amidships.
On the farther side, Bill emptied the
canoe, and stowed It out of sight In n
convenient thicket, repacked his
horses and struck out again. Ilnzel
drew upon her knowledge of British
Columbia geography, and decided that
the big river where Bill hid his canoe
must be the Fraser where It debouched
from the mountains. And in that cast
she was far north, und in u wilderness
indeed.
Her muscles gradually hardened to
the saddle and to walking. Her appe
tite grew In proportion. The small sup
ply of eatable dainties that Roaring
Bill had brought from the- Meadow
dwindled and disappeared, until they
were living on bannocks baked n la
frontier In bis frying pan. on beanf
nnd coffee, and venison killed by tin
wny. Yet she relished the coarse fare
even while she rebelled against the cir
cumstances of Its partaking1.
"Do you realize," she broke out one
evening over the lire, "that this Is sim
ply abduction?"
"Not at all," Bill answered prompt
ly. "Abduction means to take away
surreptitiously by force, to carry awoj
wrongfully nnd by violence any hntnnn
being, to kidnap. ' Now, you can't by
nny stretch of tho Imagination accuse
mo of force, violence or kidnaping
not by n long shot. Yoti merely wan
dered Into my camp, nnd It wnsn't con
venient for me to turn back. There
fore circumstances not my act, re
member made It advisable for you to
accompany me. Of course I'll admit
that, according to custom nnd usage,
you would expect me to do the polite
thing and restore you to your own
stamping ground. But there's no law
making It mandatory for n fellow to
pilot home a lady In distress. Isn't
that right?"
Hazel, arriving at "Roaring
Bill's" cabin, learna that she can
not hope to get word to anyone
in the outside world before
spring and that she must make
the best of the aituation, which
the finds not to bad aa it might
be, owing to "Roaring Bill's"
consideration for her. The next
installment tella of Hazel'a in
troduction to thia new life in the
wilds.

BALLOON LIKE BIG TADPOLE
Latest French Aircraft for Observation
Purposes Requires Fifty Men
to Maneuver It.
Among tho latest triumphs of the
French aerial service Is an observation
balloon, mimed "Le Cuquot," writes a
Paris correspondent. In shnpe It re
sembles u great tadpole. Whereas oth
er types are Inconvenienced by a wind
of from 00 to 55 feet a second, Le
Cuquot can remain In the air unless
the wind exceeds 05 to 75 feet per sec
ond.
It takes 50 experienced men to ma
neuver It, for as soon as It leaves the
shed great attention must he paid to
tlie wind currents, so as to save the
envelope from being torn. Attached to
the balloon Is n wicker car, In which
the observer Is Installed with his maps,
charts, arms, barometers, and tele
phone, the latter fixed over his ears so
as to leave bis hands free. He Is also
provided with glass and a white silk
parachute for an emergency.
When the balloon attains an alti
tude of from 2,000 feet to 3,000 feel
the windlass to which the cable Is fixed
Is drawn by horses or uiotor car nt a
moderate pace to a point near the en
emy lines, where a refuge excavated
In the soil has been prepared. This
accomplished, the observer transmits
his Instruction by telephone.
Two untl-alrcraft posts are estab
lished nearby to keep off enemy air
planes. If the balloon Is menaced the
crew bring It down from 5,000 feet in
seven to ten minutes.
Kate Field's Prophecy.
When, a good many years ago, Kate
Field wrote those Never verses begin

she guessed how tremendously' thnt

by Ihe coming of tho year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred nnd seven

an exchange, the great world wur Is
responsible for the very rapid advance
the women tiro making In every sphere
of the world's work. We are no longer
surprised to find that women are dnlng
anything and everything that men enn
do, from driving warplanes to shining

which only women nre employed Is
now doing business In Boston, yet even
this Innovation scarcely challenges at

not nn original observation, but Its
truth was made manifest to me one

I. Regarding Marriage (vv. 1-12).
Tho question touching divorce, which
the Pharisees temptingly put to Christ,
brought forth teaching which exhibits
marriage In Its true light.
1. Should not be detinded by (II
vorce (vv. 1-0).
Divorce was not Instituted by God.
The marriage relationship Is Indls
soluble. Moses suffered divorce, II nr
Ited and regulated It. Its existence,
Its practice, Is Indicative of the course-
ness and porvorseness of man.' Sin Is
Its real cause.
2. Marriage Is God's primal law (vv,
0-0).
The Ideal law of life for the sub
, Jects of the kingdom of marriage. This
Is proven by the fundamental fact of
sex. The union of the male and fe
male natures Is physical, mental nnd
spiritual. In marriage, the male nnd
I female nntures nre mutnlly comple
mented. God's Intention Is that man
should not be without the woman, nor
the woman without the man (1 Cor.
11:11).
3. Remarriage of the divorcer Is
' adultery (vv. 10-12).
Tho marriage relationship enn only

' of the fact that marriage Is for life,
men nnd women should not enter this
relationship without very serious con
sideration. Divorce for other than

The union of the mule and female

lays the foundation for family life.
The Issue of such union Is children.
In connection with the divine law of
mnrrlage, It Is fitting that Jesus should
set forth his estimate of children nnd
Interest In them. The disciples con
sidered It beneath the dignity of the
Master to spend time with tho chil
dren. Those who think It beneath
their dignity to give attention to chil
dren should ponder well the words
of Jesus. This will give tlie disciples
proper consideration for work among
children, nnd also to the nurture nnd
discipline of their own children.
Christian men nnd women will regard
children ns the property of tho Lord,
nnd will esteem It a high nnd holy
privilege to train them for him. Due
attention to Christ's teaching regard
ing children would transform the homo
life of society.
III. Regarding Riches (vv. 17-31).
1. Tho young ruler's question (v. 17).
This question reveals a void In his
henrt. lie was n young man with n
! lovable character. The Savior's af
fections were enraptured hy him. Ho
wns moral, honest, earnest nnd cour
ageous, lie had a wrong conception
of eternal life. lie thought that eter
nnl life could bo obtained by good
works. Though ho claimed to have
kept tho law, ho wns conscious of
something lacking. He was willing to
do something to fill up that which wns
lacking; therefore ho enme to Jesus
making Inquiry ns to thnt lack.
2. Jesus' reply (vv. IS, 19).
Ho knew the young man's henrt. nnd
put his finger on the weak spot. When
It enmo to parting with his posses
sions In order to help bis neighbor ho
parted with the Lord, going away sor
rowful. This revealed the fact that
ho was n covetous man, a violator of
tho tenth commandment.
3. Lacking one thing and yet lost
(vv. 21, 22).
When the Lord pointed out to him
that tho defect In bis life was the love
of his money, he wns unwilling to pny
the price. When the time enmo In
his life to choose between eternnl life
nnd riches, ho chose wealth nnd pnrt
ed company with Christ, perhaps, for
ever. 4. The peril of riches (vv. 23-31).
The difficulty does not lie In tho fact
that n man possesses riches, for a man
may possess great riches and still bo
an heir of the kingdom. Wealth Is n
mighty power. In Itself It Is good.
It will provide bread for the widow
and orphan, amelioration for the suf
fering, nnd send the Gospel of Christ
to the ends of the earth. The
step from possessing riches to trust
ing In them Is a very short one. The
tendency of growing wealth Is to de
stroy the nobler life of the soul. Many
of the most useful men In ancient nnd
modern times have been men of
wealth ; but they, like Abraham, chose
to live In tents, looking to the heav
enly city which hath foundations. As
long ns n man possesses riches he Is
safe, but ns soon ns riches possess the
man he Is In deadly peril.
Life for Dally Wear.
"The life hid with Christ in God" U
n life meant for dolly wear. It Is
meant, It Is made, to ho lived out In
Its sweet, cheerful, hallowed hrlftht
ness, "at nil times nnd In nil places."
Everywhere and always this contact
