But he felt a distinct wave of relief when they were Granville bound once more. In a week they were settled com fortably In a domicile of their own live rooms In nn up-to-date npnrtinenl house. And since the snclnl demands on Mrs. William Wugstnfrs time grew npnee, u capable mnld nnd n cook were added to the Wiigstofr establishment. Thus she was relieved of the onus of housework.

But so long ns Bill found Granville hnbltable she did not mind. She wished fervently that Bill would lake up some business thnt would keep Jilm In touch with civilization. He had Ihe capital, she considered, and there wns no question of his nblllty. Her faith In his power lo encompass what ever he set about was strong. Other men, less pi f ted, had acquired wealth, power, even a measure of fame, from a less auspicious beginning. Why not he? But she could never quite bring her self to put It In so many words to Bill. The cycle of weeks brought them to January. They had dropped Into some thing of n routine In their daily lives. Bill's Interest ami participation In so cial affairs became negligible. When he was not absorbed In a book or magazine, ho spent bis time In some downtown haunt, having acquired membership in a club as u concession to their manner of life. Once he came iiomo with flushed fnce nnd overbright eyes, radiating nn odor of whisky, 'lazel had never seen him drink to ex ' row. She was correspondingly (.hocked, nnd took no pulns to hide her feelings. Bat BUI was blandly undU lurbed. "Yon m1 DMd ta look so horrl tted," lie drawled. TJ golnf? straight lo bed, little person. Scold not, nor fret. Wllllum will be himself ognln pre yet the morrow's suu shall clear Ihe horizon. Let us uvold recrimina tion. Cood night." A week or so Inter he became sud denly nnd unexpectedly uctlve. He left the house as soon ns his break fast was eaten, and he did not come home to luncheon a circumstance which Irritated Haiel, since It was one if those rait Cays when she herself V.L. "-eWl luiicheU ul home. Lute in me uilei noon he telephoned briefly that be would dlno downtown.' And when be did return, at nine or thereubouts In the evening, he clumped a cigar be tween his teeth, and fell to work cov ering n sheet of paper with Intermin able rows of figures. "What Is nil the clerical work nbout?" she Inquired. "Beckoning your nssets nnd liabilities?" BUI smiled nnd pushed aside the paper. "I'm going to promote a mining com pany." he told her, quite casually. "It has been put up to me ns a business proposition nnd I've got to the stage where I hnve to do something, or I'll sure hnve the Willies." She overlooked the latter statement; It conveyed no special significance nt Ihe time. But his first statement opened up possibilities such ns of lute she hnd sincerely hoped would come to pass, nnd she wns nil Interest. "I'roinote n mining compnny?" she repented. "That sounds extremely businesslike. How when where?" "Now here In Granville," he re plied. "You see," he continued, warm ing up a bit to the subject, "when I was prospecting that creek where we made, the clean-up last summer, I ran across a well-detlned quartz lead. f I packed out u few samples In my pockets, and I huppened to show them as well as one or two of the nug gets to some of these fellows nt the club n while bnck, Lorlmer took a piece of the qunrtz nnd hnd It nssuyed. It looms up ns something pretty big. So he nnd Brooks nnd a 'couple of other fellows wunt me to go ahead und organize nnd locnte a group of claims In there. Twenty or thirty thousand dollars cnpitul might mnke 'em all rich. Of course, the placer end of It will be the big thing while the lode is being developed. Getting the start Is easy. These fellows I've talked to are dead anxious to get in." "But" her knowledge of business methods suggested a difficulty "you enn't sell stock In a business thnt has no renl foundation yet. Don't you have to locate those claims first?" "Wise old head ; you huve the Idea, all right." He smiled. "But this Is not a stock-jobbing proposition. I wouldn't be In on it If It were, believe me. It's to be a corporation, where not to exceed six men will own all the stock that's Issued. And so far as the claims are concerned, I've got Whltey Lewis located In Fort George, nnd I've been burning the wires und spending n bundle of renl money get ting him grub-staked. He bus got four meu besides himself ull reudy to hit the trail us soon as I give the word." "You won't have to go?" she put in quickly. "No," he murmured. "It isn't neces sary, ot this particular stage of the game. But I wouldn't mind popping a whip over a good string of dogs. Just the same." "B-r-r-r!" she shivered Involuntar ily. "Four hundred miles across that deep suow, through that steady, flesh scaring cold. I don't envy them the Journey." She come over and stood by him, playfully rumpling his brown hair with her fingers. "I'm glad you've found something to loose that pent-up energy of yours on, Billy-boy," she said. "You'll make a success of it. I know. I don't see why you shouldn't make a success of nny klud of business. But I didn't think you'd ever tackle business. You have such peculiar views about busi ness and business practice." "I despise the ordlnury business ethic," he returned sharply. "But I can exploit, the resources of nature. And that is my plun. If we make money It won't be filched by a com plex process from the other fellow's pockets; It won't be wealth creuted by shearing lambs In the market, by swentshop labor, or adulterated food, or exorbitant rental of filthy deuling with. I'm not overly anxious to get Into It with them. But It promises action of some sort und I have to do something till spring." In the spring! That brief phrase set Hazel to sober thinking. With April or May Bill would sprend his wings for the North. There would be no more staying him than the flight of the wild goose to the reedy nesting grounds could be stayed. ell, u sum mer In the North would not be so bnd, she refleeed. But she hated to think of the Isolation. It grieved her to contemplate exchanging her beautiful ly furulshcd apartment for a log cabin In the woods. Still she bad hopes.

The driver mnkes frnntlc efforts to stnrt then climbs down, lifts the bon net of the engine, pokes around, makes another effort to start, throws up his hands and exclaims: "It's broken down I It won't go a foot further."

In early March came a telegram from Whltey Lewis Miylng that he hud staked the claims, both placer nnd lode; thnt he wns bound out by the Telegraph Trail to file at Hazelton. Bill showed her the message wired from Station Six. "I wish I could hnve been In on It that wns some' trip," he said nnd there was n trace of discontent In his tone. "I don't fancy somebody else pawing my chestnuts out of the coals for me. It wns sure n man's Job to cross the Kluppan In the dead of win ter." The filing completed, there wns am- pie work ic (ho way of getting out and whipsawlng timber to keep the five men busy till spring the five who were on the ground. Lewis sent word thnt thirty feet of snow lay in the gold-benrlng branch. And thut wns the lust they heard from him. He wns a performer, Bill said, not a cor respondent. So In Grnnvlllo the nffnlrs of the Free Gold Mining compnny remnlned nt o standstill until the spring floods should peel off the winter blanket of the North. Ultimately, spring oversprend the enstern provinces. And when the snows of winter successively gnve way to muddy streets nnd then to clenn pnvements In the city of Granville, a new gilt sign wns lettered across the windows of the brokerage ofllce In which Paul Lorlmer was housed.

"I hnve to go to the Klnppan," BUI apprised his wife one evening. "Want to come ulong?" Hazel hesitated. Her first Instinc tive feeling was one of reluctance to retrace the iierve-trjing trull. But neither did she wish to be sepurnted from him. "I see you don't," he observed dry ly. "Well, I can't Bay thnt I blunie you. It's a stiff trip." "I'm sorry I enn't feel any enthusi asm for such a Journey," she remarked candidly. "I could go as far as the coast with you, and meet you there when you come out. How long do you expect to be In there?" "I don't know exactly," he replied. "I'm not going In from the const, though. I'm taking the Ashcroft-Fort George Trail. I have to take In a pack train and more men and get work started on a decent scale." "But you won't have to stay there all summer and oversee the work, will you?" she Inquired unxlously. "I should," he said. For a second or two he drummed on the table top. "But Is there any real necessity for you to stay on the ground?" She pur sued her own Hue of thought. "I should think nn undertaking of this size would Justify hiring an expert to take charge of the actual mining oper ations. Won't you have this end of It to look after?" "Lorimer and Brooks are eminently capable of upholding the dignity and Importance of that sign they've got sineured across the Windows down town," he observed curtly. "The chief labor of llie ofllce they've set up will be to divide the proceeds. The work will be doue and the money mnde In the Klappnn Buuge. You sahe thnt, don't you?" "I'm not stupid," she pouted. "I'm going tomorrow," he snld. "1 think, on the whole, It'll be Just ns well If you don't go. Stay here and enjoy yourself. I'll transfer some more money to your nccount. I think I'll drop down to the club." She followed him out Into the hall, nnd, as he w riggled Into his cout, she hud an Impulse to throw her arms around his neck und declare, In all sincerity, thut she would go to the Klnppan or to the north pole or any place on earth with him, If he wanted Are Schemers In kind. He Is snd, nnd shakes his hend mournfully. "My whole evening's work will bo wasted by the time this enr's pulled bnck to the gnrnge. I won't make nny money tonight 1" As like ns not, the sympathy of his pnssenger Is aroused, nnd sho gives him n good tip In addition to the fnre Indicated by the taximeter nnd then wnlks tip Mil.

Patient Little Penny. The putlent little penny Is coming Into Its own. Not thnt It hns not hnd a ccrtnln popularity for religious collections nnd blind beggars, but asldo from the purchase of papers and matches and to put Into weigh ing machines, It has not been la her. mil hy some pecullur temluine reusoning she reflected In the same in stant that If BUI were uwuy from her In a few weeks he would be ull the more glad to get buck. Thnt closed her mouth. It was not wise to be too meek or obedient where a husband was concerned. That was another mile of wisdom she hud guruered from the wives of her circle. So she kissed BUI good-by ut the station next day with perfect good hu mor and no parting emotion of uuy particular keenness. And If he were a trifle sober he showed no sign of resentment, nor uttered any futile wishes that she could accompuny him. "So long," he suld from the cur steps. "I'll keep In touch ull I cuu." Then he was gone. Somehow, his absence mudo less dif ference thun Hazel had antkiputed. She had secretly expected to be very lonely at first. And she was not. Even when In her bund she held a telegram (luted ut a point live hundred or n thousand miles or double thut distance uwuy she did not experience the feel ing of complete bodily absence. She alwuys felt us If he were near. Only nt night, when there was no long arm to pillow her head, no good-night kiss us site dnzed Into slumber, she missed him, realized thut he was fur uwuy. b'tiiiy In June came u brief wire from Stutlon Six. Three weeks later the Free Gold Mining compnny set up a mild ripple of excitement along Broad street by exhibiting In their ofllce window a forty-pound heup of coarse gold ; raw, yellow gold, Just as It hud come from the sluice. Every day knots of men stood gazing at the treasure. BUI hud forwurded the ttrst clean-up. And close on the heels of this ten days luter, tq be exact he came home. "You greut bear," Uuzel laughed, In the shelter of his encircling urius. "My, it's good to see you ugaln." She pushed herself buck a little nnd surveyed him admiringly, with a grati fied sense of proprietorship. The cheeks of him were tunned to u healthy brown, his eyes cleur nnd shining. The offending flesh had fulleu uwuy on the strenuous paths of the Klupimn. He radiated boundless vitality, strength, ulertness, that perfect co-ordination of mind und body thut Is bred of faring resourcefully ulong rude ways. She thrilled at the touch of his hand, wns content to lay her head on ids shoul der nnd forget everything In the Joy of his physical nearness. They elected to spend the evening quietly at home, us they used to do. To Hazel It seemed quite like old times. Bill told her of the Klappnn country, nnd their prospects at the mine. "It's going to be a mighty big thing," he declared. "I'm so glnd," snld Hazel. "We've got a group of ten claims. Whltey Lewis nnd the original stnkers hold nn Interest In their claims. I, acting ns agent for these other fel lows In the compnny, stnked five more. I took. In eight more men nnd, be lieve me, things were humming when I left. And, say, -1 went in by the ranch. Old Jake hns a fine garden., He's still pegging away with the mule 'und Gretchen, der cow.' I offered him a chance to make a fnt little stake nt the mine, but he didn't want to leave the ranch. Great old feller, Juke. Something of a philosopher In his way. Pretty wise old head. He'll make good, all right." Iu the morning, Bill ate his break fast nud started downtown. "Thut's the dickens of beiug n busi ness man," he complained to Huzel, In the hallwny. "It rides a man, once It gets hold of him. Adlos, little per son. I'll get out for lunch, business or no business." Eleven-thirty brought him home, preoccupied nnd frowning. And he carried his frown and bis preoccupa tion to the tuble. "Whatever Is the matter, BUI?" Ha zel anxiously inquired. "Oh, I've got a uusty hunch that there's n nigger In the woodpile," he replied. And thut wus nil he vouchsafed. He finished his luncheon and left the house. He wus scarcely out of sight when Jimiule Brooks' runubout drew up nt the curb. A hulf minute luter he wns ushered Into the living room. "Bill in?" wus his first query. "No, he left Just a few minutes ago," Hazel told him. Mr. Brooks, n short, heavy-set, neat ly dressed gentleman, whose rather weak blue eyes loomed preternaturnlly large and protuberant behind pince nez that straddled nn insignificant snub nose, took off his glasses und twiddled them lu his white, well-kept fingers. great demand of late yenrs.

"By tho wny," he continued, after a pause, "you oh well, frankly, I have reason to believe thnt you hnve u good deol of influence with your hus band In business matters, Mrs. Wag staff." - "Well, I don't know; perhaps I hnve. Why?" "Well nh you see," he began rath er lamely. "The fact Is I hope you'll regard this as strictly confidential, Mra. Wugstuff. I wouldn't want Bill to think I,' or any of ns, was trying to bring pressure on him. But the fact Is, Bill's got a mistaken 'Impression nbout the wny we're conducting the financial end of this mining proposi tion. You understand? Very nble man, your husband, but hendstrong ns the deuce. I'm ufrnld to speak frank ly he'll create a lot of unpleasant ness. Might disrupt the company, In fact, If he sticks to the position he took this morning. Thought I'd run In und tulk It over with hlm. Fellow's generally In a good humor, you know, when he's lunched comfortably ut home." "I'm quite In the dark," Hnzel con fessed. "Bill seemed a trifle put out ubout something. He dldnTsuy what It wns nbout." "Shall I expluln?" Mr. Brooks sug gested. "You'd understand and you might be able to help. I don't as a rule believe In bringing business Into the home, but this bothers me. I bate to see a good thing go wrong." "Expluln, hy ull means," Huzel promptly replied. "If I cun help, I'll be glnd to." "Thauk you." Mr. Brooks polished his glasses Industriously for a second und replaced them with painstaking exactitude. "Now nh Mils Is the sit uation ; When the company was formed, five of us, Including your hus band, took up enough stock to finance the preliminary work of the undertak ing. The remaining stock, seventy-five thousand dollars In amount, wus left In the treasury, to be held or put on the market ns the situntlon warranted. With the first deun-up, BUI forward ed facts nnd figures to show thnt we had a property fnr beyond our great est expectations. And, of course, we snw nt once that the thing was ridicu lously undercapitalized. "So we held a meeting and author ized the secretory to sell stock. Nut urnlly, your husband wnsn't cognlzunt of this move, for the simple reuson that there wus no wuy ot reaching him und his Interests were thorough ly protected, nnywny. The stock wus 'Very Able Man, Your Husband, Dut Headstrong as the Deuce." listed on Change. A good bit was dis posed of privately. We now have a large fund In the trensury. It's a cinch. We've got the property, and It's rich enough to pay dividends on n million. The decision of the stock holders is unanimously for enlarge ment of the cnpltnl stock. You under stand? You follow me?" "Certnlnly," Hazel answered. "But whnt Is the difficulty. BUI?" "BUI Is opposed to the whole plnn," he said, pursing up his lips with evi dent disapproval of Bill WngstnfT and nil his works. "He seems to feel thnt we should not hnve tnken this step. He declares that no more stock must be sold ; thnt there must be no enlarge ment of cnpltnl. In fnct, thnt we must peg nlong in the little one-horse wny we started. And thnt would he a shame. We could muke the Free Gold Mining company the biggest thing on the map, nnd put ourselves on Easy street." He spread his hands In a gesture of real regret. "Bill's u fine fellow." he snld. "nnd one of my best friends. But he's a hard man to do business with. He takes n very pecullur view of the mat ter. I'm nfrnld he'll queer the com pnny If he stirs up trouble over this. Thnt's why I hope you'll use whatever Influence you have, to Induce hlm to withdraw his opnosttlon." "Ilnt," IItizil murmured, In some per plexity, "froih whnt little I know of corporations, I don't see how he enn set up nny difficulty. How can he stop you from tnklug nny lino of nctlon whatever?" "Oh, not that nt nil," Brooks hastily assured. "Of course, we can outvote hlm, nnd put It through. But we wnnt hlm with us, don't you see? We've n high opinion of his nblllty. He's the sort of man who gets results; prac tical, you know ; knows mining to n T. Only he shies nt our finnnclnl method. And If he began nny foolish, litigation, or silly rumors got started nbout trouble nmong the compnny officers, It's bound to hurt the stock. It's nil right, I nssure you. We're not foisting a wildcat on the market. We've got tho goods. Bill admits that. It's the reg ular method, not only legitimate, but good flnnnce. Every dollar's worth of stock sold hits the value behind It. Distributes the risk a little more, that's til. and gives the company a fund to operate tmeeessfully. "If Ttlll mentions it, yon might sug gest thnt he look Into tho mntter a little more fully before he takes any definite action," Brooks concluded, ris ing, "I must get down to the ofllce. It's his own Interests I'm thinking of, as much as my own. Of course, he couldn't block n reorganization but we want to satisfy hlm In every par ticular, nnd, nt the same time, carry out these ptnns.
