“Jeon!"
"Yes, I know what you’re thinking.
But It would break the routine, any-
way ; it wouldn't be that way I would
lose my soul; perhaps that way 1
might save It.'”
'You’re a strange girl, Jean.”
'Ye*? After all these years? I am
so glad. As long as I am strange you
will be Interested In me. That's the
trouble with yon; you're not strange.
I know all about yon. And I wouldn't
be your housekeeper for life f>r the
a he of being your lover for a week*
<*. "Jean!”
”81 locking, isn't It? But true. Don't
you know that's what happens, nearly
always? It must happen, unless there
are new points of interest always aris-
ing. 1 have the misfortune to think,
and so 1 see these things In advance,
and try to shield you from them.”
"The misfortune to think?”
"Of course, otherwise I could ac-
cept the nx routine and grind out my
soul In the treadmill of three meals a
day. I suppose that's what people call
morality—Ideal wife and mother, etc.
I’d run away front It all."
I, too. punched the snow with m.v
heel. "1 never heard you talk like
that, Jcaii," 1 said at length. "1 didn't
think you thouglrt—along those lines
You wouldn't excuse people who run—
who disregard their marriage vows?"
“The dm of which is to love," she
shot hack. "When that fails, all fails
Why make a mockery of It?"
“But 1 would love you. always—al-
ways. You wonld he to me the only—
the only possible girl In fhe world 1"
ftlowly she turned her face toward
me; she had been giving me »n op
portuniiy for proftle study during this
dialogue. Her eyes found mine; her
Ups—in them again I saw the rose
loaf beauty of her childhood. When she
spoke her voice was low and tremulous
.anil musical.
"You dear boj 1 You think so,
only wish it were tree!”
Th* last Words came with a catch
hi her breath, 1 thrust forward and
clasped her hands in mine.
“You mean that? Oh. Jean, If yon
do. . . . .’’
"Yes. 1 mean It. That Is the great
difficulty. It isn't tree. You wouldn't
love me always. I wouldn't always be
the only girl."

live penned up In such a—a pasture."
“You'd he breaking out—toward sec-

claim.
"Yes. toward section Two. You've
done some plain tnlking. Jean; now
It's my turn. It Is Spoof that has up-
set your mind—put all these wild no-
tions ln your head. It Is Spoof that
yon are thinking about, not me. I sup-
pose you think you could marry him
and not drop into the routine; you
would be less an ox, as yon pat It, on
Two than on Fourteen. Perhaps that
Would be best, after nil. Perhaps If
you were fenced In on Two, you might
break out toward Fourteen I”
"Frank I Please don't be unkind—
and unfair, . , . I am thinking
about Spoof, nnd It Is just because he
Is not bounded by section Two. You
nnd Jack and Jake think he's a green-
horn, and you play your silly little
tricks on him. but Ills world is the
world, and yours Is Fourteen, au>l
Jack's Is Twenty-two, and .lake’s Is—
whatever his section Is. He’s so big,
so big!"
*T see. Spoof bus traveled more
than we have. He has soon more of
the world. Ho lias met more people.
And so he Is big! I bet 1 grow more
Oats to the acre than he does—you
should sat* Id* plowing; looks like—
'be guess ami he d—d.' Jake says."
"Quite an elegant remark; suitable
to Jake, hardly to be expected from
you. And your argument would he ir-
resistible—If I were an ox.”
•"You’re sharp, aren't you? Well,
something to eat Is not to he d «;>iaed.
even hy big people, like you and Spoof.
Even the soul, which you are afraid of
losing on Fourteen, will pick up and
leave you on Two, unless you feed that
body ln which It lives. That's what
the soul Itself thinks about people who
don’t huslle for a living; It gets up and
leaves them."
"Good for you!" cried Jean, "You
are actually thinking. I have goaded
you Into It. Now—where are we?"
"We're at Spoof. You say yon could
love roe for a week, and him forever."
“I didn't sny that."
"Y'ou ns much as said It. Spoof may
have advantages—I admit Ills travel,
and all that—but will those things
keep him big? Won't section Two
bound hitn In a year or so, Just as you
sny Fourteen bounds me now? Is be
different clay; less ox, more seal?”
“Section Two ean never hold Spoof,
because he—because he is big, dou't
you see? He rends, lie thinks, he
sings, he dreams. No section can hold
one who does those things."
"Does he write |>oetry?" 1 Inquired,
Innocently.
“I—I don't think so.” said she, not
scenting my trap, “hut he Is very fond
of It. You should hear him read—”
"Hear him read ‘Come to me, . . .
Spoof!"
She turned to me fairly again. She
had withdrawn her hands from mine
and was crushing little crusts of snow
between her mittens. Now she dropped
the snow, shook her hands free of Its
powdery residue, then linked them
about her knee. For a long moment
she held me under her eyes without
blinking.
“So you saw that, did you?"
"Jean—I'm sorry. I apologize. 1
saw It by arcklent—I couldn't help
that. I could have helped speaking
about It. I apologize."
Then her eyes dropped. “It was
very foolish,’’ she murmured. "You
have a right to lie amused."
'But I’m not amused," 1 protested.
“And I’m not sure It Is really foolish.
At any rate. I’ll confess something.
Jean; when T found It I tried to write
• poem—to you—but I couldn't. The
only rhymes I could think of were Jean
and bean.”
"Splendid! Oh, Frank, I’m begin-
ning to be afraid—to hope—that I
didn't quite know you, after all. Fancy
you trying to write poet ry—and about
uie I Let's write a verse uow. I’ll help
you."
She whipped a mitten from her hand
and sat with her fingers lightly drum-
ming on her lips, summoning the muse.
"You'll have to write It,” I said. *TII
sign It."
“All right 1" she exclaimed at length,
and turning to the huge drift behind
us she traced on Its hard surface with
lier forefinger this Inscription:
If you will only be my wife.
No matter wlmt the pnsi has been
I'll take k broader view of life
And try to keep yon guesting. Jean
“Oil, yon used my rhymes I” 1 ex
claimed. "But Isn't that last line
slangy?" t said, when we had It well
laughed over and 1 had added at the
side an Idealistic sketch of Jean's face
under a bridal veil My drawing
rather lost Its poiut in the fact that l
had to explain what It was.
“No, not slang—poetic license. That's
a great advantage pnpts have; any-
thing that lsn'J quite good F.nglish can
always be called poetic license. Now
aign it"
I signed It in bold, printed letters,
and then we fell into silence.
"What's the answer. Jean?” I said
at length.
“Oh, Frank, t can't give you an an
svrer—not now. That may have been
slang, a bom keeping me guessing, bat
It goes a long way down In one’s na-
ture. If you wonld only r< and
study, and think, and learn to appre-
ciate beautiful things—”
"Oh. Jean. 1 do! I appreciate you."
•■Bather clever. Frank, but that lso.'t
know Is pigweed, and he takes note of
little things, like when 1 worked a
new strip of lace Into the yoke of my
dress, and when 1 put a dash of scarlet
ribbon in my hat he said it gave me
Just the touch of color that one needed
on the prairies and It was no wonder
that the Red Indians loved color, nnd
how much wiser, ln some things, they
were than we, and—’’
“He was spoofing you, Jean.”
"lie wasn't."
“Then he was making love to you.
"Perhaps. But It was very nice.
You never noticed my lace or my rib
hon. You didn't even notice this cup
l have on today; I made It out of an
old muff, nil myself, nnd I Just said to
myself, ‘I wonder if Frank will notice
it,' but you didn't—”
“I did, too. I saw it first thing, nnd
I thought how nice it looked on you.
“Spoof would have said how nice 1
looked under It.”
“Oh, (1—n Spoof!"
“Spoof's au artist, Frank. You're
not.”
“Nor yet a poet. But I reckon I’ll
make a good farmer."
“We thrashed out the OX question a
while ago. Let’s keep on new ground.
"Very well. Here's some new ground
When did Spoof tell you all these
things? I understood he hadn't come
Into five house all the lime we were
away.”
"He didn’t either—hardly. But he
used to come over regularly to see that
everything wns all right about the
place and to have his ‘bawth,’ and he
had the handsomest bathing suit-
white and yellow trlgimlngs—and Mar-
jorie nnd I fixed up battling suits, too,
and we used to go In—”
“Together?”
“Of course. Only Marjorie only went
ln once or twice; she said she was
afraid of the frogs. . . . Marjorie
is a knowing girl.”
"My own sister! And she would
conspire. . . .’* I crunched a clump
of crust viciously under my heel.
“Well, seeing that you have con-
fessed. I suppose t should own up.
too," I said, after a silence. "I never
told you that there was a girl out
where 1 worked this summer.”
“No? What was she like?" Jean’s
voice was steady, hut I caught a new
note In It. It augured well for my first
attempt at romancing.
"Oh, she wns n nice girl, all right,
ller folks thought she would make a
good ox. but she didn't quite fall In
line. She had that broader vision
you set so much on. Sort o’ hinted
that she and I might do well running
a rooming house at Moose Jaw; they
say things are humming at the Jaw.
Bather suggested—1"
“Oh, Frank, she never did! .
Wanted you to marry her, I suppose?"
“No, she didn’t Just say that. But
she's big, you know; takes a big view
of things. Of course. It might have
come to that ln time. I remember one
afternoon it ruined and we couldn’t
work in the fields and that night she
and I went to a dance—”
"Does she dance well?”
"Oh, quite well. And free. You
know-nothing standoffish, or anything
like that Well, the storm came up
again during the night, and we couldn’t
get home, and It was only a small
farm house so some of ns had to sleep
In the hayloft, nnd Nellie said she’d
be a dead game sport—"
“Now, Frank, don't tell me any more.
I don't believe It. . . . Wlmt hap
pened next?"
“Oh. nothing much. It wns about
noon when we got home, nnd the old
man was pretty sore, but I told him 1
thought a good deal of Nellie and
wouldn’t mind marrying her If It camt
to that, and I asked her to came ovei
here and visit us next summer—"
“You're lying. Frank. Let's g<
home."
As we walked home In silence, trail
Ing our sleigh, the nip of the late after
noon stung our cheek* to roses nnd out
breaths trailed behind like the gaspotn
tall of a very young and leisurely
comet. Jean complained that one ol
her hands was growing cold so I took
the mitten off It and drew the hand
down into my deep, warm overcoal
pocket, where we took all precautions
against frostbite. The other hand
bnd to take a chance.
We walked along the bottom of the
gully for shelter from the wind which
was rising with sunset. As we neared
Twenty-two Jean stopped.
"Frank, 1 want to ask you a ques
tlon," the said. "There was no truth
lu that story you told me?”
"You carer
“Of course I care. Tremendously.”
“Don’t you want me to be big?”
“Not that way. I’ve been talking
about intellectual thinga—spiritual
things."
"I suppose Spoofs bathing suit, with
the white and yellow, Is quite spir-
itual?”
“That Isn't fnlr."
"Oh yes it Is. It is merely the other
o* getting gored.”
"Anyway, your story wasn’t true?
You made It up to tease me?"
“If I answer your question will you
answer mine?”
"I can't Frank, I can’t—not Bow.
1 haven’t seen Spoof since Christinas.
Perhaps he's sick. Perhaps he's dead.
Something awful may have happened."
“His smoke goes up every morning
Just the same.'*___
