“YES HE'S GONE"
Synopsis — Dissatisfied because of
the seemingly barren outlook of
bis position as a school teacher In a
Canadian town John Harris deter '
mines to leave it take up land In
Manitoba and become a “home
steader” Mary the girl whom ho
loves declares she will accompany
him They are married and set
out for the unknown country Theja
select a homestead build a home
and put In a crop Returning from
selling his first crop "Harris finds
his wife almost Insane from loneli-
ness and with Immediate expecta-
tion of becoming a mother A son
Is born and they name him Allan
The story now Jumps forward 25
years Harris is prosperous and all
for getting rich Mary is toll-worn
and saddened over the change In
her husband AUan works on the
farm Beulah the pretty daugh-
ter Is rebellious at the shut-in
farm Ufa Jim Travers Is an un-
usual hired man and he is in love
with Beulah
CHAPTER V— Continued
“We’ll hurry up the plowing Dad
and run west before the harvest is on
us” Allan said as they rode home
through the darkness “We can’ file
niir land and get back for the fay
work Then we will go out for the
winter and commence our duties The
only question is can they grow any-
thing on that land out there?” v
“That’s what they used to ask when
we came to Manitoba” said bis fa-
ther - “And there were years when I
doubted the answer myself Some
parts were froze out year after year
and they’re among the best in the coun-
try now and never think of frost The
same thing!! happen out there and
we might as well be In the game”
To do him Justice It was not alto-
gether the desire for more wealth that
prompted Harris It was the call of
new land the call he bad heard and
answered In the early eighties the old
appetite that had lain dormant for a
quarter of a century but was still in
his blood waiting only a suggestion of
the open spaces a whiff from dry
grass on the wind-swept plains the
zigzag of a wagon-trail streaking afar
Into the horizon to set It tingling
again
So this morning father and son were
especially anxious that not a moment
of their plowing weather should be
lost and it was particularly aggravat-
ing when the hired man’s long delay
resulted in a bubbling spatter followed
by a dry hiss from the injector warn-
ing the engineer that the water-tank
was empty Allan shot an anxlons
glance down the road to the couleje
but the water team was not In sight
Seizing the whistle cord he sent its
peremptory summons into the air
Harris looked up from the plows and
the two - exchanged frowns of annoy-
ance But the water stood high in the
glass and Allan did not reduce the
speed although he cut the link action
another notch to get every ounce of
advantage from the expansion But
the water went down down In the
glass and still there was no' sign of a
further supply Allan again cut the
air with his whistle and at length
with a muttered Imprecation - he
slammed the throttle shut and jumped
from the engine
“Keep a keen eye on your fire” said
Harris “and Til go down and see
what’s wrong with him” So the farm-
er strode off across the plowed field
The delay annoyed him and he felt
unreasonably cross with Travers As
he plodded on through the heavy soil
his temper did not Improve and he
was talking to himself by the time he
came upon Travers giving his team
their wind at the top of the hill lead-
ing up from the creek
“What kept you?” he demanded
when he came within a rod of the
wagon “Here’s the outfit shut down
waiting for water and you— -7
“I’m sorry Mr Harris — ”
“Tat gln't what I asked you Ton
can't make steam with sorrow What
have yon been foolin’ about?”
“I haven’t been fooling As jo what
delayed the — well you’re delaying me
now Better jump on and ride -up
with mq” '
“So you won’t tell me eh? You
think you can do what you like with
my team and my time and it’s none
of my business We'll see 'whose busi-
ness It Is?
Harris came threateningly toward
the wagon but was met only by the
Imperturbable smile of his hired man
He thfust his foot on a spoke of tbe
wheel and prepared to spring onto the
taSk but at that moment the horses
itrirred and his foot slipped Seeing
fia fce farmer was about to fall
Travers seized him by the collar of
his shirt but In so doing he leaned
and lost his own balance when the
weight of the falling man came upon
him and the two tumbled onto the
grass in each other’s arms
Allan having satisfied himself that
the engine would take no harm had
followed his father and came over
the crest of the ridge above the coulee
Just In time to see Jim apparently
strike his employer and the two strug-
gling on the grass together In an In-
stant the young man’s hot’ blood was
In hls head he rushed forward and
Just as Jim had risen to his knees be
struck him a stinging blow in the face
that measured him again In the grass
It was only for an instant Travers
sprang to bis feet a red line slowly
stretching down his cheek as be did
so Allan came upon him swinging a
tremendous blow -at the jaw but Jim
guarded skilfully and answered with
a smash from th shoulder straight on
athe chin which laid his adversary’s
six feet prostrate before him
Allan rose slowty sober but deter-
mined and for a moment it looked as
though a battle royal were to be
fought on' tbe spot both men -strong
lean rigid hard as Iron and qulclf as
steel AUan angry careless furious
Jim calm -confident and still smiling
But Harris rushed between' them and
seized his son by the arms ’
“SJtop It Allan stop I say Tou
mustn’t fight? Jim didn’t hit me — Til
say that for hint Now quit it As
for you” (turning to Jim) “I’m sorry
for this but you have yourself to
blame Til give you one more chance
to answer md-rwhat kept you?”
- “I don’t choose to answef” was
Jim’s reply spoken in the most casual
-tone His eye was rapidly closing
where' Allan’s blow had fallen on it
but his white' teeth still glistened be-
lling a sjnlle ’ 1-
“All right” said Harris - “Tou can
go to the house and tell Mrs Harris
to pay yon what is coming” And the
fgrmer climbed onto the wagon and
took the reins himself'
When Jim entered the kitchen be
was' received with astonishment by
Mrs Harris and Beulah “Why what-
Ho Rushed Forward and Just as Jim
Had Risen to Hie-Knees He 8truek
Him a Stinging Blow in tho Face
ever has happened?” they exclaimed
Has' there been' an accident? You’re
hurt I” -
But Jim smiled and said: “No ac-
cident at all I have merely decided
to go homesteading” And he went
up the stairs to pack hlw belongings -
CHAPTER VI
Into the Night
Harris and Allan drove straight to
the engine never looking back to see
wha't became of the hired man On
the way the farmer explained to his
son what had taken place that words
had passed between them bat no
blows had beqp x struck until Allan
appeared on the scene H
“I can’t make out what got lqto
Jim that he wouldn’t answer a civil
question Jim was a good man too”-
Perhaps the disturbing suggestion en-
tered Harris’ mind that the question
had been none too civil and he was
really beginning to feel that after all
Jim might be the aggrieved party
But he crushed down such mental se-
dition promptly “It don’t matter how
good a man he was” he declared “as
long as I pay the piper Tm goln to
call the tune” '
“It puts us up against It for a wa-
terman though" said Allan' thought-
fully - ’
’ “So It does” admitted Harris who
up to that moment had not reflected
that his hasty action In dismissing
Travers would result In much more
delay than anything else that had oc-
curred “Well we’ll have to get some-
body else We’ll manage till noon
and then you better ride over to
Grant’s or Morrison’s They’ll be able
to lend a man or one of the boys for
a day or two”
At noon Jim's chair was vacant and
the family sat down to dinner amid a
depressing silence No mention was
made of the morning’s Incident nntll
the meal was well advanced when
Harris feeling that he ought In some
way to -Introduce the subject said:
"la Jim gone?” -
'“Yes he’s gone” blazed Beulah
“You’ didn’t expect he’d wait to’klss
you good-by did you?” -
“One In tbe family Is enough for
that treatment” put la Allan whose
swollen chin-and stiff neck still biased
him against Travers
“He didn’t either And If he ' did
It’s none of your business you big — ”
she looked her brother straight In the
face her swollen eyes telling their
own story and repeated deliberately
“you big coward"
Allan bit his lip ' '
“Jim’s quite a hero all right It’s
too bad he’s gone" i -
"It’s a - good Job he’s gone” said
Harris ’ “By the way Beulah talks
things have gone far enough 1 don’t
want my daughter marrying a farmer"
“Her grandmother’s daughter did"
said Mrs Harris
“Yes I know but things arp differ-
ent now I look for something better
for Beulah”
It was characteristic of Harris as
of thousands of others that although
a farmer himself he looked for “some-
thing better” for his daughter He
was resigned to Allan being a farmer
his Intimate dally relationship with
his son shrank from any possibility
of separation But for his daughter
— no He had mapped out no career
for her she might marry a doctor
lawyer merchant tradesman even a
minister but not a farmer It la a
peculiarity of the agriculturist that
among all professions be holds hir
own In the worst repute In later
years has come a gradually broaden-
ing conception that farming after all
calls for brain as well as muscle and
that the man who can wrestle a suc-
cessful llvlnjfrom nature has as much
right to hold up his bead In the world-
aa the experimenter In medicine or
the lawyer playing hide-and-seek with
Justice through the cracks In the crim-
inal code Herein Is a germ of the
cityward migration: the fanner him-
self Is looking for "something better”
for bis children
“Jim was a good man” persisted
his wife “Don’t you think you were
—well perhaps a little hasty with
him?” - " -
Harris sat back It waa his wife’s
business to agree 'For twenty years
and more she bad bee) faithful In the
discharge of that duty That she
should suggest an opinion out of har-
mony with his indicated a lack of dis-
cipline not very serious perhaps but
a seed which if permitted to flourish
’ might develop to dangerous propor-
tions - -
“So you’re goln to take his- part
too? It’s a strange thing If I can’t
handle my hired help without advice
from the house"
Mary flushed at the remark Any
open quarrel with her husband espe-
cially -before the children — for she
still thought of the man and woman
to her left and right as “the children”
—Was more painful to her than any
submission could have been It would
be so much easier to change the sub-
ject to follow the line of least resist-
ance and forgot the Incident as quick-
ly as possible But of late -the convic-
tion bad been coming hom’e to her
that some time somewhere she must
make a stand And quite unbidden-
a strange surge of defiance welled in
her when her husband so frankly told
her to mind-her own business
“I was under the Impression we
were managing this farm together
yon and I John” she said very calm
ly but with a strange ring In her
voice “When we came West I under-
stood it was to build our home I
didn’t know it was Just to be your
home”
The look of surprise with which
Harris greeted her words was abso-
lutely genuine A hot stinging retort
sprang to his lips but by a sudden
effort he suppressed It “We will talk
about that some other time Mary” he
said “If Jim had answered my ques-
tion fairly as he had a right to in-
stead of heatin’ around the bush I
might ’ve let him off But when I
wanted to know what kept him he
simply parried me makln’ a fool of
me and rubbin’ it In with that infer-
nal (mile of his” -
“So that’s what started ltt" ex-
claimed Beulah “Well Tit tell yon
what kept him if he wouldn’t The
cattle got Into the oats through j a
break in the fence and I copldn’t get
them out and the dog went kl-yl-lng
over the prairie after a rabbit and
Just as I was beginning to — to— con-
dense over it ‘Jim game up and saved
the situation What if be did keep
your old engine waiting? There are
more important things than plowing”
- “Aha!” said Harris knowingly
“Well I guess It’s just as well It hap-
pened aB it'dtd Jim was gettln’ al-
x aw Msstnln a$ wahm
together too good ftt runnln at your
heels" ‘
- “That’s all the thanks he gets for
working late and early like no other
hired than In the district All right
You and Allan can milk the cows to-
night for 1 won’t — see?” v-
"You ’ sea they’ra Uvia
and wa’ra existing” '
