following the great Inrush oT 18S2. The
boundless prairie reaches of Manitoba
were now comparatively well settled,
and the tide of Immigration, which,
after a dozen years’ stagnation, had
set In again In greater flood than ever,
was now sweeping over the newer
lands still farther west. The vast
sweep of the horizon, once undeflled
by any work of man, was pierced and
broken with elevators, villages, and
farm buildings, and the whiff of coal
Bmoke was blown down the air which
had so lately known oniy the breath
of the prairies.
Mary Harris hurried about her ca-
pacious kitchen, deep In preparation
of the evening meal. The years had
taken toll of the freshness of her
young beauty; the shoulders, In mute
testimony to much hard labor of the
hand, had drooped forward over the
deepening chest; the hair was thin-
ner, and farther back above the fore-
head, and streaked with gray at the
temples; the mouth lacked the rosy
sensuousness of youth, and sat now
in a mold, half of resolution, half sub-
mission. Yet her foot had lost little
of its sprightliness, and the sympathy
Id her fine eyes seemed to have deep-
ened with the years.
A moist but appetizing steam rose
from the vegetable pots on the range,
and when she threw back the iron
door to feed more coal the hot glow
from within danced In reflection along
the bright row of utensils hanging
from the wall, and even sought out
the brass plate on the cream separa-
tor at the far end of the big room.
Through the screen door come the mo-
notonously redunddfct die • * • a
* * * clank of the windmill, and a
keen ear might have caught the light
splash of water as it fell in the wood-
en horse troughs from the iron nozzle
of the pump.
Mary stuck a fork in a potato to as-
certain if the “bone” was all gone,
meanwhile shielding her face from the
steam with the pot lid, held aloft in
an aproned hand. Having satisfied
herself that the meal was making sat-
isfactory progress, she stepped to the
door and sent a quick look across the
fields, to wKere a streak of black
smoke was scrawled along the sky.
‘'Beulah," she called, turning to-
ward the interior part of the house.
“Come, Beulah, set the table. They're
coming from the field.”
In a moment a girl of twenty, plain-
ly attired in a neat calico dress, en-
tered the kitchen. She was fresh and
beautiful as her mother had been that
first summer In the sod house on the
bench, and something In her appear-
ance suggested that with her mother’s
beauty and fine sensibility she had In-
herited the Indomitable spirit which
hod made .Tolin Harris one of the most
prosperous farmers in the district. She
moved in nn easy, unconscious grace
of self-reliance—a reliance that must
be just a little Irritating to men of
old-fashioned notions concerning wom-
an’s dependence on the sterner sex—
drew the long wooden table, with Its
covering of white oil cloth, into the
center of the kitchen, and began plac-
] ing the dishes in position.
The scraping of heavy boots on the
plow share nailed to the block at the
door, and John Harris, followed by
Allan and the hired man, Jim, walked
into the kitchen. The fanner’s frame
was heavier than In his younger days,
and his hair, too, was streaked with
gray, but every muscle In his great
body seemed to bulge with strength.
His face was brown with the prairie
sun and wind of 25 summers, and
lines of worry and care had cut. their
tracings about the mouth and eyes.
Beside him stood Allan, his only Hon,
■traighter and llther of figure, but al-
infj. “My brudder ban there, too."
“Is that so? What year?”
“Ach, he not ban there year. Da
j vudge ylist say, you Axel, sixty
days in vail.”
| they had returned home the in
j spired Chester chirped, "Mama,
