was col?. "That was your nice little \

on a picnic or a dance or a barbecue, | b
even by the people who come up hero y

ranch. I want no credit from those j people,
Nate."
A break ir. her voice caused him to j
glance sharply at. her. Tears were p
railing silently down her cheeks. ( si
He gazed moodily down Even Val- r;
ley ar.ri watched the last rays of the i V
run gilding the crowns of the scat- r-'
'.ered pines. Yes. the people, of For- . 1:
lorn Valley had always been free to; i
use Eden 1 "alley for a playground. j
"They can't come to Eden Valley i
any more." he declared aloud. "Vujc;

"I wouldn't have truck with your cn-! h

She leaned over, put her arm i el
tround his neck, drew his lace ?own i n
and kissed him "I do love you. Nate.' o
And we're sufficient unto ourselves 1 a
aren't we ?" j a
He held her so close to him she. b
could hear his heart thumping with
the fierce joy that possessed him. He' s
was happy at last; the thought came j ti
to hiia that never again would he he ;
lonely. Nevertheless, he had dreamed , f
a big dream and he recoiled from the b
prospect of abandoning it. It
"We needn't be friendly with them,
darling," he resumed, "but we ian 1
sell them water, make a lot of money v
out of them and save them a lot of 1
money. And it's not altogether their c
fault that we've been ostracized. You
have got to admit we weren't a very '
wholesome crew."
"We'll ruin them," she cried, pas-1
sionately, "and when they've been Iv
ruined we'll run cattle over their '
farms, Nate."
She was still recalcitrant, for she
had been wounded deeply, and women
do not forget their wounds as '
readily as men do. "I'm not interest- 1
