Theso they put. one at a tlmo Into tho long, narrow bags which were Just big enough to hold fifty when careful ly packed ono on (op of another. Kato sewed up tho bags as soon as they were filled and Tom dropped thorn through tho bung holo Into an empty water barrel. When tho bank was empty. Tom carried tho water barrel outside and attached It to Its place be aide tho wagon, after which ho filled It from another barrel In (ho yard. This done, he returned to (ho house .Hid olept till morning. It was Btltl early when they Blurted from floldbunks across tho detcrl. Hoth of them were plrnHcd ns Punch over their now wheeled borne. It was Iho moHl comptoto nnd convenient thing of tho kind they had over ccu. Everything had a plane, from (ho rifle which hung nutipeuded from a rack In (ho wagon within reach of Toni'fl baud, to tho coOklng cabinet (hat swung snugly Into plnco above the folding ta ble. "We'll be ever so happy." sighed Kale with deep content.

Hut wo'll bo going so rnsl she'll ueer rccognUo me." Shn felt excited nnticipntlon. The tar mounted a steep little hill and rousted down beautifully (o n level strelch between bIohc alls, back or which undent miiplca grow, A half mile ahead stood a dccnjlns gray fiirmhoiiso, with rultiuua outbuildings. A touplo of cows and nu old bnj horse, hobbled by (ho halter atrap (led 10 hlB knee, wore grnxlng in the hither field A few chlekeus (hat were tak ing dust baths lu Hie rond fluttered to safety. A great bladc-and-buff dog bounded toward (hem down the road barking. As Ada leaned forward wakiiiug the car gave a Jolt and the corner whero sho was sltllng dropped perceptibly. She was not alotiucd. 'Iho big automobile stopped at once. "What'B (ho matter, lyiuls?" "Wheel off," replied Hie chaulfour. He had ceased to be calm. Ada looked back. The wheel lay on Hu bank; the tln was a long way from it. Hitch a disaster meant a long de- Acce oIted.

Annette felt, at times, like sumo imprisoned uoiil Hint, behind in visible barn, wutches tho freer spirits mating, loving, tullllllng life's demnnds and desires. Then the mood passed.

Nor did anything occur to chnugo their opinion during (ho first two weekB of their Journey. They were well across the divide, drawing down toward ono of Califor nia's famous scenic valleys, when that occurred which brought the steel Into Tom's sunny blue eyes. At WnHey'a Hump (hey had slopped (0 camp for a week. The Ashing was good nnd Tom's rifle scoured (hem plenty of grouso and quail.

Letty was twenty, and Ada was eighteen, ihey worked hard. Ada was always discontented.

And when Ttobert Itoyal came visiting at tho old farm that college vacation he had cared much for Letty.
