Pres- t eiitly far up the trail that led'over I Bogus and down to Tantrum Mead- 1 ows, sounded a faint, metallic click. 1 • ’loser and closer it came at Intermittent Intervals — the soun<l of a < horse's shod hoofs striking against t locks in Ihe trail; until presently up t - to the cabin rode a young man on a i 1 small, dark-chestnut horse. 1 1 / "9 Johnny-cotne-lately,’’ Monica de- t - elded. "I'd think he was one of those I , earnest, eager young college forest ] . era if it were hot for his horse. The 1 > man knows horses. That, animal is ’ , Morgan-bred, and this ranger is a I I recent transfer to the San Dimas • 1 i've never seen him before." J The stranger—he wore the forest- : ; green uniform ot a t anger—dismount- 1 a ed at a little distance, dropped his 1 v reins and came forward with easy i ; assurance. "I am presuming to call I b upon you uninvited. Miss Dale.” he : t announced. “Have I your permission i s to introduce myself?" I "It would never have occurred to me to withhold permission.” Monica I- replied. "Nor would it ever hav e oc-i i. ocurred to any man in this country to . ask it,” she added, with a frank and | friendly smile. "Up here we usually I. say ‘howdy’ whether we've been introduced or not. I'm Monica Dale. 1 " | "And I'm Anthony Garlaiul. I've ' f just been transferred to tne San r Dimas from the Cocopah Reserve in . Arizona.” | "Brought your hors e with ytfu from B the Cocopah, I 'See." Monica had, s risen and advanced to meet him. her I , right hand extended cordially. "1 l s figured'you for a stranger ten min-| [j r.tes ago, when I heard your horse ' .. rap his shoes against a rock. You're e stationed at Tantrum Meadows, aren’t i you ?” “Yes, Miss Dale." They shook | hands and Monica indicated the bench 0 -opposite her chair. The ranger T thanked her and sat down. Ij "Ami why did you figure me for a ; l! stranger ten minutes before we had s met or befor e you could possibly havei 8 seen me?” he inquired. t “That was easy, Mr. Garland. Il II heard your horse rap his shoe against L . a rock. Then 1 heard his hoofbeats e disitnctly and I noticed he did not iar terfere. When Jem Scully, your y at Tantrum, rode , over v the trail, the clickety-click of his : ii horse’s hind shoes rapping against his j front shoes always announced him. I’m afraid Jem didn't know- much a about shoeing horses. Then, too, noli body ever uses the trail at this seau son of the year except the rangers, and I had heard that Jem S?ully was f going to leave the service. Anyhov.-, r even if he had not left it he would ■ never have called on me. He’s wos man-shy.” v - "Did he ever meet you. Mis Dale?” | “Once only. (tar-, acquaintance boI * gan, ripened, withered and died over ,1 the telephone.” h "How dfTl you knowj brought my a horse with me?" r "There are no Morgan-bred horses e in this country. Where is your dog?” n "Coyotes gang-jumped him two ~ months ago, and I'm dogless.” u "You should have two dogs. Then i- the coyotes will not gang-jump them. How would you like a pair of Aire- i [. dale puppies? My dog Katie has six a too many. They’re pure-bred.” I “Thank you so much. You anticit pate my desires. I came up for the express purpose of buy.nr. i <•■•’tnie of your famous puppies. i liea'rtt 1 3 down at headquarters that you hud I some." 1 J "Oh!” Monica murmured. “I'm disappointed. 1 had an idea you were i human and making a neighborly call ? —and for that 1 liked you before I saw you. Besides. 1 do not deal in dogs.” } "I'm squashed flat!” Anthony Gar- . land replied. H e scuffed one foot t against the other, hung his head, and I I gave a clever imitation of an abashed ( J youth of twelve. ji I “Take up your pups and go,” Mon- ' , ica /Commanded him, with mock I severity. "It does seem an impos- , sibility for a Tantrum Meadows rang- ’ er to make me a pretty speech.” 1 “Please keep the puppies and let L . me stay awhile,” he pleaded. “I’ll abandon them as a penance." ! “You shall trfeept them a« a re- - ward for your penitence, Mr. Garland. | j Please be at ease and talk to me, be- ( f cause until today 1 haven’t talked to J , a human being, except over the tele- j . phon e line, in six weeks. I’m fed up > , on solitude, and I'm going to talk you I i to death if you stay. So heTe goes. ' I Whaf do you think of my view?" I Her bare brown arm was outflung to the foggy depths below. CHAPTER 6 I ’ J Garland quoted softly, with fine , ,| declamatory effect: l| . "Who hath desired th e Sea?—the im- ‘ i mense and contemptuous surges? , The shudder, the stumble, the swerve, ( ■ ere the star-stabbing bowsprit em- < erges. ' The orderly cloud of the Trades and the ridged, roaring sapphire there- ’ under— ji . Unheralded cliff-haunting flaws and , the head - sail’s low, vollejring • thunder? His Sea in no wonder the same —his Sea and the same through each wonder. His Seat that his being fulfills? I So and no otherwise —so and no oth- _ erwise hillmen desire their hills.” | J 4 “Who wrote that?” Monica de- *■ manded crisply. Her slumbrous brown ] eyes appraised him with alert yet lazy«interest. ( "Rudyard Kipling.” | “Silly of me. I should have known it. Well, hillmen may desire their ( hills, but somebody else can have the space I occupy on Bogus Look- ( out. And somebody shall have it, the g minute I can escape.” | ' “ ‘Who goes to the hills goes to / his mother," the ranger quoted.) "What’s wrong with Bogus Lookout? g

The view Is unparalleled, your cabin I Is neat and staunch, you have ant’ abmidanee of good spring water, there's a nice little meadow down 1 yonder for your horse and cow, wood Is handy, abundant und without cost 1 tu you. With a radio or a good 1 phonograph to entertain me and with 1 good books, I could live a long ami happy Ilf,, on Bogus.” “1 have all of thoso things, Mr. Garland. Nevertheless when a girl 1 twenty-one years old catchea herself talking to herself a dozen times a day, isn't it high tinio to leave Bogus? I'm ' the loneliest girl in the world.” she added, with sudden passionate vehemence. He had sufficient tact to make no ' reply to this. A less Hellcat,, nature would have Inspired him to remind her gaily that hereafter he would endeavor to alleviate her loneliness. She had left herself open to just such a banal masculine rt mark, and she had realized it the moment the words left her tongue; wherefore his silence not only relieved her of the necessity for defensive tactics, but afforded her a vague comfort. He nodded sagely. He understood. Monica liked him for that. "What was that you recited about tho surges?” she demanded. I “ 'The immense and contemptuous I surges’," he replied soberly. | “1 wonder if life is like that—immense and contemptuous?” she murmui'eil, more to herself than to him., | "Indeed it is," h P told her sagely. I “Most worldlings would become the peace and security of Bogus lookout." I "Peace and security are always to! be desired," Monica admitted, "but I've had so much of both I'm not api preciative. My soul beats against j these everlasting hills like a wild bird |in a cage. You see,” she added parenthetically, “I've never been out of the hills. The world Is a great mystery to me, aiiyl I long to-explore it.” "But sureiyyou have been away to school?” The ranger’s face was incredulous. "Graduate of the little old red school-house over at Siskiyou Center." “But your grammar — your choice ’of words — your freedom from the I slovenly mountain accent —” “One learns grammar and how to choose words even in Siskiyou Cen'ter," Monica reminded him quite seriously. "We had the sam e teacher for ten years, and she was very efficient —a university graduate. There used to be a .rumor that she had been disappointed in love and moved up into this country to hide herself; but my own opinion is that she was prim and unimaginative and thrifty and didn't care where she lived and labored, provided she could save a competence for her spinsterhood. I suppose there ; are such curious human beings as | feminine hillbillies.” “Undoubtedly,” he replied, and with sly deviltry. "I mean by instinct, not by force of circumstance," Monica flared back at him. "I'm a female hillbilly, but /haven't th e soul of one, and I'm in rebellion against my state.” “I think you must have a very superior mother, Miss Dale." "I don’t remember her. My father was a placer miner. He could not hav e been any other kind of a miner

"That's why I want to go down into the world and be immense and contemptuous, too," she explained. | He appraised her — more minutely than he had at first, and with mounting interest. She was about five feet, I live Inches tall, and weighed perhaps I a hundred and thirty pounds —all curves, at. any rate, and no angles. She had an erect carriage; her shoulers were wide and h«r bosom full; her waist flat and graceful, gently curving hips leading to slim ankles and a beautiful foot shod with Indian moccasins combined to give her a figure almost Junoesque when zshestood erect. Her hands were, like her feet, small and delicate; and they were tanned very brown; her face, too, was

The ranger decided that she was I not a beauttful girl in the sense that most people define beauty. Her head was almost, too largo for a girl', bin then (Garland decided) highly intelligent women require large heads' to hold their brains, otherwise they wouldn't be intelligent. Her hair, parted plainly in the middle and tied in a psycho knot at the nape of her adorable neck, would of course, always be the envy of other women. Very dark auburn it was, with golden lights In It. Her brow was medium high but wide, and her large, alert, sparkling eyes were set far apart. Her eyebrows were very thick and golden brown. Later tn life she would probably have them plucked to a thin line and spdll their natural beauty. Garland reflected.
