〃Yes;〃 said Demorest; 〃but what has that to do with it?〃



〃Nothing; I reckon;〃 said Jack; with a slight shrug of his

shoulders; 〃only Mrs。 Horncastle was the mother of the boy that's

lying there。〃



        。        。        。        。        。        。



Two years later as Demorest and Stacy sat before the fire in the

old cabin on Marshall's claimnow legally their ownthey looked

from the door beyond the great bulk of Black Spur to the pallid

snow…line of the Sierras; still as remote and unchanged to them as

when they had gazed upon it from Heavy Tree Hill。  And; for the

matter of that; they themselves seemed to have been left so

unchanged that even now; as in the old days; it was Barker's voice

as he greeted them from the darkening trail that alone broke their

reverie。



〃Well;〃 said Demorest cheerfully; 〃your usual luck; Barker boy!〃

for they already saw in his face the happy light they had once seen

there on an eventful night seven years ago。



〃I'm to be married to Mrs。 Horncastle next month;〃 he said

breathlessly; 〃and little Sta loves her already as if she was his

own mother。  Wish me joy。〃



A slight shadow passed over Stacy's face; but his hand was the

first to grasp Barker's; and his voice the first to say 〃Amen!〃
