There were miners in dark clothes and peak caps; citizens in ordinary garb; ranchmen in wide cowboy hats and buckskin shirts and leggings, some with cartridge-belts and pistols; a few half-breeds and Indians in half-native, half-civilised dress; and scattering through the crowd the lumbermen with gay scarlet and blue blanket coats, and some with knitted tuques of the same colours.

There are the weekly bills to be thought of, and the furnishing, and the rent, and a servant, and oh! a hundred things, wound up the elder girl, with knitted brows. 'The weekly bills won't come to more than we can pay weekly, and as for a servant what do we want with one?

Errol smiled upon her with much kindness, but her tone did not encourage further inquiries. Anne lay silent for a little. It was a difficult matter to handle. "Did he send no message?" she asked at last, with knitted brows. "I thought or did I dream it? that your son said he was coming." "To be sure he did," said Mrs. Errol.
