"And then I remembered what he said about you, and I just came. Was that all right, Mr. Elden?" "You say your father is very sick?" "He don't know anybody." "Have you help a doctor a nurse?" "No sir. We haven't any money. My father spent it all for the lots that he bought from you." Dave winced. Then, turning to the young woman, "I'm afraid this is a more urgent case than yours.
He had no doubt that her vanity was equal to that supposition, but he had done her less than justice in supposing that she had had any directly personal ambitions. Her ambitions were for Irene. From her point of view it seemed to Mrs. Hardy that almost anything would be better than that Irene should marry a man who had sprung from the low estate which Elden not only confessed, but boasted.
"I could hustle him myself, but it might hurt 'im." But the injured man interrupted. "I beg your pardon," he said, "that I did not introduce my daughter. I am Doctor Hardy this is my daughter, Irene, Mr. ?" "They don't call me mister," said the boy. "Misters is scarce in these woods. My name is Elden Dave Elden." He was for dropping it at that, but the girl came up with extended hand.
He took it shyly, but it made him curiously bold. "I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Elden," she said. "I'm glad to meet you, too," he answered. "Misses is scarcer than misters in this neck o' the woods." Carefully they lifted the injured man into the wagon, and Dave drove to the ranch building with an unwonted caution that must have caused strange misgivings in the hearts of his team.
It was life without the contact of life, without the crowd and jostle and haste and gaiety and despair that are called life; but the doctor wondered if, after all, it did not come nearer to filling the measure of experience which is life.

Hardy, very angry with him, and almost equally angry with herself owing to a vague conviction that she had had if anything the worse of the interview, hurried to the telephone. She rang up Conward's number. "Oh, Mr. Conward," she said. "You know who is speaking? Yes. You must come up to-night. I do want to talk with you. I I've been insulted in my own house. By that that Elden.
You will already have been advised that David Elden was among those who fell at Courcelette. It is trite to say that you have the sympathy of a grateful nation. How grateful the nation really is we shall know by its treatment of the heroes who survive the war, and of the dependents of those who have crossed over.

"It need not, however, affect the transaction in the slightest degree. A new agreement will be drawn at once an agreement in which the firm of Conward & Elden will not be concerned." "That will be more satisfactory," said Mrs. Hardy. She intended the remark for Dave's ears, but he had moved to a corner of the room and was conversing in low tones with Irene.
Blood flowed down his face, and, as he began to realize what had occurred, it was joined with tears of pain, rage, humiliation. "You got that one on me, Elden," he said, after awhile.
