No one ever gave him credit for it; and when he went West in the spring, people said his love for Maud had been superficial. In truth, he had loved the girl as sincerely as he had hated his rival. That he could rise out of the barbaric in his love and hate was heroic. When Albert went to ride again, it was on melting snow, with the slowest horse Troutt had.
I'm glad t' see yeh!" said Troutt, so sincerely that he looked almost winning to the boy. The rest crowded around, shaking hands. "Oh, I'm on deck again." Ed Brann came in a moment later with his brother, and there was a significant little pause a pause which grew painful till Albert turned and saw Brann, and called out: "Hello, Ed! How are you? Didn't know you were here."
Gentle as a kitten and as knowin' as a fox. Drive him with one hand left hand," the old man chuckled. "Troutt, you're an insinuating old insinuator, and I'll " Troutt laughed till his long faded beard flapped up and down and quivered with the stress of his enjoyment of his joke.
He joked Troutt till Maud begged him to stop, and after the rest had gone he remained seated at the table, enjoying the indignant color in her face and the flash of her infrequent smile, which it was such a pleasure to provoke. He volunteered to help wash the dishes. "Thank you, but I'm afraid you'd be more bother than help," she replied. "Thank you, but you don't know me.
"The sun is crossing the line earlier this spring than it did last." "Yes; an' I heard a crow to-day makin' that kind of a a spring noise that kind o' I d' know what kind o' goes all through a feller."

"How do you feel now?" asked the doctor. "Can you hear us? Albert, do you know me?" called the girl. His lips moved stiffly, but he smiled a little, and at length whispered slowly, "Yes; I guess I'm all right." "Put him into my cutter; Maud, get in here, too," the doctor commanded. The crowd opened as the doctor and Troutt helped the wounded man into the sleigh.

He didn't mean t' do any harm," said Troutt, who had followed Ed down to the store. "I guess the young feller 'll come out all right. Just go kind o' easy till we see how he turns out. If he dies, why, it'll haf t' be looked into." Ed turned pale and swallowed hastily. "If he should die I'll be a murderer," he thought.

It had begun with the familiar and puzzling humiliations, but where it was to end the fluttered heart of the seventeen-year- old hardly dared to think. She had sauntered to a green bench, under great maples, with Lettice Graham and Harry Troutt and Anna Poett.
