"There is no need of imagining such terrible things, but I am glad Dr. Brown is to be here. It is quite providential. I am sure he will put poor Mr. Romayne right. Kathleen, dear," continued the mother, turning to her elder daughter, "I think it would be very nice if you would run over to-morrow while Mrs. Waring-Gaunt drives to the station. I am sure it is very kind of her."
By Jove, he is some looker too," replied Mr. Duckworth with reluctant enthusiasm. "And there is the High River Captain," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, "on the grey." "Oh, yes, Monteith, he played for All Canada last year, didn't he?" said Nora with immense enthusiasm. "He is perfectly splendid." "I hear the High River club has really sent only its second team, or at least two of them," said Mrs.
"No," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, "but at the top of the rise beyond, where you will get the full sweep of the country in both directions." "Is that where we get your lake, Nora," inquired Jane, "and the valley beyond up to the mountains?" "How do you know?" said Nora. "I remember Larry told me once," she said. "That's the spot," said Nora. "But don't look around now. Wait until you are told."
Tom Waring-Gaunt found his great, warm, simple heart overflowing with delight at the tremendous news that had come to him. It was more than his nature could bear that he should keep this from his wife. He found her immersed in her domestic duties and adamant against his persuasion to drive them to the mine.

"Very well; get ten or fifteen thousand for me," said his brother-in-law. Within two days Mr. Waring-Gaunt found that the stock had all been disposed of. "Energetic chap, that young Switzer, got all the stock placed none left, so he told me."
He does not believe in the possibility of war. But I think that if there is a chance, even the slightest chance, of it being true, it is so terrible that we all ought to be making preparation to defend ourselves." "Well, if it won't bore you," said Jack, "I shall tell you a few things." "Then excuse me," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "I have some matters to attend to.
I can't quite explain her fascination for me. There's perfect sincerity to begin with. She is never posing. And perfect simplicity. And besides that she is so intellectually keen, she keeps one alive." "I just love her," said Kathleen. "She has such a good heart." "You have said it," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, "and that is why Jane will never lose her charm." When the week had fled Dr.
"Here she is." Out from the woods, striding into the clearing, came a young girl dressed in workmanlike garb in short skirt, leggings and jersey, with a soft black hat on the black tumbled locks. "Hello, Kathleen, dinner ready? I'm famished. Oh, Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, glad to see you." "And my brother, Nora, Mr. Jack Romayne, just come from England, and hungry as a bear." "Just from England?
"I mean, my dear," replied the mother, "that we shall no longer be ranchers, but shall become coal miners. Let us think it over and perhaps you might consult with some of our neighbours, say with Mr. Waring-Gaunt." "Surely, surely," replied her husband. "Your advice is wise, as always.
