Last week Charlie unearthed a toll-blood squaw trom whom your father had gotten two hundred and forty acres for an old sewing machine and twenty-five dollars.

"After I faced what would come to John Levine through this, I can face anything.'' Billy gave a litt)e groan and bowed his head on Lydia's knee. Suddenly she felt years older than Bllly. She smoothed his tumbled blond hair. "I told you all the battles of the world were fought for a woman," he said. "Dear, I'll go on, though It'll break mother's heart."
