The girl read first the four letters in the same handwriting, one to mark each week she had been on the roundup. The fifth was from Judge Colton, her father's old friend, to whose bands ail his affairs had beeD entrusted. After scanning this she read again the other four. Very soon now, in the course of a few months at the outside, she and the writer would meet away from his native enviiou-men- t and in the midst of her own.
