But he was accustomed to packing. He bore the meat on his pack-hoarand his half of the two quarters on the pole with as little difficulty as Iluxby toted the other end of the pole. When the reached the camp Miss Ramill and her father were out gathering wood. At one end of the fire, thick smoke was rising from greeD sticks and leaves; at the other end, the pan of sliced muffle was boiling hard. After he and Iluxby had lifted the moose quarters upon the rack. Garth brought water In the aluminum pot and cooled down the stew to simmering heat Miss Ramill had much to learn about the culinary art. After the meal Garth glanced at the red afterglow of sunset. Mr. Ramill, the leanto and blanket are for you and your daughter. Huxby can take the lee side of the fire. I'll keep It going. Turn In whenever you please. A yawn surprised Lilith Ramill Into a mocking laugh. She turned to her swollen-facefiance. What a howling farce, Vivian! Can you Imagine me going to roost at sunset, instead of sunrise?" Huxby forced a smile and felt at a particular sore cluster of bites on the back of his npck. Sir. Ramill cast a wistful glance towards the leanto. I presume, Lilith, you will prefer not to share the hut with me. Perhaps I can manage out here beside the fire, like Vivian. No, Garth differed. Youll sleep under that blanket until you have hardened Into shape, and youll turn in now. Its been a big day for you." The girl bridled. How about my wishes and the proprieties?

The thrust proved too much for Huxby. He sat silent. Garth went on with his quiet argument: All that Is now past history. Were more concerned with the present and future. Mr. Ramill has shown common sense by facing the facts of the situation. He has fallen into line. The question Is, do you and Miss Ramill throw in with us. or do you go on your own? If with us, I'm tq be chief. How about it? Huxby had cooled- - down enough to see the point. You win. 1 Join ' up." Miss Ramill looked puzzled and a bit alarmed. What's the great Idea, Vivian?"

For the first time since they had met, the girl gave him a genuinely friendly smile. Thats decent of you, Alan. How soon can you make them? Cut me a steak off that nearest leg of moose. While youre cooking It, I'll see what can be done. When she returned the knife and started to broil the great slab of meat she had sliced off, he laid out a pair of lynx skins. A few knife strokes cut off the great paws and slit the legs into thongs. When the girl brought him his broiled moose steak, he showed her how to wrap a skin around each leg like a legging, tying It with the crossed thongs. hair-padde- d high-toppe- There you are, Miss Ramill.

So here is some information for you. JUST To begin with, as no doubt you know, It was revealed shortly after the announcement of their marriage was made that she's not a bride at all; they were married three years ago. But that fact was kept secret ; she was known as his manager, and that was all. Just her being his manager was enough for Hollywood, when Lanny went out there to make a picture, Hollywood was accustomed to mothers who managed their daughters but was quite unprepared for what It got from Mrs. Ross. She announced that all communications must be made to him through her. You can Imagine how the director loved that I She was to come to the set early, to prepare things for him. And so on and on. From the movie center came rumblings. Ross was all right; he might have a career In pictures If It werent for that manager of his And presently Hollywood had had enough of the combination. As for what Mrs. Ross looks like, I can tell only what was told to me. The other night, said my Inform-ant- , she wore a dress of amber velvet, that awfully heavy velvet, and It had ruffles on itl She wears such strange clothes!

Help yourself to all you want Along with your own, you might broil steaks for Miss Ramill and her father. Miss Ramill Is about to take a lesson in sewing. She will soon need a pair of moccasins. The last remark checked the girls Intended Refusal. While nuxby sullenly cut the three steaks and started to cook them, she carried out Garths suggestion to grease her lynx skins with a chunk of fat.
