neighbor！〃 she said。
As they sat so； happy with deepening happiness； but not gay yet；
young Billy burst open the door。 〃There！〃 he cried。 〃I knowed Lin knowed
you were a girl！〃
Thus did Billy also have his wish。 For had he not told Jessamine that
he liked her； and urged her to come and live with him and Lin？ That cabin
on Box Elder became a home in truth； with a woman inside taking the
only care of Mr。 McLean that he had known since his childhood： though
singularly enough he has an impression that it is he who takes care of
Jessamine！

LIN McLEAN
IN THE AFTER…DAYS
The black pines stand high up the hills； The white snow sifts their
columns deep； While through the canyon's riven cleft From there；
beyond； the rose clouds sweep。
Serene above their paling shapes One star hath wakened in the sky。
And here in the gray world below Over the sage the wind blows by；
Rides through the cotton…woods' ghost…ranks； And hums aloft a
sturdy tune Among the river's tawny bluffs； Untenanted as is the moon。
Far 'neath the huge invading dusk Comes Silence awful through the
plain； But yonder horseman's heart is gay； And he goes singing might
and main。
