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

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。
