"I shall always love you," says the girl, with sweet seriousness, "better than my life. But in that case I should always, too have a regret." It was on this stream near the mountains that the Piegans were camped when Mīka´pi went to war. This was long ago. As she comes to the gravel walk that leads from the shrubberies to the sweep before the hall door, she encounters the disgraced Ridgway, doing something or other to one of the shrubs that has come to grief during the late bad weather..

How severe the test to which she will be exposed! Does she really think the whole earth is peopled with beings pure and perfect as herself?
