Yet in his rough way he loved her. But life had dealt hardly with them both. When the easy-mannered McCann, the settlement loafer, offered to assist her in chopping the firewood, Anderson's wife was so completely amazed at the unwonted gallantry that she accepted. This innocent circumstances was the beginning of the husband's jealousy. One Saturday night he picked a quarrel with McCann at a saloon. He was carried home with a fractured leg. When the fever set in Anderson grew morose. His distorted imagination was prone to magnify the affair of McCann. To have a disabled man thrown upon her hands, which were already fully occupied with the care of a sick child, did not improve the wife's good temper. She reproached him. An angry word flashed from the fevered man's lips. "You can go to your friend McCann." Her brain awhirl with indignation, Lon Anderson's wife stumbled along the road towards the disreputable dance-hall where McCann "hung out." She would avenge the insult. She found McCann and almost threw herself into his arms with the cry, "I'm your gal, McCann, if you'll take me." Just then an abandoned wretch came from the dance-hall and sat down on the bench with her baby crying. As she ministered to the little one's needs the sodden face seemed transformed to a semblance of loveliness. Anderson's wife, seeing the age-old miracle, thought of her own sick child at home, and none but a disabled man to tend it. She broke from McCann and fled. When she reached the cabin, her arm hanging limp from the shot which the frustrated beast had fired, she found her man joining the little one's hands in prayer.
