CHAPTER I
RANCHER WINSTON
It was a bitter night, for the frost had bound the prairie in its iron
grip, although as yet there was no snow. Rancher Winston stood
shivering in a little Canadian settlement in the great lonely land
which runs north from the American frontier to Athabasca. There was no
blink of starlight in the murky sky, and out of the great waste of
grass came a stinging wind that moaned about the frame houses
clustering beside the trail that led south over the limited levels to
the railroad and civilization.
