Where the Sun Sets (1910)

One must either be the anvil or the hammer, and John Hallet was the anvil. From boyhood he had taken hard knocks to spare his younger brother, Lewis, and later shouldered the work of two men so that self-same brother might attend college. When Lewis was graduated it seemed, therefore, but in keeping with the rest of his life that Bessie Warren should give the college man her heart. She could only have liked him at best, and he remembered now with what reluctance she accepted his ring. No sooner had he released her than the lovers were married, and then, with John's aid, started for the far west to stake out a claim, but ere a year had passed Bessie found the intense hardships almost more than they could bear; then, too, the supplies were exhausted, and still, although his health was breaking down, Lewis seemed, reluctant to abandon their claim. But John's advice would have weight with him, so Bessie wrote asking the brother to use his influence with her husband. The answer was John himself, fully determined to remain and hold their claim in order to send the young squatters home to comfort and plenty.
