Anse Granger held her easily with one
hand, while he saucily shook finger
of the other as he said, laughingly:
Now, Kate, if you low to fool me as
you have some of the other boys in the
Bend, you have gone and freed the
wrong COON"
Turn me loose, Anse Granger-turn
me loose, say! she screamed, for she
was really more alarmed than her rude
admirer thought for.
You Anse!''
Goodness, Kate! 1t turn We loose
you'll fall, sure"
AS he held her she chung to his ex-
tended arm, and her usually ruddy face
grew pale with anger and fear Final
ly he pulled her towards himself, half
embracing her with one arm. But
when she felt that she was safe again,
she struck him a singing blow on the
face, then released herself with a SUI
preme effort, and sank down, sobbing
violently. Though the blow must have
hurt, he smiled good-naturedly.
There, now" said he; tit for tat,
Kate. You've paid me back. Now, /
want to know if you really are tryin' to
serve me as we do the rest of the boys.
You know how 1 love you, Kate. I've
been courtin' you a mighty long
while, nd I'm jest obleeged to have an
answer"
The girl looked up, with red eyes
angrily flaming.
Have your' she exclaimed. 'Well,
then, I'D see you in your grave afore
I'd marry you, after the way you've
treated me this very day."
'Why, Kate
Don't talk to me! From this day on,
want you to keep to yourself nd leave
me alone. If the other boys want to
talk to me it's nary business of yours.

She rose and confronted him. breath

he slowly comprehended her real mean
ing, his smile melted into an expression
of sadness.
THAT is all right, Kate" said he.
"You can let on jest as much as YOU
please, but know that you know how
much I've loved you nd waited on You,
md if you're a-goih' to let little fool
ishness change you in this way, I'll be-
lieve what the boys say about you is
true-you only want to make fools of
us. But after this, you can't have your
way with Anse Granger"
He turned abruptly and strobe down
the trail leading to the camp of lum-
bermen on the river bank above Juna-
lus1a gorge.
Kate Garden stood motionless, while
the flush of anger slowly receded be-
fore an after-rising pallor at this unex-
pected result of her words. The lash
ing of the torrent below fell shivering-
~ upon her ear, like an echo of coming
trouble. Receding from Junaluslla
basin on every side rose the greenland
saffron mountain slopes until they
kissed the heavens, apparently, far
above all terrestrial care and passion,
Queen of hearts though she was among
these mountain wilds, she found herself

Now, Kate, what are You a-doin' way
up here?"
There was no reply, yet her face hid
itself against his wet and ragged
bosom.
Are you still mad, or are YOU lest
a-puttin' on?"
No answer still, though one arm stole
gently round his neck. Anse smiled.
Are you ever goin' to treat me In
any such way again?'
Hates arm slightly frightened It's
clasp.
Nov, Kate, want you to up md kiss
me right smack in the mouth"
But this last humiliation was averted
by the appearance of Kate's father and
the other men. Garden stared at Anse
and his daughter, then turned to his
friends with a knowing grin.
"Anse makes a right peart kind of a
corpse, boys" he remarked; 'jest about

TO MY WATCH.

Little watch, fast ticking out
AL the hours of pain and doubt
All the tumult, toll and strife
Making up our span of life;
All the heart-wrung signs and tears
Falling faster with the years,
AS the petals drop and fade
From the bloom life's summer made,
All! what thoughts each other chase
AS ! look upon your face!
Every tick your motions give,
One tick less have l to live
Did / realize this thought
With such solemn meaning fraught
When some newborn Joy drew nigh
In the happy days gone by,
And your slight hands all too slow
Round about your face did go?
All! those tardy hours have passed.
Would they were not now so fastI
Never stopping in your flight
Never pausiug day nor night;
Not moments rest you crave
From the cradle to the grave.
With o never ceasing motion,
Steadfast as the tides OF ocean;
Seeming evermore to hurry,
Yet without moments fiurryl
Till our worn hearts almost pray
That you would a moment stay.
All things rest-the clouds at noon,
And the leaves In nights Of June;
And the grief bewildered brain
When sleep falls like softest rain;
And the stars when day awakes,
And the day when Hesper shakes
Cleans Of gold from out the skies
Into wandering lovers eyes
You alone speed on your way,
Never resting night nor day.
Yet what joys those hands have brought
Golden days with rapture fraught;
Golden days of sunlit fountain;
Golden days on breezy mountain:
Days made more divine by love
Than by radiance from above
Ali those hands that to the sense
Bring such joys and bear them hence,
Could we know what time conceals
Meath those little ticking wheels
Yet when those slight hands shall mark
That last hour when all grows dark,
And shall still keep ticking on
When earth's light from me is gone,
Little watch, your face shall be
Still memory sweet to me,
Though diviner light may shine
On these opened eyes OF mine.
For your hands that never cease
Bring at last the perfect peace.

A famous belle, with whose beauty

baked and tortured by the only man
out of half score of suitors whom she
had ever owned to herself that she
cared for in the least. He had accused
her of cruel insincerity. Had he not
spoken with some degree of truth? Was
she not, after all, coquette?
But standing there, amid the beauty
and turmoil of that wild scene-ques-
tioning herself closely-she began to
feel that things were not with her alto
gether as they had seemed to be. Ma
ture was. somehow, reft of its usual
charm. Without the sense of Changers
devotion, on which she had leaned, even
while she tortured him, her small atom
of the world felt quite chcerless now.
An hour later found her busy over the
raftsmen's dinner at the long, low log
cabin, planted centrally before the
broadcast sweep of the river above Juna-
lhska gorge. Con Garden. her father,
he1ded cattle in the summer and logged
on the Junaluska in winter, while his
wife and daughter cooked for more or
less of the hands.
The early rains had supplemented
the thawing of the SHOWS on the big
mountains, and the three forks of the
Junaluska were laundering down the
ravine with ever-increasing power.
A boom was stretched across the river
at Junaluska basin, against which thou
sands of logs were pushing, as their
number was hourly increased by the
growing floods.
