DIR. Marcus Whitman's horseback ride
of more than 5000 miles from Oregon
on his way to Washington, d. c., to in
sist upon our government taking pos
session of Oregon, to prevent it from
falling into British hands, is graphic

Weed. .'More than once, indeed fre.

whose waters are frozen on either side.
Buffeting the waves of foaming cur
rents he plunges with his horse com
pletely under water. Blinded by storm
in every direction he is compelled to
remain ten days in a gorge. Hope dies
even in his courageous heart. One
thing seems inevitable-the snow must
be his dying bed and winding sheet.

..Man's extremity is Gods oppor-

DR.. Whitman was not repeating when
it wns verified in q way suggestive OF
sudden transition from the solemn
to the almost ludicrous. A mule,
with stubbornness stiffened by the
cold, yet with instinct preserved, point
ed with his long ears in one direction,
then another, as II seeking the way. and
at last blowing through the snow. be-

had failed, leading the despairing CON-

peased when, an hour beyond the rhodo-
dendron, they came out upon the RIM
of a crater-like valley cutting deep
cash in the mountain. 1t was cllipticai
in shape, with wooded sides slanting
down from the base Of the cliff line to
a small cornfield in the center; hui thcr:.
wus NO sign OF house, nor Of aiiy roa:i

through the length of the valley, to van-

.'Why .devil.s'?- asked Philip.
''I'm sure don't know; father says
it's because some people like to name
things after their patron saint"
"That's quaint idea; but the name
ats rather better in this case than II
usually does. There ia always some
thing suggestive OF the weird and un-
canny in valley that has no visible out
let. How docs the man who hoes that
corn ever get down to it?"
''Oh. there nrc several ways to get
down. though not very many people
know them"
Il suppose you know some of them;
can't we explore it?"
.sI think we'd better not try; it's get

"Who was thnt?'' interrupted Thorn

looking troubled.
"But I'm sure did; while you were
speaking 1 caught glimpse of man
standing In the shadow of that rock
just beyond the stream. He looked like
another Rip Van Winkle." Philip
stopped and sent his memory back over
the last few days in search OF something.
II know now," he went on; II was sure
I'd seen him before. He was in the gar
den with your father one morning when
came downstairs, and he ran away
when he saw me. Who is hep
II can't tell you; it's his secret and my
fathers. shouldn't have brought you
here when might have known you'd
ask questions. Will you forgive me and
promise you won't say anything about
what you've seen?"
THAT is very feminme-to ask for
giveness and exact a promise all in one
breath; but I'll overlook it this time
and promise to be as dumb us an oyster.
Only wish you would tell me about
him; you've aroused my curiosity until
shan't be able to sleep tonight"
Elsie shook her head doubtfully. II
mustn't tell anybody; should never
forgive myself if any harm came to him
through me-"
"But don't understand. hope you
don't think that I'd hurt any friend OF
yours. On the contrary, I'd be glad tc
help him, II he needs help"
"Oh, he does; he needs friends SO
much! He's a poor. lonely old man,
and he's afraid of everybody; l can't
even make him understand that Mr.
Protheroe wouldn't hurt him."
Whoever first pointed the sarcasm

upon feminine curiosity knew not
whereof he spake. A. compared with
the greed for enlightenment which az
sails the masculine mind at the barc
scent Of mystery, the curiosity OF
woman Is but . sedntiye. Philip was
no exception to the rule governing his
sex, and the pathos in Elsie's voice was
becoming quite irresistible.
Tell me about him. he urged; "I'll
promise anything you can ask in the
way OF secrecy and discretioD;" and,
as she still hesita4ed, he did not scruple
to lay : snare IN her way by adding:
I'm quite prepared for the worst you
can say; I'll be dumb even II you tell
me that the old man y an escaped mur-

not because ahe waA afraid to trust

she said: Perhaps yoa could think

the story, but you mustn' say nnything
about It at home till after I've told

They retrcated few steps from the
brow of the cliff and Elsie sat down upon
log, while Philip stretched himself
upon the grass at her feet.

When one begins to aygue with his
conscience It is foreordained conclu-
sion that conscience will get the worst
of it. Lest Philip should be ret down as
4 poor figure OF q man, prone to do weak
things as are the srarka to fiy upward.
let il be said that he did only what
seemed Mt tho time to be good and
right. Love. or what passes for lave, il
not always accountable to logic or to
common sense: It may. perhaps, be the
adopted child Of the intellect, but It Is
begottcn and nurtured by the senses.
Propinquity. contact, daily association,
the fairness Of one object und the near
ness Of another. all these influences
were. In Thorndyke's case, opposed to
what was unconsciously becoming day
by day more Of an abstraction-h
fealty to Helen. And. besides, when
one firmly believes he has made his
salaam to the king Of terrors, the con-
viction may 20 distort the mental and
moral vision q 70 make one practically
color blind.
Half an hour after Elsie and Philip
had disappeared in the forest, Protheroe
rode up to the gate with packet of
letters for Thorndyke. When he
learned that the invalid and Elsie were
on the mountain together, he seemed
quite as anxious to get away from the
farmhouse as he had just been to reach
it On the way back TO town he had
another impatient argument with him
self, coming out Of it as on former oc-
casion, with certain measure of philo-
soPhical resignation, for which he paid
rather dearly in the coin of disappointed
hopes.
