home in the wilderness, and he liked the
rough people among whom he found
himself.
Notwithstanding his pronunciation OF
London, however, there would, now anc.
t;Ien, come yearning for the big city,
and he promised himself trip there at
the end of the third year. Wentworth
had been threatening, month after
month, to come out and see him, but
something had always interfered.
Taking it all in all, John liked it bet
Ter in winter than in tie summer, in
spite of the extreme cold The cold
was steady, and could be depend
ed upon; moreover. it was health
full and invigorating. In summer John
never became accustomed to the raw
ages of the black fly, the mosquito and
other insect pests of that season. His
first interview with the black fly left

glad he lived in a wilderness!

dian horse that was very quick and ac-
customed TO the ice, because the ice OF
the river formed the highway BY which
he reached Burntpine from the mine.
TO supplement the horse, he also got
comfortable little cutter, and with
this turnout he made his frequent jour
news between the mine and Burntpine
with comfort and speed, wrapped
snugly in buffalo robes.
If London often reverted to his mind,
there was another subject that ot
truded itself even more frequently. His
increased prosperity had something ia
do with this. He saw that, If he was
TO have third of the receipts of the
mine, he was not to remain poor man
for very long, and this fact gave him a
certain courage which had been lacking
efore. He wondered If she remem'
bered him. Wentworth had said very
little about her in his letters. and Ken
yon, in spite of the confession he had
made when his case seemed hopeless
was 10th to write and ask his friend any
thing about her.
One day. on clear, sharp, frost,

When that necessary operation was
concluded Kenyon SAT down and
thought over what young Longworth
had told him. His triumph. after all,
had been short-lived. The choice be-
tween the two scoundrels was so small
that he felt he didn't care which of
them owned the mine. Meditating upon
this disagreeable subject, he suddenly
remembered n request he had asked
Wentworth to make 10 the new owner
of the mine. He wanted no favor from
Melville, so he wrote a second letter
contradicting the request made in the
first, and, after posting it, returned
to his hotel and went to bed, probably
the most tired man in the city of OF
