trust as she did was to walk the borders
of limitless bliss. It could hardly occur
to her to question. Every morning and
every evening she smiled as she sent a
greeting over to old Mount Hood and
up toward the high, serene sky.
The weeks dragged by. A new,
strange tremor possessed her heart. A
pathetic, farreaching look went out
from her eyes The good night to the
clouds and to the mountain began to
lose its joyous ring.
One morning she went much earlier
to the cleared space and waited longer.

CHAPTER VI

When Craymer left her, On tie d2y
before the ladies came to tho rancheira,
Laurel went with him to the edge CT
the little cleared spot from which she
could watch him all the way down the
hill and into the trail that led throlsa
bunch grass across the arm Of the great
desert.
Few birds are found in this desolate
region, but one was calling to its mate
from near tree and the cry throbbed
passionately through all the air. She
watched uetil he had waved last adieu
and ridden swiftly into the encircling
shadows. Then she turned her eyes up
ward. The sky was cloudless save few
feecy lines that stretched out toward
her beloved mountain. She reached out
her arms and look Of trust like di-
vine radiance came upon her face.
..Take keer o. him." she said. Keep
both on us-him n me. -
She had not been prepared for this
new experience. No girl friend had
made her confdant; no book had
come in her way which gave the mod
ern keen analysis Of 1aaiden's heart
when first it feels the emotion Of love.
If such one had fallen into her hands,
it would not have enlightened her. She
could not read the simplest words. The
few rude folk in her home had never
coupled her name with that Of any Of
the swarthy hunters who, at intervals
of many weeks, had climbed the noun
tain path. How desolate she had been
without knowing it!
The child came seeking her. It put
up its arms and cried piteously. She
clasped it to her heart and turned to as
cend tho path.
The next morning she said to her
heart, "He beant comm today" But as
the time came when she used to hear
his step, she stole to the spot under the
blasted pine whence she could see out
over the level waste beyond
"He beant thar" she said, but She
smiled over at the mountain and up at
the soft, bright sky.
The next morning it was the same,
and the next, and so ON for many days.
Longing gains strength by delay. The
days could not come fast enough. She
looked eagerly across the lowlands, for
her heart had gone that way. and her

head. He fastened them there with the
polished ebony handles Of his brushes
Then he took her by the shoulders
and held her at arms length to study
the effect. Artistic pleasure at the re-
suit of his skill shone in his face. Pres
emily something else awakened there
something which held the girl in thrall.
But she met it with steady eyes. The
innocence Of her own heart made her
take ON dignity which conquered the
man before her. He began to realize
something Of that which he had hardly
thought worth the analysis
"Laurel," he said suddenly, '.you
are q goddess. Great heaven, why car
not have you always as I have you
now? Society and conventionalities,
what bosh they are! Simplicity and dig
nifty constitute manner. And you would
win homage at tho court Of any queen.
He c1asped the shoulders until they
hurt. But she did net move. She only
looked at him calmly, unbewildered.
ssYo' kin hey me, " she said in her
Glow, tender tone that pulsed and trem-
.bled as she spoke. Before yo' come
yo' N tn tall un-I b'longed t. tn
clouds N the great mountain. S'cl'ty?
Idunno what that do mean. !"
There were gentleness, innocence and
reserve in her nature. It shook the shall
lower one. Craymer lowered his head
until the pure eyes could not look into
his own. He was sitting a little below
her upon the mossy hillside, and his
face had been lifted as he. spoke. Now
she slid her arm about his neck and
drew his head against her breast. She
ran her fingers lightly through his hair.
She touched his cheek with a slow
gentle motion. Then, bending her head,
She pressed her lips upon his forehead
with slow, solemn kiss, as she might
have kissed the child if it had been
kneeling in prayer before her.
His lips had never touched her. Hers
had never before touched him. He had
sometimes reached out to caress her
hands were so like to brown
birds in their slow, futtering motions.
And he had smoothed the long braids
Of her hair as he had done today, but
whenever he encountered the fierce, re-
proachful eyes Of Wilmot after each Of
these later visits he had comforted him
self that no harm had been done. She
was the same untamed girl woman that
they had found at the first, with her
heart untouched by anything earthly

An eruptive denial rose to Craymer' s
lips, but for once he grew manly. 4

been exactly square in this thing, but
she was always asking about you and
trying to get me to talk about you. I

Believe me for once, never till that last
day did one word pass myE that need

her look as was planning to paint her
that made me say that / wanted her

Wilmot turned fercely away. "Spare
me- he said, ga recital of one cf your
amours
But this time Craymer followed and
laid a hand upon his shoulder. "Hear

she said that she thought she was happy
before I came-I an tn tall un'-and,
as I live, did not harm her. She lean
ed over and kissed my forehead as she
might kiss the snow mountain if it
were near enough. But there was some
thing about her that awed me. It's the
something that's drawing me now. She
doesn't care for me, though she thinks
that she does. 1t is you for whom she
cares. And because was with you and

call, rs I am alive, answered Cray
mer, looking directly into his face.
Then he turned and went alcne into the
rancheira.
An evening breeze, like the beating
of great wings, stirred tho leaves. The
Chinaman began to light the veranda
lamps. Their tinted rays seemed quiv-
ering with deceit. AS Wilmot strobe
out into the shadow ne began to under
stand the old brutality that could insist
upon satisfaction whose medium was
made of gunpowder or steel.
He had got but little distance
when his hand was seized by another
hand, and he was dragged with all the
strength of a youthful figure out beyond
the skirting Of shrubbery into the palo
moonlight.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1898-01-26

to his lips. Eis head was against her
shoulder. His words were low, but Lau-
rel's heart interpreted the tone. Her in
nocent soul was stung. A sense Of cru
city shortened her breath. God be mer-
ciful to a young heart when it learns
it's first lesson in the untruth Of life!
She sank upon her knees and with a
faint CRY would have fallen but that the
youth caught her about the waist and
dragged her along the turf beside the
drive, so that their footsteps made no
sound.
He untethered the horses and lifted
Laurel upon her own. They were soon
in the edge Of the desert, where he drew
freer breath. But when her beast paus-
ed, unheeded by her, to browse bit OF
chemise wood he dismounted and pull
ed it hastily forward. Then he tied the
two lettering ropes together and led
the animal upon which the young girl
sat in almost utter inconsistencies.
The desert solitude upon one hard
and the deep, mysterious mountain sol
itude upoa the other weighed upon his
spirit. A coyote howled dismally in the
distance. He jerked the lettering rope
and urged his own beast into swifter
pace.
At last they reached the point where
the trail turned toward the mountain.
The scraggly cedars became ghostly hg-
ures and the red barked pines and tall
frs seemed threatening spirits. Still he
urged their way upward. looking back
to see that the dropping, swaying figure
did not fall.
When the cleared space was reached.
Laurel aroused, gave slow glance
about her and slid to her feet in the
very spot under the blasted pine tree
where she had watched the coming and
going of her beloved. She sank upon
the ground and turned her face toward
the snow mountain with hoarse half
prayer.
The youth had grown 70 mans estate
in brave sympathy and ready action.
He cared for the beasts with gentle c.
resses because they had been SO faith
full and brought blanket to cover the
still form that Lay beneath the light
ming scared tree.

CHAPTER '

The ladies' arrived next Gay. MCA1-
vord and his guests went to meet them
upon long, swinging buckboards Of the
primitive sort, with chains upon which
to rest the feet and long, yielding straps
for the back. These were voted by the
merry party to be more delightful pleas
nre wagons than even the Irish jauntlng
car.
The days that followed were filed
with Laughter, with music, with break
neck canters upon swift ponies and with
evening promenades upon the long We
randa Of the old rancheira
After time Craymer became restless
and complained that he must do some
thing beside sketching merry people in
stylish clothing-howeyer picturesque
ly they might he set. . BE must get
off for whole days work. Hewould
not plan another days pleasure until
he had earned it with work.
Wil1not was not with the others
when this complaint in its final strength
was entered upon. He CHANGED, how
ever, to come up in time to catch it's
impost. Craymer did not seem to notice
his coming, but turned toward his be-
trothed, who looked at him kindly.
A half hour later the two men stood
alone together.
sMy reason for speaking said Viii
mot, "is that I would warn you, Cray
mer. You are an attractive fellow
and"-
"Thanks, awfully''
.sThis is not play" said tho other
fercely. Then calming himself. 'You
are to be married soon::''
sNot until September.
"Well, September is coming" he
insisted in q Nemesis tone. "In Sep
tember then:''
"l es, of course. Why do you ask?''
.For this reason: With that answer
want you to relinquish going where
you intend to go tomorrow. .
"And by what right do you ask 1t?
It's about time that your volunteer es-
pionage should cease. I shall do as l
hanged please in this and every other
matter" He turned and walked away.
Wilmot by a strong effort smothered
the Indignation that stirred him and.
following him. laid a hand upon his
shoulder and said in gentle tone: 81 beg
your pardon. If you will wait a few
days and give the subject little serious
thought, will not trouble you again. y
Craymer said something which sound
ed like an assent. Wilmot accepted it
and was turning awey, when the other
asked bluntly:
"Why don't you go there yourself
and take her out Of those brutal sur
roundings? You haven't been foolish
enough to bind yourself to any one.
There are ways Of getting on with it.
Some elderly aunt OF maiden cousin
could chaperone, and 'twould take
blamed little worldly contact for her to
outshine them all. I say he insisted
with sort Of fur, why don't you do
| it?''
Wilmot ground his teeth. "You have
| done your best to make it impossible, .
he answered.
