night Of Tuesday, and sped away alone
through the woods to the. place. of meet
ing, avoiding the railroad track in the
guleh as likely to bring him. more com
pany than he wanted. The Big Horn
men KEEP the track hot as Mike ess-
pressed il.
The risk he was taking, he argued,
was quite the ordinary one; he, with
many another man at that time in the
Coeur d'A1ene, was taking 1t every day.
About the other risk, of not going,
there could. be no reasoning His heart
closed with q pang, and stopped his
| thinking, whenever he. fancied that
girl wanting him, waiting for him, per-
haps, and he not there. It was not, he
owned, a message or q messenger be-
fitting his mountain lily; but by that
token the name was enough, and was

humanity in shapes Of sanl,lushing de
formity But he had plenty of ina ma
.tfon, and he was living the life of soIi-
.tude and repression which breeds exag-
gerated fancies. Moreover, in his
thoughts the charm Of the girl, like a
strong Light, blaekened. the adjacent
slla adoWs.

My children gathered at my side, 4
With questions quick and ready laugh,
Kindle fathers honest pride,
