She hurried the doctor out, helping
him on with his overcoat and muller
and giving him when she could n
warning glance to urge him quickly on
his way. Then she opened the front
door, which had now been freed from
snow, and let him out, with smile
and nod. Her father was standing
behind her, just inside the doorway.
Farmer Tregaron's eyes were fixed
upon him all the time with look
which Mason thought suspicious, GU
rlous. Under this fire nothing in the
nature of tender parting from Gwyn
was possible. He would have offered
his hand for one last clasp, but her
own arms were held rigidly behind her
back. and although there was
strange look Of yearning and sadness
in her black eyes her lips uttered no
word.
"Goo.lby, then" muttered Mason in
n mutfied voice
"Goodby. doctor, for the present"
returned she l,udly.
And as IL fearful lest he should by
some word or. action or look betray the
understanding there was between them
abe shut the door.
Mason sped on his way down the
hill with tumult of strange feelings
raging in his heart. He could not be-

the last time; that the dcliverance
from prison, for which he had been
longing, lad come at last and brought
nothing but soreness and regret with

Mason crossed the kitchen floor vssy
softly and opened the clubhouse door.
But there was no one there. The place
was SO large, SO dark. there were 80
many hiding places among the lumber.

that he dared not make very exhaus-
tive survey. He went back again into
the kitchen, however, with the definite
impression that some one had been In
there listening to his conversation with
Gwyn and that the eavesdropper, who
ever it was, had found way of egress.
The belief was disturbing one.
Mason knew that In the belief Of
the household he was engaged to
Gwyn. that he was going to marry her
and take her away with him lay his
safety. And he was therefore not sur
prised when the girl made q pretext for
OBTAINING him after dinner to whisper
In his ear that he must try to get away
without delay.
He was startled by her earnestness.
"Some one overheard us this morn
ing?" said he abruptly.
Eyes. And you must go at once.
There must be no more delay. don't
say the journey will be without dan
ger, but 1t is worth the risk-any risk.
There will be light for nearly three
hours, and by that time you will have
got out of the hills If you have any
luck. The road to the bottom Of the

"Well. you must start then and get
away as quickly as you can. The 9TH

way up to the rest of the sheep. Go
now. at once, before they miss you"
AS she spoke she thrust out her hand,
and he took it In his. Before he could
utter word in his turn, however, the
door was opened briskly, and the farm
er's cheerful voice cried:
Hi. doctor. we've been looking for
you. Come and lend hand. We must
push on up hill before dusk comes"
"Td been asking the doctor to go

ewYN HEARS A PROPOSAL.

OWN HEARS n PROPOSAL.
When Mason awoke next morning,
he found himself alone In the loft,
Coch Tai having long since descended
10 his days work.
The sunlight was already strong. and
Mason saw, with mixed feeling of
selief and dread, that there were signs
OF thaw on the sparkling surface of
the sAow.
II the thaw continued, the way back
TO Trecoed and thence to civilization
would soon be open. But the thought
of the changed course of life which
this might inaugurate was not one of
unmixed JOY to the doctor.
For with his admiration and liking
for Gwyn Tregaron there mingled no
feeling strong enough to be called love.
1t was gratitude alone which prompted
him to the resolution he had come to of
asking her to be his wife.
So. having made up his mind, he
sought and found an opportunity of
speaking to the girl. When they met
at breakfast he saw, now that Coch
Tai had opened his eyes, certain signs
in Gwyn which went far to confirm
what the peasant had said There was
restlessness, n nervousness in the
girls manner, u shy, timid look in her
eyes when they met his, which made
1t impossible to doubt that there was
moro than mere friendliness toward
him In her heart.
He came upon her suddenly, and she
started and blushed.
'You mustn't work too hard just at
FIRST" said he kindly. Remember,
you have not got your strength back
yet and you don't want to be Ill
again"
mo-" said she. I'll don't want to
be Ill again."
She looked as If she wanted to say
something more, but finally she turned
away in silence. He followed her
ACROSS the room.
'Gwyn," said he very gently. will

which she had believed safe in their

one look of startled emotion and then,
turning abruptly away, hung her head
without reply.
"Gwyn." said he. Twill you be my

The girl looked up at once. trembling
from head to foot.

went round by the south side Of tie

slope where Mason had already lis. y

Mason, who for the first time had
begun to feel some mistrust of the
farmers motives toward him, took

AT that moment Mason felt sick

unused to the mountain life, to the
step paths and unexpected precipices

hardy hill born farmer, whom he now
knew to he his enemy?
