somewhat differing in appearance from
the rest, sat a little apart. His face
was fine and there were lines of suffer
ing. But the unusual thing about the
face was the expression in the eyes;
they were kind and sad eyes. but un-
less he spoke directly to another, an
expression. not of being hunted. but OF
hunting, dominated them. As IL they
were always seeking mt never finding.
This was John Newcomb. His COM
~panions called him odd and talked of
him among themselves, always ending
by saying that there was something
wrong-no doubt about that. That
man had n past. And yet the great
goodness of the man forbade their
thinking any evil of him. No mar in
camp was so kind-hearted or half as
enduring of hardship or trouble as was
John.
1t was the month of October and the
mountains wore their purple and gold
en- haze. preparatory snowy winter
garb. Soon the little cabin would be
showed in and communication with the
town shut off. In anticipation of this
time two of the men tool a journey to
town about this season of each year
and purchased the necessary supplies
for the coming cold weather. John
was almost always one of these, for his
knowledge of household economy was
of value in making the purchases. Sew
eral days were occupied usually in this
journey and this little period of change
and activity was welcomed by these
men of the mountains and the woods.
One evening while his 'pard" was
absorbed in a game of cards, where the
bags of gold dust lay thick upon the
table. John wandered away through
the streets of civilization. The sun was
just resting on the horizon before 1t
babe goodnight to the pretty little
mountain town. And up and down the
street. lined with graceful trees and
cosy homes. were to be seen the chill

hour was full of peaceful foreboding
hat the twilight brings to the tired
son Of man. But OF these things about
him John seemed to have little knowl-
edge or care, until one of the homes
he passed by seemed for a moment to
attract him. 1t was a low cottage
standing in the midst of a flower
| decked lawn, and over It's windows
climbed and bloomed the ~honeysuckle.
The sight of 1t stirred something in
