panse. Singularly enough, this soil thus
brought from the lakes bottom proved the
one thing for the nourishment of the beech,
and the beech woods there are made'up OF
monster trees not exceeded in size by those
growing elsewhere upon the continent.
They tower aloft like oaks and crowd out
other growths. Standing splendidly upon
the lone highlands, they tempt visitors to
exploration of their dusky corridors and to
the GOODNESS of their depths, Upon the
lake side have been built summer cottages
and resorts of more pretenslon. One or
these, visited by the Gentils, had broad
fiat roof, from the water side OF WHICH
was "a sheer fall of a hundred feet. From
this roof was afforded wonderful view of
sunsets on Lake Michigan and here the
visitors thronged each evening. 1t CHANGED
that Mrs. Gentil wished to enjoy the view
with others, and her husband accompanied
her up the long, tortuous stairway. He
reached the roof, gave one quick glance
about, turned pale and stumbled back to the
stairway, his wife assisting him. She said
nothing, save to ask him if he were i'll, and
he but replied that he would be better in a
few moments She returned to the roof
alone.
Perfect as had been the life of the Cen
ills, there had existed one little mar. Very
proud of her husband was Mrs. Gentil, as
she had a right to be. He was, and is, a
man among men. His record was not of
the present alone, but extended back almost
to boyhood. He was young when he led
his company CALAMITY in some of the hercest
battles of the civil war He never hinched.
The war over, coming back as did SO many
thousands of good men to a future prospect
without much definition, he showed the
same unhnchingness. He completed a col
lege course under exceptional difficulties,
helping others in the meantime. He took
up professional career and fought it out
as bravely as he had fought out anything
before. When he fell in love he was not to
be denied, and the woman he sought, the
one with him now, found herself his wife
almost before she had become accustomed
to the breath of his swift wooing. He had
won fortune and some fame.
| He looked the man be was, too, this Leon
ard Gentil. Broad of forehead, keen of eye,
stern of jaw, erect of figure and decided
of movement, his wife admired him as she
must, and yet she sometimes wondered
and was troubled. She wanted him per-
| feet, and he was not quite that He ex-
/ hibited, at times, what seemed sort of
| cowardice. She could not understand it.
| Once they had made a trip to Switzerland
and he had stayed in the chalet below while
even she, a woman, had done mountain
climbing with their friends. Time and
| again such things had happened, but there
j had been no explanation. She knew her
husbands sensitiveness, but, to-day, some
| impulse led her to speak outright. It might
be that she could aid him. She found him
in their room at the hotel, where ne was
smoking TRANQUILITY and reading. She adj
vanced to his side, patted his head and then
put the question simply

years the lake has cast up it's sand on its

There were regrets, and the man hur-
ried away, though his wife for moment
rested a lightly OBTAINING hand upon his
arm. Halt an hour later the party had
rejoined him, and at luncheon and through
out the afternoon he was its life and spirit,
for he had wit and tact and good-hearted-
ness and the many qualities which make a
gentleman.
Six weeks later, Mr.. and Mrs. GentI were
visitors at one of the lake shore towns of
Michigan, enjoying to the full the drives,
the fishing and the society of others upon
their outing. South of this town for miles,
close to the lake, rises long plateau, ex-
tending back into the country Tor nearly q
