 He did not move One on either side of the spike-marked old Norway log of the trail they stood, and for an appre- ciable interval the duel of their glances lasted-he masterful, passionate, ex- igent; she proud, cool, defensive in the aloofness of her beauty. Then at last his prevailed. A faint color rose from her neck, deepened and spread over her face and forehead. Tn a moment she dropped her eyes.
 Don't you think you stare a little rudely, MT. Thorpe?" she asked.
 The vision was over.
 "How did you know my name?" he asked.
 She planted both elbows on the Nor. way and framed her little face deli ciously with her long pointed hands.
 If MT. Harry Thorpe can ask that question" she replied, The is not quite so impolite as had thought him."
 How is that?' he inquired breath lessly.
 Don't you know who I amp she asked in return.
 "A goddess, a beautiful womanw he answered ridicuIously enough.
 She looked straight at him. This time his gaze dropped.
 q am a friend of Elizabeth Carpen- ter, who is Wallace Carpenters sister, who, I believe, is MT. Harry Thorpes partner"
 She paused as though for comment The young man opposite was occupied in many other more important direc- tions.
 "We wrote MT. Harry Thorpe tlrat we were about to descend on his dis trict with wagons and tents and Indi- ans and things, and asked him to come and see us"
 The girl looked at him for moment steadily, then smiled. The change of countenance brought Thorpe to himself
 ''But I never received the letter. I'm so sorry" said he "It must be at the mill. You see, I've been up in the woods for nearly month."

TRAVELLING BY WEIGHT.

Radical Changes Which the Colorado
 Innovation May Bring About.
 The officers of the Pueblo and Beulah Valley railway in Colorado, an electric line seventeen miles in length, have de- cided to adopt a passenger tariff sys, tenn whereby persons desiring to be carried over the road must pay accord ing to their weight instead of by the mile, as usual in the United States, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 ~ Passengers, a dispatch says, will be required to step upon scales at the tick ct office and will be charged at the rate of 17a cents pound for the round trip between Pueblo and Beulah and for shorter trips approximately. This sys. tenn is said to have been adopted with success on some European lines
 The Colorado line is one of small i'm portance, of course, being purely local affair, but if the new tariff principle proves successful in this instance 1t may be applied to the handling of pas senger traffic on the trunk lines Tn that event and in cases where persons are planning to take long journeys they will of course go into training in ad- vance with the purpose of reducing their weight to the minimum. The fla. ther of large family will be enabled to make quite considerable saving on a thousand mile trip to be taken by his loved ones if he reduces them to milk and water diet for month or two be- fore entering upon the journey. Anti fat remedies will of course under such circumstances become more popular than ever, for lean people will be able to travel much more cheaply than those who are troubled with tendency to embonpoint.
 As natural result of the innovation, should 1t be generally adopted by our common carriers, people who are about to be weighed will of course remove all metal articles either in the way of knives, keys or coin from the pockets and divest themselves of all surplus clothing. They will also purchase their. tickets before rather than after meals, and shrewd and experienced travellers will drink charged mineral water so that they may be light and effervescent when they step upon the scales.
 All necessary details of this improved tariff arrangement doubtless will be at. tended to, including preferential round trip rate for persons who visit the health resorts in an emaciated con- dition and return with their blood full of iron and their hearts full of joy.

CHAPTER XXI.

K~ TOR several days this impression satisfied him completely. He lI did not attempt to analyze it:
 j he did not even make an effort to contemplate it. Curiosity, specula- ton, longing all the more active emo lions remained in abeyance, while out wardly for three days Harry Thorpe occupied himself only with the needs of the Fighting Forty at Camp One. Hesw was vaguely conscious of great peace within him, a great stiffness of the spirit.
 Little by little the condition changed The man felt vague stirrings of curios- ity. He speculated aimlessly as to light, the girl, had been real or merely the Pigments of imagination. Almost Immediately the answer leaped at him from his heart. Since she was so cer- tainly flesh and blood, whence did she come? What was she doing there in the wilderness? His mind pushed the query aside as unimportant, rushing eagerly to the essential point. When could he see her again? His placidity had gone. That morning he made some vague excuse to Shearer and set out blindly down the river. And so. with put thought, without clear intentions even, he saw her again. It was near the pole trail,'' which was less like trail than rail fence
 When the snows are deep and snow shoes not the property of every man who cares to Journey, the old fashioned pole trail" comes into use. It is mere-. ly q series of horses built of timber, across which thick Norway logs are laid about four feet from the ground 10 form a continuous pathway. Tn summer it resembles nothing so much ns a thick one rail fence of considera- hIe height, around which a fringe of light brush has grown.
 Thorpe reached the fEinge of bushes and was about to dodge under the fence when he saw her. So he stopped short, concealed by the leaves and the timber horse.
 She stood oli a knoll in the middle Of grove Of monster pines. There was something of the cathedral in the annt

me girl stood tall and straight among the tall, straight pines like figure on an ancient tapestry. She was doing nothing just standing there but the awe of the forest was in her wide, clear eyes.
 In moment she stirred slightly and turned. Drawing herself to her full height, she extended her hands over her head, palm outward, and with an indescribably graceful gesture bowed a ceremonious adieu to the solemn trees. Then, with little laugh, she moved away in the direction of the river.
 At once Thorpe proved great need of seeing her again. In his present mood there was nothing of the awe stricken peace he had experienced aft CT the moonlight adventure. He want ed the sight of her as he had never man desired it. And finding it tmpos- sible be ragged inwardly and tore the tranquillities of his heart.
 So it happened that he ate hardly at all that day and slept i'll and discov- cred the greatest difficulty in preserv- ing the outward semblance of ease which the presence of Tim Shearer and the Fighting Forty demanded.
 And next day he saw her again, and the next, because the need of his heart demanded 1t and because, simply enough, she came every afternoon to the clump of pines by the old pole trail But now curiosity awoke and a desire for something more. He must speak to her, touch her hand, look in- to her eyes. He resolved to approach her. and the mere thought choked him and sent him weak.
 When he saw her again from the shelter of the pole trail he dared not, and so stood there prey to a novel sensation, that of being baffled in an intention. As he hesitated he saw that she was walking slowly in his direc- ton. Perhaps q hundred paces sep arated the two She took them de- liberately. Her progression was se- ries of poses, the one which melted imperceptibly into the other without appreciaDle pause of transition.
 In moment she had reached the fringe of brush about tho pole trail. They stood face to face-

 "I'll come tomorrow,a she said; then with little mischievous laugh, eff that'll make you talk.'
 ':You must think I'm awfully stupid" agreed Thorpe bitterly.
 "Ah, no; ah, nor' she protested soft ly. You must not say that
 She was looking at him very tender ly, if he had only known 1t, but he did not, for his face was set in discontent- ed lines straight before him.
 Tt is true" he replied.
 They walked on In silence, while gradually the dangerous fascination of the woods crept down on them. Just before sunset hush falls on nature. The wind has died; the birds have not yet begun their evening songs; the light itself seems to have left off spar king and to lie still across the land. scape. Such hush now lay on their spirits. Over the way d creeper was droning sleepily little chant, the only voice in the wilderness. Tn the heart of the man, too, little voice raised it. self alone.
 Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheartp' 1t breathed over and over again. After awhile he said it gently in half voice.
 "No, no; hushr', said the girl. And she laid the soft, warm fingers of one hand across his lips and looked at him from height of superior soft eyed tenderness asa woman might look at a child. You must not. It is not right.'
 Then he kissed the fingers very gen tly before they were withdrawn, and she said nothing at all in rebuke, but looked straight before her with trou- bled eyes.

 Why" countered Hilda in the man ner of women.

GIRLS AS MACHINlSTs.

Two Sisters LearnfnE a Trade, AL
 though They Have Fortunes.
 In order to complete the full mechan- ical course at the Ohio Mechanics' in. stitute Artie May Lomb, nineteen, and Esther Lomb, sixteen, daughters of c. w, c. Lomb, mechanical engineer of Cincinnati, are working daily in the machine and blacksmith shops of the institution. They forge and weld iron and steel with skill, always making something useful in accordance with the rules of the school, says Cincin- natl dispatch.
 In the machine shop they operate lathes, planers, shapers, drill presses and milling machines, making tools and parts of machines, engines and other products of the machine shop. They are not actuated by the same motives as the boy who enters an apprentice ship to learn trade, for each has an independent fortune of 5000 left to her a year ago by Judge Daniel H. Porter of New York.
 It is a matter of principle with the girls, because they enjoy the studies and work. They wish to be equipped with a practical education as compe- tent mechanical engineers in case they should ever need to support themselves. Both will be graduated in June after a six years course, and both expect to enter Vassar college.

 Beneath the heavy load. The light grows at my window. And on the pane see Jack Frost has liraned picture Of silver tracery. Now from the servants stairway Slow feet descend the hall, And then a kitchen shutter

How do, Mrs. Cary,' he would say. Nice weather. Enjoying yourself?"
 On receiving the reply he would an swer heartily, That's good and lapse into silence. When Hilda was about he followed every movements of hers with his eyes, so that his strange con- duct lacked no explanation or inter- pretation, in the minds of the women at least. Thrice he redeemed his repu- tation for being an interesting char acter by conducting the party on little expeditions here and there about the country. Then his woodcraft and re sourcefulness spoke for him. They asked him about the numbering op- erations, but he seemed indifferent.
 Nothing to interest you,' he affirm. ed. Were just cutting roads now. You ought to be here for the drive.'
 Once he took them over to see Camp One. They were immensely pleased and were correspondingly loud in ex- clamations. Thorpe's comments were brief and dry. On the way back for the first time Thorpe found that chance and Mrs. Cary-had allotted Hilda to his care
