"How is that?'' he inquired breath

Don't you know who I am?" she
asked in return.

answered ridiculously enough.
She looked straight at him. This time
his gaze dropped.

ter, who is Wallace Carpenters sister,
who, believe, is Mr.. Harry Thorpe's
partner
She paused as though for comment.
The young man opposite was occupied
in many other more important direc-
lions.
eve wrote Mr.. Harry Thorpe that
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 1 never received the letter. I'm
SO sorry" said he. sit must be at the
mill. You see, I've been up in the
woods for nearly q month"
"Then We'll have to forgive you"
"But I should think they would have
done something for you at the mill''-

mill. We drove from Marquette"
II see" cried Thorpe, enlightened
But I'm sorry didn't know. I'm sor

you thought I was still at the mill
How did you get along? Is Wallace

Thorpe imagined she referred to the
rest Of the tenting party. He hesitat-

She laughed, parting her red lips.
"You are extremely picturesque just
as you are" she said, with rather en-
barrassing directness. 81 wouldn't
have you any different for the world.
But my friends don't mind. They are
used to it, She laughed again.
Thorpe crossed the pole trail and for
! the first time found himself by her
side. The warm summer odors were
! in the air; dozen lively little birds
sang in the brush along the rail; the
sunlight danced and tlickered through
the openings.
Then suddenly they were among the
pines, and the air was cool, the vista
dim and the birds songs inconceivably
far away.
He said little, and that lamely, for
he dreaded to say too much To her
playful sailies he had no reposte, and
in consequence he fell more silent with
another boding-that he was losing his
cause outright for lack of a ready
word.
And so the last spoken exchange be-
tween them meant nothing. but if each

probably not have returned to the
