One Of our party, accompanied by an
Indian, Big Paul, as guide, shot a
moose. Big Paul had never been In
that country before, and, as 1t was
stormy day. without the sun to guide
him, he became confused In his sense
OF direction and had to wander around
somewhat In order to find the camn

us three miles through the forest ia

his course nearly 90 degrees, first to

continual hum and murmur Of
lowpltched voices, all the interminable
sounds Of the restaurant surrounded
him, but he sat quite still, with his chin
resting in his hands, staring at the
empty chair opposite to him. The sight
Of pretty women, well-groomed men, all
the bright, lively scene around him did
not entice him from his reverie even
for moment. At last Travers ner-
vously drained the cup to the last drop,
and then, YEARLY passing his hand
across his forehead, he assumed his for
mer attitude. Dreamily he fixed his
eyes on the vacant chair, and then be-
gan talking in sort of breathless whis-
per, as If to some one seated therein:

She looked at him searchingly, the

to look Of happiness, of contentment,
the sight of which brought a smile of
exultation to his face.

twisting the handkerchief around her

this was quickly followed by an express

had learned to fear.
