misty, drizzly rain began to tall and

CHAPTER VI.
"To Be or Not 10 Be-"

They were seated rather close togeth-
er upon the steep hillside, gazing silent
~ down upon squalid Glen-aid AT such
considerable distance all the dull shah
biness OF the mining town had disap-
pearcd. and IL seemed almost ideal,
viewed against the natural background
OF brown rocks and green trees. Every
where was loneliness. no sound telling
OF the labor OF man reached them,
and the few scattered buildings far
below resembling mere doll-houses.
They had conversed only upon the
constantly changing beauty OF the
scene. or Of incidents connected with
their upward climb. while moving
slowly along the trail through the
fresh morning sunshine. Now they
sat in silence. the young girl, with
cheeks flushed and dreamy eyes aglow,

Even TO his somewhat preiudiced
eyes she was not an attractive crea-
ture. for she possessed no clear con
ception OF how 10 render apparent
those few feminine charms she pos
sessed. Negligence and total uncon-
seriousness Of self, coupled with lack
OF womanly companionship and guild
ance. had left her altogether in the

ragged shoes. the cheap patched skirt
the tousled auburn hair. the sunburnt
cheeks with a suggestion OF freckles
plainly visible beneath the eyes, and

days caused him 10 shrug his shoul

reasonableness OF my position.
Hampton sat silent. gazing out Of
the window. his eyes apparently on
the lights now becoming dimly visible
in the saloon opposite. For a consid-
cradle time he made no move. and the
