the canoes, when Angle and Chip
emerged that morning; and now while
breakfast is under way, moment
may be seized to explain who the peo-
pie were and their mission in this
wilderness.
Many years before, In a distant VII
lage called Greenvale. two brothers.
David and Amzi Curtis, had Quarreled
over an unfortunate division of in
herited land. The outcome was that
Amzi, somewhat misanthropic over
the death of his wife, and of peculiar
makeup, deserted his home and little
daughter Angelina, and vanished. For
many years no one knew of his where
abouts, and he was given up as dead.
In the meantime his child, cared for
by a kindly woman known as Aunt
Comfort, had grown to womanhood.
About this time a boyhood sweetheart
of Angeline's, named Martin Frisbie,
who had been gathering wealth in a
distant city, invited a former school
mate, now the village doctor In Green
vale, to join him on an outing trip into
the wilderness.
Here something of the history Of
notorious outlaw named Mcclure be-
came known to Martin, and more i'm
portant than that, queer old hermit
was discovered, dwelling in solitude
on the shore of small lake. Who he
was, and why this strange manner of
life, Martin could not learn, and not
until later, when he returned to Green
vale to WOO his former sweetheart
once more, did he even guess. Here,
however, from description furnished
by a village memberships sort of
Natty Bumpo and philosopher COM
bined, known as Old Cy Walker, who
had been Martins youthful companion,
he was led to believe that the queer
hermit and the long-missing Amzi were
one and the same.
Another trip into this wilderness
with Old Cy, taken to identify the her
NIT, resulted in proving the correct
ness of the surmise. Then Martin set
about making this misanthropic re-
cluse more comfortable in all ways
possible; and then, leaving Old Cy to
keep him company, he returned to
Greenvale and Angie.
A marriage was the outcome of his
return to his native village, and then,
with his nephew, Ray, and long-tried
guide, Levi, as helpers on this unique
wedding trip, the hermit was visited.
1t was hoped that meeting his child

no more.
For a long time Angie lay sleepless
upon her fragrant bed, recalling the
waits strange story and trying to
grasp the depth and breadth Of her
life at Tins Place; also to surmise, II
possible, how serious a faint of evil
she had inherited. That her father
was vile beyond compare seemed posi-
tive; that her mother might have been
scarce better was probable. No men,
ton, thus far, had been made of her:
and so Angie reflected upon this pitiful
child's ancestry and what manner Of
heritage she had been blessed or
cursed with. Some of her attributes
awoke Angles admiration. She had
shown utter adherence of this brutal
sale of herself, marvellous courage
in endeavoring to escape it. She
seemed grateful for what had been
done for her, and a partial realization
of her own unfitness for association
with refined people. Her speech was
no worse than might be expected from
her life at Tins. Place. Doubtless,
she was unable to read or write. And
so Angie lay. considering all the pros
and cons Of the situation and Of this
girls life.
There was also another side to it all,
the humane one. They were on their
way out of the wilderness, for busi-
ness visit to the nearest settlement,
intending to return to the woods in a
few days-and what was to be done
with this child of misfortune?
Most assuredly they must protect
her for the present. But was there
anyone to whom she could be turned
over and cared for? 1t seemed posi-
Bile this brutal buyer of her would fol-

once more would result In inducing
him to abandon his wildwood exist
ence and to return to civilization; and
1t did-partially. He seemed happy to
meet his daughter again, consented to
return with them when ready, and
after couple of weeks sojourn here,
the canoes were packed and all set out
for civilization and Greenvale once
more.
But home, sweet home" albeit It
was, as in this case, a lonely log cabin
in vast wilderness, proved stronger
than parental love or aught else; and
sometime during first nights camp on
the way out, this strange recluse stole
away in his canoe and returned.
It's natur," Old Cy observed when
morning came, IAN home is the hard
est spot in the world to fergit. Amzfs
lived in that old shack all lone for 20
years. He's got wonted to it like a
dog to his kennel, an all the powers
o the univarse can't break ND the
feelin'."
1t seemed On indisputable, If disap-
pointing, fact, and Martin led his party
back to the hermit's home once more.
Another plan was now considered
by Martin-to buy the township, or at
least large tract enclosing this lake,
build more commodious log cabin for
the use of himself and his wife, and
spend a portion of each summer there.
There were several reasons other than
those of affection for this decision.
This lake, perhaps half mile In
diameter, teemed with trout. The low
mountains enclosing it were thickly
covered with fine spruce and fir,
groves OF pine with some beech and

low her out of the woods, to abduct
her If found, and then the moral side
of this episode with all its abominable
possibilities occurred to Angie, who
was, above all, unselfish and noble
hearted. Vice, crime, and immortality
were horrible to her.
Here was a self-evident duty thrust
ing itself upon her, and how to meet
it with justice to herself, her husband,
and her own conscience, was prob
lem. Thus dwelling upon this COM
pick situation, she fell asleep.
The first faint light of morning was
stealing into the tent when Angie felt
her companion stir. She had, exhaust:
ed as she doubtless was. fallen ASLEEP
almost the moment she lay down; but
now she was evidently awake.
Curious to note what she would do,
Angie remained with closed eyes and
motionless. From the corner Of the
tent where she had curled up the night
before, the girl now cautiously crept
toward the elder woman. Inch by
inch, upon the bed of boughs, she
moved nearer, until Angie, watching
with half-opened eyes, saw her head
lowered, and felt two soft, warm lips
touch her hand.
1t was trifie. It was no more than
the act of cat who rubs herself
against her mistress or dog who ticks
his masters hand, and yet 1t settled
once for all that waits fate and

The load was packed at last. The
GROWING piece was the beautiful old
inlaid secretary that had been the
pride of Miss Deborah's library. AS
the horses moved under whip and
oath, the wagon started, making too
sharp turn into the road from its
packed-up position opposite the front
gate, the secretary trembled on its
unsteady perch-tottered-fe - and
crashed in pieces on the sidewalk.
