 The contents of the two trunks were disposed of deftiy by Oscar as Armi. tage directed. One of the bedrooms was utilized as closet and garments for every imaginable occasion were brought forth. There were stout Eng. fish tweeds for the heaviest weather, two dress suits and Norfolk jackets in corduroy. The owners taste ran to grays and browns, it seemed, and he whimsically ordered his raiment group ed by colors as he lounged about with a pipe in his mouth.

 There was broad park-like area that tended downward almost imper. ceptibly to a deep defile. They dis mounted and walked to the edge and looked down the steep sides. A little creek flowed out of the wood and emp tied itself with aNsiivery rush into the vale, caught it's breath below and be- came creek again. A slight suspen. sion bridge flung across the defile had once afforded a short cut to Storm Springs. but it was now in disrepair, and at either end was posted ''No unor0ughfare." Armitage stepped upon the loose planking and felt the fratl thing vibrate under his weight.
 Tt is a bad place, remarked Oscar, as tho bridge creaked and swung, and Armitage laughed and jumped back to solid ground. '@y
 The surface of this harbor of the hills was rough with outcroppiHg rock. un some great stress of nature the trees had been destroyed utterly, and only a scant growth of weeds and wild Mowers remained. The place suggest cd a battle-ground for the winds, where they might meet and struggle In wild combat or, more practically, 1t was large enough for the evolutions of a squadron of cavalry. 'ss
 "Why the name?" asked Armitage.
 'There were gray soldiers of many battles fought the long light against the blue soldiers in the valley of Virginia, and after the war was over some of them would not sur Fender-no; but they marched here and stayed a long time and kept their last dag, and so the place was called the Port of Missing Men. They built that stone wall over there beyond the patch of cedars and camped. And few died,

The bungalow stood on { rough knoll and was so placed as tt afford splendid view of a wide re zion. Armitage traversed the long yer anda, studying the landscape and de lighting in the far stretching pine GOV. cred barricade of hills. He was arous- ed by Oscar, who appeared carrying the suit cases.
 -There shall be breakfast" said the man.
 z He threw open the doors, and they entered wide, bare hall, with a fire place, into which Oscar dropped a match. | "All one floor plenty of sleeping rooms, sir-a place to eat here-a kitch. en beyond-a fair barracks for com mon soldier; that is all"

 Oscar unstraped the trunks and then stood at attention in the door. He had expected Armitage to condemn the place in bitter language, but the pro- prietor of the abandoned hunting pre- serve was in excellent spirits and whistied bhtheiy as he drew out his keys. - --.-
 'sThe place was built by fools," de- clared Oscar gloomtly.
 Undoubtedly! There is a saying that fools build houses and wise men live in them. You see where that leaves us, Oscar. Let us be cheerfulr
 He tried the shower and changed bis raiment, while Oscar prepared coffee and laid cloth on the long table be- fore the fire. When Armitage appeared coffee steamed in the tin pot in which 1t had been made. Bacon, eggs and toast were further offered.
 'sYou have done excelientiy well, Os- car. Go get your own breakfast" Ar mitage dropped lump of sugar into his coffee cup and surveyed the room.
 A large map of Virginia and a series of hunting prints hung on the untinted walls, and there were racks for guns. and a work bench at one end of the room where guns might be taken apart and cleaned 4 few novels, several hree-year-old magazines and a variety of pipes remained on the shelf above the fireplace.
