The quipus. upon which the ancient

counts. consisted of thick main cord.
with smaller cords tied to it at certain
distances. Upon these smaller cords
the knots were tied by means Of which
the reckoning was kept. The length
Of the main rope varied from foot to
several yards The cords were OF va
rious colors. each with its own proper
meanlng-as red for soldiers. yellow
for gold, white for silver. green for

to have been largely regulated by the
distances Of the knots from the main
cord and the sequence OF the branches.

it burned on her lips, as that other kiss
In a darkened room had burned after

Of hurt. 1t took her back into crimson
meadows with her lost girlhood and it's
opaled outlook-and Hugh.
But largest of all in her mind next
day was anxiety. She must know how
he Jared. In the open daylight she
could not approach the cabin, but she
reflected that the doctor had been
there and no doubt had carried some
report of him to the town. So as the
morning grew she rode down the
mountain ostensibly to get the cherry
cordial she had left behind her the day
before, really to satisfy her hunger for
news.
AS 1t happened Mrs. Halloran's first
greeting set her anxiety at rest. Prem.
dergast had bought some tobacco at
the general store an hour before while
she had been making her daily order.
and the storekeeper had questioned
him. TO an interested audience he
had told Of the finding of Hugh on
the mountain road in a sort of crazy
fever and enlarged upon the part the
girl on horseback had played. Hugh
was all right now, he said, except that
he didn't remember him or the cabin
or Smoky Mountain.
What Prendergast had said Mrs.
Halloran told Jessica in breath Be
fore she finished she found that Jes-
sica had not heard Of the incident in
the saloon which had precipitated the
fight with Devlin. and with sympa-
thetic rhetoric Mrs. Halloran told this
too.

head.
The eyes opened, and confused. trou-
bled look crept to them. Then they
closed again, and the look faded out
into peace that remained.
A thrill ran through her. the sense
Of moral power Of the weak over the
strong. of the feminine over the mas
culine.
A rising flush stained her cheeks.
With sudden impulse and with a
guilty backward glance she bent and
touched her lips to his forehead.
She drew back quickly, her face
flooded with color. caught her breath,
then. drawing her hood over her head,
went swiftly to the door and was lost
in the darkness.
When toward midnight the fever
ebbed, Sanderson had fallen into
deep sleep of exhaustion. from which
he opened his eyes next morning upon
the figure of Prendergast sitting. pipe
in mouth, in the sunny doorway.
He lifted himself on his elbow. That
crafty face had been inexplicably WOW
en- with the delirious fantasies Of his
fever. Where and when had he known
it? Then in great tide welled over
him the memory of his last conscious
hours-the scene in the saloon, the
fight, the music, the sudden appalling
discovery of his name and repute. He
remembered the sickening wave of self
disgust, the fierce agony Of resentment
that had beat in his every vein as he
walked up the darkening street He
remembered the thrown quartz. No
doubt another missile had struck home
or he had been set upon, kicked and
pommeled into insensibility. This old
mana miner probably, for there were
picks and shovels in the corner-had
succored him. He had been i'll. there
was lassitude in every limb, and shad-
owy recollections tantalized him. He
retained dim consciousness of wo-

chill damp smell OF the
dewy balsams in her nos
trils, the dust rising ghostlike behind
the rapid hoofs. She found David
Stires anxious and peevish over her
late coming.
She felt relief when the old man
grew tired and was wheeled to his
bedroom
Left alone, her reflections returned.
She began to be tortured. She tried
to read. The printed characters swan
beyond her comprehension. At length
she drew hood over her head and
stole out on to the wide porch.
1t was only Q o'clock, and along the
gravel paths that wound among the
shrubbery few dim forms were stroll
ing. She caught the scent of a cigar
and the sound of a woman's laugh.
The air was crisp and bracing, with
a promise of frost and painted leaves.
She gazed down across the dark
gulches toward the town, a struggling
design pricked in binding yellow
points. Halfway between, folded in
the darkness, lay the green shelf and
the cabin to which her thought re-
Cured with kind of compulsion.
There was no moon. but the stars
were glowing like tiny green gilt Goals.
and the yellow road lay plain and
clear. With sudden determination
she drew her light cloak closely about
her. stepped down, sped across the
grass to footpath and so to the road.
AS she ran on down the curving stretch
under the trees the cracking slip Of
bank paper that lay In her bosom
seemed to burn her flesh. She was
stealing away to gaze upon the out
cast who had shamed and humbled
her-going, she knew not why, with
burning cheek and hammering heart.
She slipped through the side trail to
the cabin with a choking sensation.
She stole to the window and peered
In. In the freight she could see the
form on the bunk, tossing and mutter-
ing. Otherwise the place was empty.
She lifted the latch softly and en-
tered.
The strained anxiety of Jessica's
look relaxed as she gazed about her.
She saw the vial on the table. The
doctor had been there, then. II he
were in serious case, Prendergast
would be with him. She threw back
her hood, drew one of the chairs to
the side Of the bunk and sat down, her
eyes fixed on his face. The weakness
and helplessness OF his posture struck
through and through her. Two sides

combat for mastery

In number of papers there were
