Half an hour later the sledge drew
up close to the place where Rowland
had seen score of men packing bags
of powder and dynamite earlier in the
day. Half n dozen lanterns were
burning among the rocks, but there
was no sign of movement or life. The
engineers companion gave a sudden
sharp crack of his long whip. and in
response to 1t there came mufied
'Hellow from out of the gloom.
"That's Macdonald. sir. You'll find
him right up there near that second

had he taken a dozen steps when a
dark object shot out behind him and |
fell with crushing force on his head.

Ese-e51 his being Howland forgot his
EzGsJ own danger. forgot his Old
caution and the fears that gave
birth TO It. forgot everything In
these moments but Meleese and his
own great happiness. for he was
happy. happier than he had ever
been in his life, happier than he had
ever expected 20 be. He was con-
scious of no madness in this strange
new joy that swept through his being
like fire lie did not stop 10 weigh
with himself the unreasoning i'm
pulses that filed him He had held
Meleese I'm his arms. he had told her
of his love. and. though she had ac-
cepted IL with gentle unresponsive-
ness, he was thrilled by the memory
OF that last look in her eyes. which
had spoken faith. confidence and per
haps even more And his faith In her
had become as limitless as the blue
space above him. He had known her
for but few hours. and yet in that
time It seemed 10 him that he had
lived longer than in all of the years
that had gone before She had lied
20 him. had dlvulged only a part of
her identity. and vet he knew that
there were reasons for these things.
Tomorrow night he would see her
again. and then
What would she tell him? What
ever Il was. it was 10 be n reward for
his own love. He knew that by the
half fearing trembe OF her voice, the
sobbing catch Of her breath. the soft
glow i'm her eyes. Impelled by that
love- would she confide In him? And
then-would he go back into the
south?
He laughed softly. joyfully.
Yes. he would go back into the
south. He would go 20 the other end
of the earth II she would go with
him. What was the building Of this
railroad now 10 that other great thing
that had come into his life? For the
first time he saw duty in another
light. There were others who could

heated brain. The old lighting in

the south? He asked himself the ques-
ton once more. and IN the gloomy ST.
lence OF the forest his low laugh fell
again as he clenched his hands in an
ticipation OF what was ahead Of him.
No. he would build the road. And in
building II he would win this girl. II 1t
was given for him TO possess her.
His saner thoughts brought back his
caution. He went more slowly toward
and stopping now and then TO listen.
At the edge OF the clearing he paused
for a long time. There was no sign
of life about the cabin abandoned by
Gregson and Thorne II was probable
that the two men who had passed
along the path had returned TO the

paper on the table. Howland spread
out the paper In the light Of the lamp
and read:

that our mail sledge starts for lie Pas to-
morrow at noon. and as I'm planning on
going down with Il l want you 20 get over
as early as you can e., the morning. Can
put you on TO everything in the camp be-

A whistle OF astonishment escaped
Howland's lips.
Jackpine had half opened the door,
and for moment the engineer caught
a glimpse of his dark, grinning face
looking back over his shoulder. He
hesitated. as II about TO speak, and
then with mouthful OF his inimitabe
chuckles. be went out
After bolting the door Rowland
lighted a small table lamp entered the
sleeping room and prepared for bed,
