II was a small and not fashionable
resort, such as spring up in mushroom
multitude In the lake region Of the
north. Roger Sheldon had sought the
obscurity obstenslbly for a fortnights
fishing. but in reality to be alone with
his thoughts and to seek solace
in the pine forests for an unrequlted
love.
II ne had been younger, or, per
haps. older he would have turned to
mundane material for alloviation, but
he was a quiet. self-constrained man
with a becoming suspicion Of gray al
ready at his temples He was so en-
tirely relegated to the oldest set"
that he had scarcely entered into the
thoughts or life Of young Judith Cary
until he asked her to marry him
She had said him nay, but she had
been so startled by the look she had
met in his eyes that the impression
had served 70 keep him IN her mem
ory; but Roger, who had worshiped
mostly from afar, quietly and man
fully accepted HE rebuff and withdrew
to this remote spot that he might not
suffer the acute anguish of witnessing
;.her acceptance OF the devotions of an
other man.
BY the irony Of fate the names
above his on the register were Mrs.
Richard Cary. Miss Cary"
While celebrating whether to sub
init to Nemesis or to beat a retreat un-
seen, for his arrival was at a very
early hour in the morning, Judith ap-
peared before him on the dock, win
some and winning.

consciousness of a young girl.

stretch of woods across the bay to see

From whom are you running

the boat.

said sagely, and feeling that they were
on dangerous ground. she deftly
changed the subject.
When they were nearing the woods,
be looked up anxiously at darkening
sky.
Storms come up quickly in these
parts" he said, bending % the oars
with renewed strength. Before they
could land, the rain came down in
torrents, the wind blew a gale, lashing
the waves to a fury, and the sudden
darkness was only relieved by lurid
flashes Of lightning. Sheldon glanced
at his young companion keenly
"Are you afraid?" he asked, curtly
NO" she replied gravely, but the
thought came to her that she was
only unafraid because she felt such
entire reliance upon his protec-
ton.
After a short tramp through the
dense woods, they came upon clear
ing where three tents were pitched.
Standing like a sentinel before one OF
them was an Indian. At the sound Of
their voices, a white woman, soft-eyed
and mild-mannered came forth. She
at once took Judith inside the tent and
brought forth clean dry clothing
