The packet was not bulky. the let
tiers were not many nor were they OF
any great length. She could easily
carry them on her person and in
some strange and unexplicable way
she was rather glad to have them.
She could not. as she had said, see
any personal application to herself In
them, and yet In some way she did
feel that the solution of the mystery
would be hers some day. Especially
did she think this on account OF the
strange but quiet open emphasis OF
the old hunter.
There was much to do about the
camp In the morning. Horses and
burros to be looked after, flre wood to
be cut. plans for the day arranged,
excursions laid out, mountain climbs
projected. Later on unwonted hands
must be taught to cast the fly for the
trout which filled the brook
and pool, and all the varied duties, de-
tails and fascinating possibilities OF
camp life must be explained to the
newcomers.
