GEORGE WILSON MAKES
LIT nE EnDi

~ VT Oh0I n Dill
The man with the grouch-the man
sore with the weather and everybody
is particularly invited to see and hear
George Wilson on the Forsyth bill this
week. For the famous minstrel has an
act which will Danish the worst crouch
and cause smiles and laughs in the place
Of frowns
He has a good line of Jokes and an
inmitable way of telling them and his
general talk and appearance are all that
can be asked of a minstrel. The second
part of his act. a speech to suffering SUI
fragettes, is equally as entertaining
the first part, and he kept his audience
in roar of laughter. And notWithstand
ing the fact that Mr.. Wilson has been
before the footlights for many years, he
still retains his good voice and his sing
ing is q pleasing part Of his act That
his work was appreciated was demon
strated by the enthusiastic reception
which he received.
Another pleasing feature of the FOrsyth
bill is the act Of Carlton and Kay, WIZ
sing catchy songs, dance gracefully ana
pass out musical comedy ideas.
The Clarence sisters and brother, hllle'
as THE Australian Nuggets Harry Hol-
man and company in a sketch entlue,

interesting and entertaining and the el
tire bill shows that popular vaudeVlae
at the Forsyth is just as popular as tns
shows formerly put on.

awful moments in the poOl-eSpec1ally
to the soul Of a conventional woman
who had been brought up in the most
humdrum and stereotyped fashion of
the earth's ways, and with never an
opportunity for the development of
the spirit of romance which all of us
exhibited some time in our life, and
which, thank God, some Of us never
lose, that she found herself revealing
in it.
She lost herself in pleasing magma
tions of tales Of her adventures that
she could tell when she got back to
her uncle, and when she got further
back to staid old Philadelphia. How
shocked everybody would be with it
all there! OF course, she resolved
that she would never mention one ep.
ISOLDE Of that terrible day, and she had
somehow absolute confidence that this
man, in spite Of his grim, gruff tact
turnity, who had shown himself so ex-
ceedingly considerate Of her feelings,
would never mention it either.
She had so much food for thought
that not even in the late afternoon Of
the long day could she force her mind
to the printed pages Of the book she
had taken at random from the shelf
which lay open before her, where she
sat in the sun, her head covered by an
old "Stetson" that she had ventured
to appropriate. She had dragged a
bear skin out on the rocks in the sun
and sat curled up on it half reclining
against boulder watching the trail,
the Winchester by her side. She had
eaten so late a breakfast that she had
made rather frugal lunch out of
whatever had taken her fancy in the
store room, and she was waiting most
anxiously now for the return of the
man.
The season was late and the sun
sank behind the peaks quite early in
the afternoon, and it grew dark and
chill long before the shadows fell upon
the jewellers Of the lowlands.
Enid drew the bear skin around her
and waited with an ever-growing ap-
prehension. If she should be COM
PEELED to spend the night alone in that
cabin, she felt that she could not en-
dure it. She was never gladden. Of
anything in her life than when she
saw him suddenly break out of the
woods and start up the steep trail,
and for moment her gladness was
not tempered by the fact which she
was presently to realize with great
dismay, that as he had gone, so he
now returned, alone.

CHAPTER XIII.

The Castaways of the Mountains.
The man was evidently seeking her,
for so soon as he caught sight Of her
he broke into run and came bound
ing up the steep ascent with the speed
and agility OF a chamois or mountain
sheep. AS he approached the girl
rose to her feet and supported herself
upon the boulder against which she
had been leaning, at the same time ex-
tending her hand to greet him.
"Oh," she cried, her voice rising
nervously as he drew near, ct am so
glad you are back, another hour Of
loneliness and believe should have
gone crazy"
Now whether that joy in his return
was for him personally or for him abb
stractly, he could not tell; whether
she was glad that he had come back
simply because he was a human being
who would relieve her loneliness or
whether she rejoiced to see him indi-
vidually, was a matter not yet to be
determined. He hoped the latter, he
believed the former. At any rate, he
caught and held her outstretched
hand in the warm clasp of both his
own. Burning words of greeting
rushed to his lips torrentially; what
be said, however, was quite common
place, as is often the case. Word
thought and outward speech did not
correspond.
cts too cold for you out here, you
must go into the house at once" he
declared masterfully, and she obeyed
with unwonted meekness.
The sun had set and the night air
had grown suddenly chill. Still hold
Ing her hand, they started toward the
cabin a few rods away. Her wounded
foot was of little support to her and
| the excitement had unnerved her, in
spite of his hand she swayed; without
a thought he caught her about the
waist and half lifted, half led her to
the door. It seemed as natural as it
was inevitable for him to assist her in
this way, and in her weakness and be-
wilderment she suffered il without
comment or resistance. Indeed, there
was such strength and power in his
arm, he was so secure there, that she
liked it. AS for him, his pulses were
| bounding at the contact; but for that
matter even to look at her quickened
his heart beat.
Entering the main room, he led her
gently to one Of the chairs near the
table and Immediately thereafter light
ed the fire which he had taken the
precaution to lay before his departure.
It had been dark in the cabin, but the
fire soon filed it with glorious light
She watched him at his task and as
he rose from the hearth questioned
him:

The man shook his head.

why he-I-he is a friend Of my
uncle and an-acquaintance Of my
own"
"Oh," said the man shortly and
gloomily, as he turned away.
Enid Maitland had been very brave
in his presence, but when he went out
she put her head down on her arms
on the table and cried softly to her
self. Was ever a woman in such a
predicament, thrown into the arms Of
a man who had established every con-
ceivable claim upon her gratitude,
forced to live with him shut up in a
two-room log cabin upon a lonely
mountain range, surrounded by lofty
and inaccessible peaks, pierced by ter
rifle gorges soon to be impossible
from the SHOWS? She had read many
stories Of castaways, from Charles
Reade's famous Foul Play down to
more modern instances, but in those
cases there had always been an island
comparatively large over which to
reign with privacy, seclusion, opportu-
nifty for withdrawal; bright heavens,
balmy breezes, idyllic conditions.
Here were two uplifted from the earth
upon sky-piercing mountain. They
would have had more range Of action
and more liberty of motion if they
had been upon a derelict in the ocean.
And she realized at the same time
that in all those stories the two cast
Always always loved each other. Would
it be so with them? Was it so? And
again the hot fame within outvied the
fire Of the hearth as the blood rushed
to the smooth surface of her cheek
again.
What would her father say if he
could know her position, what would
the world say, and above all what
would Armstrong say. It cannot be
denied that her thoughts were terri
bly, and Overwhelmingly dismayed,
and yet that despair was not without
a certain relief. No man had ever so
AALO4 O0LOO AOA clo I111O OnSs w udI was
the mystery of his life, why was he
there, what had he meant when he
had blessed the idle impulse that had
sent her into his arms?
Her heart throbbed again. She lift
ed her face from her hands and dried
her tears, warm glow stole over her
and once again not altogether from
the fire. Who and what was this
man? Who was that woman whose
picture he had taken from her? Well, F
she would have time to find out. And
meantime the world outside could
think and do what it pleased. She
sat staring into the fire light, seeing
pictures there, dreaming dreams. She
was as lovely as an angel to the man
when he came back into the room.

The woman looked at him steadily.

"The world" said the woman refiec-
lively. Il don't mean to say that it

situation until she felt that if she did
not do something and in some way di-

resolved to inspect them more close
