They had buried Armstrong in the
snow, Robert Maitland saying over
him a brief but fervent petition in
which even Newbold joined Enid
Maitland herself had repeated elo-
quently to her uncle and old Kirkby
that night before the fire the story Of
her rescue fro1l the flood by this man,
how he had carried her in the storm
to the hut and how he had treated her
since; and Maitland had afterwards
repeated her account to his brother in
Denver.
Maitland had insisted that Newbold
share his hospitality, but that young
man had refused. Kirkby had little
place not far from Denver and easily
accessible to it, aud the old man had
gladly taken the younger one with
him. Newbold had been in a fever Of
anxiety over Enid Maitland's illness,
but his alarm had soon been dispelled
by the physicians assurance, and
there was nothing now left for him
but to wait until she could see him.
He inquired for her morning and even
ing at the great house on the hill;
he kept her room a bower Of beauty
with priceless blossoms, but he had
sent no word.
Robert Maitland had promised to let
him know, however, so soon as Enid
could see him, and it was in pursuance
of telephone message that he was in
the library that morning.
He had not yet become accustomed
to the world; he had lived so long
alone that he had grown somewhat shy
and retiring; the habits and customs
of years were not to be lightly thrown
aside in a week or month. He had
sought no interview with Ends father
heretofore; indeed had rather avoided
it, but on this morning he had asked
for it, and when Robert Maitland
would have withdrawn he begged him
to remain.
''Mr Maitland" Newbold began, SCI
presume that you know my unfortu-
nate history"
II have heard the general outlines
of it, sir, from my brother and others"
answered the other kindly.
II need not dwell upon it further
then. Although my hair is tinged with
