en- latch and no lock- Closed it served
to hide the occupant of one room
from the view Of the other, otherwise
it was but feeble protection. Even
had it possessed lock, vigorous
man could have burst 1t through In q
moment
These thoughts did not come very
clearly to Enid Maitland. Few
thoughts of any kind came to her.
Where she lay she could see plainly
the dancing light Of the glorious ire.
She was. warm, the deity wrapped
bandage, the healing lotion upon her
foot, had greatly relieved the pain in
that wounded member The bed was
hard but comfortable, much more so
than the sleeping bags to which Of
late she had been accustomed.
Few women had gone through such
experiences, mental and physical, as
had befallen her within the last few
hours and lived to tell the story Had
it not been for the exhaustive strains
of body and spirit to which she had
been subjected, her mental faculties
would have been on the alert and the
strangeness Of her unique position
would have made her SO nervous that
she could not have slept
For the time being, however, the
physical demands upon her entity
were paramount; she was dry, she
was warm, she was fed, she was free
from anxiety and she was absolutely
unutterably weary. Her thoughts
were vague, inchoate. unconcentrated.
The fire wavered before her eyes, she
closed them In a few moments and
did not open them.
Without thought, without care,
she fell asleep. Her repose was COM
plete, not a dream even disturbed the
profound slumber into which she

the situation: indeed, she thought
swiftly, there was nothing else to do,
she had no choice, she could not have
been left alone there in the rocks in
that rain. she could not walk. He
was doing the only thing possible. The
compulsion of the inevitable was upon
them both.
They went slowly, the man often
stopped for rest. at which times he
would seat her tenderly upon some
PROSTATE tree, or some rounded boul-
der, until he was ready to resume his
task. He did not bother her with ex-
PLANTATION. discussion or other CONVEX
sation. for which she was most thank
full Once or twice during the slow
progress she tried to walk, but the
slightest pressure on her wounded
foot nearly caused her to faint He
made no complaint about his burden
and she found 1t, after all, pleasant to
be upheld by such powerful arms;
she was so sick, SO tired, so worn out,
and there was such assurance OF
strength and safety in his firm hold of
her.
By and by, in the last stage OF their
journey. her, head dropped on his
shoulder and she actually fell into an
uneasy troubled sleep He did not
know whether she slumbered or
whether she had tainted again. He
did not dare to stop to find out, his
strength was almost spent; In this last
effort the strain upon his muscles
was almost as great as It had been In
she whirlpool For the second time

that day the sweat stood out on his
forehead, his legs trembled under him.
How he made the last five hundred
feet up the steep wall to q certain
broad shelf perhaps an acre In extent
where he had built his hut among the
mountains, he never knew; but the
last remnant Of his force was spent
when he finally opened the unattached
door with his foot, carried her in the
log hut and laid her upon the bed or
bunk built against one wall of the
cabin.
Yet the way he put her down was
characteristic Of the man. That last
yestige Of strength had served him
we'll He did not drop her as less
thoughtful and less determined man
might have done, he laid her there as
gently and as tenderly as II she
weighed nothing, and as II he had car
ried her nowhere. So quiet and easy
was his handling Of her that she did
not wake up at once.
So soon as she was out of his arms,
he stood up and stared at her in great
alarm, which soon gave way to reas-
surance. She had not tainted, there
was little tinge OF color In her cheek
that had rubbed up against his rough
hunting coat; she was asleep, her reg
ular breathing told him that. Sleep
was of course the very best Of medi-
cines for her, and yet she should not
be allowed to sleep until she had got
rid of her wet clothing and until
something had been done for her
wounded foot. 1t was indeed an en-
barrassing situation.
He surveyed her for few moments
wondering how best to begin. Then
realizing the necessity for immediate
action, he bent>over her and woke her

Albeit the room was smaller than
the other, 1t was still of a good sise.
He walked nervously up and down
from one end to the other as cease
lessly as a wild animal impatient OF
captivity stalks the narrow limits OF
his contracted cage. The even tenor
of his life had suddenly been diverted
The ordinary sequence Of his dayB
had been abruptly changed. The pri
vacy Of five years which he had hoped
and dreamed might exist as long as
he. had been rudely broken In upon
Humanity, which he had avoided,
from which he had fed, which he had
cast away forever, had found him.
Abiit, excessit, evasit, erupit! And, To-.
his departures were all in vain! The
world with all It's grandeur and it's In
significance, with all it's powers and
It's weaknesses, with all its oppnrtu-
mites and its obligations, with all its
joys and its sorrows, had knocked ut
his door; and that the knocking hand
was that of a woman, but added to
his perplexity and to his dismay.
He had cherished dream that he
could live to himself alone with but a
memory to bear him company, and
from that dream he had been thun.
derously awakened. Everything was
changed. What had once been easy
had now become impossible. He
might send her away, but though he
swore her to secrecy she would have
to tell her story and something of his;

sank. Pretty picture she made; her
head thrown backward, her golden
hair roughly dried and quickly plait-
ed In long braids, one Of which fell
along the pillow while the other
curled lovingly around her neck. Her
face in the natural light would have
looked pallid from what she had gone
through, but the fire cast red glows
upon it; the fitful light fickered
across her countenance and some
times deep shadows unrelieved ac-
centuated the paleness born of her
sufferings.
There is no light that plays SO
many tricks with the Imagination, or
that so stimulates the fancy as the
light of an open fire. In its sudden
outbursts it sometimes seems to add
life touches to the sleeping and the
dead. Had there been any eye to see
this girl, she would have made a de-
lightful picture in the warm glow
from the stone hearth. There were
no eyes to look, however, save those
which belonged to the man on the
other side of the door.
On the hither side OF that door in
the room where the fire burned on the
hearth, there was rest In the heart OF
the occupant; on the farther side
where the fire only burned in the
heart, there was tumult. Not outward
and visible, but inward and spiritual,
and vet there was no lack of apparent
manifestation OF the turmoil In the
mans soul.
