CHAPTER ~.

The Pool and the Water Sprite.
Long after the others in the camp
had sunk into the profound slumber
Of weary bodies and good consciences,
a solitary candle in the small tent &C.
cupied by Enid Maitland alone gave
evidence that she was busy over the
letters which Kirkby had handed to
her.
1t was a very thoughtful girl in
deed who confronted the old frontiers
man the next morning. At the first
convenient opportunity when they
were alone together she handed him
the packet of letters.
Have you read 'em?" he asked.
YES"
"WalI, you keep EN-" said the old
man gravely. "Mebbe you'll want to
read EN- agin."
But 1 don't understand why you
want me to have them"
Wall, I'm not quite sure myself
why, but leastways l do an"
Il shall be very glad to keep them"
said the girl still more graYely, slip
ping them into one of the pockets Of
her hunting shirt as she spoke.
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 unexplicabIe 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.

other man; suspected it afore, that's
why she was sad. Wen we found her
body l knowed it."
Il don't understand"
'Thesen explain" said Kirkby. He
drew out from his rough hunting coat
a package of soiled letters; they were
carefully enclosed in an Oil skin and
tied with a faded ribbon You see, !"
he continued, holding them in his
hand yet carefully concealing them
from the people at the fire. wen
she fell off the somehow the
mule lost his footin', nobody never
knowed how, leastways the mule was
dead an couldn't tell-she struck on
a spur or shelf about hundred feet
below the brink; evidently she was
carryin' the letters in her dress. Her
bosom was frightfully tore open an
the letters was lynn there. Newbold
didn't see EN-, because he went down
into the canon an came up to the

Nobody else SEEM me, an there amt
no human eyes, not even my Wife's,
that's ever looked on them letters, ex-
cept mine and now yourn."
You are going to give them to
me?"
Il am" said Kirkby.
But why?"
II want you to know the hull story"
But why, AGAIN."
81 rather guess them lettersIl tell"
answered the old man eVasively, AN
l like you, and l don't want to see
you throwed away"
What do you mean?" asked the girl
curiously, thrilling to the solemnity OF
the moment, the seriousness, the kind
affection Of the old frontiersman, the
weird scene, the fire light, the tents
cleaning ghostlke, the black wall of
the canon and the tops Of the noun
tain range broadening out beneath the
stars in the clear sky where they
twinkled above her head, the strange
and terrible story, and now the letters
in her hand, which somehow seemed
to be imbued with human feeling.
Kirkby patted her on the shoulder.
Read the letters" he said; they'll
tell the story. Good night"

man paused again"

"Oh, the MANI" exclaimed the wom-
an with quick intuition.

told US, an we'en we got back he'd

"Where?" was the instant question.

land, you wouldn't have had any
doubt about it. But it is getting late.
In the mountains everybody gets up
at daybreak. Your sleeping bags are
in the tents, ladies'; time to go to
bed"
AS the party broke up, old Kirkby
rose slowly to his feet; he looked
meaningly toward the young woman,
upon whom the spell of the tragedy
still fingered, he nodded toward the
young brook, and then repeated his
speaking glance at her. His meaning
was patent, although no one else had
seen the covert invitation.
Come Kirkby," said the girl in
quick response, you shall be my es-
cort. l want drink before I turn in.
No, never mind" she said, as Brad

that it made drowned the low tones Of

who looked at her that way. Marion
and Emma, his two daughters, wor-
shipped their handsome Philadelphia
cousin and they sat one on either side
of her on the great log lying between
the tents and the fire. Even Bob
Junior condescended to give her ap-
proving glances. The whole camp
was at her feet. Mrs. Maitland had
been greatly taken by her young
niece. Kirkby made noNsecret OF his
devotion, Arthur Bradshaw and Henry
Philips, each a "tenderfoot" Of the ex-

connections in the east, who were
spending their vacation with Matt

were wild exhibitions OF enthusiasm

Teddy enjoyed from start to finish.
