coming to her. He had been down in
to the valley, or the pocket, for a final
inspection Of the burros before the
night, which promised to be severe,
fell, and she had taken advantage OF
the opportunity to put it on.
She knew that she was beautiful;
her determination to make this even
ing count had brought an unusual
color to her cheeks, an unwonted
sparkle to her eye. She stood up as
she heard him enter the other room,
she was standing erect as he came
through the door and faced her. He
had only seen her in the now some

camp dress before, and her beauty
fairly smote him in his face. lie

Sometimes he laid aside his pipe and
whatever work he was engaged upon
and read to her from some immor-
tai noble number. Sometimes the Ell
tertainment fell to her and she sang
to him in her glorious contralto voice
music that made him sad. Once he
could stand 1t no longer. At the end
of a burst Of song which filled the lit
tie room-he had risen to his feet
while she sang, compelled to the erect
position by the magnificent melody
as the last notes died away and she
smiled at him triumphant and expec-
tant of his praise and his approval, he
hurled himself out of the room and
into the night, wrestling for hours
with the storm which after all was
but a trifle to that which ragged in his
bosom. While she, left alone and de
serted, quailed within the silent room
till she heard him come back.
Often and often when she slept
quietly on one side the thin partition,
he lay awake on the other, and some
times his passion drove him forth to
cool the fever, the fire in his soul in
the icy, wintry air. The struggle
within him preyed upon him, the keen
loving eye of the woman searched his
face, scrutinized him, looked into his
heart, saw what was there.
She determined to end 1t, deciding
that he must confess his affections.
She had no premonition of the truth
and no consideration of any evil con-
~eauence held her back. She could
| give free range to her love and her
devotion. She had the ordering OF
their lives and she had the power to
end the situation growing more and
more impossible. She fancied the
matter easily terminable. She thought
she had only to let him see her hear
in such ways as a maiden may, to
bring joy to his own to make him
| speak. She did not dream of the re
ality.
One night, therefore, a month oil
more after she had come. she re
solved to end the uncertainty. She
believed the easiest and the quickes,
way would be to get him to tell hel
why he was there. She naturally sur
missed that the woman of the picture
which she had never see since thu
first day Of her arrival, was in some
measure the cause of it; and the onl!
pain she had in the situation was thu
keen jealousy that would obtrud'
itself at the thought of that woman

That made 1t harder-what l had TO

THE only thing l. could do

to sacrifice myself to her mem
DRY because she had loved me so; an
it was she gave up her life for me;
l could do no less than be true and
loyal to the remembrance. 1t wasn't
a sacrifice either until you came, but
as soon as you opened your eyes and
looked into mine in the rain and the
storm upon the rock to which l had

1 knew that l loved you. l knew that
the love that had come into my heart

that everything that had gone before

mine"
"And this before l had said a word

What are words? The heart
speaks to the heart, the soul whis-
pers to the soul. And so it was with
us. l had fought for you, you were
mine, mine. My heart sang 1t as l
painted and struggled over the rocks

He had drawn very near her while
he spoke; she had risen again and the
two confronted each other. He
stretched out his hand as he asked
that last question, almost as If he had
offered 1t to her. She made the bes,
answer possible to his demand, for be
fore he could divine what she would
be at. she had seized his hand and

much; you see. they were fishermen.
All the same, they were trudging
home, with weary steps and very
weary-looking faces.
Their baskets were empty, and, to
be candid, they were in a very bad

As they entered the little village a
large dog ran at one of the party The
dog had a ferocious look, and was
barking furiously. But the fisherman
did not take much alarm at the ami
