room and looked about her again.
There was nothing that demanded
careful scrutiny. She wasn't quite
sure whether she was within the pro-
prieties or not, but she seized the old
est and most worn of the volumes on
the shelf 1t was a text book on min
ing and metallurgy, she observed, and
opening it to the fly leaf, across the
page she saw written in firm, Wig
orous masculine hand a name, "Wil-
liam Berkeley Newbold." and be-
meath these words, "Thayer Hall, Har-
vard," and a date some seven years
back.
The owner of that book, whether the
present possessor or not, had been a
college man. Say that he had gradu-
ated at twenty-one or twenty-five, he
would be twenty-eight or. twenty-nine
years old now, but if so, why that
white hair? Perhaps, though, the
book did not belong to the man Of the
| cabin.
She turned to other books On the
shelf Many of them were technical
books, which she had sufficient gen
eral culture to realize could be only
available to a man highly educated.
and special student of mines and
mining-a mining engineer, she de-
| cided, with a glance at those instru-
ments and appliances of scientific
character plainly, but Of whose actual
use she was ignorant.
A rapid inspection OF the other
books confirmed her in the conclusion
that the man Of the mountains was
indeed the owner of the collection.
There were a few well worn volumes
Of poetry apd essays, Shakespeare, a
Bible, Bacon, Marcus Aurelius, Epicte-
tus, Keats, a small dictionary, COM
pendious encyclopedia, just the books,
she thought, smiling at her conceit,
that a man of education and culture
would want to have upon a desert Is
land where his supply Of literature
would be limited.
The old ones were autographed as
the first book she had looked in; 9TH
ers, newer additions to the little H.
brary, IL she could judge their condi-
ton, were unsigned.
Into the corner cupboard and the
drawers, Of course, she did not look
There was nothing else IN the room
to attract her attention, save some
piles Of manuscript neatly arranged
I on one OF the shelves, each one cover
ed with a square Of board and kept
/ in place by pieces Of glistening quartz
There were four of these piles and an

fork was of silver. and by her plate
there was a napkin, rough dried. but
of fine linen. The man had just set
the table when she appeared.

said, and then, before she could make
Comment or reply, he turned and
walked out Of the room, his purpose
evidently being not to embarrass her
by his presence while she ate.
Enid Maitland had grown to relish
the camp fare. bringing to 1t the appe-
tite of good health and exertion. She
had never eaten anything that tasted
SO good to her as that rude meal that
morning, yet she would have enjoyed
the trimming, smoking coffee pot on
it better, she thought. If he had only
shared it with her, if she had not been
compelled to eat 1t alone. She has
tened her meal on that account, deter
mined as soon as she had finished her
breakfast to seek the man and have
some definite understanding with
him.
And, after all, she reflected that
she was better alone than in his
presence, for there would come steal.

conversation had been brief one, and
her opportunity for inspection OF him
consequently limited. Yet she had

Bile peril. Besides. Uncle Robert and
most of the rest were climbing one Of
the peaks, and"
They will be all right then; but II

He turned, and without another
word or backward glance, scrambled
down the hill. The girl limped to the
brink Of the cliff over which he had
plunged and stared after him. She
watched him as long as she could see
him, until he was lost among the
trees. II she had anybody else to de-
pend upon. she would certainly have

Uncle Robert, and her aunt, and the
children, and old Kirkby, and the rest

herself from calling him back.
The silence was most oppressive
the loneliness was frightful. She hat
been alone before in those mountains
but from choice; now the fact tina
there was no escape from them made
the sensation very different one.

situation until she felt that if she die

Having completed her inspection OF
this room, she opened the door and
went into the other. 1t was smaller
and less inviting 1t had only one
window, and door opened outside.
There was cook stove here, and
shelves with cooking utensils and
graniteware, and more rude box re-
ceptacles on the walls which were fill
ed with a bountiful and well selected
store of canned goods and provisions
of various kinds. This was evident
" the kitchen, supply room. china
closet. She saw no sign Of a bed in
it, and wondered where and how the
man had spent the night
BY rights, her mind should have
been filled with her uncle and his
party, and in their alarm she should
have shared, but she was so extremely
comfortable, except for her foot, which
did not greatly trouble her so long as
she kept 1t quiet, that she felt GER
tain degree of contentment, not to say
happiness. The adventure was so ro-
mantle and thrilling-save for those
awful moments in the pool-especially
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 al OF US
exhibited some time in our life, and
which. thank God, some of us never

in it
She lost herself In pleasing imagina-
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 1t
all there, OF course, she resolved
that she would never mention one ep
tsode 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-
ceedtngly considerable 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 ventureo
to appropriate. She had dragged g
bear skin out on the rocks in the sur
and sat curled up on 1t half reclining
against a boulder watching the trail
the Winchester by her side. She hat
eaten SO late breakfast that she haG
made q rather frugal lunch out Of
whatever had taken her fancy in the
store room, and she was waiting mos
anxiously now for the return Of tht
man.
The season was late and the SUI
sank behind the peaks quite early il
the afternoon. and 1t grew dark ant
chill long before the shadows fell upol
the jewellers Of the lowlands.
Enid drew the bear skin around he
and waited with an ever-growing az
prehension. II she should be com
PEELED to spend the night alone in tina
cabin, she felt that she could not Ell
dure it. She was never gladder G
anything in her life than when sh
saw him suddenly break out Of tn
woods and start up the steep trail
and for a moment her gladness wa
not tempered by the fact which sh
was presently to realize with grea
dismay, that as he had gone, SO b
now returned alone.
