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 1t had been in
the 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 a 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
vestige OF strength HAD served him
well. He did not drop her as a less
thoughtful and less determined man
might have done, he laid her there MS
gently and as tenderly as II she
weighed nothing, and as IL he had CIR
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.
