CHAPTER XIV.
The Woman's Heart.

That upper earth on which they
lived was covered with a thick blank
ct of snow. The lakes and pools were
frozen from shore to shore. The
mountain brooks, if they flowed at all,
ran under thick arches of ice. The
deepest canons were we'll nigh impas-
sible from huge drifts that sometimes
almost rose level with the tops of the
walls. In every sheltered spot great
banks of white were massed. The
spreading branches Of the tall pine
trees in the valleys dropped under
heavy burdens of snow. Only here
and there sharp gaunt peaks were
swept clean by the fierce winter
winds and thrust themselves upward
in icy air, naked and bare. The cold
was polar in it's bitter intensity.
The little shelf or plateau jutting
out from the mountain side upon
which the lonely cabin stood was shell
tered from the prevailing winds, but
the house itself was almost covered
with the drifts The constant fire
roaring up the huge stone chimney
had melted some of the snow at the
top and it had run down the slanting
roof and formed huge icteles on what
had been the caves of the house. The
man had cut away the drifts from
doors and windows for light and lib
erty. At first every stormy night
would fill his IaboriOus cIearings with
drifting snow, but as it became pack
ed down and frozen solid he was able
to keep his various ways open without
q great deal Of difficulty. A little
work every morning and evening suf-
feed
Every day he had to go down the
mountain stairway to the bottom Of
the pocket to feed and water the bur
ros. What was quick and simple
task in milder, warmer seasons some
times took him d half day under the
present rigorous conditions. And the
woman never saw him start out in
the storm without a sinking heart and
grave apprehension. On his return to
the cabin half frozen, almost spent

nifty for withdrawal; bright heavens,
balmy breezes. idyIlic conditions.
Here were two uplifted from the earth
upon sky-piercing mountain They
would have had more range of action
and more liberty Of motion if they
had been upon a derelict in the ocean.
And she realized at the same time
that in all those stories the two cast
always always loved each other Would
it be so with them? Was it so? And
again the hot fame within outvied the
fire of the hearth as the blood rushed
to the smooth surface of her cheek
again.
What would her father say If he
could know her position, what would
the world say, and above all what
would Armstrong say. 1t cannot be
denied that her thoughts were terri
bly, and Overwhelmingly dismayed,
and yet that despair was not without
a certain relief No man had ever so
interested her as this one. What was
the mystery Of his life, why was he
there, what had he meant when he
had blessed the idle impulse that had
sent her into his arms?
Her heart throbbed again. She lift
ed her face from her hands and dried
her tears, a warm glow stole over her
and once again not altogether from
the fire. Who and what was this
man? Who was that woman whose
picture he had taken from her? Well,
she would have time to find out. And
meantime the world outside could
think and do what it pleased. She
sat staring into the fire light, seeing
pictures there, dreaming dreams. She
was as lovely as an angel to the man
when he came back into the room.
