were into the heavens, her soul Ieaped

God she waited there on the heaven

How long she stayed she did not
realize; she took no note of time; it
did not occur to her even to look at
the watch on her wrist, she had swept
the skyline cut off as it were by the
peaks when first she came, and when
at last she turned away-even divin-
est moments must have an end-she
looked not backward. She saw not a
little cloud hid on the horizon behind
the rampant of the ages, as it were,
no bigger than mans hand, cloud
full of portent and which would alarm
greatly the veteran Kirkby in the
camp and Maitland on the mountain

unable to see it, one being on the
other side of the range, and the other
deep in the canon, and for both of
them as for the girl the sun still
shone brightly.
The decIivity to the river on the
upper side was comparatively easy
and Enid Maitland went slowly and
thoughtfuIly down to it until she
reached the young torrent. She got
her tackle ready, but did no casting,
as she made her way slowly up the
ever narrowing, ever rising canon.
She was charmed and thrilled by the
wild beauty of the way, the spell OF
the mountains was deep upon her.
ThOughtfully she wandered on until
presently she came to another little
amphitheater like that where the

Strange to say, the brook or river

OF effort a giant cup had been hol-

deep, the rocky bottom worn smooth.

Surveying the great range she won
dered where the peak climbers might
be. Keen sighted though she was, she
could not discover them. The crest
that they were attempting lay in an
other direction hidden by a nearer
spur. She was in the very heart of
the mountains; peaks and ridges rose
all about her, so much so that the gen
eral direction of the great range was
lost. She was at the center Of far
flung cocavity of crest and range. She
marked one towering point to the right
of her that rose massively grand above
all the others. Tomorrow she would
climb to that high point and from its
lofty elevations look upon the heav-

There was no sound above her; the
rushing water over the rocks upon
the nearer side she could hear faint

the long needles of the pines. 1t was
very still, the kind of a stiffness of
body which is the outward and visible
complement of that stiffness of the
soul in which men know God. There
had been no earthquake, no storm,
the mountains had not heaved beneath
her feet, the great and strong wind
had not passed by, the rocks had not
been rent and broken, yet Enid caught
herself listening as if for voice. The
thrill of majesty, silence, loneliness
was upon her. She stood-one stands
