CHAPTER X.

On the Two Sides Of the Door.
The cabin contained large and
small room. In the wall between
them there was a doorway closed by
an ordinary batten door with wood
en- latch and no lock. Closed 1t served
to hide the occupant of one room
from the view of the other. otherwise
1t was but feeble protection. Even
had 1t possessed a lock, vigorous
man could have burst 1t through in a

These thoughts did not come very
clearly to Enid Maitland. Few
thoughts of any kind came to her,
Where she lay she could see plainly

bandage. the healing lotion upon her
foot. had greatly relieved the pain in
that wounded member The bed was
hard but comfortable. much more so
than the sleeping bags to which of
late she had been accustomed.
Few women had gone through such
experiences. mental and physical. as
had befallen her within the last few
hours and lived to tell the story Had
Of body and spirit to which She had
been subjected. her mental faculties
would have been on the alert and the
strangeness of her unique position
would have made her 80 nervous that
she could not have slept
For the time being. however, the
physical demands upon her entity
were paramount; she was dry. she
was warm, she was fed, she was free
from anxiety and she was absolutely
unutterably weary. Her thoughts
were vague, inchoate. unconcentrated.
The fire wavered Jefore her eyes, she
closed them in a few moments and
did not open them.
Without a thought, without care,
she fell asleep. Her repose was COM
plete, not a dream even disturbed the
profound slumber into which she
sank. Pretty picture she made: her
head thrown backward. her golden
hair roughly dried and quickly plait-
ed In long braids, one Of which fell
along the pillow while the other
curled lovingly around her neck. Her
face In the natural light would have
looked pallid from what she had gone
through, but the fire cast red glows
upon 1t: the fitful light fickered
across her countenance and some
times deep shadows unrelieved ac-
centuated the paleness born OF her
sufferings.
There is no light that plays 80
many tricks with the imagination. or

The hazel twig as n water finder has

So soon as she was out Of his arms,

alarm, which soon gave way to reas-

something had been done for her
