CHAPTER X.
On the Two Sides Of tn. Door.

On the Two Sides Of the Door.
The cabin contained a large and a
small room. In the wall between
them there was a doorway closed by
an ordinary batten door with a wood
en- latch and no lock. Closed It served
to hide the occupant of one room
from the view of the other, otherwise
it was but feeble protection. Even
had 1t possessed a lock. a vigorous
man could have burst it through In a
moment.
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
the dancing light of the glorious fire.
She was warm, the deity wrapped
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
1t not been for the exhaustive strains
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 so 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 before her eyes, she
closed them In a few moments and
did not open them.
Without 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 east red glows
upon #; the fitful light fiickered
across her countenance and some
times deep shadows unrelieved ac-
centuated the paleness born Of her
sufferings.
There is no light that plays so
many tricks with the imagination. or
that so stimulates the fancy as the
light Of an open fire. In its sudden
outbursts II sometimes seems to add

Eyes as keen as his would present

tains where he had roamed alone.
They would see what he had seen,
find what he had found. Mankind,
gold-lusting, would swarm and hive
upon the hills and fight and love and
breed and die. Great God!
He could Of course move on, but
where? And went he whithersoever
he might, he would now of necessity
carry with him another memory
which would not dwell within his
mind in harmony with the memory
which until that day had been para
mount there alone.
Slowly. laboriously, painfully, he
had built his house upon the sand,
and the winds had blown and the
floods had come, not only in a literal
but In spiritual significance, and In
one day that house had fallen. He
stood amid the wrecked remains Of It
trying to recreate II, 10 endow once
more with the fitted precision of the
past the shapeless broken units Of the
fabric OF his fond imagination
While he resented the fierce, saw

ton Of this woman into his life.
While he throbbed with equal inten-
sity and almost as much passion at
the thought of her.

I dead. Had there been any eye to see
this girl. she would have made a de-
lightful picture In the warm glow
from the stone hearth. There were
no eyes to look. however, save those
which belonged to the man on the
other side of the door
On the hither side of that door In
the room where the fire burned on the
hearth. there was rest in the heart of
the occupant; on the farther side
where the fire only burned in the
heart. there was tumult. Not outward
and visible. but inward and spiritual,
and yet there was no lack of apparent
manifestation of the turmoil In the
mans soul.
Albeit the room was smaller than
the other. 1t was still of a good size
He walked nervously up and down
from one end to the other as cease
lessly as wild animal impatient of
captivity stalks the narrow limits of
his contracted cage. The even tenor
of his life had suddenly been diverted.
The ordinary sequence of his days
had been abruptly changed. The pri-
vacy Of five years which he had hoped
and dreamed might exist as long as
he. had been rudely broken in upon.
Humanity, which he had avoided.

He did not make any apology for

the situation; indeed, she thought
swiftly. there was nothing else to do,
she had no choice, she could not have
been left alone there In the rocks in

was doing the only thing possible. The
compulsion of the inevitable was upon
them both.

progress she tried to walk, but the

made no complaint about his burden
and she found 1t. after all, pleasant to
be upheld by such powerful arms;
she was so sick, so tired, so worn out,
and there was such assurance Of
strength and safety in his firm hold Of
her.
BY and by, in the last stage of their
journey. her head dropped on his
shoulder and she actually fell into an
uneasy troubled sleep. He did not
know whether she slumbered or
whether she had tainted again. He
did not dare to stop to find out, his

Mir. Taft's Lead.

Nearly one third of the delegates to the republican national convention have been elected. President Taft's lead in the contest for the nomina- tion has been heightened by the ac- ton taken in many states and dis tricts last week. one hundred and forty-six elections were reported last week not including Alaska. MT Taft got 130 delegates and Alaska's two gave him 132 of the total of 14S for the week
 The universality of the support given the president is evidenced by decisive victories for his followers in states as wide apart as New York, Mississippi. Indiana and Colorado County elections in Iowa also assured his control of the state convention and of d majority of Iowas delega- tion to Chicago. out of less than q third of the full membership of the convention Mir. Taft now has almost one- half of the votes necessary to assure his nomination. There is no reason to think that his present ad- vantage will not be retained or in- creased as the other two-thirds of the delegates are chosen.

I RIDAY
The Gaynor Plan.

Mayor William J Gaynor, of New York. who was himself a judge and q most scholarly and accomplished one. has given expression to an idea which is well worth contemplation. The mayor thinks that. in cases where the validity of a statute is in ques- ton. no law should be declared un- constitutional. or where the vote is four to three or some such ratio as that, it is the mayors idea that the statute should be held valid notwith- standing the preponderance of judic- ial opinion against it.
 As said above this thought is well worth consideration. II is the we'll settled rule in this country that stat utes should be construed literally in favor of their constitutionaIity. Where there is a doubt the doubt must bc resolved in favor of the validity of the law.
 Now. where five judges vote on one side Of a questiau and four vote on the other side. there would seem to be considerable Goubt about that question. And if grave constitu- tional matter arises and four men on the supreme bench of the United States supreme court-men of the highest type of judicial wisdom and who have been selected for their em- inent character no less than for their commanding ability. if four of these men. after due examination. decide on one side of that question. that would seem to raise considerable doubt SIS to what the law in that particular ease is. And where there is d doubt the rule is to resolve that doubt in favor of the law.
 We require unanimous verdicts in jury cases. so it would seem there would be nothing revolutionary in requiring decisions by substantial ma jorities in questions involving the constitutionality of statutes
 There may be flaws in the Gaynor idea. of course It is merely sug- gested that it is worthy of consid- eration. But at all events, looking at it from the angle of whatever ob- jection it may call forth, how much ii is to be preferred to the suprcmely foolish plan of submitting questions of constitutional law to popular vote. 1
