zion. Une or the OJher must be SUI
preme, he must inexorabIy hold to his
ideas and his ideals, or he must inev-
itably take the woman.
How frightful was the battle that
ragged within his bosom! Sometimes
in his despair he thought that he
would have been glad if he and she
had gone down together in the dark
waters before all this came upon him
The floods of which the heavens had
emptied themselves had borne her to
him. Oh if they had only swept him
out of life with its trouble, it's trials.
its anxieties, its obligations, its impos-
s1bilities. If they had gone together!
And then he knew that he was glad
even for the torture, because he had
seen her, because he had loved her,
and because she had loved him.
He marveled at himself curiously,
and in detached way. There was a
woman who loved him, who had con-
fessed it boldly and innocently, there
was none to say him nay. The woman
who stood between had been dead five
years. The world knew nothing, cared
nothing; they could go out together;
be could take her, she would come. On
the impulse he turned and ran to the
door and beat upon it. Her voice babe
him enter, and he came in.
Her heart yearned to him. She was
shocked, appalled, at the torture she
saw upon his face. Had he been laid
upon the rack, and every joint pulled
from its sockets, he could not have
been more white and agonized.
81 give up" he cried what are
honor and self respect to me? I want
you. I have put the past behind. You
love me, and I, I am yours with every
fiber Of my being. Great God! Let
US cast aside these foolish quixotic
scruples that have kept us apart. If
a mans thoughts declare his guilt, 1
am already disloyaI to the other wom-
an; deeply, entirely so. I have be-
trayed her, shamed her, abandoned
her. Let me have some reward for
what have gone through. You love
me; come to me-

der, if I could feel your heart beat
against mine, if could give myself up
to you, I would be so glad, so glad.
But it cannot be, not now"
''Why not?" pleaded the man.
He was by her side, his arm went
around her. She did not resist ply
sically, it would have been useless.
She only laid her slender hand upon
back and looked at him.
See" she said, "how helpless 1 am,
how weak in your hands. Every voice
IN my heart bids me give way. If you
insist I can deny you nothing. I am

Was it the wisdom of calculation. or
was it the wisdom of instinct by which
she chose her course? Resistance
would have been unavailing, in weak

Blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the earth! Yes, that was true
She knew it now, if never before, and
so did he.
Slowly the man released her. She
did not even then draw away from
him. She stood with her hand still on
his breast. She could feel the beating
of his heart beneath her fingers.

mountains. Admitting that Enid was
course.
The others pointed out to Armstrong
that if the woman they all loved had
by any fortunate chance escaped the
cloudburst, she must inevitably have
persisted from cold, starvation and eX-
posture in the mountain long since.
There was scarcely a possibility that
she could have escaped the food, but
if she had, it would only to be de-
voted to death a little later If she
was not in the lake, what remained Of
her would be in some lateral canon.
It would be impossible to discover
her body in the deep SHOWS until the
spring and the warm weather came.
When the SHOWS melted what was con-
cealed would be revealed. Alone, she
could do nothing. And admitting again
that Enid was alone, this conclusion
was as sound as the other.
Now no one had the faintest hope
that Enid Maitland was yet alive, ex-
cept, perhaps, her father, Mr.. Stephen
Maitland. They could not convince
him, he was so old and set in his opin-
ions and so utterly unfamiliar with the
conditions that they tried to describe
to him, that he chung to his belief in
spite of all, and finally they let him
take such comfort as he could from
his vain hope without any further at
tempt at contradiction.
In spite of all the arguments, how
ever, Mr.. James Armstrong was not
satisfied. He was as hopeless as the
rest, but his temperament would not
permit him to accept the inevitable
calmly. It was barely possible that
she might not be dead, and that she
might not be alone. There was scarce
up enough possibility Of this to justify
suspicion, but that is not saying
there was none at all.
Day after day he had sat in his Of
fee denying himself to everyone and
refusing to consider anything, brood
ing over the situation. He loved Enid
Maitland, he loved her before, and now
that he had lost her, he loved her still
more.
Not altogether admirable had been

noble and manly his actions-and his
characterized often been lacking, but
even the base can love, and sometimes
love transforms, if it be given a
chance. The passion of Cymon for Iph-
igenia, made man and prince out Of
the rustic boor, and his real love for
Enid Maitland might have done more
for Armstrong than he himself or any
one who knew him as he was, and
few there were who had such
knowledge of him, dreamed was
possible. There was one thing that
love could not do, however; it
could not make him a patient phil
osopher, a good waiter. His rule Of
life was not very high, but in one way
it was admirable, in that prompt, bold
desire action was his chiefest charac-
teristic

CHAPTER XIX.
The Challenge Of the RANGE.

The Challenge Of the Range.
Mr.. James Armstrong sat at his
desk before the west window in his
private room in one Of the tallest
buildings in Denver. His suite of Of
fees was situated on one Of the top
floors, and from it he had a clear and
unobstructed view of the mighty
range over the intervening house tops
and other buildings. The earth was
covered with snow. 1t had fallen stead
lily through the night, but with the
dawn the air had cleared and the sun
had come out brightly, although it was
very cold.
Letters, papers, documents, the de-
mands Of business extensive and var
led, were left unnoticed. He sat with
his elbow on the desk, his head on his
hand, looking moodily at the range.
In the month that had elapsed since
he had received news of Enid Matt
lands disappearance he had sat often
in that way, in that place, staring at
the range, prey to most respondent
reflections, heavy hearted and discon-
ISOLATE indeed.
After that memorable interview
with Mr.. Stephen Maitland in Phila-
delphia he had deemed it proper to
await there the arrival of Mr.. Rob-
ert Maitland. A brief interview with
that distracted gentleman had put
him in possession Of all the facts in
the case. AS Robert Maitland had
said, after presentation of the tragic
story, the situation was quite hope
less. Even Armstrong reluctantly adj
mitted that her uncle and old Kirkby
had done everything that was posi-
BILE for the rescue or discovery Of
the girl.
Therefore the two respondent gen
tlemen had shortly after returned to
their western homes, Robert Maitland
in this instance being accompanied
by his brother Stephen. The latter
never knew how much his daughter
had been to him until this evil fate
had befallen her. Robert Maitland
had promised to inaugurate thor
ough and extensive search to solve the
mystery Of her death, which he felt
was certain, in the spring, when the
weather permitted humanity to have
free course through the mountains.
Mr.. Stephen Maitland found a GER
tain melancholy satisfaction in being
at least near the place where neither
he nor any one had any doubt his
daughters remains lay hid beneath
the snow or ice on the mountains in
the freezing cold. Robert Maitland
had no other idea than that Ends
body was in the lake. He intended to
drain it-an engineering task of no
great fficulty-and yet he intended,
also, to search the hills for miles on
either side of the main stream down
which she had gone, for she might
possibly have strayed away and died
of starvation and exposure, rather
than drowning. At any rate, he
would leave nothing undone to discov-
er her.
He had strenuously opposed Arm
strong's recklessly expressed inten-

mo; love is life, love is God, but
even God himself is under obligations
of righteousness. For me to come
to you now, to marry you now, to be
your wife, would be unholy. There
would not be that perfect confidence
between us that must endure in that
revelation. Your honor and mine, your
self respect and mine, would interpose.
If I can't have you with a clear con-
science, if you can't come to me in the
same way, we are better apart. AL

The man could say nothing, do moth

his hand went to his throat as if he
were choking.
"Unworthy," he said hoarsely, "un-
worthy of the past, unworthy Of the
present, unworthy of the future. May
God forgive me, 1 never can"
"He will forgive you, never fear"
answered Enid gently.
"And your" asked her lover. 81 have

mo, you have ennobled it. Let
nothing ever make you forget that.
Wherever you are and whatever you
do, and whatever you may have been,

a man, as you are stronger, save me
from myself. If you were to take me
again in your arms" she went on
steadily, II know not how 1 could drive
you back. For Gods sake, if you love
me"
That was the hardest thing he had
ever done, to turn and go out Of the
room, out of her sight, and leave her
standing there with eyes shining, with
pulses throbbing, with breath coming
fast, with bosom painting Once more,
and at touch she might have yielded!
