And just as simply as she had en-
Joined it upon him he had promised.
He had given his word that he would
/ not send help back to her but that he
would bring it back, and she had con-
fidenCe in that word A confidence
that had he been inclined to break his
promise would have made it absolute
ly impossible There had been a long
clasp of the hands, long look in the
eyes, long breath in the breast. a
long throb in the heart and then
farewell. They dared no more.
Once before he had left her and she
had stood upon the plateau and fol-
lowed his vanishing figure with anxi-
Gus troubled thought until it had been
lost in the depths of the forest below.
She had controlled herself in this
second parting for his sake as well as
her own. Under the ashes of his
grim repression she realized the pres
ence of live Goals which breath would
have famed into flame She dared
nothing while he was there, but when
he shut the door behind him the ne
cessity for self-control was removed.
She had laid her arms on the table
and bowed her head upon them and
shook and quivered with emotions I'M
relieved by a single tear-weeping
was for lighter hearts and less severe
demands!
His position after all was the easier
of the two. AS of old it was the man
who went forth to the battlefield while
the woman could only wait passiyely
the issue of the fight. Although he
was half blinded with emotions he had
to give some thought to his progress,
and there was yet one task to be done
before he could set forth upon his
journey toward civilization and res
cue.
1t was fortunate, as it turned out,
that this obligation detained him. He
was that type of a merciful man whose
mercies extended to his beasts. The
poor little burros must be attended to
and their safety assured so far as it
could be, for it would be impossible
for Enid Maitland to care for them.
Indeed he had already exacted prom
Use from her that she would not
leave the plateau and risk her life on
the icy stairs with which she was SO
unfamiliar.
He had gone to the corral and shak-

by day would have lasted longer than
the week he intended to be absent; of
course he realized that they would eat
it up in half that time, but even so
they would probably suffer not too
great discomfort before he got back.
All these preparations took some lit
tie time. 1t had grown somewhat late
in the morning before he started.
There had been fierce storm raging

earnest solicitation he had delayed his

He would have saved perhaps half
a mile on his journey If he had gone
straight across the lake to the mouth
Of the canon. We are creatures of

the lake on the familiar trail and I'M

reaching that narrow rift in the en-

as he came to the entrance he could
not fail to notice what he suddenly
saw in the snow.

some one had gone on. Where had

American Girl Supreme.

The women seen in the German res
taurants. while better groomed and
better looking than the average Eng.
fish women. do not look anything like
as chic as they do in America. Their
clothes do not fit as WELL and they
seem to not possess the air of conf.
dence or the vivacity and merriment
of the American women-they appear
to not be sure Of themselves, not
wholly accustomed to the new life

Berlin, and much more SO in other
German cities. This is why pretty
