Drainage of the Zuyder Zee,

A great project is again before the
people of Holland-the draining of the
Zuyder Zee. The sea, which. as every
one knows, is at the north of Holland
and covers an area of $4,000 hectares,
a hectare being practically two acres
and half.
Just half century ago scheme ts

was first mooted and although 1t re,
ceived considerable support the oppo.
sition was greater, but now an assoc
citation has been formed and bill wiz

promoters see that with an increased
population means must be taken To
enlarge the country and this reclamst
ton of the sea is suggested as capable
Of accomplishment. II the sea II corr
quered there are several lakes which
can be dealt with later.

CHAPTER XII.
A Tour Of Inspection.

The first thing necessary, she de-
cided, when she had satisfied her hun
ger and finished her meal, was to get
word of her plight and her resting
place to her uncle and the men of the
party, and the next thing was to get
away, where she would never see this
man again, and perhaps be able to for
get what had transpired-yet there
was a strange pang Of pain in her
heart at that thought!
No man on earth had ever SO slim
ulated her curiosity as this one. Who
was he? Why was he there? Who
was the woman whose picture he had
so quickly taken from her gaze? Why
had so splendid man buried himself
alone in that wilderness? These re-
flections were presently interrupted by
the temperance Of the man him
self.
Have you f1nished?" he asked, un-
tremendously standing in the door
way as he spoke.
"Yes, thank you, and it was very
good indeed"
Dismissing this politeness with a
wave Of his hand, but taking no other
notice, he spoke again.
If you will tell me your name"
Maitland, Enid Maitland"
Miss Maitland?"
The girl nodded.
"And where you came from, / will
endeavor to find your party and see
what can be done to restore you to
them"
I'VE were camped down that canon
at place where another brook, a
large one, flows into it, several miles,
should think, below the place
where"
She was going to say where you
found me-" but the thought of the way
in which he had found her rushed
over her again; and this time, with
his glance directly upon her, although
it was as cold and dispassionate and
Indifferent as a mans look could well

lakelet was trimmed with ice on the
shaded side. This enchanting little
body Of water was fed by the melting
snow from the crest and peaks, which
In the clear, pure sunshine and rari-
fed air Of the mountains seemed to
rise and confront her within a stones
throw OF the place where she stood.
On one side of the pretty lake in
the valley, or pocket, beneath, there
was a little grassy clearing, and there
the dweller in the wilderness had
built a rude corral for the burros. On
a rough bench by the side Of the door
she saw the primitive conveniences to
which he had alluded. The water
was delightfully."- soft and as 1t had
stood exposed to the suns direct rays
for some time, although the air was
exceedingly crisp and cold, it was
tempered sufficiently to be merely
cool and agreeable. She luxuriated
in it for a few moments, and while
she had her face buried in the towel,
rough. coarse, but clean, she heard a
step. She looked up in time to see
the man lay down upon the bench a
small mirror and a clean comb. He
said nothing as he did no, and she had
no opportunity to thank him before
he was gone. The thoughtfulness Of
the act affected her strangely, and she
was very glad Of chance to unbraid
her hair, comb 1t ous and plait 1t
again. She had not hair pin left, Of
course, and all she could do with It
was to replait 1t and let 1t hang upon
her shoulders. Her coiffure would have
looked very strange to civilization, but
out there in the mountains, it was en-
inently appropriate.
Without noticing details, the man
felt the general effect as she limped
back into the room toward the table.
Her breakfast was ready for her. 1t
was a coarse fare, bacon, baked po-
tato, hard tack crisped before the fire,
coffee, black and strong, with sugar,
but no cream. The dishes matched
the fare, too, yet she noticed that the
fork was Of silver, and by her plate
there was a napkin, rough dried, but
of fine linen. The man had just set
the, table when she appeared.
II am sorry I have no cream" he
said, and then, before she could make
comment or reply, he turned and
walked out Of the room, his purpose
evidently being not to embarrass her
by his presence while she ate.
Enid Maitland had grown to relish
the camp fare, bringing to it the appe-

be, the recollection of the meeting
to which she had been about to allude
rushed over her with an accompany
ing wave of color which heightened
her beauty as it covered her with
shame.
She could not realize that beneath
his mask of Indifference so deliber-
ately worn, the man was as agitated
as she, not SO much at the remem-
brance of anything that had trans
pired, but at the sight, the splendid
picture, of the woman as she stood
there in the little cabin then. It seem
ed to him as If she gathered up in
her own person all the radiance and
light and beauty, all the purity and
freshness and splendor Of the morn
The Neshoba Democrat., 1912-07-25

upon the boulder against which sAe
had been leaning, at the same time a..
tending her hand to greet him.
"Oh," she cried, her voice r1sing
nervously as he drew near, 'I am so
glad you are back, another hour of
loneliness and I believe should have
gone crazy"
Now whether that Joy in his return
was for him personally or for him alb.
stractly, he could not tell; whethos
she was glad that he had come bach
simply because he was human beina
who would relieve her loneliness a.
whether she rejoiced to see him indt

place, as is often the case. Word
thought and outward speech did not
correspond.
TITS too cold for you out here, you
must go into the house at once" hs
declared masterfully, and she obeyea
with unwonted meekness.
The sun had set and the night ar
had grown suddenly chill. Still hold
ing her hand, they started toward the
cabin few rods away. Her wounde1
foot was of little support to her auu
the excitement had unnerved her, In
spite of his hand she swayed; without
a thought he caught her about the
waist and half lifted, half led her to
the door, 1t seemed as natural as IL
was inevitable for i'm to assist her In
this way. and in her weakness and bs4
wilderment she suffered it without
comment or resistance. Indeed, there
was such strength and power in hia
arm, she was so secure there, that she
liked it. AS for him, his pulses were
bounding at the contact; but for that
matter even to look at her quickened
his heart beat.

tito of good health and exertion. She
had never eaten anything that tasted
so good to her as that rude meal that
morning, yet she would have enjoyed
the brimming, smoking coffee pot on
1t better, she thought, If he had only
shared 1t with her. If she had not been
compelled to eat 1t alone. She has
tened her meal on that account, deter

breakfast to seek the man and have
some definite understanding with
him

she was better alone than in his
presence, for there would come steal

PEELED to spend the night alone in that
cabin, she felt that she could not en-.

anything in her life than when she
saw him suddenly break out Of the
woods and start up the steep tran.

not tempered by the fact which she
was presently to realize with grsa1
