determined to vouchsafe her no infor-
nation regarding himself. and here she
had surprised him into an admission
In the first blush OF their acquaint-

of 1t.
She tried another tack.
"Mr. Newbold." she began at a ven.

had heard that name, his surprise at
her knowledge. which after all was
very simple, betrayed him third
time. 1--WE are like stories 1 have

his glance.
This was where she had found his

"You will have this room for your

Il am loath to dispossess you."
Il shall be quite comfortable there,
and this shall be your room exclusive

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or FIVE small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size Of
q silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the pim-
pies and wherever that touched It caus-
ed moro sores until nearly all ono
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was terrible looking child.
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
Then got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything We put on 30 that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at time, trying to give the
medicine chance to help her. but
after I washed 1t with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them OF. It
was only few days before her face
was all healed up. and there has been
no return of the trouble since. We
thought that baby's face would surely
be SCARED. but 1t is not" (Signed)

Central park menagerie. to feed
hippo on pies. especially on the mlnce
variety. This observation by the
keeper was elected after he had
tossed beautiful mince pie into the
yawning mouth OF Miss Murphy. one
of the hippos in the menagerie.
The hippo had been promised the
pie by a man on the upper West side
fully a week ago. He said he wanted
the kids" to have laugh. When
Miss Murphy gulped the pie down
Yesterday more than score OF per
sons, as well as the KIDS" laughed.
1t was conventional 80 cent pie.
but Miss Murphy looked more impor-
tant than 30 cents when she began to
crush the delicacy in her seesawins
laws. According to the man VINO car
ried the pie to the menagerie he had
soaked 1t well in brandy. He was ac-
companied by two lads.
Snyder tickled the hippo's chin with
the edge OF the pie, and as she opened
her mouth. he sent the whole thing IN
at once. as II it were straw hat.

keeper. "A woman came here yester-
day and wanted to know II she could

Here were two uplifted from the earth
upon a sky-piercing mountain. They
would have had more range of action
and more liberty OF motion II they
had been upon a derelict in the ocean.
And she realized at the same time
that In all those stories the two cast
aways always loved each other. Would
it be so with them? Was 1t SO? And
again the hot fame within outvied the
fire OF the hearth as the blood rushed
to the smooth surface OF her cheek
again.
What would her father say II he
could know her position. what would
the world say, and above all what
would Armstrong say. 1t cannot be
denied that her thoughts were terri
bly, and overwhelmingly dismayed.
and yet that despair was not without
certain relief. No man had ever SO
interested her as this one. What was
the mystery Of his life. why was he
there. what had he meant when he
had blessed the idle impulse that had
sent her into his arms?
Her heart throbbed again. She lift.
ed her face from aer hands and dried
her tears, warm glow stole over her
and once again not altogether from
the fire. Who and what was this
man? Who was that woman whose
picture he had taken from her? Well
she would have time to find out And
meantime the world outside could
think and do what 1t pleased. She
sat staring into the fire light. seeing

CHAPTER XIV.
Tho Woman's Heart,

That upper earth on which they
lived was covered with thick blank
ct of snow. The lakes and pools were
frozen from shore to shore. The
mountain brooks. II they flowed at all,
ran under thick arches of ice. The
deepest canons were we'll nigh impas-
sible from huge drifts that sometimes
almost rose level with the tops of the
walls. In every sheltered spot great
banks of white were massed. The
spreading branches of the tall pine
trees in the valleys dropped under
heavy burdens Of snow. Only here
and there sharp gaunt peaks were
swept clean by the fierce winter
winds and thrust themselves upward
In icy air, naked and bare. The cold
was polar in its bitter intensity.
The little shelf or plateau jutting
out from the mountain side upon
which the lonely cabin stood was shell
tered from the prevailing winds, but
the house itself was almost covered
with the drifts. The constant fire
roaring up the huge stone chimney
had melted some of the snow at the
top and 1t had run down the slanting
roof and formed huge icicles on what
had been the caves of the house. The
man had cut away the drifts from
doors and windows for light and lib
erty. At first every stormy night
would fill his laborious clearings with
drifting snow. but as 1t became pack
ed down and frozen solid he was able
to keep his various ways open without
a great deal of ifficulty. A little
work every morning and evening suf-
feed.
Every day he had to go down the
mountain stairway to the bottom Of
the pocket to feed and water the bur
ros. What was quick and simple
task In milder, warmer seasons some
times took him half day under the
present rigorous conditions. And the
woman never saw him start out in
the storm without sinking heart and
grave apprehension. On his return to
the cabin half frozen. almost spent
