was delightfully."- soft and al II had
stood exposed to the suns direct rays
for Some time, although the air waa
exceedingly crisp and cold. It was
tempered sufficiently to be merely
cool and agreeable. She Iuxuriated

she had her face buried in the towel

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 SO, ana 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 a chance to uEbraid
her hair, comb 1T out and plait 1t
again. She had not a hair pin left. of
course, and all she could do with ii
vas to replatt It and let It hang upon
her shoulders. Her couture 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.

walked out of the roon, 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-
tite OF good health and exertion. She
had never eaten anything that tasted
80 good to her as that rude meal that
morning, yet she would have enjoyed

shared it with her, If abe had not been
compelled to eat 1t alone. She has
tened her meal on that account, deter

breakfast to seek the man and have

him.
And. after all. she raflected that
she was better alone than in his
presence, for there would come steal

episode of the morning before, try
as she would to put 1t out of her mind.
Well, she was a fairly sensible girl;
the matter was passed, it could net be
helped now, she would forget it as
much as was possible. She would
recur to it with modification later on.
but the present was so full of grave
problems that there was not any room

He went through the inner door as
suddenly as he had come through the
outer one. He was a man of few words,
and whatever social grace he might
once have possessed, and In more ia
vorable circumstances exhibited, was
not noticeable now. The, tenderness
with which he had caressed her the
night before had also vanished.
His bearing had been cool, almost
harsh and forbidding, and his manner
was as grim as his appearance. The
conversation had been a brief one, and
her opportunity for inspection OF him
consequently limited. Yet she had
taken him In. He was a tall, splendid
man. No longer young, perhaps, but In
the prime of life and vigor. His com
plexion was dark and burned browner

was, would have been impossible to a
man Of less splendid vigor than he.
The cabin was low ceiled, and as
she sat looking up at him, he had tow
cred above her until he seemed to
I'LL 1t. Naturally, she had scrutinized
his every action, as she had hung on
his every word. His swift and some
what startled movement, his frowning
as he had seized the picture On which
she had gazed with such interest,
aroused the 1iyeliest surprise and GU
