The sheep know their masters
voice-there is no doubt about that;
but it is more important to know
what they do when they hear it
whether they flee tn fear or come
with expectancy.
Sheep, like other animals, are
creatures of habit, and should always
be handled by the same attendant,
who should move among them gently
and give notice of his approach by
speaking to the flock.

through the unshaded window looked
upon field Of battle-death, wounds,
triumphs, defeats portrayed upon one
poor human face, upturned as some
times victors and vanquished alike up
turn stark faces from the field to the
God above who may pity but who has
not intervened
So Jacob may have looked after
that awful night when he wrestled un-
til the day broke, with the angel, and
would not let him go until he blessed
him, walking, forever after with halt
ing step as memorial, but with his
blessing earned. Hath this mans bless
ing won or not? And must he pay
for it if he hath achieved it?
And all the while the woman slept
quietly upon the other side of that
door.

rough, coarse, but clean, she heard a
step. She looked Up in time to see
the man Icy down upon the bench a
small mirror and a clean comb. He
said nothing as he did so, 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 a chance to unbraid
her hair, comb it out and plat it
again. She had not hair pin left, Of
course, and al she could do with it
was to Teplait 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.
Her breakfast was ready for her. It
was a coarse fare, bacon, baked po-
tato, hard tack cr1sped 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-
tite 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 trimming, smoking coffee pot on
it better, she thought, if he had only
shared it with her, if she had not been
compelled to eat it alone. She has
tened her meal on that account, deter
mined as soon as she had finished her
breakfast to seek the man and have
some definite understanding with
him.
And, after all, she reflected that
she was better alone than in his
presence, for there would come steal
ing into her thoughts the distressing
episode of the morning before, try
as she would to put it out of her mind.
Well, she was fairly sensible girl;
the matter was passed, it could not 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
for the past.

The woman slept quietly on. No thin
Darricade easily unlocked or easily
broken protected her. Something in
tangible, yet stronger than the thick
est, the most rigid bars Of steel guard
ed her; something unseen, indescrib-
able, but so unmistakabIe when it
throbs in the breast Of those who de-
pend on it feel that their dependence
is not in vain watched over her.
Cherishing no evil thought the man
had power to crafty his desire which
might yet bear a sinister construction
should it be observed. 1t was her pri-
vacy he was invading. She had trust
ed to him, she had said so, to his hon.
or, and that stood her in good stead.
His honor! Not in five years had he
heard the word or thought the thing,
but he had not forgotten it. She had
not appealed to an unreal thing; upon
that her trust was based. His hand
left the latch, it fell gently, he drew
back and turned away trembling, a
conqueror who mastered himself. He
was awake to the truth again.
What had he been about to do? Pro-
fame, unlimited, the sanctity of her
chamber, violate the hospitality of his
own house? Even with proper mo-
tive, imperil his self-respect, shatter
her trust, endanger that honor which
so suddenly became a part of him on
demand? She would not probably
know; she could never know unless
she awoke. What Of that? That an
cient honor of his life and race rose
like mountain whose scarped face
cannot be scaled.
He fell back with swift turn,
feeling almost womanly; and more
men, perhaps, if they lived in fem
mime isolation, as self-centered as
women are so often by necessity,
would be as feminine as their sisters
Influenced him, oTercame him. His
hand went to his hunting shirt Nerv-

Ously he tore it open; he grasped a
bright object that hung against his
breast. AS he did so, the thought came
to him that not before in five years
had he been for a moment uncon-
sciOus of the pressure of that Iocket
over his heart, but now that this 9TH
er had come, he had to seek for it to
find it.
The man dragged it out, held it in
his hand and opened it. He held it so
tightly that it almost gave beneath
the strong grasp of his strong hand.
From a nearby box he drew another
object with his other hand He took
the two to the light, the soft light Of
the candle upon the table, and stared
from one to the other with eyes brim-
ming.
Like crystal gazers, he saw other
things than those presented to the
casual vision. He heard other sounds
than the beat of the rain upon the
roof, the roar of the wind down the
canon. A voice that he had sworn
he would never forget, but which, God

that it might have had yesterday,
whispered awful words to him.
Anon he looked into another face,
red, too, with no hue from the hearth
or leaping flame, but red with the
blood of CHASTITY wounds. He heard
again that report, the roar louder and
more terrible than any peal Of thun-
der that rived the clouds above his
head and made the mountains Quake
and tremble. He was conscious again
OF the awful stiffness of death that SUI
pervaded. He dropped on his knees,
buried his face in his hands where
they rested on picture and locket on
the rude table.
All, the past died hard, for a mo-
ment he was the lover of old-remorse,
passionate expiation, solitude-he and
the dead together-the world and the
living forgotl He would not be
false, he would be true, there was no
power in any feeble woman's tender
hand to drive him off his course, to
shake his purpose, to make him a new,
another man. Oh, Vanitas, VAN
itatuIn!
On the other side Of the door the
unconscious woman slept quietly on.
The red freight died away, the glow
ing Goals sank into gray ash. Within
the other room the cold dawn stealing

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
by long exposure to sun and wind, win
ter and summer. In spite of the brown,
there was a certain color, hue Of
health in his cheeks. His eyes were
hazel, sometimes brown, sometimes
gray, and sometimes blue, she after
ward learned. A short thick closely
cut beard and mustache covered the
lower part of his face disguised but
not hiding the squareness of his jaw
and the firmness of his lips.

ed and when he took If off She mo-
ticed that his dark hair was tinged

He turned away without another

He turned away without another
word.
Wait" said the woman. SCI am
afraid to stay here"
She had been fearless enough before
in those mountains, but her recent ex-
perience had somehow unsettled her
nerves,
There is nothing on earth to hurt
you, l think" returned the man.
There isn't a human being, so far as
1 know, in these mountains"
Except my uncle's party?"
He nodded.

he went on, unconcernedly, studiously
looking away from her, not to add to
her confusion at the remembrance Of
that awful episode which would OBJ
trude itself on every occasion. 'You
can use a rifle or gum"
She nodded. He stepped over to
the wall and took down the Winches-
ter which he handed her.
''This one is ready for service, and
you will find a revolver on the shelf.
There is only one possible way of &C.
cess to this cabin; that's down those
rock stairs. One man, one woman, a
child, even, with these weapons could
hold it against an army"
Couldn't I go with you?"
"On that foot?"
Enid pressed her wounded foot upon
the ground. 1t was not so painful
when resting, but she found she could
not walk a step on it without great
suffering.
81 might carry you part of the way"
said the man. Il carried you last
night, but it would be impossible, all
Of it."
Promise me that you will be back
by nightfall, with Uncle Bob and"
ct shall be back by nightfalI, but I
can't promise that I will bring any
body with me-"
'You mean?"
'You saw what the cloudburst near
ly did for you," was the quick an
swer. eff they did not get out of that
pocket, there is nothing left of them
now"
"But they must have escaped" per-
sisted the girl, fighting down her
alarm at this blunt statement Of posi-
BILE peril. Besides, Uncle Robert and
most of the rest were climbing one of
the peaks, and"
"They will be all right, then; but If
I am to find the place and tell them
your story, must go now"
He turned, and without another
word or a backward glance, scrambled
down the hill. The girl limped to the
brink of the cliff over which he had
plunged and stared after him. She
watched him as long as she could see
him, until he was lost among the
trees. If she had anybody else to de-
pend upon. she would certainly have
felt differently toward him; when
Uncle Robert, and her aunt, and the
children, and old Kirkby, and the rest
surrounded her, she could hate that
man in spite Of all he had done for
her, but now she stared after him de-
terminedly making his way down the
mountain and through the trees. 1t
was with difficulty she could restrain
herself from calling him back
The silence was most oppressive,
the loneliness was frightful. She had
been alone before in those mountains,
but from choice; now the fact that
there was no escape from them made
the sensation a very different one.

CHAPTER XII.
A Tour of Inspection.


The first thing necessary. she de-
c1ded, 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 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 a man buried himself
alone in that wilderness? These re-
Elections were presently interrupted by
the temperance Of the man him
self.
Have you inished?" he asked, IN
tremendously standing in the door
way as he spoke.
Eyes, thank you, and it was very
good indeed"
Dismissing this politeness with
wave of his hand, but taking no other
notice, he spoke again.
eff 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,
large one, flows into it, several miles,
l 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 mans look could well
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
ing, to shine and dazzle in his face.
AS she hesitated in confusion, perhaps
comprehending its cause, he helped
out her lame and hating sentence.
ST know the canon well,' he said.

you refer. Is it just above where the
river makes an enormous bend upon
itself?"
