CHAPTER XXI.
The Cleft Stick.

In Canada's capital, thinking them
selves still safe. Mark had persuaded
Kazia to stay over two days, that they
might have one last uninterrupted Pc
riod together. 1t was a mistake, an
anticlimax.
They were at breakfast when, glanc-
ing up. Mark espied familiar figure
at the doorway of the hotel dining
room-a figure of courtly and noble
mien; moving with slow thoughtful
stride and head slightly bent, as
though, even amid the commonplace
functions Of life, his mind never
ceased to dwell on momentous phil
anthropic projects; and withal mod
estly unaware of the whisper that ran
over the room or Of the many necks
craned in his direction. An obseQuious
captain of walters led him down the
room. and by fateful chance, toward
the table where sat Mark and Kazia.
Mark regarded him in that fascination
which a dangerous object often has
for it's victim.
Now 1t may be that the philanthrop-
list was not quite so unaware as he
seemed Of the interest evoked by his
entrance. for a pair of furtively rowing
eyes alighted upon Mark. He stopped.
Can it be-of course, it is Truitt.
This is an unexpected pleasure" He
extended a genial hand.
Mark took 1t mechanically. How
are you, Mr.. Quinby?" he muttered out
of his daze.

Quinby smiled benignantly. "A busy
life leaves little time TO consider the
state Of ones health. You are looking

I'm better than I've ever BEEN"
There was a pause during which
Quinby glanced tentatively at Kazia.

Quinby smiled humorously, as one who
knows his welcome anywhere is as
sured.

turn every three weeks with fresh

Mindful of his resolve, he planned

they might be perfect for her.

would need on the trip down the river.
They were soon ready.
They were about to embark when
kazia, without explanation, turned and
went back to the cabin. Many min
utes passed and she did not reappear.
Then Mark followed her. He found
her lying prone on the pile Of pine
boughs that had been their couch, face
buried in her arms. Harsh dry sobs
shook her.
