presence of many people added to it. But
it was cold, and growing colder.
For the twentieth time, passing train
man was asked the same question.
"The good Lord only knows" he
growled down into the face of a young
woman whose prettiness would have en-
ticed the most chi, alrous attention from
him earlier in the evening. "Engine and
tender been gone three hours, and the
,isional point only twenty miles up the
line. Should have been back with help
long ago. He'll, ain't it?'
He paused at the smoking compart-
ment, thrust in his head for moment,
passed on, and slammed the door after
him as he went into the next coach.
IN that smoking compartment were two
men, facing each other across the mar
row space between the two seats. They
had not looked up when the trainman
thrust in his head. They seemed, as one
leaned over toward the other, wholly OBJ
Hvious of the storm.
1t was the older man who bent forward.
He was about fifty. The hand that rested
for moment on David Raines knee was
red and knotted. 1t was the hand of a
man who had lived his life in struggling
with the wilderness His face was colored
and toughened by wind and blizzard and
hot northern sun, with eyes cobwebbed
about by myriad of fine lines. He was
not large man. He was shorter than
David Raine. There was a slight droop
to his shoulders. Yet about him there
was strength, suppressed energy,

became a madness.

TF you had stood there on the edge Of
the black spruce forest, with the wind
moaning dismally through the twist
- ing trees-midnight of deep Decem-
berthe Transcontinental would have
looked like a thing of fire, with that band
of illumination which cut it in twain from
the first coach to the last, leaving space
like an. inky hyphen where the baggage
car lay. Out of the north came armies
of snow-laden clouds that scudded just
above the earth, and with these clouds
came now and then shrieking mockery
of wind to taunt this stricken creation OF
man and the creatures it sheltered-men
and women who had begun to shiver, and
whose white faces stared with increas-
ing anxiety out into the mysterious
darkness.
For three hours those faces had peered
into the night. Many of the prisoners
in the snow-bound coaches had enjoyed
the experience at first. There had been
warmth and light, mems laughter, wo-
mems voices, and children's play. But
the loudest jester among the men was now
silent, huddled deep in his great-coat; and
the young woman who had clapped her
hands in silly ecstasy when it was an
nounced that the train was snow-bound,
was weeping and shiyering by turns.
1t was cold--so cold that the snow
which came sweeping and swirling with
the wind was like granite-dust; it clicked,
clicked, clicked against the glass--a bonn
bardment of infinitesmal projectiles fight
ing to break in.
At the edge of the forest it was probably
forty degrees below zero. Within the
coaches there still remained some warmth.
The burning lamps radiated it, and the

an eagerness for life, which the other and
younger man did not possess. Through
out many thousands of square miles of the
great northern wilderness this older man
was knowna as Father Roland, missioner.
His companion was not more than
thirty-eight. Perhaps he was year or
two younger. His eyes were clear and
steady gray as they met Father Roland's.
They were eyes that one could not easily
forget. Except for his eyes, he was like
u man who had been sick, and was still
sick. The missioner had made his own
guess. And now, with his hand on the
others knee, he said:
sand you say-that you are afraid
for this friend of yours?'
David Raine nodded his head Lines
deepened little about his mouth.

Father Roland again.

clearly into the depths Of misfortune
and tragedy interrupted the missioner
quietly.
A faint flush rose into David Raine's
pale face.
"Of course-there was woman he
said.

my friend was tremendous student.
His fortune was sufficient to give him
both time and means for the pursuits he
loved. He had his great library, and ad-
joining it laboratory. He wrote books
which few people read because they were
filled with such odd theories. He believed
that the world was very old, and that
there was less profit for man in discovering
new luxuries for an artificial civilization
than in re-discovering few Of the great
laws and miracles buried in the dust OF
the past His theory was that the patri-
archs of old held closer touch on the
pulse of life than progress in its present
forms will ever bring to us. He was not
a fanatic He was young, and filled with
enthusiasm. He loved children. He
wanted to fill his home with them. But
his wife knew that she was too beautiful
for that--and they had none.'
He leaned little forward, and pulled
his hat trifle over his eyes.
