'Better give it up he advised.

Better give it up" he advised
"I'n not, then" She smiled stub
bornly as she shook her head.
Presently her fingers touched the
belt.
Gordon edged forward an inch or
two farther. "Put your hand through
the loop and catch hold of the leather
above" he told her.
She did so, and at the same instant
her foot slipped, The girl swung out
into space suspended by one wrist. The
muscles of Elliot hardened into steel as
they responded to the strain. His body
began to slide very slowly down the
incline.
In a moment the. acute danger was
past. Sheba had found a hold with
her feet and relieved somewhat the
dead pull upon Elliot.
She had not voiced a cry, but the
face that looked up into his was very
white.
'Fake your time," he said in a quiet,
matter-of-faet way.
With his help she came close enough
for him to reach her hand. After that
it was only a moment before she knelt
on the plateau beside him.
"Touch and go, wasn't it?" Sheba
tried to smile, but the colorless lips
told the young man she was still faint
from the shock.
He knew he was going to reproach
himself bitterly for having led her into
such a risk, but he could not just now
afford to waste his energies on regrets.
''You might have sprained your wrist"
he said lightly as he rose to examine
the cliff still to be negotiated.
Her dark eyes looked at him with
quick surprise. $50 I might" she
answered dryly.
But his Indifferent tone had the eff
feet upon her Of a plunge into cold
water 1t braced and stiffened her
viii. If he wanted to ignore the ter
rible danger through which she had
passed, certainly she was not going to
remind him Of it.
Gordon was mountaineer enough to
know that the climb up is safer than
the one back. The only possible way
for them to go down the trough was
for him to lower her by the belt until
she found footing enough to go alone.
he did not quite admit it to himself,
but in his heart he doubted whether
she could make it safely.
The alternative was the cliff face.

CHAPTER w.
Across the Traverse.

Across the Traverse.
Elliot took off his shoes and turned
toward the traverse.
'Think I'll see If can cross to that
stairway. You had better wait here,
Miss O'Neill, until we find out if 1t
can be DONE"
Sheba looked across the cliff and
down to the boulder bed two hundred
feet below. 'You can never do it in
the world. Isn't there another way
upT"
IN. The wall above us slopes out.
I've got to cross to the stairway. If
I make 1t I'm going to get rope"
DO you mean you're going back to
town for onef"
eyes"
Her eyes fastened to his in long,
unspoken question. She read the an
swer. He was afraid to have her try
the trough again. To get back to town
by way Of their roundabout ascent
would waste time. If he was going to
rescue her before ght, he must take
the shortest cut, and that was across
the face Of the sheer cliff. For the
first time she understood how serious
was their plight.
The glance Of the girl swept again
the face of the wall he must cross. 1t
could not be done without rope. Her
fear-flled eyes came back to his. "It's
my fault. Imade you come" she said
in low voice.
Nonsense" he answered cheerfully
There's no harm done. IF can't
reach the stairway / can come back
and go down by the trough"
Sheba assented doubtfully.
It had come on to drizzle again.
The rain was fine and cold, almost q
mist, and already It was forming film
OF ice on the rocks.

that had attacked her courage. "YOu

as he dropped the loop of the rope over
her head and arranged it under her
shoulders.

above.
: "All ready" Elliot answered. To
Sheba he said, Hold tight"
The girl was swung from the ledge
and rose jerkily in the air. She
laughed gayly down at her friend be-
low.
'Tt's fun"
Gordon followed her a couple of min
utes later. She was waiting to give
him a hand over the edge of the cliff.

CHAPTER II-Elliot and Macdonald

Macdonald to acquire millions Of dollars

at present taking a leading part In
the establishment of branches for
carrying on the great work now being
done by over a hundred thousand
girls in America. This work. since
the declaration of war has broadened
tremendously in scope. and besides
aiming to make happier homes and
bring health and contentment to
men, women and children, the girls
are bending their efforts toward con-
serving food. helping the Red Cross
and serving their country in many
other ways. In this they have the
hearty approval OF President Wilson
and Food Commission Hoover
Tho latest and most remarkable
development. however, is the spread
of the campfire idea in mining, CEN
ters. The children OF miners have,
because of the circumstances of their
parents. been left almost entirely to
themselves and like Topsy, "they just
growed." The campfire idea is
changing that condition. Under the
direction of proper guardians the
children of miners are now learning
the law OF the campfire, which is to
seek beauty. give service. pursue
knowledge, be trustworthy, hold on
to health. glorify work and be happy,
as their more fortunate sisters are
doing in every part of the country.
In Greeley, Lafayette, Berwind,
Trinidad and many other mining and
railroad centers Of Colorado the
daughters Of miners are enthusiastic
over campfire. They are paying their
own expenses and carry on the work
In the most approved manner. They
are not alone improving their own
lot. but bettering living conditions.
assisting In tho work of caring for
home and the smaller children and
no making life very much more worth
living for themselves and for their
parents. They are learning how to
provide wholesome entertainment and
gradually bringing about the better
ment of morals, manners and living
conditions In the mining camps.
