She waited for him to go on, but
he pretended to be concerned
wholly with guiding her along the
platform.

He made no answer. They
walked as far as the rear of the
train, turned and came back be-
fore she spoke again. "What is 1t
they are doing to the front of our
train, Mr.. Eaton?"
He looked. "They are putting a
pillow on the engine. When we get
across the Idaho line and into the
mountains, you are to ride behind
double-header driving a rotary
snow-plow."
They stood a minute watching
the trainmen; as they turned, his
gaze went past her. Also" he
added, "Mr. Avery, with his usual
gracious pleasure at my being in
your company. is hailing YOU from

He saw that she sensed the un-
truthfulness of these last words.
Her smooth young forehead and
her eyes were shadowy with
thought.

Neither spoke. as he went with
her into the next car; and at the
section where her father sat.
Eaton bowed silently, nodded to
Avery, who coldly returned his
nod, and left her.
Eaton went on into his own car
and sat down, his thoughts in mad
confusion. How near he had come
to talking to this girl about him
self. even though he had felt from
the first that was what she was
trying to make him do! Was he
losing his common sense? He felt
that he must not see Harriet Dorne
again alone.

CHAPTER Ill.
Miss Dorne Meets Eaton

For some time Eaton sat as II
stunning companionship. At
length he filled a cigar case and
went toward the club car In the
rear. As he passed the Dornes,
Harriet looked up, then spoke to
her father; he nodded but did not
look up.
Eaton had been sitting In the OBJ
servation room only few min
utes when Harriet Dorns and
Avery entered and passed. They
were talking and Avery seemed
vexed. She seated herself, while
he. after various pretexts. edged
toward Eaton and drew him into
a conversation. The conversation
on Ayery's part, was patiently
forced; and Eaton replied because
he had to. Avery drew out Eaton's
name and gave his own. Finally
the girl rose.
She halted almost In front of
them. Avery, hesitatingly, arose;
and as Eaton observed that Avery
having introduced himself, appear
ed now to consider it his duty to-
present Eaton to Harriet Dorne,
Eaton also arise. Avery murmur-
ed the name. Harriet Dorne
Joined In the conversation.
AS she replied easily and inter-
estedly to comment of Eaton's,
Avery rather abruptly left them.
She took Avery's seat: and Eaton
dropped into his chair beside her.
Now, this whole proceeding had
been SO unnaturally done that
Eaton understood that Harriet
Dorne deliberately had arranged
to make his acquaintance. and
that Avery, angry and Directing,
had been overruled.
A faint, sweet fragrance came
to him and made him recollect
how long 1t was-five years II
since he had talked with, or even
been near, such a girl as this; and
the sudden tumult of his pulses
warned him to keep watch of
what he said until he had learn
ed why she had sought him out.
Its wonderful" she said,
isn't it,"
You mean the Storm"
She turned to him, apparently
disappointed. An artist would
think OF it as background for
contrasts thing to sketch or
paint; a writer as something to be
written down in words"
Eaton understood. She could not
more plainly have asked him
what he was.
And an engineer. I suppose"
he said. easily. would think of 1t
only as an element to be included
in his formulas"
"Oh-so that Is the way you
were thinking of tit"
You mean," Eaton challenged

Eaton avoided the Dorne party
in the diner, but as the train
paused at Spokane he went forth to
stretch his legs. He found himself
face to face with Miss Dorne.

He felt 1t necessary to take the

toned. Cast away by whom"

As he went forward again after
the train was under way. Connery
tried to recollect how il was that
he had been led into such a mis-
take. II Eaton was not the person
for whom the train was held
might he be some one else of i'm
portanee? Now as he studied
Eaton, he could not imagine what
had made him accept this passen-
ger as person of great position
1t was only when he passed Eaton
q third time, half an hour later
when the train had long left Sc.
attic, that the half-shaped guesses
about the passenger suddenly
eprang into form.
Connery stood and stared back
Eaton did not look like any one
whom he remembered having seen
but he fitted perfectly some one
whose description had been stand
ing for ten days in every edition
OF the Seattle papers. Yes, allow
ing for a change of clothes and a
different way of brushing his hair,
Eaton was exactly the man whom
Warden had expected at his house
and who had come there and
waited while Warden, away in his
car. was killed.
Connery was walking back
through the train, trying to decide
whether he could be at all sure of
this from the mere printed de-
scription, when Mr.. Dorne stop
ped him.
Conductor, do you happen to
know" he questioned, who the
young man Is who took Section
Three in the car forward?"
Connery gasped. He gave his
name on his ticket as Philip d.

him."

''If you find out anything about
him.slet me know" Dorne babe.
Eyes. sir" Connery moved away
and soon went back to look again
at Eaton. Had Mr.. Dorne also seen
the likeness of Eaton in the pub
Hshed descriptions? Connery de-
termined to let nothing interfere
with learning more of Eatin.
Dorne, however, was not de-
pending upon Connery alone for
further information. AS soon as
the conductor had gone, he turned
back to his daughter and Avery
upon the seat opposite.
Avery he said in a tone of
direction, II wish you to get In
conversation with this Philip
Eaton. 1t will probably be useful
IL you let Harriet talk with him,
too. She would get impressions
helpful to me which you can't"
The girl started with surprise,
but recovered at once. Eyes,

Avery ventured to protest.
