Doctor Hardy recovered from his In
juries as rapidly as could be expected
and. while he chafed somewhat over
spending his holidays under such cir
cumstances. the time passed not I'M
happily.
A considerable mountaineering had
sprung up between him and the senior
Eden. The rancher had come from the
East forty years before, bat In turning
over their memories the two men
found many links of association: third
persons known TO them both; places,
even streets and houses, common to
their feet In early manhood: events of
local history which each could recall,
although from different angles. And
Elden's grizzled head and STOPPING
frame carried more experiences than
would fill dozen well-rounded city
lives. and he had the story-teller's art
which scorns to spoil dramatic effect
by too strict adherence to fact. But
no ray of conversation would he admit
into the more personal affairs of his
heart, or of the woman who had been
his wife, and even when the talk
turned on the boy he quickly withdrew
it to another topic, as though the sub
ject were dangerous or distasteful. But
once. after long silence following such
a diversion, had he betrayed himself
into whispered remark, an outburst
of feeling rather than a communion
ton.

ing whether to proceed with this I'M
wonted confidence, but the ache in his
heart insisted on its right to human
sympathy. mo, 1t amt that" he con-
tinued. "He despises me because he
thinks wasn't fair to his mother. He
