AS nearly as he thought advisable,
Con told her how deep was his admi-
ration; and then. in the moist cool
evening, he walked abroad upon the
slopes, alone. He tramped far under
the starry films of night, and gave his
thanks to the source of their light.
Anxiety, triumph, humility. and the
total sweetness of life were oddly min
gled in his thoughts. One thing was
final: he had reached the first impor-

the watch-fire and Helen's tent. He
made IL known that the princess must
not be taken away for many days. He
intimated to Con that her peril was
only just less terrible than his own

avoid her intimately inquiring eyes.
"You seem to hold yourself from me-"
she added.
His covenant with himself was dis

his point of view. He recognized in
Helen the Westerner, who perhaps did
not so urgently need the protection of

toward him. The gemmed hair of the
grass sent up its fragrance.

He could not say just when she had

1t was quite while before promi-

his friends personal experience
which he had one summer when, being
somewhat run down in health, he went
into the Adlrondncks to rest.
One day. as he was wandering aim
lessly through the woods, he came up
on huge boulder not far from the
railroad that runs along the shore of
q lake. Listlessly he began TO carve
his name on the rock, but gradually
warmed to the task and chiseled zeal
ously away until he had wrought both
name and date with various embellish-
ing fiourishes.
AS he was proudly surveying the
result of his labor. an elderly back
woodsman appeared on the scene. Aft
er the customary greeting. he dex-
terously shifted his pack to the ground,
then with somewhat qulzzical air
surveyed the lawyers work.
