There was a mild cheer from the men
about the stove over these heroic
measures, and one Of them thoughtful.

sleigh. The next moment all were

Of the sleigh Looking down closely
he found the doctor trying to extricate
flask from one Of his pockets. With
a quick wrench he took it from him,
and would have thrown 1t into the
snow, but the thought struck him that
1t might be needed, and he put 1t into
his own pocket.
The doctor struggled to his feet.
"Say, Harris, you're friend O. mine.
but don't take too many liberties, see?
s no use tryin' without 1t. Jush give
me that bottle now, or I'll get out an

Harris was SO pleased at the signs
of returning conference that he could
nave huggsd the doctor, but he only
said, you've had enough for tonight.
And you won't get out, because If you
try to I'll knock you senseless in the
bottom of the Sleigh"
After that the doctor remained ST.

demanded "Shay. Harris, where you
takin' me to, anyway"
I'm taking you to my home"
"Wha' for? You're all right, L

stood erect.

Just as the dawn was breaking he
knelt beside her. Her eyes were very
large and quiet, and her face was
white and still. But she raised one
pale hand, and the thin fingers fondled
In his hair. She. drew his face very
gently down, and big silent tears stood
in his eyes.

CHAPTER iiI-continued.

1t was not dreadfully cold, but the
sky seemed only vast turmoil Of
snow. Darkness came down very ear
ly, but at last Harris began to recog-
nize familiar landmarks close by the
trail, and just as night was settling
in he drew into the partial shelter Of
the bench on the bank of the cOulee.
The horses pulled on their reins per-
sistently for the stable, but Harris
forced them up to the house. His
loud shout was whipped away by the
wind and strangled in p moment, SO
he climbed stiffly from the wagon and
pulled with numbed hands at the
double thickness Of carpet that did
service for door. He fancied he
heard sound, but could be sure of
nothing; he called her name again
and again. but could distinguish no
answer. But at last the fastenings
which help the carpet gave way, and
he half walked, half fell, into the
house.
The lantern burned dimly. but 1t
was not at the lantern he looked. In
the farthest corner, scarcely visible I'm

her shoulder was the gun, trained
steadily upon him.
MARY Mary. don't you know me"
he cried.
She dropped her weapon TO the floor,
where 1t went of, harmlessly burying
Its charge In the sod wall.
THANK God, oh, thank God!" she
exclaimed.
He threw off his wet overcoat and
rushed 10 her side But she sat silent
on the bed, staring absently at the
light flickering uncertainty in the wind
from the open door.
He hastily rearranged the carpet,
then, returning to her, he took her
hands in his and rubbed them briskly.
But she still stared vaguely at the
light.
Suddenly thought came to him.
He rushed outside, to find that the
horses, of their own accord, had taken
shelter beside the stable. Here from
the wagon he drew a little bundle and
hurried back to the house.
She was sitting where he left her,
shivering slightly and watching the
play of the light as it flickered up and
down the wall. He tore the package
open and spread its contents before
her.
At first she took no notice, but
gradually her eyes found the outline of
soft cloth and dainty feminine de-
