could walk twelve miles across the
mountains 70 the ranger station In
much less time than she could drive,
by automobile. seventy miles down to
the ranches at the foothills about the
valley.
Besides. she remembered with a
~gladdenlng heart that Richards n
of the rangers had been a student at
a medical college and had taken a po-
sition with the forest service to re-
gain his health. She would cross the
ridge TO the station, phone for a doc
tor In the valleys. and would eturn
on horseback with Richards for such
first aid as he could give. The only
problem that remained vas that of
getting her father into the house.
He was stirring q little now. Evil
IDENTIFY consciousness was returning to
him. And then she thanked heaven
for the few simple lessons In first aid
that her father had taught her In the
days before care3essness had come
upon him. One OF his lessons had
been that of carrying an unconscious
human form-a method by which even
a woman may carry. for q short dis
lance. a heavy man. II was approx
mately the method used In carrying
wounded In No Mans Land: the body
thrown wei the shoulders, one arm
through the fork of the legs 10 the
wounded mans hand. Her father vas
not a particularly heavy man und she
was an exceptionally strong young
woman. She knew at once that this
problem was solved.
The hardest part was lifting him TO
her shoulders. Only by calling upon
her last ounce of strength, and tug
cling upward with her arms, was she
able to do 1t. But It vas fairly easy
in her desperation, to carry him down
the hill. What rest she got she tool
by leaning against a tree, the linn
body still across her shoulders.
1t was a distance of one hundret
yards In all. No muscles but thos'
trained by the outdoors, no lungs ex
cept those made strong by the noun
tain air, could have stood that test
She laid him on his w bed, on TN
lower floor, and set his broken limb
the best she could. She covered hin
up with thick, fleecy blankets, and sc
, a bottle Of whisky beside the bee
Then she wrote a note to Dan an
, fastened 1t upon one of the interio
| doors.
She drew on her hob-nailed boots
t needed sorely for the steep climb
. and pocketed her pistol. She thrust
handful of jerked venison into I'll
pocket of her coat and lighted the lai
I tern. The forest night had fallen, so
and vibrant and tremulous, over ii
a heads of the dark trees when 81
. started out.

to forget the little, whispered message
that she gave him with his last spoon
full of medicine. She said she'd pray
for him, and she meant 1t too-literal,
entreating prayer that could not go I'M
heard. She was a mountain GIRL n
her beliefs were those of her ances-
tors-simple and true and wholly
without affectation. But he hadn't
relaxed thereafter. He knew he time
had come to make the test. Night
after night he would go to bed hair
sick from fatigue, but the mornings
would find him fresh. And after two
weeks. he knew he had passed the
crisis and was on the direct road TO
complete recovery.
Sometimes he cut wood in the for
est: first the telling of some tall pine
then the trimming and hewing into
two-foot lengths. The blisters came
on his hands, broke and bled, but
finally hardened into callosities. He
learned the most effective stroke TO
hurl a shower of chips from beneath
the blade. His back and limbs hard
ened from the handling of heavy wood
and the cough was practically gone.
His frame filed out. His face became
swarthy from constant exposure. de
gained in weight.
One cloudy afternoon in early No
vember found Silas Lennox cutting
wood on the ridge behind his house. 1t
was still an open question with him
whether he and his daughter would
attempt to winter On the Divide. Dan
of course wanted TO remain, yet there
were certain reasons, some very DEN
mite and others extremely vague, why
the prospect Of the winter In the snow

The first few days nearly killed him.
He over-exercised In the chill rain,

all the symptoms of pneumonia. Such

CHAPTER ~
Started GU

Snowbird felt very glad of her init
mate. accurate knowledge of the
whole region of the Divide. In her In
fancy the winding trails had been her
playground, and long ago she had ac-
quired the mountaineer's sixth sense
for traversing them at night. h had
need of that knowledge now. She
slipped into her free, swinging stride;
and the last beams from the windows
Of the house were soon lost In the
pines behind her. 1t was n of those
silent, breathless nights with which
no mountaineer is entirely unacquaint-
ed, and for a long time the only sound
she could hear was her own soft
tramp in the pine needles. The trees
themselves were motionless. That
peculiar sound. not greatly different
from that Of running water which the
wind often makes In the pine tops,
was entirely lacking. Not that she
could be deceived by it-as stories
tell that certain tenderfeet, dying of
thirst in the barren hills, have been.
But she always liked the sound and
she missed 1t especially tonight.
She felt that If she would stop to
listen. there would be many faint
sounds In the thickets-those little
hustled noises that the wild things
make to remind night-wanderers OF
their presence. But she did mo- In
the least care to hear these sounds.
They do not tend toward peace OF
mind on a long walk ove the ridges.
The wilderness began at once

No one knew this fact better thai
Lennox himself who, In q hard win
ter of four years before, had looket
out Of his window TO find the vol
pack ranged in a hungry circle abou
his house. Within two hundred yard
