his dreams and hopes of five minutes
before were broken. Not until he had
reached the portage. Then he stopped
and looked back. The door of the store
was closed. The light still burned in
the factors room and he saw Molly
cross toward him and fling herself on
her knees beside him.
He clenched his fists; but somehow
the violence that relieved his feelings
usually seemed to have no place here.
He couldn't understand. He went
home slowly across the portage.
The factor looked up when Molly en-
tered, and was astOnished to see the
tears upon her face. When she kneeled
down he put his hand clumsily upon
her hair.
what has happened, lass?" he
asked. ''Was it Will Carruthers We
quarreled with?"
HE will never come here again"
said Molly.
A dull fire burned in the factors
eyes. He seemed to be struggling be-
tween two impulses One was to COM
fort his daughter; the other, his graft
ficati0n.
"Ah weel, lass, ye'll find another" he
said
But he abased his head before her
indignant glance. At that moment the
girl felt that her father and she were
farther apart than they had ever been.
When Wilton reached his shack he
took off his coat and flung himself
down on his bed. He would not specu-
late on MoIly's motives. He would not
think Of her at all. He would neither
condemn her nor pity himself.
He forced his mind back to his task.
The trestle-he would lay down a
corduroy-he would drive the men all
the summer, if need be, for JOes sake.
Poor Joe, The presence of the dead
man seemed to fill the camp just as
of old. Joe was The guiding spirit of
this work. He had loved Joe more
truly than it seemed possible TO love
any woman.
He completed the few routine duties
of the office and went to bed. He had
dOzed off to sleep when something
made him start up in bed and listen in
tently. He thought he had heard a
! slight sound in the office.
It was so slight that even his trained
ears sent the message to his brain
doubtfuIly. But it came again. Some
one hads very softly clicked back the
catch OF one of the windows
He had the sense of d listener be
meath it, and. all alert. Wilton crepr
noiselessly to his feet and stood listen
ing in the darkness. Now there was no
doubt. The window was being pushed
very softly open. 1t was the window
between the safe and his bedroom
door In the moonlight Wilton could
see that it was opening by inches.
His own door was slightly ajar, and,
| inch by inch. he pushed it open. too.
He saw a pair Of hands, white, not

CHAPTER TX
The Face at the Window

1t was five days since Wilton had
been to the portage. He had not meant
to see Molly in his dependency, but
treachery came with an invigOrating
shock and aroused his fighting instinct
against Bowyer.
He took the road across the Muskeg.
Wilton saw the girl upstairs, at the
factors side. A book was on her knees
and a lighted lamp behind her. She
was not talking to him, however, but
staring out of the window, and yet she
did not see Wilton as he came to the
door.
At his knock she came downstairs
more slowly than usual. When she
opened the door to him he saw that
she was trembling. Her cheek was icy
cold beneath his kiss.
Gene in, WILL have something TO
say TO you," she said.
He put his arm about her, and they
went into the store together. He could
feel that she was trembling all the
while.
What is it, Molly?" he asked. look
ing into her face and seeing tears in
her eyes. What is it. dear:''
I'm afraid that we've both made a
mistake, Will" she answered.
Wilton laughed. Once or twice Molly
had questioned his love for her, but he
had never had any difficulty in con-
vincing her, in the usual lovers way.
MOLLY dear I know I have neglect

slowly. Il want you TO release me-"
The laughter died on his lips He
put his hands upon her shoulders and
turned her toward him. She raised her
face; her lips were quivering, and the
tears had fallen, leaving her eyes hard
and bright.
You mean that. Molly?" asked Will
ton gravely.
Every word, WILL
why"
Il have ceased TO care for you"
She was keeping control Of herself
with a strong effort, and she shook
more violently. She had nerved her
self to offer an explanation, but now,
FACE TO face with him, she could not
tell him that she had been moved bJ
pity for him. and self-deceived. 1t was
impossible for her to lie to Wilton.
"Molly"-she saw that his face was
set hard as on that night of the riot
Il Cont play with love. l love you and
trust you If you mean that, tell me
again, and that will be enough for
me-"
'I-meant it, Oh, can't you under
stand that 1 have changed?" she cried
desperately. II can never care for
you, WiltOn!'
He released her and turned away.
Goodnight, Molly" he said.
Yet he went slowly out of the door,
and, because the shock had GENE with
stunning force, he was amazed that
she did not call him back. He could
not make himself understood that all
