IL; thus they would get two thick
nesses instead Of one and no openings
to admit the freezing air. When this
was done they lay side by side, econ
omizing the last atom of warmth.
The night hours were dreary and
long. The rain beat into the limbs
above them, and sometimes it sifted
through. At the first gray Of dawn
Bruce opened his eyes.
His dreams had been troubled and
strange, but the reality to which he
wakened gave him no sense of relief.
He fought a little battle, lying there
under the snow-covered limbs Of the
fir tree. Because it was one in which
no blows were exchanged, no shots
fired, and no muscles called into ac-
ton, it was no less a battle, trying
and stern It was fight waged in
his own spirit, and it seemed to rend
him in twain.
The whole issue was clear in his
in these hours of dawn, and he was
slowly, steadily freezing to death
Even now the blood flowed less swift
ly In his veins. Death itself in the
moment, had lost all horror for him !;
rather it was a thing of peace, of
case. All he had to do was to lie
still. Just close his eyes-and soft
shadows would drop over him.
They would drop over Linda too.
She lay stiS beside him; perhaps they
had already fallen. The war he had
waged so long and so relentleSsly
would end in blissful calm. Outside
there was only snow and cold and

conflict with tireless enemies, only
! struggle to tear his agonized body to
pieces; and the bitterness of defeat In
! the end. He saw his chances plain as
he lay beneath that gray sky. Even
now, perhaps, Simon was upon them.
Only two little rife shells remained
with which TO combat him, and he
doubted that his wounded arm would
hold the rife steady. There were
weary, innumerable miles between
! them and any shelter. and only the ter
rible, trackless forest lay between.
Then why not lie still and let
the curtains fall? This was an easy,
tranquil passing, and heaven alone
knew what dreadful mode of egreSs
would be his If he rose to battle fur
ther. All the argument seemed on
one side.
But high and bright above all this
| burned the indomitable flame Of his
, spirit. To rise, to fight, to struggle
on. Never to yield until the Power
above decreedl To stand firm, even
as the pines themselves. The DOM
| inant greatness that Linda had found
in this man rose in him, and he set
his muscles like iron.
He shook off the mists of the frost
| in his brain. Quickly he knelt by Lin
da and shook her shoulders in his
hands. She opened her eyes.
| "Get up, Linda" he said gently.
I'VE have to go on"
She started to object, but a message
In his eyes kept her from it. His
own spirit went into her. He helped
her to her feet.

into the pocket of his coat; the rest,
with the blankets, she tied swiftly on

NAL and for a moment she stood hold
ing the reins while Bruce crept back
on the hillside to look for the trail.
The snow swept round them, and
they felt the lowering menace Of the
cold. And at that instant those dread
spirits that rule the wilderness, jeal-
Gus then and jealous still Of the in
trusion of man, dealt them a final,
deadly blow.
Its weapon was just a sound-a loud
crash In distant thicket-and a
pungent message on the wind that
their human senses were too blunt to
receive. The horse suddenly snorted
loudly, then reared up. Bruce saw as

into the snow furries. Some terror

broken their control of him and In an
instant taken from them this one last

"Oh, Bruce" She Cried, "Come Back
Soon-Soon. Don't Leave Me to Die
Alone"
Bruce" she cried, "come back soon
soon. Don't leave me to die alone.
I'm not strong enough for that"
He whirled, took two PAGES back,
and his arms went about her. He had
forgotten his injury long since. He
kissed her cool lips and smiled into
her eyes. Then at once the furries
hid him.
The girl climbed up into the
branches of a fir tree. In the thicket
beyond a great gray form tackled back
and forth, trying to locate scent that
q second before he had caught but
dimly and had lost. 1t was the Killer,
and his temper was lost long ago in
the whirling snow.
His anger was upon him, partly from
the discomfort of the storm, partly
from the constant, gnawing pain of
three bullet wounds in his powerful
body. Besides, he realized the pres
ence of his old and greatest enemy
those stall, slight forms that had
crossed him so many times, that had
stung him with their bullets, and
whose weakness he had learned.

Whether men are fed up on fsppcrs
with nothing on their minds but their
bobbed hair, and no serious aim in life
except to keep their handmade complex
ions on straight, and are rcacting in
stinctvely towards the more sensible
type of women, | do not know.
But, Mt any rate, there seems to he
a mania just at present among men
for marrying women older than them
selves. Every day we read in the papers
accounts Of elderly widows who have
led lads young enough TO be their grand
sons to the altar, and my own mail s
full of letters from ANXIOUS chaps who
ask my opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of

is full enough of dangers and difficulties
without injecting into il the endless con-
/ hict between youth and age. Not once
in a thousand times do the boy husband,
and the mature wife succeed in being
anything but figures of fun 10 the public,
and tragedy 10 themselves.
OF course, we like to say that the heart
keeps no calendar, and no count OF time
and that lover eyes see only the youth
and beauty of a woman's soul and spirit
and take no heed of the wears that have
registered on her body. We also like &c
say that we are only as old as we feel
and that nothing is so stupid as counting
ones age by time.
All of which is tommyrot. Age is 6
terribly definite thing, and no matter
how we camoufage it to Others, or liz
about it TO ourselves, there is not one o.
us who does not know that when we arr

The Age Limit

Thus il happens that the very quail
ties-the sophistication, the knowledge
of the world, the experience-that attract
q young man to a woman older than
himself is the rock upon which they
wreck their happiness If they marry.
For the woman has the unconscious
arrogance of age She feels that her
Judgment is ripper than her husbands,
and that she has a right to boss things,
and he the head of the house, and that
is no mans idea of happy home. He
wants 20 run the show himself, and
resents being put in the small boy atti-
tude of having TO mind mama.
Naturally, there are exceptions to al
rules. There have been men who have
married women much older than them
selves, and lived happily ever after
Their affection was great enough e
bridge the gap of years, and To builC
their eyes to the fact that their wives
were old, and fat, and grizzled Will,
they were still young and handsome.
Such men are as rare as hens teeth
Most men want a wife who can bc play
fellow as we'll as helpmect A woman
who is a good locker, woman whom
they are proud TO introduce to thei
friends. They want somebody to dane
with them, not somebody with whom
they have to sit huddled over the fir
while she nurses her rheumatism and
they have only an old lady swathed il
red flannel at home, they are mighty ap
to let their gaze wander towards some
thing fresh and fair on the outside.
A clnching objection against a man
marrying a woman older than himself
that such man is the foreordaine,
victim Of his wife's frantic jealousy
He may be haste as ice and pure a
snow. He may be as discreet as Caesa
demanded his wife should be. He ma
be so blind that he never looks at a skirt
and doesn't know whether his ow
stenogrspher is eighteen; or eighty
Still shall his wife be green eyed, an,
make his life torment to him by he
suspicious.
This is inevitable because the womal
knows her own limitations, and is for
ever contrasting herself with ever,
pretty, fresh young girl she sees Sh
knows that youth calls to youth, en-,
she pictures her husband longing for tn
companionship of those who belong T.
his own time of life.
Therefore, son, do not marry q woma
older than yourself Marry girl VIII
will look up to you, instead of woma
whose age you will be bound to respect
Marry a woman five or ten years younge
than yourself and then you will Away
be the same age.
