Encircling him with her arm and
him against her shoulder
she started away with him down the
creek and out of the shadow of tbs
snowbank. He was unsteady, fall
tering, and at first they could go
only at snaiPs pace. All the time
she encouraged him with her words
and her voice, and most Of all by the
pressure of her hand. And soon
they were from under the snow roof
and were seeking a path up the steep
wall of the gully.
Without a word from Pete she
continued on down the ravine until
she found an old game trail that per
mitted fairly easy egress. This had
been part of the guides own teach
ing in their many excursions into
the wild. The narrow, brown trail
/ ing path up the hillside was quite
steep, but at least it was a way
through the brush and offered ther
the greatest margin Of safety. Slow
", iabofiously3 resting every few
PAGES, they reached the crest.
The fight was not only to sur
mount the grade. She also had to
guard against a lapse. into uncon-
sciousnessS on the part of the injured
man, the results of which would
have been to throw all of his dead
weight against her and hurl them
both down the steep grade in a peril
Gus fall Pete gave his own strength
of win to this battle; and he was
breathless and fainting when he re
Taxed on the crest of the gully.
IT'S not so cold up here" the
man told her, when he had rested
There's no use of you breaking
your heart open trying to half-carry
me. l think you can leave me here
and send the natives to bring mC
in"
Dorothy glanced at the white sky
and needed the threat of winter il

was her companion, her stronghold
and shelter; but this was only the
beginning. In that instant of stress
the voice of her heart spoke clearly
above the confusing babble OF lesser
tongues, and some deep tenderness
almost forgotten-was thrilled IN
to life. This rough man Of the opens
made an appeal to her that could 40
longer be denied, that reached to
the secret places Of her being.
The time might come when false
pride would manifest itself again,
and she would be ashamed of this
heart secret that the fateful moment
had revealed; but she yielded to 1t
freely now. She took his rough
hands and kissed their wounds, then
she kissed his lips to see if they were
still warm with life. Then she
pressed his battered head against
her breast and rocked him as child
rocks its doll.
She kissed the homely, bleeding
face, then tried to coax him back tc
consciousness. -. They must .lot
linger here in the creek bed and
under the cold roof of snow. He was
not dead /; she was sure of that now
AS she mounted nearer the head

She began quietly to battle his
wounds. The cold water was an
effective stimulant, and soon he
stirred and opened his eyes.
1t moved her to the depths to sec
d little, faint echo of his friendly
smile come to his lips. 1t was almost
imperceptible, yet it's meaning was
plain; that he would stand between
her and disaster, that she need not
fear. Don't trouble about me" he
told her family.
The drops of water on his bleed
ing face were not wholly from tie
cold stream. Her tears lay there,
too. Don't try to talk" she caution
ed him.
He closed his eyes, rested, ard
! full consciousness came back to him.
81 don't believe I'm badly hurt, Mrs.
INewhall-just shaken up and
scratched. Maybe / can get up

"I'm afraid it wouldn't be best e

here-almost freezing. The best
plan is to try to reach the camp"
He spoke softly, with evident diff
Guilty; yet she was convinced at last
he was not MORALLY injured. She
realized that life itself, however
might depend on getting him at once
into camp. At least he must not be
left under the snowbank to tn,
imercy of the cold.
She took his hand and he tried t
get to his feet. Evidently the entire
mechanism of his central nervou,
system had suffered from the shocl
of the fall, and at first his muscles
refuse dto respond to the command
of his brain. 1t was only with tht
girls help that he was able to &c
to his knees. Very slowly, INSTEAD

oct for the moment, that this lll&h.
was OF a plane and sphere far be-
low hers. Unaware of her own ach-
mo muscles she worked cheertuily
about the camp, tending to Pete S
every comfort, warming his great,
cold hands between hers, even cut

creagingly evident that he had re-
ceived no mortal injuries, only d
severe shock and some painful
bruises and cuts, yet she found her
self nursing him as if his life were
at stake. The hours winged by,
ind night seemed to fall before its
time.
It was only when she had gone to
her own bed, tired out, and the two
packers were on watch, that she
dared scrutinize the events of the
day. 1t was not merely that she had
gaven heroic aid to Pete, lavish with
her own strength and wracking her
body with fatigue. She might have
done as much, under certain cohdi-
tons, to any one in need. The thing
that amazed her, that distressed and
terrified her, was not that she had
helped him, gut that in helping him
she had found the greatest glory,
the most exalted happiness that had
blessed her since the first months
