 They went out into the wind. The moon had disappeared, and with it the pleasant little valley. As Peak had said, it was cold On the way home, and Sam had ! insisted that they go home imme- diately, there was silence. Both were busy with thoughts that were anything but pleasant.
 Peak, puffing savagely at ciga- rette, surveyed the ruin of his care fully laid plans. In one unaccount- able moment he had destroyed all the framework of confidence he had built so carefully.
 No more would Sam regard him as an undemanding friend and companion. No longer would she be at ease and off guard in his presence.
 He had slammed the little eide door by which he had hoped to find a way to her heart. He won dered whether there were any other such doors or whether Freddy Nun son had locked them all. He won dered what Sam was thinking of him at the moment.
 As a matter of fact, Sam was not thinking of him at all, although a phrase he had spoken was drum ming in her brain. "Is there some body else?" Peak had asked. There isn't anybody else, is there, Sam?"
 Was there anybody else? Sam could have cried aloud in very real pain, for she was realizing all at once that in the weeks that had just passed the thought of Fred dy Munson had slipped further and further into the background of her consciousness. She had thrust it there deliberately at first in what she had been sure was a hopeless effort to forget.
 The thing seemed impossible, and

Peak could not answer Sam's question of how poverty had af- fected her.

MINING TRAIL
 ON CH|CHACOF
 ALMOST BULL!
Forest Service Crew Builds l3h Miles of 19-Mile
 Prospectors' Trail

Thirten and one-half miles of trail leading from Chichagof to Hoonah Sound, on Chic h a g 0 Island, was completed this season and the remainder, about 6 miles will be built next season, accord ing to Ranger Charles Burdick, United States Forest Service, who returned here yesterday with the trail crew. The trail is one of a network planned by the Forest Service to open up Chichagof Island to prospecting.
 The crew was made up of George Jaclaw, foreman, J. H. Henderson, Herman Ulbimenx, Harry Schurz, William Hancock and George Red mind. Before going to Chichagof last August it completed the trail at Salmon Creek reservoir.
 Cabin for Prospectors
 A first class trail has been con- structed on Chichagof. It crosses the mountains at an elevation of 800 feet. On Black River, cabin was constructed which is available for use by prospectors and others using the route. Five bridges-two of which are on the forks of Black River-were constructed.
 On October 10, bridge over one of the forks was swept away by a flood and had to be rebuilt. The crew reported the heaviest rainfall any of it had ever experienced. The bridge had been built eight feet above the bar with the water at normal stage. On the day of the flood, the water showed an eight-foot vertical raise in the stream, and stood over three feet above the bridge. Cut off from it's camp, the crew were forced to camp under a tree for the night. During the evening the rain ceased and next morning, the men waded the river and the water was just below their knees.
 One of the crew, separated from his companions, spent the night roasting in a tree where he had been chased by bear

yet to certain degree it had hap pened. In the exc it e m ent of Fourth's sudden windfal, of her newly discovered interest in people and things, she had allowed her. self to drift. There had been pe- riods of days, she told herself re- morselessly, when she had not thought of Freddy at all. Even now it was difficult to bring to mind clear cut vision of. his face
 The more she thought of the matter the more clear became the fact of her shallowness and her treachery. She had half forgotten when she should have remembered. She had been happy when she should have been miserable. As sort of crowning touch she had kissed Peak Abbott that very night. She had not kissed him, as Peak himself has suggested, through any sense of duty, but simply because she had responded to a very defi- nite urge.
 What did that kiss mean? What did anything mean?
 When they reached the stable she said good night to Peak hur- riedly, absently, and ran across the gravel to the front door.
 There was a single light burn ing on the little table in the liv- ing room and beside it lay a tele- gram. She ripped the yellow form from it's envelope, and glanced cas- ually at the typewriter words. Then, suddenly, she stiffened
