The man gave a sharp exclamation,
and rati'hJng the girl by the wrlat ha
auld Mernly:
"Lfcu't "poak that way. When you

hand fell liiilf-unronnJoutly upon tjia

to my worda of love and nover turned

"They Interested me at long as they
were different," the girl returned, mad.
dentngly.
"When you hove something new to
say, exict me to remember you; but
until then I do not care to even listen,"
and the trapper wa left aJone with
his rago and love. Until his depar
turo on the following day the spoiled
beauty kept out of his wny, and ofica
he had disappeared, she drew a deep
algh of relief.
Smiling a little to hernetf. And yet
wondering If he would itudy some
thing new to aay to her when ha
etiwrged from the (lungers of the un
broken path Into the wilderness, aha

so wrapped up fa her own thouht

In tracking down the wildest kind of
gante, and hiding his prewoce fima -tha

when Leona felt a man's arms KioTlt
her. and a man's mouth pressJ to
hers; an 1 frightened atrauet to dctrth
she looked up Into Jean'a dark, flash
ing eyes.
"You told me to make love aitfcry
ently," he said, after ha had kissed
her breathless, "and so I have. I knew
no other man had ever held yon In
his arms or taken kisses from your
Hps. Now I have put my itamp on
you." .
With a heavy sigh, and yet with tha
light of hopeful love la his face, Jean
retraced his steps, and this time fairly
began hi long Journey. For weeks
afterward, Leona felt her cheeks born
crimson ut the very thought of Jean'a
klsaes, and yet In her heart she waa
not angry, for ahe did love hlni, though
her untamed girlish nature rebelled
at restraint. As the dnys crept on, sha
took pleasure In the thought that aha
belonged to thta mighty hunter, and
she begun to plan her future as tilt
wife. . Suddenly her happiness wua
crushed as the tender verdure beneath
the brunches of the felled forest tree.
After a day that had seemed unusual'
ly long to her Impatience, although
one of the shortest of the year, she
was sitting In the chimney corner Idly
listening to her father, when some of
hU words recalled her to attention.
"I didn't think that of Jean. I la
ought to be ushuined of such u thing.",
"What?" Leonn aifked. -i.ir.' I
"Marrying an Indian girl," was th
careless answer.' "
"He neer did!" she' sold fiercely,
her eyes biasing In the firelight.
For a week .he lay ill, and when
she finally eruwled forth into the oped
air she loved so well she was like oua
smitten. All her proud, young cour
tge was gone, fclie fchunned the trap
pers who flocked to her father's store,
and spent her time out In the woods
where Jean had kissed her maiden
lips and held her In his strong arms.
Into this retreat no one dured pene
trate, not even Long John Hat hers.
lie would not give np the secret hopa
In his heart, and tried to court her,
although he said but little. His eyes
glowed a red fire that nothing extin
guished. Leoun at first acurcely no
ticed hlio, then hated him for the lova
she saw he bore her, and prevented
bin) from Nieaklng of It until one day
when the sun was beginning to feel
warm, and she was once more In tha
woods. Ilellevlng herself entirely
alone, she began to live over onca
more the love scene of the fall be
fore, when suddenly Long John stood
before her, shaking madly of bla
love, and pleading madly with her to
return It.
The girl fought like a young tiger.
She knew now that he had been a"'
witness to her last scene with Jean,
aud It drove ber mad with rage. Fi
nally, seeing the hateful, bearded faea
coming nearer and nearer, she cried
aloud for help, and In providential an
swer to her cry It came, for auddenly
Long John measured his length on tha
grass, and she saw Jean like one in
a dream.'
"Come, Leona, sweetheart," Jean
said tenderly, "give me the welcoma
back I deserve," and he held out bla
arms.
"Haw dare you?" she gasped. "What
will your wife think when I tell her?
"What about the Indian glrir aha
continued, for the man looked pus
sled. "Indian girl? Oh, you mean the
one I found and took to the mission.
Why, d:ar, she Is only eleven."
Leona gave a gasp of happiness, and
Long John, crawling to his feet, onca
more saw Leona in Jean'a arms, but
this tlma she went of her own accord.
