"Something like death must have stared h:;n in the face."

The touch of her lips to Ids. the close c!asr of her strong arms were of ever greater convincing qua Ity. And yet he wished the revelation had come in Borne "thcr wny. Ills pride was abrad ed.

"1 reckou you're right." she said. "I'll go see if he is awake." He followed her to the door of the tent, apprehending something new and inexplicable ir her attitude.

A llliie uiier, m u .uu lauju to make report, she was not very gra cious in her manner. "He's pretty bad ly hurt." he said. "There's an ugly gash in his scalp, nnd the shock has produced a good deal of pain and con fusion in his head, but he's going to be all right in a day or two. For a man seeking rest and recuperation he cer tainly has had a rough run of weath er." Through a serious minded, honorable forester, deterinfued to keep sternly in mind that he was in the presence of the daughter of his chief, and that she was engaged to marry another. Nirsb was. alter all. a man. and the witchery of the hour, the charm of the girl's graceful tip nre. asserted their power over him. His eyes grew tender, and his voice eloquent in spite of himself Ills words he could guard, but it was i hard to keep from his speech the song of the lover. The thought that he was to camp in her company, to help her about the tire, to see her from moment to moment, with lu'l liberty to speau ( to her. to meet her glance, pleased him. , It was the most romantic and moving j episode in his life, and though of a I rather dry nnd analytic temperament I he had a sense of poesy. The night, black, oppressive and si lent, brought a closer bond of mutual help and understanding between them She grew friendlier and asked him about his work and especially about his ambitions and plans for the future. They discussed the forest and its en emies. and he wondered at tier free dom in sjveaklng of the mill and saloon He said: "Of course you know that Alec i.eiden is a partner in that busi- mss. and i ni to.i ! course i don i know this that Clifford i'.elden is also interested. " She offered no defense of yours F-el ' den. and this unconcern pnzzied tiim He had expected indignant protest, but she merely replied: "I don't care who owns it. It should le rooted out. 1 hate that kind of thing. It's Just an other way of robbing those poor tie jacks." "Cliffoia should pet out of it. Can't you penfiiade him to do so?" "1 don't think I can." "His relationship to you" "H is not related to me." Hr tone amazed him. "You kno wh;it I mean." "'if course I do, but you're mistaken. We're not related that way any longer." This silenced him for a few in unts. then he said: "I'm ruther giad vf that. He isn't anything like the iuu you thought he was I couldn't ,say these things before but he is as greedy as Alec, only not so open about it." AH this comment, which moved the loie.ster so deeply to utter, seemed not to interest Uerea. She sat staring at the tire with the calm brow of an In tiian. Clifford Delden had passed out of her life as completely as he had vauished out of the landscape. She felt an immense relief at being rid of him and resented his being brought back eveu as a subject of conversation Wayland. listening, fancied he under stood her desire and said nothing that miuht arouse Nush's curiosity. Nash on his part, knowing that she had broken, with Helden. began to tin derstand the tenderness, the anxious care of her face and voice, as she bent above young Norcross. As the night deepened and the cold air stung, he asked. "Have you plenty of blankets for a bed?" "Oh. yes." she answered, "but I don't intend to sleep." "Oh. you must!" he declared. "Go to bed. 1 will keep the, tire going." At last she consented. "1 will make my bed right here at the mouth of the tent close to the fire." she said, "and you can call me if you need me." "Why not put your bed in the tent? It's going to be cold up here." "1 am all right outside." she pro tested. "Put your bed inside. Miss Berrie. We can't, let conventions count. abovt timber line. I shall rest better "ir I know you are properly sheltered." And so it happened that for the. third time she shared the same roof -with Dt.r lover. P.ut the nurse was upper most in her now. Nash as the first to arise in th I dusk of dawn, and Berrie.. awakened j by the crackle of ui tire. oou joined : i. . . him. ; i i you'll round up our terser, I-r Nas!i" L'll- rustle breakfast auC -.i". pet going." she said. Nash, enthralled, lingered while sii tw isted her hnir into place, then weii' out to I. ring in the ponies. Wayland came out a little uncertain ly, but looking v?ry well. "1 think I shall discourage my friends from coin lnp to this region for their uee.lth." la said ruefully. "If 1 were a novelist now all this would be grist for mj mill." ISeueath bis joking he was profound Iy chagrined. He had hoped by thh time to be as sinewy, as alert as Nash instead of which here he sat. shiverini. over the fire like a sick girl, his heac swollen, his blood sluggish, but thi discouragement only increased BereaV tenderness a tenderness which ineltec all his reserve. "I'm not worth all your care." he said to her. with poignant glance. The sun rose clear and warm, and the tire, the coffee, put new courngt Into him as well as into the others and while the morning was yet earlj and the forest chill and damp with rain, the surveyor brought up tin borses and startiil packing the outfit. In this I.errie again took part, doim: her half of the work quite as dextrous ly as Nash himself. Indeed, the for ester was noticeably confused and not quite up to his usual level of adroit eae. At last both packs were on. and n they stood together for a moment Nash said: "This has been a great experience one 1 shall remember as long as I live." She stirred uneasily under his frank admiration. "I'm mightily obliged to you." she replied, as heartily as she could command. "Don't thank me. I'm indebted to ro'.i. There is so little in my life ot ...., companionship as you and Nor r -c-j giro n:e." Tz '.tc'pod Norcross mount his tiorse. Z -y. he put the lead rope into P.er -':.-: l-.ard he said, with much feeling: '(':;:! luck to yon. I shall remembet this nlht all the rest of my life. Miss " ."

"Hut 1 guess it s tettei for me to lay off a week or two and recover my tone." And so they tai ted. the surveyor rid ing his determined way up the naked mountain ido toward the clouds, while P.errie and her ward plunged sit once into the dark and dripping forest he low. "If you can stand the grief." she said, "we'll go clear through." Her camion was all for him. Sht tried each dangerous slough first and thus was able to jidvie him which way was safest. His head throbbed with pain and his kuees were weary, but he rode on. At last they came into open ground oti a high ride and were gladdened by the valley outspread below them, for it was still radiant with color, though not as brilliant as before the rain. At 1 o'clock on the bank of a clear stream the girl halted. "I reckon we'd letter camp awhile. You look tired, and 1 am hungry." She unsaddled one pack animal and spread some blankets on the grass "Lie down and. rest while I boil some coffee," she commanded, and he obey ed, too tired to make pretension toward assisting. Lying so, feeling the magic of the sun. hearing the music of the water and watching the girl, he regained a serener mood, and when she came hack with his food he thanked her for it with a glance before which her eyes fell. I don't see why yon are so kind to me. I really believe you like to do things for me." Her head drooped to hide her face, and he went on: "Why do you care for me? Tell me:" "I don't know." she murmured. Theu she added, with n flash of braverv. "But I do." - - ".; "What a mystery It all is! Tim ujrfa from a splendid fellow like Landon to tt 'skate' like me. Latidoti worships yon you know that don't you?" "I know he" she ended, vaguely distressed. .' 1 "Did he nsk you to marry him?" "Yes."' . - "Why didn't you? He's jat the tpate tor you. .He's a man. of high fnaracrter nnZJ education." She ma7e no answer to this, nnd he went on: "Dear girl. I'm not wcr!- eare truly. I'm not. 1 resented your en pagement to Belden. for he was a brute, but I.andou is dlffeivut. lie thinks the world of yon. ne'll go high in the service. I've never done any thing In the world I never shall. Tt will be better for you if I go tomor row." She took ids hand and pressed it to her cheek, then, putting her arm about hrs neck, drew hinf to her bosom and kissed him passionately. "You break my heart when you talk like that." sh protested. with tears. "Yon mustn't say stich gloomy things I won't let you give up. You shall come rlzht home with me. nnd 1 will nurse yoo till you are well, it was nil my fault " "I will not have It go that way." In said. "I've brought you only. care an ! unhnpplness thus far. I'm an alleu my ways are not your ways." T can change." she sinswered. "T bate my ways, nnd I like yours." As they argued she feit no shame nnd be voiced no resent metit. She kner his mood. She understood hi doubt, his depression. She plended a a man might have done, ready to prove her love, eager to restore hi self respect, while he remained both bitter and sadiy contemptuous. A cow hand riding up the trail greet ed Berrie respectfully, but a cynical smile broke out on his lips as he pass ed on. Another witness; another pos sip. She did not care. She had no fur ther concern of the valley's comment, ner life's happiness hung on the droop ing eyelashes of this wounded boy. an.l to win him back to cheerful acceptance of life was her only concern. "I've never htid any motives." he confessed. "I've always done what pleased me at the moment or because it was easier to do as others were do ing. I went to college that way. Truth is. I never had any surplus vi tality, and my father never demanded anything of me. 1 haven't any mo tives now. A few days ago I was in terested in forestry. At this time it all seems futile. What's the use of my trying to live?" (To Be Continued.) ELMER FITCKKORN KICKED BY A HORSE; m BGNES BROKEN Elmer, the 9-year-o!d son of Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Fitchhorn, residing: a few miles south of this city, yesterday met with a very painful accident and which, for a short time, put him down and out. The boy was playinp near the watering trough where a number of the animals were drinking, and came too near the business end of one of them and was kicked in the right jaw, which put the younp man down and out, and for a time it was feared that his injuries mipht be most serious and medical assistance was summoned, and the injured face dressed, but fortunately the kick did not result in the breaking: of any bones and the younpr man will be him self in a short time.
