of buck, with the IobkIiiks and inocca

"I nee, miidaiti," mild l.BinilliiR, "that

this wild country! How unfit hero am
t, a Biivngu, wlio Intioduce tho otio

I gcHturcd to my costume, gestured
about mo as I took In the details of
(ho long room in which we stool. I
Bwear it was tho same as that in
which I bud MH'ii her at a similar
hour In Montreal! It was tho same I

Impossible? I am doubted? Ah,
but do 1 not know? Old I not sco?
Hero wero tho pictures on tho walls,
Hie carved Cupids, tho cnndelnbra
with their prisms, the chairs, tho
foiichca! Uoyond yonder untiii cur
tains roso the high canopy of the em
broldery-coveird couch, Its Hinged
drapery reaching almost to the deep
pllo of the carpets.
Yet not ipilto the same, it seemed
to mo Thcto wero .some lit tin things
missing, just as there wore sonio little
things misting from her appearance,
l-'or instance, these draperies at tho
right, which formerly bad cut off the
Napoleon bed at its end of tho room,
now wero of blankets and not of silk.
The bed Itself was not piled deep In
down, but contained, as I fancied from
my hurried glance, a thin matticss,
stuffed perhaps with straw. A roll of
blankots lay across its foot. As 1
gazed to tho farther extremity of this
sldo of tho long suite, I saw other evi
dences of change. It was Indeed m
though Helena von llltz, crenture of
luxury, woman of nn old, luxir u
world, oxntlc of monarchical sun omul
lugs, bnd begun insensibly to slip Into
tho ways of the rude democracy of tho
far frontiers.
I saw all thin; but ero I bad finished
my first hurried glnnco 1 had accepted
her. as nlwas ono must, Just as she
ns.
"Yes," snld sho at longth, nlowly,
"yes. I now bollnvo it to T;o fato."
alio bad not yet smiled. I took her
hand and bold It long. I felt glnd to
see her, and to take her hand; It
seemed pledge of friendship; and as
things now wero shaping. I surely
needed a friend.
At last, her l'aco Hushing slightly,
she disougaged hor hand and motioned
mo to a seat. Hut still wo stood silent
for a fuw moments. "Have you no
curiosity?" snid sho at length.
"I am too happy to luivo curiosity,
my dear madam."
"You will not even ask me why I
run here?" sho Insisted.
"I know. I linvo known all along.
You tiro in tho pay of lCngland. When
I mlshcd you at Montronl, 1 knew you
had nailed on tlio Modesto for Ore
gon. Wo know all this, and plnnned

She looked mo now clearly "in the
face. "I am not sure," said sho nt
length, slowly.
"Not suro of what, madam? When

you travel on Ungland's warship," I
smiled, "you travel as tho guest ol
Kngland herself. If, then, you aro
not for llngland, In God's name, whoso
friend are you?"
"Whoso friend am 1?" she answered
slowly. "1 say to you that I do not
know. Nor do I know who Is my
friend. A friend what Is that? I
never knew ono!"
"Then bo mine. Lot me bo your
friend. You know my history. You
know about mo and my work. 1 throw
my secret Into your bands. You will
not betray mo? You warned mo once,
nt Montreal. Will you not shield mo
once again. Como, can you betrny a
people of whom you can say so
much?
"Ah, now you would try to tempt
mo from a trust which has been re
posed In mo!"
"Not In the least. I would not lmvo
you break your word with Mr. Paken
ham; but 1 know you aro here on tho
same errand as myself. You aio to
lenrn facts and report them to Mr.
Pakenham as 1 am to Mr. Calhoun.
Meantime, you havo not reported?"
"No, 1 am not yet ready."
"Certainly not. You aro not yet
possessed of your facts. You havo not
yet seen this country. You do not yet
know thtse men the same savages
who onco accounted for another l'a
kcnhnin at New Orleanshardy as
buffaloes, fierce as wolves. Walt and
see them como pouting across the
mountains Into Oregon. Then niako
your report to this l'akenhani. Ask
bint if England wishes to light our
backwoodKitH'ii onco more!"
"You credit me with very much
ability!" she smiled.
She dropped Into a chair near by a
little table, where the light of tho tall
candles, guttering In their enameled
sconces, tell full upon her face. Sho
looked at mo Ilxedly, her eyes dark
and mournful In splto of their eagerness.
"Ah, It Is easy for you to speak,
easy for you who have so rich and full
a life who havo all! Hut 1 my hands
aro empty!" Sho spread out her
curved lingers, looking at them,
dropping her hands, pathetically
drooping hor shoulders.
"All, madam? What do you mean?
You see mo almost in rags. Uoyond
tho rlllo nt my cabin, tlio pistol at my
tent, 1 havo hcarco more In wealth
than what 1 wear, whllo you lmvo
what you llko."
"All but everything!" sho mur
mured; "all but homo!"
"Nor havo 1 a home."
"All, except that my couch Is empty
savo for myself and my memories!"
"Not moro thnn mine, nor with sad
dor memories, madam."
"Why, what do you mean?" sho
asked mo suddenly. "Whut do ou
mean?" Sho repeated It again, as
though half lu horror.
"Only that wo aro cciual and allko.
That wo aro hero on tho samo errand.
That our vlow of llfo should bo tho
samo."
"What do you tuoan nbout homo?
But toll mo, woro you not thon mar
ried?" "No, 1 am alono, madam. I nover
shall bo married."
Tuero may havo been Bomo Blight
motion of a hnnd which beckoned mo
to a seat nt tho opposite sldo of tho
table. As 1 sat, I saw her search my
faco carefully, slowly, with eyos I
could not read. At last sho spoke, aft
er her frequent fashion, half to her
self.
"It succeeded, then!" said sho. "Yet
I am not huppy! Yet I havo failed!"
"I pause, madam," said I, smiling.
"I await your pleasure."
"Ah, God! Ah, God!" she sighed.
"What have I dono?" Sho staggered
to her feet and stood boating her
hands together, as wus her way when
perturbed. "What havo 1 dono!"
"Threlka!" I heard her call, half
chokingly. The old servant camo hur
riedly. "Wine, ten, anything. Threlka!" Sho
dropped down again opposite me,
panting, and looking nt mo with wide
eyes.
"Tell me, do you know what you
have said?" sho began.
"No. niiidain. I grieve if I have
caused you any pain."
"Well, then you are noble; when
look, what pain I have caused jou!
Yet not more than myself. No. not so
much. I hope not so much!"
Truly there Is thought which passes
from mind to mind. Suddenly tho
thing lu her mind sped across to
mine. I looked nt her suddenly, In
my eyes also, pel haps, the horror
which I felt.
"It was you!" 1 exclaimed "It was
you! Ah, now I begin to understand!
How could you? You patted us! You
parted me-from Kllzabotli!"
"Yen," she said ngietfully, "1 did
It. It was my fault."
I rose and drew apart from her, un
able to spi uk. Sho went on.
"Hut I was not then ns I am now.
See, 1 was embittered, reckless, des
perate. 1 wns only beginning to
think 1 only wnntod time. I did not
really mean to do all this. I only
thought Why. I had not yet known
you a day nor lit r an hour. Twas all
no more than half a Jest."
"How could you do it?" 1 demanded.
"Yet that Is no more strange. How
did you do it?"
"At tho door, that llrst night. 1
was mad then over tho wrong dono to
what llttlo womanhood 1 could claim
for my own. 1 bated Yturrlo. I hated
Pakonhnni. They had both Insulted
me. 1 hated overy man. 1 had seen
nothing but tho bitter and desperate
aide of life I was eagtr to take to
venge even upon tho innocent ones of
this world, seeing that 1 had suffered
so much. I had an old grudgo against
women, ngalnst women, 1 say against
women!"
Sho burled her faco In her hands. I
saw hor eyes no moro till Thnika
camo and lifted her head, offering hor
a cup of drink, and 80 Btnndlng pa
tiently until again sho had dismissal.
"nut still It is nil a puzzlo to mo,
madam," J began. "I do not under
fatnnd." "Well, when you stood at tho door,
my llttlo shoo In your pocket, when
you kissed my baud that tlrst night,
when you told mo what you would do
did you lovo a woman when I saw
something now In llfo 1 bad not seen
why, then, In tho i'ovU'u resolution
that no woman in the world should ho
happy If I could hell), I slipped In the
body of the slipper u llttlo lino or so
that I had written when you dlJ not
boo, when 1 wns In the other room.
'Twas that took the place of Van
Xnndt's message, after all. Monsieur,
It was fate. Van Znndt's letter, with
out plnn, fell out on my table. Your
note, sent by plan, remained In tho
shoe!"
"And what did it say? Tell nic at
onco."
"Very little. Yet enough for a wom
an who loved unil who expected. Only
this: in splto of that other womnn,
come to me still. Who can teach you
love of woman as 1 can? Helena.' I
think it was somo such words as
those."
"I had not thought any one capable
of that," said I.
"Ah, but 1 repented on the instant!
I repented before night camo. In tho
twilight 1 got upon my knees and
prayed that all my plan might go
wrong if I could call It plan."
Hut again 1 could only turn away
to ponder.
"See," sho went on; "for myself,
this is irremediable, but it is not so
for you, nor for her. It Is not too
111 to ho made right again. There lu
Montreal, I thought that I bud failed
In my plan, that you Indeed wero mar
ried. You held yourself well in hand;
llko a man, monsieur. Hut ns to that,
you wero married, for your love for
her remained; your pledge held. And
did not 1, repenting, marry you to her
did not I,on my knees, marry you to
her that night? Oh, do not blanio mo
too much!"
"Sho should not have doubted," suld
I. "I shall not go back and ask her
again. Tho weakest of men are strong
soinctimes!"
"Ah, now you aro but n man! He
Ing such, you cannot understand how
terribly much the faith of man means
for a woman. It was her need for you
that spoke, not her doubt of you.
Forgive her. Sho was not to blame.
Hlame mo! Do wlmt you llko to pun
ish mo! Now, I shall make amends.
Tell mo what 1 best may do. Shall 1
go to her, Bhnll I tell hor."
"Not as my messenger. Not for
mo."
"No? Well, then, for myself? That
is my right. 1 shall tell hor how i
priestly faithful a man you wero. j
Come," she said, "I will bargain with
you, after all!"
"Any bargain you like, madam."
"And I will keep my bargain. You
know that I will."
"Yes, 1 know that."
"Very well, then. I am going back
to Washington."
"How do you mean?"
"By land, across the country; tho
wny you camo."
"You do not know what you say,
inadnm. The Journey you suggest is
incredible, impossible."
"That matters nothing. I am go
ing. And I nm going alone No, you
cannot como with me. Do you think
I would risk more thnn 1 havo risked?
I go alone. 1 am Kngland's spy; yes,
that Is true. I am to report to Kng
land: yes. that Is true. Therefore, the
more I see, the more I bhnll havo to
report. Besides, I havo something
else to do."
"But would Mr. l'akenhani listen to
your report, after all'."'
Now sho hesitated lor a moment. "1
enn Induce him to liston," bIio said.
"That is part of my errand. First, bo
foro 1 seo Mr. l'akenhani I am going
to seb Miss Kll.nboth Churchill. 1
shall repoit also to her. Then I shall
lmvo done my duty. Is It not so?"
"You could do no more," said I.
"Hut what bargain"
"Listen. If she uses mo 111 nnd will
not believe either you or me then,
being a woman, I shall hate her; and
In that case 1 shall go to Sir Uichard
for my own revenge. I shall toll hlni
to bring on this war. In that case,
Oregon will be lost to you, or at least
bought dear by blood and treasure."
"We will attend to that, lnndain,"
said 1 grimly, and I smiled at hor, al
though a sudden fear caught at my
heart. I knew what damage sho was
In position to accomplish If sho liked.
My heart stood still. I felt tno mini
sweat again on my torehead.

Drawing from tho Senses.
Sense picturing Is the latest devel
opment in tho training of tho young
Idea how to draw, nnd It Is certainly
a great aid to accurate visualization.
Tnsto picturing Is perhaps the most
popular, because It involves sweet
meats or friitl. Smell picturing some
tlmcB lends to curious results, aa
when a bunch of violets wns held to
tho nose of n child and touched It. His
sense of touch wius stronger than his
sense of smell, and ho Immediately
drew a bird, taking the ilowers for
feathers. Sound picturing is also very
deceptive, and It Ib astonishing how
many people (It may uo pracuseu uy
grown-ups as well as youngsters) will
mlstnko a plane Tor n saw. Touch
picturing Ib especially dlillcult, and
hero tho child who has had a llttlo
training In this kind of drawing will
often boat tho llulshed draftsman
