Neitner was composed of that poor fiber which bends. "Very well, my young lady," he said, easily, stretching himself out more comfortably in the rock shadow. "Then I will remain here with you; it makes small odds." Excepting for one hasty, puzzled glance, she did not deign to look again toward him, and the man rested mo tionless upon his back, staring up at the sky. Finally, curiosity overmas tered the actor in him, and he turned partially upon one side, so as to bring her profile within his range of vision. Her dark, glowing eyes were lowered upon the white face of the dead man, yet Hampton noted how clear, in spite of sun-tan, were those tints of health upon the rounded cheek, and how soft and glossy shone her wealth of rum pled hair. Even the tinge of color, so distasteful in .the full glare of the sun, appeared to have darkened under the shadow, its shade framing the downcast face Into a pensive fairness. Then he observed how dry and parched her lips were. "Take a drink of this," he Insisted heartily, holding out toward her as he spoke his partially filled canteen. She started at the unexpected sound of his voice, yet uplifted the welcome water to her mouth, while Hampton, observing it all closely, could but re mark the delicate shapeliness of her hand. "If that old fellow was her father," he reflected soberly, "I should like to have seen her mother." "Thank you," she said simply, hand ing back the canteen, but without lift ing her eyes again to his face. "I was so thirsty." Her low tone, endeavor ing to be polite enough, contained no note of encouragement. "Was Glllis your father?" the man questioned, determined to make her recognize his presence. "I suppose so; I don't know." "You don't know? Am I to under stand you are actually uncertain whether this man was your father or not?" "That is about what I said, wasn't It? Not that it Is any of your busi ness, so far as I know, Mr. Bob Hamp ton, but I answered you all right.

So you can under stand Just what you please." "His name was Glllis, wasn't it?" The girl nodded wearily. "Post-trader at Fort Bethune?" Again the rumpled head silently ac quiesced. "What Is your name?" "He always called me 'kid,'" she admitted unwillingly, "but I reckon if you have any further occasion for ad dressing me, you'd better say 'Miss Glllis.' " "Heaven preserve me!" he ex claimed good naturedly, "but you are certainly laying it on thick, young lady! However, I believe we might become good friends if we ever have sufficient luck to get out from this hole alive. Darn if I don't sort of cot ton to you, little girl you've got some sand." For a brief space her truthful, angry eyes rested scornfully upon his face, her lips parted as though trembling with a sharp retort. Then she delib erately turned her back upon him without uttering a word. For what may have been the first and only occasion in Mr. Hampton's audacious career, he realized his utter helplessness.

Mr. Hampton was a thorough-going sport, and no quality was quite so apt to appeal to him as dead gameness. He glanced surreptitiously aside at her once more, but there was no sign of relenting in the averted face. He rested lower against the rock, his face upturned toward the sky. and though. It was no spirit of bravado that gave rise to his reckless speech of aa hour previous. It was simply a spontaneous outpouring of his real nature, an un premeditated expression of that su preme carelessness with which he re garded the future, the small value ha set on life. He truly felt as utterly In different toward fate as his words signified. Deeply conscious of a life long ago Irretrievably wrecked, every thing behind a chaos, everything be fore worthless, for years he had been actually seeking death; a hundred! times he had gladly marked its ap parent approach, a smile of welcome, upon his lips.
