• "That's what be dose." saswered
eM Ktrkby.
"Poor man." murmured fhitd.
"But why?" asked Ph1Ups.
"They were Ave days away from •
settlement, there wasn't • human be -
,tag wltbtn a hundred end fifty miles
of them, not even an Indian," contin-
ued Maitland "She was so frightfully
broken and mangled that he couldn't
!carry her away...
"But why couldn't he leave her and
'go for help''" asked Bradshaw.
1 'The woivea, the bears. or the vul-
ltures would have goC her. These
woods and mountains were full of
.1tlhem then and there are some of them
}Mit now I guess."
The two little girls crept closer to
their big cousin, each casting anxious
'glances beyond the fire light.
'Oh, you're all rlgbt, little gals,'
'staid Kirkby reassuringly, "they
'wouldn't come nigh us while this fire
I11t burnln' an'- they 've been pretty
well hunted out 1 guess; 'sides there's
m U yore who'd like nothln' better'n
ldrawtn' a bead on a big b'ar."
"And so,' continued Maitland, "when
bagged him to shoot her, to put
out of her misery, he did so and
then he started back to the settlement
'to tell his story and stumbled on us
'looking atter him."
"What happened then!"
"I went back to the camp," said
lMaltland We loaded Newbold on a
Iambi aad took him with us; he waa
111so crazy he didn't know what was
ppening; he went over the shooting
,again and again in his delirium. It
;was awful."
I "Did he die'"
al don't think so," was the answer.
t really I know nothing further
about him. There were some good
'women in that camp; we put him in
'their hands and 1 left shortly after
wards."
"I kin tell the rest," said old Kirk-
by. "Knowtn' more about the moun-
ltalna than most people hereabouts I
,led the men that didn't go back with
Bob an' Newbold to the place were
'fie said his woman fell, an' there we
found her, her body leaetways."
"But the wolves!" queried the girl.
"He'd drug her into a kind ' of a
holler and plied rocks over her. He'd
gone down into the canon, w'fch was
Isomething frightful, an' then climbed
up to w'ere she'd -lodged. We had
plenty of rope, Navin' brought it along
a purpose, an' we let ourselves down
to the shelf where she was a lyin'.
We wrapped her body up in blankets
an' roped it an' Anally drug her up
.on the old Injun trail, leastways I sup -

Injuna, an' brought her back to Ever-

"Is that all!" asked Enid as Um Old
*man paused again..'
Nope.'
"Oh, the ratan'" exclaimed the wom-
an with quick intuition.
"He recovered his senses so they
'to!d us, an' ween we got back he'd
gone'
"Where'" was the 'natant question.
Old' Kirkby stretched out his hands.
"Don't ex me," he said, "he'd jest
gone. I ain't never seed or heerd of
him sense. Poor little Louise Rosser.
she did have a hard time."
"'Yes," said Enld, "but I think the
man bad a harder time than she. He
loved her'"
"It looked like it." answered Kirkby.
"U you had leen him, his remorse.
his anguish, his horror," said Malt,
land. -'you wouldn't have had any
doubt ahout it. But it Is getting late.
In the moun'alns everybody gets up
at daybreak Your sleeping bags are
in the tents, ladles; time to go to
bed " -
I As the party broke up, old Kirkby
rose slowly to his feet;,: he looked
meaniggiy toward the young woman,,
upon whom the spell of the tragedy
still lingered. he nodded toward the'
young brook. and then repeated his
speaking glance at her. His meaning:
was patent, although no one else had
seen the covert Invitation.
"Come Kirkby," said the girl in;
quick response, "you shall be my eel
oort I want a drink b.fore I turn in..
No. never mind." she said, as Brad-
shaw and Philips both volunteered.
"dot this time."
The old frontiersman and the young
girl strolled off together They stop•;
ped by the brink of the rushing for -1
rent a few yards away. The noise'
that it made drowned the low tones of
their voices and kept the others, busy
preparing to retire, from hearing what
they said.
'That ain't quite all the story, Miss
Enid," said the old trapper meaningly.
"There was another man."
"What!" exclaimed the girl.
"Oh, there wasn't nothla' wrong
with Louise Rower, w'Ich she was
Louise Newbold- but there was an-
etaer man; I suspected it afore, that's
Why she was sad. W ea we found her

"I dost understand."

PEACE A PROBABILITY"
Bid Both Turks and Balkan Allies
Profess to be Standing Pat
Both the Turks an- d the Balkan al-
lies are standing by their guns ou the
peace terms. Both declare that 1t
is Impossible to recede from their
posItlon.a Nevertheless, those .who
Ihink they know what is going on
ballad the scenes still believe that
the probabilities of the conclusion of
Mce are greater than of the resump-
tion of the conflict.
Conditions imposed by the allies at
one of last week's sessions were:—
First—The cession by Turkey of all
the territory west of a line starting
tlom a point east of Rodoato, on the
Sea of Marmora, to a point In the Hay
of Malatra, on the Black Sea, and ea -
eluding the peninsula of Gallipoli.
Albaah's status to be decided by the
powers.
Second—The cession of the Aegean
islands. occupied by the Greek forces
in the present war and by the Italians
in the recent war.
Third --The cession to Greece of all
Turkish rights in the Island of Crete.,!
The allies did not reveal the finan-
cial proposals w titch they will make
to Turkey. 1 eserving them for a future
meeting.
The Turkish delegates to the peace
conference on Saturday submitted
counter -proposals which did not take
into consideration the territorial
claims of the allies. Moreover a
semtomcial note was lashed at the
conclusion of a Ministerial Oousetl al
Constantinople, announcing that freak
instructions had been sent to LOWY*
to the effect that "while the Poste
1s animated by a conciliatory tphyt
and is desirous of a successful oos-
cluslon of the negotiations, It can
under no circumstances consent to the ,
cession of Adrianople."
it is stated on good authority, how-
ever, that the Turkish delegates will
