Long after the others in the camp had sunk into the profound slumber of weary bodies and good oonseleaoem. a solitary candle in the small teat o0 espied by Enid Maitland alone gave evidence that she was busy over the litters which Kirkby had handed to her. It was • very thoughtful girt la- dled who confronted the old trontlers• man tie next moaning. At the first eaavenlent opportunity wben they wars alone together the handed him the packet of letters. "Have you reed 'ern?" be asked. "Yes." "Wall, you keep 'em." said the old* man gravely. "Hebb* you'll want to road 'em Agin.' "Hot I don't understand why you want me to have them." "Wall. I'm not quite sure myself why, but leastways 1 do an'—" "I shall be very glad to keep them," said the girl still more gravely, stip-; ping them into one of the pockets of! her hunting shirt as she spoke. The packet was not bulky, the let- tere were not many nor were they of! OW great length. She could easily: carry them on her person and in. some strange and unezpllcabte way' aha was rather glad to have them. She could not, as she had said, see any personal application to herself !n then:, and yet to some way the slid feel that the solution, of the mystery, would be hers some day. Especially did she think this on account of the' strange but quiet open emphasis of the old hunter. There was much to do about the' camp in the morning. Horses •ane burros to be looked after, flre wood to be cut, plans for the day arranged, excursions laid out, mountain climbs projected. Later on unwonted Lauds must be taught to cast the fly for.tbe mountain trout which tilled the brook and pool, and all the varied duties, de- tails and fascinating possibilities of camp lite must bo explained to the newcomers. The flrat few days were days or earning and preparatlo,1. days of mis- hap and misadventure, of joyous laughter over blunders in getting set- tled, or learning the mystertes of rod and line, or becoming hardened and acclimated. The weather proved per- fect; tt we, laic October and the nights were very cold, but there was no rain and the bright sunny days were Invigorating and exhilarating to the last degree.

She was a good spor!t- woman and she soon learned to throw 1 a fly with the best of them. Old Klrk• by took her under his especial pro• tection and as he was one of the best I rods in the mountains, she had every advantage. She rhad always lived In the midst Of life. Except in the privacy of he; own chamber she had rarely eve:- been ve.been alone before—not twenty feet from a man, she thought whimsically, but here the charm of solitude at- tracted he,, she liked to take her roc and wander of alone. She actuall . enjoyed it. The main utr cam that flcc•cd down the canon was fed by many affluent - from the mountain aides, and In earn' of them voracious trout appeared She explored them as she had opportunity, sometimes with the others, but more often by herself. She discovered charming and exquisite nooks, little stretches of grass, the size perhaps of a small room. flower decked. fern!. bordered. overshadowed by tall alar. pine trees, the sunlight flltertnr through their thin foliage, cheekerinl, the verdant carpet beneath.

There was little danger to be rppr:c bended in the daytime among to mountains, the more experienced tree thought, still it was wise for the ;;1. always to have a weapon in reach': so to her journeying,, either the Wit cheater was slung from her alundde; or carried In her hand, or else the Coit dangled at her tap. .1t first she too! both, but "ally It was with rete tance that she could be persuaded tc take either. Nothing had ever knit pend. Save for a few birds now g:li then she had seemed the only rein;:t of the wilderness of her choice. One night after a eamilug exp.•rl- ence of nearly two weeks In the niece - tains and just before the time tor breaking up and going back to clyil- Izatlon, she announced that early the $ext morning she was going down the canon for a day's fishing excursion. None of the- party had ever lot - towed the little river very far, but It was known that some ten miles below. the stream merged In a lovely gem- like lake in a sort of crater In thn 'mountains. From thence by a series of water falls It descended througa the foothills to the distant platter be- yond. The others had arrameed tt climb one especially dangerous an(. ambition provoking peak which tow - stud above them and which had neve: 'before been surmounted so tar as they knew. Enid enjoyed mountain climbing. She liked the uplift In feel- ing that came from going higher and higher till some crest was gained, but on this occasion they urged her to ac- company them in vain. When the fixity of her decision was established she had a number of offers to accompany her. but declined them all, bidding the others go their way. Mrs Maitland, who was not feeling , very well, old e. Kirkby, who had climbed too many mountains to [eel I much interest in that game, and Pete • the horse wrangler, who had to took atter the stock. remained In camp; the others with the exception of Enid started at daybreak for their long aa- oent. She waited until the sun was about an hour high and then bade good-bye to the three and began the ,descent of the canon.

She scanned her circum - earthed eared limited horizon eagerly for the smoke from the great fire that they always kept burning in the camp, but not a sign of it was visible. She was evidently a thousand feet above the es' river whence she had, [roma. Her standing ground was a rocky ridge which tell away more gently on the other aide for perhaps two hundred feet toward the same brook. She could see through vistas In the trees the uptosaed peaks of the main range., bare, chaotic, snow crowned, lonely.; majestic, terHble. • The awe of the everlasting hills Is greater than that of heaving seas.; Save in the infrequent periods of caldni the latter always moves; the moun- tains are the same for all time.
