The water of course was very cold. but she had been accustomed all her Itfe to taking a bath at the natural temperature of the water at whatever sas eon. She knew that the only peo- ple in that wilderness were the mem- bers of her own party, three of them were at the camp below; the others were ascending a mountain guiles away. The canon was deep sunk, and she catlsfled herself by careful obser- vation that the pool was not over- looked by any elevations far or near. Her ablutions In common with those of the rest of the campers had been by piecemeal of necessity Here was an opportu-ilty for a plunge in a natural bath tub.

She was wearing a stout sweater; that, too, joined the rest- Nervons hands manipulated buttons and the fastenings. in a few moments the sweet figure of youth, of beauty. of purity and of Innocence brightened the sod and shed a white luster upon the green of the grass and moss and pines, reflecting light to the gray brown rocks of the range. So Eve may have trotted on some bright Eden morning. A few steps forward and this nymph of the woods, this naiad of the mountains, plunged Into clear. coed waters of the pool—a water sprite and her fountain! CHAPTER V. The Bear, the Man and the Flood. The water . w ns deep enough to re- ceive her dive and the pool was long ecough to enable her to swim a few strokes. The first chill of the icy wa- r was soon lost in the vigorous me to which she indulged. but no more human form, however hardy sad 'snared, could long endure that frigid ta bath. Reluctantly, yet with the owl - edge that she must go, after one more sweeping dive and • few magnlflcent strokes. she ranted her head from the water lapping her white shoulder, and shaking her face clear from the drops of crystal, faced the shore. It was no longer untenanted. she was no longer alone. What she saw startled and alarmed her beyond measure.

The rust of the current as it awirlen about her caused her to sway gently, otherwise she stood motionless ant: apprehensive, awfully expectant. She had made no sound, and save for that low growl the great beast had been equally silent. ,There was au awful fixity In the gaze she turned upon hl -n and be wavered under it. It annoyed him, It bespoke a little of the dom- lnanre of the human. But she war. too surprised, too unnerved, too des perately frightened to put forth the frill power of mind over matter. There was piteous appeal in her gaze. The bear realized this and mastered het sufficiently. She did not know whether she war. In ;he water or In the air: there were but two points upon wbtcb her core miouaness was focussed In the vast eQlp•e d her imagination. Another moment or two and all coherency of thought would be gone.

Scarcely had a minute elapsed in which all this happened. That huge .threatening heave of the great bod' toward her relieved the tension. She found voice at last. Although it was absolutely futile, she realized [She !cried. her released lips trainee the loud appeal. "Help' fof God's sake." Although she knew she cried but to the bleak walls of the canon, the drooping pines, the rushing river, the distant heaven, the appeal went forth accompadtea by the mightiest con - juration known to mac. "for God's sake, help!" How dare poor humanity so plead, the doubter cries. What is it to God if one suffers, another bleeds, another dies? What answer could game out of that silent sky!
