a matter of many weeks before that

looked into the distance where low •

At the "Lumbermen's • Rest" he

Towards Findlay he felt genuinely

he had been employed more as a

between has teeth and the other be-
tween his fingers; strumming upon it
by the hour vacuous of thought
as a small- puppy chewing upon a
stick—the mind of a child in the
body of a Hercules. To Stoddard's
relief they ignored his presence ab-
solutely; yet it was with satisfaction
that at the end hf the third hour he
stepped from the train at Archer and
cast his first glance over the hamlet.
Before him stood the company store
and office; a sawmill,, two long log
buildings where the mill employees
ate and •slept, a private log cottage or
two, a stable and nothing more, while
close about it hovered the green ranks
of the unbroken forest. Picking up
his telescopethetraveller entered the
little store.
A young woman about twenty years
of age stood behind the counter, and'
as Wilson first saw her he made an in-
voluntary movement as if about to
pause, then continued his advance with
much the, sante sensations , as though
he had, in traniping through the
brush and deadfalls of this sombre
woodland, suddenly chanced upon a
flower of exquisite lovilness and frag-
rance full-blown amidst the • snows.
Composite beauty 'was hers, combining
the fair soft skin ' of the northern
races with the dark masses of wavy
hair and unfathomable eyes of a
beauty of the far south. Yet Barbara
Findlay, despite the blended types,
was as purely. American an himself,
who traced his Yankee ancestors back
through the mists of five generations.
Of medium height arid more slenderly
made than otherwise, yet without the-
slighest suggestion of thinness, she
looked. at him with the quiet poise of
a well-bred woman of the cities as he
dropped his luggage and faced her
from across the narrow counter. She
aid not ask him. what he •wished as
a saleswoman would have done, and
Stoddard after a minute's pause to
ascertain if she was the one who was
to wait upon him,' finding her still
silent, addressed her.
"I wish to get a lumberman's out-
fit. Perhaps you ran tell me if' this
is the right place," he said, and paus-
ed. She swept him tip and dawn with
a quick glance that ' contained per
helps a bit of surprise at hearing a,
voice se well modulated coming from
one who dressed as a laborer, then
averted her face slightly as she an-
swered him.

and for an instant. he hesitated upon
the verge of retreat to • the: cleaner car
behind. But a squall muffled by dis- ,,
tance decided him, and with the resol- I

Wilson paid- his bill .. and rattled
what was left of his fortune in the
corner of his pocket. It amounted to
less than a dollar, but there would
be no necessity, barring the unfore-
seeable, for him to spend money dur-
ing the long winter now elese at hand.
And at the end of five months' work
and saving he should be able to emerge
from the woods with nearly one hun-
dred and fifty dollars in his pocket—
a sum just about egi§tivalent to what
he ,had been accustomed to spend
weekly in times gone by. A few days

•as drear as this would have been al-
most` unbearable, but with the inev-
itable =before -him .,,oddard. thrice
blessed• his lucky stars• that work
which would bring him an honest
livelihood awaited his untrained hands.
One thought of Grayford and all self -
commiseration instantly vanished.
Buried in reflections such as these he
stood motionless _ by the stove, his
eyes fastened upon the window, past
which great snowflakes were eddy-
ing like down plucked from beneath
the wings of a waterfowl.
The girl slipped easily from her
perch upon the stool to gather up p two
.bulky packages of groceries which -
the clerk had just finished wrapping
up for her, and taking one in each
hand she left the store with', a fare-
well nod to Ford but without having
glanced at Stoddard since the cainple-
tion of his purchases). Aroused from
his revery by her brisk departure he
looked after her through the pane.
A hill, steep and { heavily blanketed
with snow arose before 'her, accessible
only by an almost untrar pled! trail
that led to a well-built log cottage
near the summit. Stoddard, idly
watching her break her way through
snow that came half way to her knees,
saw her trip upon her skirt, and los-
ing' her balance by reason of her un-
wiedly packages, sit down upon one
of them with much suddenness. The
distance , was short between' her and
the store, and as she scrambled to her
feet and looked at the paper sack
upon which she had sat, the rueful.
ness of her face forced a smile to the
lips of the watcher. Plainly 'she was
in mild distress, . and without the
slightest hesitation he opened the door,
passed quickly to her side and picked
up the bag that had been beneath her.
A thick white .and yellowish ooze was
straining from the bottom of it, and
at this sight of the wreckage she had
caused the girl's frown vanished and
her laugh awoke; the laugh that had
seemed to sleep so lightly on her lips
and which the man had thought he
would like to hear.
"I shall never sit on eggs again. I
am not a success, she said. "And only
think! They are forty cents a dozen."
He shook his head gravely, dulyim-
pressed with the seriousness of the
situation as with a handful of snow
he sought to stay the sticky flow and
cleanse the bottom of the bag, while
she, . shaking her skirts and gathering
them about her shoe tops prepared to
continue the ascent. Stoddard peered
cautiously into the bag, "Twenty
cents gone there are only six, left.
Shall I run back to the store and get

in its metamorphosis." Even his tall,
well-built figure was smothered in
the flapping folds \ef the ill-fitting
garments, and he scowled back at the
now - scowling villain of the mirror
with deep- disfavor. His purpose had
been to,, make himself look as unlike
himself, as possible, and that he had
succeeded so well should have been a
matter of self-congratulation; yet he
could not help but wish that she had
seen him .as he had been a year be-
fore. With a sigh` of 'regret he turn-
ed to his purchases and began straight-
ening them out preparatory to getting
into them, telling himself that his
looks were even comelier. than he
would have hat them. For were he
as hideous as a' gargoyle, the face of •
a totem. pole. or a Burmese god, why
not all the better?
What mattered it?
CHAPTER III
He changed the workingman's suit
for his woodsman's . garb and felt the
better for it. It fitted him somewhat
closely yet gave him plenty of free-
dom of movement and harmonized far
better with his surroundings than had
the garments just discarded. And al-
though he was practically unconscious
of the fact,' it became him immensely.
He was tall and erect, and though
somewhat wasted. from late hours and
lack of muscle -building nourishment,
the natural color of health had already
begun to return to his face and his
eyeballs were clear white once more .•
With each deep breath from the pines
he felt the returning surge of his old
strength, and the - bare. thought of the
life he had so long lived. filled hint with
a loathing inexpressible. But he
knew that while the great battle a-
gainst his enemy had been won for all
time, there would be skirmishes still
to be fought. The shock of.that hideous
day was still upon him with -almost
months to
sickening force, but° in the m
come there would be many a. night
when he would lie sleepless through
the long hours and when the tempta-
tion would come to him to arise, and
for the time being at least, seek for=.
gstfulness in the embrace of - a foe
that lulls as it destroys. He had no
fear that he would yield, yet his
guard must be ever up and his front
the sternest and most uncompromis-
ing:
ncompromis-
in He left his cast-off clothing and
telescope in the care ; of the store,
keeper, swung his blanket roll across
his back, and securing minute direc-
tions as to the location of Camp 5,
eight miles distant, set out for it. The
big eddying flakes had blurred the
trail and he trod its dim outlines with
the alertness and caution of one who
for the first time finds himself de-
pendent upon .his own resources amidst
unfamiliar surroundings. Pine, tam-
arack, cedar, hemlock, birch; fir and
hardwoods hemmed him about, silently
mysterious, seeming to close in behind
and before him in a solid wall . yet
parting narrowly to let him pass as
he strode against them along the
shadow trough of the winding- trail.
Save for the soft cruch of his feet in
the snow the silence was absolute;
save for himself it was a lifeless soli-
tude, vast, depressing, bearing down
upon hire Iike a great soft weight as
though he were being smothered by'
tons of feathers. Never before had
he felt such inexpressible homesick-
ness; never before such a hunger for,
the companionship and sympathy of
dome one who could understand. Yet
he well knew he was only' upon the
threshold of an existence which must
ever" be ,in lonely I places and) among
those whom he coeld never call heart
comrades even • 'tli ugh one blanket
might cover .both. Grimly he fought
away the almost `n% ddening soul sick-
ness and trudged stodily on. 1
For three hours he scrambled up
ridges and wound his way among
