CHAPTER XIII.—(Cont'd.)
It was the same with her, too. If
she had to de it over again' she would'
never baitoi.• away,her birthright for
a mess ofrpottage ; She had' had all
possible opportunities for happiness,
but together she and�Peter had wast-
ed them; and no "matter what she
tried to make .herself believe,; no Mate
ter what. contentment she would ulti
lnt.teJly,and in Ivan's amts, they could
never conte again. ,,rears flooded her
eye's.
' She (Implied dowiv'futthoyon to
her bunk. The fire in the camp stove
burned down to coals. She saw Peter
eriee 0 out the ether. feom his, pipe
liglitly,;scgas not to disturb her—and•
.
for an instant he stood, perfectly me-
tionless, at 'her threshold: A faint,
pale glow tirrough the air draft in
the front- of the etove showed hart
dimly, and something in the cast of
the hentely face, the halfobscured;.
dim ' sober :curl of hie lips, suggested
a tenderness that she had never, even
in their most exalted' moments, seen in
the faro of the magmflcent man aiid'
genius to who mtoday she had 'given
her promise. She had seen ardor,
truly, Ionging and desire that be-
wildered her by its savage intensity;
but tide had never found real tender-
ness, innate instinctive Chivalry.
" "Good night, Pete," shetold him
simply. .
"Good night, Mrs. Newhall." His
enawer came soft and moving from.
the darkened threshold. "Sleep good."
He meant that she need' not be.
afraid of the dark. Though ho him-
self stayed in the dugout, this humble
man would be ow guard through the
long, empty Hours.
CHAPTER XIV.
PETER INSURED.
This camp was home, but in Dor-
othy's mind it was a very empty and
desolate place when both Ivan and
Pets were absent.
So when Pete started,.to his hunt-
ing on the afternoon of the second
,day= Dorothy expressed a wish to ac-
company hint. The man'sdelight
knew no hounds; And goon' their were
tramping side by side over the tundra:
It was riot the kind, of day that :one
ordinarily- chooses. for a walk abroad.
The ,clouds were sullen and gray.low-
hung so that the white peaks of 'the
divide were obscured, and the seas
were gray in their shadow; a. brisk
inshore wind blustered at them as
they climbed the ridge, chilling theta,
threatening them with the travail of
tire' winter that -would soon strike
down.
Once they saw a black fox whose
expensive fur was already long and
dense in preparation for.winter; and
Dorothy found hint even mol to be
admired 'here in.his native' setting—
as he raced across it patch of old
snow and shimmered to living beauty,
—than as a neckpiece in n 'fashionable
fur shop'in her native city.
On the high, windy ridges and ;just
below the long, ;white sweep of the
Mann tinge they flushed up n small
herd 'Of caribou. They were out of
rifle range bei'ore ever Pete got sight
of them, far acrose the gulch, and it
was almost incredible to:Dorothy how
quickly they disappeared, " '
"Too bad we didn't see them in
time, Pete commented. "We're going
to'.need :lots of. dry meat ler the •trip.
out in the dory—anti for my winter
supply.; ,And,, by George, we might
get then, yet—"
"Chase them down?" the girl asked.
"With an airship, yes!, That's a
Wad 'canyo2i they are running tip, and,
it's an old caribou trick to conte
swinging beak. ' Mrs. Newhall, if you
want to be in at the death, yeti'llhave
to travel quick—"
• "Go on. If I can't keep up, I'll
wait for -you."
• So they started at a fast pace down
the steep slope of the ridge with the
idea of crossing into the valley and
meeting'l;he herd as it, swept back.
Almost at once Dorothy saw that she
.could not keep pace. Pets wee travel-
ing down hill ie. long, swift steps.
From where Dorothy stood site slew
that the man was disconcerted. The
gully'was evidently almost an abrupt
precipice, too steep to descend easily;
and if he should lower himself down
without mishap, the time required to
climb the opposite precipice • would

''unting herd. Re hesitated but ail
_,istant ; tltturned rapidly up the
edge of- the gully, seeking an easier
place to crosons.
He soon reached • 1 bank of old snow
stretching ' completely across apper-
ently a thielscrust such as often en-
duree in these latitudes from one year
to another over the cold, deep, gullies.
He' tured to laugh hack at the -girl,
waved his afro gayly—a vivid, cheer-
ig picture that the stress, of civiliza-
tien would not .0000 wipe from her
memory—thee started to cross.
Her 'first impulse was to shout a
warning. Did he not know that often
stat snowbanks melt from the bottom
until they were merely fragile crusts?
Her instinct was to stop hits at no
matter what cost of her ,dignity and
caste -pride; to run after Mrs, crying;
to order; hien back; to stretch her arms
to hint. Her fear was so great that
it partookof the nature of actual pre-
monition.. Yet he knew what she was
doing. This was 5315 home land; acid
if he took risks they were on has own
head. It was not for herto show such
interest in him, a guide. '
It arils folly at best. The loan

knew what he was doing. He was ad-
vancing with some degree of caution
at least—one foot placed gingerly be-
fore he stepped. Surely if he let his
seal for hun•tiiig—always a mission
with the Anglo-Saxotl.---carry^hin1 into
danger, it was no cause for her to
lose her cool poise on which she gritted
herself. Likely it was only a --nilly
trick of the imagination.
