Was ever a woman in such a predicament, thrown into the arms of a man who had established every con- ceivable claim upon her gratitude, forced to live with him shut up in a two-room log cabin upon a lonely mountain range, surrounded by lofty and inaccessible peaks, pierced by tcr- rific gorges soon to be impassable from the snows? She had read many stories of castaways, from Charlcs Reade’s fam:us “I“Oul Play" down to more modern instances, but in those cases thereJxad always been an island comparatively large over which to reign with privacy, seclusion, opportu- nity for withdrawal; bright heavens, balmy L. ezcs, idyllic conditions. Here were two uplifu (i from the t '--r n upon a sky-piercing mountain. 'l‘lwy would have had more range of at? 'l and more liberty of motion it had been upon a derelict in the o< And she realized at the same time that in all those stories the two catt- uways always loved each other. \K'oull it be so with them? Was it so? And again the hot flame within outvied the fire of the hearth as the blood rushed to the smooth surface of her check He recognized at once that idleness a gain. THE CHALICE 0F COURAGE 1 . n What would her father say 1. he could know her position, what woud the world say. and above all what would Armstrong say. It cannot be denied that her thoughts were terri- bly and overwhelmingly dismayed. and yet that despair was not without a certain relief. No man had ever so interested her as this one. What was the mystery of his life, why was he there, what had he meant when he had blessed the idle impulse that had sent her into his arms? Her heart throbbed again. She lift- ed her face from her hands and: dried her tears, a warm glow stole over her and once again not altogether from the fire. Who and what was this man? Who was that woman whose picture he had taken from her? Well, she would have time to find out. And meantime the world outside could think and do what it pleased. She sat staring into the fire light, seeing pictures there, dreaming dreams. She was as lovely as an angel to the man when he came back into the room. lived ct Of i’ru. :1 1mm snore LU buuns. Luv mountain Ll'ilo‘dh‘, if they flowed at all, run under thick arches of ice. The deepest canons were well nigh impas- siblo from huge drifts that sometimes almost rose level with the tops of the walls. In every sheltered spot great banks of white were massed. The spreading branches of the tall pine trees in the valleys drooped: under heavy burdens of snow. Only here and there sharp gaunt peaks were swept clean by the fierce winter winds and thrust themselves upward in icy air, naked and bare. The cold was polar in its bitter intensity. j The little shelf or plateau jutting out from the mountain side upon which the lonely cabin stood was shel- tered from the prevailing winds, but; the house itself was almost coveredi with the drifts. The constant flre‘ roaring up the huge stone chimney; had melted some of the snow at the top and it had run down the slanting roof and. formed huge icicles on what had been the eaves of the house. The man had cut away the drifts from more and windows for light and lib- erty.

It seemed as it Nature were in a con- spine? to seal up the mountains and all they contained, to make ingress and egress alike impossible. i A month had elapsed and Enid" {om was now quite well. The man' had managed to sew up her boot where the knife had cut it and nl-Z though the job was a clumsy one the result was a usable shoe. It is es- tonishing the comfort she took when she first put it on and discarded for good the shapeless woolen stocking which had covered the clumsy band- 886 happily no longer necessary. Al. though the torn and bruised member had healed and she could use it with care, her foot was still very tender and capable of sustaining no violent or long continued strain. Of neces- sity she had been largely confined to the house, but whenever it had been possible he had wrapped her in his great bear skin coat and had helped her out to the edge of the clii! for a breath of fresh air. Sometimes he would leave her there alone, would perhaps have left her alone there always had she not imperiously required his company. Insensibly she had acquired the hab- . itâ€"not a difficult one for a woman to fall intoâ€"oil taking the lead in the small affairs of their circumscribed existence, and he had acquiesced in her dominance without- hesitation or remonstrance. It was she who or- dered their daily walk and conversa- tion. Her wishes were consulted about everything; to be sure no great range of choice was allowed them, oi liberty of action or freedom in the constraints with which nature bound them, but whenever there was “any selection she made it. The man yielded everything for her and yet he did it without in any way derogating from his self-respect or without surrendering his natural in- dependence. The woman instinctive. 1y realized that in any great crisis in any large matter, the determination of which would naturally effect their present or their future, their happin- ess, welfare life, he would assert him- self, and his assertion would be un- questioned and unquestionable by her. There was a delightful satisfaction to the woman in the whole situation. She had a woman’s desire to lead in the smaller things in life, and yet craved the woman’s consciousness that. in the great emergencies site would he led, in the great battles she would be fought for, in the great dan~ gers she would be protected. in the great perils she would be saved. There was rest, comfort, joy and satis- faction in these thoughts. The strengtl. of the man she mas. tered was estimate of her own power and charm. There was a great, sweet, voiceless, unconscious flattery in his deference of which she could not be unaware. Having little else to do, she studied the man. and the studied him with a warm desire and an enthusiastic pre disposition to find the best in him. She would not have been a human girl if she had not been thrilled to the very heart of her by what the man had done for her. She recognized that whether he asserted it or not, he had established an everlasting and indisputable claim upon her. The circumstances of their first meeting, which as the days passed did not seem quite so horrible to her. and yet a thought of which would bring the blood to her cheek still on the instant, had in some way turned her over to him. His consideration of her, his gracious tenderness to- ward her, his absolute abnegation, his evident overwhelming desire to please her, to make the anomalous situation in which they stood to each other bearabhe in spite of their lonely and unobserved intimacy, by an absolute lack of presumption on his partâ€"all those things touched her profoundly. No sight that had ever met Enid Maitland’s eyes was so glorious, so awe inspiring, so uplifting and mag niflcent as the view from the verge of the cliff in the sunlight of some bright winter morning. Few women .had ever enjoyed such privileges as 'bers. She did not know whether she liked the winter crowned range bmsi that way, or whether she prefer-at: the snowy world, glittering cold in trw moonlight; Or even whether it was more attractive when it was. dark and the peaks and drifts were only light ed by the stars which shone never so brightly as just above her head. Although she did not recognize the fact then perhaps, she loved him from the moment her eyes had opened in the mist and rain after that awful battle in the torrent to see him bend- ing over her. When he allowed her she loved t" stand sometimes in the full fury c" the gale with the wind shrieking ant. sobbing like lost souls in some it. inferno through the hills and over t‘m pines, the snow heating upon her, tla sleet cmtirg her face if she dared tr turntoward the storm.

Yet it made no dif- | forence what was spread before that woman's eyes, what glorious picture! was exhibited to her gaze, she could not look at it more than a moment without thinking of the man.

He had never presumed upon the sit- uation in the least degree, he never once referred to the circumstances of their meeting in the remotest way, he never even discussed her rescue from the flood. he never told her how he had borne her through the rair lo the lonely shelter of the hills. and in no way did he say anything that the most keenly scrutinizing dlnd would torture into an allusion to the pool and the bear and the woman. The fineness of his breeding was never so well exhibited as in this mticence. Hare often than ,not it is what he does not rather than what he dues ‘ that indicates the man. It would he folly to deny that he never thought of these things. Had he iorgotten them there would be no merit in his silence; but to remem- ber them and to keep stillâ€"aye, that showed the man!
