V "Oh," said the man shortly and gloomily, as he turned away. Enid Maitland had been very brave in his presence, but when he went out #he put her head down on her arms on the table and cried softly to herâ€" self. Was ever a woman in such a predicament, thrown into the arms of a man who had established every conâ€" cetvable claim upon her gratitude, forced to live with him shut up in & iwoâ€"room log cabin upon a lonely mountain range, surrounded by lofty and inaccessible peaks, pierced by terâ€" wiflic gorges soon to be impaseable from the snows? She bad read many ;;::lea of castaways, from Charles de‘s famous "Foul Play" down to jmore mcdern instances, but in those wcases there had always been an island _pmpantively large over which to ‘reign with privacy, seclusion, opportuâ€" Inity for withdrawal; bright heavens, balmy © breezes, idyllic conditions.

No man had ever so interested her as this one. ‘What was the mystery of his life, why was he there, what bad he meant when he had blessed the idle impulse that had sent her into bis arms? Her heart throbbed again. She Hft 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?

What was a quick and simple task in milder, warmer seasons someâ€" times took him a half a day under the present. rigorous conditions. And the woman never saw him start out in the storm without a sinking heart and | grave apprebension. On his return to the cabin half frozen, almost spent and exhausted, she ever welcomed him with eager gratitude and satisfaction which would shine in her eyes, throb En her heart and tremble upon her lips, control it as she might. And he thought it was well worth all the trouâ€" bie and hardships of his task to be so greeted when he cameâ€"back to her. Winter had set in unukually early | « and with unprecedented severity. Any | kind of winter in the mountains would have amazed the girl, but even | the man with his larger experience declared he had never before known such sharp and suddeén cold, or such dee® and lasting snows,. His daily records had never shown such low temperatures nor had his observation ever noted such wild and furious storms as raged then and there. It geemed as if Nature were in a con» «piracy to seal up the mountains and ‘ all they contained, to make ingress ‘and egress alike impossible. A month bhad elapsed and Enid‘s ‘foot was now quite well. The man ‘had managed to sew up her boot ‘where the knife had cut it and alâ€" ithough the job was a clumsy one the result was a._usable shoe. It is as tonishing the comfort she took when she first put it on and discarded for good the shapeless woolen stocking .which had covered the clumsy bandâ€" age happ!ly no longer necessary.

Her wishes were consulted wbout everything; to be sure no great range of choice was allowed them, otf Hberty of action or freedom in the sonstraints with which nature bound them, but whenever there was any selection she made it % â€"‘Fue man yicided everything for her. and yet he did it without in any way derogating from his selfâ€"respect or without surrendering his natural in dependence. The woman instinctiveâ€" ly realized that in any great crisis in any large matter, the determination of which would naturally effect their present or their future, their happinâ€" ess, welfare life, he would assert him self, and his assertion would be unâ€" questioned and unquestionable by her. There was a delightful satisfaction to the woman in the whole situation. Bhe had a woman‘s desire to lead. in the <emaller things in life, and yet craved the woman‘s consclousness that in the great emergencies she would be led, in the great battles she would be fought for, in the great danâ€" gers she would be protected, in the great perils she would be saved. ‘There was rest, comfort, joy and satisâ€" faction in these thoughts. ‘The strengt;; of the man she masâ€" tered was estimate of her own power and charm. There was a great, sweet, vwoiceless, unconscious flattery in his deference of which she could not be unaware. Having little else to do, she studied the man, and she studied him with a warm desire and an enthusiastic preâ€" disposition to find the best in him. She would not have been‘a buman 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. SUFFERED The cireumstances 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 ber cheek still on the instant, had in some way turned her over to him. His consideration of her, his gracious tenderness toâ€" ward her, his absolute abnegation, his evident overwhelming desire to please her, to make the anomalous situation in which they stood to each other bearable in spite Oof their lonely and unobserved intimacy, by an absolute lack of presumption on his partâ€"all those things.touched her profoundly. Although she did not recoguize 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 bendâ€" ing over her.
