No voice replied, and, keeping Wayâ€" land‘s hand, she felt her way along the fence till it revealed a gate; then she turned toward the roaring of the stream, which grew louder as they adâ€" vanced. "The cabin is near the falls, that much I know," she assured him. Then a moment later she joyfully cried out,, "Here it is!" + CHAPTER IX. The Other Girl. HE girl‘s voice stirred the be numbed youth into action again and he followed ber mechan ically, often stumbling against the trees, slipping and sliding, till at last his guide, pitching down a sharp slope, came directly upon a wire fence. IT The girl‘s quick eye saw much else. She located an oil lamp, some pine wood and a corner cupboard. In a few moments the lamp was lit, the stove refilled with fuel and she was stripping Wayland‘s wet coat from his back, cheerily discoursing as she did so. "Here‘s one of Tony‘s old jackets, put that on while I see if I can‘t find some dry stockings for you. Sit right down here by the stove; put your feet in the oven. < I‘ll have a fire in a jiffy. There, that‘s right. Now TI‘ll start the coffee pot." She soon found the coffee, but it was unground. *"Wonder where he keeps his coffee mill."

After hanging a blanket over the broken window, she set out some cold meat and a half dozen baking powder biscuits, which she found in the cupâ€" board, and as soon as the coffee was ready she poured it for him, but she would not let him leave the fire. She brought his supper to hin and sat beâ€" side him while be ate and drank. : "*Now, bhush," she commanded. "It‘s not your fault that you are weak. Now, while I am eating my supper you slip off your wet clothes and creep into Tony‘s bunk, and I‘ll fill one of these sirup cans with hot water to put at your feet." A moment later, as it seemed, someâ€" thing falling woke him with a start, and, looking up, he found the sun shin: ing and Berrie confronting him with an anxious face. "Did I waken you?‘ she The hot, strong coffee revived him physically and brought back a little of his courage, and he said, "I‘m ashamed to be such a weakling." It was of no use for him to protest against ber further care. She insisted, and while she ate he meekly carried out her instructions, and from the deâ€" licious warmth and security of his bed watched her moving about the stove till the shadows of the room became one with the dusky figures of his sleep. 4 Copyright, 1014 by Heamlin Garland * trail is this ites, then gave .up no matter, here‘s a hammer.
