Providence seems to be a-watchln' over 'em." "You said you chanced on this paper, Jack," continiyd Maitland. "It looks like the deliberate Intention of Almighty God." "I reckon so," answered the other, simply. "You see He's got to look after all the fools on earth to keep 'em from doin' too much damage to theirselves an' to others in this yere crooked trail of a world." "I^et us start now," urged "Armstrong. " 'Tain't possible," said the old man, taking another puff at his pipe, and only a glistening of the eye betrayed the joy that he felt; otherwise his phlegmatic calm wa3 unbroken, his demeanor Just as undisturbed as it always was.

"What's your hurry, Jim ?" continued Kirkby, calmly. "The gal's safe; one day more' or less ain't goln' to make no difference." "She's with another man," answered Armstrong quickly. . "Do you know this Newbold?" ask' ed Maitland, looking at the note again. "No, not personally, but I have heard of him." "I know hhn," answered Kirkby quickly, "an' you've seed him too, Bob; he's the feller that shot his wife, that married Louise Rosser." "That man!" "The very same." "You 6ay you never saw him, Jim?" asked Maitland. "I repeat I never met him," said Armstrong, flushing suddenly; "but I knew him wife." "Yes, you did that?" drawled the old mountaineer. "What do you mean?" flushed Armstrong. "I mean that you knowed her, that's all," answered the old man with an innocent air that was almost childike.

Whatever the feeling of the others, Armstrong xouna nimseir unaoie to sleep that night. It seemed to him that fate was about to play him the meanest and most fantastic of tricks. Many times before in his crowded life he had loved other women, or so he characterized his feelings, but his passion for Louise Rosser Newbold had been in a class by itself until he had met Enid Maitland. Between the two there had been^many women, but these two were the high points, the rest was lowland. Once before, therefore, this Newbold had cut in ahead of him and had won the woman he loved. Armstrong had cherished a hard grudge against him for a long time. He had not been of those who had formed the rescue party led by old Kirkby and Maitland which had buried the poor woman on the great butte in the deep canon. Before he got back to the camp the whole affair was over and Newbold had departed. Luckily for him, Arm strong had always thought, for he "" had been so mad with grief and rage and jealousy that If he had come across him, helpless or not, he would have killed him out of hand. Armstrong had soon enough forgotten Louise Rosser, but he had not forgotten Newbold. All his ancient anlmoslty had flamed into instant life | again, at the sight of his name last I night. The inveteracy of his hatred had ' been in no way abated by the lapse j of time, it seemed. ; Everybody in the mining camp had j supposed that Newbold had wandered 4 off and perished in the mountains, else J Armstrong might have pursued him j I and hunted him down. The sight of \ I his name on that piece of paper was I outward and visible evidence that he E still lived. It had almost the shock g of a resurrection, and a resurrection | to hatred rather than to tove. If I Newbold had been alone in the world, if Armstrong had chanced upon him in the solitude, he would have hated him Just as he did, but when he thought that his ancient enemy was with the woman he now loved, with a growing intensity beside which his former respntment aoomrwl ivonlr nnri h? hated him yet the more. He could not tell Vvhen the notice, which he had examined carefully, wai written; there was no date upon it, but he could come to only one conclusion. Newbold must have found Enid Maltland alone In the mountains very shortly after her departure, and he had her with him in his cabin alone for at least a month. Armstrong gritted his teeth at the thought. He did not undervalue the personality of ? Newbold. He had never happened to see him, but he had heard enough abo#t him to understand his qualities as a man. The tie that bound Armstrong to Enid Maitland was a strong one, but the tie by which he held her to him, If indeed he held her at all, was very tenuous and easily broken; perhaps It was broken al- i ready, and so he hated him still more and more. Indeed, his animosity was so great and growing that for the moment he B took no Joy in the assurance of the girl's safety; yet he was not altogether an unfair man, and in calmer moments _ he thanked God in his own rough way that the <j alive and well, or had been when the note was written. He rejoiced that stye had not been swept awaj with the flood or that k she had not been lost In the mountains and forced to wander on finally to I starve and freeze and die. In one mo- ? Hfecnt her nearness caused his heart to l^nrob with joyful anticipation. The 8 .certainty that at the first flush of day he should seek her again sent the warm blood to his cheeks. But those thoughts would be succeeded by the knowledge that she was with his en- ? emy. Was this man to rob him of the latest love as he had robbed him of f I the first? Perhaps t .e hardest task ^ i that was ever laid upon Armstrong | was to lie quietly in his sleeping bag I ..Mill ^ I UHU wait LiII Ll 1 LUC IllUlUllIfc. I So soon as the first indication of dawn showed over the crack of the ? door, he slipped quietly out of his sleeping bag and without disturbing the others drew on his boots, put on his heavy fur coat and cap and gloves, slung his Winchester and his snow shoes over his shoulder, and without slopping for a bite to eat, softly opened the door, stepped out and closed it after him. It was quite dark in the ' bottom of the canon, although a few pale gleams overhead indicated the near approach of day. It was quite still, too. There were clouds on the mountain top heavy with threat of wind and snow. The way was not difficult, the direction of it, that is. Nor was the going very difficult at first; the snow was frozen and the crust was strong enough to bear him. He did not need his snow shoes, and, indeed, would have had little chance to use them in the j narrow, broken, rocky pass. He had | slipped away from the others because ne wanted to ne nrst to see tne man ? and the woman. He did not want any witnesses to that meeting. They would have come on later, of course; but he wanted an hour or two In private with Enid and Newbold without ? any Interruption. His conscience was not clear. Nor could he settle upon a A course of action. Pli How much Newbold knew of his ] former attempt to win away his wife, pillow much of what he knew he had cj{ told Enid Maitland, Armstrong could ' not surmise. Putting himself Into I Newbold's place and imagining that i the engineer had possessed entire inI formation, he decided that he must have told everything to Enid Mait- ca land as soon as he had found out the be quasi relation between her and Armstrong. And Armstrong did not believe the woman he loved could be In anybody's presence a month without telling something about him. Still, it was yo possible that Newbold knew nothing, an and that he told nothing therefore. The situation was paralyzing to a ^ man of Armstrong's decided, determined temperament. He. could not decide upon the line of conduct he should e wt (Continued on page 7) <jri >"ow is the time to hare yonr clothes made for the hot weather wear.
