The bucket was at the top now. A signal from above, and Fairchild low- ered It, to extend a hand and to aid the girl to the ground, looking at her with wendering, eager eyes. In the light of the carbide torch, she was the same boyish-appearing little person he had met on the Denver road except | that snow had taken the place of dust | now upon the whipcord riding habit, | and the brown hair which caressed the corners of her eyes was molst with :the breath of the blizzard. Some ‘way Falrchild found his voice, lost for a moment. “Are—are you in trouble?” “No.” She smiled at him. -:“But out on a night like this—in a blizzard. How did you get up here?” “She shrugged her shoulders. “I walked. Oh,” she added, with a smile, “it didn't hurt me any. The wind was pretty stiff—but then I'm falrly strong. I rather enjoyed it.” «“But what's happened—what's gone wrong?

And he was dying slowly.—it was all I could do to help. him, and I promised. But—when he went—I felt that my—my duty was over. I don't consider myself bound to him any longer.” “You've told Rodaine so0?7” ‘where.” “Rodaine? Impossible!™ “They’ve made all their plans.

I—yes, I’ll be there,” came with a short laugh. “And Harry, too. There'll be no trouble— from the Rodaines!” She came a little closer to him then and looked up at him with trustful eyes, all the brighter in the splutter- Ing light of the carbide, “Thank you—it seems that I'm al- ways thanking you.
