Mr. Quirk did pray, and if he made bad job of it, as he more than suspected, neither of his earth- ly hearers noticed the fact, for his words were honest, earnest he When ad finished Tom Linton’s arm was around his shoulders; side by side the old men sat for a long time. Their heads were bowed; they kept their eves on Rouletta Kirby's face. Doxct stood over them, mo- tioniess and intense; they could hear him sigh and they could sense his suffering, When the girl's pain caused her to cry out weakly, he knelt and whispered words of com- fort to her, Thus the night wore on, The change came an hour befcre dawn... The change came an hour or two before dawn and the three men ched it with their hearts in their throats. Mutely they questioned one another, deriving deep comfort from each confirmatory nod and gesture, but for some time they dared not voice their growing hope. Rouletta’s fever was breaking, they felt sure; she breathed more deeply, more easily, and she caughed Jess. Her discomfort lessened, too, and finally, when the candle-light grew feeble lefore the signs of coming day, she fell asleep. Later the men rose and stole out of the tent into the cold. Doret was broken. He was limp, almost lifeless; there were deep lines about his eyes, but, nevertheless, they sparkled. ‘ “She's goin’ get well,” he. said, uncertainly. “I’m goin’ teach dat li'l Lird to fly again.” The partners nodded. Sure as shootin’,” Jerry declared. ight-o!” Linton agreed. “Now then”—he spoke in an energetic, pur- poseful tone" going to put Jerry ito bed while I nail that infernal boat together again.” “Not much; you ain't!” Jerry ex- claimed. “You know I couldn't sleep a wink without you, Tom, , What's more, Till never ¢ \ Arm in arm the two ‘partners set off, down the river-bank. —’Poleon smiled after them. When they were out of sight he turned his face yj to the brightening sky and sai iex, I tank you for my Pierce Phillips awoke from a cram: and troubled slumber to find himself lying upon 4 pile_o' baggage in the stern of a skiff. For a moment he remained dazed; then he was surprised to hear the monot- onous creak of oars‘ and’ to feel that he was in motion: “A ‘fur robe shad heen tlirown over him; it was powdered | with snowflakes; but it had kept him warm, He sat’ up to discover Laure facing him. “Helfo!” said’ he. “You here?” INSTALMENT THIRTY-TWO.

They were the ’coopi-shouting sisters whose song had drawn Pierce into the Gold Belt Saloon the evening In the distance were sev- eral other boats. “You feel tough, I'll bet’ Laure’s voice was sympathetic. After a moment of consideration Pierce shook his head. “No,” sai he. “I feel fine—except that I'm hungry, I could eat a log-chain.” “No headache?” 4 ‘None.

I'm a rank amateur.” “Really!” The girl studied him with renewed interest. “What set rot off?” Pierce made no answer. His face seemed fixed in a frown. His was ic past; he could not bear to think of it, much less could he speak of it oting that the oarsman ap- peared to be weary, Pierce volun- teered to relieve him, an offer which vas quickly accepted. As he seated If and prepared to fall to work ised him: Better count your money and sce if it’s all there.” He did as directed. “It's all here,” he assured her. _ She flashed him a smile, then crept into the place he had vacated and drew up the robe snugly. Pierce wondered why she eyed him with that peculiar intentness. Not until she had fallen asleep did he suspect with a, guilty start that the robe was hers ahd that she had patiently wait- ed for him to finish his sleep while she herself, was drooping _ with fatigue. This suspicion gave him a disagreeable shock; he began to give some thought to the nature of his new: surroundings. They were of a sort to warrant consideration; for a Jong time he rowed mechanically, a frown upon his brow. In the first place, he was amazed to find how bravely he bore the anguish of a breaking heart, and how little he desired to do away with himself. The world, — strangely enough, still remained a pleasant place, and already the fret for new adventure was stirring in him. He was not happy—thoughts of Hilda awoke real pain, and his sense of injury burned him like a brand— nevertheless, he could not make himself feel so_ utterly hopeless, so biackly aespondent as the circum- stances piainiy warranted. He was, on the whole, agreeably surprised at his powers of resistance and G& ss- cuperation, both physical and emo- tional. For instance, he should by all means experience a wretched re- action from his inebriety; as a: mat- ter of fact, ha had never felt better in his life; his head was clear, he was ravenously hungry. Then, too, he was not altogether hopeless; it seemed quite probable that he and Hilda would again meet, in which event there was no telling what might bapres Evidently liquor agreed with him; in his case it was not only an anodyne, but also a stimulus, spurring him to optimistic thought and independent — action. Yes, whisky roused a fellow’s man- hood. It must be so, otherwise he would never have summoned the strength to snap those ‘chains which bound him to the Countess Courteau, or the reckless courage to embark upon an enterprise so foreign to his tastes and to his training as this one. His memory of the later incidents of the night before was somewhat indistinct, as was his recollection of the scene when he had served his notice upon the Countes OF this much he felt certain, however; he had done the right thing in freeing himself from a situation that, re- fiected discredit upon his manhood. Whether he had acted wisely’ by casting in his lot with Morris Best’s outfit was another matter altogether, He was quite sure he had not acted wisely, but there is a satisfaction at certain times in doing’ what we know to be the wrong thing, Piérce was no fool: even his lim- ited experience in the North had taught him a good deal about the character of dance-hal! women and of the men who handled them; he was in.no wise deceived, therefore, by the respectability with which the word “theatrical” cloaked this troupe of wanderers; it gave him a feeling: of extreme self-consciousness to find himself associated with such folk; he felt decidedly out of place. What would his people think? And the Countess of Courteau? Well, it would teach her that a man’s heart/was not a football; that a man’s love was not to be juggled with. He had made a gesture of splendid recklessness; he would take the consequences. In justice to the young man, be it said fe had ample cause for resent- ment, and whatever of childishness ¢|he displayed was’ but natutal, for true bilance of character is. the te- sult of experience, and as‘yet he had barely tasted life. ° + As: for the girl Lauré,’ she’awoke no real’ interest in him, now that he saw hef' in the light of day; he in- cluded her in his general, vague contempt for all women of her type. There was, in fact, a certain con- tamination in her touch. True, she forward of Laure a man was row-| Best waved his party toward the shore shortly before dusk.

Only it usually takes him much longer, I'll bet-he’s glad he hired you.” Pierce murmured something. “Are you glad he did?” “Why, yes—of conrseg’ Best hav them,” he told her, frankly. There’ was a moment's then Laure said: “Don't!” pause; Phillips shrugged. In a wor weary, cynical tone he asserte: “Women t interest me.” “What ails you today" I quired, curiously, “Nothing. I'm not much of a ies’ man, that’s all.” e. Anyhow, you s all tuned up, then,” he ex plained. “That's not my norma! pitch.” “Don't you like me as well as you did?” “Why—certainly.” “Is there another woma. ““Anothe: Pierce straightened There's not even What difference would it m there were?” “Oh, none.” Laure’s tecth flashed through the gloom. “I was curious, Cutiosi killed a on ke it y cat, didn’t it? Will you help me up the bank?” Pierce took the speaker's ar; to- gether they climbed the gravelly in- cline toward the illumination from the cook fire. In the edge of the shadows Laure halted and her hand | slipped down over Pierce's. “Remember!” she said, meaning “Don't—or you'll hear irom me.” CHAPTER XVII Laure had no cause to repeat her admonition, for, in the days that fol- lowed, Pierce Phillips maintained to- ward the women members. of the party an admirable attitude of aloof- | ness. He was not rude, neither was he discourteous; he merely isolated himself from them and discouraged their somewhat timid advances to- | doubtless | ward friendship. This would have met with Laure’s whole- hearted approval had he not treated her in precisely the same She had at first assumed a somewhat tri- umphant air of proprietorship to- , ward him, but this quickly gave way to something entirely different. They began to know cach other, to be sure; for hours upon end they were together, which could have re- suited in nothing less than a thor- ough acquaintance; notwithstanding this, there lurked behind Phillips’ friendly interest an emotional apa- thy. that piqued the girl and put. her on her mettle. She hid her chagrin under an assumption of carelessness, but furtively she studied him, for, every hour he bulked bigger to her. He exercised a pronounced effect up- on her; his voice, his laughter, brought a light and a sparkle to her eyes; she could not rest when he was out of her sight. His appeal, unconscious on his part, struck to the very core of her being. To dis- cover that she lacked a similar ap- Pea: ior him roused the girl to des- peration; she lay awake nights, try ing to puzzle out*the reason, for this wag a new experience to her.
