When Stormont gently halted his horse it was dawn, and Eve, sagging against him with one arm around-his neck, sat hudled up on her saddle fast asleep. In a birch woods, on the eastern slope of the divide, stvod the log camp, @imly visible in the silvery lght of early morning. Daragh, cautioning Stormont with a slight gesture, went forward, mounted the. rustic veranda, and kenockedd at a lightedd window. A man already dressed, came and peered out at him, then hurried to open the door. “I don't know you, Captain Dar. ragh—" he began, but fell silent un-| der the warning gesture that checked | him. ' “I've a guest outside, She's Clinch’s stepdaughter, Eve Strayer. She knows me-by the name of Hal Smjth. Do you} understand?” | “Cut that out, too. I'm Hal Smith} to you' also, State Trooped* Stormont it out there with Eve Strayer. He was a comrade of mine tn Russia. I'm} Hal Smith to him, by mutual agree- ment. Now dp you get me, Ralph?"’| “Sure, Hal. “Go on; spit it out!" They both grined. “You're a hootch runner,” said Dar. raggh. “This is your shack. The hatchery is only a blind. That's all you have to know, Ralph. Sv put that girl in my room and let her sleep til she wakes of her own accord. ‘Stormont and I will take two of the guest-bunks in the L. And for heaven's sake make us some coffee when you make your own. But first come out and take the horse.” They went out together. Stormont lifted Eve out of the saddle. Sho did not awake. Darragh led the way into the log house and along a cor- ridor to his room. “Turn down the sheets,” whispered { Stormont. And when the bed was ready: “Can you get a bath towel, Jim?” Darragh fetched one from the con- necting room. “Wrap it ground her wet hair,” whispered Stormont. “Good heav: I wish there we! a woman here. “I wish so too,” said Darragh; she's | chilled to ‘the bone. You'll have to wake her. She can't sleep in what she's wearing; it’s almost as damp as her hair—" He went to the closet and returned with a man’s morning robe, as soft as fleece. “Somehow or other she’s go} to get into that,” ‘he said. ‘There was a silence. “Very well,” said Stor@hont, red dening. .... “If you'll step out r—| manage ’ He looked Darragh/ “T have asked he said straight in the ey her to marry me, When Stormont came out a great fire of birch-logs was blazing in the ng-room, and Darragh stood there, his elbow on the rough stone mantelshelt. Stormont came straight to the fire and set one spurred boot on the fen- der. “She's warm and dry and sound asleep,” he said. “I'll wake her again if you think she ought to swallow something hot.” “This is my friend Ralph Wier,” said Darragh. “I think you'd better give Eve a cup of coffee.” . And, to} Wier, “Fill a couple of hot ‘water bags, old chap, We don’t want any pneumonia in this house.” Then he went to his own quarters to read two letters which, conforming to arrangements made with Mrs. Ray the day he had robbed Emanuel Sard, were to be sent to Trout Lodge to! await his arrival. | Both, written from the Rits, bore| the date of the day before: the first! he opened was from the Countess Or- loff-Strelwitz: “Dear Captan Darragh, You are so wonderful!
