TO SYNOPSIS: Anne Wilmot visits the mountain cabin of Beott Glenn, to flirt with him, me:ls left breathless and con- by the toll she paid. She rmine: to aveid Glenn as she waits for Leon Morse to ask her hand in a loveless mar- e. Mor-s is bus'ly engaged in dark piots against Glenn whose irrigation dam that blocks Morse's right of way for a railroad necars completion. Two weeks later, on her daily walk in the mountains, Anne becomes lost. In her wander- ings she comes upon Glenn and Sheb. She flees from Glenn who follows and finally stops her. Chapter 18 ENCHANTMENT Anne’s cheek went from scarlet 1o white. She wrenched fiercely at Glenn's casually restraining hand on her shoulder. All the smol- - dering rage and humiliation of | weeks surged up hotly. “I suppose ¥ou want to tell me that I haye | tracked you down again—that——" Bhe broke off from sheer inability to keep the quaver out of her volce. #She was trembling from head to foot. “Now, see here” he reasoned calmly, “as far as that night after the storm’s concerned, I've already apologized for . it—abjectly—in a letter you refused to read, and I don’t intend to do it again—" Hu- mor still lingered unmistakably in his grey eyes. “For the rest, it was true, wasn't it? You wanted to strike the spark you're used to seeing in a man's eyes, and—if you get scorched a bit in the subse- quént conflagration, you ought to have been a good sport and taken it as a matter of course.” Anne to all appearances was not paying the slightest attention to anything he sald. She stood lcok- ing angrily about for some means! of escape. Glenn went on, how-, evet, unperturbed, “What I prinei-| FROM HER BEFORE g oME G5 SICK?, 7 ADVIC SHE'S ET NEARLY, ot HALF OF IT!

Now, let me go home.” “I must have a look at those scratches first,” he reminded her gravely, and swabed the swelling red welts copiously with antiseptic, from a little bottle he carried. “Now, if you'll show me the trail,” she suggested. He propped one foot against a fallen log, and leaned toward her, smiling. You can't possibly find it alone,” he informed her. “Be- sides, I'm not through yet. = The main thing I wanted to tell you is—I'm going to marry you'" Anne started to laugh, then ob-| served with malicious gravity,| “THere's just one objection to that.| I pfomised Sheb I wouldn't!” “Why, we don't even know one another,” she protested lightly, still declining to treat the matter seri-| ously. “That’s not true” he said, look- ing straight into her eyes, “is it?" _ “Of course it is,” she laughed, avgiding his gaze. “And—I mus: really be golng.” She made a de- cisive move t0. pass him, but he only stayed himself more firmly against the log. “No, you can’t get out of it as easlly as that. You see, you've started something this time that you. can't stop.” “Please—I must go.” Anne made another movement to slip past him. He halted and held her; drew her toward him, one hand on either elbow. “You know it was bad pol- jey—letting me kiss your hand that first morning and then—the other—Unless you meant to go through with it—It set up a sort of unquenchable thirst!” He bent over her, his eyes golden with light. twisted her head away with A quick, deft move. “No,” she said in.a low, imploring tone, “No, no—" “No—?

Anne stood for some motionless, watching him. After a | time, she stopped absently and picked up one of the fragments of moments she had no idea that it had fallen from Glenn's pocket. She played with it idly for a moment and fin- ally put it into a pocket of her sweater. “It must have been a deer,” Glenn explained, coming back to her. A little farther down the trail, they came on Sheb. He was sit- ting exactly where they had left him, his head in his hands, Japh- eth stretched slumberously at his feet. Glenn looked at his watch. “If you don't mind,” he said to Anne, “I'm going to let Sheb take you the rest of the way. I have to be at the works by 6.” He took her | hand and looked down at her earnestly. “You will let me see you again, won't you, very soon? Tll send Sheb for a note.” Sheb and Anne started off down the trail. Glenn stood, hat in hand, watching until they were out of sight, then turned and walked off rapidly in the opposite directioz.
