Oh, Mrs. Maitland.” By this time Kirkby was on his feet, the storm had stolen upon him sleeping and unaware. The configura- tion of the canon had completely hid its approach. At best the three in the camp could not have discovered it until it was high in the heavens. Now the clouds were already approaching enough to pull the could get back to it.

For a few seconds he strove to re- cover himself, then he thought of the fask he always carried in his pocket. It was gone. His clothes were ragged and torn; they had been ruined by his battle with the waves. The girl lay where he had placed her on her back. In the pocket of her hunting shirt he noticed a little protuberance. The pocket was provided with a flap and tightly buttoned. Without hesitation he unbuttoned it. There was a flask there, a little silver mounted affair; by some miracle it had not been brok- en. It was half full. With nervous hands he opened it and poured some of it down her throat; then he bent over her, his soul in his glance, scarcely knowing what to do next. Presently she opened her eyes. from their pickets and started them up the steep trall that led down from the hogback to the camp by the wa- ter's edge. He also tried to start the burros he had just rounded up in the eame the confident assurance of that dogmatic statement? For as it chanc- ed, at that very moment the woman for whose peril your heart was wrung was being lifted out of the torrent by same direction. Some of them would go and some of them would not. He had his hands full in an {instant. Meanwhile Kirkby did not linger by the side of Mirs. Maitland. With in- credible agility for so old a man he ran over to the tent where the stores were kept and began picking out such articles of provision as he could easiest carry. “Come over here, Mrs. Maitland,” he cried. “We'll have to carry up on the hill somethin’ to keep us from starvin’ till we get back to town. We hadn’t orter camped in this yere pocket noways, but who'd ever expect- ed anything like this now?” “What do you fear?” asked the woman, joining him as she spoke and a man's hand! say that the old hunter was not right, and that the man himself, as men of old have been, was sent from God? “It can't be,' began Mrs. Maitland in great anguish for the girl she had grown to love. “Ef ghe seed the storm an' realized what it was, an’ had sense enough to climb up the canon wall” answered the other, “she won't be no worse off'n we are; ef not—" Mrs. Maitland had only to look down into the seething cauldron to understand the possibility of that “if.” “Oh,” she cried, “let us pray for her that she sought the hills.” “I've been a doin’ it said the old And. yet, who shall | ©alm Chapter, V.
