Tke warm cotor had flushed ber ! face, but as she stared at him her as- pect rapidly changed. She g »w paler. The happy light that had shone in her eyes faded away and as he approached her she shrank back. “You!” she exclalmed almost in ter ror. “Yes,” he answered smilingly, have found you at last. Thank God you are safe and well. Oh, if you could only know the agonies I have gone through. I thought I loved you when I left you six weeks ago, but now—" In eager impetuosity he drew nearer to her. Another moment and he would have taken her in his arms, but she would have rone of him. “Stop,” she said with a cold lnd fnflexible sternness that gave pause even to his buoyant joyful assurance. “Why, what's the maiter?” “The matter? Everything, but—" “No evasions, please,” continued the man still cheerfully but with a grow- ing misgiving. is suspicions, in abey- ance for the moment because of his joy at seeing her alive and well, arose with renewced force. “I left you prac- tically plecged to me,” he resumed. | “Not so fast,” answered En'd Mait- | 1and, determined to combat the light- 1 est attempt to establish a binding 1 claim upon her. “Isn't it true?” asked Armstrong.‘ “Here, wait,” he said before she could ! answer, “I am half frozen, I have been searching for you since early mora. ing in the storm.” He unbuttoned and unbelted his huge fur coat as he spoke and threw it carelessly on the floor by his Winchester leaning against the wall. “Now,” he resumed, “I can talk better.” “You must have something to eat then,” said the girl. She was glad of the interruption ! since she was playing for time. She | did not quite krow how the interview would end, he bad come upon her so unexrectedly and she had never for- mulated what she would say to him, | that which she felt she must say. She must have time to think, to collect herself, which Le in his part was quite willing to give her, for he was not much beiter prepaved for the inter- view than she. He really was hungry "and tircd, Lis early journey had been foolhardy and in the lighest dcgree dangerous. The violence of his admir- , ation for her added to the excitement of her presence, and the probable near- ness of Newbold as to whose where- ' abouts he wondered were not conduc- fve to rapid recuperation. It would be comfort to him also to have food and time, “Sit down,” she sald. back in a moment.” The fire of the morning was still burning in the stove in the kitchen; to heat a can of buttered toast and hot colice, were the tasks of a fcw moments; Llm brought them back to him, set them on the ta- ble before him and bade him fall to. “DBy jove,” exclaimed the man after a little time as he began to eat hast- ly but with great relish what she had prepared, while she stood over him watching him silently. “This s cozy. A warm, comfortable room, something to eat served by the finest woman in the world, the prettiest girl on earth to look at—what more could a man de- sire? This is the way it's going to be always in the future,” . “You have no warrant whatever for saying or Loping that,” answered the girl slowly but decisively. “Have I not?” asked the man quick- ly. “Did you not say to mo a little while ago that you likcd me better than any man you had ever met and that I might win you if I could? Well, I can, and wlat's more, I wiil in spite of yoursclf, Enid,”"—he laugled, “Why, the menicry of that kiss I stole from “I shall be | | you makes me mad.” He pushed the things before him and rose to his feet once more. “Come, give me another,” he said, “it isu't in the power of wo- man to stand against a love like mine.” [ “Tsa't 47" ‘ “No, indeed.” [ “Louite Newbold did,” she answered very quietly but with tle swiltness and the dexterity of a sword thrust by a master hand, a mighty arm.
