A.iderson had won. He was a successful sheep farmer, and votedly. They had been married six months. Jim Barnes was in the government service. He was a forest ranger. He was & lonely man, somewhat older than Anderson. All his life had been spent in the forests and on the plains. He loved his work; and, when Nesta to it. No one but Nesta knew how hard he took his failure to make her his wife. Barnes was successful because he gave his flock all his attention, In winter he kept them in the pens, bu sweel grasses of the unlands, V} loug, sloping ranges rise above the ‘surmuud.ug forests, into which the sheep will not stray.

While Nesta pre- pared the meal in the day time, John would lie on the hill slopes, watching his flock, ard smokiag, and dreaming of his return to Nesta, It was during one of these days that Barnes came riding up to Nesta's cabin, where she was alone. “Can you epare me a drink of water, ma'am?” he began. “I saw your fire smoking and thought it might be—" Then she turned round and they recognized each other.

His voice was hoarse with el $0ROFOEOPORORORQEURAROROS T | oo i “Nesta!” he cried, and caught her by the hands. “Nestal!” There was an inteuse passion in his voice. He said no more, and, sudden- ly dropping her hands, he turned away. Nesta watched him depart. She knew that he had been beside himself, that the old love, always smoldering within his heart, had suddenly overmastered him at the sight of her. She felt only pity for him. She could not know the hell in Barnes’ heart. For months he had been fighting this overwhelming pas- sion in the depths of the forests; he thought that he had conquered it, un- til the sight of Nesta had proved too strong for his resolution. To wound her would have been the last of his desires; he felt that he must, in some way, atone for his offense. Days passed. Nesta had sald noth- fng to John.

It was toward evening about three weeks later that Barnes, ascending an thser\'nliou hill, perceived a line of | smoke curling up trom the forest edge { beneath him. It indicated a sudden 5 and extensive conflagration, fanned ‘Kby a high wind, and threatening de- | struction. He rode toward it at full gallop, but | before he reached it he perceived that | it was beyond one man's control, There | was nothing to do but ride to the | camp, five miles away, and summon ! aid. He returned about nine o'clock, with a company of ten fire-fighters; but by this time the heaven was atight with the lurid flames. “There’s a camp Gown there” said Stnith, one of his men. “I think it's a eheepman’s. I saw a man and wom- an &8 I rode by yesterday.” He point- ed toward a spot near the lower slope R BRYANT |Building e Florida i THR EVENING TELEGPAM, LAKELAND, FLA., NOV. 10, 1913. he and Nesta loved each cther de- rejected hie suit, he went quietly back | in summer he postu.ed them in the !

AS he galloped the stench of burning ! | wood was in his nostrils, and now and again the grass started into ripples ot | | fire under his horse's hoofs. In their cabin Nesta and John were gleeping. They had known nothing of that remoreeless enemy creeping near er and nearer, and already sending out long streamers of smoke through the open door. John stirred in his sleep and mut- tered, He caught at his throat, turned | over, and slept again. Nesta heard | him, but she did not know that death | was upon them, nor that this uncon-i sciousness which crept upon her was | anything but sleep. A hand pulled at her shoulder. She! ! muttered drowsily. She opened her | | eyes. Barnes was standing over her, | but in her benumbed state it occa- sioned no surprise. | She felt herself lifted in his arme.. A moment later, and Barnes was dush- i ing away to safety, and, when Nesta | came back to consciousness, they were safe over the river bank, and on the | opposite edze was an inferno of flame. | “Jokn! Johm!” she cried, at last un- | derstandirg. But Barnes wos already gone, She waited in an ngony of susponse, watch- {ing the flames leap higher, and the | erackle of buring wood sounded in her | ears like musketry. Then, out of the forest a horse came plunging, and on its back wcre two figures. One was Parnes, and before him, upon the saddle, swathed in a smolder- ing blanket, and supported by Barnes’ arm, was John. The terrified horse plunged into the cooling stream and stumbled. Parnes flung himself from the saddle and, tearing the blanket from Anderson, carried him to the bank., Neither man was badly hurt. The blanket had protected John, though he was still stupefied by tLo smoke, but Darnes’ hair and eyebrov were scorched, and his clothes wero tinder. As Nesta ran forward Ander- con opened his eves. “Nesta!” he murmured feebly, and ! elagped her in his arms, Barncs turned quickly away. He ‘ knew that he had atoned, and that the boll of his heart was quenched in the waters of self-conquest. Still, he did | not want to let John and Nesta thank hinw. (Copyright, 1913, by W, G.
