Both were breakfasting heavily, The pretty, sulky-faced’ girl fetched a tray and placed Eve's breakfast on it; and Trooper Stormont carried It to her room, She was awake when he He set the tray on the table, put both arms around his neck. “Jack,” she murmured, her tremulous with tears. “EV hing has been done, he gald. "Will you be ready by eleven? I'll come for you." She clung to him in sllence for a while. At eleven he knocked on her door. She opened it. She wore her black wool gown and a black fur turban.

Then Stormont left her alone there and closed the door. In a terrific snowstorm they burled Mike Clinch on the spot he had se- lected, in order that he might keep a watchful eye upon the trespassing ghost of old man Harrod. It blew and stormed and stormed, and the thin, nasal voice of “Rev. Smatter” was utterly lost in the wind. The slanting lances of snow drove down on the casket, bullding a white mound over the flowers, blotting the hemlock boughs from sight. There was no time to b lost now; the ground was freezing under a veering and bitter wind out of the west. Mr, Liyken's talented assist- ants had some difficulty in shaping the mound which snow began to make into a white and flawless, monument. / The last slap of the spade rang with a metallic jar across the lake, where snow already blotted the newly forming film of ice; the human deni- zens of the wilderness filtered back into it one by one; “Rev. Smatter” got into his sleigh, plainly. concerned about the road; Mr. Lyken betrayed unprofessional haste in loading his wagon with his talented assistants and starting for Ghost Lake, (Continued in Our Next ({Issue) He came back slowly to where Stormont. was standing near the door: R " ‘Jack,” he said, "you can't marry ive on a [Trooper's pay.

You and I can go into business together later if you like.” After a pause: “That’s rather won- derful of you, Jim,” said Stormont, “but you don't know what. sort of business man I'd make—" ‘I know what sort of officer you made . , I'm taking no chance.! s .
