Time waa a thing now her comprehension, Night all the natural and accustomed di visions of time, were gone for her. She felt at the hands of her little wateh, but found her mind confused | —she could not remember whether it was the stem or the hinge which meant noon or midnight She stumbled back to her seat be hind the table, near the bunk, and tried to take up her knitung again. The allence seemed to her #o tremen dous that she listened intently for some sound, any sound. Came only the twitter of a little nearby bird, the metallic clank of a meadow lark rons the meadows, They at friendly, these birds. Bhe could have kissed them, held them clone to her, these new friends Tut why did he not come back— the man? What was going to happen if he did come back? How long would all this last? Must ft come to death, or to the acceptance of ter- for of of share, as the price of tife? She began to face her problem with & nort of stolid courage or resolution —she knew not what to call it. She was at bay—that was the truth of it There must be some course of action upon which presently ahe munt deter ine, What could It be? How could take arms against her new, vast f troubles, far more great than falls to the average an, mo matter how ill, how afflicted, how un ft for the vast, grim conflict which ends at last at the web? One way out would be to end life) itself. Her in t. her religious | training, her p ples, her faith, re. | belied against that thought ‘Then she must go back to the East. whence she had come?—Even if «reat hearted Annie would listen to| that and take her back, where was| the money for the return pasnnge? What, then, was left? Only the man Mimeelf. And in what capacity? Husband; er what? And if not a hus band, what? a's No, she resolved. She would accept duty as the price of life, which j also wan a duty; but she would never relax what always to her had meant | life, had been a part of her, the prin-| ciples ingrained in her teachings and) her practices, ever since she was a} child. No, it was husband or noth-| ing. | And surety Ne had been afl tha? he} had sald he would be. He was kind ly, he was chivairous; he had proved | that. She wondered how he looked. And what had she now to offer for perfection in a man? Was she not| reduced to the bargain counter, in the very basement of lite? If #0,! what must be her bargain here? And then she recalled the refusal of Sim Gage himself to.think of mar- | riage. He had said he was not good enough for her. How could she then marry him, even if she so wished? Must she woo him and perwuade hum, | argue with him? All her own vir ginal soul, all the sanctity of her life, rebelled against that thought, also. | Such are some of the questions « woman must ask and answer, be }cause she is a woman. They are! | hud he | charred at one end, but one man for one woman, woman for a man, in all the Annie must have been right. Propin: quity did it-—-was that not why men and women nearly always married in their own village, their own social circle? Well, then, here was propin quity, Object, matrimony! Would ppinquity solve all this at bast, as thix were a desert inland, they two alone remaining? God! Hours or moments later —ahe could ng have told which —she rained her head suddenly, What was it that she There was a cough, a footfall in the yard Oh, then he was coming home! Why not have the whole thing out now, over once and for all? She felt the ight in the door dark en, knew that some one was stand ing there. But something, subcon scloun, out of her new, dark world something, she could not tell what told her thix wan not Bim Gage. She reached out her hand tnetine- tively, By mere chance it fell upon the heavy revolver in ite holster which Bim had hung upon the po! ward the head of the bed, and stum- bling into her rude box chair, nat there, the revolver held loosely in her hand. She knew Iittle of its ac Uon,. She heard a heavy step on the floor, that did not sound familiar, & clearing of the throat which was yet more unfamiliar, a laugh which! was the last thing needed. ‘This man had no business there, else he would not have laughed “Whos there?” she called out, tremulously, “Who are you?’ Bhe turned on him her sightless eyes, a vast terror in her soul, “Good, morning,” said a throaty, Voice. She could fairly hear him grin, “How's everything this morning? Where's your man this morning?” “He's—just across in the meadows —he'll be back soon,” said Mary War- ren “In that #07 T seen him 10 miles down the road just a while back.

Drop it!” ‘ “Come a step further, and I'll shoot!" said Mary Warren. And then, altho he did not know that she was sightieas, he saw on her fuce that look which might well warn him. Any ruMan knows that a wom- an if more apt to shoot than is a man ‘This ruMan paused now half way inside the door and looked about him. A grin spread across his wide, high-cheeked face. He reached down silently to the stout spruce stick, that stood be tween him and the stove. Grasping it he advanced on tiptoe, silent as a cat, toward the woman. Ho was con. vinced that her sight was poor, al most convinced that she did not see at all, because she made no move when he stopped, the stick drawn back. With a swift sweep he struck the barrel of the revolver a blow a0’ forceful that it was cast quite across the room. He sprang upon It at once. “Sim!" she called out aloud, “sim! Sim? The name caused a vast mirth in her captor. “Sim! Sim!” her. “Lot 0° help Sim'd be if he was here, wouldn't he? As tho I cgred for that dirty loafer! He's going to git all that's coming to him!
