When they paused be fore, the Countess' tent I'lereo once jm)rn enfolded her In his arms and sheltered her frou the hohncrous breath of the night.

The Countess drew back abruptly with a shiver;' then,' in answer to his uuick concern, snld: , . ."I I think I'm cold." ; .He tindertook to clasp her closer, but she held him orr, murmuring: "Let It he Hilda Halberg for,to. night. Let's not think of lxt's not think nt all. Hilda bride of . the storm. There's a tempest tn my blood, and who can think with a tempest raging?" She raised her face nnd kissed Win upon the lips, then, disengag ing herself once morn from his hungry arms, she slopped Inside her shelter. The lust he saw of her was her luminous smile framed liffainat the black background; thon she let the lent-fly fall.

When Jerry eiime drip ping to the leni door, Tom derided he would poke his hea.il , out Inlo the deluge und then. cry In evident nstonishmenl: "Why, Jerry,, you've been working, hnven't-you'. You're all sweniy!" Mr. Llnlon giggled out loud. That would be a rerine iiietit or sarcasm that would bo a get-back or ihe finest. Jf jerry insisted upon coming in out of ihe wet he'il tell him gruffly to get out or there ond try the Inko for a change. . ' Jtut Mr., Quirk made no move In tho direction or the lent; Instead, ho built a rire In his stovo nnd crouched over it, endeavoring vain ly to sheller himself from the drlv. Ing rain. Llnlon watched him with mingled Impudence and resent, nieni. Would the old fool never get enough? Jerry was tho most unreasonable, the most tantalizing person In the world. . ' ' After a llmo Mr. Linton found that his teeth were chattering and that his rrume had been smitten as by nn ngue: rcluctnntly ho crept buck Into bed. Ho determined to buy, beg, borrow, or steal some more bedding on tho morrow early on tho morrow In order to foreslall Jerry, Jerry would have to find a tent BOmewhere, and in- aamuch us there were none to be hud here til Llnderiuun, he would probably have lo return to Hyea. I 1 Hat would deluy hlin seriously luiough, perhups, so thnt the Juws or winter would close down upon mm. jnrougn the drone of nut lerlng drops there came tho fulnt sound or a cough. Mr. Linton sat up In bed. "Pncu monla!" he exclaimed, voll, Jerry wus gelling exactly what he de served. J lo hud called' him, Tom, an "old fool," a "dum' old fool to he precise. The epithet In Itself jncani noihlng M was In faot fatuous und feelde term ot abuse as compared lo the opprobrious lines which he nnd Jerry were In me mum or cxcltlinglng II was Mint aljomlnuble udjectlve which hurt. Jerry und he hud called each other ninny nanus ut times, uiey nun exenunged nuinerniiH guns and insults, but nothing like inai nalerul word "old" had ever passed between them until this fa lal morning, jerry Quirk himself wus oiu, tho oldest mun In the woriu, perhups, but Tom had oxer. ctsed an udmiruhlo regurd for his partners feelings ond had never oust It up to him. Thus hud his consideration been repaid. How. ever, tho poor fellow's rneo wos about run. for he couldn't stand cold or exposure. Why, a wet foot sent him to bed. How. then, could rickety ruin of his nntlmiltv withstand the ravages of nneiinio. nla gnlloplng pneumonia, nt thut? Linton reflected that eommnn decenoy would demand .. thnt he wait over a day or two nnd help bury the old man people would expect thnt much of him. He'd lo It. He'd apenk kindly of the de. purled; he'd even erect n cross mid write nn epitaph upon II a kindly, lying epitaph extolling the dend man's virtues nnd bniltting all mention or his nulls. Once more thnt hacking cough sounded, nnd the listener sllmi! uneasily, Jerry had some virtues a r'w of the common, elemental unrt he was honest, and he was brave, but, for 'hut matter, so were most people. Yes, the old scoun oicl had nerve enough, Linton re. culled -a certain day, long pnst, when he und tjulrk had been sent out to round up some cattle-rust. lers. Ilelng the vniiiiire.it .it.nnii.... In the sheriff's ofilee. the toughest Join. Invariably r.il to them. Those were the good, glad days, Tom re flected. Jerry had made a repu tallon on that trip and he hnd sav ed Ills companion's life Llnlon flopped nervously In his bed nt the memoiy. 'h ythlnk of days dead ! nnd gone? jerry wus nn alto. geiner nirterent man In those1 tlmo. He neither criticised nor! permuted others to crltlclic Ills' team-mate. and. so far as that par tlenlar ol.llKallon went. Llnlon hud ! repaid It with compound interest. If anything, the debt now lay on' Jerry's side. Tom tried to close the book of1 memory. Why think of .lavs dead whatever except Ihe rankling pres. ent. hut. nov Hint his thmmhis t,a I begun to run backward, he .,.,,11 not head them off. He wh.-,l Jerry wouldn't rough: It was n .its. ; tresslng sound, nnd it disturbed his rest. Nevertheless, thut hollow, harking complaint continued and finally Ihe listener arose, lit a l.n tern, put on slicker and unt!c,i his lent flaps. Jerry's stove wan aiiiling in the partial shelter o( ihe cunvas sheet; over it the owner crouched in ii altitude of cheerless dejection. "How you making out?" Tom In quired, gruffly. Ills voice was cold, i his manner wan both repellent and I n osi ne. I) "Whn. me?" jerry peered tip Irrom under his liltienlnf aou'. wesler. . "Oh, I'm doln' fine! Linton remained silent. III ut ease; water drained off his coat his lantern flured smoklly in the wind. Afler a lime hu ci.-ured his throat and inquired: "Wet?" ' "Nuw!" There ,wua u long pnuse, then the visitor Inquired: "Are you iv- Ing?" "Unh-hunh! ' Again alienee eluiiued both men unlil Tom broke out, Irrliolilv "Well, you aim to set here nil night? "Kiire! I ain't sleepy. I doni mind it little mist and Pin plenty wurm." This cheerful assertlun wus helled by Ihe miserulile quuver In which it was voiced.' "Why .don t you er run over lo my tent ?" Llnlon. gasped and swallowed', .hard. Tim invitation was out,' Ihe 'dantnge . w.ih done. There's lots of. room." ' .Mr. : Quirk ' spared .' his. caller's further, feelings' by. betraying no triumph whatever.. . Itatlier' plain tively he 'declared: -"j got room enough here. It ain't exactly room I need." ' Again; lie coughed.. ' "Here! '. tlet -a 'move on ,you. quick, " Llnlon ordered, - forcefully. "The Idea' or you setting nround hatching out niungrtfl or pneumo nia ;iugs! , Cllt! I'll bring your lie.ldlng,". ,, . i , Mr. Quirk rose with nlncrltv. "Huy! Lei's take mv slove over lo your lent and warm her up. I hot you'ro cold?" '.N-no! I'm comfortable enough." The. upenker's leelh played an ac. compnnlmcnt lo this mendacious denial. "Of course I'm not sweat ing any. hut I .s'pase the utovo would cheer things up, eh? .Hot ton night, ain't It?" Worst I ever sav. Hotten coun try, for thiil matter."' "You said something." Mr. Lin ton chattered. He nodded his bend with vigor. II was wet work moving Jerry's belongings, but Ihe transfer wua fi- nully. effected, the slove was set up and a new fire started. This done, loin brought rorth a bottle of whisky. Here," .sold he, "take u snifter. It'll do you good." I Jerry eyed tho bottle with frank nstonishment befqre he exclaimed: "Why, I didn't know you was a drlnkin' mun. You been hldln' a secret vice from me?" ' "No. And Pin not a drinking man.. J brought It along for you. Ier Hint cough of yours used to worry- me, so" , ,' "l'Xhaw! 1 cough uasy. Yoi know that." . , , , "You take a Jolt nnd" Linton flushed with embarrassment "and I'll have one with you. I wus ly ing Just now; I'm colder 'n u frog's belly." "Happy days." said Quirk, as he lipped the bottle. 'A long life nnd a wicked one!" Llnlon drank In his turn. "Now then, get out or those cold com presses. Here's some dry under clothes thick, too.

'You'll do nothing of the eort." Jerry declared, an ho removed his sodden garments and hung them up. "louil crawl right into bed with me. and we'll have a good sleep. You're near dead." Hut Linton wna by no means re assured; his tone was querulous when he cried: "Why didn't you come In before vou caught cold? ft'pose you get Btrk, on mo; now? Hut you won't. I won't retj iytou.'

The other shook orf the grasn and undertook to rend the labels on the bailies, but they hnd h. come unncroiiiitnhly blurred nnd there wus a painful lump In his throat.
