hud experienced periods of uncer

embarraxsmenl the mere memory
of which caused her to shrink nnd
to hide her head. Those were limes
of which, even yet, trim could not

I'oleon came Into the tent for a
second time ami aroused her from
her abstraction. She hastily com
pleted her toilette, and was sitting
curled up on her bed when the
aroma of boiling coffee und the j
sound of frying steak brought her I
lo her feet. With a noisy clatter j
she enthusiastically arranged the,
breakfast dishes.
"How wonderful It Is lo have nn
appetite In the morning!" said she;
then; '"litis is the last time you're
going to cook. You may chop the
wood and build the fires, but 1 shall
attend to the r-Ht. I'm itilte able."
"Mien!" The pilot smiles his
agreement. "Kvcryhody inns' work

With a flourish he poured tlu cof

Kouletta's appetite was all yes,
more than she had declared It to
lie. The liberality with which she
helped herself to oatmeal, her lav
ish use of the sugar spoon, and her
determined attack upon the can of
" "arnntion" satisfied uny lingering
doubts tu I Hirers mind. Her pred

it with the greedy heperulueiis of a

ot u complete recovery und brought

"What is my new sprlse?" she
((ticrled. - But, without answering,

was buck a moment luter with u
