HK.it. n-t(tAMd The naturalist waa vaguely disturbed. He paddled back to camp slowly with listless stroke, as If he were prone to turn back. Now and then he ceased paddling and gated thoughtfully through the darkening underbrush of the woods. Ited twilight waa falling, and against the flaming western sky the tree tope made sharp, black silhouettes. Beneath the pluea the blubtack shadows were deepening. Countless voices drifted out to htm drowsily the atlll air, but the naturalist gave m heed to the sub limity of the approaching forest night nor did be hew toe gentle drone Into which the myriad voltes blended them selves. The only vision hit eyes beheld was that of a smlltrvg, graceful girl waving a white hand to him from the eloping bank by the camp, add the only sound in hla ears waa hr Henry laughter as she stood by her father's side and shouted a goodby. It waa because of this that the natu ralist waa vaguely disturbed. Hereto fore the wood and their occupants had chained hla'emj thought Now be was aware that rvary primary thought centered about the girl and that every thing else was hut a sorry second to her. The naturalist had been In the woods all winter. It was hlf Intention to cor rect several fallacies absurd, but none the less popular concerning the bea ver. With this Idea In, mind be had ! built a camp on the upper waters of the Little Otter, wltbln easy reach of several promising beaver dama, and here he and his two guides bad passed the winter. A very profitable winter the naturalist had considered It, for by close observation he hsd proved be yond the shadow of a doubt that the beaver was much maligned to the pop ular science of fh day. He was bully preparing a book to be brought out In the early summer giving the beaver hla doe and undeceiving that portion of the reading publV which thirsts for natural history In a popular vein. In the late rprtng, when the natural ist waa writing the last few chapters of his book, Colonel Strong bad come op to the Little Ofter for trout and salmon. The colonel's camp wss a mile below the naturalist's a distance Inconsequential to so strong a paddler as the latter. The colonel had brought with blm his daughter, a tactful, THal OIBL OAVC VIM A OAT WkLOOMB. charming girl, wtrh a frank enthusiasm for the wilderness In general and the Little Otter In particular. Bloce Miss Strong's advent Into tht wilderness the beavers bad suffered gross neglect Those last few chap ters of "The Beaver as He Really Is" progressed but slowly. The naturalist ought bis desk only late at night or at odd hours In the early morning. The rest of the time he was at the colonel's camp. He took Hiss Strong to the beaver dama to explain to her the Intricacies of their construction; he taught her the peat casts for trout and salmon; be paddled her to the salmon boles up and down the stream. And all this tlme a realisation grew upon the nat uralist that the woods and their occu pants were not sufficient to his hap piness. Three weeks went by all too quickly. The colonel had announced his Inten tion to start for home two days later. As the naturalist paddled homeward In the red twilight he became suddenly aware that two (Says later the woods would be quite different This great calm, comforting forest would become a hateful, sterile desert without Miss Strong. The naturalist dug bis paddle viciously into the water. "Great BcottI This lmtecile mooning must be stopped here and now I" He hurried te remaining distance berk to camp tod endeavored to con centrate bis mind on the long neglect ed conclusion of bis book. But con centration Is difficult when the forest Is enshrouded In a soft spring night After an hour's fruitless labor the naturalist stalked down to the bank of the stream and lighted his pipe. He aid many thlnga about beavers that you will search (or vainly In his pub llshod work, ltiat on the lmuk until the round utoott, Hearing the full, came creeping above) the tree tope. Then he suddenly arwe with the air of mail considerably startled. "tlood heavens," lie said, with odd anxiety in his voice, "I'm lu love wltb the girl!" Two minutes Inter the canoe slid noiselessly Into the water, and tut naturalist paddled down atreasu with unseemly haste. Aa he came around the bend above the colonel' camp be saw the girl sit ting quite alone ticfor a smoldering Dre near the bank. He paddled to tht bank and pulled up hla canoe. The girl gave him a gay welcome, "Hut you said when you left at sun set that yuud becu neglecting yout beavers," she reminded him. "Areu' you ueglectlug them now)" "Yes, I am. aald he. 'Tin coin pletely out of harmony with every thing here. A disturbing element has crept Into the wilderness." The girl raised her brows. "It's you," said the naturalist abort "IT ahe questioned, "Yea. you," said he. "The forest used to be sufficient t me. Now Isn't" "I'm sorry," she aald euletly. "And I'm not," said be, with vehe mence. She turned and regarded him archly "Remember," she mid. quoting a for mer remark of hla, "Ibe beaver has been grosaly mlarepreetnted.' " "it him coutlsue to be," said tht naturalist There was silence for a moment. Then the naturalist came nearer the fire and stood looking down at the girl. "I wish I were a poet Instead of scientist" aald he. "WhyT she asked. "I want to toll ydu I love you, and scientific research doesn't seem to qualify one for such as undertaking,1 be aald. The girl laughed nervously. She studied the toe ef her shoe for a pe riod.

There was a long, coutlnuous wooden ladder reaching to the bottom, with its every twelfth rung of iron to atrengthen the structure. Down thla be sped.
