After a moment's reat on one of the hooches aba got np again, mom than erer determined on ber quest. At the and of harassing boor aba atood on familiar ground at last a turn nit of emotion anrging all through ber betas, aa recollectlona crowded up thick and faat. Her waa the aame old log upon which they bad aat on that eventful day the day, the very hour of tbett betrothal now crumbling to decay, bnt the very aame nevertbele.

In the distame a coyote's cry sounded distinctly, and a wbote army of minor echoes thronged in 1U wake. ,The pink gray of early morning flung an enchanting rosine over everything, and the air was suddenly vocal with the matutmul chirping of thousands of birds. ITesently tbe girl got up and began to search along tbe side of the lug foi something. Sue came to It at last Any one looking at her Juttt then could have detected that from the unmis takable signs of emotion all at once visible on ber face. Quick tears sprang to her eyes as she looked and splashed unheeded on her interlocked bands. -It C. E. U., June, '(C-June. 'OS." The letters, rout?bIy csrved with a pocketknlfe, were a trIOe eaten away at the edges, but perfectly legible still. "Our wedding day," she murmured softly, touching the crude Inscription with a tender, tremulous finger. "Kick, ZKclc-lf we only hadn'tr For a mo ment she felt as tliouicb she were going to choke. The memory of past bitter nesstheir quarrel, estrangement and final separation came Uon ber suffo catingly, overwhelmingly. Then, with a swift access of pride, she threw back ber head, the mist drying away from ber eyes and leaving them half bard, half regretful, bright as stars. For a full minute she stood there, tall and straight, Immovable as a statue; then she bent suddenly and laid ber check against the rough side of the tog. Almost on the Instant the sharp snap ping of a twig brought ber upright, with a startled movement. Not twen ty feet away. Just visible through tbe Interlaced foliage, a man waa striding rapidly toward her. Tbe girl had Just Cm to gather ber skirts and slip noise lessly behind a screen of bamboo. Despite Ita noucbalance, Cordon's earelesa awing had a decided purpose behind It lie came directly np to tbe erumbllng old log snd stood looking down upon Its crnty surf act with sn lll mcrnt;lble elptVusioa V M keen gray ayea. Presently be, too, stooped and scan ned closely along a certain Una an taa side of tba log. la aa Instant hla face Ut up only to cloud swiftly, while a look of pain made hla clean, clear fea tures look, almost sharp, lie aat down and dropped his face In hla bauds with sort of hopelessness too entire for expression. After a little be lifted bis bead wearily and stared straight ahead of htm nt nothing at all Tb. all at save, be started, paled and Jumped to hla feet, every nerve quivering. On the soft turf exactly In frost of blui were footprints a woman's footprints! Aud a bit further oa lay a tiny scrap of la re, vaguely ehalant of a aubtla odor ber favorite perfume. Uordon stooped quickly aud possess ed himself of tbe handkerchief, la one comer were the lultlals he already ei pected to see there.- lie crashed It against his llpa with a paestonate rash of tenderness, and a wonderful light came Into hla ayea. Deareat at all wa mea." be mused radiantly, "I shall go to the enda of creation to find yoa tf It takes me all tbe eternities to do ttr , . Ths girl held ber bands tightly ever bar heart, leat tiordoa should bear Its turbulent throbbing, tier teeth, caught BBconachiualy over ber Up, left a claaa row at pink IndeutaUuee tor a stag time afterward. ' Aa be turned to coma paat ber aba shrank back a bit and ber foot slipped tatolly. Tba next moment Gordon waa bending over ber, and bla breath, com ing In little quick Jerks, lifted tba Sao hair from ber temples la tiny gold wlepe. v "l-I'm afraid It's going to be serious, Dick. I don't believe I can walk a bit Quite Involuntarily aha bad reverted to the old familiar title. Tbe world seemed to atop revolving for a minute. Then Gordon slipped a firm, strong arm about ber and drew her toward him. "I am gotng to carry you." be said. "But It'a too far. Ton could never la the world get me home" "Less than a quarter of a mile from here la St I.uke's"- gbe toughed a little unsteadily, try ing to smother tbe catch of pain In ber throat "Mr. Applegate Is there right now. I saw him aa 1 came along." be continu ed. "But I dislike to trouble any one wlth"- The reverend gentleman will not 1 assure you, object to being troubled la this way. He likes It Ton sea.
