U''s a Scotchman a idem, sour ol.lj reflections of the sunset across the river as they touched a twisting creek with opalescence and gave a celestial shimmering; beauty to the fresh green of the reeds, Hermann, his eldest friend, his hair shining and his face red from a recent plunge Into the wat er basin, dropped upon the ground be side him and gave the scene the ap proval of a long survey as he filled ills pipe. Across the river the marshes and an upland stretch, with wooded patches, crept to ihe blue line of the hills. But on the ennip side there was nothing but a narrow crescent of beach be tween the water and the gloom and mystery of unbroken rising forest. "Not bad, eh, Todd?" said Hermann finally. The doctor nodded. "Admit you've muffed It not coming up here before. I tell you, these two weeks each spring make a new man of me, make me able to go on with the grind in the city" , "Until July and Southampton," laughed the doctor. Then he added quietly, "It is a good place: I I knew It before." "What: And never come?" ''JCo." The monosyllable was abrup ter than even the taciturn doctor's usually were. After St he relapsed Into a fit of musing undisturbed by Her man's stare, until finally that gentle man forgot his surprise and the theme that had occasioned it Then Todd spoke again. "We came up here three seasons running, when we were boys," he said, "Walter and I, with the governor. That is, Walter was a boy .of seventeen the last time twelve years ago. I was older than I've ever been since twenty-four and just out of the medical school. He knew how to give boys a good time, Hermann, our dad." Hermann hid an amazed face in a cloud of smoke. When before had Todd ever spoken of Walter? "Of course," he ventured after a minutti, "you've never come upon any trace of him of Walter?" "No. It was that that killed the old man, Hermann. He was only fif ty-eight when he died, and there was no earthly cause for it but just that one brooding upon Walter." "Young scoundrel!" growled Hermann. crAHing cttck!e, f an upproach through the woods, l'lerre, one of (he guides arose and advanced cautiously. The men ceased their talk and raised their heads to listen. The noise came near er, and nearer and. with a final burst of the detaining underbrush, a woman appeared on the edge of the camp. In the golden rosy glow of the fire she was seen to be young, with the slim grace of youth and w lldness; her uncovered head was a glorious tangle lie had tils ivasons ' woods like most of fellow. I fancv for taking to :li us." "Kon't- Walter," begged his broth. -r. ! "I came up here to-day (o see the old mill on business, Hut he and Mum I'Vrmismi uviv Loth gone in to Caribou Corners.

Now (e par; fear, part defiance, seemed black. From her head swung an unlighted lantern. Is there- Is there some one here w h could help a sick man?" she quavered. "Where?" asked Hermann ,as Dr. Todd pushed toward the front of the group. "Back in the woods, in our cabin. It's about three miles." "I didn't know there was a settle ment anywhere In this district," said Hermann. "There ain't. There's only our place. Will anybody come? He's hurt he's broke his leg he goes out of his head with the pain an' talks crazy. An' there's no one at home but me." "How did you know we were here?" asked someone. "They said, down at Caribou Cor ners that Pierre had taken out a par tjf of fishermen, an' Pierre always camps here. Will anybody come?" she asked, impatiently. "I am a physician," said Dr. Todd; "I will go with you. Is there a good trail r "Xo trail at all, but I know the clearest way. Please come quick." Hermann offered to accompany them, but the girl cried out in a fever of anxiety, "The more that comes the longer it will take," and Todd nodded his comprehension of he Impatience. He ran Into the tent, seized the case of instruments and remedies which long experience had taught him to make as His l:;de- me cNcrythmg aboutl - homo " ! voice caressed the .Td with : scrihable affection.

"You don't understand," said the doctor quickly. "It it was an ugly affair. Walter was only nineteen when it happened, and it wasn't his fault. You remember him, Hermann the most impulsive, sensitive, high spirited young fellow. You know the kind of pride he had three pans youth and a conviction that the world was made for him. Well it was a money mix-up a nasty thing. He'd been pretty wild and idle and spend thrift at college the year before, and the old man thought to sober him down by putting him to work in the office that summer. There was a big mis appropriation, and Sears father's old head clerk proved it on him on Wal ter. I don't know why I am talking like this, Hermann. God knows I nev er opened my lips about the affair be fore. I suppose it's the place, and remembering him as hc; was then the gayest, the warmest-hearted boy, cra zy over the woods " Hermann, at the sudden break in his old friend's voice, developed an in terest in the farthest ridge of hills across the river. By and by he growl ed out something that might be in terpreted as "Go on." "Walter took it Lord! can't you see how he would take it, Hermann? You know boys' heroics. I think father's disbelief in him not his anger broke Walter's heart. And the promise flung at him that it would all be hushed up that was the final blow. He walk ed out of the house. Father said, bit terly, "Let him go,' and made no effort to get him back, to look for him any thing. I looked everywhere couldn't find a trace. Then when Sears was found out the thievjng hound we did try: all the regular channels friends and college, and finally detectives But no one knew not even Christine Lelland they were rather sweet on eacW other, a sort of boy-and-girl chumship. I've always thought that was why she never married" "Oh, you have, have you?" interjec ted Hermann. Dr. Todd noddel ab sently. "Man alive half the town believes she's only waiting for you to ask her these ten years!" cried his friend. "Half the town doesn't know Chris tineor Walter," retorted the doctor, hotly.

They picked their way through the' tangle of the woods, the lantern's little j bar cf light just before their feet throw! ing all the world beyond into deeper j blackness. At first the doctor essay- j ed to ask questions, but not only was, the girl reticent but she led him along i the ascent at a speed which left no! breath for conversation. He only learned that it was not one of her own family whem he was called upon to aid. Yet he gained an Impression of her tense ar.d passionate interest in the patient. They came by and by to a clearing with th square of a cabin bulked darkly in it. Through the window cut In the logs and through the cracks in the door a rudy light gleamed. She the door a ruddy light gleamed. She found himself in a spacious square room. At one end a fire glowed In the great fireplace of unchiseled stories.

A pair of frank blue eyes, that seemed to contain all the brilliant sapphire of the northern skies and lakes in their depths, stared up at him. He drew his hands across his own eyes as though to brush away a mist. The man on the coat half rose upon an elbow. Th clenched lips fell open, "Walter!" "Jim!" The girl came close to the cot as the brothers recognized each other. She stared savagely at the man she had brought to the cabin. Her dark eyes blazed, her bosom heaved, her lips grew white with emotion.
