He shrugged.
-Ton mesa that then we couldn't
get out at all?- she asked sharply.
King nodded and began his prepara­
tions. With Jealous eye he Judged the
w eight bulk, and worth of every ar­
ticle. Bacon, to the last small scrap
and fat-lined rind, coffee, to the once-
boiled dregs In the coffee-pot be
'packed carefully. Then he took op
th e discarded articles and hid them
under some loose dirt In a remote,
black corner of the care. Ten minutes
later he had gotten first his pack, then
Gloria, safely down the cliffs, and they
started.
Gloria was upborne at every step by
th* expectation of coming presently to
their borae, and of having nothing to
do from then on bat bold to the pom­
mel and have King lead her on to an
ultimate safety. So when they came
to the spot where King bad tethered
his horse, and there wag no horse
there, Gloria simply collapsed. King
' stared about him with an almost eqaal
; consternation.
Leaving Gloria, be pot down rifle
and pack and harried down Into the
hollow where he bad tethered his
borae. Five minute* of reading the
signs In the snow told him the story.

King came back slowly and sat down
on his pack. His lips tightened. The
afternoon was passing and the dark
would come early.
“Are yon np to crowding ahead on
foot?" he called to Gloria.
She moaned miserably: *T am tick;
1 am dying, I think. I can't go on."
King grunted disgustedly.
“We ll go back to the cave for the

All night King kept his fire blazing.
His nerves were frayed. Wltbin his
soul be prayed mutely that when morn­
ing came Gloria would be alive. With
the first sickly streaks of dawn he
came to stoop over the girl and listen
to ber breathing. Then be descended
the cliffs for more wood.
In the noose of his rope he dragged
np the cliff much dead wood. Through­
out the noise of bis comings and go­
ings tbe girl slept heavily. While he
waited for tbe coffee to boll he took
careful stock of provisions. For two
people there was enough for some
twenty meals, food for about a week.
He even counted his rounds of ammu­
nition; here alone he was affluent. He
had In the neighborhood of a hundred
cartridges for the rifle. While he was
setting the gun asldt. he felt Gloria'»
eye* upon him. He addressed her with
prompt frankness.
"Inside fifteen minutes we've got to
be on our way o u t As we go we'll
look for tbe horse. B u t find it or n o t
we're going.”
"The storm ia over, then?"
“No. But we are not going to w ait
We have food for only six or seven
days, at the m ost”
She let her eyea droop to the fire so
that the lids bid them from him. It
was not yet fall day; it was still snow­
ing. Gratton and the men with him
would, of coarse, have ample supplies.
She yearned feverishly to be rid of
King tn d hla intolerable domineering.
“I am tired out," she said faintly,
still not looking np. "I can’t go on.”
Ha stared at ber. There was a
flash on her cheeks. His old fear

to diet So he did what Gloria had
counted on having him do: he hastened

When at last be came to the grove

Five minute« later she began to stir
restlessly; another five mlnut«« and
already she was listening for his re­
turn. She drew on ber boots and
walked ap and down.

ton. But she could not climb down
the cliff; she knew that she would
fall. Disay and sick, shivering with
dread and cold, she turned back al­
ways.
She let her fire die down, not notic­
ing it. Then the cold reminded her.
and she worked long building another.
She knew where a block of matches
was; she had seen King set It care­
fully away. In her excitement she
struck doxens of matches, dropping (lie
burnt ends about her.
At last her fire blazrj up and she
warmed herself. Then she was con­
scious of a strange faintness and real­
ized that she was hungry. She opened
a tin of sardines and caine back to the
fire with It In her hands. She had no
clear conception of the deed when,
half of the fish consumed, the smelly
staff revolted her and she hurled the
remaining part Into the bed of coals
King stamped the loose snow from
his boots and came In. Gloria stood
confronting him. tense, rigid, white­
faced, her hands stiff at her side*
The surge of her relief, like a sud
denly released current. Impacting with
that other current of her unleashed
snger, made of her consciousness a
sort of wild, fuming whirlpool.
King was tired throughout every
muscle of bis body. Coming In from
tbe storm-cleansed open be sniffed at
tbe closeness of tbe cave. Then he
noted the sardine can. With a stick he
raked It out of the coals.
"In God's name," he demanded,
“what do you mean by a thing like
that? Are you stark, raving m ad?'
For a moment she was at a loss to
understand what had enraged him.
T»>e act of tossing the distasteful food
uto tbe fire had been purely Involun­
tary. She was not without reason; In
their present predicament she was a
fool to nave done a thing like th a t;
she could hardly believe that she had
done It. And so, with an elaborate
shrug of disdainful shoulders, she
turned her back to him.
But King flung to his feet and set
hla hands on her two shoulders and
swung her about.
“Listen to me," he aald angrily.

King awoke filled with resolve and
definite purpose. It was still snowing
heavily, steadily. Implacably. “The big

himself.
He must seek Immediately to locate

“You'd better get up." he said brief
ly. "Time to start the day. While wr

that, if we stuck on here and did not

She bit her lips and gave him her
scornful silence.

crisply that breakfast was ready
There were limits to her obedience,
she thought rebelllously. To be told

“When I want your advice, 1'U ask
for It." she retorted Idly.
“Very well.” he answered. "And I '
