T was on the girl's fifteenth birth day. They bad come np to the top of the ridge on which be bad fouKbt the mlMtlonary, to gather red sprlirs of the bskneesn for the fes tival that they were to have In the cabin that nliibt High up on the face of a Jawed rock Jan saw a bit of the crimson vine thrusting' Itself out Into the sun. and, with Melius laughing and enconraiHiig him from below, be climbed up until be bad secured It lie tossed It down to ber. "It's the last one." abe cried, seeing his disadvantage, "and I'm going borne. You can't catch me." Jan slackened bla steps. It waa a Joy to see Mellsse springing from rock to rock and darting across the tbtn openings close ahead of blm. ber hair loosening and sweeping out In the sua. ber slender flgtire fleeing with the light ness of the pale sun shadows that ran up and down the mountain. lie would not bave overtaken ber of bis own choosing, but at the foot of the ridge Mellsse gave up. Never bad be seen ber so beautiful, still daring blm wltb her laugh, quivering and panting, flinging bark ber bnlr. Half reaching out bis anna, he cried: "Mellsse. you are beautiful yon are almost a woman! If you did your hair np like the picture we have In the books you would be a woman," be an swered softly. "You are more beauti ful than the plot n rear "Ton say tbnt I am pretty and that I am almost a woman." abe pouted. "and yet" She sbrugged her shoul ders at him In mock disdain. "Jan Thorean. this Is the third time In the last week that yon hare not played the game right 1 won't play wltb you any more" In a flash be was nt her side, her fare between his two hands, and. bending down, be kissed her upon ths mnntu. "There." she said aa be released her. "Isn't that the way we bave played it tver since I can remember? Whenever you catch me you may have that" I am afraid, Mellase." be said se riously. "You are growing so tall and to pretty that 1 am afraid." Afraid: My brother afraid to klsa me! And what will you do when 1 get to be a woman, Jan, which will be very soon, you say 5" "1 don't kuow, Mellsse." She turned ber back to him and flung out ber balr, and Jan. who had done this same thing for ber a hun dred tlmea before, divided tbe silken mass Into three strands aud plaited them Into a braid. I don't believe that you care for me aa much as you used to, Jan. 1 wish were a woman, so that I might know If you are going to forget me eutlrely." Her shoulders trembled, and when be bud tlulsbed his task he found that she waa Inugulug and that her eyes were swimming with a new mischief which she was trying to bide from him. In that laugh there was some thing which was not like Mellsse. Slight as tbe change was he noticed It; but Instead of displeasing him, It set a vague sensatlou of pleasure trilling like a new aong within him. When they reached tbe post Mellsse went to the cabin wltb her bakoeesb and Jan to the company's store, where be met Jean de Gravois. "Blessed saints, man, but Is she not growing more beautiful every day I" said Jean. "Yes," said Jan. "She will soon be a woman." "A woman!" shouted Jean, who, not having bis caribou whip, jumped up and down to emphasise his words. "She will soon be a woman, did you sny, Jan Thoreau? And If she is not a woman at thirty with two children God fend others like them! when will she be, I ask your "1 meant Mellsse," laughed Jan. "And I meant lowaka," said Jean. Be bopped out like a cricket overbur dened with life, calling loudly to bis wife, who came to meet him, and say ing to Jan: "Hurry to the cabin, Jan, and see what sort of n birthday gift Mellsse bus got for you." iv ,' W- Copuriaht, 1911. bu the Bobbs Merrill Co. 'The big room wss empty when Jan rsme quietly through tbe oiien door. Ue stopped to listen and caught faint laugh from tbe other room and then another, and to give warning of bis presence he coughed loudly snd scraped chair along the floor. A mo ment's silence followed. The farther door opened a little, and then It opened wide, and Mellsse came out .now. wnat ao you tblnk of me, brother Jan?" She stood In the light of tbe window. through which csme tbe afternoon sun. ber balr piled in glistening colls upon tbe crown of ber bead as tbey bad seen them In tbe pictures, ber cheeks flush ed, ber eyes glowing questlonlngly at Jan, Yon are prettier than I bave ever seen you, Mellsse." be replied softly. "If I am prettier and you like me this wsy, why don t you" She finished Wltb a sweet, upturned pouting of ber mouth, and with a and den. laughing cry Jan caught ber In his arms and kissed the lips she beld op to blm. It waa but an Instant and be freed ber. a bot blush burning In bis brown cheeks. My dear brother!" she laughed at blm, gathering up tbe bakneesb oo tbe table. "I love to have you kiss me, and now I have to make you do It Father kisses me every morning when he voes to the store. I remember when yon used to kiss me every time you came borne, but now you forget to do it at all. Do brothers love tbelr sisters less as they grow older?" "Sometimes they love the sister less and the other girl more. Mellsse," came quick voice from the door, and Jean de Gravois bounded In like a playful cat scraping and bowing before Jie- llsse until bla bend nearly touched the floor. "Lovely . sulnts, Jan Tboreau, but she a a woman. Just as my Iowa' ka told me!" "You're terribly In love. Jean." cried Mellsse, laughing until her eyes were wet; "just like some of the teople In the books which Jan and I read." "And I always shall be. my dear." Mellsse flung tbe red shawl over her bead, stilt laughing. "1 will go to see .her, Jeon." "Well," said Grnvols, looking search Ingly at Jan when she hnd.left "shall I give yon my best wishes, Jan Too reriu? Does It signify 1" "Slgnlfy-what?" The little Frenchman's eyes snapped. "Why, when our pretty Cree maiden becomes engaged she puts up her hair for the first time; that la all, my dear Jan." He stopped suddenly, startled Into silence by the strange look that bad come Into tbe other's face. For a full minute Jan stood as If the power of movement bad gone from him. "No: It means nothing." he said Anally, speaking as If the words were forced from him one by one. lie drop ped into a chuir beside tbe table like one whose senses hud been dulled by an unexpected blow. "Jan Thoreau." whispered Jean soft ly, "have you forgotten that It was I who killed the mlssloner for you. snd that through all of these years Jean de Gin vols hits never questioned you about the light on. the mountain top? Is there anything Jean de Gravois can do?" He sat down opposite Jan. bis thin, eager fare propped in bis bands, and watched silently until the other lifted bis head.' Their eyes met, steady, mi (ITlichliig, and In tlint look there were the oath and tbe seal of all that the honor of the big snows held for tho' iwo- Still without words Jon reached with in his breast and drew forth the little roll which he bad taken from his vio lin.

White faced, the two men stared, Jan's throat twitching, Gravois' brown fingers crushing the rolls be held.

"I understand." replied Jean In low voice. "I understand and I praise tbe Mnwed Virgin that It waa Jean de ilravols who killed tbe nihwlouer out upon ihe he of Ijic Bain!" "Hut tbe other." persisted Jan, "the other, which says that 1" "Stop!" cried Jean sharply. He ram around tbe table and seized Jan's hands In tbe Iron grip of his III be, brown fingers. "That Is something for you to forget It means nothing noth ing at all. Jan Tboreau! Does any one know but you and me?" "No one. I Intended that some day Mellsse and her father should know, but I waited too long. I waited nntll I was afraid, nntll tbe horror of telling ber frightened me.

With an shaurd bow In tbe direction of tbe laughing voices wblcb tbey now hi'nrd. the melodramatic little French man pulled Jan to the door.
