She lived, and with the stubborn tenacity of her na ture she braced herself to endure exist ence, but she neither hoped nor feared anything. She ate and drank and slept. The mechanical routine of the days re peated itself, but she had come to u dead stop. , She had lost all courage, all faith. A bare, blank wall faced her. There was nothing more to lie enjoyed nor suffered. She had had everything and lost everything. If she had consciously recognized all this, there might have been some hope of reaction. When one appreciates the dramatic effect of circumstances, a new interest in new circumstances is apt to be not far off. But Helen was capable of no such attitude toward herself. One saw it in herfface—dark and thin and changeless as a statue’s. She had great dark eyes, but they never varied their dreamy, unheeding look. Her voice was low, soft and monotonous, and yet she was not at all a dreadful person to live with. It was impossible that her story should not cast its shadows over the household, but w’ben it was once settled that Helen’s experience hjjd exempted her from all the ordinary rules that bound the others matters adjusted them selves, as they always do, and the hap ly current of commonplace living flow ed around her undisturbed. She was slender and graceful, strong, too, as these slight built New England women are often enough. At 17 she had not been handsome, but she had had that air of any possibility of beauty which is better than defined prettiness. She was shy, reserved and cold, with the positive, repelling power of strong natures and with the Puritan traditions of training superadded. Under it she was willful, headstrong and passionate, never capable of seeing more than one side of a subject and always glorifying that side with the whole force of a trop ical imagination rigidly repressed and totally ungovarned. It was just then that in a school va cation she visited a friend in one of the shadiest and oldest and steadiest of Connecticut villages. While she was in the house there came out of the south west a young man who claimed blood relationship with the family. It Was just in the days when Bret Harte’s he roes stood foremost in the ranks of pop ularity. The inborn rebellion against sonventionalities in Helen’s blood caught eagerly at the picturesque free dom and-wildness of these characteriza tions. She could not realize that one redeeming trait may not suffice to make a whole life tolerable. Payne Morse was as handsome in his blond way as a young demigod. He had the slow, soft speech of the plainsman; he swotc no oaths, in her presence at least; he con formed to the requirements of a com munity in which a revolver and a lariat rope were alike uncalled for and out landish with a good uatured toleration that had in Helen’s eyes immense pi quancy and magnanimity. Then herode like a centaur, and the accomplishment was so novel in that corner of the hills that it seemed almost like something unlawful and ungodly. Somebody in a wild fit of speculation had shipped east a trainload of mustangs in the illusive hope thut-thoy might be broken foxjise among the quartz ledges. They kicked, they bucked, they sat on their haunches and squealed their wrongs aloud in ev ery variation of the equine tongue, and at last Payne Morse was appealed to, as being only a little less savage than the. mustangs, to .see if ho could do any thing with them. He found himself able and apparent ly enjoyed the work. His fearless rid ing, his quiet, merciless mastership of the untamed lautes, completed the con quest of Helen’s fancy. That was in leafy June. In Septem ber she went back.to school. A mouth later she left the recitation room one day, put on her hat, walked out of the house and to the railroad station. In the next city Payne Morse awaited her. They were married within ths hour, and before sunset they told the story tn the Tryon sitting room. Helen was not defiant She was quiet, rather sad, but no more repentant or regretful than a block of marble. Mr. Tryon recognized the trait by sympathy perhaps. He looked at the two as they stood in the middle of the room. Moth er and sister had withdrawn a little. Helen’s will was a thing that most of the household did withdraw from. She stood by her husband’s side, slight, erect, her hand on his arm, but not leaning on him at alL “You are aware, sir,” Mr. Tryon said, “that this child is a minor? By the law I could take her from you. ” “But you will not?” The question was half assertion. “No, I shall not She has chosen. She must learn life in her own way. 1 shall try to make no difference be tween her and the others, and may the Lord have mercy on you both,” he added half under his breath. For a month the two staid under the home roof. Helen’s mother put down in tuition and instinct with a strong hand, magnified the superficial charms of the man and was able at last to say, “It was irregular, improper, wrong, but we can’t help liking him. ” Helen’s sisters, two of them, really did like him. The careless, easy, uncon scious dash of his manner, his unfailing, elaborate if somewhat florid courtesy, the air of vague romance that seemed to make the atmosphere in which he breathed—all appealed to their ideal of the chivalric and poetic. He did not talk much of himself, but his half im personal stories of wild adventures and reckless daring opened vistas into a lim itless wonderland. Mr. Tryon treated him politely always and never said a word for or against him. Then Helen took the few thousand NEW GOODS ! dollars for which by right she would have waited till she had reached her majority and went with her husband into the then half savage depths of the Colorado cattle ranges. For four years her letters came regu larly. From the very first there had been little of personal record in them. What she hoped or feared, enjoyed or suffered, no one had any way of guessing. It was the kindest thing to read nothing more : than appeared on the surface. But at : the end of that time Payne Morse was tided and sentenced to confinement for I life for participation in a daring train I robbery. She simply sent the papers in which the matter was recorded. Mr. Tryon followed his telegram with all the speed possible. And so Helen Morse came home again, a statuesque shadow of herself—she pnd her baby, of whom the whole family made an ob ject of worship. One more blow remained to fall. A year later the baby died. The newspa- ' per that told its death told, too, the j death of its father, shot While trying to I escape from the prison in which he was ' confined. Helen wore black after that—perhaps for her baby’s death, perhaps for the memory of the man who had treated her with a cruelty she never told nor hinted at, perhaps for herself, because she had outlived everything. At any rate, she went in somber garments, and no one questioned or remarked. And so up to this night, the night of her twenty-fifth birthday, when they were all sitting about the tea table and talking of Harry’s prospects. Harry had bought a share in a Texas ranch, and he and his partner were going to rough it alono in their cabin among the grass and shpep. Harry was enthusiastic, fore stalling a little and unconsciously the character he was to assume by and by. “Now, Mr. Micawber!” Grace said mockingly. “Mother, you ought to give him a tin plate and cup and keep silver forks out of his sight And, Harry, you’ll have to cut the acquaintance of boiled shirts unless you boil them yourself, and then you’ll have spasms over the starch. ” Helen looked up and said in her slow, impassive way, “Why couldn’t I go and keep house for you, Harry?” Silence fell about the table. The idea had never presented itself to one of them, but now all at once it did not seem so impracticable. No fancy of Helen’s ever did for Helen. “I have seen something of the life,” she said. “There is nothing in it that 1 cannot face. I do not mind the solitude, and a house is more comfortable with a woman in it ’’ And so it was settled. She went about her preparations with a straightforward, unhurrying readiness that admitted of little assistance. In 10 days the brother and sister started, and the family felt somehow as if there had been a death as well as a departure. In those days the railroad lines were everywhere incomplete. Helen, alight ing from the train at its farthermost point of advance, found herself with 500 miles of stage riding before her. With her usual silence, she did not even comment on the discomforts of the jour ney. She was the only woman in the great swinging coach. The other pas sengers were men, bronzed and bearded, in flannels and sombreros, and with more or less of the furniture of an armory about them. They paid her a great deal of deferential attention and were assidu ous in supplying every want, real or imagined. And Helen took it all, as she did everything else, with a gentle kind of half unobservant, gravity that seemed to be very puzzling to their minds. On the second day, well among the mountains, swinging down a long in cline among the dark shadows of the pines, there was a sudden, abrupt report of firearms, a plunging, lurching mo tion of the coach, a sudden uproar of voices without, and Helen, crushed down intothe lower corner of thevehicle, with a smothered impression of several tons of kicking humanity over and above her, heard “road agents” uttered somewhere in the mass and knew what had befallen them. One by one the passengers were ex tracted. “There’a lady in there, ” a voice said. “Wo’ll come to her presently. Seat yourselves on that log, gentlemen. Hero sho is. Now, madam, ” offering a diamond ringed white hand. Up rose Helen, as little disheveled as it was possible for a woman to be un der the circumstances, and was assisted up and out by a masked man with the easiest elegance of demeanor. “We are sorry to inconvenience a lady,” a quiet voice said, “but it is one sonfusicn.

The new pine boards were aromatic in the hot sun shine; the conventional requirements of living were reduced to their very sim plest form. It was a solitary enough life for a woman. One of Harry’s experimental gang of Chinese workers had been de tailed to kitchen duties, and the peace of the house was profound. But Helen liked it. Dreamy and silent she was still, but .somehow, little by little, she seemed to come back toward human sympathies and interests.
