"If she's in the canon 'twon't make no difference. to her w'ether we finds her tomorrer or next day or next year, Bob." Maitland groaned in anguish. "I can't stay here inactive," gisted stubbornly "It's a hard thing, but we got wait till mornin'. Ef she got out of the canon and climbed up on the hog back she'll be all right, she'll soon find out she can't make no progress in this mist and darkness. No, old friend, we're up agin it hard. We jest got to stay the night w'ere we are an' as long as we got to wait we might as well make ourselves as comfortable as possible. For the wimmen an' children, anyway. I fetched up some ham and some canned goods and oth- he per We might kindle a fire "It's hardly possible," said Mait land. "We shall have to eat it cold." "Oh, Robert," pleaded his escaped?" "Possible, yes. but--" "We won't give up hope, ma'am," said Kirkby, "until tomorrer w'en we 've had a look at the canon' Ry this {ime the others joined the party.

There was no shelter and it was not until early they the attempt was tion over very carefully. They were two days' journey from the wagons. It was necessary that the women and Kirkby badn't been able to save much more than enough to eat to get them back to a ranch or settlement, arf on very short rations at best. It was finally decided that George and Pete the youngster, should go back to the meet Maitland and Kirkby, who would meanwhile search the canon go back with the others, although to remain with the two who were to take up the hunt for Enid. Maitland might have kept them with him. but that meant retaining a larger portion of the scanty supplies that had been saved and he was compelled against his will th refuse their requests. Leav- ing barely enough to subsist Maitland and Kirkby for three or four days. or until the return of the relief party the groupe separated at daybreak. "Oh. Robert" pleaded his wife, ar he kissed her good bye, "take care 'of yourself, but find Enid." "Yes," answered her husband, shall, never fear, but 1 must find the dear girl or discover what has become of her." There was not time for further leave taking. A few handclasps from man to man and then Robert Mait- land, standing in the midst of the group, bewed his head in the sunny morning, for the sky again was clear, and poured out a brief praver that God 'would prosper them, that they would find the child and that they would all be together again in health and happiness And without another word, he and Kirkby plunged down to the side of the canon, the others tak. ing wp their weary march homeward with sad hearts and in great dismay CHAPTER VIL A Telegram and a Caller. "You say," asked Maitland, as they surveyed the canon, "that she went. down the stream?" "She said she was goin' down. 1 showed her how to cut across the mountains an' avoid the big bend. I've didn't go w'ere she said" "Nevertheless." said Maitland, "it is barely posgible that she may have changed her mind and gone yp the canon."

Maitland nodded., He understood. "We'd better go down, then," con: tinued Kirkpy, whose reasoning was flawless except that he made no al- lowance for the human-divine interpo- sition that had been Enid Maitland's salvation, "an' if we d6uw"t find no trace of her 'down stream, we kin some back heére an' go up." «It was a a desperate journey the two men fi One of them tok! ls level, | to | er eatin's in these yere canvas sacks. | wife, { "isn't it possible that she may have | ing of its dangers and indifferent to | what they did know, but as Kirkby | Maitland bitterly ! got no reason to suspicion that she .|stomac other tramped along In (Ne MOUNtaIms high above the high water mark of the day before. If they had needed any evidence of the power of that clondburet and storm, they found it In the canon. In some places where it | was narrow and rocky the pass had | been fairly seonred; at other places the whole aspect of it was changed. the place was a welter of uprooted trees, logs jammed together in fah- tastic shapes; it was as if some wan- ton besom of destruction had swept the narrow rift. Ever as they went they called and called. The broken obstructions of the way made their progress slow. What they would have passed over ordinarily in half a day, they had not traversed by nightfull and they had seen nothing. They camped that night far dowh the canon and in the morn- ing, with hearts growing heavier ev- ery hour, they resumed their search About noon of the second day they came 10 an immense log jam where the stream now broadened and made a sudden turn before it plunged over a fall of perhaps two hundred feet mto the lake. It was the end of their guest. If they did not find her there, they would never do so. With stili hearts and bated breath they climbed cut over the leg jam and scrutinized i" A brownish gray patch concealed beneath the great pives caught their eyes.

Further on the two men caught sight suddenly of a dash of blue. Kirkby stepped over to it, lifted it in his hand and silently extended it to Maitland. It was a sweater, a woman's sweater. They recognized it at once. The old man shook his head. Maitland groan- ed aloud. : "See vere," raid Kirkby, pointing to the ragged and torn garment where evidences of discoloration still re mained, "looks like there'd bin blood on it." "Great that bear; that." "W'atever it is, she's gone," the old man with solemn finality. "Hér body may be in those there----" : " "Or in the lake," answered Kirkby, gloomily, "but w'ere ever she ig we can't git to her now." "We must come back with dynamite to break up this jam and----" "Yep," nodded the old man, "we'li do all that, of course, but now, afte we search this jam o' logs I gues: God!" cried Maitland, I'd 'rather anything "not than said logs MOTHER!

They had t camp another day, and next mornin: they hurried straight over the moun taigs, reaching the settlement almost as soon as the others. Maitland with furious energy at once organized a re lief party. They hurried back to the logs, tore the jam to pioves, searche¢ it carefully and found nothing. Te drag the lke was impossible. It was hundreds of feet deep and while they worked it froze. The weather had changed some days hefore,' heavy snows had already fallen: they had to get out of the mountains without further delay or else be frozen up to die. Then and pot till then did Mait- land give up hope. He had refrained from wiring to Philadelphia, but when he reached a telegraph line some ten days after the cloudburst, he sent a long message east, breaking to his brother the awful tidings And in all that they did Kirkby, two ol the shrewdest and most experienced of men, showed with singular exactitude how easy it is for the wisest and most capable of men to make mistakes, to leave the plain trail, to fail to deduce the truth from the facts presented. Yet it is difficult to point to a fault in thelr reasoning. or to find anything left un- done in the search! Enid had started down the canon; near the end of it they had discovered one of her garments which they could not conceive any reason for!/her tak- ing off. It was néar the battered body of one of the biggest Grizzlies that either man had ever seen, it had evi- dence 'of blood stains upon it; they had found no body, but they were as profoundly sure that the man- gled remains of the poor girl lay with. in the depths of that mountain lake as if they had actually seen her there. The logic wag all flawless. It so hagened that on that Novem- ber morning, when the telegram was approaching him, Mr. Stephen Mait- land had a caller. He came at an un- usually early hour. Mr. Stephen Maitland, who was no longer an early riser, had indeed just finished his breakfast when the card of Mr. James Armstrong of Colorado was handed to him. 'This, I suppvse." he thought test: ily, "is one of the results of Enid's wanderings into that God-forsaken land. Did you ask the man his busi: ness, James?' he said aloud to the footman. "Yes, sir. He said he wanted to seo you on important business, and when I made bold to ask him what busi ness} he said it was none of mine, and for me to take the message to you, sir." "Impudent," growled Mr. Maitland. "Yes, sir, but he iz the kind of a gentleman you don't talk back to, sir." "Well, you go back and tell him that you have given me hig card, and I should lke to know what he wishes to see me about, that I am very busy this morning and unless it is a mat- ter of importance---~you understand?" "Yes, sir." "I- suppose now I shall have the whole west unloaded upon me; every vagabond friend of Robert's and peo- ple who meet Enid," he thought, but hig reveries were shortly interrupted by the return of the man. "If you please, sir," began James hesitatingly, as he re-entered the room, "he says his business is about the young lady, sir." "Confound his impudence!" ex- claimed Mr. Maitland, moré and more annoyed at what he was pleased to characterize mentally as western as- surance. "Where is he?" "In the hall, sir." "Show hig into the library and say I shall be down in a moment." "Very good, sir." It was a decidedly wrathful individ- ual who confronted Stephen Maitland a few moments afterward in the li- brary, for Armsirong was not accus- tomed to such 'cavalier treatment, and had Maitland been other than Enid's father he would have given more out- ward expression at his indignation over the discourtesy in his reception. "Mr. James Armstrong, I believe" began Mr. Maitland, looking at the card in his hand. "Yes, sir." "Er--from Colorado?" "Ahd proud of it." "Ah, I dare say. I believe-you wish. ed to see me about--" "1 "Your daughter, sir." "And in what way are you concern: ed about her, sir?" "I wish to make her my wife." "Great God!" exclaimed the older man in a voice equally divided be- tween horror and astonishment. "How dare you, sir? You amaze me beyond measure with your infernal impudence." "Excuse me, Mr. Maitland," inter posed Armstrong quickly and with great spirit and determination, "but where I come from we don't allow anybody to talk to us in this way You are Enid's father and a much old. er man than I, but T can't permit you to---" "Sir," said astounded Maitland, drawing himself up at this bold flout. ing, "you may be a very worthy young mau, I have no doubt of it, but it is out of the question.
