David came up quietly to the door of the smok compartment where he had left Father Roland The Little Missioner was huddled in his corner near the window. His head hung heavily forward and the shadows 'of his black Stetson concealed his face, He was apparently . His hands, with their strangely developed joints and fingers, lay loosely upon his knees. For fully half a minute David looked 'at him without moving or making a sound, and as he looked, Something warm and living ed to reach out from the lonely re of the wilderness preacher that fill- ed him with a strangely new feeling of companionship. Again he made no effort to analyze the change in himself; he accepted it as one of the two or three inexplicable phenomena this night and the storm had pro- duced for him, and was chiefly con- cerned In the fact that he was no longer oppressed by that torment of aloneness which had been a part of his nights and days for so many months. He was about to speak when he made up his mind not to disturb the other. Bo certain was he that Father Roland was asleep that he drew away from the door on the tips of his toes and re-entered the coach. He did not stop in the first or sec- ond car, though there were plenty of empty seats and people were rousing themselves into more cheerful activ- - When: his eyes Pod agg ual sort of way disappointed. el i: i 2858, ii sEf 8s ei £ f it Ie sii) He FFs ? 3 ii f i i i smoking compartment.

He was [on his feet, his haiids thrust deep down into his trousers pookets, and he was whistling softly as David came in, His hat lay on the seat. It was the first time David had seen his round rugged, weather-reddened face without the big Stetson. He looked younger and yet older; his face, as David saw it there in the lamp-glow, had something in the ruddy glow and deeply-lined strength of ti that was almost Potul.

"A niskuk * said David. "Yes--a gray goose." "Don't you have crows?" "A few; but they're as crooked in flight as they are in morals. They're scavengers, and they hang 'down pretty close to the line of rail--close to civilization, where there's a lot of scavenging to be done, you know." For the second time that night David found a laugh on his lips, "Then--you don't like civiliza- tion?" "My heart is in the Northland," re- plied Father Roland, and David saw the sudden change in the other's face, a dying out of the light in his eyes, a tenseness that came and went like a flash at the corners of his mouth, In the same moment he saw the Mis- sloner's hand tighten, and the fingers knot themselves curiously and then slowly relax. One of these hands dropped on David's shoulder, and Father Roland became the questioner. "You have been thinking, since you left me a little while ago?" he asked. "Yes, asleep." "I haven't been asleep. I have been awake every minute. & thought once that I heard a movement at the door but when I looked up thers was no one there. You told me to-day that you were going west--to the British Columbia mountains?" David nodded. Father Roland sat down beside him. "Of course you didn't tell me why you were going," he went on. "I have @ my own guess since you told I came back. But you were has me about the woman, David.

He reached an arm past David and pointed to the night beyond the car window. "You mean the storm, and the snow" "Yes; storm and snow, and sun- shine, and forests--the tens of thou- aands of miles of our Northland that you've seen only the edges of. That' what I mean. But, first of all'-- | and again the Little Missioner rubbed his hands--*'tirst of all, I'm thinking of the supper that's waiting for us at Thoreau's. Will you get off and have supper with me at the French- man's, David? After that, if you de- cide not to go up to God's Lake with me, Thoreau 'can bring you and your luggage back to the station with his dog team. Such a supper--or break- fast---Iit will be! I can smell it now, for I know Thoreau--his fish, his birds, the tenderest steaks in the for- ests! I can hear Thoreau cursing be- cause the train hasn't come, and I'll wager he's got fish and caribou ten- derloin and partridges just ready for a final turn in the roaster. What do you say? Will you get off with me?" "It is a tempting offer to a hungry man, Father." The Little Missioner chuckled "Hunger!---that's the real medi- elatedly.
