And as he began to unlock the door, •walked off After that, her interest In the rock waned; the Mount seemed "but a prison; she, herself, desired N only to escape from It.

Which way should she go? Ir- $1$. * "*'• * resolutely she turned in the direction "of the wood. , Saladin, herj horse, seemed tat un •usually fine fettle, and the distance ^ , .separating her from the land was '!&£•' £eoon covered; but still she continued | to follow the shore, swinging around f$*- p; 1 i and out toward a point some distance li ( ji£|; - f ®eaward- Not until she had reached ^ 1 that extreme projection of land, where fthe wooing green crept out from the ii/orest as 'ar as it might, did she ~ draw rein. Saladin stopped, albei* with protest, tossing his great head. "You mffht as well make an end of that, sir!" said the,girl, and, spring­ ing from the saddle, deftly secured him. Then turning her back toward the Mount, a shadowy pyramid in the distance, she seated herself In the grass with her eyes to the woods. Not long, however, did my lady re­ main thus;, soon rising, she talked toward the shadowy depths. At the verge she paused; her brows grew thoughtful; what was It fhe woods recalled? Suddenly, she remembered --a boy she had met the night she left for school so long ago, had told her he lived In them. She recalled, too, as a child, how the woman, Marie, who had been maid to her mother, had tried to frighten her about that sequestered domain, with tales of fierce wild animals and unearthly creatures, visible and Invisible, that roamed within. ; She had no fear now, though faint rustlings and a pulsation of sound held her listening. Then, through the leafy interstice, a gleaming and flash­ ing. .as if some one were throwing jewels to the earth, lured her on to the cause of the seeming enchant­ ment--a" tiny waterwall! S The moment passed; still she lin­ gered. Around the Mount's high top, her own home, only transcendent si­ lence reigned; here was she surround­ ed by babbling voices and all manner of merry creatures--lively little squir­ rels; winged Insects, romping in the twilight shade; a portly and well-sat­ isfied appearing green monster who regarded her amicably from a niche of green. A butterfly, poised and waving Its wings, held her a long time--until she was suddenly aroused by the wood growing darker. Raising her eyes, she saw through the green foliage overhead that the bright sky had become sunless. At the same time a rumbling detonation, faint, far-off, broke in upon the whisperings and tlukllngs of that wood nook. Getting up, she stood for a moment listening; then walked away. Near the verge of the sand, Saladin greeted her with Impatience, tossing his head toward the darkening heav­ ens. Nor did he wait until she was fairly seated before starting back at a rapid gate along the shore. But the girl offered no protest; her face showed only enjoyment. A little wild he might be at times, as became one of rugged ancestry, but never vicious, only headstrong! And she' didn't mind that-- Already had he begun to slack that first thundering pace when something white--a veil, perhaps, dropped from the cavalcade of lords and ladies some days before on the land and wafted to the beach--fluttered like a live thing suddenly before him. In his tense mood, Saladin, affrighted, sprang to one side; then wheeling outright, madly took the bit in his teeth. Per­ force his mistress resigned herself, sitting straight and sure, with little hands hard and firm at the reins. Saladin was behaving very ba*fly, but --at least he was superb; worth con­ quering, if-- A brief thrill of apprehension seized her as, again drawing near the. point of land, he showed no signs of yield­ ing; resisted all her attempts to turn, to direct him to it. With nostrils thrust forward and breathing strong, he continued to choose his , own course; to whirl her on; past the promontory; around into the great bay beyond--now a vast expanse, or desert of sand, broken only, about half­ way across, by the small isle of Gasque. Toward this rocky forma­ tion, a pygmy to the great Mount from which it lay concealed by t^e intervening projection of land, the horse rushed. On, on! In vain she still endeavored to stop him; thinking uneasily of stories the fishermen told of this neighboring coast; of the sands that often shifted here, setting pitfalls (or the unwary. She Baw the sky grow yet darker, noted the nearer flashings of light, and heard the louder rumb­ lings that followed. Then presently another danger she had long been con­ scious of, on a sudden became real. She saw, or thought she saw, a faint streak, like a silver line drawn across the sky where the yellow sands touched the sombrous horizon. And Saladin seemed to observe it, too; to iMect in it cause for wonder; reason for hesitation. At any rate, that head­ long speed now showed signs of di­ minishing; he clipped and toaped the sand less vigorously, and looked around at his mistress with wild, un­ easy eyes. Again she spoke to him; pulled with all her strength at the reins, and, at once, he stopped. None too soon! Great drops of rain had begun, to fall, but the girl did not notice them. The white line alone riveted her attention! It seemed to grow broader; to acquire an intangible movement of its own; at the same time to give out a sound--a strange, low droning that filled the air. Heard for the first time, a stranger at the Mount would have found it inexplic­ able; to the Governor's daughter, the menacing cadence left no room for doubt as to its origin. The girl's cheek paled; her gase swung in the opposite direction to­ ward the point of land, how so dis­ tant. Could they reach it? She did not believe they could; Indeed, the "grand" tide coming up behind on the verge of the storm, faster than any horse could gallop, would overtake them midway. And Saladin seemed to know it1 also; beneath her, he trembled. Yet must they try, she thought, and had tightened the reins to turn, when looking ahead once more, she discerned a break in the forbidding cliffs of the little island of Casque, and, back of the fissure, a shining spot which marked a tln^ cove. A moment she hesitated; what should she do? Ride toward the isle and the white danger, or toward the point of mainland ang from it? Either alternative was a desperate one, but the isle lay much nearer; and quickly, the brown eyes gleaming with sudden courage, she decided; touched her horse and pressed him forward. But fast as she went the "grand" tide came faster; struck with a loud, menacing sound the seaward side of the isle and swung hungrily around. My lady cast over her shoulder a quick glance; the cove, however, was near; only a line of small rocks, jut­ ting from the sand, separated her from it. If they could but pass, she thought; they had passed, she told herself joyfully, when of a sudden the horse stumbled; fell. Thrown violent­ ly from his back, a moment was she cognizant of a deafening roar; a riot­ ous advance of foam; above, a hun­ dred birds that screamed distractedly; then all these sounds mingled; dark­ ness succeeded, and she remembered no more. CHAPTER VIM. The Old Watch-Tower. A wall! A window--a prison-like interior! As frer eyes opened, the Governor's daughter strove confusedly to decipher her surroundings. The wall seemed real; the narrow window, too, high above, framing, against a darkening background, a slant of fine rain! Again she closed her eyes, only to be conscious of a gentle languor; a heaviness like that of half-sleep; of bodily heat, and also a little bodily pain. For an indefinite period, really a moment or two, she resigned herself to that dreamy torpor; then, with an effort, lifted her lashes once more. As she gazed before her, something bright seemed leaping back and forth; a flame--that played on the wall; re­ vealing the joints between the stones of massive masonry; casting shadows, but to wipe them out; paling near a small window, the only aperturd ap­ parent in the cell-like place. Turning from the fiickerings, her glanoe quiok- ly sought their Bource--a fire in a 'hearth, before which she lay'--ofr half- sat, propped against a stone. But why? The spot was strange; in her ears sounded a buzzing, like the murmur of a waterfall. She remem­ bered now; she had lingered before one--in the woods; and Saladin had run away, madly, across the sands, until--my lady raided her hand to her brow; abruptly let it fall. In the shadow on the other t^ide of the hearth some one moved; some one who had been watching her and who now stepped out into the light. "Are you better?" said a voice. Bhe stared. On the bold, swarthy features of a young man now standing and looking down at her, the light flared and gleamed; the open shirt re­ vealed a muscular throat; the down- turned black eyes were steady, solicit- Walking Time Is Cut Off Abolition of System Causes Consider­ able Trouble In the Adirondack Region.

His appearance was unexpected, yet not quite strange; she had seen him before, but, in the general sur­ prise and perplexity of the moment, did not ask herself where. The inter­ val between what she last remem­ bered on the beach--the rush and swirl of water--and what she woke to, absorbed the haay workings of her mind. The young man stopped; stirred the fire, and after a pause, apparently to give her time to collect her thoughts, repeated his question: "Are you bet­ ter, now?" "Oh, yes," she said, with an effort, half sitting up. And then Irrelevantly, with rather a wild giance about Ser; "Isn't--isn't it storming outside?" "A little--not much--" A. smile crossed the dark features.

"How did you hart your hands?" He thrust them into his pockets. "Was it from the rocks--and the waves? How did I get here?" ; "Oh, I was standing on the cliff," he answered carelessly, "and--saw your horse running away!" "You did? And then--came down?"* "What else was there to do?" he said simply. Her gaze returned to the fire. "But the tide was rushing in--rushing! it was right upon me!" She looked again toward the pockets into which his hands were thrust; ob­ served his shirt, torn at the shoulder; then arose unsteadily. "I know--it was not so easy!" she said. "It was brave of you--" -'Your Ladyship is no coward!" he Interrupted, a sparkle, in his eyes.

The young' man turned. Tour Ladyship so far honored me--as to uituc9 with me!" he said, in his eyes a touch of that brightness that had caused her u> regard (iiin imperiously, as he had swung her to the measure of the music, on the occasion in ques­ tion.

His glance followed hers; she was- about to speak; when quickly he inter­ rupted. i "Has your Ladyship thought how she is going to get back to the Mount?" My lady's questioning, along the line of personal inquiry, ceased; the Gov­ ernor's daughter looked a little blank. "No--that is, havep't you & boat?" "Not here." "Then you walked overt" He neither affirmed, nor denied. "And the tide will not be out for hours!" Her look showed consterna­ tion; she glanoed toward the opening /!

About to reply, she became once more aware she was still very dizzy from the fall on the sand; the shapely figure swayed and she put out her hand .with a gesture of helplessness. At the same time, the man reached forward quickly and caught her. A moment was she conscious of a firm grasp; a dark, anxious gase bent upon her; then, slid gently back to the stone seat. A brief Interval, and gradually she began to see again more distinctly-- a man's face, not far from hers; a face that drew back as her own look cleared.

The car was crowded, and they remained in the *6Sr Tcotiuulc, standing. At Ar­ mour boulevard a tall, wide man in a black overcoat boarded the car* The geometrical arrangement <pf the vestibule and its occupants made it necessary for the tall, wide man to wedge himself tightly, just In front of where the two young women Were standing. The trio remained In statu quo until "There Goes My Lunoheen." the car began to arrive down town. The man was the first to alight. As he went down the steps one of the young women uttered a small, embarassed shriek. "Oh, look!" she told her compan­ ion, pointing after the erstwhile pas­ senger. "There goes my luncheon," she giggled.. Sure enough, there was the neat little packet--the string hooked se­ curely over two buttons on the read el­ evation to the tall man's overcoat. "Call to him--quick," her friend urged. But the man was on his way, and the car started. And the lunch­ eon was destined to cause a little sur­ prise party at some other ol^ce, later on.

Chief Firemaker is said to be the oldest human being In the world, hav­ ing been born in the region now known as Glacier National Park, in 1781, according to well-authenticated tradition. He was the first red man in that territory to visit the Great White Father, and the Journey to the na­ tional capital, when President Jeffer­ son was in the White House, was a memorable event in his life. He is regarded in his tribe as an oracle. At the time of his birth* so the In­ dian legend goes, the Father of All Spirits, standing on a mountain, shot an arrow near his father's tepee. The prophecy as interpreted by the medi- eine men is that he would live forever and assist the gods in their councils.
