Long after the others in the camp had sunk into the profound slumber of weary bodies and good consciences, a solitary candle in the small tent oc- cupied by Enid Maitland alone gave evidence that she was busy over the o‘letters which Kirkby had handed to her. it was a very thoughtful girl in- deed who confronted the old frontiers- I The main stream that flowed down i the canon was fed by many affluents . from the mountain sides, and in each of them voracious trout appeared.

The packet was not bulky. the let- ters were not many nor were they of my great length. She could easily carry them on her person and ln some strange and unexpllcable way The first few days were days of learning and preparation, days of mis- hap and misadventure, of joyous; laughter over blunders in getting set- tled, or learning the mysteries of rod and line, or becoming hardened and acclimated. The weather proved per- fect; it was late October and the nights were very cold, but there was no rain and the bright sunny days were invigorating and exhilarating to the last degree. They had huge fires and plenty of blankets and the colder it was in the night the better they slept. It was an intensely new experience for the girl from Philadelphia, but she showed a marked interest and adapt- ability, and entered with the keenest zest into all the opportunities of the charming days. She was a good sports- woman and she soon learned to throw a fly with the best of them. Old Kirk- by took her under his especial pro- tection and as he was one of the best rods in the mountains, she had every advantage. She had always lived in the midst of life. Except in the privacy of her own chamber she had rarely ever been alone beforeâ€"not twenty feet from a man, she thought whimsically, but here the charm of solitude at- tracted her, she liked to take her rod and wander 0!! alone. She actually enjoyed it. Sometimes leaving rod and basket1 by the waterside, she climbed some particularly steep acclivity of the canon wall and stood poised, wind blown, a nymph of the woods, upon some pinnacle of rock rising needle- like at the canon’s edge above the sea of verdure which the wind waved to and fro beneath her feet. There in the bright light, with the breeze blow- ing her golden hair, she looked like some Norse goddess, blue eyed, ex~ blunted. triumphant. She was a perfectly formed woman on the ancient. noble lines of Milo rather than the degenerate softness of Medici. She grew stronger of limb end fuller of breath, quicker and steadier of eye and hand, cooler oi nerve, in these demanding, compelling adventures among the rocks in this mountain eir. She let not.

She displayed astonishing aptitude under his instructions and soon became won- derfully proficient with that deadly weapon and with a revolver also. There was little danger to be appre- hended in the daytime among the mountains, the more experienced men thought, still it was wise for the girl always to have a weapon in readiness, so in her journeyings, either the Win- chester was slung from her shoulder or carried in her hand, or else the Colt dangled at her hip. At first she took both, but finally it was With reluc- tance that she could be persuaded to take either. Nothing had ever hap- pened. Save for a few birds now and then she had seemed the only tenant of the wilderness of her choice. woman, indeed slightly under rather than over the medium size, but she was so perfectly proportioned, she car- ried herself with the fearlessness or a young chamols, that she looked taller than she was. There was not an ounce of superfluous flesh upon her, yet she had the grace of Hebe. the strength of Pallas Athene, and the swiftness of motion of Atalanta. Had One night after a camping experi- ence of nearly two weeks in the moun- tains and just before the time for breaking up and going back to civil- ization, she announced that early the next morning she was going down the canon for a day’s fishing excursion. None of the party had ever fol- lowed the little river very far, but it was known that some ten miles below the stream merged in a lovely gem- like lake in a sort of crater in the mountains. F‘rom thence by a sari-9s of water falls it descended through the foothills to the distant plains be- yond. The others had arranged to climb one especiallv (inmrormis anci- ambition provoking peak which tor cred above them and which had never before been surmounted so far as they knew. Enid enjoyed mountain climbing. She liked the uplift in teel- ing that came from going higher and higher till some crest was gained, but. on this occasion they urged her to ac- company them in vain. When the fixity of her decision was established she had a number of offers ' to accompany her, but declined them all, bidding the others go their way. g Mrs. Maitland, who was not feeling very well, old Kirkby, who had climbed too many mountains to feel much interest in that game, and Pete . the horse wrangler, who had to lookl after the stock, remained in camp;; the others with the exception of Enid ' started at daybreak for their long as- i cent. She waited until the sun was; about an hour high and then bade. good-bye to the three and began the‘ descent of the canon. ' for she was going farâ€"farther, indeed, ' than she knewâ€"she left her Winches- ter at home, but carried the revolverl with the fishing tackle and substantial i luncheon. Now the riverâ€"a river by courtesy onlyâ€"and the canon turned sharply back on themselves just beyond the little meadow where the camp was pitched. Past the tents that had been their home for this joyous period the river ran due east for a few hundred feet, after which it curved sharply, doubled back and flowed westward for several miles before it gradually swung around to the east on its prop- er course again. It had been Enid’s purpose to cut across the hills and strike the river where it turned eastward once more, avoiding the long detour back. In fact, she had declared her lntentlon of doing that to Klrkby and he had given her careful directions so that she should not get lost in the moun- talns. But she had plenty of time and no excuse or reason for saving it, she never tired of the charm of the canon; ther’el'ore, instead of plunging directly over the spur of the range, she fol- lowed the familiar trail and after she had passed westward far beyond the limits of the camp to the turning, she decided, in accordance with that ut- terly irresponsible thing, a woman’s will, that she would not go down the canon that day after all, but that she would cross back over the range and strike the river a few miles above the camp and go up the canon. She had been up in that direction n few times. but only for a short dis- tance, as the ascent above the camp was very sharp. in fact for s little more than a mile the brook was only s succession of water tall; the best ilshing was below the camp and the finest woods were deeper in the csnon.

' 0000000 000000 The ground was rocky and broken, the timber line was close above her , and she judged that she must be sev- ’ eral miles from the camp. The canon was very crooked, she could see only a few hundred yards of it in any di- rection. She scanned her circum- scribed limited horizon eagerly for the smoke from the great fire that they always kept burning in the camp, but not a sign of it was visible. She was evidently a thousand feet above the river whence she had come. Her standing ground was a rocky ridge which fell away more gently on the other side for perhaps two hundred feet toward the same brook. She could see through vistas in the trt-es . the uptossed peaks of the main range, ibare, chaotio, snow crowned, lonely, ' majestic, terrible.

The ascent was longer and more dimcult and dangerous than she had imagined when she first confronted it. perhaps it was typical and foretold her progress. More than once she had to stop and carefully examine the face of the canon wall for a practicable trail; more than once she had to ex- ercise extremest care in her climb. but she was a bold and fearless moun- taineer by this time and at last sur- mounting every difficulty she stood panting slightly, a little tired, but triumphant upon the summit.
