He stood for a mo- ment revolving an explanation. At last he said, “You mustn’t take an enemy’s report of me.” Munro frowned. “Claire called! Here? Then with a leer that was char- acteristic of him, he added. “I hope you had a pleasant chat.” “Ask her. She did all the talkin’.” Munro became very serious and very winning. “Now, see here, Nora"â€" He was not smiling now. His heart was in his voice. “You tell Ann not to misjudge me. She must give me a chance to square myself. I don’t claim to be a saint, but I’ve been Open and aboveboard with every man or woman I’ve ever had any dealings with. What- ever my past has been, I‘m living on a different plane now. I’ve cut off all my old habits for her sake. I’m trying to live up to her standard of things. 'I know she’s better than I am, but I can climb. My family is as good as hers. I started right, and with the help of a good woman I can get back to where I was. I claim the work I’m doing here is worthy her approval. Ask her to let me see her again.” Nora turned her face toward Ann’s door and both waited in silence, but no sound came from the inner room. Munro bowed. “I understand. I take the hint. But some day when you are feeling jolly I’d like to know what has frosted the air down here among the aspens.” “We do not,” said Nora calmly. “Your wife has called on us.” "My wife!" “The woman who calls herself your _wife. "l‘is all one so far as we are concerned.” “Call me Mrs. Kelly,” she interposed shortly. The door closed with a decided jar and a bolt slid. “I can tell you,” said Nora, with the directness of a woman who has knéwn rough men all her life. “Ann has learn- ed the kind of life you live, and she de- spises t1» sight of your face.” that 2” Munro whistled. “Another cold blast.

She could only wait for that besotted face to fade into a grisly apparition. In the end she pltied the poor woman who loved and was willing to defend her love. Raymond was chilled by the change in Annâ€"by a return to the cold aloof- ness of her manner at Barnett'sâ€"and was profoundly troubled by it. The day following the woman’s visit Munro rode down as usual to call and seemed amazed when Mrs. Kelly greet- ed him coldly. “Ann does not want to see you or any one else this morningâ€"- you least of all.” “No one but ourselves need know what took place." he said In conclusion. “Woo is no talebearer, and when the woman herself sobers oi! she’ll not re- member a word of it.

The mist closed round them, all signs of other human presence dis- appeared, and they soon stood alone in a world of gray light wherein neither sky nor horizon line appeared. All that remained of the earth was a little strip of ground beneath their feet. Raymond stopped at last and held toward Ann :1 small. irregular piece of rock. “Do you see that?” he hoarsely inquired. She took it wonderingly. “Is it ore?” “Yes, and it’s heavy with gold. Kel- ly’s luck has won again. We’ve open- ed a vein that will make us both rich.” There was no tremor or doubt in his tone. “Oh. I’m so glad!” she cried out, with unaffected pleasure. “Now Mrs. Kelly can go to llvo in tho valley.” His eyes were shining, his face pnfie and his voice vibrant as he abruptly said: “Come with me; 'the time has come. I want to talk with you.” him "99 “Never mind the Kellys now,” he cried out impatiently. “I have a great deal to say to you, and I want to say it here. I’m going to try and win you.” His manner was exuitant. his voice tense vith passion. "I :1 :11 hold to reck- lessness today.” He had never been humble. Now he rose above her, masterful. an avowed lover. and his eyes burning down into“ hers made her shrink and shiver as if from cold. The cloud hung moveless for hours, impenetrable, yet resisting. A hush was in the air as though some disaster, concealed as yet, was about to be dis‘ covered. About 10 o’clock as she stood on the steps wondering whether to cross to the bunga1ow or not Raymond burst from the obscurity. "Good morning,” culled Ann. “Isn’t this a stlange effect?” “What has happened?” she asked in alarm. “No, but I do not understand. Where is Louis? Has anything happened to “Louis is safe with Kelly. I want to see you because things have happened to me. Come, I must see you alone." He misread the movement. “Are you warm enough?” he asked tenderly. “I hope you are, for I want to tell youâ€" explain to youâ€"Why I am here. Let us sit here.” He indicated a flat rock. “This is our only opportunity. No one will knowâ€"no one can see us. Will you listen ‘3” He took a seat a little in front, so that he could see her face, which was radiant as a rose in the mist. “I’ve been trying to write you a letter ever since you came.

You are not afraid of me, are you '2” “I will listen,” she said quietly and took a seat. drawing her cloak about her. “I know that. I trust you now.” “That assurance is sweet to me, but I want to tell you now that the only mystery in my life is this: I am a West Point cadetâ€"I mean, I was”â€" “Wero you, really?” She looked at him with such unmistakable reliet and gladness that he taltered. “Wait. I was only there two years. I was court martialed for breach of discipline and gross insubordination at thg beginning of my third year.” She stepped to the door and looked out with vague alarm. The vapor had blotted out the world. Nothing could be seen but the faint terms of one or two cabins and a' clump of nearby trees, and she went back shivering and a little depressed. “I don’t like to leave the peak on such a day,” she said at last. “I think I’ll stay till the sun comes out. I want to think of it as it has beenâ€"radiant and inspiriting.” He hastened on. “You mustn’t judge me hastily. It came on my return aft- er furlough.

In place of the clear, golden sun- shine which had so often glorified her room a blue-gray mist lay thick against her window pane. Raising the sash, she put her hand into itâ€"it was like smoke. dry and cold! Dressing hur- riedly she entered the sitting room, where Matt was helping his sons to and Nora, seeing suffering in the lines of his face, said more kindly: “Ye may as well go. The door will not open to you this day nor any other.” _ Munro timed afid went out with bowed head, and Nora could not doubt the sincerity of his pain. HAMLIN GARLAND ’9 '21 I 3AM CHRONICLE The beauty of the girl as she faced him there in the mist was shining, all conquering in its pulse and glow. “I love you, and I want you to know it.

My whole life and training have been such that I am totally unfitted for the life you would lead. Please do not misread me. It is not a question of your wealth or your poverty. It’s my own way of life. my own mind. I don’t want to hurt you, but I must tell you that it is impossible to think ofâ€" "I didn’t intend to do so,” he humbly replied. “I fear I’ve made a mess of it, just as I have with all the rest of my life. But this morning when we un- covered that vein it seemed as though i had a chance to recover my place in the world. I’ve wasted ten years or my life masquerading here and there, but that is finished. Since I saw you life began to be serious business with me. You smile, but you know what I mean, and if you would only give me time I would make you proud of me.” He paused and looked about him. The mist seemed lightening, as if infiltrated with a golden vapor. It was in motion also, and far to the westward smatl patches of blue sky showed momen- tarily. “It is clearing," he said in a quiet voice, though his eyes were wet. “The west wind is setting in.” His high mood sank a little. “Don’t misjudge me. It’s not so clear in my mind as when I met you at the door. Money does helpâ€"you know it does. It extends a man’s power; it makes him effective for good, if good is in him. I was a rancher when you met me: we stood in a different relation from that which we occupy now. Isn’t that true?” “Yes,” she slowly answered, “but it isn’t because of your mine.” “What is it because of ?” “It is because you have been kind and considerate of my brother.” He looked disappointed. “Is that all? I honed you liked me for myself.” “I doâ€"like you,” she answered. “Can you not love me?” “Do not press me.” She spoke sharp- ly. a flush of resentment in her eyes. “Yes, she’s living yet. I write her every week, but not one word has passed between my father and me since my dismissal. Naturally enough, I drifted west and into cattle ranching. I liked the excitement of it, and I’d been trained to ride and to shoot. I gradually became cow boss and tore- man, and so you found me, with a few thousand dollars saved up. Your com- ing changed every current in my life. I became ambitious to do something. to be rich. I came here, I bought this mine, and there shines my gold.” He held it toward her again. “Now I can go home. My court martial becomes a joke. Don’t you see? My father is human. He would not receive me poor and disgraced. With a big mine behind me the case will be difierent.” “Are we all purchasable with gold?” she asked. and when he rounded me up he rasped me till I lost my head. Being a quick tempered youth. I answered him. He abused me shamefully, and I struck him in the face, and that ended my stay at West Point.’,’ “Oh, how foolish! How wrong!” “No, it was not wrong. I would do it again. The small sneak used a tone in addressing me which no man has a right to use to another. You wouldn’t suppose a tone could hurt, but it did. It cut like a lash. Well, that ended my career as a soldier. My home was on the Ohio river. not far from Cincin- nati, and my family still lives there. Our whole country is rich in traditions of General Grant, and my father had selected me out of all his sons to be the soldier of his family. You know how some men try to map their sons’ careers.
