' ? ? avoid a troth that ever grew clearer and more manifest?his love for Virginia. He bad told nlmself he wouldn't give his love to her. He would hold that hack, at least. He had re minded himself of the brldgeless gap that separated them. But there was no use of trying further. In the stress and passion of the mel ody he had found oat the truth. But If he couldn't keep his knowl edge from himself, at least he conld hold It from the girl. It would only bring her unhapplness. It would de stroy the feeling of comradeship for him that be had began to observo In ber. It would put an insur mountable wall belween them. Virginia bad no suspicion of his thoughts. She was still enthralled by the uftorlui.iglne of the music. But soon the nolso of the storm begun to force itself Into her con sciousness. Vaguely she knew that this night was different from the others. The two previous nights she had been ill and half-unconscious; her very helplessness appealed to Bill's chivalry. Tonight she stood on her own foot. Sho was suddenly face to face with the fact that the night stretch ed before her?and she In a snow swopt cabin in the full power of a strange man. But all at once she looked up to find Bill's eyes upon her, full o! sympathy and understanding. "You'll want to turu In now," he told her. "You take the bunk again, i of course?I'll sleep on the floor. I'm comfortable there. And now I've got to fix your boudoir." He tool; one of the boxes that served as a chair and stood it up on tho floor, just In front of her bunk. Thou, holding ono of the blankets In Ills arm and a few uails In hi? i band, he climbed upon tho box. Sho understood In an Instant. He was curtaining off the entire end of the cabin where Virginia slept. The girl's relief showed In her face. "You can go in thoro now,' he told her. "But there's one thing? I want to show you?before vou turn In." "Yes?" "I want to show you this little pistol." Ho look a light arm of bln? steel from his belt?the small call bered and automatic weapon with which he had killed the grouse. "It'3 only a twenty-two," Bill went on, 'but It shootn a long cartridge, and it shoots ten of 'em, fast us you pull the trigger. You could kill a cari bou with It. if you hit him right." "Yes?" And she wondered -U this curious intorludo In their mo jment of parting. i "You nee this little catch behind I the trigger guard?" The girl nod I dcd. "When you want to fire it. all I you have to d? is to push up the little catch with yottr thumb aud pull tho trigger. Tomorrow I'm go ing to tench .vou how to shoot wltn It?I mean shoot straight enough to take tho head uff a grouse at twenty feet. And so It will bring you luck, II want ycu to slop with it?under I your pillow." Understanding flushed through i ber. ami u slow, grateful smile I played at her lips. "I don't want it. Bill," she told him. "You'd fool safer with It," the man urged. Me slipped it under her pillow. "And even before you learn to shoot it well?you could? If you had to?shoot and kill a man." Ho smiled again and drew her curtain. Bill was true to his promise to teach Virginia to shoot. The next day they had target practice. While Virginia cooked lunch. Bill cut young spruce trees and made a sled; and after the meal pushed out through the whirling snow to bring in the remainder of the moose meat. It was the work of tho whole aft ernoon to urge the sled up the ridge and then draw it home through tho drifts. Virginia was lonely and depress ed all the time Bill was absent. "You can call mo Virginia, if you want to," she told him. "Last names are silly out here." Bill looked his gratitude, and she helped him prepare the meat. Some of It he hung just outside the cabin door; one of tho great hams was suspended in a spruco tree, fifty feet In front of tho cabin. The skin was fleshed and hung up behind the stove to dry. "It's going to furnish the web for our snowshoes," he explained. In their talk that evening she was surprised to learn how full had been his reading. Other evenings he told her Na ture lore; the ways of the living creatures that he observed, and in the daytime he illustrated his points from life, (Continued in Onr Next Issue) Dish -washing Is a different Job? with Blue Devil Cleanser.?Adv.
