It was a long tlrap yet until darkness.
He yet might make the trail-end. He
gave no thought to fntlgue. In the
first place, lie had stood up remark-
ably well under the day's tramp for
no other reason than that he had al-

fiber of the body lived In the fullest

thnt she spoke.
She smiled at him. ever so quietly.

name by which she called him In her
babyhood, “you've come to Linda.’’

there was something more potent than

rest of the way. When he reached
the top of a little rise In the trail, the
whole scene was laid out In mystery
below him.
The fire had been built at the door
of a mountain house—a log structure
of perhaps four rooms. The firelight
played In Its open doorway. Some-
thing heslde It eaught his attention,
and Instinctively he followed it with
his eyes until It ended tn an Incred-
ible region of the stars. It was a
great pine tree, the largest he had
ever seen—seemingly a groat sentinel
over all the land.
But the sudden awe that came over
him at the sight of It was cut short
by the sight of u girl’s figure In the
firelight. He had an Instant's sense
that he had come to the wilderness’
heart at lost, that this tall tree was
Its symbol, that If he could under-
stand the eternal watch that It kept
over this mountain world, he would
have an understanding of all things—
but all these thoughts were submerged
In the realization that he had come
buck to Linda at last.
lie had known how the mountains
would seem. All that he had beheld
today was just the recurrence of
things heheld long ago. Nothing had
seemed different from what he had
expected; rather he had a sense that
a lost world had been returned to him,
and It was almost os If he had never
been awny. .But the girl In the fire-
light did not answer In the least de-
gree the picture he had carried of
Linda.
He remembered her as a blond-
headed little girl with irregular fea-
tures and a rather unreasonable al-
lowance of homeliness. All the way
he had thought of her as a baby sis-
ter—not as a woman In her flower.
For a loug second he gRzed at her In
speechless amazement.
Hpr hair was .no longer blond.
True, it had peculiar red lights when
the firelight shone through It; but he
knew by the light of day It would be
deep brown: He remembered her as
an awkward little thing that was
hardly able to keep her feet under
her. This tall girl had the wilderness
grace—which Is the grace of a deer
and only blind eyes cannot see It He
dimly knew that she wore a khaki-
colored skirt and a simple blouse of
white tied with a blue scar! Her
arms were bare In the fire's gleam.
And there waa a dark beauty about
her face that simply could not be
denied.
8he came toward him. and her
hands yere open before her. And her

CHAPTER IX
As the fire burned down to coals
and the stars wheeled through the
sky, Linda told her story. The two
of them were seated in the soft grass
In front of the cabin, and the moon-
light was on Linda's face as she
talked. She talked very low at first.
Indeed there was no need for loud
tones. The whole wilderness world
was heavy with silence, and a whis-
per carried far. Besides, Bruce was
just beside her, watching her with
narrowed eyes, forgetful of every-
thing except her story.
“I’ve waited a long time to tell you
this,” she told hint. "Of course, when
we were babies together In the or-
phanage, I didn't even know It. It
has taken me a long time since to
learn all the details; most of them I
got from my aunt, old Elmira, whom
you talked to on the way out. Par*
of It I knew by Intuition, and a little
of It Js still doubtful.
“You ought to know first how hard
I haVe tripd to rpach you. Of course,
I didn’t try openly except at first—
the first years after I came here, and
before I was old enough to tinder
""d.” She spoke the last word with
rlpus depth of feeling and a per-
tible hardness about her Ups and
eyes. “1 remembered just two things.
That the man who had adopted you
was Newton Duncan; one of the
nurses at the asylum told me that.
And I remembered die nume of the
city where he had taken you.
“You must understand the difficul-
ties I worked under. There Is no
rural free delivery up here, you know,
Bruce. Our mall Is sent from and
delivered to the little post office at
Martin’s store — over fifteen miles
from here. And some one member of
a certain family that lives near here
goes down every week to get the mall
for the entire district.
“At first—and that was before I
really understood—I wrote vou many
letters an I gave them to one of this
family to mall for me. I was Just a
child then, you must know, and I
lived In the same h.ouse with these
people. They were Just baity let-
ters from—from LInda-Tinda to Bwov-
aboo—letters abotlt the deer and the
berries and the squirrels—and all the
wild things thnt lived up here."
“Berries!” Bruce cried. "I tiud gome
on the way up." ; Hts tone wavered,
and he seemed to be speaking far
away. "I had some once—long ago.”
“Yes. You will understand, soon.
1 didn't understand why you didn't
answer m.v letters. I understand now,
though. You never got them.”
“No. • X never got them. But there
are several Duncans In my city. They
might have gone astray.”
"They went astray—but It was be-
fore they ever reached the post office.
They were never mailed, 'Bruce. I
was to know why, later. Even then
It was part of the plan that I should
never get tn communication with you
again—that you would be lost to me
forever.
“When I got older, I tried other
tacks. X wrote to the asylum, enclos-
ing a letter to you. But those letters
were not mailed, either.
“Now we can skip a long time. I
grew up. I knew everything at last
and no longer lived with the family
X mentioned before. I came here, to
this old house—and made It decent
to live In. I cut my own wood for my
fuel except when one of the men
tried to pleaae me by cutting It for
me. I wouldn't use It at' first. Oh,
Bruce—I wouldn’t touch it!”
Her face was no longer lovely. It
Waa drawn with terrible passions.
But she quieted at once.
“At last I saw plainly that I was a
little fool—that all they would do for
me. the better off I was. At first, I
almost starved to death because I
wouldn't use the food that they sent
me. I tried to grub It out of the hills.
But I cam* to It at last. But, Brude,
there were many things I didn't come
to. Since I learned the truth, I have
never given one of them a smile ex-
cept In acorn, not a word that wasn't
a word Of hate.
"You are a city man, Bruce. You
don't know what hate means. It
