ly, and i
i'ENT on ahead, walking swift.
now and then when I'hlllp
caught a glimpse of his face ho saw In
It a despair as great ns his own. The
trail led along the backbone oi a huge
ridge, and then twisted down Into a
broad plain; und across this they
traveled, one after tho other, two
moving, silent shadows In a desolation
that seemed without end. Ueyond the
plain thero rose another ridge, und
half an hour after they had struck the
top of It Pierre halted, and pointed off
Into tho ghostly wot Id of light and
shadow that lay at their feet
"Your camp Is on tho other side
of this plain, M'slcur," ho said. "Do
you recognize tho country?"
"I have hunted along this ridge "
replied rhlllp. "It Is only three miles
from here, and I will strlko a beaten
trail half a mile out yonder. A thou
band thanks, Pierre."
He held out his hand.
"Goodby, M'sleur."
"Oood-by, Pierre."
Their volcca trembled. Their hands
gripped hard. A choking lump roso in
Philip's throat and Pierre turned away
He disappeared slowly In tho gra
gloom, and Philip went down the side
of tho mountain. From tho plain be
low he looked hack. Tor an Instant
he saw Pierre drawn like a silhouette,
against the sky.
"Good-hy, Pierre," he shouted
"Good-by, M'slcur," canto hacu
faintly.
Night and silence dropped .iluiut
them.
CHAPTER XIX
TO BE alone, even after the patnfu.
parting with Pierre, was in one
way a relief to Philip, for with toe
disappearance of tho lonely half-breed
over the mountain thero had gone
from him tho last physical association
that bound him to Jeanne and her
people. With Pierre at his side
Jeanne was still with him; but now
'that Pierre was gone there came a
change in him ono of those una
countable transmutations of the m.nj
which make tho passing of ester
days more like a ohort dnam .u.
a. long and full reality. He w.t.u- 1
slowly over tho plain, and when '
came to the trail beaten by the hoofs
of his own teams he followed it in
chanlcally. In his measurement of
things now. It senned only a few
hours since he had traxeled over this
trail on his way to 1'ort Churchill; It
might have been that morning, or tho
morning before. The weeks of his ab
sence had passed with marvelous
swiftness, now that ho looked hack
upon them. They seemed short and
trivial. And yet ho Know that In
those weeks he had lived more of his
llfo than ho had ecr lived before, or
would over live again.
Tor a brief spell life had been tilled
with joy and hope a. pronil.so of hap-
lilncss which a tinglo moment in the !
shadoxvof the Sim P.ock had dostroxed
forever. Ho had seen Jeanne In an-
other man's arms; ho had read tho
confirmation of his fears in Pierre's
grief-distorted face, in tho strange
tremble of his oce, ln tho xvords
that ho had spoken. He xxas sorry for
Pierre. Ho xxould ha been glad If
that other man had been tho lovable.-
half-breed; If Jeanne, ln the poetry of
lifo and lox-e, had glxen herself to
tho ono who had sax eel tho spark of
llfo In her chilled llttlo body years
and years ago. And yet in his oxvn
grief ho unconsciously rejoiced that
It xvas a man like Plerro who suffered
with him
This thought of Plerro strengthened
him, and he walked faster, and
breathed moro deeply of tho clear
night air. Ho had lost in tho light for
Jeanne as ho had lost iu many other
fights; hut, after nil, thero xxas another
Bnd bigger fight ahead of hhn, xvhi.-h
ho would begin tomorroxx-. Thoughts
of Ills men, of his camps, and of this
struggle through which ho must pass
to achieve succe-s raised lilm aboxr
hls depression. Snd stirred his blood
with a groxxing exhilaration. And
Jeanne was she hopelcsslj- lost to
lilm? Ho dared to utk himself the
question half an hour after he hail j
separated from Pierre, and his mind
flew back to tho portrait-room xvhero
lie had told Jeanne of his love, and
where for a moment ho had seen In
her eyes and f.ico tho sxx-cet surrender
that had given him a gllmpso of his ,
paradlso. But xvhat did tho sudden
chango mean? And after that the .
sceno In tho suirllght?
A quickening of his pulso was the j
answer to theso questions. Jcanno ,
had told lilm thero wero only txvo '
men at Fort o' God, Pltrro and her
father. Then xvho could bo this third?
Ho thlvcred, and began loading his
plpo as ho walked. Ho xx-as certain
that tho master of Tort o' God did not
knoxr of tho tryst beyond tho rock,
and ho was equally certain that the
girl was unaxvaro of Plerro'n knowl
edge of tho meeting. Tlorro had re
mained hidden, Ilk himself, and ho
had given Philip to understand that
It was not tho first tlmo he had
looked upon tho meetings of Jcanno
and the man they had seen from the
shadoxv of tho rock. And yet, In splto
of all evidence, ho could not lose faith
In Jeanne. ,
Suddenly he saxv something ahead of
