For hours the wilderness was heavy about Kent. He moved restlessly, at times he seemed about to awaken, but always he slipped back into the slumberous arms of his forests. He was on the trail in the cold, gray beginning of Winter, and the glow of his campfire made a radiant patch of red glory in the heart of the night, and close to him in that glow sat O'Connor.

"Then you can take off your hat and freshen up a bit, and we can look over the ship." He led her cleverly through the now wildly churning crowds, into the comparative quiet of the saloon. Here they found Mrs. O'Connor, surrounded by an anxious group of travelers. Stephen put Susan into her charge, and the two women studied each other with interest.

I asked, somewhat puzzled, for dinners, even Castle dinners, are not rare in Salemina's experience. "Yes, her chance," repeated Benella mysteriously; "you'd know well enough what I mean, if you'd ben born and brought up in Salem, Massachusetts!"

"La!" said Miss Ormsby, "how severe your ladyship is; and all only for one's asking for a pattern!" "But you know," pursued Mrs. O'Connor, "that Lady Geraldine is too proud to take pattern from any body." "Too proud am I? Well, then, I'll be humble; I'll abase myself shall I?
