The Converging Trails. \ Whatever the feeling of the others, ‘Armastrong found himself unable to sleep that night. it seemed to him that fate was about to play him the meanest and most fantastic of tricks Many times before in his crowied life be had loved other women, or sy he «haracterized his feclings, but his nasâ€" sion for Louise Rosser Newbold had been in a class by itself ul"i‘i:e’{:ad met Enid Maitland. Between theftwo there had been miny women, but these two wereabe high points, the rest was Jowland. Once before, therefore, this Newbold had cut in ahead of him and had won the woman he loved. Armstrong had cberished a hard grudge against him for a long time. lie had not been of those who had formed the â€"rescue party led by old Kirkby and Maitland which had buried the poor woman on the great butte in the deep can Before he got buck to the canmip the whole affair was over and Newbol!ld had departed. Luckily for him, Armâ€" strong had always thought, for he had been so mad with grief and rage and jealousy that if he had. come mcross him, helpless or not, he would have killed him out of hand. _‘ . Armstrong had soon enough forgotâ€" temn Louise Rosser, but he had not forgotten Newbold. All his ancient anâ€" imosity had flamed into inslant life again, at the sight of his name last night. The inveteracy of his haired had been in no way abated by the lapse of time, it seemed. Everybody in the mining camp bad supposed that Newbold had wandered off and perished in the mountains, else Armstrong might have pursued him and hunted him down. The sight of his name on that piece of paper was outward and visible evidence that he still lived., It*had almost the shock of a resurrection, and a resurrection to hatred rather than to tove. if Newbold had been @lone in the world, if Armstrong had chanced upon him in the l(\fli(ude, he would have hated him just as he did, but when he, thought that his ancient enemy was with the woman ke now loved, with a growing intensity beside which his former re: sentment scemed weak and feeble he kated him yet the more. He could not tell when the notice, which he had examined carefully, war written; there was no date upon it, but he could come to only one conciuâ€" sion. . Newbold must have.found Enid Maitland alope in the mountains very shortly after her departure, and hbe had her with him in his cabin alone for at least a month. | Arisstrong gritted his teeth at the thought. He did not undervalue the personaiity of Newbold. Ho had nover happened to see bim, but he had heard erough about him 6 umderstand his qualiâ€" ties as a man. The tie thit bound Armstrong to Â¥aid Maitland was a strong one, but the tie by which he held her to him, i indeed he held ber at all, was vory tenuous and easily broken;. perhaps (m\‘\"ns broken â€" alâ€" ready, and so he h. him still more and more. a Indeed, his nnimosity was so great and growing that for the moment he took no josy in the asgursure o5 ot‘‘e girl‘s safciy; yet he was not :C tier an unfair man, and ir colmer oo crouls be thanked God in his own coâ€" ~ szoop that the woman b«e lovoi ~ ut {well, or Lad been when the note was written. He Tejoiced that she had not {been swept away with the flood or that she had not been lost in the movntains and foreed to wander on finally‘ to starve and freeze and die. In one moâ€" ment her nearness caused his heart to ithrob with joyful anticipation. _ The certainty that at the first flush of day he should seeck her again sent the warm blood to his cheeks. But those thoughts would be succeeded by the ‘knowledgo that sho was with his enâ€" emy. Was this min to rob him of the A , Romancee ».._,60 (CVV'UL that upon your physical condition depends your comfort and usefulâ€" nessâ€"that your condition will be bettered, your vigor increasedâ€" when your bowels are regulated, your | liver stimulated and your digestion made sound. by Never BEECHAM‘S PILLS _ Sold ....-,:k'.: . _ «_ In boxes, ts CHAPTER XX.

Perhaps the hardest task that was ever laid upon Armstrong was to lie quietly in his sleeping bag and walt until the mo?'nln‘ So socn as the first indication of | dawn showed over the crack of the | door, he slipped quietly out of his sleening bag and without disturbing the erhers drew on his boots, put on j his heavy fur coat and cap and gloves, ;/ slung his Winchester and his snow | shoes over his shoulder, and w(thout‘ stopping for a bite to eat, softly openâ€" ed the «doâ€"r, stepped out and closed i”- after him. it was quite dark in the | bcttom of the canon, although a Ievl] pale gleams overhead indicated the| near approach of day.

He had slipped away from the others because he wantcd to be first to see the man and the wo.man. â€" Ho did not want any witnossos to that meeting. They would have come on later, of course; but he wantcd an hour or two in priâ€". vate with Fnid and Newbold without any interruption. His conscience was not clesr. Nor could he settle upon a course of action, How i»:ch Newbold knew of his former mtlempt to winâ€"away his wife, how mucl of what he knew he had told Enid Maiilangd, Armstrong: could not surmisc. | Putting himself into Newbold‘s pliace and imagining â€"that" the engincer had possessed entire inâ€" formation, he déccided that he must have told everyihing to Enid Maitâ€" land as on as be had found out the quasi relition between ber and Armâ€" strong. And Armstrong did not believe the wonn he loved could be in anyâ€" body‘s ;esence a month without tell ing something about him. Still, it was possible that Newbold knew nothing, and in:c he told nothing therefore. The sitzation was paralyzing to a man of Armstrong‘s decided, determinâ€" ed temuzcrament. lc conid not decide upsn tho line of conduct he should pursuc. fHis course in this, the most critical emergoncy he had ever faced, must be determined by cireumstances of which he felt with savage resentâ€" ment he was in some measure the eport. ie wonld have to leave to chanee â€" bat ought to be subject to his will.

There was something titanic and magnificent about this tron determination and perâ€" sistence of Armstrong. The two most powerful passions which move humanâ€" uyvmnlhatvm; love led him and hate drove him. Aud the two were so intermingled that it was difâ€" ficult to say which predominated, now one and now the other. The resultant of the two forces, hovot‘ was an onward move that would be deâ€" r‘lhrough which Armstrong | struggice | forward. As he followed the windings lur the canon, not daring to ascend to ‘the summit on either wall and seek ‘short cuts across the range, he was | sensible that he was constantly rising. ;There were many indications to his | experienced mind; the decrease in the | height ‘of the surrounding pines, the | increasing rarity of the iey air, the !growing difficulty in breathing under the sustained exertion he was making, lthe quick throbbing of his accelerated heart, all told him he was approaching | his journey‘s end. HIis fur coat was goon covered with snow and ice, the sharp needles of the storm cut his face wherever it was exâ€" posed. The wind forced its way through his garments and chilled bim to the bone. He had eaten"nothing since the night before, and his vitalâ€" ity was not at its flood, but he pressed on, and there was something grand in bis indom{table progress.. Excelâ€" / Back in the hut Kirkby and Maitland sat around the fire waiting most impaâ€" tiently for the wind to blow itself out and for that srow to stop falling He judged that he must now be drawirg near the source of the stream, and that be would presently come upon the skeiter.

He would not .ye dired 10 unbuttor his coat t :ance at bis watch, and it is diZtcul + measure the fiying minme«s in such cenes as those through which he pagsâ€" »d, but be thougkt he must have gone it Jeast seven miles in porhaits three aours, which he farciecd had elapsed, his progress in "the last_two having been frightfully siow.

Suddenly a quick turn in the cauon, a passege (hrough a narrow entrance oetween lofty c‘iffs, and be found himâ€" self in a pocket or a circular amphiâ€" theater which he could see was closed on the farther &‘de. The bottom of this enclosure or valley was covered with pines, now drooping under tremendous burdens of srow. > In the midst of the pines a lakclet was frozen solid; the ice was covered with the same daz zling carpet of white. e could have scen nothing of this bad not the sudden storm now stopped as precipitately almost as it had be gun. Indee:l, accustomed to the grayâ€" ‘mess of the snow fall, his eyes were fairly dazzled by the bright light of the sun, now quite high. over the range, which struck hifi full in the {ace. encouraged by the sudden stilling of the storm, he stepped out of the canon and ascended a little knoll whence he had a full view of the pocket over the tops of the pines. Shading his eyes from the light with his hand as best he could, he glowly swept the circumferâ€" ence with his ‘eager glance, seeing nothing until his evye fell upon a huge broken trail of rocks projecting from the snow, indicating the ascent to & broad shelf of the mountains across the lake to the right. Following this he.saw a huge block of snow which suggested dimly the outlines of & hut! Was that the place? Was she there? He stared fascinated and as he did so a thin curtâ€"of Smoke rose above the snow heap and wavered up in the cold, quiet air! ‘That was a human habitaâ€" tion, then. It could be none other than the hut referred to in the note. Enid Maitland must be there; and Newbold ! BRofras What creatures"of habit we are: Early in that same morning, after one vain attempt again to infuence the woman who was now the deciding and determining factor, and who geemed to be taking the man‘s place, Newbold, ready for his joutney, bad torn himâ€" melf away from ber presence and had yiuuged down the giant stair. He‘bad done everything that mortal man could do for her comfort; wood enough to last her for two weeks had been taken from the cave and piled in the kitchâ€" en and everywhere so as to be cagily accessible to her; the stores she alâ€" ready had the run of, and be had fitâ€" ted a stout bar to the outer door which would render it impregnable to any attack that jpight be made against it, tltbough’gu c‘no quarter from which any as impended.
