Carla came to his office again, hut always with Claire. She was unlike the Carla who brought him flowers, so different from her that he wus left with a dully painful sense of loss when he was alone and thinking about her, as if someone very dear to him had died, leavThe ing only memories behind. paradoxical reason for H1I3 emotion In him was that Carla appeared to he strangely and forgetfully happy. She was lively and gay and Joined freely In the small social affairs of the camp, from which she had always held herself more or less apart. She talked only a little of I'eribonka, and the forests, and of the places which he know she loved, but seemed to hold her heart when listening to Claire's colorful descriptions of Interesting places his wife had visited. The two had a real affection for each other. No matter how uncertainty might cloud his Judgment In other ways, there could he no doubt about this sentiment of mutual regard which had grown up quickly between them. One evening Claire said to him: "It Is strange how deeply 1 care for Carla. There Is something about her which drags me out of myself, to her. i'et I am finding It more and more Impossible to paint her as I want her, she Is so completely changed. Where Is the real Carla. Caul? What has happened to her? Do you know?" Her head was bowed over a hit of lace work In her lap, and she did new not look at I'n ul. "I have noticed the change In her," he said. "It has happened since you came. 1 think you have helped to bring her out of the terrible grief which oppressed her after her mother's death." Claire smiled gently nt her husband. For a few moments a contemplative light lav In her eyes, as If she were looking not at him but at a child. "You think the Is happier since I came?'' "There Is no doubt of It," he declared. "Hut I cannot paint her. And It Is because there Is so much behind what she Is trying jo make us see In her face."

On Urn notn!:i8 tt this eventful fifteenth of June, with sunshine and birds iibmit them, be and Derwent rode a little behind their wives and Carla, mid hcvor bad Chilre looked so lively to hint.

Tor half ft tulle they foibnved n trail so cb.se to river that Its roaring tumult C t.eJ their voices and cobwebby drifts of spray came to wet their faces. Through this' Paul rode close to the side of his wife, and saw her smile and fight to hide Its effect upon her. Then they struck Indian file Into the nnrrow, rocky, deeply rooted trail to the gorge, with Haul at the head of the little procession and Derwent following last. Occasionally the trail widened so that Haul could drop back and ride beside Claire, and each time he noted a little more In her face and eyes the thing she was fighting against, her dislike of the black forests and the earthly sniellitv: swamps and the rock fragments of hills they were traveling through. Toward they came to the Hig gorge. Those who have seen It can never forget the spectacle of its thundering water tearing Itself out of a finger of the cavernous Laurentinns, crashing through the open for a apace In whirling maelstroms, then narrowing Into a avalanche of Irsullen, resistible force as It descends Into a chasm whose rock walls become higher and closer, until, at Inst, its fury and voice disappear again Into the bowels of the Laurentlans, making the' earth tremble with lis subterranean rumble and roar. Its effects on Claire was not what Taul had anticipated. To bis amazement It was she who suggested they spread their luncheon on the edge of a great slab of rock which projected Into the stream, and from where they could look upon the wonderful play of water below them. This rock, several acres In extent, was covered with soil which was continually absorbing moisture from the river, so that It had clotlied Itself with a carpet of flowers and grass until It was an oasis of beauty in the heart of a landscape which otherwise would have possessed little to offset Its more forbidding aspects. It was Claire who also selected the spot for their tablecloth and who arranged their places afterward so that all might sit looking toward the month of the overhung chasm, several hundred yards down-streafrom the rock which held Us tenure like an Indomitable guardian before it. Iiet ween their position and the abyss of the gorge was a black and Irresistible sweep of water which had the appearance of a Hood of boiling oil on Its way to the mouth of a huge funnel. Halfway to the orifice a rock siowly wearing away with the centuries reared Its grim and battered head out of (lie stream, cutting It tike a knife In two equal parts, liven above this Jagrred tooth of stone was no glint of sunlit whiteness of froth or foam, and no sound came from this part of the channel except a sullen murmur ami lending still greater reality to the caprice of thought that water m;it metamorphose Itself to nil before the throat of the gorge would receive It. it was from the other side of the table rock that the chief tumult came, where for half n mile or more the huge churns of the river bed were at work, slashing and twisting the floods ttntil, Haul thought, they were an Inspiring and beautiful thing to look upon. Yet it was the darker and more sinister side that Claire cho-e- , with a scene under their eyes that was awesome but equally colossall.v unbeautif.lt.
