We made the tour of the island without speaking. It was all too beautiful for speech. The trees crowded down to the shore to hear us pass. We saw their fine dark heads, bowed low with splendid dignity to watch us, forgetting for a moment that the stars were caught in the needled network of their hair.

lways felt a great respect that has more often than not been justified by experience; and now the curious emotion stirred in me by the girl's words remained somewhat vividly in my consciousness. I explained it in some measure by the fact that the girl, tired out by the fatigue of many days' travel, had suffered a vigorous reaction of some kind from the strong, desolate scenery, and further, perhaps, that she had been treated to my own experience of seeing the members of the party in a new light—the Canadian, being partly a stranger, more vividly than the rest of us. But, at the same time, I felt it was quite possible that she had sensed some subtle link between his personality and her own, some quality that she had hitherto ignored and that the routine of town life had kept buried out of sight. The only thing that seemed difficult to explain was the fear she had spoken of, and this I hoped the wholesome effects of camp-life and exercise would sweep away naturally in the course of time. I CONFESS I HAVE ALWAYS FELT A GREAT RESPECT THAT HAS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT BEEN JUSTIFIED BY EXPERIENCE AND NOW THE CURIOUS EMOTION STIRRED IN ME BY THE GIRL'S WORDS REMAINED SOMEWHAT VIVIDLY IN MY CONSCIOUSNESS I EXPLAINED IT IN SOME MEASURE BY THE FACT THAT THE GIRL TIRED OUT BY THE FATIGUE OF MANY DAYS TRAVEL HAD SUFFERED A VIGOROUS REACTION OF SOME KIND FROM THE STRONG DESOLATE SCENERY AND FURTHER PERHAPS THAT SHE HAD BEEN TREATED TO MY OWN EXPERIENCE OF SEEING THE MEMBERS OF THE PARTY IN A NEW LIGHT THE CANADIAN BEING PARTLY A STRANGER MORE VIVIDLY THAN THE REST OF US BUT AT THE SAME TIME I FELT IT WAS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT SHE HAD SENSED SOME SUBTLE LINK BETWEEN HIS PERSONALITY AND HER OWN SOME QUALITY THAT SHE HAD HITHERTO IGNORED AND THAT THE ROUTINE OF TOWN LIFE HAD KEPT BURIED OUT OF SIGHT THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMED DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN WAS THE FEAR SHE HAD SPOKEN OF AND THIS I HOPED THE WHOLESOME EFFECTS OF CAMP LIFE AND EXERCISE WOULD SWEEP AWAY NATURALLY IN THE COURSE OF TIME
