But he went to her desk, thir.klnz in this long, solitary evening, to destroy various papers that she might wish destroyed before the cabin was deserted. And here he found her let to*. II»* found it only after he had some what explored the different small drawers and pigeonholes of the desk, drawers and pigeonholes which were, to his surprise, all in astonishing or der f';r Alii. Everything was u^irked,. tied, pocketed ~ r her accounts were bai- | anted, and if she had anywhere left : private papers, they were at least no- ■ where to be foi^ad. Seeing in all this a dread contirma- ; tion of his first suspicion of her death. ; Peter nevertheless experienced a shock when he found he? letter. It had been placed in an empty drawer, face up, and was sealed, and , addressed simply with his name. lie sat holding it in his hand, and moments passed before he could open it. So it had been trae, then, the fear that he had tried all th»se weeks to crush? He had been weighing, meas uring, remembering, until his very soul was sick with the uncertainty. His mind had been a confused web of memories, of this casual word and that look, of what she had possibly heard, had probably seen, had suspect ed —known — Now he would know, He tore open the envelope, and the dozen written lines were before his eyes. The let ter was dated, a most unusual thing for Aiix to do, and "Saturday, one j o'clock," was written under the date. ! It was the day of her death. He read: "Peter, Dear—Don't feel too badly if I find a stupid way out. I've been thinking for several days about it. You've done so much for me, and after you, of course, there's no one but Cherry. She could be free now, he couldn't prevent it. When I saw your face a few minutes ago I knew we couldn't fight it. Remember, this is our secret. And always remember that I want you to be happy because I love you so!" It was unsigned. Peter sat staring at it for a while without moving, without the stir of a changing expression on his face. Then he folded it up, and put it in the pock et of his coat, asd went out to the back yard, where Kow was feeding the chickens. The wet, dark day was end ing brilliantly in a wash of red sun set light that sent long shadows from the young fruit trees, and touched every twig with a dull glow. "Kow," Peter said, after an effort to speak that was unsuccessful. Tlie Chinese boy looked at him ly; for Peter's face was ashen, and about his mouth were drawn lines* "Kow," he said, "I go now!' "Go now other house?" Kow nodded, glancing toward the valley. But Peter Jerked his head instead toward the bare ridge. "No, I go now—not come back I" he said, briefly. "Tonight—maybe Bo linas —tomorrow, Inverness. I don't know. By and by the big mountains, Kow—by and by I forget!" Tears glittered in the Chinese boy's eyes, but he smiled with a great air of cheer. "I keep house!" he promised. The dog came fawning and spring ing from the stables, and Peter whis tled to him. "Come on Buck! We're going now!" lie opened the farmyard gate where her hand had so often rested, crossed the muddy corral, opened another gate, and struck off across tli& darken ing world toward the ridge. The last sunlight lingered on crest and tree-top, tangled itself redly in the uppermost branches of a few tall redwoods, and was gone. Twilight—a long twilight that had in it some hint of spring—lay softly over the valley; the mountain loomed high in the clear shadow. Gaining the top of the first ridge, he paused and looked back at the cabin, the little brown house that he had built almost fifteen years ago. He re membered that it was in the beginning a sort of experiment; his mother and he were too much alone in their big city house, and she had suggested, with rare wisdom, that as he did not care for society, and as his travels al ways meant great loneliness for her. he should kave a little eyrie of his own, to which he might retreat when ever the fancy touched him. She liked Del Monte and Tahoe, her self, but she had come to Mill Valley now and then in the days of his first wild delight in its freedom and beau ty, silk-gowned and white-gloved and very much disliking dust. She had sent him plants, roses, and fruit trees, and she had told him one day that he had a neighbor in the valley who was an old friend of hers, a Doctor Strick land, a widower, with children. He remembered sauntering up the opposite canyon to duly call upon this Inventor-physician one day, and his delight upon finding a well-read, mu sic-loving, philosophic, erratic man, who had at once recognized a kindred spirit, and who had made the younger man warmly welcome.' Presently, on the first call, an en chanting little girl i« a shabby smock had come in—a little girl all dimples, demureness and untouched boyish beauty. She had said that "Anne ;vath mad wiv her, and that Alix—" she managed to lisp the name, "wath u;- in the madrone!"
