Evidently he found no reserve behind her words, for he broke into a laugh and shook his head at her.,“No, I reckon I’ll let you go alone. Me for the high places!”,Noon still found them ascending and they ate their lunch and hurried on. It was sizzling. There were some trees, but these were few and far between. Most of the footing was sandy and made hard walking. Owing to these conditions it was not until after nightfall that they saw the first sign of civilization.

"What is it you wish to tell me?""To my cost, major; but he did not love me. This girl--this Miss Dallas," she added in a faltering voice, "she must be very lovely, for Mr. Sarby loves her also.

Rather is he melancholy now and then, and inclined to look on life apart from Mona as a doubtful good.,"Oh not for ever so long," returns she, with much and heartless unconcern.
