"Nothing."
"I want you to go to sleep now, you will be perfectly safe here. I am going down the cañon to search—"
"No," said the girl apprehensively. "I dare not be left alone here; besides I know how dangerous it would be for you to try to descend the cañon in this rain. You have risked enough for me, you must wait until the morning. I shall feel better then."
"But think of the anxiety of your friends."
"I can't help it," was the nervous reply. "I am afraid to be left alone here at night."
Her voice trembled, he was fearful she would have a nervous breakdown.
"Very well," he said soothingly, "I will not leave you till the morning."
"Where will you stay?"
"I'll make a shakedown for myself in the store room," he answered. "I shall be right within call at any time."
It had grown dark outside by this time and the two in the log hut could barely see each other.
