CHAPTER v.
| A cold, stern faced man stood on bleak hill |
side watching the angry sunset. He was pale |
and careworn-One of those men whose faces |
you will remember if you see them often enough |
He walked slowly and thoughtfully up the |
hill, with an expression in his eyes ike that of

The north wind blew chill, and seemed to
wall with a saddeDed voice. He wondered,
with vague unrest, whether, if the wind were
conscious, 1t might not know things that he
i didn know and whether it were of any use
to know things that the wind, if it were not
conscious, couldn't know, and so forth.
he thought all this, because he was that
kind of man.
When he reached the top of the hill he burst
into tears.

} loves her to madness; he is my friend; honor
l forbids me to see her more. My lot is hard
aye, harder than hinges !"

D which unnamed him. Then he strobe rapidly
away down the hill, and was lost to sight.
And the sun went on setting just as before in
its couch of angry flaming clouds, and the wind
: walled more sadly as the purple shadows Of
D night crept up that now deserted hillside.
