Lawrence's blood began to thrill, but he
said nothing. For half a mile after the vii.
lage the country was open, and beyond the
snow-covered ridges OF the fields lay the
forest in purple and brown. When the
sportsman and his tOw-haired bareheaded
guide reached the forest path they saw

gun barrels thrilled through his glove to his
