Alvin vented a short laugh. ut is most
ingenious, comrade. The only trouble with
it is that 1 have no ambition to go either
to Norway or to England"
This time 1t was he who sealed her lips.
as her amazement was about to burst
through them.
Give me a hearing and you will under
stand I do not wish to go to England,
because 1 could do nothing there to i'm
prove my credit in any way. My kin have
disappeared like withered grass, and the
Danes are all-powerful. 1 do not wish to
be more than runaway slave; and,
though 1 strove to my uttermost, 1t is I'M
likely that I could ever acquire either
wealth or influence-and without both how
would it ever be possible to win you? See
how the north has conquered! First,it was
only my body that was bound, and I was
sure that If ever I got my freedom I should
enter the service of some English lord and
die fighting against the Danes. And now a
Morse maiden has conquered my heart, so
that would not take my liberty if it were
offered me; have thought of it. night and
day. until at last see the truth. The only
chance 1 have is with Left.
Helga wrung her hands violently. You
must be crazy If you think so! He would
strike you down the instant his eyes
cit is not my intention that he shall know
me until he has had cause to soften toward
me- Do you not remember Skroppa' S
prophecy? Has not Sigurd told you of it
that It is IN this new untrodden country
that my fate is to be decided? / will dis
guise myself in some way and go on this
exploring expedition among his following.
l shall have many chances to be of service
to him."
But suppose they should not come soon
enough? Suppose your disguise should be
too shallow? His eyes are like arrows that
pierce everything they are aimed at. Sup
pose he should recognize you at once"'
The new grimness again squared Alwin's
mouth Then one of two things will hap
pen. Either he will pardon me for the
sake Of what have already endured. or
else he will keep to his first intention and
kill me- In neither case will we be worse
off than we were four months ago."
Such logic admitted Of no reply. and Hell
ga gave way to It, But so much anguish
was betrayed in her face that Alvin gave
another short laugh and asked her:
'Who is 1t now that love is making a
coward OFT"
She shook her head gravely. II am no
coward 1t gladdens me to have you face
death in this way and to know that you
will not murmur even II luck goes against

life away; and you know no prudence. Let

And have decided to make believe that I

their tongue, which will help to disguise
my speech. But how l am to cover up my
short hair. or account for my appearance
in Greenland" He shrugged his shoul-
ders and dropped his chin upon his fist.
Helga clasped her hands around her knee
and stared at him thoughtfully. Il have
heard Sigurd tell of a strange wonder he
saw in France-I do not know what you
call it-like hood made of peoples hair.
A girl who had lost her hair through sick
ness was wont to wear It: and Sigurd did
not even suspect that 1t was rootless until
one day she caught the ends in her cloak,
and pulled 1t off. If you could get one OF
those"
"Ifr' Alvin murmured
But Helda did not hear him. Suddenly,
in the dim perspective of her mind. she
had caught a glimpse Of plan. AS she
darted at It. it eluded her; but she chased
1t to and fro, seeing it more clearly at
each turn. tinaly she caught it. She
leaped up and opened her mouth to shout
it forth, when an impulse of Editha's cau-
ton touched her. and instead, she threw
her arms around his neck and laughed

His face kindled as he unused on II. 1T

ceive me well for his sake; and after
had got everything for my disguise, would
have yet many good chances to return TO

In a sudden burst of gratitude, he caught
her hands and kissed them. "All is due to

You must be Valkyria! Only a great
hero is worthy maid like YOU.
Laughing with pleasure, she hid her face
on his breast.
And 1t must be that her plan possessed
some of the advantages she claimed for
1t, for 1t came to pass that on the same
day that Gill and his daughter set sail

voice, with a note of happiness thrilling
through It like the tril! in a canary's song.
Egil turned from the field in which his
men were ploughing. and came slowly to
where she stood leaning over the fence that
separated the field from the lane. He
guessed from her voice that they had told
her the secret. and when he came near

Ills lowering brow scowled itself into a
harder knot. With the death of his father,
he had thrown aside the scarlet clothes of
Leif's men. and wore the brown homespun
of a farmer. From his neck downward,
everything spoke OF thrift and industry and
peace. But his fierce dark face looked the
harsher for the contrast.

clump of white birch trees, she caught sight
Of tiny cabin nestled in their green shell

THAT Is Solveig's house; now remember
1t! How is 1t possible that it has held such
a secret for four months, and still looks
just as usual? Let us hurry She seized
his arm to pull him along. Only when he
wrenched away and came to a dead STOP
did she sacken her pace to stare at him
over her shoulder.

shouted,
She thought him already SO and drew

He waited to take fresh grip on his self

Before she could gather her wits together

after him, open-mouthed. until her eye fell
upon the cabin among the bushes when
