OF savage despair he stood looking at

"What'll We do?" she said hopeless

Moreau spoke up encouragingly
Why don'tyou leave the wagon and

and you can stay there all night. The

When Moreau looked at her he ex-

the evident sufferings of the others had
not evoked. He was man of a deeply
tender and sympathetic nature toward
all that was helpless and weak. AS. his
glance met the face of this woman. he
thought she was the most piteous OBJ

he said, and see what you can do. You

man loosed the harness, lifted the pole,
and let the creature lie free from in
cumbrance. The other horse, freed, too,
stood dropping, too spent to move from
where 1t had stopped. If other testi-
mony were needed of the terrible jour
ney they were ending, one saw it in the
gaunt face of the man, scorched by the
sun, scanned with lines, with fringe OF
ragged beard, and long locks OF un-
kempt hair hanging from beneath his
miserable hat.
