 Even in this dim light he could see that his guest flushed as she replied: "A Spaniard. sir-one Senor Gonzaga, to whom am betrothed," she con- cluded, with sudden inability to parry truth with this man, upon whose brow sat a fearless honesty.
 And Owatoga will not have you marry him? see; instead, he brought you for safe-keeping to the old man of the woods. Owatoga and have been friends for many weeks; you see, we both love the forest, and in our ram- blings have often met"

 "Owatoga does not know" was the rejoinder-calm. indifferent, as of one who has shifted responsibility.

 You call this seeming forfeit?' and from his breast he drew yellow envelope which he handed her with the one word: "Read!" A yellow en- velope he had stolen from among a packet of Winslow's papers carelessly left in the inn parlor.
 She glanced it through rapidly, then without speaking, let her hands drop to her side. crushing tightly the vel low page. Her face, her eyes grew suddenly dull and lifeless-gray as the lining of the cottonwood leaves that sighed above her head.

 She only said: T understand" and they went on in silence to where the horse was tethered by the wayside. The old gig, its dusty sides Tapping in the wind, stretched empty shafts, like long, hungry arms. across the road. Lavender climbed into the seat to await the return of Gonzaga, who had taken the horse to drink from the hol- low log at the rear of the church. Alone and unobserved, Lavender drew the slip of paper from the little black bag that hung at her waist. Through tears which dimmed the scrawling characters she read the words:
 "She will be there; she needs you; come secretly-I ask this favor by my double right. Belle Price"
 Unnoticed she sat apart from the crowd which was dispersing now with jest and banter.
 Unnoticed-save by two men, who, starting to walk to the village, looked back, and stopped at sight of her.

Winslow shaded his eyes. Even al this distance he recognized the grace full heap of muslin in the dusty gig He stared long, but said nothing, and made no move in her direction.
 My brother will not go, then?" for Owatoga had divined his masters in- decision-knew his desire to join her whom his eyes held thus in mute gaze, admiring, tender.
 To his surprise, the answer was sud- den. vehement. No, Owatoga. I will not go. It would only make me feel more the fool of fortune when that Spanish bravo busters up with his air of ownership. Some day, shall find out why he dares."

 He failed to note that the Indian did not follow. Intent upon his unhappy thoughts. he did not hear the sig nificant repetition of his words: He must not have her" with which owa- toga went bsck-straight 10 the girl in the wagon.
 At the Indians approach, she slipped the yellow envelope with its-to her ominous revelation. again into the silk bag.
 Good morning. Owatoga. I feared you were not going to grant me as much as a nod of your feather to-day" she said. with forced lightness.
 But he had no time to waste in pleasantly: the Spaniard might return at any moment. He placed one great tawny hand on the dashboard. and his eyes were on a level with her own "Ths white maiden come with yonder oneg" and he pointed down the way the spaniard had taken.

you are not going to marry him right away-that is plain. For the present you are safe-as are all women under the care of old Daniel Boone"
 As he thus announced himself. Law ander gave pleased start of sur prise, and glanced at Owatoga, who nodded sagaciously. For in Lavender's short stay in the district of St. Charles she had heard of the Kentucky pioneer. whose coming among them was mat ter of pride to all in the new coun- try. That he was a commandant-a sort of civil and military power-she could not reconcile with his presence here, and so-after . time-she told him.
 No office can hold me all the year round, my grill must have freedom; 1 shall never outgrow my love for the forest. When Boone is too old to wander in it, he wants to lie under It." He paused a moment, gazing into the fire with serious. thoughtful eyes, then: 'I have only come for a breath ing-spell; it is too early for good sport but there are always some things wait ing for the gun. you know. Besides. such weather suits my old bones bet ter than the fur months, with the rains and frost"

 At last he ceased abruptly in the midst of a tale of early adventure. "The night grows late, and the ire is low. I must not keep you up to lis- ten to an old mans ramblings."
 He and Owatoga talked apart for some time. and the girl sank into list less apathy. Fatigue and anxiety left her no strength for planning or practi- cal thoughts, and with eyes staring into the dying embers, she sat needless of the preparations they made for her nights comfort Then Daniel Boone approached. and. bending over. smoothed the soft hair which waved on either side the narrow line from brow to crown.

 Then. as he saw her shoulders rise and fall with sobs: Nay, cheer up, my pioneer, you are of the right fiber, as l can see already; q little toughening will not hurt the grain"
 She rose, and looking up into his kind eyes. said: T can be brave for myself, Col. Boone. but what of those left be- hind? What of my fathers anxiety what of my mother? She has been-is yet-very i'll; how will she bear my ab- sence7"

If, then, as he said. her mothers anxiety would be relieved. the chief load was lifted from her heart. Whatever was his reason for taking her away-freak. vhim, or savage fancy. she felt sure it would not be for long. and. above all. she need have no personal fear.
