look upon his face. and the bars Of a
captain gracing the shoulders of his
new cavalry jacket, Donald Brant
trotted down the stage road bordering
the Bear Water, his heart alternating
between hope and dread.
The familiar yellow house at the
crossroads appeared so unattractive
as to suggest the thought that Nadia
must have been inexpressibly lonely
during those months of waiting. He
knocked at the sun-warped door.
Without delay 1t was flung open. and
a vision of flushed face aud snowy
drapery confronted him.
