could see large forms moving away
from him; then came the flood of GRIM
son light, and he made out that the
figures were a drove of huge Gland.
His eyes flashed with eagerness. 1t
was a long shot; but he knew that no
more was required than to pierce the
skin on any part of his quarry's body.
He put his fingers between his teeth
and sent out a piercing whistle. Ii
was trick he had tried more than
once on deer and pronghorn antelope
AS he expected, the Gland halted and
swung half around Their ox-like sides
presented mark hard to miss.
He rose and shot as they were
wheeling to fly. Before he could fit his
second arrow to the string the whole
herd were running off at numbering
gallop. He lowered his bow and walked
after the animals, smiling with grim
anticipation. He had seen his arrow
strike against the side of the young
bull at which he had aimed.
So great was the abundance OF meat
that Blake worked all the remainder
Of the day and all night stringing the
flesh on the curing racks, and Miss
Leslie tried out pot after pot of fat
and tallow, until every spare vessel
was filled and she had to resort to a
hollow In the rock beside the spring
Blake promised to make more pots
as soon as he could fetch the clay, but
he had first to dress the Gland hide
and prepare new stock of thread and
cord from parts of the animal which
he was careful not to let her see.
Whatever their concern for the fu
ture-and even Blake's was keen ant

time being might have been considered

VEN had it not been for her
--| doubts of Blake, the girls
~ modesty would have caused
her to think twice before repeating to
>hi.n the Englishman's insulting pro-
Nposal. While she yet hesitated and
delayed. Winthrope came down with
a second attack of fever. Blake. who
until then had held himself sullenly
apart from him as well as from Miss
Leslie, at once softened to a gentler,
or at least. to more considerable
mood. Though his speech and bearing
continued morose, he took upon him
self all the duties Of night nurse, be-
sides working and foraging several
hours each day.
Much to Miss Leslie's surprise. she
found herself tending the invalid
through the daytime almost as though
nothing had happened. But everything
about this wild and perilous life was
SC strange and unnatural to her that
she found herself accepting the most
unconventional relations as n regular
consequence of the situation. She
was feverishly eager for anything that
might occupy her mind; for she felt
that to brood over the future might
mean madness. The mere thought OF
the possibilities was far too terrifying
to be calmly dwelt upon. Though
slight, there had been some little com
fort in the belief that she could rely
on Winthrope. But now she was left
alone with her doubt and dread. Ever

When he came to the ant-hill, he
found companions and honey alike
gone. He went on to the cocoanuts.
There he came upon Winthrope

way beyond. nervously bending
