She and Constantine have been acting
very strangely of late. She used to be
the happiest sort of creature, always
laughing and singing, but she has

weeks. Both she and Constantine are
forever whispering to each other and

nervous myself Then, as the Indian
girl came flying back with her tiny
baby brother in her arms, Cherry add
ed: shes pretty, isn't she? I can't
bear ugly people around me.''
At the native village, in spite Of
every effort she and Boyd could make,

we were making showing at least.
Now!" He flung up his hands in a
gesture of despair. George is in
trouble, as usual. Marsh's men have
cut our nets, and the yacht may ar.

that she follows you from Chicago
clear up into this wilderness. Then
you won't need my assistance any
more, will you?" Her lids dropped,
half hiding her eyes, and her face
hardened.
"Of course I shall need your help.
Her coming won't make any differ

''It strikes me that you have allowed

this enterprise, while you have known
all the time that she was coming

Cherry. Doesn't she care enough
about you? Doesn't she know enough
to understand your plight:''
YES, but this is my fight, and I've
