CHAPTER XXXVIII.

FOR several minutes after Allen
had gone Helen sat. her face
in her hands, waiting for the re-
fiuence Of her strength. Then she
walked back TO the library, where
she found David pacing restlessly 10
and fro. He saw that she was trem-
bling and very white; and forbearing 10
question her, he led her to a deep easy
easy chair before the open wood fire.
But she saw his suspense, and at once
told him that Allen would be silent
Gently, reVerently, David laid his
hand upon her hair, and of the things In
his heart he could only say, You saved

She drew his hand down, held it
against her cheek, and gazed ZIP into his
eyes. He sat on the arm of her chair.
They had both been through too great
strain to fall into easy converse, and
for several minutes each was filled with
quiVering thoughts.
Presently David remembered what he
had forgotten since entering the house

He told her the story, and when he had
ended he drew out the pocket contain

he said. and started toward the fire
place.
She laid a hand upon his arm. What
are you going to do?"

She shook her head and held out her
hand. 'No-you must not. Give them

He laid them in her hand. But why
DO you want them?'

she would take a nutshell and go down

And he used to make his brothers go
on long journeys through the woods TO
get a particular kind of nut Of which
he was very fond; and if they happened
to bring him one that was not good he
would find fault with them and tell
them that they didn't know good nuts

any MORE" and then he would go TO
sleep again.
Weeks passed by and it grew colder
and colder. and the snow came, and all
the squirrels began to draw on their
stores of nuts. Lazy found that he got
pretty hungry sometimes and that the
habit of eating and drinking all he
wanted in the summer made him want
to eat and drink all the wanted in the
winter. And as he had never taught
himself self-denial. he ate all he want
ed, and very early in the winter he
began to see that the nuts he had gath
cred would not last him half way
through the winter, and almost before
he knew it his whole store was ex-
hausted and he had nothing to eat.
Then he asked his mother to let him
have some of the nuts that she had
gathered. and being a kind mother she
let him have just as many as she could
but she still had to keep some for his
sick brothers. When she would not give
him all he thought he ought to have he
decided that he would go over to a
netghboring tree and ask a squirrel over
there for some Of his nuts, and for
weeks he went from one tree to another
begging nuts, until every squirrel in
the wood hated to see him coming, for
they knew he was going to beg food
self
At last he became so much of a nui-
sance that all the squirrels in the wood
held a meeting and decided that each
one of them would give two nuts TO
Lazy" as they now all called him, and
that he would have to live for the rest
of the winter on the store they con-
tributed or else starVe
When Lazy saw what a small store OF
nuts he had to live upon until spring
he was frightened. for he had eaten
almost as many nuts as thee were
there in a week.
But he knew he had to make them
last, so he ate very sparingly and his
sides begun to be less plump and his
cheeks less full, and by springtime he

He stepped back, and his face went as

''I love him." she said.
Again several moments passed before

words were 10 himself rather than TO
