up and captured the steak. Pat

CHAPTER XIII.


Signals.
There were a good many days after
that-not days at all, really, but an in
terminable period of night-which
were broken for Jeanne by no ray of
hope whatever. She kept Philip and
herself alive, from day to day, and this
occupation left her hardly time enough
to think whether there was anything
to hope for or not.
Much of the time Philip vas deliri.
GUS; sometimes violently so. and ye<
she often had to leave him. When she
did SO, 1t was with no certainty at all
that she would find him alive upon hex
return.
At last the conviction was forced
upon her that Philip was actually on
the road to recovery. His delirium be-
came less violent n occurred at long
or intervals. The frightful condition
Of his wounds began v1sibly to i'm
prove. Instinctively she resisted this
conviction as long as she could, refus'
ing almost ~passionately to begin tc
hope-for the return of hope brought
an almost in%tolerable pain with It
Without hope there had been no fear,
no apprehension-just as in a frozen
limb there Is nc pain. But, as the pos
sibility of his recovery became plain
er, the slenderness Of the thread by
which his life was hanging became
palmer, too. A thousand chances
which she could not guard against
might cut the thread and destroy the
hope newborn.
He was able, at last, after q long
sleep and a really hearty meal of sus
tanning food-which she hardly dared
give him-to get up and walk out OF
their shelter to the star-vaulted beach
Fifty PAGES or so was all he was equal
to; but at the end OF the little prom
enade he expressed a disinclination to

had been the scene OF his long illness
The clean, wide, %boundless air was
bringing back the zest for life to
him. So Jeanne brought out from
the hut a great bundle Of furs and
made a nest Of them on the beach,
and there he lay back and she sat
down beside him.
