behind the table, where she must have
sprung hastily at the first sound of
their approach, clutching at the rude
mantel above the fireplace, and staring
toward him, her face white, her breath
the vision a dream, delirium born
from his long struggle; he could not
conceive the possibility of such pres
ence in this lonely place. and stagger-
ing to his feet, gazed wildly, dumbly
at the slender, gray clad figure, the al
most girlish face under the shadowing
dark hair, expecting the marvellous
vision to vanish. Surely this could
not be real! A woman, and such a
woman as this here, and alone, of all
places! He staggered from weakness,
almost terror, and grasped the table
to hold himself erect. The rising
wind came swirling in through the
open door, causing the fire to send
forth spirals of smoke, and he turned,
dragging the dazed negro within, and
swapping the latch behind him. When
he glanced around again he fully be.
lteved the vision confronting him
would have vanished. But no! there
she yet remained, those wide-open,
frightened brown eyes, with long lash
es half hiding their depths, looking d.
rectly into his own; only now she had
slightly changed her posture, leaning
toward him across the table. Like a
flash he comprehended that this was
