Yadasara.
A great cloud hung over the plain,

Daria's soft voice and her clinging
arm recalled me to the present.

IT shall never forget It," l answered
"You will be with me. How shall

We mounted and sped onward again.

The princess looked at me and was
silent But she never quite forgave
Organ. He had deserted a woman,
she declared. She did not know how
capable Bridget was Of looking after
herself.
So we rode on, and no one followed
us. And the farther we went the
more our spirits lightened.

The road we were travelling ended
almost abruptly. A rocky barrier was

So far as we could judge we were
standing midway between where the
water leaped from the rock to where
1t touched the ground below.
Daria had not spoken. Now she

water fell clear of the rock from which
1t sprang.
May there not be way behind it?"
she suggested
