Fortune had slept, but only after
hours Of watchful terror. The slight
est sound outside the tent sent a
cream into her throat, but she sue
ceeded each time in sitting it. Once
the evil laughter Of a hyena came over
her ears. shivering. Alone! She laid
her head upon the wadded s~addle-bags
and wept silently, and every sob tore
at her heart. She must keep up the
farce OF being brave when she knew
that she wasn't. The men must not
be discouraged. Her department
would characterize theirs; any sign
| Of weakness upon her side would cor.
respondingly depress them the more.
She prayed to God to give her the

grim smile, afraid Of his knocking

scene wherein he had so gratuitously
kicked Horace in the side. Horace!
No, she did not believe that she would
ever forgive him for this web which
he had spun and fallen into himself

With a consideration that spoke
well Of his understanding. he did not
speak to her again till food was
passed. Later, when the full terror
Of the affair took hold Of her. she
would be dreadfully lonely and would
need to see him near. to hear his
voice. He forced some Of the hot
soup down Ryanne's throat. and was
glad to note that he responded q little.
After that he limped about the strange
camp, but was careful to get in no
ones way. Slyly he took note Of this
face and that, and his satisfaction
grew as he counted the aftermath Of
the war. And 1t had taken i've Of

in that bitter moment. Ay, how might
not her presence torture him also!
He had never, for the briefest space,
thought Of Ryanne and Fortune at the
same time. She spoke, alphabetically
1t was true, as II she had known him
all her life. The wisest thing he could
do was to bring Ryanne to a CONDITION
where he could explain some parts OF
the enigma and be Of some use. Hor-
ace!
I'm going to have another try at
him." he said.
She nodded, but without any par
ticular enthusiasm.
George worked vel Ryanne for the
better part Of an hour, and finally the
battered man moved. He made an ef'
fort to speak, but this time no sound
issued from his lips. At the end OF
the hour he opened his eyes and
smiled. 1t was more like the grin

The cold dew OF dawn was the tonic
that recalled him from the land Of
grotesque dreams. He sat up and
rubbed his face brislly with his hands,
drying 1t upon the sleeve of his coat,
as hasty and as sa iisfying a toilet as
he had ever made. There was no ac-
tivity in camp; evidently they were
not going to start early. The cook
alone was busy. The fire was crack

a pot Of pleasant-smelling coffee
leaned rakishly against the hot
ashes. The flap to Fortunes tent was
still closed. And there was Ryanne,
sitting with his knees drawn up under

shins. and glowering at no visible
thing.
