a step, and the handspring Of instinct
within him prompted him to lift
hand as if to ward off a leaping thing
from his breast.
Jan noted the backward step, the
guarded uplift Of hand, and with an
agonized cry be buried his face in his
hands In another instant he had
turned and, before Cummins' startled
voice found words, had opened the
door and run out into the night The
man saw him darting swiftly toward
the forest and called to him, but there
was no response.
Painting itself each instant more
plainly through the tumult of his emo
tons was what Jan had come to know
as the picture in his brain. Shadowy
and indistinct at first, in pale, elusive
lines Of mental fabric, he saw the pic
ture growing, and in it's growth be
saw first the soft, sweet outlines of
woman's face and then great Turing
eyes, dark like his own. And be-
fore these eyes, which gazed upon him
with overwhelming love, all else faded
away from before Jan Thoreau. The
fire went out of his eyes, his fingers
relaxed, and after a little while he
got up out of the snow, shivering. and
went back to the cabin.
Cummins asked no questions. He

There was a quick intaking Of his
breath as he hobbled back to his own
cot, leaving Jan at play with the baby.
That night, in the dim, sputtering
glow Of an oil lamp John Cummins and
Jan Thoreau solemnly set to work to
thrash out the great problem that had
suddenly entered into their existence.
To these two there was no element Of
humor in what they were doing, for
into their keeping had been given
thing for which God had not schemed
them.
So far as Cummins knew, there was
not a white woman nearer than Fort
Churchill, 200 miles away. In all that
region he knew of only two full white
men, and they were Williams and him.
