 In the gathering dusk the lad strode | briskly on. squirrel parked to the light; he did not look around. A part rldgo drummed to the left; usually alert to wood sound or life, tonight he did not heed it. But, fairly out of the forest and making his way with the same air of resolution across the | sands toward the lowland beyond. his attention on a sudden, became fS,r> cibly diverted.
