Mrs. Comstock drew her embroidery
from her pocket and sat on a log She
said she was tired: they could come for
her when they were ready to go. She
could hear their voices all around her
until she called them at supper time.
When they came to her she stood wait

hand. the violin In the other. Elnora
became very white, but took the trail
without a word. Ammon. unable to
see a woman carry a heavier load than

the violin home. took 1t into her room

The violin played on until Elnora
was so tired she scarcely could lift the
bow. Then Ammon went home. The
women walked TO the gate with him
and stood watching him from sight.

come to believe so implicitly In him
that she now stayed at home TO com.

and when she did she often sat sewing,
leaving them wandering hours at a
time. II was noon before she finished,
and then she packed basket Of lunch.
She found Elnora and Philip near the
violet patch. which was still In its
prime. They lunched together. Then
Mrs. Comstock carried the basket back
to the cabin. and Ammon and Elnora
sat on a log, resting for a few min
utes.
