It was the only word he could have
spoken just then, but it was all that
was necessary. 1t told her everything
1t was an outburst from a heart too
full Of emotion to grope after speech,
the cry of man for the One Woman
who alone can call forth an infection
more eloquent than phrases and po-
etry. And, as she came into his out
stretched arms as straight and direct
as q homing pigeon, they closed about
her in a convulsive grip that held her
straining TO him, almost crushing her
in the tempest OF his emotion.
For a time there was no speech. but
to each of them it seemed that their
tumultuous heartbeating must sound
above the night music. and the teleg-
raphy of heartbeats tells enough.
Later they would talk, but now. with
gloriously wild sense of being to-
gether, with a mutual intoxication of
JOY because all that they had dreamed
was true, and all that they had feared
was untrue they stood there under
the skies clasping each other-with
the rifle between their breasts. Then
as he held her close, he wondered
that a shadow of doubt could ever
have existed. He wondered if, except
in some nightmare of hallucination. 1t
had ever existed.
The fiutter of her heart was like
that of q rapturous bird, and the play
of her breath on his face like the
fragrance of the elder blossoms.
These were their stars twinklinR
overhead. These were their hills. and
their moon was smiling on their tryst.
He had gone and seen the world
that lured him; he had met its diff
culties and faced its puzzles. He had
even felt his feet wandering at the
last from the path that led back to
her, and now, with her 1.-THE figure
close held In his embrace, and her
red-brown hair brushing his temples,
he marveled how such an instant Of
doubt could have existed. He knew
only that the silver of the moon and
the kiss of the breeze and the clasp
of her soft arms about his neck were
all parts of one great miracle. And
she, who had waited and almost de-
SPARED, not taking count of what she
had suffered, felt her knees grow
weak. and her head grow dizzy with
sheer happiness, and wondered II 1t
were not too marvellous to be true.
And, looking very steadfastly into his
eyes, she saw there the CLEAN that
once had frightened her; the CLEAN
that spoke of something stronger and
more compelling than his love. 1t no
longer frightened her, but made her
soul sing, though 1t was more intense
than it had ever been before, for now
she knew that 1t was she herself who
brought it to his pupils-and that
nothing would ever be stronger.
But they had much to say to each
other, and, finally, Samson broke the
silence:
Did ye think l wasn't a-coming
back, Sally?" he questioned, softly. At
that moment he had no realization
that his tongue had ever fashioned
smoother phrases. And she, too, who
had been making war on crude idioms,
forgot. as she answered.
I'VE done said We was comm" Then
she added a happy lie: Il knowed
