the green shores beyond-and then
scrambled down the steep hillside to
the village, where the smokes of
kitchen fires sent up their friendly sig
nails. At the inn where he rested that
night the tavern keeper indicated
deserted cabin that stood near the
river bank.

David heard him listlessly. His
goods had arrived and were piled in
the tavern lean-to; and as he turned
toward the shack to see that they
were in readiness for the homeward
journey In the morning, he heard his
name called by girls voice.
he wheeled and saw Lydia Gram
mer. The girl broke into a laugh at
the expression Of utter surprise.
"You here, Lydia2 he cried in
amazement. "Did you come here from
Corydon2 Where's your fatherT'
"Why, yes, we've been here for
weeks. Fathers gone to see some
friends at Fort Steuben tonight, but
he'll be back SOON"
So this was where Cranmer had
gone, after that night in the smithy
at Corydon. David saw in a flash
that upon himself alone must depend
Cranmer's capture. Hiding his ex-
element, he pretended to listen to
Lydia with eager pleasure.
She ran on in naive delight at see
ing David once more. They were liv-
ing in the cabin nearest the Inn, she
said; and she begged David to come
and talk with her till her father re-
turned. 1t was late when they heard
Cranmer's voice lifted in roaring
ballad and distinguished his portly
form moving uncertainty down the
path that led to the cabin.
David felt himself grow hot with
repugnance as the man drew nearer.
He had not seen him since that night
when he had watched the three con-
spirators In the smithy.
Cranmer's heavy steps drew near

came on the two figures in the dark
ness and there was q note of relief
in his laughter when he heard David
speak.

She let her hands fall to her lap.
'Does that mean war is sure?
"Not yet. But they talk of it freely.

She smiled proudly to herself at his
use Of the word "our." He went on
with his news:
"Mr. Clay wants a stronger navy.

gift for his daughter, ordered through
an old friend in New Orleans.
There were to be two weddings in

choice of a costume to grace the two
occasions.
The weddings over, she made her
way home in her silken slippers,
swathed herself in an apron and pre-
been at either wedding. She was
thinking of him as she busted herself
at the hearth, and old Patrice read
happily from his beloved Arcadia"
She drew the fiat board on which the
cOrnmeal had been baked to golden
brown out from the fire, set the roast
ed wild turkey on the table, pushed
back n flying lock of hair from her
flushed face, and reused her father
from his book. 1t was her happiest
birthday feast in the new land.
In the evening the old gentleman
logged off on horseback to General
Harrison's farm, to pay his respects
and be served with a glass of Ma
deira. Toinette preferred to remain
at home-Mr. Blackford would call,
perhaps David as well. She finished
her work and sat down to amuse her
self with some embroidery, q candle
made of the wax of the myrtle berry
throwing its light upon her flying fin
gers. The summer dusk fell rapidly
around her. The night closed in,
heavy, warm, full of sleepy sounds of
bird and insect. Someone's feet at

door. TOinette lifted the latchpin. 1t
was David.

She sat down at her needlework

Of his cravat and his coat, watched
her in silence. When he spoke it was
