CHAPTER XIX.
A Lie and a Theft.


Sandry recovered rapidly. His youth
and 1.-the strength were powerful aids
and the broken bones inside the plas.
ter casts knitted busily. With his re-
turn to consciousness, Miss Ordway
relaxed her vigilance. she gave up
her place without protest to Ma Daily
and began to spend a part of her days
in the little room. This had been San
dry's urgent request.
See what you've lost already In
time and strength and energy" he
pleaded. please go TO your own work" 4"
On one of the first days OF Ma
Dailys attendance. he asked to see
Siletz
The general was wise and she sent
the girl alone. Sandry closed his eyes
and lay waiting for the light step tha,

Presently he heard II coming down
the slope. 1t slowed as II neared the

leaped uncontrollably and conflicting
emotions flushed his face as he called

not what he wished to say. and she
came and dropped on her knees beside
him. clasping her hands on the sheet

her look and attitude, only the simple
betrayal of a nature as open as the
