Anse Havey went to the window,
where he drank deeply of the spiced

had never heard-a voice that held the
fire OF the natural orator and that was
colorful with emotion.

The girl looked up in amazement,
and she met in his gaze a fire and ca.

She felt wild thrill of admiration

caused, but such AS she had felt when
she watched the elemental play O,

She came across to the chair into

No word had been spoken OF her

that certain things bring certain re,

without conviction.
Then the mountain girl sprang up
