Sishs. he fancied his wavering senses
aSce.ving him. until he put out his
hand and felt actually the substance
Of what he saw. He took up a bottle
Of milk incredulously. and slipped ut it
with the caution of man not unused
TO periods Of starvation. He broke
eggs and swallowed them, at intervals,
1ung-ily from the shell and meat he
,ached- animal-like. IL nearby cram
lies and nanlike. n his pockets.

Il don't need any thanks" she rspl=d
with calculated GOODNESS. 4 an hop
ing when you are well enough you
will go away quietly in the night That
will be the only way you can thank
me-"
Il shall be as glad 10 90 as you can
be to have me-" rejoined De Spain.
But that won't be thanking you as I
am going to. II you think you can
save my life and refuse my thanks as
l mean to express them-you are mis-
taken. l will be perfectly honest. Ly-
ing out here isn't just what I'd choose
for comfort. But If by doing it l
could see you once In two or three
days"
You won't see me again"
mo news could be worse. And II
l can't, l don't know how I'm going
to get out at all. I've no horse-you
know that. 1 can't stand on my foot
yet; If you had a light you might see
for yourself. l think 1 showed you my
gun. If you could tell me where
am"
He halted on the implied question
Nan took ample time to reply.
DO you mean TO tell me you don't
know where you are?' she asked. and
there was touch of vexed incredulity
In her tone.
De Spain seeped unmoved by her
skepticism. 81 can't tell you anything
else" he said simply. "You couldn't
have any idea l crawled up here for
the fun of it,"
I've been trying to think" she re-
turned, and he perceived In the hard
ness of her voice how at bay she felt
In giving him the least bit Of infor-
'.-NeNAAis NhttHti Ouklt W tell you
anything at all"
Il couldn't very decently take any
unfair advantage after what you've
done, could ~
"Then-you are in Morgans gap"
she said, swiftly, as If she wanted 1t
off her mind.
There was no movement of surprise,
neither was there any answer. ~
supposed, when 1 found you here, you
knew that" she added less resolutely (;
the darkness and sileAce were plainly
a strain. "You are at the foot of Mu-
sic mountain, about mile from where
/ live"
You must have thought 1 meant to
raid your house. I didn't. l was hit.
l got mixed up in trying to get away.
You want me out of here7"
Very much"
