Once again before they began the
descent Of the mountain Philip drew
her close in his arms, and kissed her.
And this time there was the sweet

tenderness Of Jeanne's lips. Silent
in their grief. and yet communing in
sympathy and love in the firm clasp OF
their hands, they came down the
mountain, through the thin spruce
forest. and to the lighted cabin where
Pierre lay dying. MacDougall was in
the room when they entered. and rose
softly. tiptoeing into the little office.
Philip led Jeanne to Pierre's side, and

there came wonderful light. His lips
