bit had been so Interested In the af-
fairs of others OF his feathered
friends that he had quite forgotten
them. Then. one day. when he was
in the Green Forest. where the
spruce trees grow. he stopped to
rest. This particular part of the
Green Forest was low and damp.
From many OF the trees gray moss
hung. making the trees look much

very much interested in that partic.

very hard. At first II looked no diff.

but presently he noticed that 1t was
little thicker than the others. as
IL some one had woven 1t together.
He hoped off to one side. that he
might see II better.
AS sure as I live, there's a little
round hole in that bunch of moss"
muttered Peter, and blinked and
looked very hard, indeed to make
sure. A minute later there was no
doubt at all. for a little feathered
head was polSed out. and then a
dainty mite OF a bird flew down 40

OF the smaller members OF the warb-

thing more subtle. something OF tho
heart which defied logical analysis.
Fyfe had never been able to set
her pulse dancing. She had never
craved physical nearness 10 him. so
that she ached with the poignancy
OF that craving. She had been pas.
sively contented with him, that was
all. And Monohan had swept across
her horizon like a flame. why
couldn't Jack Fyfe have inspired in
her that headlong sort OF passion
She smiled hopelessly. The tears
were very close TO her eyes. She
loved Monohan; Monohan loved her
r'yfe loved her in his deliberate. re

according TO the matrimonial design.
And altho now his possession was a
hollow mockery. he would never give
her up--not 10 Walter Monohan. She
had that fatalistic conviction.
