CHAPTER II.
The Bed Mask.

Amazed at the woodcraft that had
enabled the girl to disappear under
his very eyes, without so NUN as the
qufver of a leaf, the PearlLunter
crossed the branch on the rifle at the
lower edge Of the pool, by springing
from stone to stone. and went up to
the rock. There lay the flowers In
scattered confusion--a tumbled mass
Of refreshing color; the half an arm
full Of pink and white and red wild
roses. He picked up three--a pink ;
a red; a white-and stood gazing
down upon them. The true woods
man is iustInct.yely q gentleman. He
did not know-he did not try to know
that the girl watched his every
move from behind a big OAK a few
yards up the 6aGk.

hands, her face uplifted, her puckered
lips pouring forth the song that had
drawn him to the spot. A sunbonnet
swung from her arm; her shoes and
stockings lay upon the rock beside half
an armful of wild roses.
A twig Tipped back into place as the
Pearlhunter strained his face a little
closer. The song stopped; the girl
whirled her eyes toward the swaying
twig. The man flattened and held his
breath.
But the woodland song was done.
She slid back on the rock and reached
for her stockings and Shoes Such
feet! The rough shoes she picked up
dishonOred them. 1t would be giving
the Pearlhunter uncertain praise to
say he didn't look. Besides 1t wouldn't
be true. He did look. 1t is but simple
justice to him to state, also, that after
the one glance-a glance he could no
more help than the branch could help
tiowing-he dragged his eyes away
and held them away till be heard the
girl scramble to her feet on the rock.
AS she gathered up her armload Of
wild roses he had leisure tc observe
her.
With the mass Of color close to her
face, it was hard to tell the one from
the other-the flowers from the face
where the roses left off and the face
began. Her hair hung loose. soft and
wavy-the kind of hair n roguish shaft
of morning sun can change to spun
gold; lips like the song moment ago
upon them; eyes like the little patch
Of sky at the bottom Of the pools
eyes that opened wide; that had moth
ing to conceal.
She was turning to spring to the
bank when the Pearlhunter rose and
quietly stepped through the bushes.
She whirled; and the two stood star
ing at each other across the pool. The
flowers struggled from her arms and
dringled down upon the rocks.
The Pearlhunter's eyes were the
first to fall. Dragging off his battered
hat, half awkwardly, he bowed his
head and strove for q word to justify
his intrusion. But he was slow of
speech. Words came hard to him.
After a time. his eyes Travelled back
across the pool; past the patch Of sky
at the bottom up the side of the rock
where her feet had dalgled.
The rock was bare. The girl had
gone.

hands lacing and unlacing nervously.
The breeze from the door was gut

A stranger ought to be pretty sure

IT. He didn't know the Pearlhunter
not as the river men knew him-or
he would have considered long time

There came scream from the
Iron-Gray-Woman. She had risen

glance a startling change came over

hand left his hip and went to his face.
