He hesitated. The girl dropped her
eyes and stood toying with the bonnet
strings around her arm. She did not
mention that the storekeepeI had told
her the tragedy of the grave at Fallen
Rock; of the mother who had died
the very evening Of success: whose
eyes had not been permitted to rest
on the faultless sheen of the level for
which she, too. had searched a life
time.
"And then" she repeated, when II
seemed he was not going on.
A tiny breeze fell into this woods

beard writhed with the culver of his
features. He even raised his hands
and ran them over the Pe%arihunter's
face, as a blind man might in search

Apparently he did not find 1t. The
pale fires died out of his eyes; his
face quivered; his breast seemed 10
collapse; the tense silence shivered
with a groan. The thrush Of strength
