ear for the sounds of the woods. He
stole cautiously up the bank. The
sound, when he had drawn quite near,
did not appear to come from any tree,

Parting the bushes with the utmost

the pool and peered forth. A woman
"a girl-sat on fiat rock tutting out
from the opposite bank, her bare feet
swinging In the water her body bent
slightly back and propped on her
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 fiipped back into place as the
Pearlhunter strained his face q little
closer. The song stopped: the girl
whirled her eyes toward the swaying
twig. The man fattened and held his
breath.

wild roses he had leisure 10 observe
