were going they were in fair way

Shoes set them down on an island in

But scarcely had the words left

 Dale looked and saw. The color left h4s face, then came back. He shut his eyes, swayed little on his feet, op- ened his eyes, looked and saw again. He turned to the young woman with great joy shining on his face.
