Well, at the boat. Martin had heart
her tell the boy that he must catcl
the boat.
Alix did not guess the truth. Blu
she guessed enough to make her fee
frightened and sick. She could no
suppose that Cherry and Peter haC
planned to go away on that boat to
gether, because at most her thoughts
would have grasped the idea of one OIL
two days absence only, and they haC
given her no warning of that. But
until this instant the thought of the
passionate desire that enveloped then
had not reached her; she had imag.
ined Cherry's feeling for. Peter to be
something only a little. stronger than
her own.
Now she thought of Cherry's beauty,
her fragrance and softness, the shine
in her blue eyes and the light on her
corn-colored hair, and knew that life
for them all, of late, had been mined
with frightful danger.
Cherry would be ~disgraced. and
Martip-Martin would kill her, if he
found her out, Oh, my little
sister,. She would be town talk she

Silence and darkness. But even in

like a tired breath, went over the tops
of the redwoods.
Steadily came the change. The dark

And anfew moments later she added,
DAWN
1t was dawn indeed that was creep

and glory of it swelling in her tired
heart. She was still sitting on the
log, dreamily watching the expanding
beauty of the new day. when there
was a crashing in the underbrush be-
hind her. and wild with joy, and with
twigs and dried brown grasses on his

the forest, and leaped upon her.

Martin said. The best thing you can
do is to let the whole thing alone J"
But she saw that he was both nerv-
Gus and apprehensive, and she knew
that the inference she and Cherry had
drawn from the letter vas a true one.
"Does Cherry know anything of
this?" Martin presently muttered.
do you want her to?" Alix asked,
pointedly.
He shrugged his shoulders with a
great assumption Of Indifference.
If she wants to have it all dragged

that she had no right to repeat that

already at the porch table. Alix looked
pale, but fresh and trim she had evil
