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 swaylng
twig. The man fiattened 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
fiowing-he dragged his eyes away
and held them away till he heard the
girl scramble to her feet on the rock.
AS she gathered up her armload of
wild roses he had leisure to observe
her.
With the mass of color close to her
face, 1t 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 a 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 Mt 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 a word to justify
his intrusion. But he was slow of
speech. Words came hard to him.
After time, his eyes travelled back
across the pool; past the patch of sky
Mt the bottom; up the side of the rock
where her feet had dangled. vi.
The rock was bare. The girl had
gone.
