The StOrmbound Pair Are Discovered by an Old
WOOdsman Who Knows Patricia

Never In her life had she known
an association like this one. so free
and simple. yet so surprising and
new. The friendliness. the develop
ing sense of comradery, were the
most vital things she had ever ex-
perienced.
Joyously, and with appetites bred
of cold and delay and their unusual
exertions, they fell upon the meal.
1t was dark now outside the cabin!
The second night was upon them.
The woods were motionless and
noiseless tonight, and when their
voices for a moment fell the silence
all about them was utter and en-
veloping. Patricia glanced at the
darkening window, where the ledge
OF snow showed black against the
reflection of candlelight and fire.

agreed, in great Satisfaction.
