Her face was no longer lovely. 1t
was drawn with terrible passions.
But she quieted at once.
"At last saw plainly that was n

almost starved to death because l
wouldn't use the food that they sent

But I came to 1t at last. But. Bruce.
there were many things I didn't come
to. Since learned the truth. l have
never given one of them a smile ex-

"YOu are a city man, Bruce. You
don't know what hate means. 1t
doesn't live in the cities. But 1t lives
up here. Believe me, II you ever be-
lieved anything-that 1t lives up here.
The most bitter and the blackest hate
from birth until death! 1t burns
out the heart. Bruce. But l don't
know that I can make you under
stand"
She paused. and Bruce looked away
into the pine forest. He believed the
girl. He knew that this grim land
was the home of direct and primitive
emotions. Such things as mercy and
remOrse were out OF place In the
gnme trails where the wolf pack
hunted the deer.
"When they knew how I hated
them" she went on. "they began to
watch me. And once they knew that
I had fully understood the situation,
I was no longer allowed to leave this
little valley. There nre only two
trails. Bruce. One goes to Elmira's
cabin on the way to the store. The
other enclrcles the mountain. With
all their numbers, it was easy to keep
watch OF those trails. And they told
me what they would do II they found

laughed, but the sound had no Joy In

pealing. "And forgive me what I

Linda.
He remembered her as a blond
headed little girl with irregular fea-
lures and rather unreasonable al-
lowance of LONELINESS. All the way
he had thought of her us baby Sis
ter-not as woman In her flower.
For long second he gazed at her In
speechless amazement.
Her hair was no longer blond.
True. 1t had peculiar red lights when
the freight shone through 1t: but he
knew by the light of day 1t would be
deep brown. He remembered her as
an awkward little thing that was
hardly able to keep her feet under
her. This tall girl had the wilderness
grace-which Is the grace Of a deer
and only blind eyes cannot see It. He
dimly knew that she wore a khaki
colQred skirt and simple blouse Of
white tied with a blue scarf. Her
arms were bare in the fires CLEAN.
And there was dark beauty about
her face that simply could not be
denied.
She came toward him. and her
hands were open before her. And her
lips trembled. Bruce could see them
in the freight.
1t was n strange meeting. The fire.
light gave 1t tone of unreality, and
the whole forest world seemed to
pause in Its whispered business as If

CHAPTER TX

As the fire burned down to GOALS
and the stars wheeled through the
sky, Linda told her story. The two
of them were seated in the soft grass
In front Of the cabin. and the NOON
light wns on Linda's face as she
talked. She talked very low at first.
Indeed there was no need for loud
tones. The whole wilderness world
was heavy with silence, and whis-
per carried far. Besides, Bruce was
just beside her, watching her with
narrowed eyes, forgetful Of every
thing except her story.
1--WE waited IL long time to tell you
this" she told him. "Of course. when
we were babies together in the or
phanage, I didn't even know It. 1t
has taken me long time since to
learn all the details; most Of them
got from my aunt. old Elmira, whom
you talked to on the way out. Part
of 1t l knew by Intuition, and a little
OF It is still doubtful.
"fou ought to know first how hard
have tried to reach you. OF course,
l didn't try openly except at first
tho first years after l came here. and
before ! was old enough to under
stand" She spoke the last word with
curious depth of feeling and a per-.
ceptible hardness about her lips and
eyes. II remembered just two things.
That the man who had adopted you

"You must understand the difficul.

Bruce. Our mail Is sent from and
delivered to the little post office at

from here. And some one member of
a certain family that lives near here
goes down every week to get the mail
for the entire district.

wild things that lived up here"

on the way up" His tone wayered,
and he seemed TO be speaking, far
nway. II had some once-long ago."
"Yes. You will understand. soon.

though. You never got them"
