And at the moment this story opens. one of these squir- rels was perchcd on 8 wide-spreading limb overarching a gravel path that slantcd through the sunllt park. The squirrel was hungry. He wished that some one would come along with a nut.
 There was a bench beneath the tree. If there had moi been. the life of Dan Failing would have been entirely diff fercnt. If the squirrel had been on any other tree, if he hadn't been hungry, if any one Of a dozen other things hadn't been as they were, Dan Failing would have never gone back to the land of his people The little buShy-ruiIed fellow on the tree limb was the squirrel of Destiny

to him that he could remember other winters, wherein the snow lay for end. less miles over an endless wilderness, and here and there were strange, mNny-toed tracks that could be fol- lowed In the icy dawns. Buf of course it was just a fancy. He wasn't In the least mIsled about It. He knew that he had never. in his lifetime. seen the wilderness. or course his grand father had been a fruntiersnIan Of the first order. and all his ancestors he. fore him-a rangy. hardy breed whose wings would crumple In civilization but he himself had always lived in cities. Yet the falling snows. soft and gentle but with a kind of remOrseless- ness he could sense but could mol un- derstand. had always stirred him. He'd often imagined that he would like to see the forests In winter.
 In him you could see a reflection of the boy that played beside the pond Of snow water, twenty years before. His dark gray eyes were still rather large and perhaps the wasted flesh around them made them seem larger than they were. But 1t was little hard to see them, as he wore large glasses. His mother had been sure, years before, that he needed glasses; and she had easily found an Oculist that agreed with her.
 Now that he was alone on the path, the utter absence of color In his cheeks was startling. That meant the absence of red-that warm glow of the blood eager and alive in his veins Perhaps an observer would have noticed lean hands. with big kuucklpd fingers, a rather firm mouth, and closely cropped dark hair. He was twenty-nine years Of age, but he looked somewhat older. He know now that he was never going tO be any older. A doctor as sure of himself as the one he had just consulted couldn't possibly be mistaken.
 He Sat down on a park bench. just beneath the spreading limb of a great tree. He would sit here. he thought until he finally decided what he would do with his remaining six months.
 He hadn't been able 10 go tO war. The recruiting officer had been very kind but most determined. The boys had brought him great tales Of France. II might he nice 10 go 10 France and live in some country inn until he died But he didn't have very long 10 think upon this vein. For al that Instant the squirrel came down to see If he had a nut.
