He drank the strong coffee Wen Ho

and he ate a piece of broiled elk meat.
Then he went out again and walked
rapidly down the trail. 1t was not
yet dark; the world was in a soft
glow OF rose and violet, opalescent
lights. The birds were singing In a
hundred chantries. And there, through
the frs, sight to stop his heart, Joan
came walking toward him, graceful.
free, swinging figure, bareheaded,
her rags girded beautifully about her.
And up and up to him she came sound
lessly over the pine needles and
through the wet snow-patches, looking
at him steadfastly and tenderly, with
out smile. She came and stood be-
fore him, still without dropping her
sad, grave look.
'Mr. Gael" she said, 81 hev come

about her. JOAN" he sobbed. Joan
Don't leave me. Don't-I couldn't bear

face wet with tears. Don't leave me,

his. 81 never thought you'd be wantin

Joan looked at him smiling. You're

when she saw his face. 1t was turned
eagerly toward the climbing horses,
toward the pack, and 1t was sharp and
keen with detached interest, an ex-
element that had nothing, nothing In
the world to do with her.
1t was the great bundle Of Prosper's
mail that first brought home to Joan
the awareness of an outside world.
She knew that Prosper was a trav-
eled and widely experienced man, but
she had not fancied him held to this
world by human attachments. Con-
corning the tall child" she had not
put a question and she still believed
her to have been Prosper's wife. But

He did not hear her. He was greedy
of eye and finger-tips, searching writ
ten sheet after sheet. He was flushed
along the cheek-bones and little pale
about the lips. Joan stood there, her
hands hanging. her head bent, staring
up and out at him from under her
brows. She looked, in this attitude,
rather dangerous.

ing his absence Joan queened It In the
kitchen. She was learning to laugh,
to see the absurd delightful twists of
daily living. to mock Prosper's oddi-
ties as he Knocked hers. She was
learning to be a comrade and she was
learning better speech and more ex-
qulsite ways. II was inevitable that
she should learn. Prosper, In these
days, spent his whole soul upon her,
fed her with music and delight, and
he trained her to sing her sagas so
that every day her voice gained in
power and flexible sweetness. She
would sing. since he told her to, her
voice beating It's wings against the
walls Of the house or ringing down the
canyon in untrammeled fight. Pros
per was lost in wonder of her, In a
passionate admiration for his own
handiwork He was making, here in
this God-forsaken solitude, a thing of
marvel; what he was making surely
justified the means. Joan's laughable
simplicity and directness were the
same; they were part of her presence;
no civilizing could confuse or disturb
them but she changed, her brain grew,
1t absorbed material, 1t attempted ad-
ventures. Nowadays Joan sometimes
argued, and this filed Prosper with
delight. so quaint and logical she was
and so skillful
