Silver Sands had persuaded her
parents that it was easier to say

to accompany her to New York;.
and in the end it was decided
that she should start upon her
adventure alone, timing her de-
parture according to advices from
Mckay Hedden, who had gone
cruising again in the Buslin.
She had very few preparations
to make

about Henley. Without a word
of explanation he had stepped out
of her life into the unknown.
If she had received the letter
which Hedden had destroyed

clawed and beloved and dug,
trying to get att us1-but all ne

was his head. His shoulders were
too broad and there he stuck.
You can imagine how we felt!
Sometimes the lion would back
away a few feet from the cave
and then just dive in as if he
were going to push himself right
through.
This kept up for what seemed
hours. Suddenly I turned around
and away off in the distance
saw a faint glow OF light. 1t was

couldn't tell how big it was. But
there was a ray of light away off
