The air Of hard fnality with which
the grim lips were pursed up and
twisted around toward the right ear,
the crisp posinveness with which the
words were uttered, almost made the
twilight seem to crackle, Like stin
parchment being folded after the
reading Of some weighty mandate.

woods"
His voice was strained and heavy
out Of all proportion to what might
have been expected in uttering state
ment 50 simple. The girl breathed
fast. The man stopped, plucked the
blossom from the stem and held 1t
toward her; she took 1t and with slow
fingers fastened 1t in her belt.

know how the first bluebird and the
first robin and the first lady slipper

he was venturing his words forth
as If each one had to feel its way
across his lips, like hunter picking
his way over the dangerous bog at the
head Of Mud Haul.
''But lady slipper day." he faltered
on, was alw'ys the biggest. Y'u know,

He paused. breathed hard, struggled
for the next words-the hardest In the
language to say; stole a glance at the
girls face; looked away. The stark
skeleton Of the unfinished farmhouse
Unexpectedly - mayhap unluckily -
came under his eyes; the transnguring
emotion slowly died In his face; the
bound boy again dominated the man.
He heard the girls deep breath felt
her hand thrin upon his arm accepted
1t for what it was-the spontaneous
communion Of comradeship, a relation
on which he dared not presume

strayed over his face, the tingling mys-
tery. the far-dung vision that nestled
there
Very thoughtful she seemed, and for
the most part silent-the all-sufficient
silence that sometimes falls between
comrsdes-as he led her down the
bluffs, on the Eagle hollow side
around by the post Office, and to the
yard gate at the red-roofed cottage.
The Rev Caleb Hopkins, with book
under his arm, was just coming across
the little park from the study at the
parsonage. He dropped down on the
rustic seat at Whispering spring

over 1t, apparently oblivious to all thai
went on about him.
The woodsman studied him a mo

back to the girl. Swept by a sudden

bats and Beetles.

In the luminous evening that fol-
lowed Uncle Nick sat smoking q quiet
pipe on the porch of his modest cabin
at the upper edge of the village, al
most exactly opposite the point where
the Eagle Hollow road crossed the dat,
administered bridge and turned up the
east bank Of the branch to disappear
between the Jaws Of the hollow.
Through the open door came the
clink Of the supper dishes as Aunt
Liza put them away. A throng Of
bats, nocturnal hunters all. darted In
and out among the fruit trees white
with bloom; the drons Of q thousand
beetles, the hum Of a myriad gauzy
wings, throbbed the silence into sort
Of drowsy rhythm-a scene tranquil
and serene
The old man was just setting OF to
keep his tasitly understood appoint
ment with the embryo scientists, SOL
dierg and statesmen who assembled
nightly around the barrels and boxes
of Zeke Polick's store. when the front
gate clicked. He stopped and stood
mildly wondering to see the tall and
lanky form Of AL Counterman, the one
eyed fisherman, coming up through the
trees.
He threw up his hand, the fisherman
threw up his. Two grins met and
passed in the twilight.
Fine day." said the fisherman.
Couldn't make one no better, II I
had the tools"
The fisherman seldom-almost never
came into that part Of the village.
With the sound horse sense that eighty
years Of hard knocks had pounded into
him UnclA Nick knew that something

The fisherman stopped, breathed
hard passed his hand up over his
sunken eye socket and sat staring out
ints the gathering night The aged
hunter studied him covertly More
than once he had thought Of asking
for the story Of that lost eye, but the
innate delicacy Of the born woodsman
had restrained him.
'NOslc'late you wus some surprised

Counterman turned; felt along the
edge Of the porch floor with his hands.

once; he won't trick me no more
the old hunter saw the weather
stained fist of the fisherman grip
tight; heard his lanky jaws clamp to-
gether; watched him instinctively
hitch the holster Of his lOng-barreled
six-gun to an easier position at his
hip-"an' I've already got enough blood
on my hands over"
He stopped abruptly and again sat
staring into the night.
The man was mystery. He had
come to Buckeye as the driftwood

paid his way. asked NO question: an

He laid the book aside; blew out
the candle; turned his chair and sat
staring into the fire, still family alive

hearth Of the cook stove A stick
burned In two, fell into the GOALS
and stirred out tiny shower Of
sparks. A bright little blaze fared
up, danced over the walls and tim-
