CHAPTER VIII
While Memory Slept

No, the girl had not completely for
gotten, for it was not exactly blank
to her. She had a vague recollection
of a number of things, but everything
appeared to be shadowy and con-
fused, and when she tried to piece 1t
together, the fragments slipped out
of her grasp.
1t was in names and places that the
lapse chiefly occurred, including her
own identity. and 1t was this fact that
gave Lee cause for meditation.
She had lived in the forests in child
hood, she seemed to recall visit to
them of recent years; at any rate,
she had all the woodcraft of one to
whom the forest was home. She had
been educated in convent, she
thought, and had been living for sew
eral years in large city, studying.
She thought she had been studying
to be medical missionary among the
Indians.
Thus she was not cut Off from that
association of habits, tastes, and ex-
periences that goes to make the per-
sonality; she did not feel that she had
lost very much. and 1t was always as
IL she were upon the point of remem-
bering everything.
Out Of this vague, blurred dream she
had awakened to find herself in the
woods with Lee, without the knowl-

It'll you return, ne matter how
long, Lee" she answered simply.
Even If you remembered? No
matter what you remember?"
even If should remember. But,
Lee"-the note of fear came into her
voice again-"when the time comes
that remember, / want you with me.
l am so oppressed sometimes-when
awake in the morning, always. /
seem to have been travelling in my
dreams all night in horrible places,
among hateful people. l seem to have
some terrible duty laid upon me,
something that / must carry out, al
though it kills me. And then-I awake
to you.
But one thing l know beyond, ev-
erything in the world, and that is that
there could never have been anyone
but you, Lee, dearest; never In the
whole world. So take me, Lee, and
shield me with your love, and be all
in this world to me, for l shall never
love anyone but you"
"Ill take you to the mission, dear,
and when come back, / shall take
you south with me, and you shall for
get all your fears" answered Lee.
So they put their troubles aside, and
all the uncertainties of the future, and
were sublimely happy in their love.
Yet, happy as he was, Lee realized
that it would be well for them when

then would the load of anxiety be re-
moved from him.

silly of me, but-where is it that we
are going?'
And. as Lee looked at her in as
constituent, she went on:
ITS curious, you know, Mr.. Ander-
son, but don't seem exactly to re-,
member where we met, either, or why
left that place-where was it? That
big city whose names slipped my
memory for the moment Nor why
we came to the woods-came back to
the woods, you know" she corrected.
"And then, who am I? ! had my
name on the tip Of my tongue mo-
ment ago, and I'll know soon. l sup
pose, but it's-just now 1t all seems
to be confused. somehow" And then
Lee realized that her memory Of the
past was completely obliterated

how the future had ceased to trouble
her. ITS so glorious to be in the
woods again, and at this time of the
year above everything. It's such a
long time since was in the woods be-
fore. I've been living in big city.
you know-nothing but blocks Of
houses and asphalt and stone. 1 felt
like a prisoner there"
And Lee wondered again at her ac-
quiescence in this new turn of fate.
"Now-may l wash that cut In your
head and tie it for your"
Eyes. DOCTOR" she smiled at him.
He boiled the bandage, washed the
cut in boiled water, and retied the
strip of cotton about It, The girl was
still too weak to talk very much. But
it was the most wonderful thing that
had ever happened to him, sitting
there with her in that intimate COM
partnership, forgetting that she had
been at odds with him, putting aside
all the memories of conflict, forgetting
too, that she was a woman, seeing in
her only comrade.
After awhile Lee made some cakes
in the ashes of the fire, and cooked
some bacon. The girl was able TO eat
a little, and he felt his appetite re-
turning. Undoubtedly he had gone
through the worst of it. Again they
sat in silence, till the girl said:
'Do you know, have forgotten your
name!'
He had not told her. but he said,
Lee Anderson"
Anderson was a common enough
name in the district. and would convey
nothing to her.
And as she seemed still to be fret
ing or puzzling, Lee laid his hand on
hers and said:
"You mustn't worry We shall go
on just as soon as It's possible to-"
That's just what I've been wonder
ing about" she answered. TITS very

CHAPTER TX
Joyce Comes Home

In the middle of the night wild
storm sprang up. bringing with 1t a
driving snow. It's violence blew down
their two shelters almost simultane-
ously, involving them In debris Of
boughs and branches.
They made light of their troubles
Lee succeeded in getting some sort
Of protection up, and the remainder
of that night they crouched beneath
it, happy, in spite Of the snow that
piled up all about them.
When morning came, they looked
out on white world. 1t was freez-
ing hard, and the spring had dwindled
to a thread in basin of ice.
Lee very quickly had a fire burning
and tea ready. But it looked as If
winter had come to stay. They had
had a rude awakening from their para
disc. 1t seemed essential to push on
as soon as possible.
In fact, without snowshoes they
were likely to find themselves seriously
inconvenience in the event of heavy
fall. Lee meant to prosecute his in
quiries at the mission, and, In case
nothing came of these, to go to Little
Falls, load up, and then return.
"I'm sure I'm well enough to start
today, Lee" said the girl that morn
ing, as they discussed the situation.
1--WE could start eff slowly, you see,
and then if 1t did snow heavily, it
would be much more of strain on
me later on, without snowshoes, than
now, when the travelling is easy,
wouldn't It'll So we ought to try to
get to the mission within a day or
two"
Lee agreed, and they decided to
push on slowly that day by the trail
beside the lake. The mission was near
the head of the lake, about two days
journey away.
Most of the contents of the pack
were left behind. Lee had to travel
as light as possible; but fortunately,
his rib was fairly set, and the tight
bandage which he wore around 1t
eliminated serious danger of its
breaking again.
When they stopped for the noon
meal they had several miles to their
credit. The girls knee had given her
no trouble, and both were jubilant.
That day they covered good fifteen
miles--almost a short days journey.
When they camped, the girl said:
do you know, Lee, / am almost
certain that / have passed this way
before. 1t all looks somehow familiar
to me, and yet somehow as If I'd seen
il in dream You remember that big
rock we passed in the middle of the
stream? Well, had feeling all the
time that we should come to it as we
rounded the bend"
"And you have no idea whether you
ever lived in this region or not?" he
asked.

though, that may have done so. Per
