in silence. her pale head hanging, the
red of pure shame staining her thin
cheeks. He placed her in chair, sat
down himself. He laid the little hand
gently in her lap and leaned earnestly

direct danger Of his life, had made it

He leaned forward and his black

She listened, as those who were
watching covertly could see, with her
pale face downcast and her fingers
working aimlessly.
When at last the man arose and
helped her to her feet with ceremony
and led her back to Pryde, his own
face was unreadable, blank page,
bland and expressionless.

gave it's memory meaning - for The
bau was gone, and his dogs were gone,
along with his loaded sledge; and most
astonishing of all, the gilt-haired girl
with the dusky eyes was gone! Pryde

And that was the last of Pryde's in
this idyl of the wilderness, so far as
Thebau and the girl were concerned.
Life for them began to be made up of
snow and still cold and the singing of
