 He met Cynthia when he came out of the bush one June for a short vacation. They were married the day he was due to start back into the woods.
 ' The first week was delciously i sweet. Cynthia had been country l girl, and because Lionel was her first real love. she eagerly looked forward to spending weeks alone with him in the wilderness. [ That was before they reached Woodsville, where Lionel had his base. There was big packing com pany at Woodsville, run by a man named Benton, who had a son named Austin. Fresh from college young Austin had come to Woods vile to learn the packing business. Quite naturally the place was dull and boring to one so sophisticated.
 Then Lionel and his new wife arrived, and Austin looked on
 Cynthia and vowed to know her
 better. Austin had that polish
 about him that attracts women.
 So when Lionel finally headed his canoe toward Woodsville to replen- ish their supplies. Cynthia's pulse quickened little, and she kept her eyes fastened on the bend in the river that would first reveal the great buildings of the packing house.
 What followed made Cynthia a little ashamed. She hated to hurt Lionel, he was so fine and generous and kind And so devoted. She thought he'd object to a divorce, and it was little disappointing , when he agreed readily.

 Cynthia nearly swooned. Whe she again opened her eyes Austi was gone. She was alone. Pani gripped her, then fear. Later sh thought of Lionel. She'd not know how to appreciate him. She'd Wait He'd be out of the bush again i three weeks. He'd understand.
