l HsIIUM "A night outside his
cabin "a step, rustic, a
sound that didn't belong to the November
storm = made Web Martin lift his head from
his cupped hands and listen intently.
The rain drummed on the roof. Wind
moaned in the spruces. A loose pane ratified
in window. Nothing more. Web had begun
to think his ears had tricked him, when he
heard the soft, rustling sound again, and knew
that someone was feeling his way in the dark
along the log wall of the cabin. outside.
Web sat motionless at the wooden table
The lamp. its fame uneasy in the creeping
drafts, stood at his right elbow. On the other
side of the table a bench'rested along the wall.
In the wall was window. Something moved
in the window, moved again and steadied
When Web first saw the girls face, he
thought it was hallucination. He thought it
was about time for that sort of thing to catch
up with him. His nerves were worn raw. He
had nights sleep since the hunting accident
- since that still, October morning five weeks
before, when, sick at Heart, he had walked out
of the woods to the sheriff's office, and said:
Gill, shot man."
mo, Web! You didn't You don't mean it."
I'm telling you, shot a man."
where is hep"
''On the edge of the Little6eld Burn
is he hurt bad?"
Hes dead"
The thing Web Martin dreaded more than
anything on earth had happened to him in one
binding, nightmarish instant. It crushed
against his reason and instinct. against his life
training as woodsman and guide. Its horror
was violent in his mind.
WITH Gill, the coroner, the game warden
and the state policeman, he had gone back in
to the Littlefeld Burn to where the man lay
in the red leaves. They had found Webs
tracks, the tracks of the man. land the tracks
of the deer that had drawn Webs rife shot.
From the tracks, they had reconstructed what
had happened.
Accident pure and simple" Gill had
said; and the others had nodded agreement.
It didn't help any. 1t didn't help the man,
his wife, or his family and friends. It didn't
help Web Martin. Accident or not, the agony
pounded in his heart. He felt his hands stak-
ing, but when he looked at them, they were
steady. The trembling didn't show. 1t was
inside, and unceasing.
Now, on this night weeks later, when he
saw the girls face in his cabin window, Web
thought his nerves had snapped. Beyond the
black, misty glass, the face seemed unreal.
The dark eyes, dazed and staring, haunted
him reflection of his own panic.

But when one hand came up, and her white
knuckles tapped the windowpane, he knew
the girl was real. He recognized the desperate
. expression in her eyes. He had seen it half a
dozen times in the eyes of men lost in the
woods.
Web stood up, motioned toward the cabin
door, stepped over and opened it. For an
instant he saw the girl framed in the doorway.
Then gust of wind poured into the cabin,
and the lamp flared out
In the dense blackness after the light, she
seemed to have vanished Yet Web still saw
her with startling vividness: her bronze.

the brown flannel shirt showing at her throat,
the rain-wet. high-boned face, the dark eyes,
wild and staring.
He remembered the strange behavior of lost
people - how. sometimes. they ran at sight
of the search party, even fed from warmth
and shelter. But the girl was still in the door
way. Through the darkness, he could feel her
near him "a warmth, radiation
eff you'll come inside he said, I'm close
the door and light the lamp again"
In THE dark, as she stepped across the
threshold, her shoulder touched his. He closed
the door, struck match and Lit the lamp on
the table. Then he turned and got good
look at her.
She was twenty-three or four, taller than he
had thought - taller and more beautiful. Her
lips were parted, and she breathed in long,
aching gasps, as if she had been running. In
one hand, close to her breast as though for
protection, she clutched green handbag.
Web thought of a lost child. clinging to secm-
ity by hugging toy.
You're going to be all right in a minute, /"
he said gently. YOU'RE not lost any more"
I'm not lost - any more?" she asked.
How do you know?"
Her voice, hungering for reinsurance, wung
Webs heart. He knew what it was like to be
lost. He was lost himself
You're safe here" he said. Nothing can
hurt YOU"
Her breathing quoted. Her grip on the
green bag relaxed, and she held it guardedly
at her side. The desperate look faded from her
eyes, and in its place came one of intense
curiosity. Web thought it was like watching
someone awakening in strange room.

''Are you sure?"
Positive. Where are you staying? Marcy's
Ledger"
She nodded.

But not now?"
mo - it's finished, for good. "
Maybe it isn't. Maybe youIl get together
again"
Il doubt it. I'm afraid it's too late
That's too bad. I'm sorry"
She shrugged her shoulders. Tears glistened
in her eyes, and she blinlxed them away.
Web got up and put chunk Of dry beech IN
the stove. He could feel her eyes following
every move he made. When he came back
and sat across from her. she said:
DO you live here all alone?"
YES"

Reaching up. Web npinned his badge and
laid it on the table. He knew. then, that he
was going to tell her what had happened to

"What?'

He felt the words dry as ashes in his mouth,
and saw his own anguish mirTored in the girls
eyes. She sat rigid, motionless, the light
changing over her face in the Pickering of the
lamp.
