She came on to the little barri- cade. “Is one allowed to talk to lllei guard?” she asked whimsically. She | crouched down with him. “I brought | you one of my blankets and a tincup | ot coffee. I raked enough sand off | the fire to heat this, but I didn’t ex-| pose the coals.” | Curt squeezed her hand. “It was sweet of you—all the trouble, d But you'd better take the blanket. | This mountain air gets chilly when a person isn't moving around.” He| put the blanket about her shoulders. “Phanks, Curt. The air does have a bite in it. She did not free her hand or ob-| ject to his endearine word.

She would not al- low him. “Dear, you must not.” She reached up her hand and touched his hair, vuuning her fingers over it. “Curt, you've been so good, you'ré s0 unselfish and generous—I'd hate mysell if 1 caused you any pain.” _ “Pain—to me? Why Sonya, you couldn’t do that!” “But 1 could! You'll want me— you do even now.

Is that fair, Sonya?” “It's grossly unfair: I've treated you unfairly all along, Curt. But I ean't help myself. When this trip i over, maybe ther 'l can afford to be honest. . I don't blame you for ask- ing questions, but . . . I think I'll Zo back to thie rocks down there.” “Please don’t,” Curt begged. She leaned her tired head back against his shoulder, but Curt felt she was far away from him, alone with her own thoughts. He seemed ‘hut out by a granite wall of aloof- ‘ess.

Anything was better than waiting, waiting. The big cloud had drifted on out from the eastern range till it was only a little distance from But a strong up-current from the valley had seized it and it hovered uncertainly, sending out feathery wisps this way and that. Down toward the camp a patter- ing noise suddenly arose. It sounded as though the tents and canoes were being pelted with small stones. Sonya touched his arn:. “Curt, what's that?” “Arrows!
