You've come through.” Martin thought. He was conscious of having something good behind and also in front of him, and he was con- scious of something bad; but what it was he could not make out. He felt a sharp but healthy and almost pleasant pain in his choulder. “Yes, I'm through mnow,” he said slowly, reflecting. His head was clear but vacant. “Have you been with me all the time?” he asked gratefully. “Oh, no. Not all the time. The two of us have taken turns,” Puck replied. “Isn't it raining?” Martin asked, as he drew a breath of the air that came in at the window, laden with the smell of water and tarred boats and pine woods and alpine meadows. “No. It's quite fime,” said Puck smil- ing.

It was May who answered. “There’s | nothing the matter with you. Every- thing’s all right.” Yes, it was May who made this answer. She stood in the middle of the room, tall, erect, and smiling.
