11. THE THREAT OF THE WILD.
In the morning she dreamed once
more of Leonora *, ,
But now the way of the dream with
her was something new; perhaps In
that it was more in true sense a dream,
less an involuntary essay in telaesthe-
sia. For all that, it had its element of
clairvoyance, as the outcome was to
prove.
What instinet had foreshadowed In
the dream proved true. The scene
was in a theater of the hills, set high
upon a wooded mountain flank, over
looking a deep wide valley, the soft
green velvet of whose forest carpeting
was threaded by slender silver streams
and dotted with little shining lakes,
Sunlight, flushing level across the
eastern ridges, struck squarely a bun-
galow set in the clearing, a rambling
structure that hugged the earth, the
primitive crudity of its undressed logs
belied by every refinement civilization
could contribute,
On the veranda, near the steps, Le-
onora stood waiting, looking back in-
to the living room,
The girl was brilliant with a beauty
new in Priscilla’s knowledge of her,
every shade of care and discontent
disestablished from her countenance,
its clear pallor enriched by a new-
found glow of well-being. In her eyes
peace had taken up its abode,

She did not understand, Such
