He retraced his way to the spring, where

whloh he fastened with a wire nail, and
started the long climb. His sledgo ho care

eagerly Into It .,
A cry of amaiement burst from nun.
"Do I look like thatr he shouted. "Well.

Out to him she stretched her hand In wel

heart pounding.
He had to laugh at her astonishment and
naive delight over his changed appearance;
but all the time bis eyes wero eagerly de.
vourlng her beauty.
For now, freshly awakened, full of new
Ufa and vigor after a sound night's sleep,
the gtrl was magnificent.
The morning light disclosed new glints of
color in her wondrous hair, as It Jay broad
and silken on the tiger skin.
