had lifted herself from among the

Her.face was. quivering with emotion.

what miracle performed hero In tho
heart of u savago vyorld could this
girl talk to him In German and Lathi?
Was sho making fun of him?
Ho turned to look at her and found
her dark, dear ejes upon him. She
smiled at him In a tticd Utile way, and
ha saw nothing but sweetness and
truth In her face. In mi Instant every I
suspicion was swept awaj'. Ho felt
llko a criminal for having doubted
hr and for a moment ho was on tho
point of tonfesslng to her what hud
been In his thoughts. He icstraintd
himself, and went to tho ilver to wash
tho pot bl ick from his hands. Jeanne
was n mjstcry to him. a mjstery
that delighted him and tilled him each
moment with u deeper love. He saw
the life nnd freedom of the forests in
her everj movement In tho gesture
of her hands, tho bird llko polso of
her pretty head, tho lltho grace of
her slender bodj". Sho breathed the
forests. It glowed In her ejes, in the
ilch ted of her lips, and revealed Its
beauty and stiength In tho unconflncd
wealth of her gold brown hair. In a
dozen vvnjo he could sic her primitive
ness. her kinship to tho wilderness.
She had told him tho truth. Ilir ejis
stnllut truth at him as ho tamo up
the hink. No othtr woman's ejos
had ever looked at him like hers:
none had he seen so beautiful. And
j it In thini ho saw nothing tint she
would not have eNpriw-id In words
companionship, trust, thankfulness
that he jvas thero to care for her.
Such ejes as thoso belonged only to
the wilderness, brimming with the
lliwless beautj- of an undented nature.
He had seen them, but not so beau
tiful, In Crce women. Ho thought of
Klleen Iliokaw'H ejes as he looked at
Jeanne's. They were very beautiful,
but they were different. Jeanne's
could not lie.
