Lennan went sprawling on the deck. The beast stood an Instant, breathing fiercely of freedom.

Returning, from the burnt height behind Maoeys place, she saw the gray clouds drop Un-suddenly to the ocean. She ran, hut the rains were quicker. They struck the shore, came Inland with, a sound of trampling, of drums The forest bowed. Wind and rain struck on hsr together; In a moment the trail ran fluid under her feet: she battled as-I- with the, wings of Implacable angels Breathless she slipped on a stone and fell. She was sodden, her cloche dragged on her. Hjr loosened hair covered her eyes With a small, humble sound of distress aha tried to risa against the rain. Something Ughtfooted yet ponderous approached her. She heard the rain beat on another body. For an Instant shs vlskmsd a mist of rain spraying from th bulls shoulders, and cowered. Then she knew t waa Lennan In an oilskin coat. He said nothing. He stooped and lifted her. and that ease awed her. He carried her silently to the house snd set her down In an old chair.

He said, "You aint been for more roses" Eves but no sound cams lips moved, He cams a pace nearer to her. He said, and she knew that as be said It he became more formidable, "Tell me, who was you waiting for at my place, that night I came home?" "No ons He put out hi hand, swept her roughly to her feet. "Dont lie to me." he said Ev was silent. Shs lifted her hands and covered her face Outside, the bull sent a sudden thunder Into the , rain.

She grew cold and still a a if she died. Lennan turned her face up to his own. Then he. too. grew still. For that face waa wet with tears Presently he released her. He stood away from her. Eve waited, but there came no word, no sound. And without looking at him. she walked steadily out of the house, under the hammered roses and away into the rmJn. From the corral the bull watched her. head lowered, shoulders swinging a little, ss If readv to charge something that had hurt him. She walked steadily home. She did not leave her own home for a week. The rain waa heavy enough for her excuse.

When they came here, there were stars among the tree on the top, but the early night was clear and green; Lennan could discern land, warped fences and a garden, all blurred with sword-ferand ealmonberry. He looked for the log bouse that was to be hi home. He stopped. He had expected no welcome, but someone was thera A woman stood on the porch, picking roses from a climber that straggled over the door. They were white roses. Little was visible hut her hands moving among them, Lennan and the bull waited. Incredibly still. When her hands were full, she turned. She had not eeen Lennan Yet now, advancing a little, she said clearly. Is that you. my dearest?" Lennan stood motionless The soft voice went on. with a little laugh, 'Tvs waited so long for you. Now you're come, say, Tm glad to be boms . . . Im glad to be horns said Lennan. In a moment the hull lowered hie head, bellowing thunderously. She had been utterly still, staring and dumb: only her bands had opened and let the flowers fail.

"It cant last this wav. it cant Then one night she woke and knew th rain had stopped She left her bed and went to the window. The forest was black under the stars Only the mountain behind Maceys was covered with a clinging cloud.
