Eight consider leasing and buying up Gannon Creek land in reaon of the treek for lumbering. Sheriff Hatler and his deputies came, pleased with the law. They thought they had captured the man who murdered Sparrel. They had him in jail over at Williamson. The sheriff was going over there In person after this wedding of Cynthia Pattern, the daughter of Sparrel. He talked a great deal: "A good match this is. That young Warren feller has a bead on him.

It would be Idle to try-texplain It so llessie could understand, she handed her a basketful of things from the table. "Vou take these to your mother, llessie, and to l)oug." Jasper got her mule and led It up . to the She gave Cynthia a last look from her hooded eyes and sallow face. "I guess I'll be going now. Vou leaving tomorrow?" "Yes.

She slipped ber arm through his for reassurance and looked up at him. He smiled at her and stroked ber hand. "I hope we're going to have the sun for our trip on the boat tomorrow." "I am sure we will." The evening was soft with spring and the pale moon. Cranesnest was The Milky quiet under the stars. Way lay like a wisp of fog once more over Wolfpen as It bad lain In the days of Saul Pattern, calm and Im memorial above the affairs of this hollow. Looking up the dark hillside to the night sky, Cynthia had the sensation that the year was a dream and the events that had befallen it no more substantial than this plume of white mist in the space above her. They sat in the evening as a family on the old porch This and Sparrel had built: Lucy and her family, Jesse and Abral, Jenny and her family, Jasper and Jane, Cynthia and Keuben. .The talk was of the life on Wolfpen through the years, of the Incidents In their family life. Keuben sat very quiet holding Cynthia's hand, Cynthia going out to be one of the family for a sentence or two, then hurrying back to be lost In her world with Keuben. "Married.

She heard through ber tears the voice of Keuben speaking to Jesse and there was laughter In It. She thought of the cottage In the orchard above the rivers. The cherry trees would be In bloom when 'they got there. That would be her place, as Wolfpen had been Julia's and now wa Jane's. "It Isn't so hard to leave everything, going with Keuben." Jesse rode away with them. Jane stood at the kitchen door, as Julia used to do when Sparrel was riding over to town. She waved to Cynthia, and Keuben lifted his hat, returning the farewell. Lucy and Jenny and their children were In the yard. They found Jasper at work in Poplar Pottom and bade him good-bthere. "Take care of yourself," he said, "and come up and see us now before long." They took the more difficult trail around Cranesnest because Cynthia did not want to pass the spot where her father was struck down.
