sight of the cabin his mind was again
at work on physical things—on the
neeessitiesiof the sithation. The ape
palling thing, after all, was not that
both Pierrot and Nepeese were dead,
but that his dream was shattered. 32
was not that Nepeese was dead, but

not go far. An eetiltate cry, inhuman
as the cry of a ieast, came m a grebe
breath from his gaping mouth as he
saw that she was staggering weakly
as she fled. He was halfway to the
edge of the forest -when Baree drag-
ged himeelf over the threshold, His
jaws were bleeding where MeTeggart
had kicked him again and agate lie -
fore his fangs gave way. Halfway
between his ears was a seared spot,

there for an instant. This was where
IVIcTaggares bullet had gone. A

And as sheelooked, there Whiseered
up out of her soul and trembled on
her lips the swan -song of her mother's
people.
