"In how many ways did you find me right?" he asked.

"I think all--but one," she replied, with a laugh and a shudder. "I'm near starved NOW--I was so furious at Bo that I could have choked her. I faced that horrible brute.... Oh, I know what it is to fear death!... I was lost twice on the ride--absolutely lost. That's all."

Bo found her tongue. "The last thing was for you to fall wildly in love, wasn't it?"

"According to Dale, I must add that to my new experiences of to-day--before I can know real life," replied Helen, demurely.

The hunter turned away. "Let us go," he said, soberly.
