She was still singing as she danced
down the broad ftlales of the forest to
ward a little stream where he was Ash

"You look like a dryad." Leslie snld.

She laughed. "That's the seventh
time In seven duys that you have ask
ed me to marry you. And I will al
ways tell you that I am wedded to the
mountains."
"You are wedded to an Idea. You
"think that you can be happy all your
life living up here, but you ctp't."
"You think I should be happier with
you?"
"I know It." lie said -eagerly.
She shook her head.
"Rut I shouldn't be free. Here I am
mistress of my own domain. There
Is no one but old Aunt Dolly and Un
cle Fred to consider, and as long as
they have it comfortable llreside and
the magazines and novels that I order
from town they are content. And my
servants are the mountain people. For
tho rest. I have the birds and tho
bees and the butterflies."
Leslie's eyes twinkled. "And how
long have you lived alono with the
birds and the butterflies?"
"Since May." she told him.
"And now It Is October. What of
' tho winter days that are coming,
when the Jilrtls fly south and the but
terflies dfc ;uid the bees He close in
the hollow trees?"
"Then there will be the beauty of tho
dead forests and the snow on tho

He smiled at her. "That meaus so

they were separated, you know. Aud
so we were always hiding, always shut
in. And after she died X was sent to
a .school lu a big city and lived all of
my girlhood behind high walls.
"Whou I became ray own mistress I
bought a bungalow out here, and be*
cause I had lived always under strict
rules I said that 1 would live without

eame I was at> free as a bird."
"And now you are uot five'-" He put'
the question eagerly.
Her grave eyes met his steadily.
"No," she said: "you you hare made
me question. I ara very happy when I
am with you. lishlug or learning songs
or hearing you tell of your travels.
And sometimes It seems to me that is
the greater happiness.
"But wIihu 1 am uloue I think of the
city ' where you would take me aud
that you would havo a right to say
whether I should go or eonie, and I
feel as If i were again behind high
walls."
Her eyes were dark, with a queer
kind of terror.
"Poor little wild bird," said Leslie
tenderly; "they kept you caged too
long."
He made her sit down beside him
while he led the conversation cheer
fully Into other channels, and after a
time lie taught her more songs, aud
their voices rang out melodiously lu
the still October air. Aud all about
them was the glory of autumnal col
oring, the red aud gold and green of
the motiutaln side, with a sapphire sky
above.
And when their song was tiulshed
Leslie said, "Tomorrow I am going
home."
She caught her breath quickly. "^'To
morrow?"
"Yes; at half past 10 at night. Will
you wave me farewell?"
"You go by the river roadJ"
"Yes."
"I will be on my porch," she prom
ised. "You can see me lu the moon
light."
He took her hand and for a moment
stood, looking down at her. Then he
said softly: "I-shall not try to tell you
how hard It Is for me to go without
some hope. Perhaps some day you will
feel differently."
Agoiu the frightened look- came into
I
her eyes. "No? 110. If you knew how
unhappy my mother was? my father
was cruel"?
He dropped her hands. "And you
think," he began, "that I might be?"
"Oh, no, no!" she protested. "Bat
you would have the right to say what
I should do. You would be? my mas
ter."
"Little child," he commanded, "look
at me."
Anil when her eyes met his won
derlugly ho said slowly: "Love like
mine asks nothing but your happiness.
As my wife you would be free, for,
after all, that woman is the freest who
lives wltlilu the circle of her husband's
love."
But she shook her head. "I can't
feel I hat way," she murmured. "I
wish I could."
The uext night as Leslie's horse pick
ed Us way carefully down the winding
road It reared a little when a white
tlgure came out of the bushes.
? I couldn't bear to wave goodby so
far away," the girl faltered as he dis
mounted' and stood beside her. Her
face was very pale In the moonlight,
and her hair shone like gold. "And
then there Is something that I want to
say."
A llxht c auie into his eyes as he
bent over her. "Tell me," he whis
pered.
"I love you," she said simply, but
shook her head at his eager exclama
tion. "But I cannot marry you? not
now. It would not be right? not while
I have this fear of the city. But I
want to ask If? Jf? some day I feel
dlffereully? if I should send for you?
would you come?"
"From the ends of the earth," ho de
clared. "But if It could only be now,
dear heart."
The tears were on her cheeks. "I
can't promise," she sobbed. "Some
thing seems to hold me back. But I
could not let you go without telling
you that I cared."
All that winter Leslie waited for his
summons, so secure was he in her ulti
mate need of him. But the winter
passed and the spring, and the sum
mer came agalu aud the fall, and once
tuore the woods were red aud gold and
green, and still he had heard uothlug
from her.
Aud one day he said to himself: "I
must go to her. Surely If she loves
me she will say 'Yes.' "
It was raining as he ascended the
mountain, and the leaves were sodden
under the horse's feet. Fear seemed to
clutch at his heart as he came to tho
bungalow, where a single spot of light
shone out through the gathering dark
ness.
He crept to the window and gazed
in and saw her sitting before her big
tire alone, a little wasted figure iu a
white gown.
It seemed as If his heart stopped
beatlug as he hurried through the hall
and came Into the room where she sat.
"Dear." he said, and she stood up,
with a little cry, and then his arms
were about her, aud she was sobbing
wildly.
"Tht-u why didn't you send for me1"
he demanded.
"Because I couldn't ask you to marry
ine when I was ill aud ugly, when I
would not when I was. well, could I?"
she usked "1 took cold last winter,
aud then there was pneumonia, and
uow they keep me shut in. All sum
mer and all the spring and fall I have
watched from the windows. I knew If
you came you would set me free, but I
couldn't write and burden you with
my woes."
"In sickness aud In health," he quot
ed? "isn't that what they say In the
marriage service, dear? Aud uow lis
ten. You are to get well at once. We
will go to the desert, and we will live
in the sunshine, and we will start to
morrow."
She smiled up at him. "How good It
seems," she said, "to hear you say It so
masterfully! If yoj knew how 1 have
longed for some one to carry me off."
And a month later as she sat In front
of her tent on the dry plain and the
wind rn filed her hair and brought the
pink of returning health to her cheeks
her husband said. "So the little wild
bird came back to her cage."
She shook her head and reached out
her hand to him. "Ah, no," she said,
and her voice thrilled with the won
der of her happiness. "Ah, no; but tho
little wild bird found herjuate."
