a0081 What if she did not come to the rock
a0082 His face was streaming with blood
a0083 A shadow was creeping over Pierre's eyes
a0084 Scarcely had he uttered the name when Pierre's closing eyes shot open
a0085 A trickle of fresh blood ran over his face
a0086 Death had come with terrible suddenness
a0087 Philip bent lower, and stared into the face of the dead man
a0088 He made sure that the magazine was loaded, and resumed his paddling
a0089 The nightglow was treacherous to shoot by
a0090 The singing voice approached rapidly
a0091 His blood grew hot with rage at the thought
a0092 He went down in midstream, searching the shadows of both shores
a0093 For a full minute he crouched and listened
a0094 He had barely entered this when he saw the glow of a fire
a0095 A big canvas tent was the first thing to come within his vision
a0096 Perhaps she had already met her fate a little deeper in the forest
a0097 Then you can arrange yourself comfortably among these robes in the bow
a0098 Shall I carry you
a0099 A maddening joy pounded in his brain
a0100 You must sleep, he urged
a0101 You, you would not keep the truth from me
a0102 He will follow us soon
a0103 But there came no promise from the bow of the canoe
a0104 She was sleeping under his protection as sweetly as a child
a0105 Only, it is so wonderful, so almost impossible to believe
a0106 The emotion which she had suppressed burst forth now in a choking sob
a0107 If you only could know how I thank you
a0108 He waded into the edge of the water and began scrubbing himself
a0109 Do you know that you are shaking my confidence in you
a0110 Much, replied Jeanne, as tersely
a0111 Instead, he joined her; and they ate like two hungry children
a0112 He was wounded in the arm
a0113 I suppose you picked that lingo up among the Indians
a0114 Her words sent a strange chill through Philip
a0115 He had no excuse for the feelings which were aroused in him
a0116 Was it the rendezvous of those who were striving to work his ruin
a0117 She added, with genuine sympathy in her face and voice
a0118 Pierre obeys me when we are together
a0119 Jeanne was turning the bow shoreward
a0120 My right foot feels like that of a Chinese debutante
