Hla lipa moved, but he did not speck; he was counting. “Two," abv mw hla Ilf« form. The sound of the Drum was contlnu Ing. the beats a few seconds apart “Twelve." Conatance counted to her Mlf. The beats had se»n9-d to be quite measured and regular at first; but now Constance knew that this wsi only roughly true; they beat rather In rhythm than at regular Intervals “Twenty—twenty-one — twenty-two 1" Cunstance caught breath and waited for the next beat; the time of the in terval between the measures of the rhythm passed, and still only the whistle of the wind and the undertone of waler aoumled. The Drum hod beaten Its roll and. for the moment waa done. Twenty-two had been her count, as ■warty as ahe could count at all; the reckoning agreed with what the Indian woman had heard. Two had died, then, since the Drum last had beat when Its roll was twenty. Two more than before; that meant five were left I Constance caught up bar woolen hood from the table and put It on. Her action aeemed to call Heury to Mtn self.

She shrank back from him ao he lurched toward her with hands out stretched to seise her; he followed her, and she avoided him again; If his guilt and terror had given her mental ascendency over him. hie physical strength could still force her to hla will and. realising the Impossibility of evading him or overcoming him, she stopped. “Not that I" ahe cried. “Don't touch me I" « "Come with me, then I" he command ed; and he went to the door and laid hla snowshoes on the enow and stepped Into them, stooping and tight ening the straps; he stood by while she put on hers. He did not attempt again to put hands upon her as they moved away from the little cabin to ward the woods back of the clearing; but went ahead, breaking the trail for her with hie snowshoes. He moved forward slowly; he could travel. If be bad wished, three feet to every two that ahe could «over, bat be aeemed not wishing for speed but rather for delay. A deep, dull resonance was booming above the wood; It boomed again and ran Into a rhythm. No longer waT It above; at least It was not only above; It was all about them— here, there, to right and to left, before, behind—the booming of the Drum. Doom was the substance of that sound of the Drum beating the roll of the dead.

"Twenty- four—twenty-flve—twenty-elsI” Would he count another! He did not; and her pulses, which had halted, leaded with relief.
