The reason was extremely simple.
Ko words have ever been capable of

For an Instant he had ah exult

But some smell In the a ir seemed to
reach him, and he came stealing back.
In reality, the K iller wag puzzled.
He had come to this place straight
through the forest with the ekpecta-

now, as he waited et the border of

The smell that he had expected had

All at once a movement, far across

seemed that some one had come, taken
