Ivy herself was happier than she bad ever been before. There Is noth ing In the world so sweet as praise that Is well desorved. Usually they waked at dawn. Tbe next morning, however, they over slept.

His head was merely grazed, but he fell aa helplessly as one of his own logs and lay uncon scious at Ivy's feet. Durlnt tbe long siege Ivy had seemed calm and untroubled, but ber nervoua system bad been slow ly going to pieces. Bho perceived at once that Bowers waa not doad.
