Woman's nature is as beautiful and fascinating now as when the master-hand of the world's greatest poet delineated it, and when living, breathing Edith Allen stepped suddenly among his shadows, seemingly so luminous, they vanished before her, as the stars pale into nothingness when the eastern sky is aglow with morning.

"I've made room for you," he said in greeting, pointing to the sledge.
"And that I am to be the one to find them, to decipher them, and to give the great knowledge to the world " "Who will not believe," laughed Laidlaw shortly, yet interested in spite of his thinly-veiled contempt.
