"He was a strongman," he went on, "and she was a girl, weak, but not wanton ... and so she died, telling me, loving me so she died, and so he died, too, in the woods with his gun in his hand. Yes, 'twas done with his own gun by accident by accident! He stumbled, and the gun went off. That was the story at the inquest. No one knew I was there.

The minutes slipped away, and still he held her to his heart, the reality far surpassing his dream; for he knew that he was awake, and he realized this as the supreme hour that comes to the strongman who knows his love requited. When the first banner of red light arose above Medicine Woods and Singing Water the cocks on the hillside announced the dawn.
