Then whatever the aviator was waiting for evidently happened, for he shut off his engine; came down in graceful spirals; straightened out; glided through the canyon and reappeared no more to the watchers in the forest of Thusis. "Now," remarked McKay coolly, "we know where we ought to go. Are you ready, Yellow-hair?"
She laughed out loud again, as she stopped herself within three feet of him, and said: 'Yea, friend Yellow-hair, we heard of the elks and looked to see thee hereabouts, and I knew thee at once when I came out from behind the crag and saw thee stand bewildered. Said Gold-mane: 'Hail to thee, Bow-may! and glad am I to see thee.
But the girl satisfied her thirst before she rose to her knees and looked around at him. "Are you tired, Yellow-hair?" he asked. "Yes.... Are you, Kay?" He shook his head and cast a glance around him. It was beautiful, this little woodland vale with its stream dashing through and its slopes forested with beech and birch splendid great trees with foliage golden green in the sun.
We'll hear his yelping. That's our only chance at him." "Could you ever hit him in the dark of dawn, Kay?" "With a pistol? And him atop a pine? No, not under ordinary conditions. But I'm hungry, dear Yellow-hair, and that is not all: you are hungry " He looked at her so intently that the colour tinted her face and the faint little thrill again possessed her.
Under this sacred symbol he carved: "SIR W. BLINT, BART." He stood at salute for a full minute. Then turned, dropped to his knees, and began another thorough search among the debris and dead leaves. "Hello, Yellow-hair!" She had been watching his approach from where she was seated balanced on the stream's edge, with both legs in the water to the knees.
The man, still searching the depths below with straining, patient gaze, said across his shoulder: "It was here somewhere near here, Yellow-hair, that I went over, and found what I found.... But it's not difficult to guess what you and I should find if we try to go over now." "Death?" she motioned with serene lips. He had turned to look at her, and he read her lips.
"There's the miracle, Yellow-hair." "Entirely. You know what I think? The more we love the more loyal we become to our own. I'm really quite serious. Take yourself for example, Kay. You are most ornamental in your kilts and heather-spats, and you are a better Yankee for it. Aren't you?" "Oh yes, a hopeless Yankee. But that drop of Scotch blood is singing tunes to-day, Yellow-hair."
The tone of Yellow-hair suggested that perhaps the men-boarders favoured Dawn; at all events, it was an attractive name and aroused interested inquiry from me. "Oh yes, some thought her a beauty! One would think she owned Noonoon! "There she is now," exclaimed the girl, pointing out another who was driving a fat pony in a yellow sulky. "Talk of the devil."
Presently she said: "Can I be noticed if I slip down through the bushes to the water?" "O God," he whispered, "be careful, Yellow-hair. ... No, the man in the boat is keeping his distance. He'll never see you. Don't splash when you take the water. Swim like an otter, under, until you're well out. ... You're young and sturdy, slim as you are.
"Surely, Captain Paul," said Israel to his commander, as about sunset they backed and stood in again for the land "surely, sir, you are not going right in among them this way? Why not wait till she comes out?" "Because, Yellow-hair, my boy, I am engaged to marry her to-night. The bride's friends won't like the match; and so, this very night, the bride must be carried away.
