Now during this day there had been blowing a warm wind which had melted the snow, so that the prairie was covered with water, yet this young man's moccasins and leggings were dry.

"And this is what I would say: in one year from this I will marry you, if"—with a faint tremble in her tone—"you then still care to marry me. But not before." "Oh, if—if—if!" interrupts he.

She is still wondering vaguely who he can be, when he breaks the silence..
