"If I should die," he said, "and you are near, do not desert me. Go to the place where I fell, and if my body should have been destroyed look carefully around the place. If you can find even a shred of my flesh or a bit of my bone, it will be well. So said my dream. Here are four arrows, which the dream told me to make.

"It shall be as you say," replied the Wolf; "our new friend will be glad.".

He pauses. In the darkness a loving, clinging hand has again crept into his, full of sweet entreaty, and by a gentle pressure has reduced him to calmness.

"But why?" demands he, dense as men will be at times. Then, as she refuses to enlighten his ignorance, slowly the truth dawns upon him. The woman went on and got the water, and when she came back she took the stone and gave it to her husband, telling him about the song and what the stone had said. "And severe-looking? You said she was like you." Mona makes no reply..
