Unconsciously he was smil- ing and his soul was rising out of its dark prison as he saw Thoreau's big hand stroking Marie's shining hair. He was watching Thoreau when, at a word from Marie, the Frenchman suddenly swung open the oven door and pulled forth a huge roasting pan. At sight of the pan Father Roland gave a joyous cry, and he rubbed his bands together. The rich aroma of that pan! A delicious whiff of it had struck their nostrils even before the cabin door had opened--that and a perfume of coffee, but not until now did the fragrance of the oven and the pan smite them with all #s po- tency. "Mallards fattened on wild rice, and a rabbit--my favorite---a rabbit roasted with an onion where his heart was, and well peppered," gloated the Little Missioner. "Dear Heavens'! was there ever such a mess to put strength into a 'man's gizzard? And coffee--this coffee of Marie's! It is smore than ambrosia. It is an élixir which transforms a eup into a foun- tain of youth. Take off your coat, David; take off your coat and make yourself at home!" : As David stripped off his coat, and followed that with his collar and tie, he thought of his steamer trunk with its Tuxedo and dress-coat, its pique shirts and poke collars, its suede gloves and kid-topped patent leathers and he felt the tips of his ears be- ginning to burn. He was sorry now that he \had given the Missioner the check to that trunk. then drying it on a towel that had once been a burlap bag. But he 'had noticed that it was clean--as clean as the pink-flushed face of Marie. And the Frenchman himself, with all his heir, and his beard, and his rough-worn clothing, was as clean as the burlap toweling. Being a stranger, suddenly plunged into a life entirely new to him, these things impressed David. When they sat down to the table-- Thoreau sitting for company, and Marie standing behind them. He was A minute later he was sousing his face in a big tin wash-basin, and |: David had eaten duck before; that is, he had eaten of the family anas boschas disguised in thick gravies and highbrow sauces, but this duck that he ate at Thoreau's table was like no other duck that he had ever tasted in all his life . He began with misgivings at the three-pound carcass and he ended with an entirely new feeling of stuffed satisfaction. He explored at will into its structure, and he found succulent morsels which he had never dreamed of as existing in this particular bird, for his experi- ence. had never beforee gone beyond a leg of duck and thinly carved slices of' breast of duck, at from eighty cents to a dollar and a quarter an order. He would have been ashamed of himself when he had finjshed had if not been that Father Roland seem- ed only at the beginning, and was turning the vigor of his attack from duck to rabbit and onion. From then on David kept him company by drink- ing a third cup of coffee. . When he had finished Father Ro- land settled back with a sigh of con- tent, and drew a worn Wackskin pouch from one of fhe voluminous pockets of his trousers. Out of this he produced a black pipe and tobacco. At the same time Thoreau was fill- ing and' lighting hig own.' In his studies and late-hour work at home David himself had been a pipe-smok- er but of late his pipe had been dis- tasteful to him, and it had been many weeks since he had indulged in any- thing but cigars an dan ibs Ow, 80 that she would not be part of their company or whatever con- versation they might have, Marie had seated herself, 'her round .chin in the cup of her brown hand, her dark eyes shining at this comfort and sat- isfaction of men. Such scenes as this amply repaid her for all her toil in life, She was happy. There was content in thi; cabin. David felt it. It impinged itself upon him, and through him, in a strange and mys- terious way. Within these log walls he felt the presence of that spirit-- the joy of companionship and of life ~--which had so terribly eluded and escaped him' in his own home of wealth and luxury, He heard Marie speak only once that night--once in a low, soft voice to Thoreau. She was silent with the silence of the Cree wife In the presence of a stranger, but he knew that her heart was throbbing with the soft pulse of hap- piness, and for some reason he was glad when Thoreau nodded proudly toward a closed door and let him know that she was a mother. Marie heard him, and in that moment Da- vid caught in her face a look that made his heart ache--a look that should have been part of his own life, and which he had missed. A little later Thoreau led the way into the room which David was to nccupy for the night.
