IEEE. 268 Co LAUGHING Bovy ‘I shall be happy with you anywhere that vc wish to take me. As you have said, there is not: - ing between us now. You have made up to m= and revenged me, for everything the Americar: have done to me, My Slayer of Enemy Gods.’ ‘You must not call me that; it is wicked to ca’ a human being by such a name.’ She answered him with another kiss. H: thought he had never seen her look so happy. Fc- the first time since he had known her, she looke+ as young as she was, a year or so younger thar himself. Her face was full of peace. They fell to planning. Reckoning their re- sources, they concluded that they had amassec the astounding sum of three thousand dollars ir money, goods, and horses. He did not want t- take what came ts%gh her lover, but she said: ‘No; I took it like spoils in war. It was war | made with him. And you made it yours when your arrow struck him. And we both paid for it. I think.’ ‘Perhaps when he gets well he will send police- men after us.’ ‘No, I know him. He will say nothing; he will be ashamed, I think.’
