with astonishment.

"Oh, I guess you have," and Reynolds smiled. "They raise and train
them in Germany. I met them in France."

"What! were you over there?" Glen's interest and admiration were
intense now.

"Yes, almost from the beginning of the war. I was a sharpshooter, you
see, and so had excellent practice."

soul, and when his eyes again met hers a sudden embarrassment came upon
him.

"Do you live here?" he unexpectedly asked.

This question aroused Glen, and she at once assumed the defensive. The
expression in her eyes changed, and she looked apprehensively around.

"A long way from here," she replied. "I must be off at once."

"Let me go with you, Miss Weston," Reynolds suggested. "You are
unarmed, and may meet another grizzly before you reach home."

"How do you know who I am?" the girl asked. "You never saw me before,
did you?"
