By another of those swift, incalculable processes which at this stage of my apprenticeship I failed often to grasp, Dr. Silence reclosed the circle about the tent and body. BY ANOTHER OF THOSE SWIFT INCALCULABLE PROCESSES WHICH AT THIS STAGE OF MY APPRENTICESHIP I FAILED OFTEN TO GRASP DOCTOR SILENCE RECLOSED THE CIRCLE ABOUT THE TENT AND BODY
 faintly sounding through the trees and brushwood, came a similar, answering cry. Shrill, yet wonderfully musical, shaking the heart with a singular wild sweetness that defies description, we heard it rise and fall upon the night air. "It's across the lagoon," Dr. Silence cried, but this time in full tones that paid no tribute to caution. "It's Joan! She's answering him!" Again the wonderful cry rose and fell, and that same instant the animal lowered its head, and, muzzle to earth, set off on a swift easy canter that took it off into the mist and out of our sight like a thing of wind and vision. The doctor made a quick dash to the door of Sangree's tent, and, following close at his heels, I peered in and caught a momentary glimpse of the small, shrunken body lying upon the branches but half covered by the blankets—the cage from which most of the life, and not a little of the actual corporeal substance, had escaped into that other form of life and energy, the body of passion and desire. SIDE FAR ACROSS THE ISLAND FAINTLY SOUNDING THROUGH THE TREES AND BRUSHWOOD CAME A SIMILAR ANSWERING CRY SHRILL YET WONDERFULLY MUSICAL SHAKING THE HEART WITH A SINGULAR WILD SWEETNESS THAT DEFIED DESCRIPTION WE HEARD IT RISE AND FALL UPON THE NIGHT AIR IT'S ACROSS THE LAGOON DOCTOR SILENCE CRIED BUT THIS TIME IN FULL TONES THAT PAID NO TRIBUTE TO CAUTION IT'S JOAN SHE'S ANSWERING HIM AGAIN THE WONDERFUL CRY ROSE AND FELL AND THAT SAME INSTANT THE ANIMAL LOWERED ITS HEAD AND MUZZLE TO EARTH SET OFF ON A SWIFT EASY CANTER THAT TOOK IT OFF INTO THE MIST AND OUT OF OUR SIGHT LIKE A THING OF WIND AND VISION THE DOCTOR MADE A QUICK DASH TO THE DOOR OF SANGREE'S TENT AND FOLLOWING CLOSE AT HIS HEELS I PEERED IN AND CAUGHT A MOMENTARY GLIMPSE OF THE SMALL SHRUNKEN BODY LYING UPON THE BRANCHES BUT HALF COVERED BY THE BLANKETS THE CAGE FROM WHICH MOST OF THE LIFE AND NOT A LITTLE OF THE ACTUAL CORPOREAL SUBSTANCE HAD ESCAPED INTO THAT OTHER FORM OF LIFE AND ENERGY THE BODY OF PASSION AND DESIRE
