“
It
means
,
”
he
said
desperately
,
“
that
I
know
what
he
wants
,
but
it
is
as
far
removed
from
my
power
to
help
him
as
it
would
be
to
give
him
a
star
.
The
thing
for
which
he
will
die
,
he
can
never
have
.
”
“
Then
you
must
prepare
for
the
end
very
shortly
”
said
the
surgeon
,
turning
abruptly
away
.
McLean
caught
his
arm
roughly
.
“
You
look
here
!
”
he
cried
in
desperation
.
“
You
say
that
as
if
I
could
do
something
if
I
would
.
I
tell
you
the
boy
is
dear
to
me
past
expression
.
I
would
do
anything
—
spend
any
sum
.
You
have
noticed
and
repeatedly
commented
on
the
young
girl
with
me
.
It
is
that
child
that
he
wants
!
He
worships
her
to
adoration
,
and
knowing
he
can
never
be
anything
to
her
,
he
prefers
death
to
life
.
In
God
’
s
name
,
what
can
I
do
about
it
?
”
“
Barring
that
missing
hand
,
I
never
examined
a
finer
man
,
”
said
the
surgeon
,
“
and
she
seemed
perfectly
devoted
to
him
;
why
cannot
he
have
her
?
”
“
Why
?
”
echoed
McLean
.
“
Why
?
Well
,
for
many
reasons
!
I
told
you
he
was
my
son
.
You
probably
knew
that
he
was
not
.
A
little
over
a
year
ago
I
never
had
seen
him
.
He
joined
one
of
my
lumber
gangs
from
the
road
.
He
is
a
stray
,
left
at
one
of
your
homes
for
the
friendless
here
in
Chicago
.
When
he
grew
up
the
superintendent
bound
him
to
a
brutal
man
.
He
ran
away
and
landed
in
one
of
my
lumber
camps
.
He
has
no
name
or
knowledge
of
legal
birth
.
The
Angel
—
we
have
talked
of
her
.
You
see
what
she
is
,
physically
and
mentally
.
She
has
ancestors
reaching
back
to
Plymouth
Rock
,
and
across
the
sea
for
generations
before
that
.
She
is
an
idolized
,
petted
only
child
,
and
there
is
great
wealth
.
Life
holds
everything
for
her
,
nothing
for
him
.
He
sees
it
more
plainly
than
anyone
else
could
.
There
is
nothing
for
the
boy
but
death
,
if
it
is
the
Angel
that
is
required
to
save
him
.
”
The
Angel
stood
between
them
.
“
Well
,
I
just
guess
not
!
”
she
cried
.
“
If
Freckles
wants
me
,
all
he
has
to
do
is
to
say
so
,
and
he
can
have
me
!
”
The
amazed
men
stepped
back
,
staring
at
her
.
