presence of an emergency these men of
action had actually not exchanged a
dozen words. The Indian led; Thorpe
followed.
When the halt was called, Thorpe fell
into his blanket too weary even to eat.
Next morning sharp, shooting pains,
like the stabs of swords. ran through
his groin.
You come repeated the. Indian,
stoiid as ever.
When the sun was an hour high the
travellers suddenly ran into a trail
which as suddenly diVed into a spruce
thicket. On the other side OF it Thorpe
unexpectedly found himself in an ex-
tensive clearing, dotted with the black
ened stumps of pines. Athwart the
distance he could perceive he-wfde

Thorpe calculated rapidly. The en-
envy would require, even with their
teams, a day to cover the thirty miles
to the fishing village of Munising,
whence the stage ran each morning to
l
South Shore railroad. He, Thorpe, on
foot and three hours behind, could new
er have caught the stage. But from
Seney only one train a day was dis
patched to connect at MaCkinaW City
with the Michigan Central. and on that
one train, due to leave this very morn

room the signals would be given He
found. as is often the case in north
