David was simple of mind and heart, and to him

was synonymous with the condition. In the north
woods, the Chippewa mind is as simple as the heart
is honest. Neither the alternative of deceit of
reasoning with the girl occurred to David. He was
going to Thief River to fetch whisky. To fulfil his
mission he must break his promise. True, he might
have told the boss of the girl and of the promise;

told himself stoutly, and he, David Lippault, must

At length the gray of morning came slowly out of
the east fltering coldly through the pines. Fifteen
miles lay behind, and he calculated that by he
could be at Thief River. WEAKNESS and hunger
were growing upon him His back ached also his

for the fifth time away from the camp, and its
outskirts, past the little shack called the office,
peered anxous1y the winter landscape in the
direction of Thief River. And this time the
