CHAPTER XIV.

Old Cy was, above all, q peaceable
man, and while curiosity had led him
to follow the trail OF this robber and
to cross this vast swamp. now that he
saw the suggestive smoke sign, he
hesitated about venturlng nearer.
II guess we'd best beN keerful," he
whispered to Ray, cor we may wish
we had been. / cailate our pirate
friends got hldin' spot over thar, n
most likely don't want callers. He
may be only e queer old trapper lit
tie short o. scruples ag'in' talxin' what
he finds, n then ag'in he may be
worse'n that His campin' spots ag'in
him, anyhow"
But the sun was now very low; q
camp site must soon be found, and
scarce two minutes from the time he
saw this rising column of smoke, Old
cy dipped his paddle and slowly drew
back into the protecting forest. Once
well out OF sight, the canoe was turned
and they sped back downstream and
into the swamp once more. Here he
turned aside into lagoon they had
passed, and &C fits head they pulled
their canoe out into the bog.
The two gathered up their belong.
tngS, and picking their way out OF the
morass, reached the belt Of hard bot
tom Rkirting the ridge. They we're
now out Of sight from the lake, but
sttl too near the stream to risk a
campfire. and so Old Cy led the way
along this belt until a more secluded
niche in the ridge was reached, ana
here they began camp.makinG.
That night was the longest ever
passed by Ray, for not until near morn
ing did he fall into a fltful slumber,
and scarcely had he lost himself be-
fore Old cy was up and watching for
the dawn.
its first faint glow was visible when
Rays eyes opened. and without wait
Ing for IRE or breakfass. they started
Tor the top OF the ridge. From here

muttered. Ms he examined these signs
OF a trapper's presence, and then,
mindful Of the sun. he padded on
again.
And now an upland growth Of tall
spruce was seen ahead, the banks bo-
came In evidence. and a slight current
was met. One more long bend IN the
stream was followed. then came curv-
ing banks and large-bodied spruce.
They were out OF the swamp.
Soon a more distinctive current op-
posed them, low murmur OF running
water came from ahead. and then q
pass between two abutting lodges was
entered Here the stream eddied over
sunken rocks, and pushing on. the for
est seemed suddenly TO vanish as they
emerged from the gloom OF this short
canyon, and the next moment they
caught sight OF long, narrow lakelet.
The sun, now almost 20 the tree

placid surface. and so welcome a
change was It from the ghostly. forbid

cd their canoe at once 20 look out
upon II. II was seemingly a mile long,
but quite narrow lake. A bold, rocky
shore rising in lodges faced them Just
across, and extended along that side,
back Of these low. green-clad noun
tain, to the right, and at the end OF
this lanelike lake holder, bare.topped
cliff was outlined clear and distinct.
The strip OF water, for II was not
much more. seemingly filled an oblong
gorge In these mountains, only one
break In them. to the left Of this bare
peak; and as Old Cy urged their canoe
out OF the alder-choked stream, now
currentless. once more, q margin line
of rushes and reeds was seen to form
that shore. Back Of these. also, rose
the low ledge they had passed.

But now something was discovered
that proved Old Cy's wisdom, for as
they. charmed somewhat by the spot,
yet feeling 1t forbidding, still glanced
up and down the bold shore Just
across, suddenly a thin column OF
smoke rose from away to the right,
amid the bare lodges.

air, then burst Of white, until the
