raise money for his immediate needs Maybe
that was part of his scheme. Anyhow. it gave
him an excuse to keep visiting Reinhart's place

ceiving no answers to their queried gruntS

her to accompany them When they launched

was put, between the middle thwarts, and stared
listlessly at her sodden moccasins. They iab

fed her at lunch with bacon and black tea
Though she ate and drank mechanically, she
seemed oblivious to their presence. and their
superstitious natures were half frightened and
wholly awed by their strange guest
They travelled on, polling, padding and
tracking in turn, until. late that afternoon
there occurred an incident that suddenly trans
formed the girls apathy into frantic haste. At
the foot of a sharp declivity on the right shore
the Indian in the bow spied the body of man

crumpled body and pityingly shook their heads.
