cities and disrupts the earth Slowly It
began Its readjustment. There was no
other life to give aid or sympathy; and
just as they had suffered alone, so now
the forest people struggled back into life
alone. building up from the wreck Of what
mad been the things that were to be.
For months the Crees walled their death
dirges as they sought out the bones OF
their dead. Men dragged themselves into
the posts, wifeless and ch1ldless, leaving
deep In the wilderness all that they had
known to love and give them comfort.
Now and then came a woman, and around
the black scars OF burned cabins and tee
PEGS dogs nowled mournfully for masters
that were gone.
The plague had taken a thousand souls,
and yet the laughing, dancing millions in
that other big world beyond the edge of
the wilderness caught only a passing .ru-
NOR of what had happened.
Lac Balm suffered least Of the far north
ern posts, with the exception Of Churchill,
where the icy winds downpouring from
the arctic had sent the red terror SILVER
ing to the westward. In the late SHOWS
word came that Cummins was to take
Williams place as factor. and Perez at
once set on for the Fond du Lac to bring
back Jean de Gravois as ''chief man.
Croisset gave up his fox hunting to fill
Mukee's place.
The changes brought new happiness to
Melissa. Croisset's wife was a good
woman who had spent her girlhood in
Montreal. and Iowaka, now the mother
daughter, was a soft-voiced young Venus,
who had grown sweeter and prettier with
her years-which is not usually the case
with half-breed women. But It's good

&c. for the first time in her life. Melissa
discovered the joys Of companionship with
those of her own kind.
This new companionship, pleasant As 1t
was, did not come between her and Jan.
If anything, they were more to each
other than ever. The terrible months
through which they had passed had
changed them both. and had given them.

To Melissa they had opened up new

things that existed about her The stern
knowledge that comes Of grief. Of terror
and OF death. and she had passed beyond
her years. just as the cumulative proc
esses Of generations made the Indian
children pass beyond theirs.
She no longer looked upon Jan as a
mere playmate, being whose diversion
was to amuse and to love her. He had
become a man. In her eyes he was a
hero, who had gone forth to fight the
death Of which she still heard word and
whisper all about her. Croisset's wife and
Iowaka told her that he had done the
bravest thing that a man might do on
earth. She spoke proudly OF him to the
Indian children. who called him the
torch bearer" She noticed that no was

him from below. he climbed up until he

She darted away sliftly along the snow
covered ridge. haunting him with merry
laughter as she left him clambering in
cautious descent down the rock. Jan fol-
lowed in pursuit. shouting to her in
French, In Cree and in English, and their

Jan slackened his steps. It was a joy
to see Melissa springing from rock to
close ahead Of him, her hair loosening
and sweeping out in the sun, her slender
figure fleeing with the lightness Of the
pale sun shadows that ran up and down
the mountain.
He would not have overtaken her Of
his own choosing, but at the foot of the
ridge Melissa gave up. She returned to-
ward him. painting and laughing, SHIN
mering like a sea naiad under the glisten

glowed with excitement: her eyes, filled
with the light Of the sun, dazzled Jan in
