The very mystery added to the dread.
Could it have been Dupont? There
a no other conception possible, yet
it seemed like a miracle that they

whoever it was, where had he gone?
How had he disappeared so suddenly
and completely? He could not be far
away, that was a certainty. No plains
man would attempt to ford that icy
stream, nor desert the shelter OF these
bluffs in face OF the storm. It would
be suicidal. And il Dupont and hts

ghostly outline OF a small elevation
loomed through the murk. He stared
at it scarce believing. imagining a de-

voice back in a shout on the wind.
