been there observing me / could not
know, but when 1 first saw him he
was bent forward, apparently deeply
interested in some sudden discovery
upon the ground at his feet.
"You thought me long in returning.

bluff yonder beautiful. You may gain
some conception Of it still, If you

He lifted his head with a jerk and
stared into my face.

yet I hardly think it was the view
which held you here so long. Whose
boot print is this, madame? not yours,
surely"
1 glanced where he pointed, my
heart leaping, yet not altogether with
regret. The young sieur had left his
trail behind, and it would serve me
whether by his will or no.

II trust, monsieur, your powers Of OBJ

Nor is this time for any lightness
Of speech, my lady," he retorted, his
anger famed by my Indifference.
"Whose is it then, l ask you? What
man has been your companion here?"
"You jump at conclusions, mon
sieur," l returned coldly. "The stray
imprint of a mans boot OF the turf
is scarcely evidence that l have had
a companion. Kindly stand aside and
permit me to descend"
"Mon dieu! l will mott" and he
blocked my passage. II have stood
enough Of your tantrums already In
the boat. Now we are alone and
will have my say. You shall remain
here until l learn the truth"
His rage rather amused me, and
felt not the slightest emotion Of fear,
although there was threat in his
words and in the gesture accompany
ing them. l do not think the smile
even deserted my lips, as l sought q
comfortable seat on a fallen tree
, trunk, fully conscious that nothing
would so infuriate the man as studied
Indifference.

slant later he was gone.
I know not how long l stood there
staring into vacancy, haunted by re-

Slowly all else crystallized into indig-

unfair; his simple code of the woods

I turned to retrace my way to the

OF the presence Of Cassion.

"IIc. Never did he even conceive
what occurred, until | told him later
on the river. Even now | doubt If
his sluggish brain has graspcd the
truth. TO him the alliance was an
honor, an opening to possible wealth
in the fur trade through Cassion's in
fucnCe with La Barre. He could per
celve nothing else except his good luck
in thus Kidding himself OF the care
of n poor niece who had been a sorry
burden"
"But you explained to him."
II tried to, but only to regret the
effort. Giant as he Is physically, his
intellect Is that OF n big boy. All he
can conceive OF is rcvenge-a desire to
crush with his hands. He hates Cas-
sion, because the man has robbed him
Of the use Of my fathers money; but
for my position he cares nothing. TO
his mind the wrong has all been done
to him, and | fear he will brood over
1t until he seeks revenge. II he does
he will ruin everything"
D'Artigny stood silent, evidently in
thought, endeavoring to grasp the
threads OF my tale.
"How did you attain the summit OF
this bluff" he questioned at last.
"Yonder; there is a deer trail lead
ing down"
