death. And Marie, as she sat at his side,
did not think of him as a young man
thirty-seven. She talked to him as she
might have talked to an older brother of
JAMS, and with something like the same
reverence in her voice.
1t was unfortunate-fo her-that Jan
had loved Duval, and that he had never
tired of telling her about him. And now,
when Blake's caution warned him to lie
no more about the days of plague in
Duval's cabin, she told him-as he had
asked her-about herself and Jan: how
they had lived during the last three years,
the important things that had happened
to them, and what they were looking for
ward to.
He caught the low note of happiness
that ran through her voice; and with a
laugh, laugh that sounded real and
wholesome, he put out his hand in the
darkness-for the fire had burned itself
low-and stroked her hair She did not
shrink from the caress. He was happy
because they were happy. That was
her thought. And Blake did not go
too far.
She went on, telling JAMS life away,
betraying him in her happiness, crucifying
him in her faith. Blake knew that she
was telling the truth. She did not know
that Jan had killed Francois Breault, and
she believed that he would surely return
in three days. And the way he had
left her that morning! Yes, she confided
even that to this big brother of Jan, her

never entered into his code of life. To
him the Law was horsepower. 1t had
exalted him. 1t had forged an iron mask
over the face of his savagery And it was
the savage that was dominant in him now
He saw in Marie's dark eyes great love
love for murderer.
1t was not his thought that he might
ALLEVIATE that. For that look, turned upon
himself, he would have sacrificed his whole
world as it had previously existed. He
was scheming beyond that impossibility,
measuring her even as he called himself
Duval, counting-not his chances of sue
cess, but the length of time it would take
him to succeed.
He had never failed. A man had never
beaten him. A woman had never tricked
him. And he granted no possibility of
failure now. But-hows That was the
question that writhed and twisted itself
in his brain even as he smiled at her over
the table and told her Of the black days
of JAMS sickness up on the edge of the
Barren.
And then it came to him-all at once
Marie did not see. She did not feel She
had no suspicion of this loyal friend of her
husbands.
Blake's heart pounded triumphant. He
hobbled back to the cot, leaning on Ma
res slim shoulder; and as he hobbled he
told her how he had helped Jan into his
cabin in just this same way, and how at
the end Jan had collapsed-just as he did
when he came to the cot. He pulled Marie

exultation. 1t was more than exultation.
1t was feeling of possession. In the
hollow of his hand he-Blake, the man.
hunter-held the fate of this woman She
was the Fiddler's wife-and the Fiddler
was murderer.
Marie heard the sudden deep breath
that forced itself from his lips, a gasp that
would have been cry of triumph if he
had given it voice.
"You are in pain, 'sieu," she ex
claimed, turning toward him quickly.
"a little, he said, smiling at her. "Will
you help me to sit up, Marie?"
He saw ahead of him another and more
thrilling game than the man-hunt now.
And Marie, unsuspicious, put her arms
about the shoulders of the Pharisee and
helped him to rise.
THEY ate their supper with narrow
table between them. If there had been
a doubt in Blake's mind before that, the
half hour in which she sat facing him dis
PEELED it utterly. At first the amazing
beauty of Thoreau's wife had impinged
itself upon his senses with something like
shock. But he was cool now. He was
again master of his old cunning. Pitilessly
and without conscience, he was marshall
ing the crafty forces of his brute nature
for this new and more thrilling fght-the
fight for woman.
That in representing the Law he was
pledged to virtue as well as order had

self away.
Had he taken his fiddle along with him?
Yes-always that. Next to herself he
loved his violin. Oo-oo-no, no-she was
not jealous Of the violin! Blake laughed
such big, healthy, happy laugh, with
an odd tremble in it. He stroked her hair
again, and his fingers lay for an instant
against her warm cheek.
And then, quite casually, he played his
second big card.
"A man was found dead on the trail
yesterday" he said. aSome one killed
him. He had a bullet through his
lung. He was the mail-runner, Francois
Breault"
1T was then, when he said that Breault
had been murdered, that Blake's hand
touched Marie's cheek and fell to her
shoulder. 1t was too dark in the cabin
to see. But under his hand he felt her
grow suddenly rigid, and for moment or
two she seemed to stop breathing. In the
gloom Blake's lips were smiling. He had
struck, and he needed no light to see the
effect.
FRANCOIS he heard her
breathe at last, as if she were fight
ing to keep something from choking
her. FRANCOIS Breault- ult-dead-killed by
some one"
She rose slowly. His eyes followed her,
shadow in the gloom as she moved to-
ward the stove. He heard her strike
match, and when she turned toward him
again in the light of the oil lamp, her face
was pale and her eyes were big and star
ing. He swung himself to the edge Of the
cot, his pulse beating with the savage
thrill of the inquisitor. Yet he knew that
it was not quite time for him to disclose
himself-not quite. He did not dread the
moment when he would rise and tell her
that he was not injured, and that he was
not M'sieu Duval, but Corporal Blake
of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police.
He was eager for that moment. But he

sprung there would be no escape
"You are sure-it was Francois Bre-
ault?" she said at last.
He nodded.
eyes, the mail-runner You knew
him?"
She had moved to the table, and her
hand was gripping the edge of it. For
space she did not answer him, but seemed
to be looking somewhere through the
cabin walls-a long way off. Ferret-like,
he was watching her, and saw his oppor-
tunity. How splendidly fate was playing
his way!
He rose to his feet and hobbled pain
fully to her, splendid hypocrite, mag
nifcent dissembler. He seized her hand
and held it in both his own. 1t was small
and soft, but strangely cold.
"Ma cherie-my dear child-what
makes you look like that? What has the
death of Francois Breault to do with you
you and JAM"
1t was the voice of friend, a brother,
low, sympathetic, filled just enough with
anxiety. Only last winter in just that
way, it had won the confidence and reused
the hope of Pierrot's wife, over on the
Athabasca. In the summer that followed
they hanged Pierrot. Gently Blake spoke
the words again. Marie's lips trembled.
Her great eyes were looking at him
straight into his soul, it seemed.

down with him accident
ally. His lips touched
her head. He laughed.
For a few moments he
was like a drunken man
in his new joy. Willingly
he would have gambled
his life on his chance of
winning. But confidence
displaced none of his cum
ming. He rubbed his hands
and said:
"Gawd, but won't it be
a surprise for Jan? | told
him that some day I'd
come. | told him!"
1t would be a tremen-
dous joke-this surprise he
had in store for Jan. He
chuckled over it again and
again as Marie went about
her work; and Marie's
face flushed and her eyes
were bright, and she
laughed softly at this great
love which Duval be-
trayed for her husband.
No; even the loss of his
dogs and his outfit
couldn't spoil his pleas
ure! Why should it? He
could get other dogs and
another outfit-but it had
been three years since he
had seen Jan Thoreau!
WHEN Marie had fin
w ished her work he put
his hand suddenly to his
eyes.
"Peste! but last nights

them, ma ch6rie. Will you
put it out, and sit down
near me, so that l can see
you as you talk, and tell
me all that has happened
to Jan Thoreau since that
winter three years ago?"
She put out the light,
and threw open the door
of the boX-stove. In the
dim freight she sat on a
stool beside Blake's cot.
Her faith in him was like
that of a child. She was
twenty-five. Blake was
fifteen years older. She
felt the immense superior
ity of his age.
This man, you must
understand, had been
more than a brother to Jan.
He had been a father. He
had risked his life. He

The chicken croquette is mongrel
mixture, miscalled food. 1t wears a
sawdust mask to hide its real identity.
Chicken croquette is just restau-
rant proprietor's excuse for using no
scraps he would otherwise throw away.
There's about as much chicken in it as
there is in a chunk of shilled steel. 1t
is glorified hash of the worst type.
1t sits around in cones, looking like
d Fouth of July snake. You know, the
kind you touch a match to and the
snake boils out
But don't ever try to boil anything
out of a. chicken croquette. The
chances are ten to one you'll produce
much worse things than snakes.
The chicken croquette is enough 10
make self-respecting hen ashamed Of
herself.
