shortly to return to camp with her,
and having addressed it gave it to the

continued, shoulder your canoe and

like to see you start. I'll carry your
gun, and that sack of yours"
He took the half-breed's gun, picked
up the beans, and in single file they
marched through the wood back to
where the Indian sat patiently waiting.
On their appearance he looked round,
and as his eyes fell upon the half
breeds face momentary fash came
into them, and then as it passed he
continued to look at the newcomer
curiously.
Ainley rapidly explained the situa-
ton and the Indian listened without
comment. He waited until the half

earshot. and then he spoke
