I told him to go home that wanted moth

by writing him q letter and telling him l

You never make a mistake right
ing a wrong, apologizing when you
are at fault. Only the persons OF
silly, futile pride refuse to make
amends. So write and tell him you
are sorry. You were very much in
the wrong to break promise that
you had made on faith. But in the
first place you were wrong to make
such a promise. You are not en-
gagged to the young man, and there
was no reason for your not having
other young men friends. Why did
you make such a promise in the
first place? Never make promise
you can't or won't keep.

He sees what is being done

wants to make things instead of

Now! If those who are men.

pleasantly occupied, why isn't
that method doubly effective in
checking similar tendencies or in
keeping children well-mentally
and morally?
AS a matter Of fact. it is the
best treatment in the world for
what ails them. Pleasant work
that has some aim and object
gives a child real satisfaction,
promotes his mental growth and
crowds out mischievous impulses
or evil thoughts.
Parents who have sympathy
and tact and common sense can
find ways and means of inspir-
ing children to give their best

praise, some special privilege and
an expression Of appreciation are
easy to give.

against another. A dog howled.
The flat of an oar played a tattoo
for a moment on the bottom Of a
boat. Then one last yell from a
single throat--and the night was
silent again.
And that was the Boulain Bril-
gade-singing at this hour of the
night, when men should have
been sleeping If they expected to
be up with the sun. Carrigan
stared ahead. Shortly his adven.
ture would take a new twist.
Something was bound to happen
when they got ashore. The pc
culiar glow OF the fires had puz-
zled him. Now he began 10 under
stand. Jeanne Marie-Anne Bou-
lain's men were camped in the
edge OF the tar-sands and mad
lighted a number of natural gas
jets that came up out Of the
earth. Many times he had seen
fires like these burning up and
down the Three Rivers. He had
lighted fires of his own; he had
cooked over them and had alter

seen anything quite like this that
was unfolding itself before his
eyes now.

scow.
Toward this scow Bateese sent
the canoe. And as they drew
nearer, until the laboring men
ashore were scarcely a stones
throw away, the weirdnesS Of
the scene impressed itself more
upon Carrigan. Never had he
seen such a crew. There were
no Indians among them. 1.-the,
quick-moving, bare-headed, their
naked arms and shoulders gleanl-
ing in the ghostly illumination,
they were racing against time
with the boiling tar and pitch In
the cauldron.
They did not see the approach
Of the canoe, and Bateese did not
draw their attention to it. Quietly
he drove the birchbark under the
shadow of the big bateau. Hands
were waiting to seize and steady
1t. Carrigan caught but glimpse
Of the faces. In another instant
the girl was aboard the scow and
Bateese was bendinv over him.
A second time he was picked up
like child in the chimpanzee-
like arms of the half.breed. The
moonlight showed him scow
bigger than he had ever seen on
the upper river, and two-thirds
of it seemed to be cabin. Into
this cabin Bateese carried him.

CHAPTER s

-.- CHAPTER s
For the first time Carrigan
turned and faced Bateese. The
halfbreed was grinning like a
Cheshire cat!
You're a confoundediy queer
pairn grunted Carrigan, and he
turned about again to find
Jeanne .Marie-Anne Boulain as
tnconcerned as though running
the Holy Ghost Rapids in the
glow OF the moon was nothing
more than q matter Of play.
1t was impossible for him to
keep his heart from beating
little faster as he watched her,
even though he was trying to
regard her in a most Professional
aort Of way. He reminded him.
eeIf that she was an iniquitous
little Jezebel who had almost
murdered him. Carmin Fanchet
had been like her, an anne damnee
"a. fallen angel-but his business
was not sympathy in such Mat
ters as these.
At the same time he could not
resist the lure of both her au-
dacity AMI her courage. and he
found himself all at once ask
ing himself the amazing question
as to what her relationship might
be to BateeSe.
It occurred to him rather un-
pleasantly that there had been
something distinctly proprietary
in the way the half-breed nad
picked her up on the sand, and
that Bateeee hal shown no hesi-

way in his head, relieving him
of an oppression that had been
like an iron hoop drawn tightly
about his skull. He did not want
BateeSe to suspect this change In
him, and he slouched lower
against the dunnage-paek with
his eyes stiIl on the girl.
A Hard Task

difficult to keep from looking at
her. She had resumed her pad

. canoe shot like an arrow with the
down-sweeping current OF the
river.
A few hundred yards below was
a TWIST in the channel, and as
the canoe rounded this. taking
the shoreward curve with dizzy
ing swiftness, wide, still
straight-water lay ahead. And
far down this Carrigan saw the
glow of fires.
The forest had drawn back
from the river. leaving in its
place a broken tundra of rock
and shale and a wide strip Of
black sand along the edge of the
stream itself. Carrigan knew
what it was-an upheaval OF the
tar-sand country so common still
farther north. the beginning OF
that treasure Of the earth which
would some day make the top Of
the American continent one of the
EIdoradoes of the world. The
fires drew nearer, and suddenly
the still night was broken by the
wild chanting of men. David
heard behind him a choking note
in the throat of Bateese. A soft
word came from the lips of the
girl, and it seemed to Carrigan
that her head was held higher in
the moon glow.
The chant increased in volume,
a rhythmic. throbbing, savage
music that for a hundred and
fifty years had come from the
throats of men along the Three
Rivers. It thrilled Carrigan as
they bore down upon it. It was
not song as civilization would
have counted song. 1t was like
an explosion, an exultation Of
human voice unclaimed, ebullient
with the love OF life, savage in
its good humor.
Song of the River 4
It was le gate de occur of the
rivermen, who thought and sang
as their forefathers did in the
days of Radisson and good Prince
Rupert; 1t was their merriment.
their exhilaration, their freedom
and optimism, reaching up to the
farthest stars. In that song men
were straining their vocal muscles,
shouting to beat out their nearest
neighbor, believing like bulls in
a frenzy Of sudden fun.
And then, as suddenly as 1t had
risen in the night, the clamor CT
voices died away. A single shout
came up the river. Carrigan
thought he heard a low rumble OF
laughter. A tin pan banged

recall came to Carrigan-the great
bear-the fighting wolves--the
crest of st. Pierre Boulain!
He took a quick step toward
the table-then caught at the
back Of chair. .Confound his
head! Or was it the big bateau
rocking under his feet? The cat
seemed to be turning round in its
basket. There were half dozen
banners instead of one; the lamp
was shaking in its bracket; the
floor was fitting. everything was
becoming hideously contorted and
out OF place.
A shroud of darkness gathered
about him, and through that dark
ness Carrigan staggered blindly
toward the divan. He reached

a cot built against the wall. He
made no sound, but let himself
fall Imply upon 1t. He listened
to Batese as he moved about, and
closed his eyes when Bateese
struck a match. A moment later
he heard the door of the cabin
close behind the half-breed. Not
until then did he open his eyes
and sit up.
All Alone
He was alone. And what he
saw in the next few moments
drew an exclamation of amazement
from him. Never had he seen q
cabin like this on the Three
Rivers. 1t was 80 feet long II
an inch, and at least eight feet
wide. The walls and ceiling
were polished cedar; the floor was
of cedar closely matched. It was
the exquisite finish and crafts
manship Of the woodwork that
caught his eyes first.
Then his astonished senses
seized upon the other things.
Under his feet was a soft rug of
dark green velvet. Two magnifi.
cent white bearskins lay between
him and the end of the room. The
walls were hung with pictures,
and at the four windows were cur
tains Of ivory lace draped with
darnask.
The lamp which Bateese had
lighted was fastened to the wall
close to him. 1t was of polished
silver and threw a brilliant light

them he very soon made out
great hustle and activity. Many
figures were moving about. They
looked like dwarfs at first,
gnomes at play in a little world
made out of witchcraft. But
Bateese was sending the canoe
nearer with powerful strokes,
and the figures grew taller, and
the spouts of flame higher. Then
he knew what was happening.
The Boulain men were taking
advantage OF the cool hours of
the night and were tarring up.
The WOrIxInen
He could smell the tar. and he
could see the big York boats
drawn up in the circle Of yellow
ish light. There were half :;
dozen of them, and men stripped
to the waist were smearing the
bottoms of the boats with boiling
tar and pitch. In the center was
a big, black cauldron steaming
over a gas-jet, and between this
cauldron and the boats men were
running back and forth with
pals. Still nearer to the huge
kettle other men were filling a
row Of kegs with the precious
black goudron that oozed up from
the bowels of the earth, forming
here and there jet-black pools
that Carrigan could see glisten-
ing in the flare of the gas-lamps.
He figured there were thirty
men at work. Six big York boats

softened by a shade of old gold.
There were three other lamps like
this, unlighted. The far end Of the
room was in deep shadow, but
Carrigan made out the thing he
was staring at-a piano.
He rose to his feet. disbeliev.ng
his eyes. and made his way to-
ward it.
He passed between chairs. Near
the piano was another door, and
a wide divan Of the same soft,
green upholstery. Looking hack,
he saw that what he had been ly-
ing upon was another divan, And
close to this were book shelves,
and table on which were maga-
zines and papers and a woman's
work basket, and in the work
basket-sound asleep-a cat!
