It was the same grim nunor that
had possessed him behind the rock,
when he had thought he was going
to die. Fate had played him a
dishonest turn then, and it was
doing the same thing by him now.
Unless he deliberately turned his
face away. he was going to see
the reunion of Marie-Anne and
st. Pierre.
Yesterday he had strapped his
binoculars to his bed. Today Ma
rie-Anne had looked through them
a dozen times. They had been
source of pleasure and thrill to
her. Now, David thought, they
would be good medicine for him.
He would see the whole thing
would leave himself no room for
doubt. He had laughed behind the
rock. when bullets were ripping
close to his head, and the same
grim smile came to his lips now
as he focused his glasses on the
solitary figure at the head Of tn
raft.
The smile died away when he
saw st. Pierre. 1t Nas as if he
could reach out and touch him
with his hand. And never. he
thought. had he seen such a
man. A moment before. a flash
ing vision had come to him from
out of an Arabian desert; the
multitude of colored tents, the
half-naked men, the great raft
floating almost without percep-
tible motion on the placid breast
OF the river had stirred his
imagination until he saw
strange picture.
But there was nothing Arabic,
nothing desert-like, in this man

few feet of his eyes. He was
more like viking pirate who had
roved the sea a few centuries
ago. One great. bare arm was
raised as David looked, and his
booming voice was rolling over
the river again. His hair was
shaggy, and untrimmed, and red;
he wore a short beard that glis-
tened in the sun-he was laugh
ing as he waved and shouted to
Marie-Anne-a joyous. splendid
giant of a man who seemed al
most on the point of leaping
into the water in his eagerness to
clasp in his naked arms the wo-

glisten of the sun in her hair.
She was waving her handker-
chief. and the poise of her slim
body told him that in her eager
ner she would have darted from
the bow of the boat had she DOS
sessed wings.
Again he looked at ST. Pierre
And this was the man who was
no match for Concombre Bateese!
1t was inconceivable. Yet he
heard Marie-Anne's voice repeat
ing those very words in his ear.
But she had surely been joking
with him. She had been storing
up this little surprise for him.
She had wanted him to discover
with his own eyes what a splen-
did man was this chief of the
Boulains. And yet. as David
stared, there came to him an un-
pleasant thought of the incon.
