A Prisoner!
Bateese had confirmed the
suspicion that he was a prisoner,
even though this mysterious pair
were bent on saving his life.
Why 1t was their desire to keep
life in him when only q few
hours ago one OF them had tried
to kin him was q question which
only the future could answer.
He did not bother himself with
that problem now. The present
was altogether too interesting
and there was but little doubt
that other developments equally
important were close at hand.
The attitude Of both Jeanne Marie.
Anne Boulain and her piratical4
looking henchman was sufficient
evidence of that. Bateese had
threatened to knock his head
off, and he could have sworn
that the girl-or woman-had
smiled her appreciation OF the
threat. Yet he held no grudge
against Bateese.
An odd sort OF liking for the
man began to possess him, just
as he found himself powerless to
resist an ingrowing admiration
for Marie-Anne. The existence af

For the first time since the
canoe journey had begun, he
looked beyond the darkIy glowing
head and the slender figure in
the bow. It was splendid night.
Ahead OF him the river was like
a ripping sheet OF molten silver.
On both sides, a quarter Of a
mile apart, rose the walls Of the

tapestries. The sky seemed near,

IN the few minutes following the

Yet as he looked at the slim

the soft sheen OF her partly I'M

were eighteen or thirty. It would
take the clear Hight of day to tell
him. But whether a girl or q
woman, she had handled him so
eleyerly that the unp1easantness
Of his earlier experience began to
give way slowly to an admiration
for her capability.
He wondered what the superin.
