Close to the deep, dark pool in
which he and the Willow had dsport-
80 often, Baree, too, had stopped. He
could hear the ripping of water, and
his eyes shone with cleaning fire
as he quested for Nepeese. He expect
ed to see her there, her slim white
body shimmering in some dark shadow
of overhanging spruce, or cleaning
suddenly white as snow in one Of the
warm FLASHES of sunlight. His eyes
sought out their old hiding places; the
great split rock on the other side, the
shelving banks under which they
used to dive like otter, the spruce
boughs that dipped down to the. sur
face, and In the midst Of which the
Willow loved to screen her naked body
while he searched the pool for her.
And at last the realization was borne
upon him that she was not there, that
he had still farther to go.
He went on to the tepee. The little
open space in which they had built
their hidden wigwam was flooded with
sunshine that came through a break
In the forest to the west. The tepee
was still there. 1t did not seem very
much changed to Baree. And rising
from the ground In front Of the tepee
was what had come to him family on
the still air-the smoke. Of small fire.
Over that fire was bending a person,
and 1t did not strike BARGE as amaz-
ing, or at all unexpected, that this per-
son should have two great shining
braids down her back. He whined,
little rigid. and turned slowly.
Even then 1t seemed quite the most
natural thing in the world that 1t
should be Nepeese, and none other
He had lost her yesterday. Today he
had found her. And In answer to his
whine there came a sobbing cry
straight out Of the soul of the Willow.
Carvel found them there few min
utes later, the dogs head Rugged close
; up against the willows breast. and
luthe Willow was crying crying like a
flittle child, her face hidden from him
on Baree's neck. He did.not interrupt
them, but waited; and as he waited
something in the sobbing voice and the
stiffness of the forest seemed to whis-
per to him bit Of the story Of the
burned cabin and the two graves, and
the meaning of the Call that had
come to Baree from out of the south.

world for the Willow, and in the
flames he could see faithful old Tuboa
as he called on his last strength to
bear Nepeese over the long miles that
lay between the chasm and his cabin ;
he caught shifting visions of the
weeks that followed In that cabin,
weeks Of hunger and of intense cold
in which the Willows life hung by
single thread. And at last, when the
SHOWS were deepest, Tuboa had died.
Carvel's fingers clenched In the strands
Of the Willows braid. A deep breath
rose out of his chest, and he said, star
ing deep into the fire:
Tomorrow will go to Lac Balm"
For moment Nepeese did not an
swer. She, too, was looking into the
fire. Then she said:
"Tuboa meant to kill him when the
spring came, and he could travel.
When Tuboa died knew that It was
who must kill him. So came, with
Tuboa's gun. II was fresh loaded
yesterday. And-M'sieu Jeem'-she
looked up at him, a triumphant glow
in her eyes as she added In a whis-
per-"You will not go to Lac Balm. I
have sent messenger"
"A messenger"
Yes, Ookimow Jeem--a messenger.
Two days ago. sent word that had
not died. but was here-waiting for him
and that would be Iskwao now, his
wife. Oo-oo, he will come, Ookimaw
Jennie will come fast. And you
shall not kill him. Nom" She smiled
into his face, and the throb Of Car
vel's heart was like a dream. 1.-THE
gun Is loaded" she said softly. II
will shoot"
1.-TWO days ago." said Carvel. "And
from Lac Balm 1t is"
He will be here tomorrow" Ne
peese answered him. Tomorrow, as
the sun goes down, he will enter the
clearing. I know. My blood has been
singing 1t all day. Tomorrow-tomor-
row-for he will travel fast, Ookimow
Jeem. Yes, he will come fast"
Carvel had bent his head. The soft
tresses gripped In his fingers were
crushed to his lips. The Willow, look
ing again into the fire. did not see.
But she felt-and her soul was beat
ing like the wings of bird.
"Ookimow Jeem," she whispered-a
breath, flutter of the lips so soft that
Carvel heard no sound
II old Tuboa had been there that
night It is possible he would have read
strange warnings in the winds that
whispered now and then softly in the

tree-tops. It was such a night; a
night when the Red Gods whisper
among themselves, carnival Of glory
in which even the dipping shadows
and the high stars seemed to culver
with the life of potent language. 1t
Ia barely possible that old Tuboa, with
his ninety years behind him, would
have learned something. or that at
least he would have suspected thing
which Carvel in his youth and conf
dence did not see Tomorrow-he will
come tomorrow The Willow, exult-
ant, had said that. But to old Tnboa
the trees might have whispered, why
not tonight?
1t was midnight when the big moon
stood full above the little open in the
forest. In the tepee the Willow was
sleeping. In the balsam shadow back
from the fire slept Baree, and still
farther back in the edge Of spruce
thicket slept Carvel. Dog and man
were tired. They had Travelled far and
fast that day. and they heard no
sound.
But they had travelled neither so far
nor so fast as Bush McTaggart. Be-
tween sunrise and midnight he had
come forty miles when he strobe out
into the clearing where Pierrot's
cabin had stood. Twice from the edge
of the forest he had called; and now,
when he found no answer, he stood
under the light Of the moon and lis
tened. Nepeese was to be here
waiting. He was tired, but exhaustion
could not still the fire that burned in
his blood It had been blazing all
day, and now-so near its realization
and its triumph-the old passion was
like drunkening wine in his veins.
Some where, near where he stood, Ne
peese was waiting for him, waiting for
him. Once again he called, his heart
beating In a fierce anticipation as he
listened. There was no answer. And
then for thrilling instant his breath
stopped. He shifted the air-and there
came to him family the smell of
smoke.
With the first instinct of the forest
man he fronted the wind that was but
faint breath under the starlit skies.
He did not call again, but FASTENED
across the clearing. Nepeese was OFF

Chapter XVII

That night there was new camp
fire in the open. 1t was not small
flre, built with the fear that other eyes
might see It, hut fire that sent its
flames, high. In the glow Of It stood
Carvel. And as the fire had changed
from that small smoldering heap over
which the Willow had cooked dinner,
so Carvel, the officially dead outlaw,
had changed. The beard was gone
from his face; he had thrown off his
caribou-skin coat: his sleeves were
rolled up to the elbows, and there was
a wild flush in his face that was not
altogether the tanning of wind and
sun and storm. and glow in his eyes
that had not been there for Ave years,
perhaps never before. His eyes were
on Nepeese. She sat in the freight,
leaning little toward the blaze, her
wonderful hair glowing warmly IN the
flash of it. Carvel did not move while
she was in that attitude. He seemed
scarcely to breathe. The glow in his
ewes grew deeper-the worship Of a
man for a woman. Suddenly Nepeese
turned and caught him before he could
turn his gaze. There was nothing to
hide In her own eyes. Like her face,
they were flushed with new hope
and a new gladness. Carvel sat down
beside her on the birch log. and In his
hand he took one Of her thick braids
and crumpled it as he talked. At their
feet, watching them. lay Baree-

and bitter note back Of the gentle wor-
shin of his voice. II will not come

The Willow looked straight into the
FIRE. For a time there was silence
broken only by the cracking of the
flames. and in that silence Carvel's
fingers weaved in and out of the silken
strands of the Willows hair. His
thoughts flashed back. What a chance
he had missed that day on Bush Nc

hunt In part of his domain. He felt
