Denny was feeling unusually
buoyant as she and Revelry
Bourne rode up past River House
to the top of the hill and turned
south toward Lopewater. She at
tributed her mood to the perfec-

After a brief dash they drew in

a pugnacious little thing you are!
he said, smiling. "But-consider
this, little dark child-the Chinese
fire their muskets and beat their
drums and make a devil OF a
noise to scare away the enemy;
vet no campaign was ever won
by noise and wasted effort before
the battle was joined"
His apparent parrying Of the
question made Denny angry. He
was treating her as If she were a
child, a person of no consequence.
Opinions differ with regard to
those efforts that are to be classl-
fed as wasted" She tried to
speak calmly, impersonally, but
her next words broke from her,
edged with the scorn she felt for
him. "Oh, what's the use OF
beating about the bush any long

about, Revelry Bourne! Ever

impulSively, I'm glad you went

ANY man will fight if he ha
ANY man will fight if he has

casually. Or if he has a thing

Denny thought, "A thing worth

I can't understand about you.
Surely River House is worth

can you drift along as you are do

the issue had again trapped her
into an outburst.
After a considering silence his
reply came quietly, unsmillingly.
Il concede to my opponent his
choice of arms and methods, De-
Mise, and reserve the same for
myself" A faint hardness crept
into his voice. But there are
some weapons and some methods
I scorn to use. I will not play the
sedulous ape to any woman in Or
der to gain a fancied advantage" +"
She felt as if he had thrust her
away with a warning not to in
trude on his affairs. Thrust her
away, when her only thought was
to help him. Hurt, frustrated, she
stood staring at his suddenly cold
face with rising antagonism. She
longed for the ability to dismiss
the matter coolly with few
stinging words that would score
his self-sufficiency. But none
came. Her only recourse was to
clothe herself in reserve. She
lowered her gaze to his feet, then
allowed her eyes to travel with
slow insolence back to this face.

friendliness that took for giant

ry of the wild. She felt an un-

They had gone some distance
without meeting any one when
suddenly a crimson calicoed little

half in earnest. was saying, I'm

shadowing me, Captain. No mat

watching me. A ridiculous notion
on my part, no doubt, since there
is no reason why she should be in

Bourne gave her quick. un-
readable look that stayed in her
mind. and without answering,
changed the subject.
She suspected that he had ask
ed her to ride today so that he
might discuss the purchase OF Rlv-
er House without the presence of
Jack Page. who always managed
10 call whenever Bourne came to
see her. Instead. he talked about
the beauty of the river in spring,
when the saskatoonS were white
with blossoms. Unlike Page, he ap-
peared to have no concern with
business when he was riding with
her.
And that. she impatiently told
herself after a while, was pre-
ciSely the trouble with the man.
He should be concerned, and SER
iouSly. with maintaining his SUI
premacy on the Stikine. Was he
really blind to the Importance Of
securing River House?
These thoughts were obScuring
her pleasant mood when they
branched off the main road and
headed down a trail toward the
river. They came out of the birch

out in an all-embracing gesture

Nearby on the bank a log nut
partially concealed in the alders
was sending up a thin spiral OF
smoke. My Indian caretakers are

Bourne. DO you mind if we dis
mount for few minutes? I'd like
! to speak to them.
They left their horses ana were
following a path through the al
ders when Denny noticed a small
grave beside the trail. In the
wooden head-board was a crudely
carved inscription.

Bourne, stopping to clear some

Then he added, I've had a good

like Barney"
What happened to him, Cap
tain?"
Poisoned. A trapper who'd
had a disagreement with my faith
er fed him strychnine."
oh! Of course your father
punished him?"
NO. But I did. I suppose the
fellow is really responsible in a
way for my physical training. l
was ten years old at the time he
killed my dog, but still remember
the day 1 went up to River House
and asked Larry Keith if ne would
teach me to box and to use the
foilS. Your father was good at
both. / didn't tell him, however,
what I had in my mind.
And did he. take you on?"
Bourne nodded. He rigged up
sort of a gymnasium Tor me in the
storeroom upstairs. We went at
it nearly every day-,for was an
earnest kid. BY the time I was
fifteen, l was pretty husky and
nearly as tall as am now. Thanks
to Larry'S training, I was quick
on my feet and had all the self
confidence of worlds champion.
I'd kept track of the trapper and
knew he was running trapline
up on Dease Lake. So without
my intentions to my

We'll we fought it out in the
snow in front of his cabin. A
foolish piece of business for me,
as he outweighed me by thirty
pounds. But with plenty of room
for footwork, I managed to wear
him down. Finally, by a lucky
glow, I knocked him out. 1t was

back into the house. But made

CHAPTER Xxx

That evening both Captain
Bourne and Captain Page came &c
call at River House. Denny SI-
ting with them in the living room
feIt q sense of relief. because there
was no need to watch and listen
tonight: no need to measure one
man against the other with the
idea of selecting the future mas
fer of River House. The tavoraole
impression Page had made IN me
afternoon remained with her.
But when the evening was near
" over. there occurred q trivial
altoeether ridiculous incident that
again set her to temporlzlng.
She was showing some snap
shots that had come in the day S
mail-pictures of Murray and mu-
tnal friends taken on a yachting
trip I'D the Sacramento River.
Page glanced at them casually
with the remark that Denny'S tu-
ture husband seemed to be a jolly
good egg and handed them over
TO Bourne. While the latter sat
studying each antic pose OF the
gay Murray with what Denny call
ed his white water look, Page
crossed the room and seated him
self at the old piano with the
shamrocks carved on its legs. He
showed the cover back from the
yellow keys. planted foot on
the loud pedal, and began thump-
inc out the latest rhumba. 1t came
from the instrument in thin.
spine-like tones Of anguiShed pro-
test.
The performance was offensive
to Denny'S sense of the fitness Of
things and at the same time 1t
made her want to laugh. At the
finish. when Page whirled COM
placently about on the stool.
Bourne looked up from the snap
shots.
You've achieved the impossible,
Jack. he said. with an ironiC grin.
A rendition at once Confoundly
comic. and decidedly SacrilegiouS. "
Denny didn't want to notice
that there was nothing of famil-
iarity or proprietorShip in Revelry
Bourne'S manner. as he sat in this
room ne had known since child
hood. She didn't want to admit
that he looked as if he belonged
there. She told herself there was
absolutely nothing in the incident
that should incline her toward
Bourne. who had IN perSiStently
ignored her possibilities as a COM
panion. Yet. later on. when Page
was in the card room looking at
a map of the hunting grounds,
Denny accepted the first invita-
ton Bourne had so far rendered
her.
She promised to ride with him
down to Lonewater the next af-
ternoOn.
