CHAPTER vi

There were only a few friends to
bid Alan and Noel good-by on the
beach at the Hudson's Bay Com
pany when they loaded their canoe
for the long trip to the headwaters
But, at the Revillon Freres, the en-
tire population watched Trudeau
and Goyette, McQueens helpers,
with two hired Montagnais canoe
men, stow the outfit in the two po-
lice canoes. Near them, Dessane
and Rivard talked to Mcqueen.
Slade and Mrs. Hanbury.
Shortly, the police and the woman
who had turned Fort George into a
hotbed of gossip withdrew from the
group and talked, heads together, in
low tones. Then, after hurried good
bys, the two boats headed for the
far shore where Alan, with his four
Ungavas running the beach, was
riding the food tide.
Later, in front of the Northern
Trading Company, sea-plane tax
led up the river, lifted, then in a
long loop returned and passed over
the police canoes.

down at him possessively. Now if

AS he watched her, hoping that,
in her brazen self-confdence, she
would carelessly say too much,
she suddenly placed both hands on
his shoulders, and gazed trium-
phantly down at him as if already
she had won. But he smiled in

Diet and Dental Disease

Various investigators have ad-
vocated different dietary formulas
for the control of dental decay.
There is a lack of agreement
among them as to which single
element is the most important in
constructing diet to prevent
carries.
But outstanding authorities hold
that each of the five following di-
etary factors has a controlling in
fiuence: vitamins A, C and D; an
adequate supply, in the correct
proportions, of the minerals, cal
cium and phosphorus; an excess
of alkaline or base-forming foods
over acid-forming foods; and a
generous allowance of raw foods,
with emphasis on those that leave
an alkaline-ash.

Dessane stood for a time with
knit brows, seemingly cropping deep
in his memory. Il recall, now, an
old Naskapi once told me about a
River of Skulls where there had
been a battle between the Huskies
and the Indians he answered.
"They exterminated each other.
And their spirits now moan in the
gorge near which the fight took
place. He said some of the bones
and skulls are still found along the
shore. But the Indians were afraid
of this moaning gorge, Manitou
Gorge, the Gorge of the Spirits, as
they called it, and most of them
avoided it.
WAS this river far in the interior,
south of Chimo?"
"Oh, yes, deep in the caribou bar
rens. He said it was a branch of the
Koksoak, but no white man has
ever been there. It's a country
where even the Indians starve when
they miss the deer migrations."
Alan bade the trader good-by,
then, braving the stony face of Ma
dame Dessane, went dejectedly to
say his farewell to Berthe. At the
door where once he had been well
come he was kept waiting by what,
judging from the sound, appeared to
be heated argument, punctured by
the shrill voice of his friend, little
Manon. At last the door was opened
by Berthe.
81 am leaving in a few days" he
said, probing her dark eyes in an
attempt to read her thoughts. 1--WE
come to say good-by, Berthe"
Come in, Alan" she said, with
a faint smile.
Berthe" he began, II can't go,
with you feeling this way! It's all
Rivard and this woman, I know.
You don't understand what she's up
to-"
II understand this much" the girl
retorted bitterly. "She was at your
house. She boasted to Madame Mar
tin, at the Northern Trading Com
pany, that she had twisted you
round her little finger" Berthe flung
back caustically, her black eyes
swapping as blood flushed her dark
face.
There were tears in his eyes as
he watched her wrestle with pride
and doubt and the loyalty Of years.
"Oh, it's not that! You're wrongl
It's not this woman!" she protested
ITS your suddenly going up the
coast when you'd been away-so
long! You went to see Neil Camp
bell You know you did! Everyone
believes it! It's that you went away
and did not tell me the truth. You
couldn't care so much for me and
do that. It's that I've lost faith in
you-that's ALL" With a sob and a
faint "Good-by. Alan!" Berthe ran
from the room.

the case convey any idea of the
seriousness of the situation. For
it is unfortunate that diseased
teeth and dental infections which
may result from unchecked de-
cay, seldom incapacitate the suf-
ferer. Thus the victim does not
become sufficiently alarmed to
take the steps necessary to arrest
the progress of the diseased con-
dition.
Yet a single decayed tooth
might be compared to a poison
factory, distributing its noxious
products to every part of the body,
and tooth decay may be indirectly
responsible for rheumatic all
ments, neuritis, dyspepsia or du-
Odenal ulcers. 1t may even be
contributing cause of heart trOu-

A Good Dentifrice Essential

The selection of a dentifrice is
most important because an agree
able dentifrice encourages thor
ough brushing-an efficient denti-
frice helps to float away minute
bits of food not reached by the
toothbrush.
1t is also advisable to use a
paste or powder which helps to
restore luster to teeth which have
been surface-stained by foods and
beverages.
The use of an antiseptic mouth
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-09-15

gums. There is strong evidence
that. this vitamin is essential to
the dentine, enamel, cementum
and the bone of the jaw. And
there are on record remarkable
experiments which demonstrate
that dental decay and gum dis
orders are both prevented and ar
rested when extra amounts of
foods containing vitamin G are in
cluded in a well-balanced diet.
Vitamin C is best obtained from
the citrus fruits, tomatoes and
raw leafy vegetables such as cab
bage.
Vitamin ID which we get from
the sun, from fish-liver oils and
concentrates, and from irradiated
foods and those fortified with vita
min ID concentrate, is necessary
for the proper utilization of the
calcium and phosphorus, which
must be generously supplied if the
teeth are to develop properly.
Importance OF Dental Hygiene
Thus carefully calculated diet,
beginning before birth and con-
tinuing throughout life, is neces-
sary to build teeth that are struc-
turally sound. But even the most
perfect teeth require constant
care to maintain their soundnesS.
Thorough brushing is necessary
after every meal to remove all
particles of food which remain be-
tween the crevices and cling near
the necks of the teeth. If not re-
moved, this debris may ferment,
giving rise to unpleasant odors
and creating acids which may at
tack the tooth enamel.
1t is important, however, that
the brushing be done correctly,
away from the gums and with a
slight rolling stroke, SO that the
bristles can penetrate between the
teeth. Never use a horizontal
stroke nor brush toward the gums.
This may irritate the tender It's
sues and may also force food par
ticles under the gums at the necks
| of the teeth.

Gabriel Dessane raised both arms

Alan smiled at the older mans

"She tried to get information the
night l was here and, three nights
ago, she came to my house and

"And what, Alan?" Gabriel Des-
sane was interested.
We'll, she may be a government
agent but"
Go on, Alan"
"She tried her best to make me
talk. l had nothing to say"
Dessane seemed disappointed. He
froWned at the distant hills across
the great river "She has been at
me to attempt to learn from you
if you met this McCord-and to find
out where. She is pretty woman,
yes-a pretty woman" he said with
a sigh. "She has made much trou-
BILE for me-"
Now about Rivard," demanded
Alan, immersed in his own problem.
You know how feel toward
Berthe. Do-do you object to my
hoping-that some day"
The older man placed his hand
kindly on Alan's shoulder.
There is much time yet, Alan.
You are both young-too young. You
have your way to make"
But Rivard, he's wasting no
time" Alan denlurred, vehemently.
Are you his friend or-mine?"
Des9ane's face sobered "Rivard

shrug. I'm poor mana hunter,

if she'll see me-"
You must not forget that you are
under a cloud here-the police may
make serious trouble for you. But
Berthe will see you. She is not hap
py. She does not know what to
think.
Alan started to move away, then
turned to the older man. "Oh, l
want to ask you a question. When
you were at Fort Chino did you
ever hear of the River of Skulls?"

Possibilities of Prevention

Yet there is little or no excuse
for the appalling amount of dental
decay that afflicts the American
people. For in recent years vast
amount of laboratory and clinical
research has been undertaken in
this field and there is impressive
evidence that dental carries, or de-
cay, may be completely controlled
by dietary means. Then, too, our
understanding of correct dental
hygiene has advanced tremen-
dously, and scientifically designed
tooth brushes and skillfully COM
pounded dentifrices are available
in every town and hamlet through
out the country.

Ottawa flashed her teeth, threw

also had some teeth to show. Calm

blood stained her face, he calmly
lit his pipe.

Suddenly recovering her poise she

"You blockhead!" she finally

She turned to find Rough standing

swelling in mufled growl.

= "All right"
Leaving Noel with the dogs, Alan
Joined Mcqueen and entered his
house. The policeman took the chair
Alan offered and leisurely filed and
lit his pipe, then asked abruptly,
When do we start up river?"
It was evident that Mcqueen in
tended to ignore the matter of the
race to Whale River, was satisfied,
as was most of Fort George, that
Alan had met McCord. For a space
the eyes of the youth met the others
In a fixed stare
Pm starting in about a week"
said Alan. Are your men strong
water men?"
Yes, they're good river men.
Slade and l were brought up in a
canoe"
Good thing for you. There's some
bad polling water on this river"
We'll, when you're ready to start,
let me know" said Mcqueen.
You'll be a month reaching the
three forks and you'll need three
months grub, for you might miss
the caribou" said Alan, hoping to
learn whether the police intended
to winter in the interior or to return
before the ice.
Three months?" laughed the 9TH
er, rising. Were travelling in two
canoes with -four for six months"
AS Alan watched Mcqueen walk
toward the Hudson's Bay store he
said aloud: mo, you won't get John
McCord. What a mess he'd make
of you and Slade if you ever met
him!"
Torn between pride and the desire
to see Berthe, Alan sat in his cabin
that evening when the afterglow had
faded from the sky and the rose
flush of the river surface had re-
treated before the purple dusk. But
few days remained now before his
start to meet John McCord and
Heather. When would he again see
Fort George and the girl who doubt
ed him?
Noel was visiting at Montagnais
tpi and Alan smoked, alone with
his plans. There had been a list of
things to be bought for Heather
through one of the Montagnais girls,
friend of Noel, to avoid suspi-
cion. And there was extra -four and
sugar, beans and tea, that McCord
wanted to cache somewhere before
they lunged into the unknown tun-
dra-a relief cache to which they
could retreat if the caribou failed.
Alan sat deep in thought when the
yelping puppies in the stockade
aroused Rough from his sleep. He
went to the door, listened, shifted.
then snarled.
Hello, therel Alan Cameron!
Please take care of your dog! l
want to see you!"
1t was the rich, throaty voice that
had argued with Alan the night be-
fore at the French Company S
trade-house. Alan's dark brows met
in a scowl but he sent Rough to
his corner and opened the door.
Good EVENING" Will you come
in?" ne said, wondering how soon
Rivard would reach Berthe with the
news that Mrs. Hanbury had been
at his house, and yet hoping, as
this woman was government
agent, to learn more of John and
Heather McCord.
Alan lit another candle and placed
chair for his caller She smiled
easily up at him while he leaned
against the door.
You're foolish young man, Mr..
Alan Cameron. Do you realize that
you've ruined your reputation al
Fort George?" Mrs. Hanbury
leaned forward, elbows on knees
chin cupped in her graceful, well
cared for hands, as she watched
Alan through her half-shut, haze
eyes. Not only that, but you're IL

nent.
