Due to a great deal Of misinfor-
nation and unreliable writing, it
has become a custom with most
people to connect, invariably, the
word "dervish" with the word
dancing" They always talk about
dancing dervishes." imagining
a group of wildly whirling individ-
uals in some Moslem mosque. The
average person knows nothing about
the dervish except that he dances.
AS a matter of fact. writes w. L.
LANCER in the Globe Magazine, the
deryisheS who specialize in dancing
are in the minority. They are the
resident monks in the temples and
mosques. But even they confne
their tripping to the holiday occa-
sions.
The ordinary meaning Of the word
"dervish' is religious mendicant,
something on the style of the wan
dering pilgrims, monks and friars
Of the old Christian days.
In Persia dervishes are certainly
mendicants, but their religion does
not go beyond pious CALCULATIONS
and cursing of the infdel. Their
hair and boards are worn long, un-
kempt and flowing in the wind; they

"You decided to go in from the

knocking his pipe out on his moe

him, suddenly appeared at his moth

tested great interest in Heather.
Suspicious, he learned that his wife
had been seen in a car with Nc
Queen on the day she saw Heather.
They had joined forces to watch
his movements and it was evident
that if John McCord boarded the
supply ship of the Hudson's Bay
Company or Of the Revillon Freres,
bound for Chino and the River of
Skulls, he would find Mcqueen a
fellow passenger.
But he had no intention of going
to Chino and having his secret
shortly known to the world. The
strike was a bonanza. The short
working season Of one summer
would hardly touch the placer gold
in those sand-bars. So McCord de-
cided to avoid Fort Chino and at
tempt to establish a base some
where on the headwaters of the
great river, where they could renew
their supplies from the East Coast
of Hudson's Bay and pretend to
csrry on a trade with the Indians.

CHAPTER VII-COntinued

The following year the supply ship
OF the company brought Aleck
Drummond to Fort Chino. There
they warned him he would never
reach the mythical River of Skulls
and, if he did. he would starve be-
cause he couldn't hunt for gold and
caribou at the same time. And he'd
have to find the deer, or Starve. But
Aleck had reached the River of
Skulls and he had found gold, and
had not starved.

with anticipation of what was COM
ing.
Il do. If you'd known Aleck you'd
realize that he was one of the few
men who could have done it,
HE must have had a streak of
luck with the deer"
He did. And he had a streak Of
luck locating the River of Skulls.
1t looked at first" went on McCord,
''as if he wouldn't find the river. He
got into several, but finally followed
a trail of blue clay and rusty quartz
up a river and came to an alluvial
fat below a gorge. The river was
full of sand and gravel bars and he
dug out some skulls and bones. Then
ne went to work panning the bars
and struck it rich. Late in Septem-
Der, when the snow was falling and
the small lakes frozen, he worked
with his pan below that gorge, and
as luck would have it part of the
deer migration crossed below him.
So he shot meat for his trip to
Chino. But he didn't show at the
post the dust and nuggets he had
in his pack bags and he would not
admit he had found the river. An
accident to the ship which delayed
her return from Hudson's Bay saved
him from wintering at Chino and
ne reached Montreal. Then, before
he could find men with the back
bone to travel with him to this Riv-
er of Skulls and bring back a for
tune, the war broke out"
How much dust and nuggets did
ne manage to bring back with
him?" demanded the excited Cam
eron. The mystery surrounding
John McCord's presence on the
Talking River was clearing.

Eyes. You see he'd struck a regu-

nuggets out of those sand-bars. And

river had been washing that gold

as hundred miles above. for CEN

Alan refilled and lit his pipe.

Suddenly the husky raised his
head. his ears pointed and nostrns

The dog stalked on stiff legs to

the girl, standing in the middle of
the room listening. AT dusk she
had dropped the heavy cross slab
of birch which made the door Sc

reached the gun-rack, drew her 39
revolver from its holster and slipped
it into the hip pocket of her whip

Presently the husky flew into

the door. Roughl don't dare!
What's there, boy?"
Shortly. above the dogs growls,
rose a voice outside the cabin.
"Kekway! Kekwayl"
Heather froze where she stood
grasping her rife. Indians! 1t was
the Montagnais salutation to friends
or strangers. We're they McQueen'S
men? Did they know she was alone
with Rough? What should she do?
Again came the call:
''Kekway! 'allo!"
Then Heather got control Of her
nerves. These men had come in the
night to camp. By the law of the
north, from Labrador to Alaska,
they would be welcomed and fed,
if they were hungry. She must tie
Rough up, open the door and see
what they wanted.
Fairly dragging the reluctant
husky from the door, she secured
him to the spruce upright Of the
bunk with a heavy rawhide, then
lifted the cross bar and opened the
door, still holding her cooked rife.
Kekway!" she called as the faint
light from the single candle iuumi-
mated the doorway.
From the gloom of the clearing
came the reply: You tie husky?"
Yes, he's tied up! Who are your"
Heather demanded in the calmest
tones she could muster.
Hunter from Conjur' Riviere!"
came the reply in the unmistakable
voice Of an Indian. I'VE roll cano'

Water spoil flour"
Two blurred figures emerged from
the murk of the clearing to stand in
the doorway where the suspicious
girl nervously fingered the trigger
of her 30-30. Inside, the angry
Rough filed the room with his
snarls.
Where's your canoe your

story of a capsize in the rapids
above the camp.

The light from the door lit the
swart faces of the Montagnais as
they stared in amazement at the
tall, blonde haired girl in mems
breeches holding the rifle. She had
seen many Indians but there was
something in the mink-like eyes of
these men she did not like. From
the Conjuror River, they said. This
meant nothing to the girl whose
heart beat with apprehension. Why

Rug From Old Coat

HE directions for making the
