But Alan smiled to himself as he
joined the others at the supper fire,
for he knew Noel would never over
come much of his Montagnais belief
in a spirit world.
Later that evening, leaving Noel
and the Naskapi squatted whisper
ing at the fire, Alan started with
Heather and her father up the river
shore. Ahead of them the four dogs
raced over the gravel, sand and
boulders of the lower shore.
"Where did they find the skulls,
Dad?" asked the girl. where was
the fight?"
'.Aleck said he ran into bones
and skulls for quite distance be-
low the gorge. You see they've been
buried deep in sand and gravel by
the high water and silt washed down
in the spring and the animals must
have carried away good deal"
whats the matter, Heather?
You feel spooky?" asked Alan.
"You look as If you'd seen q ghost
already"
She shrugged her shoulder in lit
tie SILVER as she looked upstream
at the opening Of the gorge where
the racing river burst from the
limestone and. granite walls which

hemmed it in. As they approached,
the sound of the unleashed water
made it difficult to converse and
they were forced to shout.
''It's easy to see how it got its
bad name," Alan called into the
girls ear, for the thunder Of the con-
fined water above them grew deaf
ening. {
She forced a faint smile in reply,
but instinctively moved closer to
the man until her elbow touched
his. This laundering water near
which SO many men had died
seemed to carry a menace-a threat
of evil. She looked back and no.

the pebbles and sand. Presently he
had something in his teeth-some-
thing rounded and thin and white,
like large shell.
Look, what's Rough got?" she
shouted to Alan.
Alan went to his dog, followed
by the girl, and took the thing
Rough held in his jaws. Heather
glanced at it and turned away.

cred frontal bone of human skull.

Alan reached and patted the shak-
ing Indian, who stood in front OF
him holding his pole. 1--WE will not
go to the Gorge of the Spirits, Ma
payo," he said in Montagnais. 1--WE
will camp below We will not let
the spirits harm you"
Before them, for mile or more,
stretched an alluvial fiat filled with
sand-bars where the river, leaving
he gorge above, suddenly widened
to flow slowly through a basin
fianked by sandy shores. Above and
beyond the shores extended wooded
terraces to lift at last into barren
hills.
Here it is, Alani" cried McCord
excitedly, ''just as Aleck described
It'll These sand-bars and gravel beds
have been washed down here for
centuriesl We're going to find gold
here, boy, gold!"
There's the spruce to build the
sluice boxes!" cried Alan, infected
with Johns excitement, pointing to
the wooded terraces.
Most of those bars can be free
panned without the trouble of ham
ding SO much gravel by sluicing.
That's where Aleck got most Of his
nuggets-big as cranberries!"

Cheyenne Gun Collection Spans Century;
Traces History of Most Modern Weapons

A collection Of guns which would
thrill the youngsters of the Indian
and cowboy" period or old-timer
who remembered the bad days. of
the old West is owned by Jesse
Hansen of Cheyenne, writes a
Cheyenne United Press correspond
ent in the Chicago Daily News.
This history of the modern gun is
traced in the collection. First came
the blunderbuss, then the percussion
cap and ball gun in which cap
was used instead of flint for igniting
the powder in the barrel. This cap
was placed over a projection un-
derneath the hammer with a small
hole in the projection carrying the
fire to the powder and discharg-
ing the gun.
The breech loading Maynard
came In 1855. II fired the shell with
q roll Of caps much on the order Of
the Fourth Of July caps used in
toy pistols. This gun was next in
line to the modern cartridge and
gum.
The oldest piece in Hansen's col
lection ID an 1887 pistol with . re-
volving cylinder Of six barrels irl-
stead Of the regulation cylinder
holding six cartridges and the one
barrel of today.

in those sand-bars! II we only get
back with i'll"
Napayo's black eyes shone with
hidden fear as he stared through his
mop Of hair at the distant narrowing
of the river where the stream left
the gorge and spread out over the
shallow bars. He was approaching
the Gorge of the Spirits, tabu among
his people for two generations. The
wrath of the spirits of the Naskapi
and the Eskimos whose bones lay on
these sandy shores would vent itself
on these white men and on the girl
with hair like the sun. But these
people were his friends-had saved
his life. With terror-filled eyes, he
took up his paddle and followed
the others up the slower water of
the wide fat.
So great was the evident distress
of the Naskapi, and so grave the
dark features of Noel, that, a half
mile below the foot of the gorge,
Alan turned in to the gravelly shore.
On the first timbered terrace above
the river, they made camp in the
spruce. After supper he took the
Naskapi and Noel aside for a talk
while John McCord padded the ca
noe among the sand-bars examin-
ing with his prospector's eyes the
nature Of the alluvial deposit
brought down by the river.
Alan impressed upon the two In
dams the fact that the Naskapi who
had brought gold nuggets to Chino
had escaped the bad medicine of
the spirits because they had not
gone near the gorge. Napayo would
not be asked to 60 near the gorge.
He would hunt caribou, spear sal
mon and make snowshoes and cloth
ing. They would camp where they
were safe from the danger of the
demons.
Napayo seemed somewhat re-
lieved, then Alan put an arm over
Noeps shoulder, led him to one side
and talked to him as a brother. The
moaning in the gorge, he ex-
planned, was nothing but the con-
fused sound of the wind and of bro
ken water. The Talking River had
been named because Of the same
peculiar sounds in the little canyon
Noel knew and was not afraid to
pass. And he was familiar with the
Singing Rapids on the Great Whale,
the famous Wailing Water Of the
East Main and the Whispering Hills
over on the Conjuror. All named
because of sounds made by wind or
uafer or both This 0orge here

at that point abandon all further

themselves with maintaining the
blockade that they have established.
Major Effort Is Over.
Whether or not the Polish govern
ment and army actually surrender
in the near future, the major Ger
man effort in Poland is now over,
in the opinion of military observers,
and there is little reason why the
Nazis should not be able to begin
transferring their best troops from
the Polish front to Western Ger
many to face the French and
British.
Even were the Germans and Rus
slams to abandon their Polish Of
fensive today, withdrawing all but
sufficient troops to dig in and hold
their present lines. it is doubtful
whether Poland could last through
the winter without prospect of out
side relief, it is believed.
Most of the So-called Polish Tri-
angle" the heart of industrial Po-
land, with its base on the Carpath-
ians, today is in German hands, to-
gether with the rich plains between
Warsaw and Poznan, which have
been through the ages regarded as

Poland and Rumania, and the Rus
slams advancing past Tarnopol, an
important center in the Polish
Ukraine.
German bombing and attack air
planes were reported in action to-
lay along the Rumanian border area,
preparing the way for immediate ad-
vances which will bring the Nazi
troops into their first contact with
the Reds of Soviet Russia, now to
all intents and purposes their mill
tary allies.
Should Germany and Russia have
designs on Rumania their present
conquest in Southeastern Poland will
provide them with the necessary
"springboard" for an advance into
Bessarabia, the fertile northern sec
ton of the Rumanian Plain, which
formerly was Russian territory.
A German-RuSSian advance into
Rumania, along the foothills of the
Carpatho- Ukraine, would put the
Germans in possession of oil fields
which are vitally necessary to the
continued operation of their mech
anized armies and air force. 1t would
at the same time put them in posi-
ton directly to threaten the now
neutral Balkan neighbors of Ru-
mania and Hungary.
