his rifle and the bundles of fur. At dusk he
reached Lac Bierce, and found the wind too
strong for crossing
He fed the dogs then, and himself gnawed
on strip of frozen moose meat. Then after
half an hours rest he cursed the dogs to their
feet again and circled the lake to the trail
beyond. He knew now that he must keep on
without rest if he were to be home on time =
indeed if he were to reach home at ALL With
three more lakes to cross, and one treacher-
Gus portage, he would be all night and most
of the next day breaking trail

of scared wolf, and in it was the tremulous

Nanuk Lake for the first time: do you have
wolves up here, Jim? think can get over
being afraid of everything but them" Fear
clutched at his heart. The wolves this year
were lean and hungry, travelling far for food.
If the gray ghosts had not appeared at Nanuk
this winter it would be miracle.
That night was interminable The storm
ragged unabated, and he slogged along like
machine. The dogs kept up only because they
were afraid of being abandoned to the gray
marauders whose howls now were louder
PLEASE God" Jim muttered, his fists
cenched in his mittens, 'give her courage!'
At dawn he knew he could never make it -
not with the dogs. His legs were numb; great
Jumps of wet snow chung to his shoes and
made each step torture. And he had covered
so few miles in the night! Before him lay
Endless Lake, its warm springs creating
treacherous patches of mush ice, now hidden
under the white blanket
The light was too weak for seeing. The
snow had fallen too thick for the soft spots
to eat up through and reveal themselves.
Without warning the ice caved behind him,
as he broke trail just ahead of the dogs. His

winds bowling breath; next they were lost

For one panicky moment he thought of
the safety that lay in the last of his line

storm of the winter" he muttered, as the
wind whipped his back and the whimpering
dogs covered in their harness. Then: I've
got to get back" he said defiantly And to
the dogs: "You hear, Pete? You hear me,
Chuck? We've got to get back to her! She'll
be scared Up. now!'
1HE snow deepened swiftly underfoot.
Now the dogs were no help but hindrance,
foundering as the hard going sapped their
strength. He could do better without them,
but they perish if left, and 50 he broke trail,
slogging along in the teeth of the wind, head
drawn into the crouch of his shoulders.
Up the frozen Mink River he fought all
that afternoon, pausing only when the dogs
were too gone to pull the laden sled after him.
To tighten their burden he stripped the sled,
saving only food for the dogs and himself,

II Short Story Complete in This Issue

p ONG before dawn, Jim Travers was out
of his elder down, shivering in the bitter
- cold. The dogs were still bushed from
yesterdays grind, but his tongue-l -lashing
shook them up and it was still dark when he
reached his first cubby. a mile down river
from the camp.
my last chance" jim whispered, tight
Tipped. Eleven miles of trap line to cover.
If he were to be back at Nanuk Lake for
Maureen's birthday, he must make a start
for it and keep going without rest
There was nothing in the first four trap
houses. In the fifth he found a snowshoe
rabbit, worthless, and in the next a mink.
1t was not mink he wanted; at ten dollars
pelt, no man could make the money he must
make by dumping mink fur before the Hud-
sons Bay man.
1t was fisher, at fifty dollars, or silver fox
- these we're his need now, after six weeks
of luckless labor.
1t had been poor season. Plague had
killed off the rabbits and the fur bearers
had fled elsewhere in search OF food. Jim
Travers had used every vile of the veteran
trapper, yet his store of fur was lean. This
morning was his last hope.
His thoughts were six months old, sixty
miles south in Nikatuk, as he rode the sled
over the glittering snow crust His fears
and hopes were for the girl who had journeyed
north to be his wife Poor lass, she hadn't
known what that would mean!
How petite she had seemed, in contrast
to the trappers' wives and sturdy Indian
squaws in the settlement! How big eyed with
wonder and trepidation as she stood, his arm
around her, and gazed at the bare one-story
hotel, the supply store, the plain weathered
houses. Maureen in her Ottawa fnery, her
silk stockings, her picture-book hat, fear and
disiusionment in her eyes,
IT HAD been summer then, the poplars green
and the ground lush and soft. But with
November the log house he had built for her
on Nanuk Lake had become another world,
world of dogs and snowshoes, with winter
bowling promise of thirty-below-zero wealth
er, and the white silence creeping closer day
by day.
Jim IraverS had been AFRAID Tor her IN
all that loneliness, for during most of the
next two months she would be by herself in
frozen wilderness, trembling at the howl
of wolves, at the explosive cracking of big
trees back in the bush. Would she stick it
out? Could she? Some of the other mems
wives had not. That was why Medley Grimm
had wed an Indian girl, why old John Fulson's
boy, Paul. was building house for the swarthy
daughter of Iroquois Charlie Clee.
Jim drove his dogs relentlessly, sparing
no time to mend trap houses broken by the
weight of snow. The sky read storm, and
thinking of the long journey back to Nanuk
Lake he was suddenly panicky. Now was the
time to start. if he were to get there as he had
promised. This last desperate tour of his

trap line was foolhardy and dangerous.
But his fears we're with the wide-eyed girl
who in six short months had come to mean
more to him than life If he could lay fine
catch of fur before her, to bring pride into
those eyes, she might learn to love the North
Country as he did. If he could give her the
fine things she was used to. :.
Luck smiled. In the last cubby of all he
found Sleek prime fisher, and on the re-
turn trip, miraculously, he found another.
""Stil one more" he prayed. Just one more
please God!
One more. Half mile from the camp he
stilled the dogs with command and left the
sled standing At run he passed through
a muskeg and frozen tamarack slough, to
trap he had not visited in weeks. The heavy
sky bent under its weight of snow. and wind
numbed his lungs. He fell to his knees before
the cubby, his eyes wide with incredulity.
God be praised! A silver!"
The storm hit before Jim Travers had COW
