Because love you'll" she whispered,
while Red padded hard for the
camp.
"Oh, my dear! My dear!" MUIR
INJURED Garry, shielding her body
with his own from the night air.
I've worried so-been half mad!"
1T was too terrible, there! They're
drinking and worried! I had to
threaten to shoot Blondell."
His arms frightened around her.
Mind? l love it, beautifully"
"You seem tot" she laughed up
at him. Then she called out to
Red whose thoughts were far away
at Matagami as he drove his long
paddle. "Not going to speak, Mr..
Malone?"
cts Red to you, Lise! If you
knew how glad am to have you
here! We've been pretty worried! I
want to say they don't come any
gamer than you'll"
Thanks, Red!'
Blaise stared open mouthed as
Garry led girl wearing his coat
over one-piece bathing suit up to
the fire.
"Blaise, this is Lise. We picked
her out of the lake, swimming to
the island"
"You swin-in de dark" de-
manded the astounded Brassard.
by gar, you are brave grill ITEMS!
She swim from Isadore's in dis black
night?"
Shortly the group of men smoking
by the fire burst into laughter. Stiff
in front of the tent with hand at
salute stood a mounted Policeman,
$50 you're Mounties? I've Won
dered what You really were. Jules
1sadore has been wondering, too.
He's pretty worried about it. Now
that I've fallen into the hands of the
police, what am I charged WITH"
she laughed.
"You are charged with the felony
OF soaring two policemen half to
death by swimming to this island,
young woman"
II had to-" For a space her face
was serious, then a smile broke
through as Finlay handed her a
steaming cup of tea.
The others left Lise and Garry by
the fire while she told him her story.
"Since Felix Blondell came it's
been hellish, Garry. They do moth
ing at night but drink and quarrel.
I've learned what l could from Co.
rhine. She's absolutely petrifed.
When Tete-Blanche returned, Jules
was mad with rage at what hap
pened. 1t seems Kinebik is dead.
Did you know that?"
Garry's arm frightened about her
waist. eyes, I know it,"
"Well, Tete-Blanche brought back
a lot of drunken young Indians to
hunt for you. Blondell is getting
scared. He wants to return south"
They're anxious about that plane
from the Bay. It's overdue. They
think, now, that that's what you came
here for-to get that plane. Corinne
asked Blonden if that was the plane
that carried the gold south and he
looked at her queerly and said:
Yes, it carries the gold. That's
what these people are here for, to
aighjack it, but we've got enough
men here to shoot them out of their
canoes if they try that Garry,
you're not going to try to take Isa-
aore-just you three, are you? He's
got lot of Indians over there and
le's desperate."
He drew her relocated shape
close and kissed the velvet eyes that
searched his bronzed face. Don't
worry about that, Lise. You don't
hink I'm going to risk losing you
when I've only just got you here
