CHAPTER ELEVEN

In gesture Of spontaneous wei
come, Ma held out both hands. "My
dear" she said. There was no mis-
falling the soft friendliness Of her
voice, but, as if regretting that
suspicion Of sentiment, she turned
on Selkirk. $50 this is the girl you
kept in picture on your desk? You
should have brought the original up
here twenty years ago"
Selkirk colored. Twenty years
ago Trina was reading fairy tales"
"And now she's listening to
yours" Mas tone was heavily
ironic, but Colin thought he saw a
look Of relief on Selkirk's face
relief and perhaps gratitude that
Ma was treating his engagement as
nothing more than commonplace
behavior.
And in that moment Colin seemed
10 see Selkirk more clearly, without
the blurred acceptance Of lifelong
friendship. Standing beside that
vivid girl, Selkirk's white hair. his
ninety CHlStlSu ltdIuItS anu SlOsc-
cropped gray mustache became
bleached and colorless. Only his
dark eyes-keenly sensitive and OBJ
servant-saved his face from cold
ness. And suddenly Colin realized
that those dark eyes betrayed a man
hungry for love yet afraid to seek it.
That explained Selkirk's difidence
the remoteness that kept most
men at a distance but aroused Mas
maternal protectiveness. 1t ex-
planned, too, the half-fearful adora-
ton that suffused Selkirk's face as
he smiled at the girl beside him.
But Ma was looking at Colin. ais

From the hall he looked back.
Trina was gazing into the fire again,
absent and dreaming: then just for
an instant she raised her head and
their eyes met. Pickering freight
touched to soft copper the trans
lucence Of her skin and FURNISHED
the vari-colored hair, while she
smiled at him very slowly. Some
thing-either the smile or the eyes,
or both-spoke to him, intimately,
briefly, then she turned back to the
fire. Like a man awakening from
reverie Colin opened the door.
In something less than two hours,
Colin covered the seven miles Of
trail between the inn and his cabin,
to find that, with Alec's help, Blair
had already dismantled the broken
pontoon. BY midafternoon they
bolted a new one into place and
filed the tanks with gas; then, tired
and grimy, went up TO the cabin.
"What now" Colin asked. do
you fly back to Learmonth -
Blair was washing the oil from
her hands as she glanced guilty up
at him.
Colin laughed. "That look tells
me you're cooking up something"
81 am. Want TO do something to
please me!"
Anything in the world"

RAe's smile vanished. He remem-
bered his last meeting with Nate
Tenant, and the black anger in the
hearts of both.
But Blair's eyes were pleading.
eve can be there in ten minutes.
l want you to be friends again."
"For my sake--or Nate's?"
She colored. "For both your
sakes. Colin, don't be such an old
rock. It's so much more comfort
able TO like people than to hate
them. Besides, have = special
reason"
81 know. The reason is you're IN
love with Nate" Almost as soon rs
he spoke he regretted the words.
Her cheeks famed bright, and
angrily she flung back, leave me
out of it. Isn't it enough that | don't
want Nate to do anything foolish?
He's still bitter against the COM
pany and against you. Colin, won't
you-for me-patch up the old
feud! You're both very important
people in my life. Let's fly over and
see him-please. He used to think
you were just about the best Of
everything. You can afford TO make
the first step"
For. a second he hesitated, then
raised both his hands in token Of
surrender. "Pm putty" Colin said.
Gust putty in your fngers!"
She pressed her cheek against his
arm. 81 love you for being putty
once in a blue moon. And you'll be
glad, too"
But Collins eyes we've still skepti-
cal when they TAXED out from shore.
The lake, under clear skies,
seemed much wider than when they
landed, and they took off without
difficulty, looming up over the
spruce-fringed banks and bearing
north.
For Ave minutes Blair followed
an ice-fringed stream, then, bank
ing steeply, glided down toward a
narrow arm Of water where Colin
saw . newly built cabin, q small
dock Of freshly cut saplings, and q
canoe. Along the path a tall figure
was huprying toward the dock, and
curiously Colin watched him
through the window. A huge man,
taller even than Rae, with great
powerful shoulders and a body that
sloped like a wedge from the deep
chest down TO the moccasined feet
II was strange to be looking again
at one who had meant so much To
all his yesterdays. Through boy
hood they had been inseparable. In
school Tenant had developed into

one of Canada's greatest athletesi
a natural leader Of men, aggressive
and utterly without fear, he might
have gone far in provincial politics
or become one Of the masters Of the
fur trade, but something happened
Colin never knew what. 1t might
only have been Tenants inability
TO work in harness or to take orders.
Later Nate had come back to
Learmonth to trap and prospect for
gold and, with growing success,
employed q dozen trappers TO run
his trap lines.
And now, as Blair glided lower.
old memories came crowding back
to Colin He remembered Deem
Der night three years ago. when he
and Tenant had headed across the
lake in the years worst blizzard to
rescue the stranded passengers of q
grounded plane. II had taken two
days to reach them, and almost as
long TO get back, and without Nate
Tenants endurance they might
never have succeeded.
That was the last year the two
men had been friends. The fare-up
came the following spring, and for
the first time since then Colin
found himself looking out at Nate
as Blair TAXED in toward the dock.
Yes, the same Nate Tenant. The
strong, tanned face, full curving
underlip, wide-set eyes, and heavy
black brows. The plaid mackinaw
shirt, open at the neck, disclosed .
mat of small black curling hairs,
and across his wrists and the back
Of his hands fine hair CLEANED
darkly in the sun.
From where Tenant stood, he
could see only Blair, and eagerly he
waved to her with both hands, while
his voice doomed jubilant welcome
across the water. He pulled the
wing over the dock and opened the
cabin door.
"Never so glad 10 see anybody In
my life!" His smile reflected his
delight. He reached up with two
great arms to lift Blair down. Then,
catching q movement inside the
plane, Nate peered into the cabin,
and the eyes of the two men met.
Tenants whole body stiffened,
the smile twisted to a grimace Of
angry surprise. Blair was forgot
ten.
"Hello, Nate" Colin stepped to
the dock.
The blood began whipping into
Tenants face; the tendons of his
neck swelled. what in blazes are
you doing here?"
Still smiling, still without raising
