SYNOPSIS

Having helped Colin Rae, Of the
Hendrik's Bay Company. to escape
mysterious pursuers at Winnipeg.
the youthful Trina Meredith went
north TO meet her elderly hance,
Rodney Selkirk, at Learmonth. Col
In is investigating the seemingly
Trail. mild hammered Jonathan
Dove, head Of two Indian schools
and power among trappers. Once
heard him called the most danger
Gus man in Canada" Colin told
Trina. Eluding Dove, left behind in
Winnipeg, Colin and Trina few in
a small plane, owned and piloted
by Blair Benedict, former school
girl chum of Colin. Heavy snow
forced her to make an emergency
landing at Trappers Lake where
the veteran Alec Gum sheltered
the trio. Next morning. Alec and
Blair started on foot for Lear
month, Trina and Colin soon fol-
lowing. Colin tells Selkirk what
he knows of the murder of Van
Downe, another Company agent,
and why he still suspects Dove
though the latter has been cleared
officially.

wind had stirred, but it was as II a
cold draft touched him, and he saw
Selkirk rising in his chair. Again
the creak Of hinges, the soft scrape
Of leather on the floor. Slowly, al
most against his will, Colin forced
himself to turn.
The door was open wide, and on
the threshold, blandly smiling, stood
Jonathan Dove.
Very quietly Dove came toward
them. His mild gray eyes fingered
Aeetingly on Selkirk's face, then
moved to Collins, and q smile
touched the little mans lips. "Nice
to be back, isn't it," he murmured.
"May / sit DOWN."
The voice was hesitant, as II he
felt himself to be an unexpected
guest, hopeful of welcome, but not
quite confident.
Struck silent with amazement,
Colin did not answer. He scarcely
heard. The blood singing in his
ears, the quickened pounding Of his
heart, all testified to his refusal TO
accept the stark impossibility Of
Doves presence there. Dove simply
couldn't bein Learmonth; Dove was
in Winnipeg. No planes were to be
chartered. Yet here before him,
family amused, Dove himself was
standing. Collins imagined security
had been short-lived - once more
the two antagonists were face to
face.
Fighting against that growing
sense Of unreality, Colin had to &C

North To Danger

eept the unweleoms fact that from
now on his every move would b,
more dangerous, or-worse still
the next move might come from
Dove himself. And yet-again Colin
looked at Dove-no slightest sign Of
threat lay there. Only a kind Of
unhurried watchfulness, as Of one
who could afford to wait.
Selkirk held out his hand. Take
off your coat, Dove. Sit down." The
voice was quietly courteous, but, as
Dove moved forward, Colin dropped
his own mackinaw over the picture
he had shown Selkirk a moment be-
fore. He tried to make the gesture
casual, but he saw Dove glance to-
ward the table, and could not be
sure whether the little mans eyes
fiickered as he took the offered chair.
Comfortably Dove crossed his

Colin pointed TO one Of the men.

CHAPTER NINE

Again Selkirk shook his head.
"After all, your only reason for
suspicion lies in seeing Dove on the
trail"
mo, you're wrong" Colin rose
to his feet. ave two more reasons.
First, Dove is worried: he doesn't
know how much Van Downe told
me. The day ! left Wolverine, two
of Doves trappers came down on
the same train. I'm pretty sure
they went through my baggage, and
think they intended to give me the
works and then swear / started a
fight. As soon as it was dark, /
slipped off the train and hired a car
to Winnipeg. They were there ahead
of me: they figured that I'd make
straight for the company Office with
any information l might have, and
they were waiting for me.
~ lodged them and went TO the
hotel. l knew if I didn't get out Of
Winnipeg quick, they were bound
to catch up with me. At the hotel
/ heard Miss Meredith ask about fly
ing to Learmonth, and we chartered
.Blair's plane and few here. BY this
time, Dove must know where am,
but the last boat of the year left
two days ago, there are no more
planes to charter in Winnipeg, and
Canadian Anyways won't start until
the lakes freeze. So I've some time
TO look around"
"And after thst!"
after that, my guess Is Dove
will be here, too; and, if he decides
I'm really dangerous" Colin gave
a short laugh Of irritation. 81 never
thought I had a nerve in my body,
but can't forget the look on Van
Downe's face, and won't ever for
get Dove as he walked by me that
night, humming to himself, and his
fingers moving"
For a while both men were silent.
"It's hard to believe" Selkirk muir
INJURED, "and yet" He watched the
smoke rising from his cigar. "You
said you had two reasons for be-
lieving Dove guilty. What was the
second"
"This." From his pocket Colin
drew out a photograph. 1t was
wrinkled and yellow with age, but
it showed a group Of twelve young
officers Of the Royal Canadian Air
Force. "This was taken in nineteen
