really in the doghouse, and there
seemed no way out.
He drifted back to his own

He WENT downstairs. hailed a

His misery was even deeper
when he entered the Office of his

pity toward the wizard and, per-
haps because of a Highland in
heritance, of ancestors who firm
ly believed in second-sight, she
had strong belief, blended with
reverence, in his wisdom. She
sometimes saw his eyes regarding
her with kindly speculation.
Nipegosis might know what Will
wanted-what she also wanted,
for Willis sake first and then for
her own, so that they might both
leave this exile-but she fancied,
and hoped, that the wizard sensed
that she would have performed
these little offices for him with
out any selfish purpose.

him.
He listened to her seriously.
He had her share of Scotch be-
liefs. He knew Indians. He knew
Nipegosis.
"All right, Sis!' he told her.
"Nipegosis told you something,
or showed you something. He
doesn't talk through his war bon
net. He knows. l don't know
where he gets his stuff or how
he puts it over, but I'll stake
anything that somebody is out
there, on the edge of timber
beyond Elk River. That's ten
miles. He'll freeze to death in
side of two hours. Well take a
chance on it."
It's no chance, Will. He's
there. It's somebody l know, I'm
sure. Trying to tell me some
thing"
Sure, kid" said her brother.
He saw she was not far from be-
ing hysterical and she was not
that sort of a girl. He brought
her out of it with something to
do.
Help me harness the team, -
he commanded.
Seven dogs, three couples and
a leader. A girl on the long mar
row sled with the blankets. Sew
en- dogs full of meat, digging in
their paws, making ten miles an
hour and better, Juggling in their
harness. A man behind the sled,
running, clinging to the gee-pole,
guiding it, urging on the team.
The breath of all of them like
puffs of steam, pursuing a fan
tasy perhaps.
They crossed the frozen river
and raced through the trees. 1t
was Marion who first glimpSed
the dim glow of the fire, down to
embers. The man was in a heap
in little hollow, one arm flung
out. He was unconscious, stiffen-
ing.
The dogs lay down on COM
mand, painting after their run,
but fresh, their tongues lolling,
ears up as the brother and sister
ran toward the fallen man
Easy, Sis, he's hurt said Will.
Frozen blood all over his leg

too, We've got to lift him on the

CHAPTER v

synopsis: will Macleod and
his sister Marion had fled their
uncle's trading post at Bison
crossing when Bill had been un-
y2Stiy accused of murder. Dick
ASrne Bills friend, was sent by
Alexander Macleod to White
Rock to deliver a message to Nj
pegOsis, who still practiced witch
craft. Marion and Bill were hid
ing in a cottage near Nipegosis'.
Before Dick reached White Rock
he was shot by a half-breed Kin
Oceti, who wanted to get the a
ward for Bills capture. Marion
made daily visit to Nipegosis,
taking him broth and other food.
Marion had a certain womanly
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1947-07-31

big room. NlpegoSlS sat huddled
in his blankets.
"Come in, Tagami," he said as
she entered. That was his name
for her. Tagami, the Birch, most
graceful of trees IN the North. 1t
was a compliment. He had not
moved. He would be expecting
her at that hour, the first of twi-
light and darkness, the opening
of the door had brought in cold
air, made the wicks flicker; but
to Marion there was always some
thing uncanny about the utteran-
i ces of Nipegosis. His voice sound
ed like that of an ancient oracle,
tired of Delphic utterances, speak
ing deeply but YEARLY out of a
cavern.
She closed the door and sat
down on a stump covered with
! bison hide, stripped of hair and
softly tanned. She took the cover
off the broth and offered it to
him together with the spoon of
carved horn he had given her,
telling her it was a magic spoon
one that made good medicine.
The smell of the strong broth
gratit.~ him. 1t was good and
proper for Red Deer to bring him
the meat. Not proper for him to
tell Red Deer that meat, raw or
cooked, was too strong for his
few teeth and his belly these days.
A wizard must always be wrapped
in mystery. They would find him
some day, in this lodge he had
taken over, dead, with dignity
He supped the contents of the
basin slowly.
"Your brother hunts" he sta
ted. 'He will soon return. He
brings meat"
Marion accepted his assertions.
Facts would prove them. And she
began to have an eerie feeling
that she always got in the Con-
Jurors presence. It was heighten-
ed tonight. She felt the soft, short
Silken hairs at the back of her
neck stiffen and bristle. 1t seemed
as if something marked clammy
track down her spine.
She held the sense of danger
and yet she felt she was pro-
tected, that Nipegosis was in a
kindly mood toward her. Perhaps
this last gift of broth might make
him speak, tell her what she most
wanted to know. She believed in
her brothers tale of his innocence
in the killing Of jacques Regnier,
though she would have followed
lim anyway. And she knew, as
ne did, that the evidence was
practically overwhelming.
Nipegosis finished his broth;
he girl put another chunk in the
stove. The shadows bllnked about
he queer objects and invested
them with greater significance.
The Conjuror sat motionless;
he had seemed to collapse into a
shapeless, homeless heap beneath
his blanket In the Wavering light
his turtle head seemed something
carved rather than animate. His
eyes were closed between the
harm lids.
Suddenly, in some nook where
he light did not reach, some
where in the dense shadow, an
indian drum began to beat, a
.1romonial tom-tom. 1t was hard

Statement To Our Customers About Resale
PR|C IS of PRODUCTS
Built by International Harvester Company

Here at Harvester we are con-
cerned over the fact that a
growing number of our prod
ucts are appearing On the re-
sale market at greatly inflated
prices.
AS manufacturers, we try to
produce at the lowest possible
cost. We cannot set the prices
at which our products-trac-
tors, motor trucks, farm i'm
Elements, refrigeration, and in
dustrial power equipment are
sold. We can and do suggest
list prices which the great ma
jority of our dealers adopt as
their retail prices.
$4,000, 900 Price Reduction
Our basic price policy was
publicly stated in March, 1947,
when we announced price re-
auctions at the rate of approx
mately $2O,O0O,000 per year
on our products. At that time,
Fowler Mccormick, Chairman
of the Board, said: AMY PRICE
Is TOO HIGH IF IT CAN BE RE-
DUCED."
Practically all of our dealers
cooperated with this policy and
passed on the savings to their
customers.
The objective of the price
reductions was to make it pos
sible for customers to buy our
products, which they need so
badly, at lower prices. Natu-
rally, this purpose is defeated
when our products are sold by
anybody at inflated prices.

women now employed are
turning out the greatest guam
titles of III products of all
kinds that we have ever made.
These are also the finest prod

recognition of that fact is an
important COntribu ting factor

are being resold at inflated

is not to be resold.

Interesting Dish
By the Chef

Now that we Americans have be-
come salad addicts, fayoring the
simple mixture of green's over and
above the elaborate connections of
an earlier era. we take our "let-
tuces.' as the English call it, very
much for granted And yet, not SO
long ago, during the war, there was
a period when lettuce of any kind
was not to be had in many markets
and. consequently, it became of
prime Importance!
| Lettuce, as a matter of fact, has
been favored food from the most
ancient times. The Jews served it
as an accompaniment to the Paschal
lamb. However, it is believed that
their variety was of bitter ma
ture-probably the bitter herbs
mentioned in Exodus and Numbers
in the Old Testament. These herbs
were probably a species of wild let
tuce, possibly one from which chic
ory or endive was developed.
| The Greeks and Romans also
liked lettuce. Theophrastus re-
marks that it was the favorite plant
of Adonis. 1t was considered so
valuable in those days that an an
cient philosopher is said to have
watered his lettuce with good wine
However, lettuce was mostly cooked
| then and it was centuries before
/ it was adopted as a raw food to
any great degree. This probably
was due to unsanitary cultivation
methods. The same situation holds
true in backward sections of some
countries today and travellers are
warned to eschew raw green's in any
form.
If you are unfamiliar with cooking
