breeze whispering across it ruffled
his brown hair and sent wavelets
leaping up the sandy beach. Johnny
walked to the end of the pier and
squatted with his hands resting on
the sun-warped boards.
After staring across the water for
a minute he rose and walked back
along the pier, fear in his heart He
stepped from the pier to the beach,
put two oars in the rowlocks of a
boat and showed it out into the lake.
Water Tapped at his ankles, and
dampened the cuffs of his trousers
as he climbed into the seat and
gripped both oars The crazy rattle
of loon rippled from somewhere
out in the darkness.
The wind was from the north and
Johnny steered south. The boat
plowed through clinging green
weeds whose flexible stalks found
root in the sandy shadows. Johnny
went in close to shore and stroked
the oars very slowly as he rowed
parallel to it A half hour after he
left the pier he found what he had
expected to find. A dark blur on
the water. SyPs boat was caught in
the weeds. One oar trai1ed in the
lake, the other was on the seat.
JOHNNY GRASPED the trailing
painter, tied it to the boat he rowed,
and towed SyPs boat back to the
pier. He drew both up on the beach
and went into the cabin.
He took a snub-nosed automatic
from bureau drawer, looked duly
at it and put it back. Syl was some
where on the bottom of the lake,
and Zeb Ballon had killed him. Any
one else on the lake whose partner
had been murdered would take a
gun and kill the murderer. But it
was not the proper way.
Johnny gritted his teeth and for
the second time walked down to the
pier. A gun would not settle this
and one killing would not avenge
another. There were such things as
mighty forces. They had been con-
ceived for all men and should prop
er1y deal with Zeb BaIlon. But -
JOHNNY SAT down on the sand
and stared duly over the water. He
knew it as he knew nothing else
the various places where fish might
be at various times of the year, tn,
sloughs and inlets most favored b.
waterfowl, the runways where care
fully placed traps would take musk
rats and mink.
But he also knew the lake as ;
hungry, fierce thing that had neve
yet given up anything it had taken
Only its shores were sandy an,
shallow. In the center huge pile
of rock crouched like misshape
monsters to hide forever what wen
down among them. It was impos
sible to seine, futile to drag a crap
pling hook. The lake was the gray
Of three men who, in the past ]
years, had drowned in it.
Johnny stared down the dar
shore to the point that hid Ze
Balloons cabin. Justice did not COZ
denim men for looking evilly at otht
men, or for harboring eternal T,
venge in their hearts after they hs
taken a sound beating for stealir
muskrats out of traps. But JohnI

the DOaLS, paIrOlung ike SLOW ana
patient dogs over the water. They
were the sheriffs boats, and they
were graphing for SyTs body But
Johnny knew, and the sheriff must
have known, that they would not
find it. The lake had never yet given
up anything it had claimed. When
the evening shadows became a little
longer and a little darker, the little
boats painted like tired dogs towards
home.
JOHNNY WALKED to the end of
the pier, lifted the bucket in which
he and Syl kept minnows for bait
and dumped a dozen Of the wriggling
little fish into the ive-box beneath
the seat of his own boat. He went
into. the cabin to get a casting rod
and flashlight and laid both on the
seat.
Then he rowed across the lake to
the exact spot where he had found
SyPs empty boat last night. For a
few minutes he idled at the oars,
studying the lake. It was calm now,
but last night the wind had been
north and about 20 degrees west.
Johnny took compass from his
pocket, read it under the flashlights
bright glare and set a course.
He rowed out beyond the shall
lows, anchored, and rugged the rod.
But, when the strike came, it was
only a Tapping, foolish-eyed crappie
that he lifted into the boat. Johnny
extricated the hook, threw the crap
pie back into the lake and again set
his course by compass. He rowed 80
feet farther out and cast his baited
hook again.
ALL NIGHT he fished, catching
five more crappies, a bass, a perch
and small pike. When morning
came he rowed back to the cabin and
slept soddenly all day. But that night
he was back at the south shore of
the lake and had set his course four
degrees west of last nights. For q
week, fishing from dark until dawr
and always as close as he could gel
to the aimless course that Syl's drift
ing boat might have taken, he fisheo
on the lake.
But it was not until the eighth
night that he caught that for which
he was seeking. Johnny rose in the
boat, thrust a knife between his
teeth rornoxyod he cIo{b;ro onS
lowered his 1.-THE, powerful body ovel
the side into the black water. He
climbed 20 feet down the anchor
rope to the lakes bottom. For min.
ute, a minute and half, he swan
about, cropping with his feet and feel
ing with his fingers before he rose
for air. Immediately he went dowr
again.
The next morning Johnny Taggar
rose to meet the sheriff on tn,
courthouse steps. The dizziness ant
misery were gone from his eyes ant
a quiet serenity had replaced them

he plodded over the bridge that
crossed. Sinking creek to the black

head bent and hands in his pockets.
