He was so buoyant so kind that she liked and him instantly. Naive aa a child in some ways, he was sensitive and intelligent in many others; and she found him to be a mine of information about Dynamite Bay. The main prospecting field, he told her, lay up Resurrection, beginning at those sawtooth hilla and extending northeast into the barrwas a sort of The Bay ens. central point where the men came to get supplies, recuperate, and have a bit of human association. I thought thered be a lot of excitement here, and several thousand men. and all that, Patricia remarked disappointedly. But Sown, hack in She hated idleness like the plague, yet Idleness seemed the thing that she had the most of, in her life. Wherever she went, at home, abroad, idleness dogged her; and now it had followed her even to the remote North. She had expected to plunge in and help Warren with his work, whatever it was; but he had politely refused to let her help him or to tell her a single word about his business there on Resurrection. It wounded Patricia very deeply to discover that Warren was holding out on her. He and she had been together almost a solid week, on the long trip, yet she knew no more about his secret mission than she had known in Chicago. She had tried earnestly to break down that sense of strangeness between them, but so far she had miserably failed. She cared little about his mission Itself; she only wanted him to be open and warm and honest with her. But she did want that, dreadfully; and his evasive silence hurt Instead of reading, she lay in the hammock in a reverie mood, starArctic ing up at the apple-greesky. Down at Chicago she had thought about Resurrection river, and now on Resurrection she was thinking about Chicago, brooding about it and her life there. Toward six o'clock she slid out of the hammock and wandered down to the bank of Resurrection, to find Poleon St Jacques and have him take her on a little "slumming expen dition. dere, If you can spare a couple of hours, Poleon," she said, I'd like for you to take me across the river.

It was a perfect summer day, lazily warm and golden. Butterflies flitted past the canoe, and over the water a legion of dragonflies were snatching up mosquitoes in their trapdoor jaws. Although late evening by clock time, the sun stood as high in the sky as at noon in Chicago. Patricia knew, rationally, that she was in the land of the midnight sun and that there would be no sunset for several weeks; but night had always been so Infallible an event that she didn't quite believe it wasnt going to arrive. The canoe approached the north g, sunny-hearte- She and Poleon had stopped to watch a group of men whom Lupe Chiwaughimi, the leader of Warren's six metis, bad recruited from among the prospectors. They were rolling drums of airplane gas onto a skiff. Patricia soon noticed that one of the men, a stocky weatherbeaten miner, was in bad trouble of some sort He kept wiping the perspiration out of his eyes, and occasionally a fierce gust of pain swept across his bulldog face. All at once, as he started to push a drum up the skids, he caved in completely and sank down in a heap. Poleon sprang in, rolled off the drum which had fallen back on the mans legs, and slipped an arm under his head. Steady, Bill, he soothed, as the mans eyes flickered open. Every-ting'- s Dose drum, dey too much for you to wrassle. Lem-m- e take you back to your tent." You won't no such thing! the man refused, weakly. I can stick it Soon as this spell kicks over, I'll cut the mustard okay. I got to, Poleon." Non, non, Bill! If you jus' got to have dat money, I'll take your place for de res' at dis job. Still shaking his head, the man slowly pulled himself together, got up, trudged to the lake edge, soused water ever his tousled hair; then came back to the gang and doggedly set to work again. What's the matter with that fellow?" Patricia demanded, as Poleon rejoined her. "Is he drunk? Sacrebleu, non! He seeck, poor Bill is a terrible seeck man, Mees Pat. Its inside of heem, here" Poleon rubbed his stomach. He can get well, nevair. Bimeby, in free or four moot's, he got to die.

They didn't dare take time Poleon explained. A man had to do IS days work a year on each claim he held or it would revert to the Crown. Since most of the prospectors owned ten or more claims, it took constant labor and the hardest kind of sacrifice merely to hang on to their holdings.
