He rushed outside to Join Noel kneeling beside the body of John McCord in the mens tent "John! John! What have they done to you? cried the shocked Cameron, throwing off the skin robe that covered the still shape breathing heavily on the bough floor. Light a candle, Noel, quick! he ordered as he searched with trembling fingers for wounds, while his tortured heart waa calling: Heatherl What have they done to you? Noel held the candle while Cameron pushed back McCords hood. Across the giants mop of yellow hair ran the blood-cake- d sear of a grazing bullet, but a large d slug had entered his back. Shot in the lungs with a 45! That's McQueen, Noel, not the They would have looted the camp taken the tents! McQueen's got Heather, Noel! They've got Heather! Alan sobbed.

They cleaned - and dressed the wounds in McCord's head and back, and carried him into Heathers tent where they started a fire in the folding stove. But they knew that John McCord would never again see his daughter. While the life ebbed slowly from the man who had toiled so long only to find a grave on the shore of the River of Skulls, they made their plans for pursuit Shortly there was a moon and Noel went out and found the trail of a toboggan sled leading to the river, with the prints of snowshoes. They were not the bear-paprints of the Naskapi but the longer webs of the Cree shoe worn on the East Coast There was no doubt At last McQueen had struck!
