Then there was a grat-ing sound as the nose of the Peter-bor- o slid over a sand bar and the canoe came to a dead stop. They were trapped, yards from the shore! Finlay and Red swiftly traded rifles for poles while Blaise strained to free the boat. One false move and they'd draw a blast of fire. They threw their weight desperately on their poles. There came the low call of "Kekway!" from the murk. The three men stiffened. Crouched in the gloom the crew of the canoe waited for the crash of rifles in their faces. A silence so deep it beat like sound, pulsed in their ears. Ten twenty seconds and the men in the bow felt the canoe tremble. Blaise's signal to go! Like one man they strained against their poles. There was the scrape of wood on sand, the low wash of water and the canoe was backed clear. The nose of the boat had sheered off into deeper water when again, the call of "Kekway!" rose from the invisible shore. The three stopped breathing as the boat drifted. Sud-denly there was a movement in the alders and spurts of flame from ex-ploding rifles stabbed the gloom. With a savage thrust Blaise jumped the canoe downstream. The enraged airedale rose under his blanket, but was forced flat. There was a stam-pede of feet along the shore and full in their faces blazed a barrage of rifle shots. The canoe grounded and was cleared again while the rifles of the fl of Blaise's mouth iHje shadow of a smile. I not first time woman Llook like fool. But 'Ki yu are fr en' o me! Ejust de same!"

"I'm Duncan Mc-Na-in charge here, and this It Da- - vid. my head man." Finlay introduced himself and his friends. "We passed through the lake some time back, Mr. McNab, on our way in to map Waswanipi." "Map Waswanipi?" The shrewd blue eyes of the trader pictured his amazement. "You're a government survey party, then?" "We were." Finlay shot an amused look at Red. The heavy brows of the trader lift-ed. "Then you've finished?" "No. Mr. McNab, we're not on the survey, now, but we haven't finished with Waswanipi." Finlay's face stiffened. "We've come to you for help and information. Then we're going back to finish." The clamp of his lean Jaw and the points of fire in the speaker's eyes snapped McNab's head for-ward in a narrow-eye- d stare. "I don't get you, Mr. Finlay. Let's talk it out over a pipe in the trade-roo- Of course, you'll stay the night with us? We're pretty lonely, here, for a white face. Your men can stow your stuff in that shack. David will show him." 'Thanks," said Finlay. "I'll shut up my dog, too, before there's a fight." Shortly the three white men sat In the traderoom. "Now, Mr. Finlay," said McNab, exhaling a cloud of smoke, "would you mind getting down to brass tacks?" Finlay was measuring the caliber of the man whom circumstances had forced him to trust in order to insure the delivery of his message to the railroad. This trader looked a man full in the eye and had a straightforward way with him. He seemed staunch. According to re-ports he had been worsted by Isa-dore in the fight for the fur trade. That was in their favor and should keep his mouth closed. There was nothing to be gained by waiting. "How well do you know Jules Isa-dore?" Garry suddenly asked. The veins lifted in McNab's neck and temples as he tore his pipe from his teeth and rasped: "Too damned well!" Finlay nodded at the grinning Red. "I thought that would be it. Well, Mr. McNab, we're going to tell you a story. It concerns the deaths of six men. First, possibly you'd be interested to look at that." Fin-lay produced his police badge and handed it to McNab, whose jaws sagged in his surprise. "We'ni Mounted Police and we're here to have a message relayed to the rail-road." McNab slowly returned the badge. His eyes strayed from the bronzed faces of the Mounties to the lines of their hard bodies filling the wool shirts and whipcord breeches. "Po-lice, eh? I might have known from your eyes and the set of your shoul-ders. Well! Well! Up on Waswanipi posing as surveyors! So it's Isadore, at last!" "Yes," said Finlay, "it's Isadore, at last!" Then he described the events of the past weeks while Mc- Nab, drawing furiously on his pipe, punctuated the narrative with out-raged grunts. "That's the story, McNab. For the present, not a word, even to your wife. When can you send a canoe to the railroad?" "We're sending one shortly," 'he said. "But their firing on you on the Nottaway, then ambushing you, and you supposed to be on the gov-ernment survey! I can't get over it. Sergeant! Of course I'd heard at the railroad of these reported drown-ings and had had my suspicions." "They didn't believe we were on the survey," replied Finlay. Into his gray eyes crept the mist of memory. His voice was rough with pain as he asked: "Did those boys stop here last summer?" "Yes. Nice boys, too!" "One was my brother." "Your brother? Oh, I'm sorry! You didn't say one was your broth-er when you told of finding their bodies." "No." "It's tough, Sergeant Finlay, damned tough! That crook" Mc- Nab stopped his pacing to stand over Garry and shake a thick fin-ger. "Why why the man's a lun-aticmad as a hermit wolf! He can't get away with this!" "He's managed to so far." McNab's face filled with blood as his anger increased. "I've seen a lot guessed a lot, since the Com-pany sent me here three years ago to try to save the trade on this lake. We learned that Tete-Blanch- e was bribing our hunters with whiskey to leave us and trade their fur with Isadore. I reported it to the Com pany and the authorities. His freight was searched at Nottaway but they found nothing They thought I was lying to hurt him because he was a competitor, and dropped it. 1 was reprimanded by oit District In spector for bringing charges I couldn't prove. Couldn't prove?' snorted McNab. "I had all the prool in the world " (TO BE COTIM EC: "Go on, Blaise!" snapped Finlay. "We're in for it, now!" Montagnais spat blindly at the in-visible target. At last, far down-stream Blaise trailed his paddle. "Thanks, Isadore, for that whis-key!" panted Red, splashing water on his bleeding cheek. "If it hadn't been for the fact that they were drunk for a they'd have slaughtered us on that bar! Good thing we didn't let them have it, though! They'd have fired at the flashes. I thought they'd jump into the canoe." "They didn't know what they were shooting at. Red! The guards on shore heard the duck pass; then the wash of water when we shoved off By now they probably think it was one of those bank beaver we saw when we came up the river." "Wen Injun gret drunk dey like to shoot de gun," grunted Blaise. "Dey navare know if we pass or not onles nose of cano' leave mark on dat bar. I t'ink not. De current take care of dat." "You're right, Blaise," said Fin-lay. "We had them guessing. And we'll keep them guessing. I wonder if Kinebik has won them all over or if these were only a few of the wild-est Tete-Blanc- bribed with Isa-dore's whiskey." "It looks like Wabistan had lost all his influence," said Red. "Mebbe," replied Blaise. "We see." And his long paddle bit chunks from the water. "Lise was right when she warned that Isadore is trying to bottle us up," said Finlay. "With the Mon-tagnais hunting us all over the lake we'll have to step lively or we'll nev-er see that plane from the north." CHAPTER XII Three days later the keel of the Peterboro slid into the gravel beach at the Hudson's Bay post at Mata-gami. The door of the white-washe- d log trade-hous- e opened and two men started for the landing. At the gate of the slab e surrounding the trader's quarters a tall girl, whose golden bob the sun touched into flame, curiously watched. From a window of the frame house a worn an and two half-grow- n children stared at the three men on the be?cl, for white travelers were rare at Matagami. buried in the Notta way wilderness. "Good day, gentlemen! Welcome to Matagami!"

Young women workers in the na-tion's Capitol are about to be glori-Ba- d on the screen; evidently the same idea hit several studios at once. Paramount's version of the ' life and times of the young ladies will be called "Washington Esca- - pade." Metro bought a story called "Whit House Girl," by Ruth Fin-ney, wife of a newspaper man. Every so often somebody has to screen Rex Beach's "The Spoilers." It was done in 1925 with William Farnum and Tom Sanehcy staging the fist fight that made it famous. Paramount did it in 1930 with Gary Cooper. Now Universal will make it once again this time with Ran-dolph Scott and John Wayne in the he-ma- n roles, and Marlene Dietrich as the heroine. Another scheduled for the Dear future is "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," which was last made by Paramount, in 1934, with W. C. Fields, Pauline Lord and Vir-- ginia Weidler. This time little Caro- - lyn Lee will be the child lead. That won't be just gibberish that you hear the actors speaking in RKO's "Valley of the Sun"; it's really Apache. Producer Graham Baker hired Chief Chris Willowbird to make phonograph records in which each speech was spoken first in English, then in Apache. Then James Craig, Antonio Moreno, Tom Tyler and other members of the cast settled down to study the records. "I Elizabeth Bergner, one of the most famous European actresses to work in Hollywood, has just com-pleted the first of her films to be made. It's "Paris Calling," a story of the betrayal and fall of France. Miss Bergner's European pictures include "Catherine the Great," "Es-cape Me Never," and "Dreaming Lips." She became famous as one of Europe's leading stage figures be- - fore she made pictures. The movies are an old story to Frances Robinson; at the age of four she played Lillian Gish as a Child in "Orphans of the Storm." More recently, she appeared in "Smiling Through." Now she's left pictures for the radio; she's the gid-dy debutante in the air's version of the delightful "My Man Godfrey."
