"Mon Dleu," he whispered to himself in French, with a thought that was like a sharp stab at his heart, "she Is not of her mother's blood non. It is French. She is yes like an angel." There was a change In Pierrot. During the three days of her dressmaking Nepeese had been quite too excited to notice this change, and Pierrot had tried to keep it from her. He had been away ten days on the trip to Lac Bain, and he brought back to Nepeese the joyous news that M'sleu McTaggart was very sick with pechlpoo the blood poison news that made the Willow clap her hands and laugh happily. But he knew that the Factor would get well, and that he would come again to their cabin on the Gray Loon. And when next time he Continued 14 With her wet clothes clinging to her tightly, she was like a slim shadow as he crossed the soggy open and burled herself among the forest trees. Baree till followed. She went straight to a birch-tre- e that she had located that day and began tearing off the loose bark. An armful of this bark she carried close to the wigwam, and on It she heaped load after load of wet wood until she had a great pile. From a bottle In the wigwam she secured a dry match, and at the first touch of Its tiny flame the birch-barflared up like paper soaked In oil. Not until It vai blazing a dozen feet into the air did she cease putting wood on It. Then he drove sticks Into the soft ground and over (these sticks stretched the blanket out to dry. After that she began to undress. The rain had cooled the air, and the tonic of It laden with the breath of the balsam and spruce set the Willow's blood dancing In her veins. She forgot the discomfort of the deluge'. She forgot the Factor from Lac Buln, and what Pierrot had told her. She danced about Baree, tossing her sea of hair about her, her naked body shimmering In and out of it, her eyes aglow, her lips laughing In her reasoning happiness the happiness of being alive, of drinking into her lungs the perfumed air of the forest, of seeing the stars and the wonderful sky above her. She stopped before Baree and cried laughingly at him, holding out her arms: "Ahe, Baree if you could only throw off your skin as easily as I have thrown off my clothes!" She drew a deep breath, and her eyes shone with a sudden Inspiration. Slowly her mouth formed Into a round O, and leaning still nearer to Baree, she whisoered : "It will be deep and sweet tonight. Ninga yes we will go!" She called to. him softly as she lipped on her wet moccasins and folA lowed the creek Into the forest. hundred yards from the open she came to the edge of a pool. It was deep and full tonight, three times as big as it had been before the storm. She could hear the gurgle and inrush of water. On Its ruffled surface the stars shone. For a moment or two she stood poised on a rock with the cool depths hul f a dozen feet below her. Then she flung back her hair and shot like a slim white arrow through the . came It was when he was thinking of this that his face grew cold and hard, and his eyes burned. And he was thinking of it on this her birthday, even as her laughter floated to him like a song. Dleu, In spite of her seventeen years, she was nothing but a child a baby ! She could not guess his horrible visions. And the dread of awakening her for all time from that beautiful childhood kept him from ' lllsi, 1 tfirlight. Baree saw her go. He heard the plunge of her body. For half an hour he lay flat and still, close to the edge of the pool, and watched her. Once she was gone a long time. He whined. He Knew she was not like the beaver and the otter, nnd he was filled with an immense relief when she came up. So their first night passed storm, the cool, deep pool, the big fire ; and Inter, wnpn the Willow's clothes and the blanket had dried, a few hours' sleep. At dawn they returned to the cabin. It was a cautious approach. There was no smoke coming from the Pierchimney. The door was closed. rot and Bush McTaggart were gone.

On this day there came up from the south MacDonald, the government He was gray and grizzled, with a great, free laugh and a clean heart. Two days he remained with Pierrot. He told Nepeese of his daughters at home, of their mother, whom he worshiped more than anything else on earth and before he went on In his quest of the last timber line of Bnnkslan pine, he took pictures of the Willow as he had first seen her on her birthday: her hair piled In glossy coils and masses, her red dress, the shoes. He carried the negatives on with him, promising Pierrot that lie would get a picture hack In some way. Thus fate works in Its slrange and apparently Innocent ways as It spins Its webs of tragedy. map-make- r. Chapter VIII It was the beglunlng of August Moon when Pierrot rethe Klying-uturned from Lac Bain, nnd In three days more It would be the Willow's He brought seventeenth birthday. lu k with htm many things for Nepeese ribbons for her hair, real phocs. which she wore at times like the two English women at Nelson House, and chief glory of all, some wonderful red cloth for a dress. In the three winters she had spent at the Mission these women had made much of Nejcee. They had tnuglit her to sew as well as to spell nnd rend and pray, and st times there came to the Willow a compelling desire to do as they did. So for three days Nepeese worked bard on her new dress and on her birthday she stood before Pierrot In a fashion that took his breath awny. Slie had piled her hnir In great glow-In- s masses and colls on the crown of her head, as Yvonne, the younger of the English women, had taught her. and In the rich Jet of it had half vivid sprig of the crimson burled Under this and the glow In her eyes, and the red flush of her lips and checks came the wonderful red dress, fitted to the slim and sinuous beauty of her form aa the style tad been two wlntprs ago at NelAnd nmler the dress, son House. r T. !i reached Just below the knees ,.i p,.e md quite forgotten the proper . or else her mnterlal bad run a e: rue the roup ip mnltre of her and the wonder to i !. re;il t I with Mi.ii heels!

Pierrot . noted the attachment with tbe deepest satisfaction. "Ah, In a few months more. If be should leap at the throat of M'sieu the Factor," he said to himself one day. In September, when be was six months old, Baree was almost as large as Gray Wolf with a deep chest, and Jaws that could already crack a bone as if It were a stick. He was with Nepeese whenever and wherever she moved. It was late in August when Baree saw the first of his kind outside of Kazan and Gray Wolf. During the summer Pierrot allowed his dogs to run at large on a small island in the center of a lake two or three mile away, and twice a week he netted fish for them. On one of these trips Nepeese accompanied him and took Baree with her. Pierrot carried his long caribou-gu- t whip. He expected a fight. But there, was none. Baree Joined the pack In their rush for fish, and ate with them. This, pleased Pierrot more than ever. "He. will make a great sledge-dog,- " he chuckled. "It is best to leave him for a week with the pack, ma Nepeese." Reluctantly Nepeese gave her consent. While the dogs were still at their fish, they started homeward. Their canoe had stolen well out before Baree discovered the trick they bad played on . him. Instantly he leaped Into the water and swam after them and the Willow helped him Into the canoe. ' Early In September a passing Indian brought Pierrot word of Bush The Factor had been McTaggart. very sick. He hnd almost died from the blood poison, hut he was well now. With the first exhilarating tang of autumn in the air a new dread oppressed Pierrot. Rut at present he said nothing of what was in his mind to Nepeese. The Willow had almost forgotten the Factor from Lac Bain, for the glory and thrill of wilderness autumn was in her blood. .Most of Nepeese's hours she spent in training Baree for the sledge. She began with a bnbiche string and a stick. It was a whole day before she could Induce Baree to. drag this stick without turning at every other step to snap and growl at It. Then she fastened another length of babiche to him, and made him drag two sticks. Thus little by little she trained him to the sledge-harnesuntil at tbe end of a fortnight he was tugging heroically at anything she had a mind io fasten to him. Pierrot brought home two of the dogs from the island, and Baree was put into training with these, and helped to drag the empty sledge. Nepeese was delighted. On the day the first light snow fell she clapped her hands and cried to Pierrot : "By midwinter I will have him the finest dog in the pack, mon pere !" i This was the time for Tlerrot to say what was in his mind. He smiled.
