CHAPTER XIII Continued 20 It atripped down to this: If the police found Galbrulth at Elkwan Garth Guthrie was done. Cameron might fix It with the company, but the authorities would be merciless. Then the smug Charles could revel In his "I told you sos," and Ethel he had not thought of Ethel, whose Christmas letters he had not answered, since he found Joan Quarrier on the Alhuny clearing she could thank Heaven for her lucky escape. "But the police won't find him at Elkwan 1" Guthrie rasped through his to teeth, and went to the trade-hous- e make his plans with Etlenne. "Did you have any trouble getting Mm up here?" Guthrie asked. "No, he holler some, but he was lashed In good." Then 'Guthrie explained the part Etlenne was to play when the police appeared. They would want to Interview him, and must find him In bed, a sick man. Accordingly, he must have the bandages, which Miss Quarrier would prepare at once, ready to put on. The children would have to be coached and kept out of the way. "Have you ever been badly hurt. Etlenne?" smiled and opening The his shirts, drew them back, baring a long scar across the muscular chest. "At Henley house, at de New Year dance, I get dls, nianee year ago. I was ver seek man. I know. W.'en poleece dey come, I be ver' seek man once more.' Guthrie laughed outright at the gravity of his head man. "Trust you, Etlenne, to act your part anywhere I Now If we could only keep them away from my quarters, but I've got to feed them there. That's where the danger lies. He may make a noise. He'll have to have au opiate to keep him quiet. If they hear him. It's all up with us." Savanne took the pipe from his mouth and leaned toward his chief, the muscles In 'his swnrt face knotted with the Intensity of his feeling. For a space the two men hardly breathed as the narrowed eyes of the bored Into Guthrie's quizzical gaze. Then Etienne said slowly : "You are good.frien' to me an' my familee. I feex dese poleeee if you say so." Slowly, as he read the stark sincerity of the offer In the other's face sensed that his friend of the dusky skin was bringing to the altar of their friendship the supreme gift, the hazard of his life, Guthrie's eyes softened with the affection which two years of river and const and trail with Ktlenne Savanne had kindled. He reached out a long arm and took the sinewy hand of the other. "I won't forget my friend." The swnrt face of the lit with pride at the words, then turning a way, he threw over his shoulder: "1 get lie bandage from M'a'mselle Quarrier an' show Marie how to muk" good nurse." half-bree- d . half-bree- half-hrcc- "His temperature's risen to 10.1. hear It In the other lung now." Joan Quarrier entered the living room, from which Old Anne had takep the supper dishes. "Double pneumonia!" Guthrie muttered. "Not a chance, after the flu, I there? I'oor old Craig! We've done what we could." She raised her eyes to the man who slouched, head In hands, elbows on knees. "Friendship is a very real thing to you." He looked up. "Yes, so real that without a thought of the cost to you. I brought you Into this " "Thnf was rather a fine compliment to nie, Mr. Exile, that you should feel sure of me know that I would come." "I thought only 'of him of what I owed him." For an Intervnl he was silent, then continued with a look that brought the blood to her face: "You? I knew you would come when you understood. I!ut It was unfair-wro- ng." I can "Why she demurred wrong?" "Ktlenne or this man, what did It matter? You needed me to help you and I cnnie." "Rut I've done worse still.

As Joan Quarrier stnred at the speaker, her surprise slowly shifted to anger. The dark eyes lit with n look new to the mun who watched. "Yon mean that? You think Id defer! him, dying, your friend?" He shrugged hopelessly In the face of her determination. "You're In a false position. I hud no right " "Stop!" she rommanrlod. raising her hand In finality. "Now, If they come, whnt will you do?"
