"You mean to say you two didn't hear the .45 a few hours back?" demanded Garry. "Not a shot! I saw through the glasses that you and Lise were sitting pretty cozy on the beach and everything looked all right, so Blaise and I took a paddle up the lake. We came back around five, couldn't find you, so turned Flame loose. Then we lost him." "Yes," laughed Garry, "everything was all right except that and his mob jumped me But I got three or , after she left. four before they cracked me from behind with a club. I came to, lashed to a tree In a small bog back in the bush. Flame, bless 'im! took their trail and found me. Then chewed the thongs on my wrists." "I told you, Garry!" burst out Red, flourishing his long arms in his anger. "Blaise and I warned you! The little, doublecrossing " "Wait till you hear the story. Red. I It's a queer one!" As they paddled back to camp, Finlay told the story In detail. "Well, what do you think, Constable Malone?" "It looks like wolf eat wolf, now. Sergeant Finlay. If we don't get this he's bound to get us! After today it'll be no quarter." "Well, what's your idea, Blaise?" 'asked Finlay. "We get dat white-heaquick, or we navare leave de lake.

Not so bloodthirsty!" objected Finlay, splashing water on bis tortured face and chest. "We happen to be police, you know. My orders are to investigate the disappearance of six men. "Until we can show that Isadore has a vital reason for keeping white men out of this country we've got no motive for his having them shot."

And if he ' Succeeds in turning the Montagnais against us, we'll never get out of this country." "They'll swarm on us. If we have to disclose the fact that we're police, Isadore will blame the Indians, stand pat and we're licked." "Exactly, and he'll bring charges against me for firing on his men without cause." Red snorted in disgust. "Why, you had to fight 'em, Garry! You knew they'd wipe you out if they took you and there'd be no proof of what happened. Of course, it's regulations but, after what we know and what they tried to do to you, what are you going to call it when Blaise and I meet up with this Tete-Blanc- Tete-Blanch- Red!" Garry chuck-Y-- "Thanks, Sergeant Finlay! Do you know this is the toughest assignment you and I ever had? You asked for it and got it because you were a trained surveyor before you joined the force."

"What a nerve that little decoy duck packs in that swell shape of hers! She's as tough as raw-hid- e but who'd guess it with that face!". Finlay ignored his friend's characterization of Lise Demarais. He began to read: "After what has happened you f ' have good reason never to trust rae, again. The very thought drives me frantic. But I had to write you. I swear I did not know they had followed me. If I had, could I have acted that way before those breeds? Could I have lost my head done what I did?

"He's quick as an otter. I was sure I had him today. He wasn't ten yards away and coming in, head on, when I threw the gun on him! I never made a worse miss." "You don't make many, Garry. Now what are the orders?" "I'm going to Matagami to have a report for headquarters relayed by canoe to the railroad. It's my alibi and last will and testament," said the blinded man, nursing his puffed face. "With these wild Montagnais crazy with Isadore's whiskey and fed up with the idea that we've sickened their children, we've got the chance a rabbit has with a snowy owl." Malone stopped his pacing, bent and peered anxiously into the fire-lface of his friend. Then he faltered: "You're you're not sending for help?" An effigy of a smile touched 's distorted features.

Blaise shook his head. "No, but we are sent by the Fathers to make a picture of the lakes." He repeated his talk with Wabistan to his friends. "He's right, Blaise," said Garry. "They've shown their hand. After today they've got to get rid of us to save their skins.

Because of the gravity of this Indian situation, I am advising the dispatch of a police plane in September to view our graves and clean up the case. This looks to me like the Waterloo of Sergeant Finlay and Constable Malone." A look of incredulity lay on freckled face. He squinted curiously at his chief: "You're not talking like your old self, Garry. You've taken a tough lacing from those bugs. You're in misery. And you're naturally sore over the scurvy trick that Jane played on you. But when the poison's worked out ol your system you're going to feel better about this jam we're in. I tell you we're going to bust Isadore wide open and if those Montagnais start to hunt us, there'll be plenty of red widows in these parts." "You may be right. Red." Finlay raised his face with its closed eyes to his friend. "But if we"re licked, we'll go down with our colors flying!" In the morning Wabistan left for the head of the lake to carry on his losing fight against the medicine man. For two days Garry"s physical condition kept him in camp, then the swelling began to leave his eyes and he could see. The afternoon of the third day, on his return from the with Moise Wabistan, Blaise announced: "Cano' movin' up de shore!" Red got his glasses from the tent. if that "Well, I'll be g Jane hasn't had the gall to send that boy hunting for us, again!" snorted Malone.

The island has been claimed by both American and British explorers, but the United States took it over again with all the territory of Hawaii in 1898.
