It brought only temporary discomfort, for Garth kept the fire alive under a slanted heap of spruce boughs. None the less, the storm spurred him to redoubled activity, lie knew it to be the forerunner of the autumn blizzards that might now howl down off the snow-cla- d Selwyns at any time. While Mr. Ramill's slight fever remained, he said little and seemed to take everything as a matter of course. He had fully recovered from the effects of shock even be fore the fifth day when the bu'let wound through his upper chest be gan to heal. But with the passing of his feverish condition the irritability of convalescence Jabbed him out of his placid contentment. "Why are yon loafing around here. Garth?" he rasped. "Instead of wasting all this time piling up food, you could have made a canoe and run us down across to that re fueling post days ago." Garth swept his right hand edge wise out across his uplifted empty left palm. "No gun no hides. Dead birch no bark. No hides, no bark no canoe." "Huh ! Do you mean to say we'll have to stick here and freeze In your d d Arctic winter?" "Growl away, sir," Garth ap proved. "Sounds' good. It means you'll soon be In shape for rafting.

"A raft I How the devil can you make one If you can't make a canoe? No rope or rawhide thongs to tie the logs together." Garth supported him over through the spruce thicket to the drop-of- f of the bank. The wobbly Invalid squatted on the brink and stared In surprise.

The water was covered with white-cap- s, whipped up by the chill northerly wind. "Raft! Ugh! It's worse out there (han the white water when we shot those rapids." "There'll be plenty of free bathing for us, but no danger of drowning," Garth replied. "Only trouble, this wind would blow us upstream. We'll have to wait for a shift The only other chance is that one of the boats may be coming out" "Boats?" "The supply steamers of the Hudson's Bay company and other traders, taking out the season's cargoes of furs." The millionaire grunted his relief: "Ugh steamers I Almost good as a plane," "If one comes along, and If we see It la time," Garth qualified. "You are rather farslghted. You might watch for smoke downriver." "I'll do that D n your diddling with any raft I Ten to one, you've already let every steamer slip past All this time with your nose rubbing those d d logs!" Garth went down to tell Lllith that her father was by way of being a well man. He sent her to move the camp to a small opening In the thicket close behind the grumbler. Fuel for a bonfire had already been heaped np on the beach. But Garth did not count strongly on sighting any steamer. The boats might have lingered at the far away Arctic trading posts. Delays meant danger of an early blizzard. He rushed his work on the raft When dusk came, Lilith went on watch, Garth reIn place of her father. lieved her at midnight.

By another sunset Garth had the lake-lik- e raft completed to his satisfaction He had built a superstructure that raised the footing well above the Ralls guarded against waterline. the risk of squall waves washing the still weak millionaire overboard. For sweeps, Garth lashed the paddles to poles made of spruce saplings. He rigged other saplings for mast and yardarin, ready to hoist the blanket as a sail In case of a favorable change In the wind. "Shift or calm, we'll put off at sunrise," he announced. Though Sir. Ramlll grumbled, he ate his fill of broiled whiteflsh, and rolled up for the night to fall Into the healthy heavy sleep of a convalescent Lllith again took the first watch.

Garth turned to eye her In the glare of the upflarlng fire. He looked at her worn moccasins and lynxskln leggings, at the crude skirt of moose-cal- f skin and the tattered upper part of the sports dress. He looked at the girl's face and at the tight pigtails of the hair that had once been so frozen In that modish permanent wave.

At his commands, she began to stoop and rise In unison with him, lowering the blanket to the sand and Jerking It np again in front of the fire, at Irregular intervals. After some time he ordered a halt with the blanket on the ground. He added an explanation: "Those were dots and dashes. We've given the. SOS and my name.
