The York bout reached the open water of the hay as the sun lifted, bringing an easterly breeze. As they worked up the channel to the post, a sense of loneliness chilled the heart of Outhrle.

When they hud filfot two loads, JOtleime and Guthrie started for their camp out where a boulder-strewsamlsplt thrusting seaward rendered the launching of a loaded canoe possible nt the height of the tide, A mile from the tent on the sandsplt, Etlenne lifted Ills lowered head bumfed by the which held the Hour bags tump-llnfilled with geese. Then lie swung round to the bent figure following, eyes on the ground, "P.oat at de camp." Guthrie straightened until his range of vision Included the sandsplt. I'.elow the boulders at the nose of the spit lay a ship's boat. A boat could come only from the schooner of McDonald. What were they ufter? Nearlng the camp, the packers dropped their loads and continued1 with their guns. If these people had abused Shot, chained to his stake Guthrie's pulse quickened at the thought. Near the tent three men idled, evidently waiting for the owners. "You keep out of this, Etlenne. You're sore. Let me do the talking," warned Guthrie, as he approached the camp. Suddenly breaking Into a run, he shouted; "Stop halting that dog, or I'll turn him loose on you!" Standing out of reach, a young sailor tossed sand Into the face of the Infuriated alrednle, straining at his leash. "AH right I Turn him loose," was the truculent reply, and retreating, the sailor cocked his shotgun. "Put down thut gun, you young fool;" commanded the elder of the back-breakin- n e the Heaker. "What did he want?" "lie want talk wld you. He leave dls." Old Anne handed Outhrle a fohf-I'sheet of paper. Opening it, he read : "The Hudson's P.ay Company, I'lkwan: "This Is to save you a trip to the Island after the stu.T left on ti e beach by that walrus faced geologist, Quar-rleI can use most of It, und will pay St. John's prices for ll on my return home.

"When your people came to Elkwan when we were down the coast, one of them fellow with a black beard tried something that will get him knifed If he shows up at the post again." At the words, Etlenne slowly moved up to a position beside Guthrie, his right hand resting carelessly on his hip, the fingers touching the bone handle of his sheath knife. The bearded leader of the sailors glanced curiously at the Hint-likface of the half breed, and smiled Indifferently at the threat "Just tell him for me, will you, tt keep away from Elkwan?" "Oh, you mean P.Iack I'.reault He's sailing master owns the schooner. I'm the mate. He's a bit rough, I'll admit, but don't make any mistake about who's boss. McDonald's run ning this party." "That's why I'm asking you to tell McDonald that we won't stand for ninnhandliiig women on tills coast," Insisted Guthrie. "Hlghto. Ill tell him. Well, we'll be off,'' said the big sailor, offering his hand, which Garth shook. "I'm dad to meet a reasonable Hudson's i.v man and one who wasn't sitting snug on tne bay when we had our backs to the wall in front of Amiens." And ns Garth stood pondering the remark.

Judg h g from the coolness of Swan, the i:iiss!c nary, Quarrler, without doubt, had published it In Albany; soon It would be the property of the whole west coast. Poor, loyal Ninda!

"No, we can't give you any!" It was Guthrie's turn to smile. "We need every shell we've got." He glanced at the muzzles of the guns of the strangers. "Our shells wouldn't fit those cannon of yours, anyway. We use twelve gunge guns with No. 6 shot At close range It gets more geese than this big stuff. "McDonald gets 'em with a Lewis-A- res a burst Into a flock and kills half dozen." "So you've got Lewis guns, ehT abruptly (remanded Garth. "Oh, yes I We're heeled. If you people should take the notion to try to run us out of the buy." "Why, mini ! you've got as much right bere as we have, but if you don't pluy straight, we'll run you out that's all." The blue eyes of the sailor met the chill gaze of the soldier in a long, stare, and from that mutual apprulsul, the reaction In the mind of each man was Identical. "You may but you'll sweat some. Now, I want to give you fair warning thut some of your people have come to us this summer of their own accord. There's an Injun who claims you stole his daughter" "What! That skunk of an OJIbwal He tells you that?" Guthrie sickened nt the thought of Nlnda's memory being made the catspawof IndUn gossip. "That's what he claims. It's none of my business, but he's got It in for you, so don't blame us. He's working for us, of course, for the fur."
