Slade questioned as he bent lower At the same time that he saw the cage was empty he heard the guttural voice beside him “They got away” mumbled Karnell “They slipped off before I could stop them” Slade studied him for a moment “That’s just too bad” he observed And in spite of the quick and hostile glance of the other man he was able to laugh a little Yet that sense of being enmeshed in movements that were unpredictable returned to him the next mornafter his ing when a brief barked out f his passenger an unexpected command to land With one hand Frayne held his binoculars poised with the other he pointed to a lake that lay off to the left framed in its encircling sprawl of spruce ridges “is where “That” he announced we shall land” “Why there?” asked Slade "I think" said the ornithologist "I spotted a trumpeter swan” smile seemed an Slade’s announcement of his doubts as to the truth of that claim But he remembered Cruger’s warning about pilots not being supposed to wonder “Okay” said Slade as he turned into the wind and dropped lower “But you’re still a long jump from the Anawotto” He could hear the mumble of foreign voices as his ship lost toheadin the way and drifted slowly shoreline He saw the an ashore ax with Karnell wade Two minutes later he in his hand could hear the forest stillness ring with the familiar music of an ax blade against tough northern spruce trunks The sullen giant seemed to know just what was expected of him In less than half an hour he had his spruce boles trimmed and lashed together in a neatly made landing platform His movements Slade observed were made with the automatic precision one might expect from a military engineer rock Slade sat on a and lit a cigarette He sat there with an achieved air of remoteness as he watching the made ready to land his equipment Then the bush pilot’s casual gaze wandered out to the empty ridges that ended in an equally empty skyline “A nice place to summer" he observed Frayne turned and faced him And when Slade caught the unexfrom pected flash of fire that came behind the bifocal glasses he realized how some ghostly armistice behis tween him and passenger had ended He didn’t like the man and he never would “When you are interested in more than engines” that passenger was will perhaps “you proclaiming learn that uncomfortable localities quite often have undisclosed advan- looked up at the ‘Over Used The word “over” is used in more compound and combined words than any other in the Eng’ lish language Webster’s dictionary lists more than 2200 begin ning with overability and ending with overzealousness aerial migration see eiders and snow geese in vees heading for their breeding tarns between the slowly greening muskegs Every swale and slough was noisy with mating whistlers and waveys and loons But that clamorous failed to lighten her heart Even the sight of her father mooring his plane between two saddlebacks in Iviuk Inlet failed to take the cloud from her brooding hazel eyes “What’s on your mind?” questioned the Flying Padre as he Joined her on the rock point “I’m worried about Alan” she ad“We haven’t had word him getting out of that Anacountry” Padre laughed can take “That he proclaimed care of himself” with slightly forced blitheness ’T’ve been shooting out messages from Fort Norman to the Pelly telling him what supplies to fly in as soon mitted about wotto The as he’s I ASK ME ANOTHER A free” doesn’t he come?” his work to do the rest of us” was the as Padre’s reply to that “And here’s where we get busy I’ve got to change the dressing on Ukeresak’s leg wound and pull a couple of teeth for his glamour girl of the igloos" watched her father as he Lynn surstrode up to their “Then “He’s same IN SPITE of record heat— relax and enjoy life in this open top princess line frock!
